MOONSCARS is now available for both PC and console! Don't miss out on this quality Metroidvania! store.steampowered.com/app/1374970/Moonscars/ Also! I realize I didn't actually give a reason why you should click the green "follow" button on the Roc's Odyssey Kickstarter. It's the easiest way to support Graig's game dev-ing endeavors, as that follower count shows how many people are interested in Roc's Odyssey. As well, this will tell me if you want to hear more about Roc's Odyssey, as there's a lot more to be said about the game beyond the reveal trailer. Even if you aren't interested in Roc's Odyssey, this is still a great way to thank him for his dedication to the Hollow Knight community. This video wouldn't exist without him, so send Graig some love by clicking that green button! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sunshinefestival/rocs-odyssey-a-hollow-knight-inspired-2d-metroidvania?ref=clipboard-prelaunch Also also, sorry mossbag, I forgot to add you to the list of voice actors in the video. I guess Graig was technically a voice actor too, so I hope you both can forgive me ;-;

[@Baconomics1]

it feels notable how often he mentioned the blackwyrm

[@OptimalLeisure]

Well, he also mentioned the Radiance and Pale King dating a lot so...

[@Baconomics1]

@@OptimalLeisure true but radiance and the pale king are both prominent so it makes sense he'd reference the two The blackwyrm is only ever referenced in a single line of dialogue that is easily skipped, I'm sure many players never see the name, and those that do have no idea what it is I've only heard like one theory ever about what the "blackwyrm" could even be

[@Shadowed_Ninja]

@@Baconomics1 It could be the black egg temple

[@justsomeguy4422]

@@Shadowed_Ninja but if its a Wyrm as we know in the lore, where is it now that it shed its previous form? theres also the question of wether or not the Black Egg naturally occured there or if the Pale King had it specifically made to house the Radiance with its host.

[@justsomeguy4422]

@@Baconomics1 i like the idea that the Blackwyrm is just another higher being but of void much like the opposite of the Palewyrm/Pale King and possibly has connections to the void entity/shade lord which has possible connection to the 8 eyed head of the creature that is behind the fury of the fallen chest, the eyes line up perfectly. its just speculation though but it would kinda make sense if thats how wyrms work according to bardoon. just more transformation, not really death. after the battle of the black wyrm its possible that void entity shed its physical body under kings pass, and kinda just seeped into hallownest itself, branching out and spreading to find Pale King (who is hidden inside the dream realm of a fallen soldier outside where the Palace should be, and the soldier is covered in the void tendril/vines as if the void entity knows where it was hiding) but whats anticlimatic is that finding the pale king on the throne kinda brings up the question do these higher beings choose to die or can they be killed, and as far as weve seen with the Radiance you can kill a higher being, so whats with pale kings corpse on the throne. if a wyrm doesnt die and just transforms each time what are the limitations of that and are the forms chooseable. i know TC pretty left details like this open for interpretation but its just so well crafted you could endlessly expand up the theories.

Your editing is amazing, also conspiracy theory, all the “trolling” Graig did is just reveals for ZOTE BOAT.

[@aut0nomous]

I remember hanging out in the HK discord a couple of days after the SS trailer and Graig showed up and just started trolling. He even offered to take someone on a date.

[@nikotsapaliaris4919]

Imagine is Silksong is a prequel, and at the very end you wonder into a strange place called greenpath, and the final boss is the knight

[@haseebahmed2544]

Probably not gonna happen cuz hallownest and pharloom are very far away

I watched this video and an idea of all the craig stuff poped up un my head right now, what if the saw blades on WP are actually Essence from the PK and the guard remember them has saw blades because they where actually harming to their kind and it was the only depiction In the mind of the kingsmold it could give, sorry for bad english

[@vdxx-_-]

during fighting they better have SHAW and others for fighting also need to add a GIT GUD after beating a boss

[@GlitchKnight113]

I have a cracked theory, the 'age' of a vessel is actually based of of combat prowess, HK is very tall and stuff bc he has been training his whole life, hornet is slightly taller and older bc she has some training, but not much, and bv has only a little training, and is thus only a little older, and the knight and dead vessels have none

[@lewislake5128]

18:55 I’m pretty sure that’s an actual slip up and people can’t dream after the radiance kicks off some stuff in pharloom. Music seems quite prominent in SS so maybe there’s some kinda quest involving bugs not dreaming, therefore no inspiration. Also he referred to travelling upwards to the end of the game, so maybe it’s about returning home too, especially if the map is accurate.

[@starrynight1165]

I feel like the dream thing is either not real, or TC said he could say it which would make it not a slip up. Non disclosure agreements are no joke
