    I think if we had a game where PV/THK is the protagonist, we'd occasionally receive three random damage masks. The reason? THK brings back daddy issues.

    Maybe since THK started as a smaller vessel, it can grow and get bigger/stronger throughout the game.

    Possible solution 1: In order to evolve, you must first have discovered all the secrets of an area.

    Possible solution 2: THK has the ability to turn into a shadow and in that form, access areas where only its smaller version could.

    Possible solution 3: Level design is planned with players being at various sizes while exploring so locations have multiple avenues and/or breakable room/area entrances to accommodate for it.

    Kinda like the Katamari games, only less destructive

    I actually feel like it'd be the other way around, THK is an absolute tank and, if we're playing then at full size, would probably be able to shrug off a good number of attacks.

    I've talked about this before, but I think THK should have a very risky heal to make up for the rest of their tanking abilities, I'm talking heal as much as you want but God forbid you get touched during the 3 second animation because you exposed yourself and are down to one mask.

    IMO they should make THK feel like you're a tank that is basically indestructible unless you make the wrong move. Make fights a game of having to prioritize finding and killing the enemies who are able to deal solid damage to you.

    Idk it would definitely need work beyond that, but this seems pretty fun to me.

    If there is a game where we play as the Hollow Knight can we agree that he should get a cool prosthetic arm?

    Maybe have it be made of metal like the shells of those bugg from the City of Steel? (Steel Soul Jinn and the cut Steel Assassin guy)

    parent
  • 3 points AmetsPassarella06

    It would honestly make a lot of sense for these nect reasons: 1. Hollow Knigth is a game of a protagonist being a full on power house that basically dosen't have that much skill but compensates with (you guessed it) extreme raw power both physically and with magic (soul use) 2. Silksong is a game where the protag is an extremely skilled hunter that can efficently use any and every tool/ability that she stambles upon but she lacks way more in the magic/soul/silk (which i believe is a physical form of soul) 3. Hollow is both a warrior with extreme raw power and excellent abilities in the art of the sword and the art of agic/soul use as the Pure Vessel figth demontstrated. In short we had a game of a brute froce warrior, a game with an high skilled hunter/warrior so I believe it only to make sense that the next game could be about Hollow, and my hope is that it could be of him triyng to find a way to rebuild Hallownest or maybe with an already revuved Hallownest but with Hollow that has to defend it during a war. Another extra is that it would be crazy good for me to see Hollow with a metal arm Gatsu style.

    Ok so... We had Hollow Knight explore Pale King's side of things extensively. Then we had silksong explore Herrah's side of things. It would be appropriate to have THK's equivalent put the focus on White Lady in some way. She is the outlier here.

    What if the 3rd game was about THK reaching out for help from other kingdoms beyond Hallownest and even Pharloom. Like a plea for help in a world that sees him as a failure for not being able to protect the kingdom. I feel like that would be an amazing angle to take

    It’d be interesting to see how it’d work since Hollow is significantly larger than the Knight and Hornet. So platforming would need to be scaled up in terms of environment. Also not as nimble so maybe a larger focus on parrying?
