Hollow Knight- Exploring Cut Content and Secret Rooms
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ต.ค. 2024
- There are a lot of extra rooms that never made it to the final version of Hollow Knight. Many of these rooms have art and are built out while others are totally empty. In this video we will explore in depth all of the different rooms that were left in the background of the game.
These levels were only left over in the background up until version 1.0.3.7
If you want to try this cut content mod for yourself here is all of the info:
1. Downpatch to 1.0.3.7:
• Hollow Knight- How to ...
2. Download cut content patch: www.moddb.com/...
HOW TO USE:
Press the 'F2' key to cycle through the following unused scenes:
Additionally patch enables 'debug buttons' used by the developers.
Press the 'End'/'Quote' key to show the scene name and other information in the upper right-hand corner. Press the 'Home'/'Semicolon' key for additonal information such as scene loading time.
Pressing F2 too quickly might result in the player accidentally leaving the next scene and causing issues.
Some of the rooms connect to other existing rooms gracefully, others will break the game and you have to Alt-F4 out. But it is interesting to note what the rooms were meant to connect to.
Note that the bench in the first room is functional. If you want to use the save game file later, be sure to save at a different bench.

1 - I believe this area was meant to be a part of the Weavers’ Den, maybe even where you found the last Weaver?
2 - Team Cherry had originally planned that you you would fight the dreamers, so this might be Monomon’s boss arena.
3 - I think this is where you find the shrine of Believers. That’s it.
4 - There were originally going to be swimming areas, & this looks like an underwater section.
5 - It’s possible this is the area that would connect Forgotten Crossroads to Fungal Wastes.
6 - See number 4.
7 - I think it’s just a random room in the Crossroads.
8 - This Room is likely a platforming section with crushers in the Crystal Peaks.
9 - I think this is the area connecting the crystal peaks to Forgotten Crossroads. You probably had to beat a boss to get into the Peaks, or maybe to get the Crystal Heart.
10, 11 - Nothing to say.
1. I was surprised that it was actually attached to the white palace area.
2. I didnt know they planned a fight. That is interesting. Someone else said they would all look the same
3. I agree
4. I think they wanted to explore the idea of an under water area and we will get something like that in silksong
5. I agree
6. ok
7. yeah I agree
8. I agree, I am glad they made the area much more grand
10 could possibly be for the moss prophet
9-i think you would have to fight a mining golem, like the one that you get the crystal heart from -or use the crystal heart to defeat it.
jamboy: games and animation!
The crystal rock art in the room to the right of the arena might yield a charm that was scrapped, but the raised section reminds me of mask shards
Well, originally all Dreamers looked the same (for example, in the Forgotten Crossroads, if you look at the entrance to the room that has the black egg temple, there are three Monomon masks.
It really would have been more interesting if you fought the Dreamers.
I thought there would be a mr. Mushroom palace
That would have been awesome
69 likes cannot do anything
@@jonnyp1340 211
@@Zirv 1.1
Why would there be a palace? Palaces are for kingdoms, but kingdoms (unlike Mr Mushroom) crumble to dust eventually.
**literally just a room layout with nothing inside**
**proceeds to beat everything in the room hoping for something to happen**
Why not? That’s how you find the secrets!
@@RelyeaGaming yup
"Very interesting"
50% exploring
40% hitting walls

I wish they didnt cut out the snail city
I know, that would have been awesome.
Jay Retcon R.I.P. snails
Oof there just buff snailz
yea, I remember when watching the trailer and seeing that huge snail, I would have loved to see that in game
@@Reewen There is a huge snail, called Unn you need to explore more to find them
The crystal mine boss battle probably would have been a functional version of one of those mining golems you get the crystal heart from!
That would have been epic to see
26:08 that looks like an area with a reward for defeating the boss
I think you are correct
Sharp shard: like SS but instead of shade, it's Crystal heart.
Crystal spike: turns howling wraiths/abyss shriek into a large volley of spikes.
Shard summon: summons a small shardmite that can help the player.
And now, to the descriptions..
Sharp shard description: a small module inside all mining robots, it helps cut through even the hardest stone.
Crystal spike description:lost in time after a failed exploration that left many trapped. Now burrowed through and made a creatures lair.
Shard summon: a large, ancient shardmite was hibernating in their pit, a small Crystal broke off, and fell into a small, narrow light.
After a few years. The Crystal was found and enchanted by the shamans. And was placed in the same tomb the shardmite was left in.
Relyea I think it would have been the crystal heart so you could then take a shortcut back? Something along the lines of:
Make it hard to get to the boss
Fight the boss
Get crystal heart
Use crystal heart to take a shortcut back.
I think the no curved thing you mentioned was that there are no diagonal floors. Everything is left, right, up, or down no combination of them in the way that the knight can travel along the floors and walls if that makes sense. Like in Mario you know how you can make him slide down the hills? There's nothing like that for hollow knight.
Yeah, It is interesting how simplistic it all is and yet does not feel that way at all
18:57 this was supposed to be a swimming under water or acid section
That makes sense
I think the big crystal room was a bossfight area and maybe it was guarding the crystal heart
That is very likely
That would have been awesome
@@indisciipline i kinda wish that we had a crystal boss guarding the crystal heart, or mabye like it chasing the knight requiring quick platforming
@@MartinGecko A chase section would be very cool! I think we don't have anything like that in Hollow Knight yet
I would've loved to fight one of the mining golems.
I think the moth statues room was the old Boss room for markoth
The name of the room implied that it was in the resting grounds and it has the same ledge for getting into the secret backer room.
@@RelyeaGaming It seems like the back area of the resting grounds would possibly screen transition into the statues room. If so the area seems a lot more detailed than the current location.
Resting grounds 11 looks like it might have been considered for the location of the dream shield charm.
That is possible
14:47 so apparently, this area was meant to be a place where you would have gotten the ability to swim underwater
Yeah, from the super early footage. What would have been interesting
Oohhhhhhhhh we doing some fancy lore stuff today, can’t wait!
Not sure how much lore is in here but it was really fun to explore
Actually the being in the dream_guardian room is an early version of the dreamers. All the dreamers were going to look exactly the same (monomon's mask with lurien's body) but were changed to be the three distinct dreamers we know now.
Very interesting! thanks for sharing that info
All those details. Cannot imagine what they do for silksong.
It’s going to be amazing!
That big moth room looks like it could be an early stag station for the resting grounds.
ahh good call
Well that would make sense for size reduction unless they wanted an easter egg like this
Nice vid
I was surprised that these rooms lasted as long as they did
So excited for Silksong! I bet they realized they had so much extra content that they could use for the next game. Can’t wait to see!
They reached a kick starter goal to add a second playable character. They didn’t tell us who but it was rumored it Willis be hornet. The entire time they were making DLC they were also worming on hornet and her move sets. They had so much fun with it they just built out a second game
6:26 I think hornet would have had a room there because she is the pale king’s daughter so she would have had a room near the palace
RestingGrounds_11 looks like a room where ideas were being tested. We can see the ledge that would in the main game lead to the Shrine of Believers, and so many statues and monuments of different sizes are plastered around which can mean that the optimal amount and size of these assets was tested. That's my theory.
Cut content is always fun to explore
I feel like all of the coral things were part of the underwater segment that got scrapped
I think the first one would've been a part of the Weaver's Den, Ive heard of people saying that it is Hornet's room (because of the needles) however I think needles are just the Weaver's/Spider's preferred weapon instead of nails, which makes sense since they use silk and stuff.
I think the Greenpath 'underwater' area would have been right under the Lake of Unn, where you'd meet Unn, and maybe fight an underwater boss and get Shape of Unn
I wonder if shape of unn would have had features that improved a potential swimming ability
I think that the Resting Grounds room may have been a room connecting the Forgotten Crossroads to the Resting Grounds due to the fact that it has darker colouring and rocks but it might also be part of the Cliffs, but that’s less likely
I'm pretty sure the church room might have been for the Moss Prophet, since the area he's in has that church vibe to it, and is the only thing in the game I can remember that fits that sort of theme
14:38 the recent trailer was shown in underwater section means the Knight can actually swim underwater like a mini game
Are you talking about the silksong trailer with hornet?
that second room was probably some behind the scens of the stagways
Could be
in the coral looking area, it was meant to be the substitute for fog canyon and you were meant to be able to swim in it, hence the reason you cant walljump very high in the area
Neat to see this again. I played it awhile ago but it was a refresher of what we missed out on in the full game.
...I was hoping for a Path of even more pain but you get what you get.
More pain would have been fun
I am surprised that you didn’t hit the Geo in the crystal boss room.
Well, Hornet should've had 2 rooms. 1 in Beast's Den and 1 in either inside or outside the White Palace. Because, after Herrah's death, Hornet would've still been little and had to stay with the Pale King. But originally, she would've had to stay with Queen Vespa to train, why named Hornet.
Good call
Maybe that massive room is multiple rooms but they didn't add the room barriers and transitional entrances and exits. Imagine taking all of the Forgotten Crossroads and having it in one room without it being split up. That's gotta be why the room is so large.
This place look very, VERY similar to either a deep nest labryth or an entire extra area to greenpath
I think unn was a bigger deal and part of his area and story was cut
I kinda wanna bet that the section of fungal waste that looked like unn's place was supposed to be an underwater section.
really interesting seeing all of this! Thanks for letting us have a glimpse of all of this! :)
You are welcome. I hope you enjoyed
I want them to add a dlc with those rooms
@Relyea at 18:31 it’s possible to see an opening in the roof… I know the video is 3 years old, but this keeps me up at night
In hornets room the background has an object that looks like the pumpkin bomb we saw in the slick song trailer
great catch!
Aww yes! Another vid! How you doing?
I am doing great! it is Friday and life is good
Thats awesome to hear, and i have some theories. The green coral looking room was maybe a place where you would just get a standard charm, and in the pit maybe a dreamer moment would happen where you would trigger a cutscene, much like in Greenpath or Resting Grounds, and maybe, just maybe, thats where Team Cherry decided to cut it out of the game, and rework it, to be in Silksong as the coral place. But, that is a very speculative thing, so take it with a spoonful of salt ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
The resting grounds room might be the old dream shield place from the little background featue
lmao Cornifer being the cartographer he is went and explored the cut content file before we did.
9:48 this room was probably the secret room where you dreamnail the moth statue. it really is a shame they replaced it; i think this room is just absolutely beautiful.
btw, there are 3 moths in that room, not only one
Dude your gaining so many subs I’m so happy for you!
Thank you very much. I’m hoping that one day I can make this a full time gig. I just want to produce more content
Relyea keep it going man In just a couple months you’ve become one of my favorite youtubers thanks for being a solid dude 👍
Thank you, That means the world to me
How has this video been made for over a year and i just now see it??
I really think that large green area is actually underneath the Lake of Unn and is not meant to be underwater. As you can see green droplets dropping down indicating there is a body of acid above. It’s in Greenpath already as well and used the same design as the area before the lake of Unn. Seems pretty plausible to me.
Dude ur awesome love ur Information and comments
Thank you so much. It is very much appreciated. Just let me k ow if there is anything I can do to help
i think that area who looks like lake of unn was meant to be an area from the hollow knight trailer where he could swim, that's why it's hard to climb it
I think you are correct. I need to go look at that trailer
That moth temple looked crazy cool °_°
there is actually a room in the current game where you break a wall and get into the room and in the game file they call it Hornet_Room (I believe that's what its labled, I dunno)
I think I know what you are talking about. In deep nest right?
the resting grounds 11 room i could see a secret dream room with no combat but the way of entry is by dream nailing Markoth's corpse or dream nail the Seer and the room explains the past of the moth tribe and somewhat explains Radiance's past but the when the area is over the moth scenes your presence and kicks you out in the ruins of the building and you break a wall just to see you at, the resting grounds, kingdom's edge, forgotten crossroads, howling cliffs
🤔
Anyone notice the bells hanging from the ceiling at 6:38, in the silk song trailer nearly everything is linked to bells, could this be related?
Maybe The Resting Ground was meant to replace the little moth area in the blue lake area with all the graves of warriors and bugs. But maybe removed due to time constraints. Maybe there was meant to be a charm in there too. Or maybe it was for the moth dude who gives you rewards for getting enough dreams off of dream trees and enemies.
They were thinking of making a swimming function into the game where you swim under the water but the game got too big so that's why all of those rooms were so built out and had awkward jumps in them
that makes sense
Room church might've been somehow connected to the dreamers as they were supposed to be very different from what we have now and there was an old screenshot of what looked like guardians of some sort to the dreamers
Its pretty staggering how much TC wanted to add to the game but just scraped like having to fight the 5 great knights and not only ogrim or false knight or having that swimming area which would've been super cool or the complete rehaul of the dreamers or what I'm most bummed about, that giant spider looking boss that was teased in the end of one of the first trailers
25:00 so there actually could’ve been a good boss fight in Crystal Peak. C’mon TeamCherry why’d you remove it.
Cool cool... but where's the extension to deepnest the game desperately needed?
Im a bit late on this one, but im guessing the Hornet room is there because its near white palace where the king was because shes the princess
9:20 I think that was supposed to be a transition from the crossroads to resting grounds. But it got replaced by the tram
10:20 That room looks like that one room where the Knight swam upwards as it was covered in acid / water. You could see that in the one trailer from 7 years ago i think. but it got scrapped. EDIT: OMG 19:15 Actualy looks like that area! I can't believe they still had that in
Some of the rooms look like they ended up in the game still just in different areas. The one with all the vines where you skillfully got up through the ceiling looks like a section of deepnest with different texture. Probably not the case though. I'm over 100 hrs in this game now. I can't freakin put it down
It’s such an amazing game. I know the feeling
I bet fungus1_33 was the original location they wanted to put Unn, somewhere in the fungal wastes instead of greenpath
Anyone else miss the mustache? Relyea had one of the best and most fitting mustaches I've seen someone have. It was cool.
I wish I could keep it. The stage was outside of military regs
Oh, it is weird to see Relyea without his sunglasses. Not bad, I'm just so used to his sunglasses look.
The room "church" could be in Siksong, in the demo there was a chuch as well
Do moreeee cut content!! Awesome video!!!
This was all the cut content that was left in the game
Relyea oh ok. I thought there was a snail village too
@@SSE7777 I know there was more cut content but the other stuff did not make it into the game files. They were scrapped before making it that far.... at least that is my understanding...???? I dont know
Relyea that’s weird because I’ve seen footage of the snail village. But anyways thank you for showing what is available
There were videos of other cut areas that were part of trailers. Those areas did not make their way into the game in the same way as these un-used rooms
Yay! All of this is very interesting
I am glad you enjoy it. (don't keep the video a secret)
The stag station room was not in the ancient basin until the Hidden dreams update
Super cool!
Dude i love ur vids thx
You are the best. I appreciate all the support
2:34 Could also be somethings skin, you know how snakes shed their skin?
Good call
The large blue and green room with all the little nooks and crannies reminds me of the area in the Mantis Villiage before getting to fight the Sisters of Battle. Maybe you have to flip some switches to work your way down to the large area at the bottom for a fight, then all the little areas you said could hold chests or charms would be unlocked after the fight?
Perhaps it would be more of an ambush situation, then you unlock a vessel/mask shard like in the city of tears. Thoughts?
An interesting idea. The last bit could easily be a boss fight
@@handle29q0 That would have been interesting as well
That area with no textures seems a little like a very early version of the mantis village, idk why
25:33 how could you not go for the geo???
Your right! I should have. I was blinded by the room
For last room, it's possible this may have been a room for the Holy Land cut location and stuff judging from the church name. It's neat to see it at last have a room possibly developed if such is the casee but it may not really be true
Wow It wasn’t to long ago that you had your 10k stream and know your almost at 20k! That’s just insane you make such great content you really deserve it, on the side note do you think hollow knight has spiked in popularity because of its recent attention from bigger youtubers I mean game theory’s video on hollow knight was trending.
Thank you for the kind words. I fully believe that the interest is up due to bigger youtubers. There was no marketing budget for Hollow Knight at all. That and the game has been slowly releasing to almost every platform. It took a long time before it came to Nintendo Switch, then to xbox and PS 4 then to physical versions and so on
What is your favourite controller to play hollow knight? Btw love the vids
I like the nintendo Switch Controller but Xbox works too. I'm bad at keyboard and mouse
@@RelyeaGaming Pro or joycons?
I use a pro all day. Joy cons wont cut it
When you hear people saying I can't wait for Silkstone with post over 2 years old
Hope we have it before 2030
room church reminds me of either god home or the room you went to fight the radiance and hollow knight
27:17
Ah yes, Grooze mother
18:31 secret passage leading up
The cut content I wanted the most is the playable zote one. But hey at least hornet. Even if you hate zote you can make him die as much as you want.
I’d take playable hornet over zote any day
23:51 Maybe that would lead to the Crystal Guardian's house, he probably had a house or something before he was infected, I mean, who doesn’t?
Homeless people ?
Awesome vids if it weren't for you I wouldn't of made it this far in hollow knight
I’m glad I could help. Let me know if you get stuck anywhere
There’s even more content in hollow knight 😱😂
I will keep going as long as I can. If I have to make videos on every charm location I will.
He hit a breakable thing at the beginning right as he said "i wOnDeR iF i cAn bReAk aNyThInG" and then walked away and it pissed me off
18:30 you've missed a way up to probably another room
Sharp shard: like SS but instead of shade, it's Crystal heart.
Crystal spike: turns howling wraiths/abyss shriek into a large volley of spikes.
Shard summon: summons a small shardmite that can help the player.
And now, to the descriptions..
Sharp shard description: a small module inside all mining robots, it helps cut through even the hardest stone.
Crystal spike description:lost in time after a failed exploration that left many trapped. Now burrowed through and made a creatures lair.
Shard summon: a large, ancient shardmite was hibernating in their pit, a small Crystal broke off, and fell into a small, narrow light.
After a few years. The Crystal was found and enchanted by the shamans. And was placed in the same tomb the shardmite was left in.
These are my theories. Hope u like em.
I love hearing all the theories
I wish hollow knight game will have an underwater area one day
The next one might
In the resting grounds one you could desolate dive the floor right at the right side
things I want to see:
-smoother surfaces
-maaaaaaasssiveee rooooomms
For hornet's room the name was abiss 07 ant the tunnels were reminiscent of the tunnals in the abiss leading to the shadow cloak
Most of fungus is actually underground in a thing called mycelium at which this background is reminiscent of and i see that the fungis doesent show on the map so maybe the fungis rooms were an early version or lower part of the fungis we have now
Cut content.. words are for you alone.
You weren't good enough.
Sadly, these places did not make it
Thats a LOT of lore to talk about in these rooms
I wish I knew more about the lore to be honest
Fungus 1, looks like it's suppose to have Boss fight in that pit.
Everything about hollow knight is interesting for me qwq
I feel the same way!
@@RelyeaGaming ^w^
I'm fairly sure 19:00 was somehow meant to connect greenpath and fog canyon
Make a video about Dream Nail-ing all of the creators in Resting Grounds.
I have never attempted but a good idea
@@RelyeaGaming And one more question... Do I have to kill nailsmith in 112% run?
Dude that empty spot in the moth place hit the ground
26:14 im thinking this is where you would get crystal heart because theres a crystal dash tunnel next to it
Fungus 3_31 looks more like some thing that would be in the royal waterways. Looks more like coral and the blue background with light reflections seems like the Bluewater should have been overlaid on top.
Interesting. Very well could be
