WEBVTT

00:00:04.930 --> 00:00:14.540
okay let's all take a deep breath so the
hornet dlc the team

00:00:14.540 --> 00:00:20.330
telling us about for so long isn't
actually a dlc it's a full fuckin sequel

00:00:20.330 --> 00:00:25.849
with a bunch of bosses new areas new
enemies new mechanics and hilarious new

00:00:25.849 --> 00:00:29.930
voice lines remember when William said
hollow night - wouldn't come out for

00:00:29.930 --> 00:00:34.670
another ten years well turns out he was
lying right to our faces I can't believe

00:00:34.670 --> 00:00:38.120
I trusted you William never again no
yeah

00:00:38.120 --> 00:00:41.540
team cherry has dropped a trail of
revealing hollow Knights silks on a

00:00:41.540 --> 00:00:45.860
proper sequel to haul night that
honestly looks better you can really

00:00:45.860 --> 00:00:48.680
tell the team Cherie is putting the
knowledge they gained making the first

00:00:48.680 --> 00:00:52.940
game to use this trailer is filled to
the brim with shit that needs discussing

00:00:52.940 --> 00:00:57.320
so let's dive right in the trailer
starts off with these tiny bugs carrying

00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:01.730
Hornet in some kind of cage across the
plains beyond how honest this already

00:01:01.730 --> 00:01:05.540
raises a ton of questions first of all
what happened to Hornet in the god

00:01:05.540 --> 00:01:09.770
master DLC endings how exactly do we go
from Hornet running into the whole night

00:01:09.770 --> 00:01:13.579
to Hornet being captured by a bunch of
Representatives of the Lollipop Guild I

00:01:13.579 --> 00:01:17.329
feel like we missed the step somewhere
along the way my second problem with

00:01:17.329 --> 00:01:21.320
this scene is how exactly did these puny
ass bugs capture the demigod that is

00:01:21.320 --> 00:01:25.400
Hornet did they trick her into the cage
with bait or something and can she just

00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:30.110
escape whenever she wants this didn't
look very hard to do why wait until now

00:01:30.110 --> 00:01:34.640
and so Hornet finds herself in a whole
new Kingdom to explore it is a land

00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:39.200
haunted by silken song full of mysteries
and secrets that will help Hornet

00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:43.430
uncover more about her past and her
ultimate fate Hornet must descend to the

00:01:43.430 --> 00:01:48.619
peak of this new Kingdom to reach a
shining Citadel and do something we

00:01:48.619 --> 00:01:52.159
haven't gotten that far yet along the
way Hornet must face against beasts

00:01:52.159 --> 00:02:00.290
hunters assassins Kings monsters Walmart
greeters and Knights so what new Lance

00:02:00.290 --> 00:02:04.369
can we expect Hornet to decimate through
on her new journey good question me

00:02:04.369 --> 00:02:07.869
let's find out

00:02:08.569 --> 00:02:13.620
first off we have the mossy grotto now
we don't officially know the names of

00:02:13.620 --> 00:02:17.940
any of these places the names I'm using
come from teen Cherry's blog post so

00:02:17.940 --> 00:02:21.840
they're more of just placeholders for
now this area reminds me of green path

00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:26.459
but even then it is much brighter than
green path ever was this area might also

00:02:26.459 --> 00:02:30.000
be the starting point of the game since
it looks like this is where Hornet

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:33.900
eventually escapes from her cage the
enemies in this area are pretty generic

00:02:33.900 --> 00:02:38.640
I don't know if these guys are slugs or
what there's also this guy who runs

00:02:38.640 --> 00:02:43.049
along the ceiling spitting shit Hornet
it also looks like that one cut enemy

00:02:43.049 --> 00:02:47.220
from the original game has been added
back in still no blundering Auber list

00:02:47.220 --> 00:02:54.660
though the mossy grotto also features an
NPC most likely named druid of the Moss

00:02:54.660 --> 00:02:59.340
temple according to team cherry there is
going to be a more formalized questing

00:02:59.340 --> 00:03:03.630
system and silk song compared to hollow
knight in silk song there these quest

00:03:03.630 --> 00:03:08.489
boards that give the player a variety of
quests to explore there also appears to

00:03:08.489 --> 00:03:14.430
be at least four different types of
quests in silk song gather Wayfarer hunt

00:03:14.430 --> 00:03:20.250
and grand hunt gather has probably just
give this person these elements hunts

00:03:20.250 --> 00:03:23.750
are likely just combat events where you
have to find and kill certain enemies

00:03:23.750 --> 00:03:28.260
unfortunately we never get a description
for a wayfarer quest but I do have an

00:03:28.260 --> 00:03:32.970
idea about what they are in this clip we
are introduced to two npcs named garment

00:03:32.970 --> 00:03:37.530
and zaza as they ram into a bunch of
enemies with a horn instrument so I

00:03:37.530 --> 00:03:41.519
think Wayfarer quests will involve
Hornet escorting nbc's across the world

00:03:41.519 --> 00:03:46.319
map similar to what is happening here
also the symbol for wayfarer quests is

00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:50.489
of a harp a musical instrument and
garmin and Zaher Zaher are using a

00:03:50.489 --> 00:03:53.910
musical instrument even if they are
using it as an instrument of torture

00:03:53.910 --> 00:03:58.680
speaking of instruments another NPC we
meet in the mossy grotto is this singing

00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:02.970
shaman like character in this clip we
can see in Hornet is actually strumming

00:04:02.970 --> 00:04:07.319
on her needle while the shaman sings so
it seems like music will play a big part

00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:11.100
in this game which shouldn't be a
surprise considering the game is called

00:04:11.100 --> 00:04:16.139
silk song we also see a boss from the
mossy grotto that looks like some kind

00:04:16.139 --> 00:04:20.970
of moss covered bee it also looks like a
total bitch which supports the idea that

00:04:20.970 --> 00:04:24.670
this is a star
in the game the last area we see related

00:04:24.670 --> 00:04:29.320
to the mossy grotto is this tiny village
that seems to be on the border now one

00:04:29.320 --> 00:04:32.350
big question for this game is how
exactly does mosque grow deep

00:04:32.350 --> 00:04:37.690
underground in hollow night green path
was made lush by on the sexy slug

00:04:37.690 --> 00:04:43.090
monster lived in a nearby lake of acid
so what's going on does unhak uh zijn or

00:04:43.090 --> 00:04:47.590
something like button getting back to
this village it looks like the area

00:04:47.590 --> 00:04:54.360
connected to the mossy grotto has a bone
aesthetic going on sound familiar

00:04:55.470 --> 00:04:59.590
team cherry has finally answered our
prayers and given us the forest of Bones

00:04:59.590 --> 00:05:05.500
or possibly bone bottom but that names
lame so I'm not gonna use it regardless

00:05:05.500 --> 00:05:10.090
of what you call it it looks amazing can
we just take a second to appreciate how

00:05:10.090 --> 00:05:15.130
beautiful this game is it just oozes
Beauty out of every single frame it's a

00:05:15.130 --> 00:05:19.780
fucking masterpiece anyway I'm going to
count a large number of areas as being

00:05:19.780 --> 00:05:23.500
in the forest of Bones pretty much
anything with bones or lava

00:05:23.500 --> 00:05:27.160
I'm guessing this area will be broken up
in the final game but for now I'm just

00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:31.390
gonna cast a wide net
let's talk enemies the most simple

00:05:31.390 --> 00:05:34.810
enemies in this area appear to be the
black bugs that wear skulls on their

00:05:34.810 --> 00:05:38.890
heads not much really to say about these
boneheads so let's just move on to the

00:05:38.890 --> 00:05:42.880
ants now I think the ants are positioned
in the northern part of the forest of

00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:47.380
bones because they don't seem to be very
close to the lava the ants do have the

00:05:47.380 --> 00:05:51.220
bone aesthetic though wearing skulls on
their heads and building structures out

00:05:51.220 --> 00:05:55.230
of bones there's also a boss fight
against what might be the queen ant

00:05:55.230 --> 00:06:00.130
another NPC we meet in the forest of
Bones is Sherma not much to say about

00:06:00.130 --> 00:06:04.000
this guy except that he appears to have
his own instrument as well one of the

00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:08.170
coolest bosses in the trailer also shows
up in the forest of Bones someone

00:06:08.170 --> 00:06:12.580
speculated that it's some kind of robot
or autonomous being and I think that's

00:06:12.580 --> 00:06:16.060
possible it does vibrate a bit like it's
a piece of machinery

00:06:16.060 --> 00:06:20.500
as for who built this thing I think the
likely candidates are these guys

00:06:20.500 --> 00:06:24.670
I'm going to call these bugs Bell heads
because they wear bells on their heads

00:06:24.670 --> 00:06:29.230
now I don't keep up with Australian
fashion but maybe this is where team

00:06:29.230 --> 00:06:33.190
cherry got their inspiration these bugs
appear to work very closely with lava

00:06:33.190 --> 00:06:38.140
placing it into these strange containers
we can see this bell Smith chiseling

00:06:38.140 --> 00:06:42.010
away at the contents of one of the
containers we see these containers again

00:06:42.010 --> 00:06:46.480
in another room filled with furnaces and
bells and now I think it's time we

00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:51.790
talked about the bells there are bells
everywhere in this game several other

00:06:51.790 --> 00:06:56.430
characters can be seen carrying scepters
that have bells on them this symbol

00:06:56.430 --> 00:07:02.890
representing a bell can be seen all over
the place one room is even completely

00:07:02.890 --> 00:07:08.770
encapsulated in bells bugs wear bells on
their heads bugs live at fucking Bell

00:07:08.770 --> 00:07:13.750
houses and of course there's the most
important bell of all the Bell right

00:07:13.750 --> 00:07:16.930
here next to the subscription button be
sure to ring them actually no the most

00:07:16.930 --> 00:07:20.560
important Bell is right here at the end
of the trailer it's so important it even

00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:24.520
has a seal of binding on it so we've
established that there a metric shit-ton

00:07:24.520 --> 00:07:28.240
of bells in this game and I think that
the Bell heads in the forest of bones

00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:31.750
are a part of the production of all of
these bells but do they really need to

00:07:31.750 --> 00:07:36.460
make so many I think the market is
becoming saturated after all you don't

00:07:36.460 --> 00:07:40.419
want your product lifecycle to look like
this that's what we in the money

00:07:40.419 --> 00:07:44.979
business call a bubble it's much better
if your lifecycle looks like this bell

00:07:44.979 --> 00:07:51.040
curve here wait fuck I think there are
at least two different gilded cities in

00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:56.830
silk song there is this town that has
giant Bell houses and a larger city that

00:07:56.830 --> 00:08:00.910
has giant buildings in the background we
also see some kind of clock tower like

00:08:00.910 --> 00:08:05.860
building reminiscent of Castlevania 3 as
well as this room with furnaces and

00:08:05.860 --> 00:08:10.720
giant piles of discarded bells the main
enemy types we see here are these weird

00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:15.640
cultists like bugs they cover their
faces with cloth marked with bell

00:08:15.640 --> 00:08:20.140
symbols and they carry hooked weapons
now I could go into some crazy lore

00:08:20.140 --> 00:08:24.729
speculation as to why these bugs are
obsessed with bells but let's save that

00:08:24.729 --> 00:08:28.390
for when we finished talking about
everything in this trailer there are a

00:08:28.390 --> 00:08:32.200
few friendly NPC's in these cities such
as a shopkeeper

00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:36.940
and this street performer or beggar or
whatever the fuck she is

00:08:36.940 --> 00:08:42.520
there is no geo in this game instead of
Hornet collects rosaries now why are

00:08:42.520 --> 00:08:47.470
these bugs carrying rosaries what the
fuck is this Mardi Gras in terms of

00:08:47.470 --> 00:08:52.660
bosses we have this night scene battling
Hornet in a darkened room if we brighten

00:08:52.660 --> 00:08:56.410
the image and then zoom and enhance we
can see the bell symbol on the Knights

00:08:56.410 --> 00:09:01.180
chest and then there's this guy I think
he's somewhere in one of the gilded

00:09:01.180 --> 00:09:05.770
cities based on the objects in the
background but I'm not sure this bug has

00:09:05.770 --> 00:09:10.089
heart-shaped antennae a big fluffy
plumage and his floor shoots out fucking

00:09:10.089 --> 00:09:14.530
confetti or some shit but a baller
someone speculated that he is related to

00:09:14.530 --> 00:09:18.490
the grim troupe somehow but I don't
think the similar color scheme is

00:09:18.490 --> 00:09:22.780
intentional just outside one of these
Bell cities Hornet encounters another

00:09:22.780 --> 00:09:27.970
Ally chakra she has a little bit of an
elder hue vibe but judging by the

00:09:27.970 --> 00:09:32.050
scrolls on her back it seems possible
that chakra is this game's corner for

00:09:32.050 --> 00:09:36.490
another NPC we might meet here is this
decapod looking motherfucker they show

00:09:36.490 --> 00:09:40.920
up twice in the trailer once is a boss
and then again as a fast travel system

00:09:40.920 --> 00:09:45.760
obviously the bail system found in Halla
nest wouldn't really work here so it's

00:09:45.760 --> 00:09:49.540
no surprise that we don't see any stags
in this game I do think it's funny

00:09:49.540 --> 00:09:54.130
though the night becomes good friends
with the last stag but Hornet just beats

00:09:54.130 --> 00:09:59.920
their transportation into submission

00:09:59.920 --> 00:10:04.100
this seems like a good point to segue
into talking about how Hornet plays I

00:10:04.100 --> 00:10:07.160
know this video is a bit of a roller
coaster isn't it

00:10:07.160 --> 00:10:12.470
Hornet is fast as fuck like look at this
clip how the fuck does she do that

00:10:12.470 --> 00:10:17.510
Hornet has a regular walk run and sprint
speed we don't know how sprinting is

00:10:17.510 --> 00:10:22.040
triggered but walking occurs in villages
Hornet also has this really cool spider

00:10:22.040 --> 00:10:27.230
crawl that gives her height and mobility
horny can wall jump ledge grab use her

00:10:27.230 --> 00:10:31.820
lunge ability both on the ground and in
the air and she also has an air -

00:10:31.820 --> 00:10:37.220
whenever Hornet deals damage she gains
silk that fills up her spool in the

00:10:37.220 --> 00:10:41.360
trailer a lot of enemies give off silk
when hit I'm guessing there's some big

00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:45.530
law reason for this but let's ignore
that for now spending silk affords

00:10:45.530 --> 00:10:49.730
Hornet a number of different abilities
the spool can hold 12 notches of silk

00:10:49.730 --> 00:10:54.530
and most of the moves used in this
trailer cost 4 notches first off Hornet

00:10:54.530 --> 00:10:58.850
has her grapple move that pulls her into
enemies what's cool about this move is

00:10:58.850 --> 00:11:03.350
that hitting an enemy gives Hornet more
silk allowing her to do it again Hornet

00:11:03.350 --> 00:11:07.430
can throw her Neal and enemies as well
as use her Gaza mere storm and parry

00:11:07.430 --> 00:11:12.950
abilities Hornet also has a heal ability
we only see at once and Hornet spends

00:11:12.950 --> 00:11:18.800
all 12 of our notches of silk to heal
herself from two masts up to 5 she can

00:11:18.800 --> 00:11:22.630
perform the move wall in the air and it
has very short starting and ending lag

00:11:22.630 --> 00:11:27.530
we don't know if this move requires an
entire charge of spool or even how many

00:11:27.530 --> 00:11:32.390
masks of health it can heal when Hornet
spool is completely full you'll see this

00:11:32.390 --> 00:11:36.440
bobbin light up which makes me think
that some moves require this to be full

00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:41.120
in order to use them while we're here
let's talk about silk psalms replacement

00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:46.250
for the charms in hollow Knight tools so
because Hornet isn't a mindless dumbass

00:11:46.250 --> 00:11:51.470
like the knight she is able to craft
weapons traps and mechanisms these tools

00:11:51.470 --> 00:11:55.400
are equipped on the Hornet at a bench
instead of using notches Hornet has

00:11:55.400 --> 00:12:00.680
crests a crest has slots for different
types of tools presumably weapons traps

00:12:00.680 --> 00:12:04.280
and mechanisms it appears as though
there are different crests that Hornet

00:12:04.280 --> 00:12:07.850
can use allowing her to use different
amounts of each of these types of

00:12:07.850 --> 00:12:11.940
weapons so for example there might be a
crest that gives you two traps law

00:12:11.940 --> 00:12:17.130
one weapon slaw and no mechanism slots
the trailer shows off a few of these

00:12:17.130 --> 00:12:21.540
tools the first of which being a spiked
ball similar to what Horner used against

00:12:21.540 --> 00:12:25.620
the night in the Hornet to fight the
next item is called a pimp pillow which

00:12:25.620 --> 00:12:29.460
is basically just a bomb the description
mentions that pin pillows can harm

00:12:29.460 --> 00:12:33.090
friends this is likely referring to
allies you have to escort during

00:12:33.090 --> 00:12:38.550
Wayfarer quests such as Garmin and zaza
we also have the lovely companion tool

00:12:38.550 --> 00:12:42.780
hopefully we'll see at least two more of
these there is the throwing dagger

00:12:42.780 --> 00:12:46.560
there's also the throwing dagger but
three of them there's the classic

00:12:46.560 --> 00:12:50.910
stabbing yourself violently in the chest
with a lifeblood syringe and of course

00:12:50.910 --> 00:12:54.210
it wouldn't be a fucking team cherry
game without a buzzsaw

00:12:54.210 --> 00:12:58.980
good job William I never doubted you
anyway let's get back to talking about

00:12:58.980 --> 00:13:02.280
the bazillion different areas in the
game because I'm still not done talking

00:13:02.280 --> 00:13:10.590
about those yet so the misty Moor
appears to be this really damp rundown

00:13:10.590 --> 00:13:15.240
area of the game we see a graveyard in
this area as well as a town on a

00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:19.650
waterfront in this town is an NPC that
looks like relic seeker LEM hiding

00:13:19.650 --> 00:13:25.190
underneath a pile of poop or is it a
seashell probably a seashell

00:13:25.190 --> 00:13:29.190
unfortunately we don't know if there are
any eggs in this game to sell to them we

00:13:29.190 --> 00:13:33.240
also see a new enemy group in this area
I feel like these guys might actually be

00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:37.980
back or content in their latest video
team cherry challenged us to guess what

00:13:37.980 --> 00:13:41.040
parts of the new trailer were backer
content from the hollow Knight

00:13:41.040 --> 00:13:45.360
Kickstarter and in their latest blog
post team cherry mentioned the backer

00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:50.910
content again saying get ready to dance
with operatic Queens battle mysterious

00:13:50.910 --> 00:13:56.400
assassins scale a soaring warlords tower
and that's just a start for operatic

00:13:56.400 --> 00:14:00.200
Queens I think Team cherries are friend
to the queen ant we saw earlier

00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:04.980
assassins probably refers to steel
assassins sharp who has been revealed in

00:14:04.980 --> 00:14:09.240
previous blog updates as for the
warlords tower I think team cherry is

00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:13.350
referring to this area one of the
rewards for backing hollow Knight was to

00:14:13.350 --> 00:14:17.670
design a dungeon with its own boss and
enemies I think this area is actually

00:14:17.670 --> 00:14:20.600
the warlords Tower

00:14:23.070 --> 00:14:27.250
so coral forest is just a better version
of fog Canyon

00:14:27.250 --> 00:14:31.750
not a single jellyfish in sight and I
couldn't be happier we don't see much of

00:14:31.750 --> 00:14:36.400
coral forest but we do see one boss and
he can somehow summon coral into the

00:14:36.400 --> 00:14:41.110
arena at will not sure how that works
but okay and of course we have this guy

00:14:41.110 --> 00:14:46.720
so this will require a bit of explaining
in hallow night there is a cave east of

00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:50.710
dirt mouth depending on whether you are
playing on normal mode or steel sole

00:14:50.710 --> 00:14:56.170
mode you'll either encounter confessor
Gigi or steel sole Jin both Gigi and Jin

00:14:56.170 --> 00:15:01.180
make references to their masters if you
talk to Gigi after covering your shade

00:15:01.180 --> 00:15:05.130
after getting the void heart Gigi will
say that her masters would be impressed

00:15:05.130 --> 00:15:09.760
Gigi also has the ability to conjure up
the shade from anywhere in hala nest

00:15:09.760 --> 00:15:14.170
implying that she has some form of
control over the void it would only make

00:15:14.170 --> 00:15:18.730
sense that these Masters taught Jill
disability after acquiring the King's

00:15:18.730 --> 00:15:23.140
brand steel soul Jin will tell the night
that she could not bow for her masters

00:15:23.140 --> 00:15:27.850
minds or other and that they did not
seek order like the king after acquiring

00:15:27.850 --> 00:15:31.930
the void heart Jin will tell the knight
that it has become different like her

00:15:31.930 --> 00:15:36.520
masters so from this we can tell that
these masters have some sort of intimate

00:15:36.520 --> 00:15:40.330
relationship with the void given the
theme of steel and the obvious

00:15:40.330 --> 00:15:43.990
similarities in design it appears as
though these masters are also connected

00:15:43.990 --> 00:15:49.210
to these new enemies found in silk song
steel assassin sharp this enemies seen

00:15:49.210 --> 00:15:53.140
in the coral forest and another
character we haven't seen yet are all

00:15:53.140 --> 00:15:58.000
hunters presumably sent out by these
masters in order to eliminate Hornet we

00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:02.380
really don't know what motivates the
Masters we don't know why they sent Gigi

00:16:02.380 --> 00:16:05.590
and Jin to help the knight in hollow
Knight and we don't know why they want

00:16:05.590 --> 00:16:09.610
Hornet killed after she was taken to a
different Kingdom all we know is that

00:16:09.610 --> 00:16:13.600
they don't seek order hopefully that
helps clear up what we know about the

00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:18.010
steel hunters we'll be seeing in silk
song now in regards to the shining

00:16:18.010 --> 00:16:22.510
citadel I'm not sure if we actually see
it in the trailer but there is one more

00:16:22.510 --> 00:16:28.770
area from the trailer I haven't
mentioned

00:16:29.040 --> 00:16:34.570
so we only get two shots of this really
dark area one with a fight with a boss

00:16:34.570 --> 00:16:38.769
called lace and another with a weaver
standing in some sort of shrine

00:16:38.769 --> 00:16:43.810
surrounded by silk let's talk about the
weavers first so the weavers were

00:16:43.810 --> 00:16:48.279
somehow involved in the events of hallow
night to what extent we don't know what

00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:51.550
we do know is that the weavers
eventually left Hallam s to return to

00:16:51.550 --> 00:16:55.930
their original home except for one that
appears to have stayed behind the

00:16:55.930 --> 00:16:59.709
weavers were capable of performing songs
with the song of farewell being

00:16:59.709 --> 00:17:04.179
mentioned in the Weaver song charm
according to midwife the weavers crafted

00:17:04.179 --> 00:17:08.679
stories shields and spells on their
looms we know that the weavers are

00:17:08.679 --> 00:17:12.309
somehow connected to this new kingdom
given one of the tools see in the menu

00:17:12.309 --> 00:17:16.720
and this subtle hint right here it seems
likely that this kingdom is the Weaver's

00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:21.160
home that they return to after leaving
Hal honest it seems like the weavers

00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:24.819
might be the reason why Hornet was
captured seeing as no one else would

00:17:24.819 --> 00:17:27.400
probably even know about Hornet other
than them

00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:32.190
moving on to lace lace is the only boss
in the trailer that Hornet fights twice

00:17:32.190 --> 00:17:36.880
once in the force two bones and another
time in this dark room filled with white

00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:40.870
roses and silk what is interesting about
lace is that we don't know who she is

00:17:40.870 --> 00:17:45.309
connected to she carries a hooked weapon
similar to what the Bell worshipers have

00:17:45.309 --> 00:17:48.669
but there are also several other
characters with such a weapon so it

00:17:48.669 --> 00:17:53.650
might mean nothing given the name lace
it seems like she might be connected to

00:17:53.650 --> 00:17:58.150
the Weaver somehow maybe she acts as
their guardian similar to Hornet was a

00:17:58.150 --> 00:18:02.890
guardian in hollow Knight in other words
she might not be a true antagonist but

00:18:02.890 --> 00:18:08.669
those eyes are pretty evil looking so
the jury is out on this one

00:18:11.730 --> 00:18:15.370
now I know what you're thinking holy
shit

00:18:15.370 --> 00:18:19.720
mas bag is incredibly smart and handsome
but there's no way in hell he'll be able

00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:23.680
to make sense of any of this lore
it's literally impossible I mean first

00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:26.710
of all you have a bell worshipping cult
that seems to be in control of much of

00:18:26.710 --> 00:18:30.520
the kingdom you also have the Masters
and their army of trained assassins

00:18:30.520 --> 00:18:33.970
whose motives are shrouded in mystery
and then of course there are the weavers

00:18:33.970 --> 00:18:38.050
and they're incredibly vague powers and
goals this whole thing is just way too

00:18:38.050 --> 00:18:42.370
vague to make any sense out of now I
can't blame you for thinking this in

00:18:42.370 --> 00:18:46.510
fact you're probably right I will most
likely get nothing right in this section

00:18:46.510 --> 00:18:50.740
it'll be fun for me to come back after
the game comes out and see how wrong I

00:18:50.740 --> 00:18:54.280
was
all right so this new Kingdom is haunted

00:18:54.280 --> 00:18:58.450
by silken song but what the fuck does
that mean

00:18:58.450 --> 00:19:02.380
we can see that some enemies give off
silk when they are struck by Hornet is

00:19:02.380 --> 00:19:08.230
this silk actually attaching on to these
bugs does the silk just manifest itself

00:19:08.230 --> 00:19:12.910
on them what if this silk literally
controls these bugs like puppets making

00:19:12.910 --> 00:19:16.990
them hostile enemies if you look at the
giant monster in the forest of Bones

00:19:16.990 --> 00:19:21.280
during its roar animation you will see
these lines coming down at each of the

00:19:21.280 --> 00:19:26.260
appendages this effect does disappear
but what if this is team cherries subtle

00:19:26.260 --> 00:19:30.520
way of telling us something those lines
were programmed into the game to look

00:19:30.520 --> 00:19:36.490
that way and remember this entire game
is about travelling upwards when you

00:19:36.490 --> 00:19:40.900
control a puppet you stand above it so
whoever is at the top of the kingdom

00:19:40.900 --> 00:19:46.000
might be literally pulling the strings
of all of these bugs now this haunted by

00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:49.930
song line is really interesting does
this mean they are haunted by the bells

00:19:49.930 --> 00:19:53.470
that everyone is obsessed with well I
don't think this line is referring to

00:19:53.470 --> 00:19:59.380
bells at all no I think there is literal
music that is plaguing these bugs the

00:19:59.380 --> 00:20:03.730
mass production of bells was a way to
try and fight against this if you wring

00:20:03.730 --> 00:20:07.720
enough bells you essentially are able to
drown out the song you are listening to

00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:11.770
so in other words the bugs of this
kingdom were attacked by the power of

00:20:11.770 --> 00:20:17.110
some song and their plan to fight it was
the thing is these bells are used by

00:20:17.110 --> 00:20:22.269
several bugs in the kingdom not just the
crazy cultish ones so I think there must

00:20:22.269 --> 00:20:26.380
be a good reason for why they are being
used the bugs that captured Hornet in

00:20:26.380 --> 00:20:30.100
the beginning are doing so because they
need her help to stop the torment of the

00:20:30.100 --> 00:20:34.690
silken song plaguing the kingdom I don't
think they are actually bad it's just

00:20:34.690 --> 00:20:38.860
that most of them have fallen victim to
this curse The Wanderers Hornet meets

00:20:38.860 --> 00:20:42.429
carry instruments with them has another
way to drown out the song that haunts

00:20:42.429 --> 00:20:46.090
over the kingdom as for the bugs that
are hostile this is simply because

00:20:46.090 --> 00:20:50.860
they're not able to escape the song and
become trapped so who's responsible for

00:20:50.860 --> 00:20:55.539
all this I don't think we can know that
yet the giant Bell in the trailer is

00:20:55.539 --> 00:21:00.789
protected by a seal of binding except it
is purple instead of the usual white and

00:21:00.789 --> 00:21:04.960
when most enemies get hit in this game
they bleed purple blood so I'm going to

00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:08.320
go out on a limb and say that the
antagonist of this game will be related

00:21:08.320 --> 00:21:12.610
to the color purple in some way another
possible culprit is of course the

00:21:12.610 --> 00:21:17.529
weavers but I'm pretty sure the weavers
are supposed to be good guys I think

00:21:17.529 --> 00:21:20.830
it's possible that the weavers might
actually have been captured by this

00:21:20.830 --> 00:21:25.840
being and forced to create the silken
song used to control this kingdom the

00:21:25.840 --> 00:21:29.679
lone Weaver in hallo nest is the only
one not captured and was able to tell

00:21:29.679 --> 00:21:33.129
other bugs about Hornets so that she
could be captured and brought in to help

00:21:33.129 --> 00:21:38.289
now again this is all baseless
speculation I'm basically writing

00:21:38.289 --> 00:21:43.210
fanfiction at this point so don't treat
my word here as gospel by any means so

00:21:43.210 --> 00:21:47.860
all that's left to talk about are the
masters and their steel hunters why do

00:21:47.860 --> 00:21:51.730
they care about what Hornet is doing
here in this new Kingdom what stakes do

00:21:51.730 --> 00:21:57.340
they have well remember where Hornet is
going a shining Citadel the key word

00:21:57.340 --> 00:22:02.769
here is shining light the power to
oppose darkness or the void remember

00:22:02.769 --> 00:22:06.220
that god master ending where the flower
the god seeker was holding was able to

00:22:06.220 --> 00:22:11.049
counteract against the shade Lord well
in this trailer we see an entire field

00:22:11.049 --> 00:22:15.129
of white roses growing in the light
presumably shining down from the Citadel

00:22:15.129 --> 00:22:18.370
the flowers are even growing on the pipe
in the background

00:22:18.370 --> 00:22:22.419
I think the Masters are afraid that
Hornet will find resources needed to

00:22:22.419 --> 00:22:27.309
combat the void if she ever reaches the
shining Citadel now that's about it for

00:22:27.309 --> 00:22:30.340
the trailer analysis
but there are still questions regarding

00:22:30.340 --> 00:22:33.580
how this game connects back to holland
i'ts multiple endings

00:22:33.580 --> 00:22:38.410
I think silk song will have different
content in it depending on which endings

00:22:38.410 --> 00:22:42.370
you have finished with Halle Knight
whether that is just different dialogue

00:22:42.370 --> 00:22:47.169
or a few extra bosses I don't know but I
do think team cherry will make sure that

00:22:47.169 --> 00:22:52.210
each ending of Halle night still makes
sense with the events of silk song also

00:22:52.210 --> 00:22:56.440
we don't have an explanation for the
trilobite statue in deep nest team

00:22:56.440 --> 00:23:00.070
cherry has said that this game will give
us more information about Hornets past

00:23:00.070 --> 00:23:04.929
and fate so hopefully we will finally
get an answer to this thing so yeah

00:23:04.929 --> 00:23:09.850
thanks for watching guys this trailer
has me hyped as hell and I can't wait to

00:23:09.850 --> 00:23:14.200
talk with you about all the new lore we
will be getting in this game I'd like to

00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:19.240
end on one last piece of very important
news team cherry finally put Jack on

00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:24.059
their website congratulations jack
