Im pretty sure menderbug mentions that there’s lots of menderbugs so it isn’t totally illogical that that happens but the sign might just be the other menderbugs nod of respect to their fallen companion.
And since that menderbug really loves that specific sign on the crossroad, most likely nobody except that menderbug knows how to fix it given how complex that signpost is
fun fact: that wooden plank also gets reinforced if you skip the false knight fight and come back to it later. i learned that by trying to skip the fight twice.
Fun fact, there's multiple menderbugs (all of which are uninfected)! This means that you killed an active member of a community that genuinely enjoyed their lives!
Bugs don't have blood. They have soul. It's stated that soul animates all bugs. And soul is involved with the mind and the infection is involved with the mind. And before you say why aren't his eyes orange? Well false knight infected and yet his eyes aren't orange.
@@stuffstuff3455 i don't know for sure if false knight was infected or not because I'm not too good with lore but there is the possibility they were just a maggot that went crazy with power after stealing the armour and weapon
@@ssmarti777 That's exactly what it is. He even states that the Menderbugs throw down surprisingly hard when they all get together, given how quiet and invisible their careers are.
I accidentally killed him during hollow knight I kept doing desolate dive till I realized the sign was not getting repaired checked the hunters journal and seen I had killed him
I wanna share this mystery that has been bothering me for a quite some time now, where the hell do corpses and dead carcasses go after you leave the instance, is there a bug that takes the dead bugs and throw it in waterways? could it be the menderbugs?
The real answer is so they don’t cause clutter, the majority of games have corpses disappear for no reason as well. I doubt it’s anything more, but there could be a cool lore explanation idk.
woah im more surprised with 1:53 crossroad mask shard statue pogo... i watched hundreds of hk speedruner contents. how come i never saw anyone do that, i have no idea lmao
Yes it is possible but You need dash or long nail charm from sebula and this make it worthless for ane speedrun category. This mask is only required for categories with delicate flower quest so it's best to take it on the way from Sebula to grave. For casual play through much more fun gives me lurking fly from right. It's not exactly easy but it's much more durable and collecting 3 mask shards before first miniboss/boss fight is a very fun challenge.
With the menderbash diary entry being somewhat new I would assume the menderbug community is still living and thriving in hallownest which means someone's gonna be absent at the next menderbash Does this mean the menderbugs have a stronger will and mind than myla they are corrupted with the orange bits flying out but the menderbugs diary about the sign being broken is really recent meaning he is just like the fools infected yet fully in control does this mean menderbug has a stronger will and mind than the hollow knight menderbug confirmed smartest bug step away monomon here comes a new strong willed bug
Yeah after fighting the Gruz Mother in the South East of Forgotten Crossroads there's a tiny village with two openable houses, one has an important shopkeep named Sly you have to rescue, and the other is the home of the Menderbug, with journal entries and a home designed to make you feel guilt.
How do you gain control of the night when coming down from the surface in order to hit meandering with your nail in midair? I've always just used descending dark, as I get stunned from the fall(nor can I moved when I'm freefalling down.) Is pausing on the way down what gives you control of him? Sort of like pause buffering/inventory drops?
yes, pausing gives you control of your character early when falling down the well. in most other situations where you're not in control, the game also stops you from pausing, so its not very usable and therefore doesnt get a lot of attention.
Oh my god I think I've accidentally killed him- I'm on my first play through, but I'm 30 hours in and I haven't seen him yet? And one time I vaguely remember killing a bug other than maya and hearing it yell, but it was right after I accidentally killed Maya 🥲 so I thought it was just like, me going mad bcuz I felt bad or smth??
1:54 I've been trying this for ages, only to no avail.... Although some how i did it after taking the mantis claw. But not like this. However i am able to do it in that one part in crystal peak
actually, there are many menderbugs, since menderbug mentions it in his diary, and, im pretty sure every other sign gets repaired, showing that there are a lot of menderbugs
lmao sucks to be you, I once got menderbug while not even searching for him: I walked out of the platform room of the crossroads and he jumped away too fast for me to kill him for the journal, but I got him again after 5 ddarks into the well
Im pretty sure menderbug mentions that there’s lots of menderbugs so it isn’t totally illogical that that happens but the sign might just be the other menderbugs nod of respect to their fallen companion.
or maybe they work in certain pre assigned sectors of which some overlap and some dont
And since that menderbug really loves that specific sign on the crossroad, most likely nobody except that menderbug knows how to fix it given how complex that signpost is
@@nikel- maybe nobody does fix it becouse they know how much he loves to repair it
Hey guys, maybe, you weren't enough attentive, but we kill the LAST mender bug in the whole hallownest
@@michaelsergiyenko1972 So you are saying that his diary about a mender guild is a lie?
fun fact: that wooden plank also gets reinforced if you skip the false knight fight and come back to it later. i learned that by trying to skip the fight twice.
I triggered the metal bars like that. I just assumed it was false knight's doing so I don't escape again hahaha
The price for killing mender bug is the mountain of regret and emotional trauma you will carry for the rest of your adventure.
Mender bug isn't even infected, I felt so bad when I killed him
At least the last thing he saw was his favorite sign
@@Gis_Animations You can see infection particles coming out of him so he’s either infected but can control it or radiance
@@moothman82 you're right. He probably has a low level of infection like Sly or Bretta
Especially if you read his journal
Fun fact, there's multiple menderbugs (all of which are uninfected)! This means that you killed an active member of a community that genuinely enjoyed their lives!
If menderbug is uninfected then why does he let out of orange particles when you kill him?
@@stuffstuff3455 could be blood it is different colours in different animals
@@stuffstuff3455 could also be that a couple infection particles stuck to its body but we're unable to infect it
Bugs don't have blood. They have soul. It's stated that soul animates all bugs. And soul is involved with the mind and the infection is involved with the mind. And before you say why aren't his eyes orange? Well false knight infected and yet his eyes aren't orange.

Aren’t there many menderbugs? And isn’t that the only sign that stays broken? It’s just a different menderbug
so every menderbug is assigned to a different sign?
@@איליגוטמן-צפון Probably not assigned signs, they just fix whatever they can when they see it. This particular menderbug loves that sign, though.
@@ShadowlessDeath47 so no one else love that sign, how tragic.
Everyone is dead
@@איליגוטמן-צפון
or they just respect the fallen menderbug’s love for that sign, and don’t touch it.
I’d say the only real consequence is guilt, which is probably the worst one
There's more than one Menderbug.
It's not like one single bug fixes every single sign in all of Hallownest. There's a bunch of them.
Menderberri exists which is probably Menderbug's crush or girlfriend
@@MarxGen2408 and he mentions a menderbash which sounds like it’s a huge party or gathering where all the menderbugs get together
@@ssmarti777 That's exactly what it is. He even states that the Menderbugs throw down surprisingly hard when they all get together, given how quiet and invisible their careers are.

"First things first, we talk to Elderbug"
Liked the video immediately after seeing this

Then perfect cut after "YOLO"
I wanna share this mystery that has been bothering me for a quite some time now, where the hell do corpses and dead carcasses go after you leave the instance, is there a bug that takes the dead bugs and throw it in waterways? could it be the menderbugs?
It is possible other bugs eat them (For example the fuckers in deepnest just smell a dead body)
They fall through the floor like in the colosseum- just kidding of course, idk
The real answer is so they don’t cause clutter, the majority of games have corpses disappear for no reason as well. I doubt it’s anything more, but there could be a cool lore explanation idk.
They get taken by the funeralbugs, of course
They decompose
The dream speedrun music and the TAS nail bounces on the ceiling🤣
woah im more surprised with 1:53 crossroad mask shard statue pogo... i watched hundreds of hk speedruner contents. how come i never saw anyone do that, i have no idea lmao
I think it’s no longer possible in recent versions of the game.
Yes it is possible but You need dash or long nail charm from sebula and this make it worthless for ane speedrun category.

Of course killing Menderbug has consequences. Never being able to sleep at night again

The editing on this video is hilarious, ngl. Would love to see more content in this style
Didn’t know this character existed, interesting. Although I haven’t played much yet, only got it recently.

so the short answer is: the only consequence is becoming a heartless monster
1:54 you can actually do that without dash if you lure the vengeful on the right over
he didnt need to do that with dash though its just a quick way of moving horizontally
@@katiehazeltine5312 that is incorrect
Sooo, does anyone know what happens if you kill bugs,(like menderbug), before you get the hunters journal?
They count to the journal but you cant see until you get it, which means you can finish the journal, and then get the journal
@@JocaPlays87 oh cool! Thanks friend! 😊
oh yes, there are consequences... you have to carry that weight
A long time
The purpose of menderbug is to test whether or not you are a monster. I am a monster.
The only consequence is that menderbug will haunt your dreams
It’s probably the most tragic thing in the whole damn game if you kill him…I learned that the hard way by accident..
fun fact: if you kill menderbug and break the speakers in a tram, the music stops forever and the speakers will never get repaired.
They never get repaired anyway. I've never killed menderbug, but I've broken the speakers and they don't get repaired
How do you gain control of the night when coming down from the surface in order to hit meandering with your nail in midair?

Obviously it has consequences! How will I know where to go without that sign?

if hollow knight was a YTP:
They are more powerful than we thought
his death sound is cute af
Me seeing the wiki: this will be long, only 2 percent to see Menderbug
Me when I try it: huh, third try
1:54 You’re meaning to tell me I’ve been able to do it that way without needing to lure a vengefly over…
The amount of time I've spent trying to get that damn mosquito over there without getting mauled by those worms...
"we make are way" :(
Menderbug fixes signs, enough said.
Top tier editing ✨
Grammar mistake knocks it down from S-tier to B-tier.
1:56 I thought that was possible!
this video is amazing and all BUT YOU USE P TO DASH!?
I mean everything you break gets mended even after killing menderbug so it's probably the other menderbugs.
Or, he’s not really dead. Re-MenderBug
Why does it get renforced in the first place
I think its not THE menderbug but A menderbug
100+ hours in game 110% and only saw menderbug once.
lmao sucks to be you, I once got menderbug while not even searching for him: I walked out of the platform room of the crossroads and he jumped away too fast for me to kill him for the journal, but I got him again after 5 ddarks into the well
Well. Ghosts _do_ exist in the holllow knight world, sooooooo
Even in death Menderbug mends ⚰🕊🙏
I don't get it. What happened at the end there. Something was mended? What was it supposed to look like?
do all the signs stay broken if you kill Menderbug ?
theres mores menderbugs and they reinforced the arena
its house opens up

There's a menderbug?
