Mater-Peer.. Mother-Peer? Like peer to mother? Father? also could it be that the weavers (or the pale king) threw silk down, the void copied it and made it into a part of the vessels? Or that the Void makes more silk, given a template - or.. maybe the Void is able to make Hollow Vessels when given living substance - like an egg?

Quick question--doesn't the appearance of Hornet's face on the Sealed Siblings ending imply that she knows how to make the Seal of Binding? While she was trapped in the Black Egg with the Knight, the masks that had appeared on the original version of the Black Egg were of the Dreamers--who weren't in the Egg, and who we know were capable of forming the Seal of Binding. Shouldn't that suggest, then, that Hornet does have that knowledge? (I also had the idea that the Seal of Binding in Hornet's room was her practicing making one, but there's no substance behind that idea)

Well she could have been working out how to make one, and the knowledge may have allowed the seal to appear.. but it might be that the Pale King put void into the Black Egg - enough to give it the order to re-seal any who take in the Radiance like the "Pure" Vessel had done, as a precautionary measure.. or did so because the seals can wear down. Void-made "Spider" perhaps?

Fun fact i learned in deepnest when the knight dies twice it doesn’t generate a new shade the old one teleports to where you died and i guess looses its geo in the process this can be seen if you die with your shade onscreen

@@banann_ducc the shade disappears, not moves

She's pointing her needle at the Knight's cloak pls don't kill me ;-;

Well, she does wear a cloak regardless. But that's because of her caretakers the Weavers. They clearly just gave her tinier versions of their cloaks that oddly look like dresses.

No, shes clearly made of lifeblood

It could be an incomplete mothwing cloak that fully manifests after you get the ability.

I always thought that the mothwing cloak is under the knight's normal cloak

So what happens when you get the shade cloak? Does the cloak turn into a shade itself? How does it come with you when you dash through things? How do you even use the shade dash in steel soul? I have so many questions now

Yeah, he took it off another vessel, presumably the same stuff

@@EaterOfGeese The shade dash, like all the spell upgrades, is just the knight integrating its own void nature into its abilities. It's not a different cloak. If I had to guess, I'd say what we see is what we get, the knight covers himself (including the cloak) in Void for the duration of the dash, but still uses the cloaks ability to dash. As for "how do you even use shade dash in steel soul", there's really no reason why it shouldn't work the same. Just because you can't canonically die to see it doesn't mean that the knight isn't still made of void, and as such, a shade under his shell.

Cloak is just dirty when born and in black egg. (This is sarcasm.)

kindertuc Ugarte Well ruh roh

“Pale Prince” is usually used to describe a theoretical non-hollowed child of the Pale King and White Lady. The vessels are not actually Pale Beings due to most of their physical form having been destroyed and replaced by the Void. While it could be argued that replacing their original bodies with Void does not make them no longer Pale Beings, the living vessels do not give off any sort of light, which both the Pale King and White Lady do, and the Pale King himself mentions in the White Palace lore tablet that he has “no blazing kin,” which obviously means that Vessels lack what makes the Pale Beings so unique. I know this is a bit long to respond to something that was likely just a misconception, but I felt like the point needed some explanation. Also, Hornet isn’t a Pale Being because her mother is just a common bug, and that impurity makes her only 50% Pale Being, which apparently means that she has almost none of the traits of Pale Beings

I think the same thing, it just makes the most sense to me.

I mean you may not be wrong because the broken vessels cloak is also that color like THK

shes a bug and a god so yea nothing really weird

So true

I think of them as magic items. They help keep the void inside the vessel, but they're also clothing items.

I assumed it was their wings that they never used because we all know...bugs...can fly.

But i'm sure because the only way the vessels could fly is through the pale king since trees don't fly, but idk if (in the game) wyrms could fly.

@@hirahiro2331 the king has wings y’know. The monarch wings on the hallownest seal

yeah i mean its been a while with the same clothes

Ok gamer Sans Undertale

@@Edgeperor heck yeah

I think so too. Because it makes more sense for the Pure Vessel to be in white than greeny.

I think the seal of binding would stop that. It can stop any danger. Why wouldn't it stop a bunch of dirt or dust?

how could vessels evolve? they don't reproduce, right? if they don't reproduce, they can only have random mutations directly stemming from the combinations of the pale king and the white lady. the cloaks could still be wings which lost their functionality in the combination with the white lady (assuming the pale king has wings). but i don't think that's the case.

Dem the loner they don’t reproduce no.

pk was shown with wings perhaps the cloaks are wings that never had a chance to grow seeing as they died before they were born

@@demtheloner1266 Vessels don't reproduce, but they could be wings that didn't grow if you take into consideration they are born and killed pretty quickly before they are filled with void, so they wouldn't develop those wings

I think he meant most non-vessel bug cloaks are a result of wings that evolved to be smaller.

God give us SilkSong

They're like a piccatinni rail on a gun, they can attach all their enhancements on it, charms, spells, that sort of thing

might just be defective, or maybe the Knight's shade is strong enough to fully tear its way out.

Well the knight IS older than the other vessels and the Hollow Knight is even older and better nourished than any other. Remember that our knight came back from the outer lands in the intro meaning that it is stronger than the others. Maybe the shades in the abyss died youngbnd were not strong enough to rip through the cloak while our knight and the hollow knight in the "dream no more" ending were strong enough to rip through the shell and cloak

But...what about the rest?

SAME! because BV tends to hop WAY more than hornet and after defeating "him", you find wings that now connects with you.

Ah it seems someone beat me to it, I thought it was from the pale kings side to, though I still think it's from the pale kings side.

I was thinking that, but idk the logistics around soul usage. Like if she's uses too much soul does she die? Or what about the inconsistency that she supposedly uses soul to form her half of the Kingsoul charm, but supposedly the seal would stop her for focusing/growing, even though through this theory she can still use soul. I feel like this would be be the best answer, but too much missing information to solidify it as valid. The only way to prove this theory is if we can figure out: - How much soul the White Lade currently has - & how much soul (if any) is needed for her to grow in size.

@@Ccmaci I mean. Does Our Knight die when they run out of SOUL? nah, just can’t use spells/focus. it’s not unreasonable to.. speculate.. that... ah. I see the problem now.

@@Ccmaci The Kingsoul charm reads: "Holy charm symbolising a union between higher beings. The bearer will slowly absorb the limitless SOUL contained within." So, since the White Lady is a higher being, maybe she, too, has limitless amounts of SOUL? That would imply that... either her Focus ability isn't changing her size based on the amount of SOUL she has or uses, or that there's an additional seal on her to stop her from "growing" herself further than the growth we see just outside the egg. There's way too little information on the White Lady or her kind to make any conclusions... Maybe there'll be more in Silksong...?

Honestly I believe it could be the opposite, so she can't take in more soul thus she cannot grow but doesn't stop her from necessarily using soul. In this thought, the Kingsoul charm half is part of her as she used some of her own soul to grant to the knight. Just a thought

@@Ccmaci Well and now that you've edited said pinned comment since, we can't know your answer. Great :( It's probably better to answer the comment and edit the pinned comment or add something in the description ^^ Great video nonetheless

on the same theory, the hollow knight's seal reacts to outside forces interacting with it, while the White Lady's seal reacts only to soul magic. Could this maybe be a key to her power? Maybe she draws IN souls similar to our main character draws in soul from striking enemies. and therefore the seal is to prevent herself from obtaining any further soul from her surroundings, thus binding her from growing and reaching further outside her "egg"

We aren't given a time scale fir any if this so we have no clue of the natural size of vessels, it may he that they stay little babies for a long while before rapidly growing, a sort of uber-puberty Many bugs go through drastic metamorphosi that vastpy enlarge their physical size

@@clintelkins9630 The problem with that theory is that the Hollow knight and the main character are the same age. As seen in the one "Acend" event where we see the Hollow Knight get chosen and the main character falls back down into the abyss

@@-itsplasma-4135 & the fact Hornet knows where the Abyss is means she knows where the Ancient Basin is. You know originally I made that meme b/c I thought it was funny, but now it seems more real every day.

I have a theory that the broken vessel was a vessel initially chosen to become the hollow knight but had the infection placed in it to early/ it wasn't pure, explaining why it's so tall because it was raised by the pale king for an amount of time and why it is so riddled with infection. not a perfect theory but I like it.

@@bleddynwolf8463 Me too :)

idk if I'd consider the cloaks like dead hair, they do react with soul magic & (especially) the Monarch Wings.

@@Ccmaci Hair and fingernails don't actually keep growing after death either. That's a common misconception. The reason they appear to is because of the moisture leaving our bodies causing us to shrivel up which reveals more of our nails and hair that was once covered. And this really isn't important either because if the cloaks did keep growing after death all the dead vessels in Abyss would have similarly long cloaks.

@@Apotheosister *the screams of a very angry kirbo fandom can be heard in the background*

I mean, he did state he didn’t actually believe that hornet was void later in the video.

It doesn’t seem like the Pale King was killed by the void. It’s more like he left the realm and left behind a body for the void to invade.

- I tried to make the speculation sign look similar to in game signs, but I see what you're talking about, I'll make the text lore more clear. - I'm not exactly sure if I'm on the money either considering the Kingsoul half contradiction, though I think I at least got REALLY close (also Grimm isn't a higher being, he's a vessel for the Nightmare Heart; the Nightmare Heart is a higher being). Thank you again for enjoying the video & providing suggestions, I really appreciate it :D

Ccmaci I suppose you’re right. By my logic I suppose the Knight would be a Higher Being for uniting the Shade Lord (assuming that is indeed what the Void is). Appreciate the clarification-looking forward to your journey ahead!

oh boy this is goign to be long ..... you are quite close higher beings do have their own dream realms for radiance and nightmare heart its said that it was once united this probably can go for other realms too but they feel apart for unknown reasons? also im sure this said somewhere in game but higher beings are just called higher beings because they have immerse power abilities than normal bugs and pale king was only one to had rebirthing abilities because hes a wyrm and wyrms can shed their skin and thus he rebirthed to a mortal king to appeal for them more since mortals/moths couldnt see radiance they only saw her upper body as shining light or never saw her in general ( i know this is canon because not even godseeker can see her and puts her statue as just shining light and legs probably a bible referance as u phisycally cant see god), some are maybe immortal but i personally dont think so since radiance finnally got consumed by shadelord, pale king died for real since he died in his own realm and there are no signs of rebirth (i have a theory that he made a deal with void for a promise to destory radiance once and for all in exchange for his soul but thats not likely he most probably just got consumed), and grimm just dies with not completing the ritual and takes mightmare heart with him

most of the sources for this i just found on the Pure Vessel page on the wiki btw

Maybe the prices of the cloak that flew off come back to care the mask, explaining why that isn't there when you return, being able to do so possibly using soul as you still have half of your soul gadge when you die through some form of focus as a final wish. The reason your at a bench could be because they are usually located in safe places which give enough time for the body to heal before going back for it's shade.

Burglary

I definitely agree that focusing soul isn't just used for healing, after all, one of the lore tablets in King's Pass says the reader can do it, and I believe it was William, who told mossbag that Ellina _could_ read the tablet next to the Abyss, she just couldn't decipher what it _meant,_ this makes it likely that indeed anyone who entered Hallownest may have been able to do it, even if the tablets are admittedly hyping up everything about the kingdom and the king, so ya know, worship him. It's possible this has to do with the Pale King's beacon granting higher thought to the bugs of Hallownest, so if you're an outsider who enters his beacon, you will gain the ability to focus, which is either possible due to being sentient, or perhaps the gained ability to focus is what grants you sentience, either way it works. Additionally, to make you think of him as even greater, he hypes up your abilities, calling you a higher being, saying you possess great strength, and that by focusing soul you "shall achieve feats of which others can only dream", which is in line with the idea that focusing grants one higher though, although it should be necessary to have at least enough intelligence to actually read the tablet; anyhow, since it's him who granted you this amazing super special ability, he therefore seems even more god-like in comparison. About the Soul Sanctum scholars, while them mentioning a pure focus does mean they know focusing is a thing they can/could do and implies a link to the mind, the _pure_ focus they mention is probably impossible, as it was the Radiance who manipulated the Soul Master and thus the other scholars into taking in the soul of others. This means it's not far fetched to believe it was her who implanted that idea into their heads, especially if they thought it'd give them an immunity to the "plague of mind", because like, if it was her who convinced them into doing it, and they think having a ton of soul would make them immune to the infection, and they were right, it wouldn't have been the best idea to make them use soul in the first place. If anyone is unfamiliar or disagrees with the idea that it was the Radiance's idea that more soul would prevent infection, I can explain why it's likely she did, but it'd take a little while longer is all, so just ask I guess. Also when Pure Vessel focuses, it's unclear whether the death spheres it spawns stem from focusing itself or if it's actually using some spell as well as focusing, since it's probably not impossible to do that. Another thing is that although we don't know if PV actually heals or not, I'd say it probably does, since, like, why would the Knight be able to and not Pure Vessel? It's certainly useful to do so. As to why it doesn't heal in-game can really just be chalked up to the fact that there isn't a health bar, and also maybe so something like Old Nail only isn't invalidated or made into actual hell (considering they made bindings a thing, I think it's probable they knew people kept beating the game without upgrades). I also just remember how it only does the attack after it loses enough HP, which of course isn't unique for bosses, but indeed it would be a bit wasteful if it focused soul at full HP. Just to clarify, I know you didn't say PV didn't heal, but since I'm covering focusing I still wanted to make it clear that I do think it can. While I'm on this topic, I'll also mention an idea I had that maybe the reason the Knight is able to heal by focusing is because it takes the soul of other beings, and by focusing that stolen soul, it becomes it own, thus healing it, since soul is the thing that animates the bodies of living beings. Nailmaster Glory's descriptions says you focus your power to unleash Nail Arts, and the achievement for beating Pantheon 3 is called Focus as well. Keep in mind that the achievements for beating pantheons 1-4 are always in reference to the main god of the Pantheon (even for P5 as well, since you become the god of gods)... I don't know how to fit this into anything. The Whispering Roots in the Ancestral Mound mentions something called spiral focus in relation to the Snail Shamans... I also don't know what that means. My god, I just realized how long this turned out, it almost scares me. Edit: Oh yeah, also, the Knight along with likely all the other Vessels, can focus in the infection, as well as the Dreamers('s essence?) to destroy them. That's kind of a big one.

About Pure Vessel's whole existence, I do think this is what Pure Vessel looked like in the past, mainly due to this line: "Though its worldly body be bound and defiled, the glory of its pure form endures, [...]" and its description in the Hunter's Journal: "Chosen vessel, raised and trained to prime form." I believe the first confirms that's the Hollow Knight from before it got chained up in the Black Egg, because she says that while in the present it's imprisoned and "defiled" (corrupted by infection and is confirmed by the White Lady to have gotten weaker), its pure form _endures,_ meaning that despite its current state, this form _continues_ to exist, as if it did before. PV's description just lightly implies this is the actual form of the chosen Vessel, as it's being attributed to this version, and not THK, whose description only calls it a "fully grown" Vessel. Like, of course they are the same being, the Hollow Knight still was the chosen Vessel, but that distinction makes it seem like "raised and trained to prime form" applies more to Pure Vessel than the Hollow Knight, who is no longer in its prime. Now, it's not impossible her focus made Pure Vessel more powerful (though I don't consider it so, I'll explain later on), but I still think that's still how it probably looked like, for a few reasons. Actually, I think I forgot one of them... Uh, anyway, one is that prior to Pantheon 5, no Ascended variants of bosses are present in the pantheons, just dream forms, which may be similar, but the former requires the Godseeker's focus for the bosses to "ascend", and, as far as we know, none of the bosses are strengthened in this manner prior to the 5th pantheon, only Pure Vessel, who would be the sole exception, and of course we can't use itself as evidence that it is. Instead, I think Pure Vessel is just THK's dream form, akin to White Defender's which is a memory, and that it's just the Hollow Knight back when it was "the Pure Vessel", even if it wasn't actually pure. For why she thinks it's pure, yeah, she's probably just wrong, because like, why'd her focus make it hollow? That's kinda weird, I just went with that being a sorta surface level understanding of PV. Now this isn't all that related, but have you ever noticed how dream catcher particles are surprisingly uncommon in Godhome arenas? I believe the only ones that have them are the arenas for the Vengefly King, Failed Champion, Hornet Protector, Winged Nosk, White Defender, Sly and both versions of Grimm. Now, some are pretty strange choices (though I did come up with a few explanations as to why), but for Sly I do think the form we see is him back in his prime, when he wasn't as old, at least: "Holding it lets you run around quickly and tirelessly, as though you were young again! Or, erm, so I'm told." So I don't think his wings are different because of the Godseeker, but instead just because that's how they used to look, red signifying he's the Great Nailsage in the fight and not just the shopkeeper we meet, possibly since red is the other main color of the Nailmasters. Oh yeah, maybe I should've mentioned it earlier, but from what I've read you don't have to fight any of the dream bosses for them to show up in the pantheons, and possibly the Hall of Gods as well though I haven't tested (exception being you can Dream Nail Grimm's statue just fine after banishing the troupe, even if you never encounter NKG). Lastly, in the game's code, Pure Vessel is named "hk_prime". Of course this isn't an in-game source so it should be taken with some grains of salt, after all in the game's code, God Tamer and her beast are still called Lobster Lancer since those were their original names, buut I think it's worth bringing up nonetheless.

@@petruciosxd1374 Srry for the late reply, been a bit busy and just saw your comment today, I’ll try to answer all your points in order of each paragraph (and I’m glad you enjoyed the video :D) (typed this all in a google doc, so hopefully I separated every paragraph correctly when moving it here, srry if I didn't). - You’re right about the Black Egg and King’s Brand doors having seals, but the dreamers’ seals do not activate from soul magic. Just tested all of them in game, dreamers’ only become visible from movement & physical attacks. As for why the Hollow Knight’s seal becomes visible every once in a while, it might be because it is attempting to escape, so every time it attempts movement the seal reacts. - The reason why the seals on the Black Egg and Abyss door is b/c they both need a key of some kind to be opened (black egg needs dreamers killed, abyss needs king’s brand). Besides that, no idea. - By her silhouette in Godhome, the neck before her hair of roots is a match to her real world counterpart. If you layer both sprites on each other, you’d have to assume that is where the bindings would form. Now it is possible in the silhouette her bindings are glowing with her body, though that’s some pretty unfounded speculation, considering we never see the bindings glow ingame. - Yeye I agree here. - I’ll be answering this point on the Pale King’s beacon in a future video (not like directly tho, don’t worry I won’t put your comment in a video xD). - I agree with this too. - I agree here. - Even though we have to go off of in game code to determine if this focus attack is THK actually focusing, I’d say the fact THK enters a crouched stance similar to the Knight when it focuses, its most likely THK is just focusing to do this attack, not casting a spell at the same time (still up for debate tho). Though as for if that focus attack heals, I’d think it’d be pretty inconsiderate of Team Cherry to be like “yeah this focus attack heals THK” and at the same time not have his actual character heal. So again, most likely the focus attack does not heal THK. - Same reasoning on THK not healing (again, still up for debate), but Soul essence is not special to every bug. Soul is most likely a single essence that can be taken by anyone (Hot springs; Sly commenting on soul totems you hit to get soul out of). Think it’d be a bit too complicated to say a bug’s soul is special to them, and no one else can use it unless converted to their body’s soul. When the Knight focuses soul, it's most likely concentrating the extra soul within its body towards wounds, which is how it heals masks/health (best proof of this is Hot Springs, where when the Knight stands in it, it heals its body automatically, b/c its standing in some form of liquid soul. Making contact with the body, it makes sense it would begin healing every wound the Knight has. This is seen in Quirrel in Deepnest, where he says something around the lines of “this water makes my aching legs feel so much better”). - I don’t know how to fit that into anything either, unless you consider the statues you get for beating Pantheon bosses at regular, ascended, and radiant (pretty sure one of those talks about focus). - Dunno what a spiraling focus is, but probably has to do with their mastery of magic. Probably the reason why the Soul Scholars captured one of Snail Shaman’s siblings, to study such. Most likely the reason why the Knight can focus the infection is because it is similar to Soul. Dunno how or why the Knight gets soul from hitting infected husks, but if the knight can collect infected essence, it makes sense it can focus the infection. - “Though its worldly body be bound and defiled” can be counted by how the infection cracked THK’s shell & shade (as seen by the infection coming out of THK’s shade forehead in the Dream no More ending). This sadly doesn’t give solid enough evidence to point towards THK’s cloak color change. - As I stated in the video, THK was not pure, that is why it failed to contain the infection. So its possible PV is what a Pure version of THK could be, but we have no way to conclude this is what THK looked like in its assumed pure form. - You’re right this is most likely just its dream form, and as I stated in the video, there is the possibility both the Godseeker & the Pale King mistook PV for being pure, and this is what it actually looked like in the real world. But again, no way to definitively prove this sadly. But if we do want to entertain the thought, it is possible PV has this color of cloak b/c the Pale King pumped him with a bunch of soul. But when it entered the black egg, the infection took away this pure soul from THK and replaced it with infected soul. But hey, that’s just a theory, a game th- - You're probably right. This would support that PV is not a once existent version of THK, however this gets a big road block with Vengefly King & Winged Nosk. Winged Nosk represents its potential to become a doppelganger of Hornet, not that it had become Hornet in the past (though that is possible). And as for Vengefly King, well, pretty obvious why it having dream particles completely ruins this theory. - I said that Sly’s wing coloration was b/c of him being in his best form, though I should have probably mentioned that best form was probably when he was younger. Probably the reason you can face NKG is b/c he’s a dream boss. As for the warrior dreams, I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to face at least some of them to enter certain Pantheons (I know for sure you have to face Markoth to enter Pantheon 4) - Ye ur right on that being a consideration, but as you said, it is game code text, so can’t be definitive proof. Well that was a fun typing session xD This was a good conversation, again, I’m happy you enjoyed the video :D

Otters don't eat your clothing and infect entire bug kingdoms with dreams, so I with we both know the answer here.

Markoth could beat an otter in a fight! :P

@@Tyxaar Maybe, maybe
