Lore - Hollow Knight Hallownest was a pretty advanced civilization Spoiler

Post image
133 Upvotes

Hallownest was a really advanced civilization if we look closely. Besides there are a few things of them that seem to be more medieval (like the fact that the city guardians use nails and spears to attack), there are other that show us that the pale king's empire had advanced technology. One of the most compelling evidences that we see of this is in crystal peak. We can notice, all over the area, different types of machines and mechanisms such as conveyor belts, rock compressors, and laser beams (though the latter might perhaps just be a natural property of the crystals themselves).

And when arriving to the end of the zone, we discover a kind of workshop with some huge robots in it. If we read the description of the crystal heart, we can see that these very robots are, in fact, creations of the inhabitants of Hallownest, used for mining.

Hallownest was a very technologycal developed civilization, and I would even go so far as to say that these mining golems could rival the Chorus of Pharloom.

Discussion - Hollow Knight Just played hk for the first time since silksong came out Spoiler

• Upvotes

Hollow knight might still be the game I like more. I only recently got into hk (like a couple months before silksong) so there’s no nostalgia factor. The vibes and feel of the original game with the music are unmatched. There are obviously some improvement in silksongs general gameplay, but it doesn’t hit the same for me. Both great games, but I lean towards the og. Is that an unpopular opinion among people who’ve played both or generally agreed upon?

Achievement - Hollow Knight Well Folks I Did It 🥹 Spoiler

It’s my 2nd ever playthrough of Hollow Knight and I finally got the much sought after 112% completion after finally beating The Radiance for the first time. I loved the ending and as with all games finishing one is bittersweet, I’m happy I did it but I’ll miss Hallownest and my lil Ghost but I’m looking forward to carrying on Hornet’s story in Silksong soon. Who knows maybe one day I will come back to take my place at the peak of Hallownest.

Question - Hollow Knight Parrying in HK Spoiler

• Upvotes

So I have never played silksong but am interested, I am about one third to halfway though HK I believe. Anyway, I saw that one can do some sort of parry thing? "Stich-blablabla" whatever its called so when one strikes at the same time the other one strikes they take damage or something. I am wondering is that something to try to learn, is it useful in HK beyond looking cool (I am not at all interested in doing cool stuff or speedrunning or something, just want to play the game)

So summery of the question: is it worth learning parrying in HK or wait until I play Silksong
