Hollow Knight- Don't Kill the Nailsmith!

After fully upgrading your nail four times with the Nailsmith (which takes a total of 6 pale ore) you will have a tough conversation with the Nailsmith.
After fully upgrading the nail to the pure nail the Nailsmith will give you some new dialogue outside:
"With a Pure Nail forged, my work in this lifetime comes to an end. My only remaining desire is to see and feel the nail strike true!
I beg you, cut me down. As my final moment in life, I want to taste the blade's exquisite edge.
After all this time, all this toil... haven't I earned it?
Do not hesitate. I beg you. Cut me down! I want to taste that blade's exquisite edge."
Do Not Kill the Nailsmith! In this video I will show you how you can save the Nailsmith's life and he can live happy with Nail Master Sheo.
Note: The Nailsmith will not move to Sheo's hut if the player has not acquired Great Slash. He will disappear after being spared and only appear in Sheo's hut after the player has gained the ability and rested on a bench afterward.

Well on people’s behalf who’ve killed him, life in Hallownest is awful, everyone is a zombie and it’s all about if you can kill or not, and the player knows the infection is rapidly getting worse, and you could only assume he would be infected and driven mad like the rest if you left him alive.

Nail smith is a good guy. He did make your nail stronger purely because he wanted too

[@RelyeaGaming]

And you paid him

[@RelyeaGaming]

What did he do with all that geo??? My theory is Melibe was his banker

[@MrWeegee]

I just fully upgraded my nail and I’m happy I found this video. I didn’t want to kill him because he wasn’t trying to kill me. Killing myla I felt bad for but she was trying to kill me and I wanted to put her out of her misery

[@RelyeaGaming]

I feel this

[@legrandliseurtri7495]

Did you dreamnail while she was attacking? She still thinks about her little song:(

[@Bluebatstar]

I didn't even know this was an option and I feel so bad now...

[@ShadowNinjax29]

Looks like I have to start a new save.

[@Lordradost]

"For anyone who killed the Nailsmith; shame on you!" Well, to everyone who collected all the Grubs...

If you don’t, you can find him learning the art of painting at the paint master’s place.

[@RelyeaGaming]

Very quick

[@buckethead7745]

If you didn’t recognize, I told a pun there XD

[@RelyeaGaming]

[@buckethead7745]
