I dont understand a single word any of the NPCs says
>>721009558he means your penis anon
>>721009713that cant be. My penis is enormous. Just ask your sister and mother
>>721009558Moths likes lamp (Lamp is a God)Once upon a time a dragon saw some bugs in the bugs in the ground and "Cool bugs! I will shrink myself, live with them, be their kind and fuck this hot worm thing i found"The dragon helps the bugs build a civilization The moths go "Wow! Dragon is so much cooler than lamp, lets worship the Dragon instead" and they all forget about lampLamp says "That's bullshit" and makes the remaining memories relating to him cause bugs to go insane and also spread like a diseases so he can live rent free in everyone's heads, it also becomes honey somehow Dragon's bug kingdom goes to shit, so he starts fucking his worm wife to created a billion of babies, hoping to make one who will be 100% devoid of no soul, mind and emotions. So it can eat all the evil lamp honey by himself without going insane. Kingdom already went to shit but it works, they lock the baby full of lamp honey in a vault, but it happens that the baby was not perfectly hollow, so it starts sipping honey fucking everything up again. So they need new/better baby (you) to do it again
>>721011908>Once upon a time a dragon saw some bugs in the ground and said "Cool bugs! I will shrink myself, live with them, be their kind and fuck this hot worm thing i found"I meant to say
>>721011908Thats fucking cool. How did you get to that when all of the dialog is pointlessly cryptic and purposefully obtuse. Why is the level with bees and honey a bonus one that you don't have to finish?
>>721009558Most of it doesn’t make sense until a second playthrough.
>>721009558Learn English, ESL.
>>721009558look at those funny little markings, we call them "words"
>>721012250 It's my second playthrough but I dont remember shit from the first one
>>721009558You seem to be missing context.
>>721012235It's called "reading comprehension" and the use of context clues. They usually teach it around the second or third grade in western countries.
>>721012816>I am a faggot hehe so condescending haha Cool. Point me to the context clues and text you read to stich all of that
>>721014041All of the dialogue in the game, retard.
>>721014685Ok. Thats even better. You wont have trouble showing me one talking about dragon becoming a bug
>>721014841Sorry, I don't hand feed brown retards, they tend to bite. Go play the video game and use your eyeballs to read the dialogue, and actually be good enough to beat the dlc's that have the bigger lore dumps in them including the dragon shit.
>>721015000hmmm you sound awfully defensive. Almost like you are full of shit but no way that could be right. Surely you can produce one dialog exhange or item description that you used to deduce something
>>721015236The pale king is a type of dragon known as a wyrm and his casted off shell is literally seen in the game. You didn't play the game so you wouldn't know this.
>>721015236>anon, please play this entire game for me and screenshot the wyrm shell and the dialogue that spans the entire game that reveals the lore because i'm literally retarded and don't know how to read. Do it in 20 minutes before this thread is archivedNo thanks.
>sigh...>...barfernarther
>>721015538I played it once 5 years ago but I dont remember a thing. Now I'm playing it again and so far every bit of plot related dialog was close to incomprehensible gibberish. >>721016016all I'm asking is a single line of dialogue that states anything plot related that isn't "dude there was a bug kingdom now its gone" . You dont need to play the game. Since you know what to look for, you can google what you need in 5 seconds. I'm not saying you are wrong. I'm saying that you are full of shit when you say that you understood everything just by playing the game.
Incredible lore
>>721016386i dont get it
>>721016178>bampanada
Is the only way to progress after mines to buy the glowing bug?
>>721012235By watching the mossbag video anon is pretending he hasn't seen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XDiWYFGGqY
>>721016960Ok I can hear the "nada" at the end b but she makes that p sound too much like an f.
whats with random corpses with nothing attached to them?
>>721021480they're for a bestiary you get later, so that you can get unkillable stuff added to it
I lost all my money :(
Played it for the first time a while ago and it absolutely was too much cryptic gibberish to get me interested in the lore
>>721021821you do eventually get a reward for putting enough money in. it's cumulative so you've already made progress
>>721011908How would sipping the honey fuck things up when the honey needs to be gone?
>>721024106even though this bait is going to get him good, it's mean.
>>721015538>The pale king is a type of dragon known as a wyrmI always thought he was just a big ass worm that they called a wyrm
>>721024583Wyrms are very worm like, hence the name. But he's an actual wyrm, not a big worm.
>>721024583the dragon shit is just heckin' oc headcanon. I hate HK fans so goddamn much (great games of course)
>>721024242Because if you're allergic to the honey you shit everywhere.
sex with the knight
>>721025206which one
>>721012650I actually unironically love that this game is this meme. It achieved the fromsoft translation to 2D at the peak of fromsoft at their peak. Doubled down on zanzibartianism and the design has really good execution on exploration. Instead of a gay U turn with maybe an e tank or a missle tank. Everywhere you go even if it's a dead end theres something new to see.
Help me. Doing the 2nd pantheon with all bindings was fun but I'm no longer having fun. I just want to go play Silksong but my autism requires I make the 3rd door shiny because I already made the other 2 shiny. If I can just make it shiny I am freed from this prison and I can do the bindings one by one on the 4th one because that's far from the other doors so it's okay if it's not shiny.
>>721012650Sam Winkler is known for writing Borderlands 3 and Wonderlands. You know. Games that are universally regarded as the most poorly-written and obnoxious scripts in the medium.
>>721025680cheat :3you don't get a reward from all bindings anyway
does the cradle have anything worth or am i doing this path of pain bullshit platforming section for no reason?
>>721025434>Instead of a gay U turn with maybe an e tank or a missle tankcare to explain?>>721012650Silksong literally has an NPC thay yells "ZANZIBART" when rushing into battle and i think it is a nod to this meme.
>>721026386you get a journal entry
>>721026216By cheating I would only cheat myself and I'm not brown.
>>721025680Came back to do them shiny too but i cant do radiant on all bosses so anything we really do is pointless.
>>721025861yeah but he also wrote that funny tweet.
>>721010914You fucked two dead corpses? Yeah you have a feminine dick then.
>>721012235They spell it out for you eventually. You're just too early in the game.
Why is every single screenshot of these games so soulless and monochrome and depressing?
>>721025861You're a fucking NPC nigger. He's still 100% correct.
>>721026695It's not funny, nor does it apply, thoughbeit.>>721027032/v/drone says what? You're barely sentient.
>>721012235The moment you see the Hollow Knight statue in City of Tears the entire story is made clear.
>>721024886precisely
>>721016265Not him, but you get tons of dialogue regarding all of this in Kingdom's Edge, talking to the White Lady, the full-on cutscene in the Void, the interactions with Hornet, talking to Seer, the NPCs you meet along the way to the Dreamers, the remaining residents of the City of Tears, and tons of tablets that lay things out explicitly. That's before you even get to Dream NailingYou barely played the game at all if you don't know anything about the story. Like you'd have to quit in the first quarter of the game where you're still meeting people and visiting locations for the first time.
Writing like this doesn’t really do much for me unless it’s voice acted. Shakespeare is only good when watched as a play.
>>721027032Lel I'm sure you can present actual evidence of this meme in this game, right?Hell even in dark souls this meme is a lie.
>>721012235>Thats fucking cool. How did you get to that when all of the dialog is pointlessly cryptic and purposefully obtuseHe played the game to completion. That's how Fromsoft style storytelling works. Cryptic at first, but obvious in retrospect.
>>721024583>>721015538It's literally just a bigass a worm. You can see the carcass and confirm that it is a worm, this anon is onto nothing with this dragon shit.
>>721027230The little bug-speak mumbles they do when talking are incredibly satisfying to hear.
>>721027316In from software you can open the inventory and read stuff. Here you have to remember cryptic bullshit that someone mentioned to you once 20 hours ago
MAH
>>721027119>The moment you see the Hollow Knight statue in City of Tears the entire story is made clear.How about you eat shit you fucking nigger. The only thing you can deduce is that some evil is hidden behind the door with 3 eggs and that maybe its this holow knight. Thats fucking it you disingenious retard. There's literally no context before that point aside from that one night giving two cryptic lines about the door
>>721016265>faced the Gendered Child? She's a fierce foe, strong in mind and body, striking reflection of her mother, though the two were permitted little time together.I never begrudged the Wyrm's dalliance as bargain. In fact, I feel some affection for the creature birthed. (Pale Lady)Here's one.
>>721027242>Hell even in dark souls this meme is a lie.NTA but here's a half minute lore video about a character with 0 voice lines who's only interaction with the player is fighting him thrice. The only information about him in his items is the word 'murderous" to describe him.
>>721027421>The devs, the ingame lore, the literal wyrm shell, the wyrm egg, they all back that the pale king was a wyrm and not a worm>retards disagreeThe only headcanon is illiterate mentally deficient retards thinking a game has no story because they're too retarded to figure it out and think that a wyrm is a worm. Getting butt raped by silksong really reduced you "gamers" to this, huh? Go finish last judge so you can finish the tutorial, i mean act 1.
>>721027989"Here's the Hollow Knight yada yada through his sacrifice Hallownest remains eternal" and Hornet also explains the role of the dreamers when you talk to here there, irrc. That's the bulk of the story.
so when did crossroads get corrupted and why? I didn't do anything that would unleash this
>>721028296>I didn't do anything that would unleash thisdid you just skip the cutscene after you got one of the dreamers or what
>>721012650At last, I understand why it's called a soulslike
>>721024886Sucks that the developers and the game itself disagree with you. Sorry you're so retarded and illiterate you need to "HEADCANON HEADCANON HECCIN OC CHUNGUS" post to make yourself feel better.
>>721028023who is gendered child? Girl in red? When do you meet Pale Lady?
>>721028296>yes i skip the cutscenes >yes i mash through dialogue>if nothing makes sense after that, it's the games faultInb4 "this but unironically"
>>721028441>Who is the Gendered Child? Girl in Red?Hornet yes. This is especially obvious since this only pops up after you fight her again.>When do you meet the Pale LadyWhy does this matter
>>721028348 the cutscene? Dreamers? The only cutscene I remember is when I found the Tear City and Hollow Knight statue.
>>721028698
>>721027230It must suck having zero imagination.
>>721028698I just checked and there wasn't custscene before that or after that I encountered.
>>721028296You defeated one of the dreamers, which weakened the seals of the black egg. More infection leaked out. Crossroads are right outside the black egg.
>>721028526No I dont skip cutscenes. No I don't mash through dialogue. Its just needlesly cryptic. Whether it makes sense or not is meaningless because the way the story is told is alienating and nobody sane would care. Nobody will screenshot and hyper-analyze every line, hoping to connect some invisible dots, and only mentally deranged people would play this twice for the story.
>>721028210Yes, the name of the creature is Wyrm, and his is what it's carcass look like. It's a worm.
>>721028998Anons, is it mentally deranged to have media literacy and the ability to pay attention to video games when you play them?
>>721028940Which one was the dreamer? Where? There wasn't a single enemy with the air of importance outside of the hornets sitting on the throne and challenging you. Backtracking is so exhausting and mind-numbing that at one point you just start going through the motions.
>>721029115What is a stylized artstyle?
>>721029169No, but pretending that you understood this cryptic shit by organically playing the game to make your seem media literate is genuinely pathetic. You do seem retarded though.
>>721029246That's supposed to be a dragon's carcass? Yea you totally got that by playing the game
>>721009558It's all pretty easy to understand as long as you don't expect to understand every part of the story at the start. By the point in the screenshot, all you know is:>Shit is fucked. It didn't used to be this fucked, but it's fucked now.>Aw man, it's hard getting places now that shit is fucked. I remember back when shit wasn't so fucked.>Hey you. Get out of here. Shit is fucked around here and I bet you're one of the assholes who fucked it up.These are all specific NPCs I'm thinking of.
>>721029378Pretending everyone is as retarded as you doesn't make you smarter. You should put this energy into actually increasing your gray matter instead of having a low iq meltie like the nigger you are LOL
