The Lore of Seals in Hollow Knight

Seals are an element that appears frequently in Hollow Knight, so I wanted to take a closer look at each individual seal as well as what all seals appear to have in common.

[@galaxy-eyesgarchomp9478]

I always appreciated how the seals in Hollow Knight had shapes and markings in them. Sealing spells typically have these sorts of markings. The more markings in the seal, the more potent the seal. It seems Team Cherry even took that into consideration while designing the seals of Hollow Knight.

It is interesting how Nightmare essence is such a contrast from normal essence that seals made from nightmare essence are a deep scarlet.

my brain kept thinking "the animal?" every time seal was said because I am such a fan of those creatures. 6:15 at the very top of the path of pain seal it looks like a door, and then below it, a keyhole (or representative of a lock), not sure if it was 100% intentional but it would be a cool extra detail ! I am going to be assigning so many interpretations to these

This was an awesome video! Seals have always interested me in Hollow Knight so thank you for covering them!

[@ShadowSkryba]

Makes me think about the mention of the Weavers in the Teacher's Archives. Maybe Vessels/the Hollow Knight a have Seal inside them, too? Or was it just that the Pale King asked for their help in researching the Seals for his plan?

[@Min0rSet]

Interesting how weavers' seal is nearly identical to the seal of binding. What were they trying to protect?

[@galaxy-eyesgarchomp9478]

Most likely knowledge, given how the weavers seem to be more on the secretive side.

Great video!

[@FiveEyedFaerie]

i think it is an interesting, and likely true take! your next lore video should be about where the weavers originate from (if you haven't already)!

[@lifebloodcore2106]

I think the Weavers are from Pharloom. I’m not sure there’s enough to go on to make a video about that now, but of course there will be when Silksong comes out!

Now talk about the lore of sea lions in Hollow Knight! (joke)

[@lifebloodcore2106]

Neither the sea nor lions make any appearance in the game

Brooo how can hornet help u when u beat the hollow knight pls reply

[@lifebloodcore2106]

Hornet says that she can withstand to be inside the Black Egg for a short period of time. She presumably watches from a distance, and then once the Knight has weakened the Hollow Knight enough, Hornet is able to use her silk to temporarily restrain thk so that the Knight can use the dream nail and enter the fight with the Radiance
