Unravelled - Don't care what anybody says, Reaper is the GOAT. I know I am bad at the game, but none of the crests worked except for Reaper, which did the trick. The combo of blue crests to increase bind, fast healing, and max health made all the difference. Wish I had swapped to those health crests from the start. Beat it on my second try once I got that set up.

My idea of Esmy's identity Spoiler

Post image
• Upvotes

I'll just cut to the chase immediately: Esmy is The Lost Kin
I also have reason to believe that Esmy is COMPLETELY separate from the Nail Brother Beef, none of them mention it, not even in their minds, and it's obviously a red herring as to who Esmy is.

Anyways, I'll lay out the basics:
The Lost Kin obviously knows Nail arts, in case you forgot the fight, they use an imitation of the dash slash (they simply dash and use a great slash, presumably due to being a REANIMATION of the Lost Kin) which implies that they know both of Oro and Sheo's techniques, however I also want to note their side to side sword slash they perform, I don't think it's an imitation of cyclone slash, it actually brings me to the next part of this theory

In relation to Sly, I have reason to suspect a mentorship, as Sly is the only other person that could teach a person of the Nail arts without the Brothers. not only that, but also the side to side slash move they do during their fight look incredibly similar to a move that Sly performs during the Fight of The Great Nailsage, I suspect this a Nail art that was purposefully kept from The Ghost out of respect for the deceased.

I also believe this could open the possibility of what happened to the Lost Kin, unlike you or other vessels when they die, the Lost Kin has no Shade, rather they're a hollow corpse with a cracked open head, one of my assumptions gathered around a specific scenario: Esmy was bringing Sly (their mentor and a person they would trust) down to ancient basin, but before they could go any deeper, Esmy was possessed by The Light due to a similar idea instilled to the Knight (their mentorship) due to this infection, Sly had to old yeller Esmy in gladiatorial combat, and if you've completed the Pantheon of The Sage, it's understandable as to why Esmy lost.

On ANOTHER side tangent, this theory would also tie into the Vessel Growth theory, as The Lost Kin is notably taller than the Knight (not as tall as my goat tho), as Sly's mentorship could've trained them to proper growth

The giant moth, the Radiance

Is destroying the Pale King’s kingdom

Hijacking bugs’ sanity with magic

Like the every daily

Question that bugs the Radiance

How did my old rival even die?

I swear I didn’t attack his home

So she lived the

Radiance, Radiance

With her mind clouding bugs’

So she stands

To infect Hallownest

From a dream

Way up high in the sky

As the Sun in your eyes

Ain't it nice?

The life forever for

Moth gods

The giant moth, the Radiance

Is destroying the Pale King’s kingdom

Trapped in the vessel despite her magic

Yet the every daily

Hope that powered the Radiance

Would never cower off of its path

If I am remembered I cannot die

So she lived the

Radiance, Radiance

With her mind clouding bugs’

So she stands

To infect Hallownest

From a dream

Way up high in the sky

As the Sun in your eyes

Ain't it nice?

The life forever for

Moth gods

I made this character at school and am thinking of making a very small dlc like mod, where you need to take of the locks put on you (which are the helmet, and lock on the back of the character which inhibits you from flying until taking off)

HKMultiplayer — A Co-op Multiplayer Mod for Hollow Knight Spoiler

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I've been developing HKMultiplayer, a multiplayer mod that aims to bring a co-op experience to Hollow Knight, and I'd like to share it with the community!

I used AI as a development tool to help with parts of the coding process, debugging, and development workflow. I worked on the project to bring the features together into a playable multiplayer experience, and I'm sharing it to get feedback, find bugs, and keep improving it.

GitHub: https://github.com/Yesid-Robayo/HKMultiplayerMOD

Features

👥 Multiplayer

  • Supports up to 4 players.
  • Synchronizes player movements, animations, attacks, spells, and charms.
  • Includes a partner HUD and map to help you keep track of other players.

⚔️ Enemies and Bosses

  • Fight enemies and bosses together.
  • Synchronizes enemy health, attacks, damage, and deaths.
  • Designed to let players participate in the same encounters.

🌍 World Progression

  • Explore Hallownest together, including story and DLC content.
  • Synchronizes progression and environmental interactions, such as switches, doors, and breakable objects.
  • Players retain their individual inventories and abilities.
  • Separate co-op worlds help keep your normal save files untouched.

🌐 Multiplayer Connections

  • Steam invites and Join Game.
  • LAN connections for local multiplayer.
  • Internet connections using IP-based networking.
  • Support for combining Steam and IP connections in the same session.

🛠️ Other Features

  • CustomKnight-compatible skins.
  • Teammate health, Soul, and location indicators.
  • Co-op revival and recovery mechanics.
  • Configurable enemy and boss difficulty.
  • A dedicated multiplayer menu and in-game settings.
  • An installer supporting installation, updates, and uninstallation.

📦 Installation

The mod supports both automatic and manual installation.

  • Automatic installation: Use the included installer for a simpler setup, updates, and uninstallation.
  • Manual installation: If you don't trust the installer or prefer not to run it because Windows displays a security warning, you can install the mod manually by following the instructions in the GitHub repository.

Windows may flag the installer because it is not widely recognized or signed. However, this warning alone does not prove that a file is safe or malicious. If you have concerns, you can inspect the source code and choose the manual installation method instead.

🌎 Language Support

The mod supports both English and Spanish, making it accessible to more players in the Hollow Knight community.

Development Status

The project is currently in beta. I've tested it using multiple game instances, including playthrough testing with up to four players simulated on one PC. Testing with separate PCs and real-world online sessions is still needed, so bugs and compatibility issues may occur.

I'm sharing the project to get feedback, find bugs, and continue improving the multiplayer experience.

If you're interested, check out the repository! Bug reports, suggestions, and contributions are welcome.

The newest Zelda video showcases a unique feature we hadn't seen before: the Hall of Fallen Foes which really brings Hollow Knight's Pantheon to mind. It even has a timer! Do you think they'll add a boss rush mode as well?

I just beat P5, did the mister mushroom thing, and got pure completion. The only thing I’ve got left to do to platinum is the hunters journal stuff. My question is, can I get everything post game? Like is there a way to get the beginning of the game bugs even after beating it? Or do o need to do an entire new run just for the damn journal?
