Pick up Hollow Knight on Steam today! store.steampowered.com/app/36...
People have been asking me to play this game for quite some time now. And apparently there's ONE more DLC coming out so I should probably finish it now before there's even more on my plate. I can't stress enough how awesome Team Cherry is. The story of Hollow Knight is a modern Super Meat Boy tale, where from Steam they were able to launch on consoles and keep their game growing, with the latest addition being Hollow Knight Switch. But completing this game is going to be a challenge. With collectibles, speedrun achievements, and: Steel Soul mode. Where, if I die, my save file deletes. I'm going to be on the edge of my seat for the entire Hollow Knight gameplay!
Let me know what you thought about my Hollow Knight review! And be sure to stay until the very end ;)

I highly recommend playing Hollow Knight again with one mod (and its accompanying QoL mods) enabled: Hallownest Vocalized. This does one thing to the game: every character and every bit of text gets VOICE ACTING!
oof
I think godmaster is pretty fair, "oh you want an ending where you become a literal god? ok, but to end as a god, you must become a god"
Yea...but the bindings suck. Especially in the final pantheon
MrGemHunter perhaps I was a bit harsh. The collector having primal aspids and markoth kinda are hard but I’m making slow progress somewhat
Luckily, the bindings aren’t needed to get 112 percent completion. Neither is the fifth pantheon.
Yeah true, but PoH sucks, I think the only way is to get HK on pc so I can cheat my way to the ending ;>
@@Skykayava Cheating is bad. Feel bad.
Not to mention, Hollow Knight is hand drawn and developed by *three* people
it's like cuphead but 100 times better
AchillesIV nah, cup head is a good game but it doesn’t have as much exploration and content as hollow knight and is a lot more linear than hollow knight which can kind of be a bad thing sometimes
And only one of them did all of the art
Not including the composer. And I think one of the people working on it was the marketer
Actually I think William programmed and stuff, Christopher composed the entire OST, and Ari Gibson and his handsome forehead made ALL OF THE ART

“Cheerful for a time, then disturbing and a little upsetting”
Yes, discovering a mass grave of dead children that also happen to be your character’s abandoned siblings would be a little upsetting.
And when the "final" boss starts stabbing himself in the middle of the fight, and by the final phase, can't even complete one of his attacks without falling to the ground.

They were probably dveloping the thing and decided to just make another game. Team Cherry are the devs we need, but not the ones we deserve.
@@NinthSettler The content was too big soinstea dof cutting stuff they made anew game that's even bigger than the og.
Silksong looks great
He'll know when it's voted for next indieland. lol.
May I offer a small correction? Dying during a Steel Soul run doesn't actually erase your save file, it's actually even worse than that. If you fail a Steel Soul run by dying, the save file becomes inert and useless. In other words; your save file dies. And you have to manually erase it, effectively giving your failed run a burial, if you wish to ever use that slot again. It's a walk of shame, and I think that was a hilarious idea by Team Cherry.
LOL, yeahhh I realized that when I died on my first Steel Soul run. I had always heard that (prolly from watching this video) "THE SAVE FILE GETS ERASED"...but I was HEARTBROKEN when I realized the save file STAYS, showing a Shattered Mask forcing you to *erase the save file yourself*....Seeing the save file there kept me hoping like I could find a way to restore it, even though I KNEW there WASN'T....
Jirard is right though.... *STEEL SOUL IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART, YOU GOTTA BE A FUCKIN' SAVAGE AT THIS GAME IF YOU WANT TO ATTEMPT IT.*

Team cherry’s amazing at making games, but better at causing pain
@@TonyEtown420 Steel Soul isn't too bad. It would be if EVERY death counted as a Game Over.

@@WhiteRoninG I’m just starting to look into this game. Why is that though?
@@glengaines4286 we've been waiting for years now for the sequel (silksong).
@@WhiteRoninG Oh I see. That’s a downer. Hopefully soon, yeah? Anyways I’ve decided I think I’ll buy hollow knight and see what it’s about. Fresh off the heels of one of the best games I’ve ever played at that, Hades!
About that hornet dlc, Nah it’s a another game, *have fun doing that 100%*
Jirard: *Flashbacks to Hollow War*
Comments like this make me sorry for them cause that shows that they've been working on this for over a year now and I just want to give them a break.
It apparently isn't going to be not much bigger. It's probably on an average most likely like Torna the golden country in terms of scale for a dlc separate game. 2 massive new areas, but probably very little "story" :/
It’s a full sequel to hollow knight, completely new areas and gameplay. It’s not like the dlc we got for hollow knight, this’ll be a complete game.
Tsyumamatsu TheHavenofGuardia what? It’s confirmed to have more enemies and base songs than the original game. Along with several new areas. Where did you get that from?
Beginning: "Lots of playthroughs needed. A beautifull game that is amazing."
Middle: "A lot of places to explore and amazing bosses. More DLC's on the horizon. Finished most of it. Now for the 112% completetion, the hall of gods."
End: "GO AHEAD! LOOK AT THAT PINECONE! IMAGINE YOU DIGESTING THAT THING! BITE! BY! BITE! No one, and I repeat, NO one. Should attempt completing that...
Good game"
I completed it, can confirm that the pinecone thing is accurate.
I mean I completed it to 112%
@@mettatonsagent7541 the path of pain literally made me cry at the last bit that the succesful attempt took 20 seconds. i took 3 HOURS to beat it
Personally I think getting the Dream No More ending is the hardest challenge a normal player (like myself) should do. It feels like a looming threat of a boss battle, but doable with enough practice. The Godmaster DLC kind of feels like it just shoved its way in there like "If you REALLY want more Hollow knight, you gotta eat a f*cking pinecone. I haven't honed my gamer craft for very long, though, so it might be because I'm not that good
Pinecones are delicious, idk what ya'll are talkin about.
“Getting through the game took me a long time, dozens of hours even”
*sweats at my 102 hours played at 90% completion*
Jirard is better at vidja gamez than I (or you, probably) will ever be. 😓
105% and 56 hours, Nah
I’m at 200 hours and still haven’t beat the last pantheon or absolute radiance. I’m getting so close though
@@trapadvisor bro, 82 hours and 4 panteon, I’m scared
@@mertcat well to be fair I spent 20 hours in forgotten crossroads cause I kept quitting the game for months on end. So you know how people will say some of the fights in this game are like a dance? Well I don’t see it that way for me it’s more like making music because you know what you must do and you have to execute perfectly at the exact time it is called for, with absolute radiance though that is a dance just flowing with the movements and reacting to the patterns naturally. It’s honestly so hard but still doable.
This is the first time I've ever heard someone complain about a game for being *too* good
you don’t watch this channel very often (jk)
6:17 Team Cherry: " Yeaaaaaah, how about instead of a dlc, we give you a full SEQUEL to Hollow Knight! What do you say?!
Jirard: *Shoots Himself*
Imagine if hornet knight has another big dlc that turns into another game
@@andrewhisey1363 wouldn't that just be you playing as the Pure Vessel/actual Hollow Knight? since they was one of the optional dlc characters?

@@Supahcheese At the time of posting, neither, now, I've fought both but haven't beaten NKG
@@Mushboom37 NKG is such a pain in the ass. it took me around maybe 40-50 tries. I don't know. I lost count. xD
Noah Schmick luckily nkg is easy once you get his attack pattern down. He’s quite predictable, just keep at it and you’ll see what I mean
I didn’t get to fight NKG because I banished them not knowing what it would do (I didn’t get the unbreakable charms either ;-;)
Hollow Knight is one game I wish I could erase from my memory, just so I could replay it for the first time again. Hoping for twists in Silk Song.
I felt the same way when I completed both of the Ori games (blind forest and will of the wisps). Also, tales of elysia.
Exacly:) Such a beautiful and fascinating game. Silksong is gonna be great.
@@JH-no9sl I intend to buy ori and the will of wisps soon, once I'm done with Botw. Which is gonna happen in little time, because I'm gonna enter hyrule castle on my next playsession.
I honestly feel the same about Subnautica
To be honest I think we always found ourselves saying ‘hey quirrel’ when we saw him. At least I did for some reason.
yeah
I was always like ayyy it’s quirrel 😎😎
So about that new playable character...
Turns out its a whole new game :P
Dang I wanted to say something like this but you beat me to it.

@@pleasantpeasant1210 how much dose it cost
I feel like I scammed the developer when I bought this during steam sale :(
Luking4Luv I scammed them when I bought it for full price!
Lol, same!! I got it during an eShop sale AND used Gold coins on top of all that lololol my total was $1.68. Totally feel like I scammed the developer too! 😂😖
Yeah I used the game pass and got it for free.
I’ve bought it 3 times and I still feel like I’ve scammed the devs
Thank goodness they released the collector's edition on fan gamer so you can give them the amount they are owed.
27:20 imagine being able to complete all of HK in under 200 hours.
I got 112 in 80 hours and beat PoH with all bindings (not at once) in 120
Honestly a madlad.
@@doubletrouble9923 I got 112% for the first time in under 50 hours of total playtime yesterday. I'm not sure if I'm ready to tackle the Pantheon of Hallownest though...
@@skarkris lol yeah 112 is just a lot of know what you need, PoH is just getting good
I have about 200 hours on the game with about 150 of which are just fighting bosses
I already beat the pantheon of hallownest I just love fighting pure vessle, absolute radiance and the sisters of battle that freaking much
12:44 Nosk in the left corner creepy as hell
I like that for people who are new to the game and might notice that without knowing it's Nosk.
Hollow Knight has become the bar at which I rate other games. I paid $15 for this gem & to be honest it has led to me not buying full AAA games for $60 knowing they cannot match what team cherry did. Love this game!
i missed the anniversary promo priced $9.99. but $15 is still worth it. better late than never
That’s right. I see big budget games with filler and expensive dlc/microtransactions and I think, “But Hollow Knight was large, tightly constructed, cheap and had free dlcs!”
@@tiwitiwi6202 I got it for $3 :DDDDD

What is not perfect in Hollow Knight ?
@@chrisandreas3142 The checkpoint system in Path of Pain. (No, I totally didn't get to the end today, die to the random enemies at the end, respawn at the bench and rage quit)
@@ziwuri thats called like that exactly because of that
I bought Hollow Knight completely blind. Just saw it was on sale on Switch and said "Metroidvania" in the description and I decided to give it a try. This has been the first time since I was a child that I had this feeling of overwhelming excitement for the unknown in a video game. It was an even greater experience than Mario Odyssee or Breath of the Wild because I had no idea what I was in for. Every step was simultaneously enchanting and terrifying. I got Goosebumps every time the environment changed. I just couldn't put it away and though I poured hours and hours into it I was still unable to find every secret and I'm sure I still only know half of what Hollow Knight has to offer.
This childlike wonder I experienced for the first time in Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time. I didn't think I could get there again.
Exact same experience I Had. Love this game.
I got nostalgia chills from your comment. I can totally relate to what you wrote and Mario 64 is also one of my very favourites, for the exact same reason!
Lol same with me. I didn't even know it was a metroidvania. I was expecting a linear 2D platformer. GOD WAS I WRONG
Same here. I loved the graphics and trailer when I saw it in the eshop. It’s now become my most played game and my favorite, even through all my raged screams; it’s still my favorite.
This was my experience exactly. I bought Hollow Knight because it was on sale. I thought I'd just try HK for a few minutes and I ended up playing nothing else for a long time. This game is incredible and I feel like I stole it for getting it at a discount.
Liked this game a lot, but it had too many bugs.
I see what you did there.
HA! Also "BOO!! Such a dad joke"
I have heard this too many times already.
bugging you were they?
We all knew it was going to happen
I love the since of loneliness and solitude you get when walking alone down the endless hallways, leaving you alone with the sound of your footsteps, the occasional enemy, the music , and your own thoughts, which really helps you feel like you are the knight
I’m fortunate that I got to play this game essentially spoiler free. No one told me about it. I just stumbled upon it and got experience everything for the first time like a breath of fresh air. Thanks Team Cherry!
This game makes you feel like a hollow knight
Justin Y. Y Justin.
jokes on you.
it actually does!
God damn Justin Y
This game made me feel hollow...
I’m early this time
Holy sh*t, he actually did the final Godmaster with all bindings, the absolute madman...
I could barely muster enough willpower to REACH the challenge itself
I doubt he did
Yeah I'm sorry, but I'm calling bullshit on that one haha.
the vid shows him fighting Absolute Radiance with all the bindings and then later shows all five pantheon orbs glowing gold in his inventory, so it appears that he did it.
it is hard to believe though. the amount of people who have actually beaten the pantheon of hallownest with all bindings at once could very well be in the single-digits. it's such a daunting and unreasonable challenge that I doubt the developers expected many people at all to do it. the uploader is absolutely right in that it is totally not recommended to try that last pantheon with all the bindings at once. it's sheer insanity.
@@BradTheDead I mean, it doesn't seem so impossible knowing that BEFORE going to the pantheons he first beat all bosses in their radiant difficulty. Once you've done that, the pantheons seem... doable, I guess. Even with all the bindings. But what hurts me the most is that he claims he did all of this within 150 hours of total playtime. I mean... I'm 90+ hours in the game and still haven't beaten the 4th pantheon. And I haven't tried the steelsoul mode yet... This guy's a beast.
@@ChrysothemisJV Same. I'm at a similar point and with similar hours. Compared to this guy, it looks like I have been taking my SWEEEET time.
One of my favorite games if all time, one that includes such a diverse cast of characters like: Gay bugs, Mourning bugs, Dead bugs, Mindless bugs, Atractive bugs, Infected bugs, and a whole lot of other I can't even remember, love this game so much!
Holy shit! mad props to Jirard for completing the 5th panteon with all bindings. Now THAT is a true gaming achievement. Im impressed!
Jirard is actually insane. In a good way. I have so much respect for him
I have a feeling he didnt do it lol
You don't need to do the Pantheons with all four bindings enabled at the same time. You can do them one at a time and still get the Weathered Mask.
Shhh. It's fun to watch Jirard hurt himself.
EvenOdds lolllllllll 😂
Thank god. When Jirard said that I thought to myself “welp, I guess I’m not doing that”. But one at a time still gives me hope...
I mean, if you want that sweet sweet gold shine you have to.
@@panwithapanplan9738 Is the gold shine only for having all four bindings at once? Do you get anything for having two or three bindings?
Did you remember to kill Menderbug?
The Hollow Knight expert has arrived...
But killing Menderbug just makes you feel sad
He didn't mention the Eternal Ordeal either, but from the footage he obviously completed it.
Love your videos man
Hey, lore boi is here!

Don't play many games I see....
The whole time I was thinking "he's not gonna put all pantheons with all bindings in this challenge... It's unreasonable"...
YOU DID IT!
Such a great game! For only $12-15 with all DLC included... it is well worth the money.
Fancy to see you here
Hey man, love your videos.
I love your videos so much and I wouldn’t have beat the game without you
What's the legend doing here?
Darren Lloyd Same here. Thanks to his videos I was able to complete most of it and enjoy the game even more. Still trying to complete the 112% but I cant make it past 106%.

To me Hollow knights narrative is much more meaningful and emotional when compared to dark souls or any other souls game.
I love Souls games (the first Dark Souls has by far the best overall story/lore IMO) but yeah I agree. Honestly Hollow Knight is maybe the apotheosis of both Soulslikes and metroidvanias.
I feel like Hollow Knight takes Dark Souls, removes everything I hate about it, and makes the good things way better
I've played it numerous times and watched countless playthroughs. I feel that I can confidently say that it is the most well designed game ever made.
Until Silksong releases, that is.
The completionist: can't wait to see what gets voted on next year!
... Ok, everyone vote for silksong, let's do this! I'll cover the funeral funds. Atleast there won't be any dlc out yet that he'll have to cover... Probably
so optimistic. Still isn't out, unfortunately. Still working on perfecting it, i suppose.

My personal best indie game of all time. This game made me buy indie games and believe in them. Shovel Knight, Salt and Sanctuary and Celeste are there as well.
Celeste, Shovel Knight, this, and honestly Enter the Gungeon are all ones for me, I just enjoy pixel art quite a lot (I love modern stuff as well though), and they've really been doing some amazing things with pixels lately in my opinion...
Excellent taste!
The game that made me believe in indie games was cave story. I played it on the Wii a few years ago and I'm still blown away by the fact that it took one guy 5 years to make it. It was a true labor of love

Yeah, Grimm Jr. killed one for me and I spent the rest of that day trying to figure out how to kill more
i believe mine was god tamer, but i know your pain. only figured it out because familiar charms are great for exploration.
Literally did the exact same thing, I watched that part and was in shock
I know this is old, but I discovered that using the defender's crest. You can easily kill them by standing close for like 3 or 4 seconds.
"and when an area doesnt have music, you just know somethings about to go down!"
all of deepnest:
well the point of the pantheons for me was the fun of the challenge, I've gotten up to abs rad so far and I've loved every minute of the 300 hours I've put into the game, also beating the pantheons earns mad respect, tho the bindings are too far for me
Game is only $15 across platforms, and it is astonishing how much bang you get for you buck, Phenomenal Game.
Yeah I don't like to equate value directly with length, but with this game I was considering buying it for me Ps4, and buying the Switch bundle with the Hollow Knight plushie... Then I'd have paid $60 and still feel like that would be a deal.
It’s so cheap for being so amazing I’ve been playing it for about two years now and I always find ways to improve and love how different it feels every time you play it.
I bought from Nintendo eShop for around £10.
Something that probably would have helped is knowing that nail arts do full damage with nailbinding on. but still.
*Cries in absolute radiance*
Such a shame they changed it... at least they tried to fix A B S O L U T E while they were at it.
Don't worry, they patched that out; only a total Zote would use that exploit anyway.
For the pantheons, you don't have to do all bindings at once, you just have to do all of them at some point. You can do the same pantheon 4 times, each time with only 1 of the bindings equipped, and still get all the bindings completed for that pantheon.
That's how I did it, I can't imagine the hell he's put himself through ahah
Started this game some time ago, I’m absolutely addicted to it. Beautiful masterpiece
You don't have to do all four bindings in one go, you can do them one at a time. (It changes the bindings to glow gold. I doubt most people care about having a minor aesthetic change.) Doing the bindings spawn lifeblood cocoons in the pantheons, making it easier to complete them. (They give extra health/masks)
Also, doing all the bindings and unlocking the Land of Storms and Weathered Mask Hunter's Journal Entry is not required for any achievements, which... thankful to Team Cherry for that. If you're an absolute masochist who has too much time on their hands, go for it. If you're just the average completionist who just wants to 112% every game they play, you don't have to bother will doing all bindings at the same time.
You've definitely convinced me to buy the game now

Serves as spoiler censorship.
One of the things that makes this game rewarding is that it often encourages you to do the challenging thing for the sake of doing said challenging thing. You're not doing it for the reward, you're just doing it because you want to do it. The radiance is optional. The 5th Pantheon is optional. The trial of fools is optional. But damn it if I'm not going to do it anyway.

You can do it! I thought the same thing before, now I've achieved the weathered mask and the 112% Best of luck to you!!
I love everything about this video. The intro is amusing, and I love the art of The Knight with a Beard.
Ok listen,if anything in this review intrigues you and makes you want to buy this game,please remember this 15 dollars,I have spent over 60 hours on this game and is easily my favourite Metroidvania and in my top 10 games of all time,the art style is great,the difficulty is just hard enough and gives you that “ok just one more try” feeling each time you die and if a boss is too hard you can often go get stronger then come back,each boss is different and fun to fight,they’ll often kick your ass on a first try but when you win it’s an ginormous feeling of satisfaction when you win. So yeah,this game is worth it,would be worth 60 if they put it as that. An easy must buy
I got mine for 10 bucks and bought it with gold points a few weeks ago on my switch. Its a great buy
no man can hold their awe and composure once that City of Tears music begins.
ever hear of the channel 8-bit music theory? yeah, the music is so amazing even when analyzed on a technical level.
Mantis Lords is where it’s at. Also, using vinyl version is the best version.
After ~200 hours of playing the game, I feel like this game has turned me into a completionist LMAO. Before playing Hollow Knight, whenever I would play games, I would just play them in any way I though fun or satisfying, however, with Hollow Knight, I've gotten the drive to do everything. The only achivements I haven't gotten are Speedrun 1-2 and Pantheon of Hallownest. Hell, I beat steel Heart purely on accident, and I got speed completion, again, on accident, in the same save file. Even if there's no achivement for it, I even beat the Path of Pain. There's just something about this game that makes you want to do it all. Makes you enticed to keep playing again and again, and every playthrough feels so satisfying, and it's because you never do it the exact same way, and I love it. Truly a wonderful game that's stolen my heart ❤️
that's exactly how I feel about completing this wonderful game.the combat and lore made me enjoy every second of getting all achivements in this game which is something I don't usually do with other games
when i did my first playthrough, i went to deepnest purely of curiosity... and the part that i will always remember is when the husks shook and then grew long legs and chases at you.
My favorite game of 2018. The DLCs make this game worth more than its price.
LiterallyNick what dlc? Are there dlc to this game?
@@hlk323 the free DLCs.
LiterallyNick oh i didnt know that:) thank you:D
Dude this game out in 2017
I got the game yesterday:( i didnt know
Jirad being a MADMAN completing godmaster with all the bindings and I can't even get pass the normal Radiance.
I suggest soul twister and abyss screech. Radiance loves to hold still and take max damage for it. Just pace it, and you'll obliterate her.
Bruh I got through the pantheon of hallownest before my older brother and I’m only 13
@@mexicanegg1834 you wont get any better if thats what your implying - you would already be at your cap
One year ago, I watched this video and saw this magnificent game. Know I have completed 112%, done all speedrun achievements, and am working on fully completing steel soul mode and godmaster.
Thank you for showing me this perfect game. It is my actual most favorite game ever created, and can't wait for silksong
I just 112 percented the game and decided to watch your video. I think I’ll try to get all the achievements too. I love your channel!
It's probably already been said, but there's no more dlc coming to this game.
That's because Hornet is getting her own game.
*YOU FINALLY COMPLETED HOLLOW KNIGHT*
Now we need to wait for him to complete Smash Ultimate which would be more time consuming
@@IcyCool23 Considering Hollow Knight seems to still be growing...? Probably Hollow Knight.
"a difficult boss"
*Shows video of Nosk*
NKG, PV and AbsRad: "Allow us to introduce ourselves"
Yes, Nosk is even one of the very few bosses I defeated on my first try on my first playthrugh. Very hard boss yes
I love this guy he is just having so much fun!
Looks like Hollow Knight: Silksong is the next game we're gonna vote on ;)
Yes, when it comes out 🗿
Seriously, the pantheons would be very easy and one shot able with the Wayward Compass. You didnt have to go through all of that pain, man.
Dude you earned my respect with this one 👏👏👏
All bindings P5 is absolutely insane, mad props for that one. Gained a sub.
I’m 90% sure this game takes place in a patch of grass outside McDonald’s
there's a pine tree here in Brazil that have edible cones(they look more like huge balls tough). The tree is called Araucaria (it's a weird pine tree the leaves are upwards) and the seeds (pinhão) taste sooooo good after cooked I'm not kidding. I like to eat them with hot chocolate.
They had one that was grown at a zoo in England (Cricket St Thomas before they ruined it); used to love looking at it and always wanted to try and grow one (though I’d be long dead before it grew to any sort of impressive size!) It’s also known as a “Monkey-Puzzle” tree here
@Garfield Arbukle there's a joke about eating a pine cone by the end of the video. I did not come up with this info for no reason.
@Garfield Arbukle this dumbass didn't watch the whole video
nice
I couldnt stop playing this game, its amazingly complex but has so much detail and soul to the world
I can see myself years later proudly having Hallow Knight in my top 3 games of all time
One more DLC? Bah, we were so naive, ITS AN ENTIRE NEW GAME.
“I had to fight difficult bosses one slash at a time”
*Shows nosk*
He just didn't know about the spot.
@@stevenpetrillo9527 The spot doesn't work anymore, they patched it. You have to actually fight it now. It just drops infection on you from the ceiling forever if you camp.
You can still just facetank it to death in ten seconds with Shade Soul, Spell Twister, Shaman Stone, Flukenest and Grubsong like most bosses, though.
@@bluegum6438 you sure? I got hollow knight like two months ago and the soot still works. Ya I have to run away from his ceiling goo attack but other then that its camp rinse repeat.
@@takuame7 yea, killed him for the first time yesterday, the little corner on the left-ish side? Works like a charm
The spot still works. You just have to move when he drops infection, then head back.
Played this game over a Christmas break after one of the hardest semesters of college, good times man.
Is anyone gonna tell this guy he could have the bindings done separately in Godhome 🤣
not if you want them to glow apparently.
Well yes, but when you do them all at one time, it glows and that is pretty cool I guess
A game I've 100%-ed before Jirard, hell yeah! For real though, Hollow Knight is probably one of my favourite games, ever.
The lore is surprisingly deep if you dig into it.
holy crap, I didn't think you were going to tackle the DLC... oh my Godmaster, you really *are* The Completionist :O

"It makes my head shudder uncontrollably." I see what you did there.
