Opinions on hollow knight so far:

Gorgeous game! I am very bad at it

[cryptidofthecove]

FALSE KNIGHT DOWN!!!!

[cryptidofthecove]

I spent 950 geo just so someone could jumpscare me and then tell me I didn’t have any regrets. Thanks hollow knight

[cryptidofthecove]

Got into queens station! Unfortunately I cannot get out of queens station.

[cryptidofthecove]

Save a guys life and all he does is say fuck you i could have saved myself. And then later lie? About slaying the monster that almost killed him?? To the person who actually slayed the monster???

[cryptidofthecove]

I HAVE DEFEATED HORNET!!!

and then the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future showed up to yell at me??? Rude?

[cryptidofthecove]

The fact that the first person I met in the fungal wastes was named LEG EATER probably bodes badly for the experience I will be having but ah well. We continue onwards.

[cryptidofthecove]

YOU CAN HIT THINGS BELOW AND ABOVE YOU???

[cryptidofthecove]

Shoutout to the mantis claw. I can get to so many places now!

Also shoutout to Nailmaster Mato, my new dad, who met me, fought me, and immediately adopted me. 10/10 parenting skills, he will absolutely be getting a Father’s Day card.

[cryptidofthecove]

Finally defeated the brooding mawlek!

And then I immediately got jumpscared by? Other people? In MY hot spring??

[cryptidofthecove]

“Through its sacrifice hollowness reigns eternal” I don’t know how to tell you this but it clearly fucking didn’t

[cryptidofthecove]

Soul sanctum is FUCKED!!!!

[cryptidofthecove]

I HAVE DEFEATED THE MANTIS LORDS!

They let me pass and who do I find there? In the area only accessible by defeating them in combat? CORNIFER. THATS WHO.

Fascinated by this. I need a hollow knight spinoff where you just play as Cornifer speedrunning the game in order to discover and map out all the areas before the player can get there. I need to know his secrets.

[cryptidofthecove]

SOUL MASTER DOW- why are there so many corpses.

[cryptidofthecove]

my genuine thoughts on dung defender: why are we fighting. Why are we fighting in this literal shithole

But I was able to defeat them on my second try so! Yay!

[cryptidofthecove]

Thoughts on the dream nail: oh yay! So much lore! How fun- WHY DO I HAVE TO FIGHT THE FALSE KNIGHT AGAIN BUT HARDER

[cryptidofthecove]

MYLA NOOO

[cryptidofthecove]

My gameplay since last post, summarized:

what do you Mean I have to fight a guy just to sit on this bench?

Ooh, long dash. This’ll be useful in so many places.

WHY IS THIS GRUB SO HARD TO GET

MYLA NOOOO!!!!

she’s still singing in her thoughts :,(

Mato? You moved and became a painter? Oh nevermind this is his brother. New uncle I guess?

BROKEN VESSEL FOUND

BROKEN VESSEL DOWN

Ooh yay double jump!

I am now the grubfriend, friend of grubs.

… WHO THE FUCK INFECTED MY CROSSROADS?

[cryptidofthecove]

Oh thank goodness I didn’t actually kill dung defender. I was right! He was a chill guy! I like him :D

Also honourable shoutout to Isma’s tear I can think of at least 5 areas that i will now be able to explore

[cryptidofthecove]

I hit a dead bug and accidentally summoned the theater kids???

[cryptidofthecove]

HORNET DOWN (again)

I’m the king now? Apparently??

Also I met Matos OTHER brother (how many brothers does he have?

And Sly is a nailmaster???

[cryptidofthecove]

why do i have so many dead siblings.

[cryptidofthecove]

TROUPE LEADER GRIMM DOWN

Shoutout to form of Unn it was so helpful holy shit

… our child?? Passionate dance???

… did I accidentally end up dating troupe leader Grimm?? Has this ritual just been. A weird fucking date????

Also hive knight down!!!!

[cryptidofthecove]

Finally defeated the traitor lord :D

Cloth died??!! D:

In my grief I took a trip to deepest. Unfortunately my sorrow was cut short by the discovery of a Corpse Creeper But Worse

I did beat the Nosk on my first try though so! I think I am getting better at this game!

[cryptidofthecove]

COLLECTOR DOWN!!!

if I had a nickel for every antagonist named “The Collector” I would have three nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened thrice, right?

Finally went to check out Tiso’s fight club and I was able to beat the first two trials!

[cryptidofthecove]

Took a break from trying to beat trial of the fool to free the rest of the grubs. Went back to dirtmouth and. ZOTE??? THE MIGHTY???

[cryptidofthecove]

Good news: I beat up the watcher knights and grey prince Zote, and finally awakened my dream nail!

Bad news: SAWBLADES.

[cryptidofthecove]

Took a break from the white palace for a while to do the considerably easier task of beating up the flukemarm, failed champion, lost kin and soul tyrant.

[cryptidofthecove]

BUG YURI AND BUG YAOI??? (Aka finally succeeded at the grey mourners quest AND the nailsmith and sheo are dating?!) heck yeah.

In less important news I defeated the pantheon of the master.

[cryptidofthecove]

Path of pai- ARE YOU IMPLYING THAT THE REST OF THIS SHIT ISN’T PAINFUL?

I don’t think I can deal with worse honestly

[cryptidofthecove]

… why is it easier to defeat like ten bosses in a row than it is to beat one (1) Nightmare King Grim?? Unfair honestly.

Aka. Painter pantheon down! (Nightmare King Grimm Not Down unfortunately)

[cryptidofthecove]

I AM NOW THE KEENEST AND TRUEST OF HUNTERS. ALL BUGS SHALL FEAR MY WRATH.

[cryptidofthecove]

FINALLY MADE IT THROUGH THE FUCKING WHITE PALACE!!!!

[cryptidofthecove]

i was SO CLOSE to finally beating pantheon of the sage but sly killed me :(

[cryptidofthecove]

PANTHEON OF THE SAGE (Finally) DONE!!!

And there’s. Another pantheon?

Welp! I guess I can put off finishing the game a little more!

[cryptidofthecove]

So. I finally got around to killing Lurien (the last dreamer) and. I went to check out black egg temple- (not to actually fight the hollow knight yet to be clear, I am still putting that off) and. I have 109% completion?? I haven’t even finished the game! How am I over 100% complete?!!!

[cryptidofthecove]

TRIAL OF THE FOOL (finally!) COMPLETE!!!

Did it take forever? Yes. Was the part with no floor terrible? Yes. Did I need the money? Absolutely not! Did it give me anything I actually needed outside of an achievement and 1% completion? No!!!

But I can now say. I am… a fool.

[cryptidofthecove]

NIGHTMARE KING GRIMM DOWN!!!!!!

now all I have to do is finish the pantheon of the knight and I can finally get to completing the game!

[cryptidofthecove]

PURE VESSEL DEFEATED!

Now i just need to beat them in the pantheon of the knight and i can get to finishing the game!!

[cryptidofthecove]

PANTHEON OF THE KNIGHT COMPLETE!!!!

And there is! Another pantheon!

I suppose I can put off finishing the game just a bit more…

[cryptidofthecove]

Pantheon 5 second try: got all the way to (winged!) nosk this time! And by fighting them in hall of gods I can conclude that i would have been able to beat them if I hadn’t swapped my regular set of charms out at the previous bench in anticipation of fighting grey prince zote >:(

But ah well

[cryptidofthecove]

Beat up 63 zotes and got a title screen out of it!

Still haven’t beat 5th pantheon though :(

[cryptidofthecove]

Okay. So. I am continuously failing to beat pantheon 5.

Should I:

Keep trying! You’ll beat it eventually :D

Skip and move on to fighting the hollow knight. It’s completely fine

I try not to fall into the "I never liked their work anyway" ditch when an artist/creator reveals themself to be a terrible person

BUT

a feeling I do have and will stand by is "While I enjoyed their work overall I did have some gripes that I overlooked out of affection and whimsy, but now that my loyalty is gone and my affection tainted there is nothing holding me back from enumerating my many grievances, to which the revelations of the creator's shittiness may or may not provide a new and infuriating context."

[beatrice-otter]

#such a good summation of this actually#because yeah there’s usually things that were always present#but which were easy to overlook or give the benefit of the doubt#that suddenly become relevant after a revelation about the creator#and it’s really not the same thing as the self-defensive “’I never liked it anyway’

Took a break from the white palace for a while to do the considerably easier task of beating up the flukemarm, failed champion, lost kin and soul tyrant.

[cryptidofthecove]

BUG YURI AND BUG YAOI??? (Aka finally succeeded at the grey mourners quest AND the nailsmith and sheo are dating?!) heck yeah.

In less important news I defeated the pantheon of the master.

[cryptidofthecove]

Path of pai- ARE YOU IMPLYING THAT THE REST OF THIS SHIT ISN’T PAINFUL?

I don’t think I can deal with worse honestly

[cryptidofthecove]

… why is it easier to defeat like ten bosses in a row than it is to beat one (1) Nightmare King Grim?? Unfair honestly.

Aka. Painter pantheon down! (Nightmare King Grimm Not Down unfortunately)

[cryptidofthecove]

I AM NOW THE KEENEST AND TRUEST OF HUNTERS. ALL BUGS SHALL FEAR MY WRATH.

[cryptidofthecove]

FINALLY MADE IT THROUGH THE FUCKING WHITE PALACE!!!!

[cryptidofthecove]

i was SO CLOSE to finally beating pantheon of the sage but sly killed me :(

[cryptidofthecove]

PANTHEON OF THE SAGE (Finally) DONE!!!

And there’s. Another pantheon?

Welp! I guess I can put off finishing the game a little more!

[cryptidofthecove]

So. I finally got around to killing Lurien (the last dreamer) and. I went to check out black egg temple- (not to actually fight the hollow knight yet to be clear, I am still putting that off) and. I have 109% completion?? I haven’t even finished the game! How am I over 100% complete?!!!

[cryptidofthecove]

TRIAL OF THE FOOL (finally!) COMPLETE!!!

Did it take forever? Yes. Was the part with no floor terrible? Yes. Did I need the money? Absolutely not! Did it give me anything I actually needed outside of an achievement and 1% completion? No!!!

But I can now say. I am… a fool.

[cryptidofthecove]

NIGHTMARE KING GRIMM DOWN!!!!!!

now all I have to do is finish the pantheon of the knight and I can finally get to completing the game!

[cryptidofthecove]

PURE VESSEL DEFEATED!

Now i just need to beat them in the pantheon of the knight and i can get to finishing the game!!

[cryptidofthecove]

PANTHEON OF THE KNIGHT COMPLETE!!!!

And there is! Another pantheon!

I suppose I can put off finishing the game just a bit more…

[cryptidofthecove]

Opinions on hollow knight so far:

Gorgeous game! I am very bad at it

[cryptidofthecove]

FALSE KNIGHT DOWN!!!!

[cryptidofthecove]

I spent 950 geo just so someone could jumpscare me and then tell me I didn’t have any regrets. Thanks hollow knight

[cryptidofthecove]

Got into queens station! Unfortunately I cannot get out of queens station.

[cryptidofthecove]

Save a guys life and all he does is say fuck you i could have saved myself. And then later lie? About slaying the monster that almost killed him?? To the person who actually slayed the monster???

[cryptidofthecove]

I HAVE DEFEATED HORNET!!!

and then the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future showed up to yell at me??? Rude?

[cryptidofthecove]

The fact that the first person I met in the fungal wastes was named LEG EATER probably bodes badly for the experience I will be having but ah well. We continue onwards.

[cryptidofthecove]

YOU CAN HIT THINGS BELOW AND ABOVE YOU???

[cryptidofthecove]

Shoutout to the mantis claw. I can get to so many places now!

Also shoutout to Nailmaster Mato, my new dad, who met me, fought me, and immediately adopted me. 10/10 parenting skills, he will absolutely be getting a Father’s Day card.

[cryptidofthecove]

Finally defeated the brooding mawlek!

And then I immediately got jumpscared by? Other people? In MY hot spring??

[cryptidofthecove]

“Through its sacrifice hollowness reigns eternal” I don’t know how to tell you this but it clearly fucking didn’t

[cryptidofthecove]

MY FUCKING BANKER ROBBED ME AND LEFT? WHAT THE HELL MILLABELLE

[cryptidofthecove]

Soul sanctum is FUCKED!!!!

[cryptidofthecove]

I HAVE DEFEATED THE MANTIS LORDS!

They let me pass and who do I find there? In the area only accessible by defeating them in combat? CORNIFER. THATS WHO.

Fascinated by this. I need a hollow knight spinoff where you just play as Cornifer speedrunning the game in order to discover and map out all the areas before the player can get there. I need to know his secrets.

[cryptidofthecove]

SOUL MASTER DOW- why are there so many corpses.

[cryptidofthecove]

my genuine thoughts on dung defender: why are we fighting. Why are we fighting in this literal shithole

But I was able to defeat them on my second try so! Yay!

[cryptidofthecove]

Thoughts on the dream nail: oh yay! So much lore! How fun- WHY DO I HAVE TO FIGHT THE FALSE KNIGHT AGAIN BUT HARDER

[cryptidofthecove]

MYLA NOOO

[cryptidofthecove]

My gameplay since last post, summarized:

what do you Mean I have to fight a guy just to sit on this bench?

Ooh, long dash. This’ll be useful in so many places.

WHY IS THIS GRUB SO HARD TO GET

MYLA NOOOO!!!!

she’s still singing in her thoughts :,(

Mato? You moved and became a painter? Oh nevermind this is his brother. New uncle I guess?

BROKEN VESSEL FOUND

BROKEN VESSEL DOWN

Ooh yay double jump!

I am now the grubfriend, friend of grubs.

… WHO THE FUCK INFECTED MY CROSSROADS?

[cryptidofthecove]

Oh thank goodness I didn’t actually kill dung defender. I was right! He was a chill guy! I like him :D

Also honourable shoutout to Isma’s tear I can think of at least 5 areas that i will now be able to explore

[cryptidofthecove]

I hit a dead bug and accidentally summoned the theater kids???

[cryptidofthecove]

HORNET DOWN (again)

I’m the king now? Apparently??

Also I met Matos OTHER brother (how many brothers does he have?

And Sly is a nailmaster???

[cryptidofthecove]

why do i have so many dead siblings.

[cryptidofthecove]

TROUPE LEADER GRIMM DOWN

Shoutout to form of Unn it was so helpful holy shit

… our child?? Passionate dance???

… did I accidentally end up dating troupe leader Grimm?? Has this ritual just been. A weird fucking date????

Also hive knight down!!!!

[cryptidofthecove]

Finally defeated the traitor lord :D

Cloth died??!! D:

In my grief I took a trip to deepest. Unfortunately my sorrow was cut short by the discovery of a Corpse Creeper But Worse

I did beat the Nosk on my first try though so! I think I am getting better at this game!

[cryptidofthecove]

COLLECTOR DOWN!!!

if I had a nickel for every antagonist named “The Collector” I would have three nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened thrice, right?

Finally went to check out Tiso’s fight club and I was able to beat the first two trials!

[cryptidofthecove]

Took a break from trying to beat trial of the fool to free the rest of the grubs. Went back to dirtmouth and. ZOTE??? THE MIGHTY???

[cryptidofthecove]

Good news: I beat up the watcher knights and grey prince Zote, and finally awakened my dream nail!

Bad news: SAWBLADES.

[hiveswap]

Not attracted to that character i just want him to experience being scared for his life and panicking

[redtailfins]

when me and my sister were kids we invented an evil alternate version of David Attenborough we called “Dangerous Attenborough” and we would narrate over his documentaries to reframe everything as dark and sinister
