And it's not like it cost THAT much

do you think he had trouble removing stuff that got stuck in his weird head cage thing

How did the Pale King die?

S A W S

he fell on 6 saw blades

What was his fucking problem?

"Die" is a strong word. For all we know he just changed forms again and fucked off to give bacteria sentience or some shit.

Had to ward off the dirty moth peasants somehow. Turns out whirling death is a bit louder than some gypsy cunt bitching about how butthurt she is about not being able to look at the pretty light anymore.

There's indication that there's void in his room, for whatever reason...

Just started playing this week. How/when am i supposed to do all of the DLC content? I just beat hornet for the 2nd time so im about to go down to the abyss... theres quite a few areas that i havent been to yet.. still not sure what the order for anything is i have just been bashing my head against the wall trying to figure out what to do in what order.

He was using void to create a bunch of shit. All his elite soldiers are made from void. Same with those floating things that don't die no matter how much you kill them. All the Vessels are made from the void as well. It's also implied that the Collector is a defective void soldier that escaped.

Only thing he did wrong was being too nice

Every bit of DLC is end-game content, don't worry about it until you've beaten the game. Also you don't have to do the game in any specific order, just do what you can when you want. Hell, I just recently had a run where I got the tram pass before beating False Knight and went through the City of Tears backwards just for shits and giggles. Once you're done down in the abyss you'll have the last of the "necessary" exploration upgrades so then you're free to fill out the rest of your map and grab more charms or just beeline for the Dreamers.

ghost isnt any more pure than the hollow knight
the difference between them is hollow knight was trained physically while ghost learned how to manipulate the void
only one of those regimens helps against a metaphysical god moth

They're still dead

he took a weak race of bugs and gave them power, knowledge, and prosperity that they never could have even dreamed of. The bugs of Hallownest were just a tribe, among other tribes. and probably not even the strongest tribe, given that they were ruled by the Moth tribe, protected by the Radiance, and were outlived by the Mantis and Bee tribes.

Consider that no other tribe has anything remotely close to a city, complete with a massive sewer system and tram network, at the time when Hollow Knight occurs. if you were a Medieval dirt farmer and a literal god promised to bring you straight in to the 20th century if you would only obey and worship him, would you even question?

this is probably just propaganda by pro-Wyrm loyalists. There were self aware bug tribes before, and after, Hallownest.

I don't think he intended the Hollow Knight to fail. Given how much effort went into it, its likely that its failure was an accident. Also, we don't actually know how long the solution lasted. it could have been centuries, before the corruption started leaking out. it could have appeared to be a good solution, at the time

no... he died. the prophesy was referred to at least twice.

so what do we know about the blackwyrm?

>blackwyrm
What?

its just something mentioned offhand in the game like once or twice
the "war of the blackwyrm" or something

About tree fiddy.

Shit story, shit lore. Just saying. Someone needs to say it. They need to hire a writer for Silk Song. Yes, yes, it's very impressive how small their team is. But they have a kajillion dollars now. They can hire someone freelance to writes something good.

did absolutely nothing wrong

How many of you actually beat every boss in the Pantheons of the Gods? Having a lot of difficulty, kinda just thinking of putting the game down.

well, she's not wrong.

I think mass infanticide and lying to your subjects to keep them from leaving is pretty shitty.

This all would have been solved if the Pale King had just married the Radiance instead of the White Lady

the freaky bug sex would be epic

>fighting your infected brethren to the death
>he's stabbing himself, desperately trying to fight off the plague he was created to seal
>your adversary shows up to help in the final moments, shouting at you to GIT GUD
>you enter the world of dreams and fight the fucking sun
>you break free of your shell and ascend to a state of pure void, then drag a god straight into bug hell with you
Name a better fight in the game than the big shiny moth, I dare you.

Underrated

Did it ever explicitly say he died? I only remember references to the fact that he and his palace disappeared, never outright claims that he died.

Attached: B_Pure_Vessel.png (308x415, 45.84K)

no... he was stabbing himself to let the Radiance out and get more power. he was fully consumed, by that point, and a slave to the god within him

The last one takes too fucking long, I fucking can’t
Individually sure
But the last fucking door killed me, I decided not to

you see his dead body, it's where you get the second half of the kingsoul
also, iselda is a hotwife

No one knows. It's left ambiguous. Some think he's trying to let more infection in, others that he's trying to stop it.
Most think he's trying to kill himself, both to help you and to end his suffering.

>dead body
It's a moult. You see him in the palace and he's much smaller because mature bugs are often much smaller than their larval stage.

I’m surprised how much this game got away with just being E10+

it's not a moult. there's an egg inside the cast off shell that is hEAVILY hinted to be the pale king's egg. there is no such egg in the white palace. face it man, he's gone

>you see two of his dead bodies
Prove he's dead.

You can get away with a whole lot if you hide it behind sophisticated words.

Bardoon, The giant caterpillar at the top of Kindgom's Edge, said that the wyrm died. The "snow" was just its body breaking apart and decaying.

I don't recall exactly who, but if one of the characters said something like "What is the point of forseeing your death, if its unavoidable?", referring to the Pale King. I wish I could remember who said this... anyway, Bardoom also said that Wyrm knew it was destined to die.

I think the Pale King knew he was dying, and so set about finding a permanent prison for the Radiance, so Hallownest could carry on, after his death. Given the inscription on the fountain in the center of City of Tears, he was pretty sure he had found it

look i get it, you want to believe your bug imam is in occultation but he's very clearly dead

I wonder if Hornet is completely loyal to the King or if we'll get a boss outta him.

Hallownest has fallen to ruin
nearly every HN bug has turned into a mindless savage
The corruption threatens to destroy the entire underground kingdom
Radiance is slowly breaking free.

if the Pale King were alive, you think he would let all of this just happen? Everything he had worked for, everything he had created... just wrecked and pissed on by his most hated enemy? there is no way he is NOT dead

when does Silksong take place? before, or after Hollow Knight?

I radiant'd all bosses before I could complete the final pantheon, dying at the end everytime is a kick in the balls.
