@@MaskerHollowKnight videos take time and effort to make and the editing is decent! you even reply to comments, which is becoming less rare, but i can't say there's much to comment on. I hated Hornet and her being important bothered me so much that i eventually was forced by my own brain to consider Why she acted the way she did. yes, i know this isn't a morality ranking, but you can't take a game full to the brim with detail to consider and just Not consider it when putting something out a video meant to encompass something as nebulous as niceness. You could flip it on its head and maybe make jokes out of easy misconceptions but its like you didn't even play the game. And maybe you didn't! Did you have fun making this or did you make it because you felt obligated? I haven't even finished watching the video so maybe I'll eat my words, but this... this is a tragedy. this is Sad. go find something you love and do your absolute best on it- above and beyond, not just your first impressions but- you could even use the MLA format to help you along with breaking out of just one side of the dichotomy. Please don't skim the surface as if that's all that's there- it's incredibly boring. P.S. Hornet Dissection: She's probably tired of having false hope for a nigh endless flow of hopeless vessels, and maybe the vessels aren't just hopeless, but dangerous to her and the people she tries to protect, but honestly the title Princess Protector doesn't really fit the way I first expected. She has the haughtiness of a princess, she's born of royal blood, and she protects Hallownest by... purifying the infected masses. Because of that, she doesn't participate in her community like a political monarch would usually be expected to, so she's trapped beneath the surface until a vessel actually proves its strength- and she can't just let you at the dreamers or the black egg will leak more infection and you have a Time Limit to worry about and if she slacks on preventing Any of this everyone is Dead and she hasn't had a break in decades, if not centuries, except nope, time doesn't move in Hallownest anymore. She's drained and she has to be constantly vigilant and she's barely a princess anymore and mourning has become tiresome, Hopeless Vessels have become pests instead of siblings. There are too many vessels to mourn. Her mother, however, is the one person she will allow herself a moment of weakness for, and you end her. She has no reason to believe in you except that you keep going. She has no reason to believe that anything will get better and yet she works tirelessly. I'd be surprised if by the time Silksong rolls around she doesn't collapse in some way after so long of having to be strong around the clock.

[@meatkirbo]

She’s outright hostile at first, but after you challenge her for the king’s brand she’s an invaluable ally, and earns a lot of points for that. I’d say low A tier as well

I knew about the grub one because lots of comments told me, but not the pale king one, so thanks!

[@Antoronyx_]

The flying creatures are called grubberflies

[@not-german6054]

The Pale King: The Pale King arrived in Hallownest as a Wyrm (seen in Kingdom's Edge as the Outcast Shell). After dying he transforms into the form we find him in the White Palace. His story is that he wanted to make Hallownest his own Kingdom which lead to wars between the different tribes (mantis, bees, moths etc.) The leader of the moth tribe (the Radiance) HATED the Pale King and casted a very dangerous infection upon the Kingdom in order to stop him. To stop it, the Pale King had about 1 million children (the vessels, one of which are you) with the White Lady. He wanted to find the perfect one to contain the infection. He let all of the other ones die in the Abyss. He then trained the Pure Vessel (the chosen vessel for the infection containing process), to be as strong and mindless as possible. Then he sealed it with the infection in the temple of the black egg to suffer eternal torture. He deserves his own tier below F. The White Lady also doesn't deserve such a high tier considering that she knew all of her children were going to die. By the way: You cannot take the godhome fights of NPCs into account for their ranking as they don't know that they are there or at least, are very confused as to what is actually going on and they don't have much of a choice. They didn't choose to fight you there. You did. The only Bosses that know what is happening are (at least who I know of) Hornet (partially), Grimm, NKG, Pure Vessel (probably but that is best to not think about) and the Radiance.

[@TnT-fusion]

So true

[@Gastro-enterite-en-imax]

[@leafar08]

I think 1 million isn't the right number... Just look at the Abyss. That's more like a quintillion, or even more I think 😢

[@JMNplays584]

Yes, but he was doing so to save his kingdom. His children were born with the void bestowed within them, and couldn’t feel emotion or pain.

[@SrakenKraken]

​@@JMNplays584flawed vessels could actually, that's why we see hollow knight looking back to the knight in the birthplace cutscene

[@GarryDumblowski]

About Grimm, there's not actually a whole lot in the game implying whether or not the Troupe is evil or not. The use of red and black, and the references to nightmares, all make them sound like the bad guys but it's sort of implied that they're something of a cleanup crew, coming to Hallownest because it's full of old dreams that had been left behind and cleaning them up as part of the ritual. Though, of course, that doesn't suddenly make it ok that the Nightmare's Heart brainwashes everyone who joins the Troupe...

[@burgesskids2101]

XD, same.

[@adih-is4ud]

Also he sacrifices his members for his 'child'

[@amydrunkonmilk1436]

Grub father doesn't eat the grubs, the grubs went inside him so they can turn into the next stage, weather it be a butterfly or a beetle or whatever. Its a normal thing in nature

[@KelsiThePyrofly]

So, about the Pale King: From the perspective of this list (how nice they are to the Knight), D tier is probably pretty reasonable, since the only direct interaction between him and the Knight was Pale King leaving the Knight behind in the Abyss as Pure Vessel followed him out of there. However, I don't think he deserves nearly as much hate as he gets, overall. His plan to seal the Radiance required terrible sacrifice, but by that point, I don't think he had any good options available. As soon as the Radiance was forgotten and the Infection started, the King was faced with the impossible choice of watching his beloved Hallownest fall and all his people die (or worse) to the Infection, or following the only plan he could think of in a desperate bid to save them, even at the greatest cost imaginable. I think it is also important to remember that although the Pale King's plan demanded great sacrifice from others, he did not spare himself any pain. In fact, with the exception of Hollow, he may have suffered for it more and sacrificed more than any other bug. He worked with Void, almost certainly knowing the danger it posed to him. He probably risked his relationship with the White Lady in order to secure Herrah's service as a dreamer. He sacrificed millions of his own children (or former children, or potential children, depending on your interpretation) to the Void to create the vessels, and finally, after raising Pure Vessel from childhood and bonding with them, he had to seal them away in the Black Egg. He then got to live the rest of his life with the crushing regret of all that he had done, and the pain of all that he had lost, until (probably) the Void finally killed him. Bottom line: I don't think it's a coincidence that the inscription "A true servant gives all of the kingdom" is found on a fountain made in the likeness of the Pale King. In a situation where both options were terrible, he did what he thought was best. For him, there was no cost too great for Hallownest, and after exploring Hallownest and falling in love with it myself, after seeing so much beauty even in its fallen, broken state, I can't help but understand the sentiment.

[@sholamakinde430]

justice for pk

[@name_l4ss23]

My fav part of hallownest lore for some reason is when pale king tested if the white palace is possible then when he got on his throne just died of Exhaustion

[@MaskerHollowKnight]

lol, I need to watch some mossbag to catch up with the lore

[@EaterOfGeese]

I know this is a joke but the white palace isn't actually real, at least not the one we parkour through. It's a metaphor. It's all in a kingsmould's dreams. When he was around, the radiance was killing everyone, and it was a very painful time. No one knew where the king was, and this guard spent a lot of time marching around the palace, so he could only imagine it to be an incredibly painful place, filled with sawblades, thorns, and impaling spikes. This is also why the path of pain is the most painful place in hallownest. The pain of the pure vessel becoming destined to fail was so great that it was like being cut by a million sawblades. "To witness secrets sealed, one must endure the hardest punishment," the secret being the pure vessel getting an emotion, and the punishment being enduring the path of pain.

[@rccastro0711]

If anyone put Grub Father in F tier, maybe you never searched about it, in the charms and secret room you can find images of grubs with wings, suggesting they can fly after evolving, so maybe the grub father eats them becaus it’s their circle of life, so they can become flying grubs

[@MaskerHollowKnight]

I think your right, I may have not understood what was meant by him eating his children lol

[@Reversesans]

grubberflies, thats why the achievement is called "Metamorphosis"

[@MarsBars88]

And if anybody is wondering why the grubfather isn't a grubberfly, it's because only female grubs turn into grubberflys.

[@naomilemarrec]

I've seen this theory a lot and I feel like it's just wishful thinking, hk is all about misleading appearances, a bank teller who's really a thief, a father who misses his kids actually just manipulates us for a free meal ig, basically the only talking characters in deepnest bait you into a trap bench, etc. unfortunately i think losing the grubs we so devotedly rescued fits with the themes :(

[@Keira-nh1ms]

​@@MarsBars88all the grubs are female then? Wow

[@10jimmy]

The dreamers straight up try to end you by trapping you in the dream world, fortunately you get dream nail and escape, wouldn't say they're s tier as they actively try to destroy your soul

[@MaskerHollowKnight]

yeah I didn't know

[@adih-is4ud]

Well they do extremely important job of containing infection but they have very weakened up in this process so they don't fight with us as they cannot suffer anymore and after seeing how miserable is infected crossroads to travel my respect for dreamers has increased

[@EaterOfGeese]

Let me find the dialogue real quick, it will help me explain why they do this

[@EaterOfGeese]

"Go no further, little shadow. What compels its climb out of the darkness? What compels its return to this sacred kingdom?" They are asking amongst themselves what made us (the vessel) escape the abyss and attempt to break the seal on the black egg temple. "A call from beyond the Seals? By the Vessel, or by that captive light?" They are asking if we were called by the radiance or the Hollow Knight in the temple. "Would the Seals break? They cannot be undone. But the Vessel weakens. That plague springs anew. They must be undone." They are asking if the seal will break soon, as the hollow knight is wearing out, and the radiance might fully escape soon. They are deciding if they should let us break the seal and try to replace the hollow knight or if the seal is strong enough to not. "Yet still our Seals remain. Our duty holds. It must be cast away. Our duty holds. It shall be done." They have decided that the seal is strong enough to not risk it with us. What this means is that they conclude that they should not risk a vessel replacing the hollow knight. Their only way to do this is to trap the vessel in an eternal sleep, in the dream realm. So they had a good reason, and they didn't even kill you. Just a literal eternal sleep. Luckily a moth gives us a dream nail to cut out of the dream realm and proceed with our mission.

[@einstatist6133]

I'm pretty sure that Eternal Emilita is a canibal that ate all her friends and possibly thinks about eating the knight too, but she doesn't. Gotta give her some cred there. Also the madness that is connected to her canibalizing her friends saved her from the infection, because she doesn't sleep. So canibalism is good if you're a bug, because it caused her to no attack the knight (or they just didn't look tasty). Nicest canibal I've ever met - at least B tier for me

[@MaskerHollowKnight]

yeah I never tried dreamnailing her so I didn't know

[@JMNplays584]

[@wetsocks4460]

I dont think we were ever in a real relationship with her, we only know that she has a crush on the Knight because of drema nail dialogue and everything in her house. Like she never outright says that she loves the Knight and as such I dont think its too fair to say that she "left" the knight, it's more similar to someone's crush changing from one person to another than outright leaving us for someone else.

The Pale King is the one who gave all the bugs a mind to think, created vessels, but only problem was infection/radiance. He needed a perfect vessel to seal it and killed other vessels by throwing them in the void (knight included) so they dont become infected and cause a bigger problem. Then once he found the Hollow Knight/Pure Vessel, he sealed the radiance in it and called the 3 dreamers to help seal the black egg temple to save Hallownest temporarily.

Swap the Pale king with Hornet. The pale king is the reason the game is happening in terms of the lore. He has a kid with his wife which gives birth to a TON of the other hollow knights which mass genocide was commited to your in-game brothers and sisters until a 'PURE' vessel remained which the guy you play as was tossed out and it's a miracle or act of chance to know HOW YOU ESCAPE THE PIT!!!!!!!.... He also has an affair with the leader of Deepnest which gives birth to Hornet you've kind of placed in F TIER.. Which I want a re-evaluation on her; She act's the way she does to the knight because Hallownest was or is in such a state because of the Pale King and his kids which include her and the mass of VOID CHILDREN. She hates herself as much as she hates the knight and her mother, one of your S TIER Dreamers who sent you to the DREAM the first go when you attain the Dreamnail did so just to keep the radiance sealed. The bit is, the dreamers in S tier don't know the seal is failing and the radiance is escaping to cause the infection ALL OVER AGAIN because YES, IT HAPPENED BEFORE THE GAME STARTED AND THAT TOO WAS CAUSE BY THE PALE KING!!! He though himself a god thus had the bugs worthship his pale end. He converted the other bugs where Hallownest was being built and THEY were worshiping the Radiance. Because of the Pale King, He started the infection, tried to clean it up in the most hap-hazard way possible, had an affair to force 3 other bugs to dream eternally to put a band-aid over a hole in the bottom of a boat and that hole is a mile wide.... He's Below F tier, He's Z Tier.... AND HIS WHITE PALACE?! F*** Z-TIER, HE DESERVES A TIER WORSE THAN ALL LIVING THINGS!!!!.... And Hornet, seeing both her home and people being turned by the Radiance and the Pale King being both the cause of the infection, her creation and the failing seal; It's understandable why she's angry with the knight, and when you play as the knight trying to fix this mess, she fights you so you'll do better and pick the hardest path to rid Hallownest of the infection.

I'm pretty sure the dream moth that gives you dreamnail is seer, but I might be wrong. also imo different dreamers are different, Monomon is works to help you while Herrah wants the Hollow Knight to stay sealed.

[@greghall3281]

Hey just found your channel I like your videos but you should make sure you stick to the criteria of the video. This one got a little convoluted as you ranked certain npcs based on usefulness and others based purely off niceness. Also if you are going to keep making hollow knight videos you should just watch a moss bag lore video so you are all caught up on the lore. (Would help for instances like describing the pale king in this video, also the dreamers are 3 separate people who all treat the knight differently so in terms of niceness they should be separated, this was also an instance you ranked purely off usefulness and not niceness leading to confusion within your list) great video I like your content a lot keep up the great work, these are just some tips from a big hollow knight fan Ps: fragile strength doesn’t break in godhome it’s a dream realm area

[@MaskerHollowKnight]

yeah thanks alot I really appreciate this advice, I've started to watch mossbag now so I'll be caught up on all the lore soon 👍 if your interested in joining our discord server: discord.com/invite/pMAS9tyXCz

Pale king is evil asf He's the one who threw all the vessels in the abyss and made buzzsaw land

[@reinbew794]

I will agree with the buzzsaws but he threw the eggs of the vessels in the abyss for the sake of the kingdom. Still not the best king, but definitely not evil.

[@hourglass-pastor]

@reinbew794 that's true tbh and vessels don't feel anything so its not horrible

"The Dreamers are S-Tier" buddy they try to kill your ass twice

[@mothgirl326]

grimm is kinda evil since he wants to "extinguish the last embers of the dying kingdom" which doesnt really mean anything in game but it could mean hornet isnt able to bring back hallownest although its debatable whether she could since the beacon of the pale king is dimming out anyway

Yoy rated Divine in A because she makes unbreakable strength unbreakable with Godhome as the reasoning for it being that important but Fragile charms don't break in Godhome so unbreakable charms are only good in non dream locations in the map and so she is pretty much useless with her prices

The seer and the moth who give you the dream nail are the same. She should be S tier because she literally saves you from being stuck in the dream realm forever.

grubfather probably didnt eat the grubs, as the achievement is named “metamorphosis,” which basically means something seems so evident and obvious, but its the opposite of what you think. he probably was just a big grub in his hut

Grubfather actually sacrifices himself, Sly doesn't truly fight you, it is a dream. And even when you beat him, he bows.

grub father does not kill the grubs! The grubs inside of grub father are a reference to the next stage of the grubs lives where the grubs burrow into the grub father to become "grubberflys". also the achievement is actually cann metamorphisis XD
