Totally unnecessary things to do in Hollow Knight
ฝัง

- Hollow Knight with such loveable characters and impressive environment and mechanics connects to your soul on a different level, to the point where you even enjoy the smallest tomfoolery. So let's listen to the soothing song of Marissa while smacking the hell out of a crooked banker Millibelle, then toss the skulls of Nosk, villagers and Zote, and spank Bardoo's big bum while also slapping the belly of grub grandfather. But the mischief continues at hot spring and when you collect your reward from the trial of fools. Don't forget the flower for elder and a seat with a maiden and a warrior quirrel. Never forget to bow to the masters but do not try your blow on the guardian of the restring ground. Once you delivered flower to Oro, check up on his brother Sheo and his better half Nailsmith.
Most importantly, learn all Zote's 57 percepts by heart.

SPANK IT
Oh yeah
Lol
;)
S P A N K
Oh yeah
"totally unnecessary things"
"give the flower to elder"
somethings not lining up
Agree
And chilling with Quirrel
bowing to your masters is also important.
You also need to visit the couple for an achievement!
@@Court8 Especially at the lake.
Chill with Quirrel is absolutely necessary, enjoy while it lasts
IT'S THE LAW
@@JamesBucket IT IS
True
What are you talking about? Quirrel never dies, he`s still chilling at the Lake.
Yep.
Definetly.
quirrel drowned himself
and no he did not just "leave"
he left his nail there and as a result have no protection against the wilderness or the bugs of hollownest
the only logical conclusion is that he drowned himself
Totally Unnecessary Things:
1) Save Zote
Totally
Necessary*
I only saved him cause i wanted to fight big cool fly
@Kase Trey yep, if you don't save him there is no way to fight GPzote, witch makes pantheons easier
I hope you sweat hair from now on
Giving the flower to Elderbug and chilling with Quirrel is required by law.
Agree
also listening to Marissa!
I love how this game makes you feel so alone most of the time that it makes you respect every character with a heart.
True
Especially since it's so easy. I mean sit on a bench? Would have done that anyway.
Gift the flower? There's litteraly only a single cralapede along the entire way that respawns once you kill it, as long as you don't bench.
You have no excuse not to give da man his flower
Zote? Don’t you mean The invincible, fearless, sensual, mysterious, enchanting, vigorous, diligent, overwhelming, gorgeous, passionate, terrifying, beautiful, powerful grey prince Zote?
Yea that one
Facing grey prince zote is the epitome of unnecesities
precisely
ur gay
@@iiilliiill6451 k, is that a bad thing
If you don't bow to the masters, you are a monster.
I never bow to sly. He's a prick.
I always like to put on a show whenever the opportunity comes. During the grimm fight I bow at the beginning, during the coliseum fights I'll bow then c-dash to show power, during the pantheons I will swing my nail in the air after every fight until the end, where I give a bow. After mantises will bow, really any combat situation that's less just survival and more for honor I will do my best to show that honor.
@@lynkcrafter8923 bowing to grimm is just wasted soul since you can use this time to dnail him
@@TheGalaxyWings well i dont play the game like some super efficient zero-mistake robot, I play to have fun, and honestly the couple spells worth of extra soul you may get isn't huge anyway
@@lynkcrafter8923 it's worth 8 spells with dwielder + spell twister. So yes, it is huge
17. Bow to the Mantis Lords and Village mantis's
18. Sit in an empty chest (if we fits, we sits)
19. Do a little celebration dance with a newly freed Grub
20. Wait for the False Knights mace bug to start crawling away- and hit it.
21. Summon all charm creatures to be Marissas audience
22. Sit on the pale king's throne
23. Smash the speakers to make the music stop on the tram
24. Use dashes to get as close as possible to the left edge of Howling Cliffs
25. Crystal dash straight from the Stagnest to Dirtmouth
> summon all charm creatures to be Marissa's audience
This is the way.
Bow to the Village mantis' and accidentally kill them with the dream shield ;-;
@@alanmiraanimeNew plan!
17: Start a new save file, remove dreamshield, bow to the mantises :D
I just realized that Millibelle can't hear nor see Marissa because she'd a dream ghost so Millibelle really just was dragged their and then you just sit and stare at her she probably truly feared for her life lmao
As she should.
Good
there*
@@royaltinman2226 CDI Zelda:
@@wildfire9280this goes so hard
I can't lie, i actually endured all of zote's "principles" hoping in an achievement at the end... After i didn't get one i immediately started a new game just to let him die
zote never dies, he just teleports to another plane of existence
I haven't actually met Zote in the game yet, since I somehow missed when you first find him and have to save him. When I eventually found his shell later on, I just went "huh, funny shell easter egg thing???" And messed around with it for a bit. After reading the wiki, I now realize my mistake.
What's ironic is you do get an achievement for letting him die.
“Are you sure you’ve been listening? Lets start over”
His precepts are actually true! I live by 'em!
Ok but can we appreciate how clean all those transitions were
0:48
As clean as the void
0:40- 0:50 were cleaner than my internet connection
Absolutely yes we can.
Literally everyone does transitions now. Why appreciate something unoriginal? 💖
1:11
Bretta: oh, for me? Thank yo-
Vessel: (passes bretta and hands the flower to elderbug like a chad)
Bretta: 😐
Respect elders bitch
as you can see you left me for a guy that almost died to a fly
*you aren't worthy of this flower*
Sigma grindset
@@ninolloydbandiola5581 i mean zote did literally tell her nothing but lies so it’s kinda justified
Buds before sluts
it is very necessary to bow out of respect to the masters and also very important to bow to the mantis lords anytime you pass by
And saying "Ladies" when bowing every time to mantis lords
i do that to i like the mantis lords they should called the mantis queens but i stil love them not as much as my girl cloth and of course elder bug and grub dad and quirrel
i basically bow down to all NPCs and friendly bosses...
Yeah this sadly includes Zote.
not to mention grimm
People might think they are unnecessary, but it's never unnecessary for an act of kindness. A lot of these are cute, i like it
"WHHHHHY?" - Grey Mourner after you ask for another flower for 6873th time
@@JamesBucket just answer: bugs keep falling on me that's why. Totally not because i keep giving away them for free or anything, say you have another?
@@JamesBucket I wonder if there was a thing like when you fail her quest in 64920th time in a row, she says with Thanos' voice: "Fine. I'll do it myself"
@@plaguenplay3516 there isn't, don't ask me how i know that
@@ilvanasgobero8096 how do you know that
When you bring Millibelle to listen to Marissa:
"This is art, APPRICIATE IT!"
Except she can't even hear the singing because she doesn't have a dream nail
@@FlyingLine Yeah
@@FlyingLine The knight would recreate the song but... no voice to cry suffering and all.
@@eunhogarcia5293 well thats shitty lol
@@FlyingLine Who knows
She might've been a moth this entire time
Also: crystal dashing straight from the city shortcut to the Colosseum while everything explodes
That is kind of necessary to go there faster but if it weren't I would still do it
Skipping king's pass from Gorb's grave.
the exploding bug thingies sing perfectly
I'm still mildly inconvenienced by the fact that all but _one_ of the Belflies are triggered in that sequence
*there is no other way。*
I would argue giving the flower to elder bug is necessary. He’s the first bug that doesn’t try to kill us, he has told us all he knows in the hopes of helping us on our quest, and has asked for nothing in return.
yeah i agree tbh everybody agrees look in the comments every body sais it's necessary the guys great agreed
the miner bug in the top entrance to the mines that sings also doesn't attack us🤨
@@trolldier8921 oof spoilers
The crawler at the very start doesn't try to either. It's just got a really sharp shell.
@@DireBowser Yeah but it doesn't deliver any lore
How could you forget canceling a crystal dash above dirtmouth to fall into the crossroads well?
.... how else would you travel?
Or doing your superhero landing when c-dashing from crystal peaks or the cliffs?
Or trying to dive the ancient basin in 1 go.
Or bow to every mantis villager.
@@fermosofiore1336 Oh hey I'm not alone in bowing to th mantis villagers
LMAOO
all of these are required for 113% of the game wdym.
which one?
@@JamesBucket todo (everything)
Say dude
@@obscure_genesis dude
Dude I need that info
I love how Zote keeps talking to himself about his precepts even after Bretta is long, _LONG_ gone lmao
tbh after silksong i’m interested in. brettasong. like what if she becomes badass after leaving hallownest, that would be so cool lol
@@ellw7830 There's a bunch of interesting characters we could see more of. Cloth, Tiso, Quirrel, Sly and his disciples, even Zote himself (was he always like this, for example?)
He likes the sound of his voice
@@MBOmnis but tiso is dead in colosseum
@@LeonisLeonheart Cloth also dies during the fight with the Traitor Lord. But... ya know, prequels exist.
I bow to anything that doesn’t try and kill me.
And some that do. Like Grimm. Also the mantises after defeating the queens.
I'm imagining you stopping to bow to every single npc that is in colosseum's audience lol
What about Grimm?
i always try not to kill anything that doesn't try to kill me but when I have the weaversong charm on and my spiders kill them instead, then I feel bad
not following the precepts smh
First one, giving a flower to Elder and chill with Quirrel are absolutely necessary, you monster
And 12
And 15
yes my man it is necessary axactly everybody keep saying it and it's true
Honestly, when I play the game, I also like to cut the grass or destroy the obstacles... I don't really know why I do so, but it's fun.
Same--I have gotten myself into mantis fights trying to break the mushrooms around them
haha funy nail go slash slash
But that's totally necessary, since there is an entire group of bugs that fix what you destroy and they love it
Ps: just do not try to discover why I know that :(
Watch Skurrys grass% speedrun, satisfaction incarnate
Probably because every single piece of this game is amazing
Sometimes I wish I could spend 24 hours straight just pogoing and dashing above spikes with my dashmaster
It looks so sick
at 1:30 I wish we had the option to press left or right to look around. so when quirrel glances at us we can look at him back
YESSSS
ah yes, the Abyss staring back technique
Giving Elder Bug the flower is 1,000,000% more important than defeating the Radiance. His happiness comes first, Hallownest can wait
9 is not only essential, but I am ashamed there isn't a whole ending dedicated to it
well
there is an ending if you give one to someone else
if you get an ending for giving a flower to Godseeker then there is no reason to not have an ending for giving a flower to Elderbug
He deserves something for his wisdom, giving him a flower is 100% necessary
I haven't yet, but I delivered the first flower and I'm working on it.
Update: I DID IT!
I'll tell you this, I'm glad there isn't an achievement. It just feels now the way it should, I think; that this trip was for the Elderbug, and just because he deserves something nice. Not for a cheevo.
I used to enjoy encountering Zote because of his loveable "all bark and no bite" trope...then I met Bretta's fantasy of him...
Still the reason I haven't managed to clear pantheon 4...
Same here. That's why in my second playthrough, I let him live in Greenpath, but I'm gonna leave him to die in deepnest
“Unnecessary things to do in Hollow Knight”
*Proceeds to name nothing but necessary things*
When Zote said: "LIKE SHARE SUBSCRIBE"... I felt that
Completely unrelated but amazing username.
@@DrFish-qo3tk Are you the radiance RTX on ?
Yes
giving elderbug the flower unlocks the sweetest dialog
Listening to every single piece of dialogue Zote had was frustrating, took way too long but still made me laugh. Even though he is an absolute shitlord, I still absolutely love Zote for how funny he can be
I literally goofy smiled when I realized you could make Bretta blush by sitting next to her. Such a sweet little detail.
If you face right when you sut with her, you can also fall asleep on her a little bit after she blushes, it's so adorable.
I don't know why this Don't Starve channel is making content about my favorite game, but I don't mind at all.
Friendship end with don't starve, not Hollow knight is mah new best friend
Blueberry SpillsInk and silksong is the imaginary girlfriend.
@@Sito1479 lmao
He isn't a don't starve channel, he just makes a bunch of DST content
@@jwalsh0130 That is the same thing
I was terrified every time you walked toward Marissa. Thank you for sparing my heart.
And those transitions were perfect every time! Beautiful!
It is better to dream nail ver so her conscience enters the dream nail and join all the other conscience and memories inside the dream nail, so she will have public again and would never be alone
@@gusy1902 I always thought the Dream Nail took the ghost and turned it into essence, killing them for good. Instead of letting their dream live on as what it was.
@@gusy1902 wait that’s a really sweet way of seeing it! i didn’t realize dreamnailing ghosts killed them in my first play-through and i tried dreamnailing marissa to see what she was thinking, i was so sad dude i tried going back in and out of the room to see if she’d come back so many times 😭 i hope this is what happened instead of me accidentally killing her jsbdksf
I dreamnailed everyone in the game, even the poor souls in the resting grounds, but I couldn't ever dreamnail Cloth or Marissa
@@bugsnkisses same with me! After accidentally dream-nailing Marissa, I just sat there in my sofa with my head all hanging up, wondering "Damn... Fuck this, i'm definitely restarting this save and starting over", but then I realized that this was my first playthrough.....
I am so pissed off that. On my first time through when I knew nothing about the game, my friend convinced me to kill Marissa. He told me that doing that would get me lots of lore stuff. I didn't want to kill her, bit at the same time I wanted lore stuff. So I killed her, which then my friend proceeded to call me a horrible person for doing so. I am still pissed off by that to this day.
I did it too my friend, you're not alone
I did it by accident when I forgot what happens after picking up the game again. R.I.P
I did it because I was still learning about how the dreamnail works. It's really frustrating that the game doesn't tell you who will disappear forever if you dreamnail them, you just have to figure it out. I would never have done that if I'd known.
I did it too. The dream nail never felt so wrong. Biggest regret of my playthrough
Well someone's gonna fucking die
Chilling with our boy Quirrel is absolutely one of the most necessary things you must fo in this game
These transition are so cool
COULD YOU IMAGINE SPENDING ALL THAT EFFORT TO LITERALLY GIVE THE ELDER THE FLOWER.
FOR NO REASON BUT TO LOOK AT HIM HOLDING A FLOWER.
I'm doing it.
I'm still so mad that you can only give one nail master the flower. Mato, Sly, and Sheo (and nailsmith!!) deserve flowers, too. :<
Also I *really* wanted to give one to the old stag. Imagine how cute that would be!! He could wear it on his saddle. Plus Iselda deserves one.
Team Cherry flower update when?
The flower gets destroyed by riding on stags though, so maybe a special protection spell before giving it to him hehe
People talking about wholesome thing restore my faith in humanity
fr gotta show appreciation to nail dad, nail grandpa, artsy nail uncle (and his hubby). but im glad that out of all of them its grumpy nail uncle that gets the flower. bro needs it.
I like how all of these things are genuinely unnecessary but it's what makes the game so endearing in my opinion. It brings the story and the characters to life in a way
Fun fact: Millibelle can't actually see or hear Marissa because you need the Dreamnail for that. So what's happening from Millibelle's perspective is that the Knight kicked her down the stairs into a corner of that dark, empty room down there, and then sat down between her and the exit and just... _stared_ at her.
Marissa is one of the most memorable moments of the game for me. To me Hollow Knight was all about the adventure. The little moments were just as important as the fights, it made the game all the more rewarding
I personally like 2 think all these "unnecessary" things show off the Knights personality more! They're not hollow, they still do. Well childlike things like splashing in the hot springs, playing with the various skulls they find, just sitting and hanging out w various characters. It makes them feel a little more real :]
I love that the game that makes you go crazy can also be so wholesome from making you want a scream after trying to kill a boss to just chilling with bugs and giving them a flower
The reason why I love this part of Hollow Knight so very much is that it speaks more than anything else to the possibility of the Knight having a personality. The fact that there are options to sit with Quirrel, to juggle shells, to be a dick at the hot spring, all of the choices that are available (and the ones you choose to do) are, to me, examples of options that are only available because the Knight WANTS to do them. I have so much love in my heart for this fucking creature
You actually need to go see the the couple for the “Happy Couple” achievement! Not completely useless:)
You also have to play with zote's shell to fulfill an achievement
Are they still there if you decide to kill the nail smith?
@@shlimon7667 no, you killed him afterall
@@shlimon7667 no, there are two achievements and you must only choose one per save. Kill the nailsmith, or spare him and encounter him at Sheo's house.
Wow, really?? I had no idea about that, damn!
Listening to Myla's humming after a perilous journey through Deepnest or The Abyss is one of the most soul-repairing experiences I've ever had with a videogame.
oh no
;v; why.
...☠️
I understand the very well-made and edited comedic value of this video, but these are some of the things I treasured most in this game. I’ll never forget how I felt the first time doing them.
I was always excited when meeting Quirell he always had that chill vibe but in a serious way.
@@technobladeneverdies8570 Like you KNEW he was important.
After sitting through all of Zote's wisdom, he actually does say a few things that are important about the world. But only a few... and they are not all that helpful
0:07 Totally yes I've been standing there like 2 minutes expecting her to finish but then I realized that her singing is in a loop
Making the lady blush is like my favorite thing to do in the game
Listening to Marissa sing is absolutely necessary and you can't tell me otherwise.
How dare you, #9 is *absolutely* necessary!
I nevwr knew you could give the flowe to oro.
Living and learning i guess
The cute thing is Oro acts like he doesnt want it, then you go back and see he put it in a vase.
Why can't I give it to papa Mato? He deserves it more.
Keep in mind, we have the dream nail, which grants us the ability to see ghosts in certain spots in the game. So basically it would look like ghost is just staring at nothing
0:54 you can do that to quirrel too in deepnest hot spring
You forgot trying to descend down into the abyss without hitting any platforms on your way to the bottom. You can also use descending dark for style points.
The first time I listened to Marissa with Millibelle was my last time I could listen to her...
Playing with Zote's shell actually unlocks the 'Neglect' achievement, so it's not unnecessary at all
Me: listen's to Zotes wisdom
Everyone:That's a good wisdom
HEY YOU FORGOT THE TRYING TO DESOLATE DIVE TO THE BOTTOM OF ANCIENT BASIN!
I may not like zote but some advice makes sense, like the one where he tells you to not try and breathe under water
THAT EDITING THO HOT DAMN
and no mom I am not crying watching a video about minor bug gameplay quirks
Marissas voice is so beautiful, I feel guilty now for dream nailing her🥺
Whatd it say?

1:48 In wilds beyond they speak your name...
For a moment I was afraid “Don’t bow to Grimm” would be on this list
i am proud to admit that i had read trough all zote's percepts and got my life changed
Those were some unironically fantastic transitions, great job :)
I love how people in the comments seem to do at least 70% of these.
Did 100% of this lol
Bro dropped the smoothest transitions EVER and thought we wouldn’t notice.
2:17 I swear I´m hearing zote say "this man uploads" at the perfect timing
The couple isn’t unnecessary, it gives you an achievement
0:21 while doing that I accidentally naildreamed marissa and I was si fucking SAD I’M DUMB
Those transitions man, they were better than some movie transitions I've seen. Round of applause to you my dude
damn - you did real good with the transitions in this!
Also proud to say I did 99% of these
This was a really relaxing video, quite unusual for your videos
Finally I can't be without a doze of James Bucket
As far as I’m concerned ALL of these are COMPLETELY NECESSARY
My mind was like "Oh haha I have done all these things except tha… where are the grubs, WHERE ARE THE GRUBS?" 0:45
I love hearing Zote talking about bubblies for some reason
2:10 that is cute. I didnt know that can happen. I suppose it can only happen if you dont kill the blacksmith..
I don’t play hollow knight nor do I know much about it, so this is a lovely introduction
“ *be a jerk at the hot spring* “
After not looking at a youtube video and getting lost somewhere in that city, chilling with Quirrel was 100% necessary
Zote convinced me! Honestly I was surprised that I hadn’t subscribed before
This game is so sad, I’m glad we could do fun things in it :)
Very nicely edited together. Great job, keep it up!
Chilling with Quirrel gives you strength and makes you feel some kind of way
1:22 flower for elderbug is not unnecessary it is needed
Totally unnecessary things THAT YOU MUST DO in Hollow Knight
Every time I saw Quirrel in this game I was filled with pure joy
I wish you could play as him
The transitions on this are fantastic
This was the video that convinced me to buy the game, just so I could do all the totally unnecessary things.
Oh I see you also have rescued Zote and regret now 😆
Looool that editing!! Simply magnificent 👏👏♥️
You got me as a new subscriber with your zot talk!
Be a jerk at the hot springs lmao... that one made me laugh
no one:
the subtitles at 1:53
- bye obama
I like to sit on benches with the Grimmchild in my company so it lays down for a rest right next to me. So cute.
I did the same thing when I found Mirabelle, just brought her to Marissa
