Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.72,0:00:35.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,missing. Something about Gods and Glory™\Nis just wrong. I really don’t know why Team
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.82,0:00:41.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Cherry went in this direction with their newest\Ncontent pack. This update sucks. It’s almost
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.38,0:00:45.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like I accidently downloaded and played an\Nentirely different game, thinking it was a

Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.05,0:00:57.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so the final free update for Hollow Knight\Nis here, and, spoiler alert, Godmaster is
Dialogue: 0,0:00:57.66,0:01:03.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,fucking amazing. The new boss rush mode is\Nfantastic and carefully crafted. The new bosses
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.16,0:01:08.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are mostly fun, with one glaring exception.\NMy boy Nosk finally got its wings and I am
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.58,0:01:14.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so fucking happy. Yeah, he’s still a little\Nbitch, but he looks so badass so I don’t
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.01,0:01:18.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,care. But I’m sure you already knew that\NGodmaster was amazing, so I’ll just shut
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.10,0:01:20.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the fuck up and start talking about the lore.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.54,0:01:24.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now there’s a Zoteload of lore to go over,\Nso let’s just start with probably the biggest
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.67,0:01:29.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,new piece we got. Team Cherry has finally\Nlistened to their fans and given us more information
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.70,0:01:34.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on Flukemarm. In case you somehow forgot,\Nthe Flukemarm is a giant boss found in the
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.74,0:01:39.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Royal Waterways. She is the creature responsible\Nfor all of the parasite creatures wandering
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.02,0:01:44.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,around underneath the City of Tears. So what’s\Nthe new lore surrounding this thing? Well,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.18,0:01:48.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in Godhome, there are statues that represent\Neach of the bosses in the game. With these
Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.56,0:01:54.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,statues come short descriptions of each of\Nthe bosses. And for Flukemarm we get this:
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.19,0:01:55.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,“Alluring God of motherhood.”
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.79,0:02:01.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That’s right, according to the Hollow Knight\Nlore, this thing is “alluring” or in other
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.24,0:02:06.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,words, attractive, which mean that Flukemarm\Nis now canonically a MILF.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.16,0:02:11.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Not only that, but we also get a new character\Nrelated to Flukemarm, the Fluke Hermit. We
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.34,0:02:15.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,meet Fluke Hermit high up in the Junk Pit,\Nbelow the Nailsmith’s hut. She is surrounded
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.43,0:02:20.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by a pile of… whatever, and she is poking\Na little fluke with a stick. Dream Nailing

Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.87,0:02:28.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this is why she chooses to live high up above\Nwhere the other Flukes live. The Fluke Hermit
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.83,0:02:32.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,mentions that she gathers up the Flukemarm’s\Ntreasure. You can see that this shit in her
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.76,0:02:37.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,hideout is also in the room where the Flukemarm\Nfight occurs. The Fluke Hermit also uses the
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.67,0:02:42.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,words “Grow” and “Little Sisters”,\Nwhich makes me think she is trying to help
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.01,0:02:46.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,her sisters grow up from the materials she\Ntook from the Flukemarm room. Finally, if
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.57,0:02:51.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you wear the Flukenest charm and talk to the\NFluke Hermit, she freaks out, because... well...
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.48,0:02:57.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you know. We killed her mom. And then she\Nstarts wondering if she is the new Flukemarm.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.00,0:03:01.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what exactly is the point of this new character?\NWell, my guess is that the Fluke Hermit will
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.81,0:03:06.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,become more important in the upcoming Hornet\NDLC, since the new ending implies that it
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.24,0:03:11.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,will be a sequel. Maybe Team Cherry just wants\Nan excuse to give us another riveting Flukemarm
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.24,0:03:15.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,fight boss. Either that, or Team Cherry just\Nput her in to try and flesh out the pathway
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.71,0:03:18.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from the Junkpit to the City of Tears.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.76,0:03:23.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Another new character introduced in this update\Nwas the Pale Lurker. Unfortunately, there
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.03,0:03:27.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,isn’t much to go on with this girl. How\Ndo I know she’s a girl? Well that’s what
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.33,0:03:32.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the French translation says, so I’m just\Ngoing to assume that is what it is. She can
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.19,0:03:36.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,be found behind the Colosseum of Fools and\Nhas a simple key in her possession. From her
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.91,0:03:41.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Dream Nail dialogue, we can see that this\Nlady was bonkers. But from the Hunter’s
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.25,0:03:45.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Journal entry, we know that her madness has\Nnothing to do with the Radiance’s infection.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.44,0:03:49.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The journal entry also mentions that the Pale\NLurker was once a champion in the Colosseum
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.58,0:03:54.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of Fools. With her name including the word\N“pale”, the King’s Idol found in a nearby
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.67,0:03:59.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cave, and her Dream Nail dialogue using the\Nword “King”, I think it is safe to say
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.09,0:04:03.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that this character is somehow connected to\Nthe Pale King. But other than that, I don’t
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.34,0:04:07.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,think she really helps us better understand\Nanything connected to the Colosseum of Fools.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.46,0:04:14.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Alright, it’s time to talk about the Godseekers.\NAnd oh boy, is this lore dense. The Godseekers’
Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.32,0:04:18.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,origins begin in the Land of Storms. The player\Ncan actually travel to the Land of Storms
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.66,0:04:23.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in game by completing each of the five pantheons\Nwith all bindings. Thankfully, you don’t
Dialogue: 0,0:04:23.55,0:04:28.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,have to have all the bindings on at once,\Nbut it’s still hard as fuck to do. The Land
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.26,0:04:33.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of Storms is a desolate wasteland with high\Nwinds, rain and lightning. The area is just
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.34,0:04:37.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a long straight pathway that leads to a room\Ncontaining Godseeker masks piled up on the
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.97,0:04:43.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ground. In the background you can see the\Nsilhouettes of two large bugs. We can get
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.38,0:04:46.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a better view of these bugs by ripping the\Nimages from the game.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.73,0:04:51.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The Land of Storms also contains an item that\Nunlocks a Journal entry for the Weathered
Dialogue: 0,0:04:51.06,0:04:56.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Mask. The description of the mask says that\Nit originates from a godless land, and that
Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.49,0:05:00.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the design of the mask allows the wearer to\Nfocus their thoughts through the crest. There
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.87,0:05:05.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is also a quote from a poem titled “Lament\Nof the Godseekers”, which explains that
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.50,0:05:10.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the previous Gods that the Godseekers worshipped\Nabandoned them. It’s hard to say what the
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.28,0:05:14.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Godseekers did to cause their gods to forsake\Nthem, but it must have been something horrible.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.28,0:05:19.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or it’s possible that their gods just died.\NMaybe these silhouettes are of the Old Gods’
Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.87,0:05:24.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,corpses. Regardless of why the Old Gods are\Ngone, it’s clear that their departure had
Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.16,0:05:28.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a negative effect on the Godseekers. And it\Nhas to do with how the Godseekers’ mind
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.71,0:05:30.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,works.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:30.01,0:05:35.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The Godseekers have a shared mind. The Godseekers\Nwe talk to in the update almost always say
Dialogue: 0,0:05:35.49,0:05:41.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,“Our mind” as if they share one singular\Nmind. The Godseekers in Godhome also mention
Dialogue: 0,0:05:41.48,0:05:46.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that their mind is a sea. With this shared\Nmind, the Godseekers’ attempt to connect
Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.54,0:05:50.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,themselves with the Gods. The description\Non the Weathered Mask mentions that the wearer’s
Dialogue: 0,0:05:50.85,0:05:55.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thoughts are focused through the crest of\Nthe mask. It is through this focus that the
Dialogue: 0,0:05:55.42,0:06:01.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Godseekers are able to communicate with the\NGods and “ascend” their own mind. The
Dialogue: 0,0:06:01.17,0:06:04.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Godseeker in the Royal Waterways puts it best\Nwhen she says the following:
Dialogue: 0,0:06:04.00,0:06:08.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,“By attuning Ourselves We clutch at their\Ngreatness, their immortality. Their unknowable
Dialogue: 0,0:06:08.86,0:06:10.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,splendour.”
Dialogue: 0,0:06:10.70,0:06:13.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,During the Pantheon of Hallownest the Godseeker\Nalso says:
Dialogue: 0,0:06:13.18,0:06:16.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,“We live only to serve the gods, to seek\Nthem out.”
Dialogue: 0,0:06:16.74,0:06:21.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what happens if there are no Gods around\Nfor the Godseekers to attune with? In their
Dialogue: 0,0:06:21.00,0:06:25.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Lament, the Godseekers mention a woeful silence\Nafter the Gods of Thunder and The Gods of
Dialogue: 0,0:06:25.35,0:06:30.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Rain departed them. Also, there’s this line\Nfrom the Godseekers where they ask what gods
Dialogue: 0,0:06:30.14,0:06:34.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,will save them from their silent mind. So\Nyeah, the Godseekers really want to be around
Dialogue: 0,0:06:34.85,0:06:38.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,gods otherwise their mind suffers in silence.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:38.63,0:06:43.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Which brings us to the next part of the story,\Nthe journey to Hallownest. Turns out there
Dialogue: 0,0:06:43.43,0:06:48.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is yet another hidden area in the new DLC.\NThis one happens completely by random when
Dialogue: 0,0:06:48.36,0:06:53.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you Dream Nail the Godseeker in the Royal\NWaterways. Instead of being taken to Godhome,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:53.30,0:06:57.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you are taken to a strange area that looks\Nsimilar to the Howling Cliffs. Here we see
Dialogue: 0,0:06:57.98,0:07:02.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the Godseeker hiding in a cave next to a strange\Ncontraption. The Godseeker talks about how
Dialogue: 0,0:07:02.77,0:07:07.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they will find their way to their new gods.\NAfter you look at the device, you get kicked
Dialogue: 0,0:07:07.33,0:07:10.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,out of the area and booted back into Godhome.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:10.08,0:07:14.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This scene appears to be a memory from the\NGodseeker, showing her journeying out of the
Dialogue: 0,0:07:14.39,0:07:19.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Land of Storms in order to find a new God.\NThe device is likely an older version of the
Dialogue: 0,0:07:19.41,0:07:23.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,God Tuner, an item the Knight receives after\Nopening the cocoon that the Godseeker was
Dialogue: 0,0:07:23.68,0:07:28.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sealed in. The God Tuner seems to have a couple\Nof different abilities, one of which being
Dialogue: 0,0:07:28.46,0:07:33.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the ability to locate powerful beings. It\Nis with this device that the Godseekers were
Dialogue: 0,0:07:33.26,0:07:38.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,able to find Hallownest. In the Pantheon of\NHallownest, just before the Pure Vessel fight,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:38.80,0:07:43.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the Godseeker mentions that the lingering\Npower of the Pale King’s presence in Hallownest
Dialogue: 0,0:07:43.09,0:07:47.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was what lead the Godseekers to the kingdom.\NThe Pale King’s afterglow must have been
Dialogue: 0,0:07:47.21,0:07:51.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,picked up by the Godtuner, leading them straight\Ninto Hallownest.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:51.42,0:07:55.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is where things get a little weird. The\Nnext time we see the Godseeker, she is inside
Dialogue: 0,0:07:55.96,0:08:00.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of a cocoon with a lock placed around her.\NThe Godseeker probably didn’t place these
Dialogue: 0,0:08:00.84,0:08:05.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,chains upon herself, unless she used some\Nsort of reverse David Blaine maneuver, so
Dialogue: 0,0:08:05.86,0:08:10.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it was probably someone else who did this.\NIn one of her dialogues she mentions that
Dialogue: 0,0:08:10.19,0:08:14.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,her sleep was a “forced hibernation”.\NI think it’s worth pointing out that this
Dialogue: 0,0:08:14.65,0:08:18.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cocoon is also called a coffin in the game’s\Ntext files.

Dialogue: 0,0:08:31.75,0:08:36.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there’s the Weavers, but it seems like they\Nwould use spells or spool rather than chains
Dialogue: 0,0:08:36.39,0:08:41.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and a key. So maybe it was one of the Five\NGreat Knight? Possibly the Dung Defender,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:41.27,0:08:47.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the Grey Mourner, or Hegemol, if he’s still\Nalive, that is. Or maybe it was Hornet. But
Dialogue: 0,0:08:47.07,0:08:50.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it seems weird that she wouldn’t warn the\NKnight about the Godseekers if she knew they

Dialogue: 0,0:25:04.36,0:25:09.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,safe to say that ascention makes a being more\Npowerful. The Knight’s ascension happens

Dialogue: 0,0:28:25.36,0:28:30.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the Junk Pit. The Void then erupts out\Nof her, seemingly unleashing itself into the
