What Happened to the Broken Vessel? - Hollow Knight Lore

[@ruffled2842]

Due to being propped and his body being mostly intact. He had a nail fight with hornet and well… got destroyed and she probably felt bad and set him on that laying position that he is when the body os found. Or a different bug that wields a nail did so.

[@TeamKyroCanAnimateFR]

considering how far up hornet is i feel like she would sense the void and just book it out of there, the deepest we've seen hornet go is the kingdoms edge, and there's no evidence to suggest that besides the fact that the vessel in greenpath is also propped up like this.

[@NoName-oz3gj]

I considered him escaping the abyss and getting lost and confused, looking for the Pale King and Hollow Knight. Since he couldn't cross the massive spike pit on the right, He went down the Mawlurk path and got seriously injured, and decided to rest but was too weak to ever get up. I think his shade stayed in the body, Too scared to leave it thinking the Pale King would return with the Monarch Wings near. That's why when you first find it, Broken Vessel's eyes are black with void, but after his defeat, They're clear with nothing behind it

[@Kio_lotus]

No he becomes a spirit

[@CyanicCore]

I like most of these ideas, but don't forget that ultimately, Vessels are still essentially bugs. The infectious presence in the area does well in foreshadowing the gameplay, but (as another pitched) even a falling rock could have done serious damage.

[@lifebloodcore2106]

That’s very true. Falling stalactites do actually damage the Knight in-game, after all.

[@Generalmacka]

i like to imagine that the broken vessel escaped the abyss and was wandering around the basin, when a mawlek snuck up on him while he was walking, jumped up and gave his head one big chomp, dropping the corpse and leaving.

[@gameingtothemax6266]

a mawlek or just a stalactite falling on them.

[@Altaku84]

My theory is that the pale king initially took the broken vessel out to be a test to contain the radiance. it failed, and he was abandoned. after all, its the only vessel we see in the ancient basin, and not in deepnest (the possible other exit to the abyss) or in greenpath (where hornet guards). hornet never implies any other vessel passing her test.

Hornet has been seen cracking into skulls; so she probably killed it like she kills (or tries to kill) all the other Vessels.

[@BreaksBee]

i'm guessing because we never see any void attacks or shade inside that is what got out from the top so maybe someone took his shade/void but kept his "soul" [unwillingly] in the corpse because its the only vessel with a ghost

[@MarmuDestroyerOfWorlds]

My theory is that he served the king, as he is slightly bigger than the average vessel, based off mossbags theory on why hollow knight is bigger, this could work out.

[@chrysiewright4292]

The kin seems so hopeful but the damage was done Glory For The Fate Of Hollownest🙏

[@bentleydurden1679]

Hornet probably got him when he came back due to the hallow knights call she did kill the other one that came there when you get the dash she is defeating a vessel

[@aydenrozzelle7691]

Its head likely exploded due to the infection breaking through his skull.

[@ghsvideosreviews5499]

I read a theory that the broken vessel is the same as esmy , that sly talks about, the vessel uses the slash dash nail art , he is also grown , maybe the training had a part on it , and as the vessel went futher down he got injuried and perished in the ancient basin . Therefore the lost kin , can mean something else.

He’s the reason Brooding Mawlek is alone and brooding. He broke his friend. XD

@@GlyphidGuard My frame rate is basically a PowerPoint presentation so that might have something to do with it if I’m being honest, and I accidentally found the mantis lords as the 4th boss and didn’t read the “challenge” text so I just thought they were going to be passive or something 😬 It took maybe 3-4 tries, idk I think I’m just bad at this game

@@GlyphidGuard Useful tips though, I should play through HK again

[@AlexanderFinchester]

I have a theory of my own what of the broken vessel did get it's head broken but managed to live like many have stated it's hunched over what if it was just sleeping we see thay when the knight sits on a bench for a while it goes to sleep what if he did the same and we led the seed right to them which is why when they die they reach out to you

[@artm04]

It's been a year but after completing the game and listening to your theory I remembered the birthplace scene. There were lots of vessels who have fallen down while trying to jump up and save themselves. The fall could easily crack the shell, but vessels don't feel pain thanks to void. It has failed just as The Knight, and it managed to escape after The Hollow Knight was chosen. They were likely to find a way to find a way to the king who was standing above the abyss pit earlier. But even this vessel was proven to be impure and was consumed by infection. It could easily have been the second replacement for HK if it hadn't been stuck in Ancient Basin.

[@starkiller2418]

"vessel don't feel pain thanks to the void" i think vessel Can feel pain just watch the animation of the knight when they have one Mask left

My question is WHY IS THERE A GHOST

[@GlyphidGuard]

About his death He could got killed from behind or from mawlek bite or infected balloon

[@samuelrubottom2134]

I believe that the broken vessel was actually a impure vessel, like the hollow knight so that’s why It got infected in the first place

[@BedoKGun]

One wrong info; any mask made by mask maker is symetric. so the vessel must have 4 horns instead of 3.

[@gamingcookiereal]

you can see on the ghost after defeating lost kin they have 3 horns, idk what mask maker has to do with this tho

[@Grubbergrubling]

the mask maker didn't make their shells.
