Ghost when Myla isn't infected after beating hollow: **happy vessel noises and starts dancing**

My idea of saving Myla is just never talking to her. Shcrodinger's Myla. She isn't infected if you don't observe her being infected.

I love how HK players seem to have universally decided that rapidly going back and forth is the Knight's cute little happy dance.

I recently replayed my save remembering nothing. Went to peaks and went: oh! A miner enemy.... then i heard her yell after striking her down... i realized: oh no what have i done... YOU WERE MYLA

I like how you get AN ACHIEVEMENT for leaving Zote to be eaten by the vengefly

Correction about saving Myla, it can't actually be done. The song she is singing is the Radiance's song of victory, and she is already under the Radiance's influence when you first meet her, though not enough for her to be hostile to you EDIT: So you technically can save her if you get Dream no More or Godmaster endings, as Team Cherry apparently stated that the bugs with minor infections do not die after the infection is destroyed.

i love how you teach how to save every character except zote, you just teach us how to kill him

Poor Myla. I think Team Cherry erred in not including any way of canonically saving her for certain, because she's possibly the sweetest little bug in the entire game. 'course, you can technically save her just by not killing her even after she's corrupted until you get the 'Dream No More' ending and slay the Radiance, freeing all the bugs corrupted by its influence, but you never get to see this, and she's only saved by implication.

I don't know what's worse. That I saved Zote, or that I actually thought he was serious every time I met him until I tried one of the fool's trials. I deadass thought he was a hunter on a bad day, and that he was just an asshole because he couldn't admit he needed help back there 😭😭😭

There’s another way to save Myla… and it’s defeating Pantheon of Hallownest, and destroying the Absolute Radiance

"You should save him to the Vengefly King" No, I don't think I will.

I love how he just explains one of the most difficult speedrunning discoveries like it's just basics of the game

I do kind of like cloths end from a narrative perspective. It’s bittersweet and hits you in the feels. But at the same time. All future play through of mine will end with her alive because I can’t take it again

Myla was one of my favourite NPC's of all time. She might not say or do much. But she is just one of those memorable characters

Cloth: Yay! a warrior lives another day! Myla: You have no emotion if you let Myla die >:( Zote: *Chewing noises*

I feel bad for Zote. To me he is a character who desperately wanted to become a valiente and heroic person. He tried his hardest to become that hero by putting himself through rigorous training and taking on dangerous enemies. In the end he was unable to change. It’s sort of sad really….

I prefer to leave Zote struggling in Deepnest. He will stay there forever if you don't save him. So far he has been there for three months already uwu

There is another conclusion to Zote's story, it ends with him being trapped in one of the coliseum cages. I think it involves saving him in greenpath and talking to him in the city of tears and deepnest

I saved Zote from everything my first playthrough. My second time i left him to die to the Vengefly King and spent a good five minutes playing keepy-uppy with his skull XD

I think I realized why we can save Sly but not Myla, because rescuing Sly opens up his shop, a shop with items the Knight needs, while saving Myla would do nothing.

I'm so sorry Myla, I just wish I could hear your singing again. Hear the crumble of rock beneath you pickaxe as you swing it. The beam of your hardhat flashlight will always shine in my heart. It would always give light to what would be a cold dark heart without you. You would always glance back as I came through your tunnel. I became busier and busier, your smile would give me strength for wield my nail. No matter how many times I passed by you, you sung. I could see the sparkle and crack of each rock being split, every rock you kick, every pile you would carry away. When you left it felt like someone carried you away. You were more than a diamond in the rough, you were the reason why these mines would glow I mean it. I cry every night hoping someday I'll see you again.

I hated the Traitor Lord enough, for how a broken enemy it was , and how hard to defeat. But i was not ready to have Cloth diying in the face off D,:

correction , you dont need shade cloak for the queens garden (1:25) you only need ismas tear. theres a part of fog canyon that has a pit of acid , swimming through it takes you to the queens gardens

A few things about the myla route: broken vessel shade skip can be done without longnail/MoP, and a nail upgrade can be used instead of an extra mask, itll be quicker to get. Glowing womb can be used as well, but that takes longer to get as well. Also the recently discovered stallball tech can be used in place of the shade skip. Unless you're doing some REALLY difficult skips, you do have to kill dung defender to get ismas. The spike tunnel in the broken elevator shaft also does not require dash master or shade cloak. Dash master makes it easier but I dont know why shade cloak was mentioned. With dash master its dash > pogo > dash, without its dash > fireball > pogo > dash. Hope everyone saves myla at least once in their hollow knight journeys!

If you beat Grey Prince Zote, you'll have to fight him in the Pantheon of Hallownest. This is Team Cherry's way of letting is know that saving Zote is discouraged.

Fun fact, Myla has special dreamnail dialogue after she is infected and trying to kill the knight

my second playthrough I left zote in the deepnest 🥰🥰🥰 best decision ever

I kinda have an issue with "saving cloth" its clear that she wanted death, she wanted to die honorably and now she can go back to her partner who has long since died, but by "saving" her, you deny her what she wished for and she expresses sadness

dude you have MAD down-slash skills. Thanks for the info. RIP Myla

I like how the last segment is telling us how to NOT save Zote.

Cloth: Ensuring a Warrior’s Survival Myla: Necessary…? Sacrifices Zote: Ignore him to Save Yourself

When she died on the first game, I cried and swore I'd revenge her, even if I needed to kill every single one of them. (Also promised to make a 3d printing of her)

Myla got infected in my playthrough of hk, but I refused to kill her

aww i was hoping there was a story way to save Myla ):

People explaining how to save them buddies in the most convoluted way ever meanwhile i couldn't even figure out were to go after the first 2 or 3 bosses or so😂

i mean, if you get the awakened dream nail, and the voidheart, you can banish the radience to the void, ending the infection, freeing all thos infected bugs, including myla

5:58 - "Bury the knight with her broken nail" Me: "Oh the Knight is girl, thanks for the knowledge"

5:04 or you could just.... you know... pogo off the only double jump check in the entire watchers tower

Myla sounds so pure😢

I kinda wish we could save her in actuality rather than taking advantage of awkward game progression and skips to do so, but from a game design perspective it’s probably better this way since it adds more weight among other things to myla.

some will save cloth, but allowing her to die is what she would truly want. the honour to fight along side such an energetic soul while also being able to witness and be there for their final moments is a true friendship. rest in peace cloth...

Easy way to save Myla: don't kill her EVER after she's infected, then get the dream no more ending or the pantheon ending, lore-wise she is now saved

I beat Traitor Lord earlier today and ngl nearly cried when she died

9:01 doctors: dreams have meanings my dreams:

Love this vid! The editing is excellent and comedic 💜

When attempting to banish the Grim troup then abandoned it at last moment. That music guy disperses. I couldn't find him anywhere.

1. Cloth. Both choices are good. You can give her honorable death and consume her dreams, leaving her in peace or let her live and find another adventure 2. Myla. Take radiance to the void, plague will dissapear. But if i remember correctly, these crystals driving miners insane, so she's doomed anyway 3. Zoth. Whatever you do he will die eventually lmao. He is really lucky to not die from literally any creature down below, his maximum is these little gray/white bugs in pathways. Im really surprised he wasn't killed instantly in deepnest

Like how subtitles calls zoth a prince soap

I did some testing in an attempt to have neither The Dreamers + THK nor Myla killed... And it's possible, but you have to compromise on getting her infected by defeating Soul Master, as you need to kill him for Pantheon unlocking and Desolate Dive/Descending Dark are required to go to Junkpit on the first place. So yeah, you got to commit boss genocide for the sake of Embrancing the Void, and in order to obtain Voidheart you'll also need to complete White Palace... Without Crystal Heart (as it fully infects Myla, which may as well be permanent). Passing the last buzzsaw squeeze is such a hard ordeal that I had no choice but to slow the game's internal clock (using Cheat Engine). Otherwise still doable, but good luck doing it. You also need to use the float glitch in order to pass the thorn hallway (more of a cerimonial "red carpet walk" if you have Crystal Heart) just before the throne, and do do that you need to access the Pale King's Workshop; That way you can use the Workshops's (rather non-Euclidian layout-oriented) left side exit to perform the Glitch (you need room transitions to do so). Oh, did I mention that you also have to skip Dung Defender post-fight room usage in order to get Isma's Tear (as it requires Crystal Heart to speed through the thorn squeeze)? And Isma's Tear itself is absolutely necessary as it is the only way to get the Love Key and thus fight and defeat The Collector. This skip requires Monarch's Wing and is easier before you collect Shadow Cloak. Thing is, the Shadow Cloak itself makes the Monarch Wings Crystal Dash skip easier (you can then get Sharp Shadow to extend your Dash distance), plus you need to fight Hornet Sentinel anyways and skipping Monarch Wing usage for reaching her it easy enough, so you may be tempted to get Shadow Cloak before Isma's Tear. Don't do it. I had to slow down the game time because skipping Isma's Tear Crystal Heart usage after collecting Shadow Cloak is excruciatingly hard.

I assume myla will be fine once you kill the radiance, I dont think the infection can exist without it

This just comes to show how much of "OUT OF THE WAY" we (players) go, for good characters XD

Just noticed when cloth hit the final hit on traitor lord its head cracked a bit, just a little detail I noticed

1:24 you need the shade cloak to fight the boss but you can use isma's tear to enter the garden. 2:51 lol. The carnival shocked face. 4:22 you don't need to beat the soul master to get the crystal heart. So long as you buy a lantern. 4:35 actually I think you can do a legit low % run since the dreamers don't require the crystal heart. Just isma's tear. 4:54 it doesn't look like 6 masks are required. Since you don't need to bounce twice on shade. 5:14 do you? You can use a simple key to beat the dung defender then leave and enter from the east side of the waterways. 8:40 for those wondering: failing to save him from DeepNest doesn't kill him. 9:04 lol having every follower.

Cloth was like: Should've gone for the head

How to save your friends: Never talk to them.

Cloth never died form me I defeated the traitor lord on my own

I dream nailed ghost cloth so that he'll be with me forever.

I didn't know Myla could be saved! If only there was a way to save the dreamers. I wanna give Hornet her mother back. I wanna have Monomon restore Quirrel's memories. Lurien, hm, might be someone Lemm could get along with.

This video is so well made, I actually restarted Hollow knight again just to see I could get a different ending to save Myla

There's only 1 true ending, save Myla, kill Zote.

That feeling when Myla is ur oc's name... TwT"

Didn't know you could say Myla, that's awesome

the ending is full of sound, the laughter, zote voice....

I like how you just made fun of Zote

“You need the shade cloak to access the Queen’s gardens” What have I done!? I’ve broken the space time continuum!

what if you let mylo to be infected, just simply don't kill her, defeat the final boss and return to her. Wouldn't she be alright? You have destroyed the source of the madness she must become ok

I got an add as he said ‘you got to die here’ and then as soon as the spike hit him the add came

This video is an amazing experience. Thanks.

Cloth - Didn't know you could deny her final stand Myla - So avoid the problem? I think she doesn't aggro if you never talk to her anyway Zote - Leave him to his death? Nah, man. I'd rather save him and beat his dream self over and over. Plus, unironically, his theme is the best boss music in the whole game... and most games. Seriously, Truth, Beauty and Hatred is that good.

Aw. I'm glad to know that you can save Mayla. Sad that it's so difficult tho. :\

I just reached Cloth's death last night, and it almost made me cry :(

Really helpful video ! I've found all i wanted to know 👍

You dont need shade cloak to get into queens gardens

Myla is the proof that speedruners can save "humanity".

Me who learned how to speed one adjust to save Myra

I love that you use the proper title for zote XD

I actually got an ad for Hollow Knight when I first saw this vid.

I miss Myla...

So to "save Myla" you have to do a complex (likely unintended) skip, avoiding an important key item, like your some kinda speedrunner? Something tells me that doesn't really count as saving her

Rip to these legends

embrace the void ending kills the radiance so she's good

What if Mila never got infected in the first place? Instead she just got suspicious on the knight because he wanted to to steal all of her crystals after she finishes mining them, so myla put some contact lenses to look like the infected miners in order to scare off the knight, which sadly lead to her demise, this confirms that our little knight is in fact, not as kind hearted as team cherry wanted us to think it is.

i decided to plat hollow knight in a new save file and the first thing i wanted to make sure i do is not save zote so i can sit on the bench in peace

I had a random thought in the deepnest. Went all the way from springs just to put her out her misery.

The methods to save Myla has some interesting implications lore-wise; namely that Soul Master and the Crystal Heart are hindering the spread of Radiance. By being clever enough to utilize one's own death shade and exceptionally skilled with quick reflexes, The Knight can ensure these barriers remain in place, preventing not just Myla, but likely other bugs from being infected by Radiance. Meaning more lives saved overall in addition to Myla and her beautiful singing voice. Also, the fact that we can't really "save" Zote, just open others eyes to his bs or let the braggard die, is very funny and appropriate since you can't "save" people from their own stupidity, just point it out to others or let them suffer the consequences.

My dude as a asmr voice

I swear Myla is the purest and most adorable little bug in the world. The scream that she makes when you kill her is SOUL CRUSHING. SHE WAS SO INNOCENT.

Shame that Myla doesn't say or do anything else after saving her from her fate. Would've been a nice easter egg if she showed up in Dirtmouth at the end, like Cloth. Except Zote. He's a douche.

Eas this channel specifically dedicated to save this one bug we see on the occasion.

I fondly remember playing catch the Zote in the coliseum

We feel sad when they die... Meanwhile the knight: *stares like nothing happened*

So I guess I saved cloth without realising

aw man why you drop this the exact day cloth died for me and now i feel bad

incroyable bien joué !

50hrs later. Only a small price to pay in the grand council.

To save Myla just do these... Me: Well I guess I'm killing her myself.

I had no idea you could save cloth. This is amazing news

just do speedrun skips and myla won't die

R.I.P zote the mighty

so either you let him live OR YOU LEAVE HIM TO BE EATEN ALIVE
