Mapping out the world of Silksong

"So let me get this straight 😐. I'm trapped in a strange land full of these CRAZY🤪 culty bell people 🙄. This deadly (and kinda curvy😜) assassin named Lace is trying to murder me 😱 and I have NO IDEA why 😕. And now I have to traverse across a haunted👻 land and LIBERATE✊ the people of Pharloom from some evil curse😈 that uses silk 🧵 and song🔔 to control their bodies and turn them evil. Yeah, that sounds about right. 😼" - Hornet

Has anyone considered that the "desert area" might be the top of the volcanic area - the dust is volcanic ash. Notably volcanic ash is very bad for insects (if i remember correctly it affects their cuticles/pores). Hence why the bugs in the area appear to be in helmets. We even see a dead bug covered in ash. If you are correct about the last judges location it has a thematic tie to his fire abilities.

[@aydenrozzelle7691]

This is actually a good theory. I'm surprised I didn't think of that. Plus this actually works well with his map, which has the vault right above fob. Plus this goes along with my theory which is that this "desert" is the vault. And this volcanic ash or cinder is due to the last judge burning bugs to ash

What if the Nightmare heart is the “hidden plant higher being”, the heart looks kinda like a petal but more importantly the arteries look kinda like roots. There’s also the poem mentioning “heart” and “servitude” and in the next line “wake”. The poem actually makes a bit of sense if you assume the Nightmare heart, or some version, is being hidden. A reason for Grimm wanting white flowers is to maybe fight off the shade lord, maybe the flower is a “waking world” version/embodiment of the Nightmare heart. Also the first menu for silksong had red, rising sparks eerily close to the Grimm Troupe menu in HK. Just a fun thought for fellow Grimm fans

[@AC-sj5rj]

Too bad there probably will be little grimm lore in SS considering they only visit almost dead kingdoms

[@AnisDomini]

@@AC-sj5rj That’s very true and I’m not completely convinced about this myself, but who knows with this little info on silksong. Plus I think the will probably be a reference to Grimm in silksong just because of how popular he is in the community, but 8t is unlikely to be this big of a cameo

[@1umbreon4life]

It seems pretty unlikely, given what we know about the Nightmare Heart. From what we saw in HK, the primary domain of the Nightmare Heart is the Nightmare Realm of the Dream World, which split from the rest of the Dream World in times past. While we know it's possible for a higher being in the Dream World to have dominion over a terrestrial realm as well (a la the Radiance's dominion over Hallownest via the plague), there's nothing to suggest the Nightmare Heart operates in like manner. Instead, we see the Nightmare Heart dipping its metaphorical toes in various kingdoms before leaving without a trace. Also, given the Heart seems to use masks to control its subjects, there's no reason for it to just randomly use silk in another area.

[@AnisDomini]

@@1umbreon4life Yeah this seems more likely tbh, honestly hope it’s a new higher being nowadays

[@ebocinfo4806]

to me, lace seems like the hornet of silksong. When hornet first meets the knight, she fights them to see if they're worthy of being the vessel to save hollownest. It seems that lace is trying to do a similar thing, maybe more extreme- they both allude to the dangers further into the kingdom that we do not know about when we meet them. However, lace may also just want to kill us for whatever motives

I was looking for someone in the comments to mention the bell notes but I didn't think about this, that's pretty clever! I did notice though that those notes are actually a motif from hollow knight, E F# G E is the main melodic motif of the dirtmouth theme and it appears transposed into different keys many many times across the soundtrack such as the greenpath theme, the broken vessel fight theme, the hollow knight fight theme, and the abyss ascension theme

[@erikm8373]

We've seen that the white flowers of the Grey Mourner have some sort of power related to, or similar to, that of the Pale King, and they seem to be able to counteract the Void in the godhome ending after giving one to the Godseeker. If the white flowers all over Pharloom are the same kind of flower, maybe they're the reason for the civilization of Pharloom existing, granting sentience to the bugs the same way the Pale King's presence did. If the theory that those massive pipes are containing the roots of the original plant that makes these flowers, it could be a way for someone to potentially suppress their power or growth, keeping the bugs not totally mindless, but still subservient. It could also be the exact opposite, though. Maybe the pipes are extracting something from this original plant and spreading it to expand the kingdom.

[@sensiblegh0st86]

My best bet as far as plot goes is that Silksong's big bad controls bugs through silk, like puppets. This silk is harvested from Weavers, which is why the Weavers had to leave Farloom, why Hornet was captured, and why Lace attempts to kill Hornet (who intends to go to the capital, right into the enemy's hands).

I don't think you fight shakra, rather she guards the entrance to an area, maybe a shop area of sorts, and you have to have a certain item to be let through, kind of like a combination between the elder baldur in greenpath, and the knight statue blocking the city of tears

[@davidp9264]

the thing that not all maps in the game have not yet all been shown scares me ...

19:24 -- Shown during his statement, what looks like water is seen pouring from some platforms. Might not be the source of Greymore's/"Barnacle Area"'s water/rain, but still.

I know plenty of people have done it already haha but I just beat Pantheon of Hallownest today, and I couldn't be happier

Congrats!

9:33 my favorite part of the game is when lace said "its BLANK CELLIN' Time" and wandered/laced all over the _meet_3

[@gucchiwallece7826]

16:59 Plants can have a fibrous (thin whispy strands of root) or a taproot (one big root with small wisps coming out of it) system of roots. It looks to me like those background roots might be taproots. Taproots are common in Dicot flowers. So perhaps these are roots for really big flowers somewhere above?

24:41 I LOVE this theory! It's an explanation for both the "pipes" and the final boss of the game! Lovely

Me: Silksong is my favorite game! Team cherry: the game is not even out yet… Me: I don’t care

40 seconds in and we get a reference to the infamous zootopia fan comic, thanks mossbag 👍

[@TheShadowWolfGaming]

The black ball enemies are most likely a form of void construct considering that a fraction of its death animation can be seen in which it darkens completely and starts to dissolve into black balls.

[@gemstonegynoid7475]

the pipes through the citadel being for vines, up to the summit of the city in that giant sphere. it makes me think the top of the citadel is holding a bulb for a great flower perhaps. maybe the pipes and the summit will crack apart, revealing the flower and vines. thats a good image. also shout out to you being on tenma's channel. wasnt expecting you to be teaming with vtubers, especially menhera central phase connect.

[@SamYs94]

I cant believe we already had the silksong map for so long and we didn't even notice

[@nickwilliams2745]

I’m scared to watch this bc Im worried it may be so accurate it’d spoil the game

[@ZamWeazle]

Don't you mean the fever dream? There is no game! 😆

I recommend this channel to others by telling them that each video is simply 20-80 minutes of a being made of pure, crystallized bathos squeezing many litres of blood from a modestly-sized turnip.

[@fusieisbsi888]

This game is going to be fantastic. The reason its taking so long is because team cherry know it has to be perfect to not seem like a dissapointment compared tp hollow knight

[@thegreatmindgorb8948]

GORB IS INTRIGUED BY THE IDEA OF YOU HAVING THIS ABILITY TO FIND LORE SO EASILY, SURLY YOU HAVE A TRICK UP YOUR SLEVE!

I've been laughing ever since the video ended. You're brilliant.

When silksong is out I won't accept it, we need to continue waiting, to wait and wait, until death
