- A reimagining of the second boss fight between the Knight and Hornet.
Totally inaccurate but just wanted to create something fun and frantic!
Thank you Team Cherry for creating an awesome game and lookin' forward to Silksong! - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Hornet: Defeated. "Fine, you've won. Just finish me quick."
Knight: "I wonder where the next grub is."
lol
honestly so true im just trying to find some essence and maybe some grubs
Me when I get dash
MMMMMMMMMMMMM TIME TO FIND GRUBS FOR THE NEXT 5 MINUTES
Bruh
Maybe I can get that King's B-
Oh. A grub.
For Hornet this was the most difficult battle of her life. For the knight this was Tuesday.
I second this
I call the knigth Ghost
Lol
By Wednesday its off to kill god
a tuesday after tacobell.
i love how the knight is either a wholesome bean or an emotionless void
Void
What will he say about it: ……………..
Like Kirby
Or both
wholesome void :3
Finally, for once an animation that actually gives the hollow knight the canon personality of near-complete apathy rather than acting like a toddler.
Fantastically done animation.
Well, that's more or less up to the player imo. Sure we can't talk but there's plenty of small moments to show that we do care. Meditating with the nailmasters, sitting lakeside with Quirrel, delivering the flower/giving it to other npcs etc. Ghost's apathy is entirely dependent on player behavior.
@@scytherind8928 You missed the word "near".
@@daenite2480 I actually did. That's my bad
@@scytherind8928 and some players are, to put it lightly, unique
"the *hollow* knight"???
I like regardless of anything that happens Ghost is just like:
“Ok.”
Well technically speaking, ghost HAS to be emotionless, otherwise they wouldn't be able to imprison the radiance.
@@redgarlicbred6228 genuine question, can u explain why?
@@variasifiksi9788
The Radiance uses emotions and thoughts to control people. The Hollow Knight failed in his mission to contain it because he developed a familiar love for his father the Pale King. The Ghost, doesn’t possess such weakness as emotion and so is completely indifferent to the world around him.
@@pillowmcnormalman2753 you just made me realize that Ghost is a sociopath. The protagonist is a serial killer. Huh.
@@crunchymunchyblue Yep.
I like the Knight's character. It's small and unassuming on the outside but there's some eldritch horror within that shell.
As someone who has played this game a lot this comment is surprisingly accurate to the lore
yeah pretty cool
Good job for being articulate enough to explain what's so great about his character design. Did a much better job than I could.
I am proud to say that I am the 1,000th like of this comment. And yeah, I really love the Knight's character here!
@@jannmikoingelrabagogamingc6012 Thanks
I love how the little ghost’s eyes don’t change shape to show any emotion unlike hornet, a nice touch and looks very funny
Yeah, it would have been cool in the game aswell
It looks cute aswell
Finally, an animation accurately showing how siblings feel when they fight.
* me and my sister after I eat the final cookie*
Bro, seriously tho- and you just know it’ll be something dumb, like eating the last popsicle
YES 10000% accuracy at least in my family that’s how we felt
Fr!!! This is Soo relatable to me and my younger sister Blair!!!
With me, my li'l brother is the only one to fight.@@AuroraJolley
I love how different their styles are.
Hornet flips and swerves in an acrobatic fashion (even using 3/4 spins in her normal attack combos) and readily twirls and flourishes her needle. Even her dodges of the Crystal Dash were smooth and graceful,
whereas the Knight is always straightforward and efficient, using Nail Arts, like at 2:05 only when useful and opportune. Like, they hardly even move as they use their spells.
Hornet even takes full advantage of the Knight's head-on fighting style to get them stuck in her trap, though their arsenal and sheer reaction time got them through in the end.
That being said, Hornet's elegant fighting style proves the be the thing that allows the knight to blindside her with an full power abyss shriek
@@Eedden42 although not important: abyss shriek is not available because you need the king's brand to get it. What the knight used was howling wraiths.
forgot to mention that hes a parry god
@@cyandude3664 Well, it looked exactly like an abyss shriek so that's what I'm calling it.
@@cyandude3664 Ghost o Hornet?
Great job! This was really fun to watch.
Agreed they did a really great job with this animation
What’s up firb0rn. Totally agree, they did amazing.
Really want a Hollow Knight mini series now
God gamer seal of approval
Smart fella 😎
fart smella 😥
The fact Knight didn't bother killing Hornet and was expressionless all the time....gives me chillssss....
She was not an enemy though. She just wanted to test Hollow Knight (by trying to kill him, yes), but as soon as HK has proven he is stronger, this was settled. Besides, Hornet is helpful
The knight had nothing to gain from killing hornet, and also the knight is a vessel which is why it can’t have strong emotions if any at all
Yea the knight has zero emotion or care for anyone, the only reason THE HOLLOW KNIGHT isnt “hollow” is because he managed to form a father son relationship with the pale king over time. The knight (aka who we play as) isnt at all like that and has no emotion therefore why he is called the “true hollow knight” when you get the void heart.
@@Jonrocks7 When is the knight called "the true hollow knight"
@@slugintub634 when you get the void heart and the title of “the hollow knight” ending where the description of the achievement reads: beat the game and become the new hollow knight. So maybe you should actually play the game my dude, try going for all the endings and bosses like i have
I like how the crystal dash was represented, it makes it seem more of an attack than a way to get around faster
When you dash into a enemy it deals a bit of damage but you get damaged too, but there’s no shooting crystals thing
@@loty2906that was him going at high speed using Cdash

I love how The Knight doesn’t make any sort of body language at all, like their actually being controlled by the player.. really well done !!!!
:)
Its also the fact that the knight is emotionless a near state of complete apathy
@@eugenlovin6788 exactly what i said, no body language, no emotion
Good thing the player controlling the Knight was good 😂
@@arkanhelle2525 indeed
The characterization of the Knight in this scene is incredible. I love the fact that the knight is so emotionless throughout the whole thing because it doesn't have the same independent thoughts and feelings as Hornet. I like to think that at the end Hornet realises this when the Knight doesn't celebrate its victory and just carries on to the king's brand and that's why she let's it go.
Incredible animation, great job!
¹ Depois disse o SENHOR a Moisés: Vai a Faraó, porque tenho endurecido o seu coração, e o coração de seus servos, para fazer estes meus sinais no meio deles,
² E para que contes aos ouvidos de teus filhos, e dos filhos de teus filhos, as coisas que fiz no Egito, e os meus sinais, que tenho feito entre eles; para que saibais que eu sou o Senhor.
³ Assim foram Moisés e Arão a Faraó, e disseram-lhe: Assim diz o Senhor Deus dos hebreus: Até quando recusarás humilhar-te diante de mim? Deixa ir o meu povo para que me sirva;
⁴ Porque se ainda recusares deixar ir o meu povo, eis que trarei amanhã gafanhotos aos teus termos.
⁵ E cobrirão a face da terra, de modo que não se poderá ver a terra; e eles comerão o restante que escapou, o que vos ficou da saraiva; também comerão toda a árvore que vos cresce no campo;
⁶ E encherão as tuas casas, e as casas de todos os teus servos e as casas de todos os egípcios, quais nunca viram teus pais, nem os pais de teus pais, desde o dia em que se acharam na terra até o dia de hoje. E virou-se, e saiu da presença de Faraó.
⁷ E os servos de Faraó disseram-lhe: Até quando este homem nos há de ser por laço? Deixa ir os homens, para que sirvam ao Senhor seu Deus; ainda não sabes que o Egito está destruído?
⁸ Então Moisés e Arão foram levados outra vez a Faraó, e ele disse-lhes: Ide, servi ao Senhor vosso Deus. Quais são os que hão de ir?
⁹ E Moisés disse: Havemos de ir com os nossos jovens, e com os nossos velhos; com os nossos filhos, e com as nossas filhas, com as nossas ovelhas, e com os nossos bois havemos de ir; porque temos de celebrar uma festa ao Senhor.
¹⁰ Então ele lhes disse: Seja o Senhor assim convosco, como eu vos deixarei ir a vós e a vossos filhos; olhai que há mal diante da vossa face.
¹¹ Não será assim; agora ide vós, homens, e servi ao Senhor; pois isso é o que pedistes. E os expulsaram da presença de Faraó.
¹² Então disse o Senhor a Moisés: Estende a tua mão sobre a terra do Egito para que os gafanhotos venham sobre a terra do Egito, e comam toda a erva da terra, tudo o que deixou a saraiva.
Êxodo 10:1-12
I love how Hornet's eyes change shape to show her expressions while The Knight's remain the same the whole time. I found it funny. Anyways, this is an awesome piece and I enjoyed watching it during the entire time!
I like that detail a lot. It shows how the little ghost is entirely void of emotions, (soulless basically) while Hornet shows all kinds of emotions with her facial expressions.
Honestly, this is the thing that excites me most about Silksong. Hollow Knight is a master class of "show, don't tell", and Team Cherry did a great job of creating a huge, deep world despite the Knight not saying a thing. However, that also makes any interaction, any relationship the Knight has very shallow. Hornet is very much so NOT the Knight, however. Not just because she can talk, but also in that she can feel. Hornet is quite clearly angry at the start of the Silksong trailer, and there are multiple shots of Hornet interacting with various NPCs. The sheer potential of these interactions after Team Cherry had already mastered showing a lot while saying very little excites me greatly.
Little ghost the whole animation: 0 0
@@webbowser8834 You make a good point! I'm also excited to see that.
@@webbowser8834 although throughout the game we an see little details that the knight can actually feel pain making him not entirely hollow. silksong would be a perfect game for me if they included the knight in the story later on.
I love how you put the characters personalities into the way they fight.
Hornet is calm and precise, and the Knight is only doing what’s required.

I feel like it's the other way around
Hornet is doing what she can
The Knight is patient and precise
I really appreciate that you didn’t make the Knight emote at all, not even a head tilt. He’s just cold and empty and adorable
This might be the most beautiful HK fan animation that I've watched. I love how you animated Hornet using her spider abilities, and not just the stuff that she uses in the actual game battle. I also love how she narrows and widens her eyes, but the Knight's eyes stay perfectly round, as if they feel completely neutral about this.
A lot of details in this!
Yea
I also love how the knight uses almost all of his abilities
This looks so cool!! I love it so muchh!!
Hi sadist
Same!!
Yay, sad-ist is here! Hi sad-ist!
Hey! Its our girl Sadist!

The second Knight got tied up I though, "She's about to get abyss shrieked into the shadow realm" and I was right. Man that spell is awesome
How do they have abyss shriek if they don’t have kings brand
@@tyrannomon267 Check the description.
She got fus ro dahed to the next dimension
@@holyroman6541 The description doesn't actually state anything about Abyss Shriek.
@@khajiitimanus7432 "Totally inaccurate but just wanted to create something fun and frantic!"
Now take that in consideration when re-reading the other comment.
I like how the knight is parrying everything even though that's so hard to do in the actual game.
The combat looks so much cooler that way.
I love how stiff and eerie the knight moves. No posturing, intimidation, or trickery, it's just going through the motions. It's like a little wind-up monkey that can eat God.
I cannot express enough how much I adore the concept of the Knight knocking Hornet into the wyrm corpse and that's what makes it lay on the ground so it's possible to enter. It's brilliant!
and also why it barely starts to collapse when we enter in to it
Now this is amazing, perfect use of abilities from both characters. It takes the dullness of slapping hornet with a nail 57 times and really adds more depth to the fight, I am impressed
They actually only clash nails 12 times (sorry)
i agree, i also like detail that the knight is using a channeled nail which is the one most people have in the second fight
@@versatility2201 they're talking about in game
@@cookiecraze1310 no
If i had to nitpick i would say that the Knight having abyss shriek instead of howling wraiths isn't possible cute this fight happens before going to the abyss and getting shriek. Other than that, great animation!
Alright so first thing's first, this looks INCREDIBLE, such a great interpretation of the in-game abilities.
But also, how much has the internet broken me that I expected this to be a 'sibling dance' animation?
same lol, I thought it would be the sibling dance XD
there's already one in the Hollow Knight fandom, and it's black and white (not colored)
The thumbnail for this vid looked colored, so i was like, "hmm, a colored sibling dance animation, why not"
niko oneshot
Whats a "sibling dance"
1:48 belike :
The little Knight : you have got a good point but have you considered this
"This is my sister"
"And this is my brother"
"We are siblings and we care for each other"
*vicious swordfight followed by bringing down an entire large structure through the fury of battle*
That large structure is their dad
Thats not a sword fight they're just doing their sibling dance
@@noillaxe9918 *GO ON WITH THE FREAKING SONG INSTEAD OF THE JOKE GOING OVER YOUR HEAD*
Lol
The Hollow Knight: "Guys! Guys, I have... no mind to think, no will to break, no voice to cry suffering with you guys making this racket about sibling dances! I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be mean, it’s just... I've been stuck in the Black Egg forever, and I have an elder deity stuck inside of me, and I'm the only thing keeping this whole kingdom from falling apart, and I don’t have time to do a SIBLING DANCE!"
This is the only animation I've seen that really keeps Ghost/the Knight's expression blank. Great job on everything!
Yeah
Yeah, it’s such a limitation for animation in general, but this is how it’s done. Ghost doesn’t really emote to stuff, they just keep moving forward.
they have to otherwise they'd end up like lost Kin or the hollow knight
@@camb06 until he destroys his enemies
Accurate
my condolences to the 7 billion people who have not yet watched this masterpiece.
Every time I watch this animation, I can't think about anything except how Ghost got Abyss Shriek before going to the Abyss.

Love that Hornet was on the ceiling when she was talking to the Knight, as if it is a very normal thing to be able to walk on the ceiling. Also, love the use of her spider abilities! (Namely, trapping Ghost/the Knight in webs)
Just standing on the ceiling like "what are you looking at".
But I thought she was... well... a Hornet.
She's not a spider. Her weapon is a needle and those strings are thread. It's literally a sewing needle and thread.
@@MisfiT.Vibezz She’s at least half a spider. Her mother is Herrah the Beast, who lived/lives in Deepnest, home of the spiders. It’s how she gets her thread.
@@MisfiT.Vibezz I mean, it's definitely based on a needle and thread, but if it's _literally_ a needle and thread that raises some major questions
the way the knight just walks by hornet w/o a hint of emotion is so perfect for their character
This was perfect. Loved the way you depicted Hornet laying her silk as a trap.
This is so well animated. It really shows how strong the knight is
This also shows how creative Hornet is and this isn’t even her true potential
I got this fight really early, didn't even have the shriek at this fight
@@alejandrotorresriquelme8714 didn’t you need to beat this version of Hornet to enter the Abyss and get Shade Cloak and the access to gain Abyss Shriek?
@@JouganNeon I don't remember the previous to abyss shriek, but as I played the game without a guide, I did it with the old nail and no spells, since I prioritized healing over damage

Thank you so much everyone, I'm overwhelmed and super grateful to y'all for taking time out of your day to watch and comment!
I'm trying to keep up with comments but I'm currently moving and just wanted to quickly apologize for any I may miss.
I just started playing this game, and this animation really makes me wanna play it more.
This was amazing. Simply amazing. A beautiful ode to us who love this game worldwide. I really appreciate you making this video. Thank you
This animation is the most smoothest animation I have ever seen and I love it so much!!
This was honestly really fun to watch, you kept the fight engaging whilst also focusing on each of their individual fighting styles. Amazing work!
Hey thank you for making an absolutely amazing animation about hollow knight that not only has very high quality animation but stays true to the characters and how they react in combat. Thank you for this absolute masterpiece of an animation.
Good Lord, the movements are so fluid and the strikes have so much impact. Not to mention the background is tracked perfectly. This is the work of a master!
Honestly this is kind of the most accurate portrayal of a Hollow Knight fight. Hornet is jumping around and using all these fancy moves, while Ghost just stands there moving no more than what’s needed and not flinching at anything happening, just staring down everyone.
Absolutely love all the detail in the environment, with geo rocks sprinkles throughout, the Knight coming out of a cloth tent, the cool path in the gap in the "snow" makes, and of course how the final blow against Hornet sends her careening into the Great Wyrm's corpse, making it accessible to the Knight.
And of course the portrayal and weight behind every one of the Knight's moves is perfect. The way it transforms to attune with its void powers is so cool, and I especially love how you do the crystal dash.
2:57 i like how after the whole intense fight the knight was like : "Ok we're done playing bye bye now..."
Man was going to the next grub
For Hornet, it was an important fight that's gonna decide the fate of Hallownest. For The Knight, it was just Tuesday
@@ARMcPro I saw this comment almost word for word at the top of the page
He didn’t even care enough to finish the job
@@jaworskiricks1784 because he knew hornet wasn't evil.

@@cringepatrol6393 Alena did the sound design. Cbak did the animation.
@@thewing1786 ah that clears things up, thanks
I love how you captured the different fighting styles perfectly. The knight is a minimalist, only doing exactly what they have to in order to win, nothing flashy. Meanwhile, Hornet’s attacks look just as impressive as they are deadly, and her spinning her nail around at the beginning kinda shows that. Well animated!
this is exactly what I wanted to say. Also, I think hornet's (and the Knight's) personality was portrayed perfectly as well. this is the best hollow knight animation I've seen so far
The knight’s attacks looked pretty flashy but I know what you mean
@@Gardengap The knight's attacks were flashy, but not on purpose. Since the knight (by design) has no personality, It attacks with what it has and only does exactly what it needs to do to overcome a challenge, nothing more. Whereas Hornet's moves are chok full of personality being full of movements that (while not being detremental to her fight) are unneccesary.
That was one of the most beautiful fan animations of any franchise I've seen to date, dont lemme catch you in no Disney animation studio, you deserve WAY better ❤
I’ve been playing this game since it came out and this animation captures both fights with Hornet perfectly. It’s always satisfying to perfect the fight and to watch her move around with grace and compared to your limited move set the first time around. The second time around is awesome since by that point you’ve learned so much and can keep up with her thanks to all your new abilities and upgrades, by far one of the most underrated boss fights in the game!!
I really wish the crystal dash did some damage, instead I’m crashing into bugs trying to zoom out of areas lol
it actually does damage, it kills small creatures like vengrefly
Crystal dash kills bugs that you can kill in 1 nail hit, but you do damage while taking damage if its not a bug that you can kill with 1 nail hit

We need more animations from you like this. You are extremely talented. It would be really cool to see a mantis lords/ sisters of battle animation!
This makes me genuinely sad that there isn't an cartoon adaptation of Hollow Knight... Regardless though, that animation was amazing! Probably the best fan work I've seen for this series.
theres a comic for hollow Knight
i like how since the knight is a vessel his eyes keep the same, emotionless stare for the whole fight, whereas hornet's eyes change to reflect her emotions
This is incredibly pretty and I love the way that the gameplay was implemented into the animation, as well as the very neat references to the game! Very cool!
Beautiful. This animation made my day. Now time to rewatch it.
One of my favorite parts of this is how Hornet has facial expressions but the Knight does not. My other favorite part is how it shows Hornet using her spider silk and spiky balls!
yes, this is truly quality, when I first came to the arena, I said "The backdrop is like some sort of samurai duel about the happen" during my playthrough and this is epic.
one of the best hollow knight animation i saw so far , incredible work man :)
Breathtaking animation! The motion was smooth and the fight was an intense, graceful dance that utilized all of the Knight's and Hornet's abilities. And the music and sound was excellent.
As a fan of animation, i'm proud of you. The artstyle, the work put in this, the quality of the movements of the characters... This is awesome. I wish you could have the right, the time, the monney and enought people in your team, to maybe be able to see one day an hollow knight cartoon.

@@somar8989 then we can argue that abyss shriek has that one purple soul in the middle and is deployed on a larger scale? I don't know honestly lol
Perfection! The choreography, the Easter eggs, the variety, and animation were all top notch. Great work friend.
Love the artistic liberties taken here. There are a lot of limitations in place for video games as a medium (being 2d, for example, one of the biggest,) and being willing to let them go allows for so much more creativity. Having explored the HK animation rabbit hole here on youtube for the past few days, this has been the first well animated fight scene I've come across, and it breathes a lot of life into the characters which is awesome to see. Your rendition of the crystal dash was especially neat and made me wish it was in the game haha.
I really like how you can recognize even the subtle charms Ghost has equipped, from the downward dash of Dashmaster, to the immediate windup into cyclone slash with Nailmaster's Glory.
Not to mention the obvious use of Baldur Shell and the more subtle use of Spell Twister
The fact that with the knight you can see that their face doesn’t really change and is unresponsive while hornets is expressive is such a small and neat detail that could have been left out but really makes such a huge difference in the story
I never finished the Hollow Knight game, but grown to love it, and these two characters. This animation is impeccable! Everything about it is amazing! Great job!
This is what got me into hollow knight!
Everyone’s talking about how amazing the animation is meanwhile I’m just having a crisis trying to figure out how the Knight has abyss shriek when the abyss can only be opened by the king’s brand… which they are fighting for.
But this knight can also straight up fly with monarch wings so I guess he’s just a chad.
Ya
Check description
2:32 i imagine all of the void yelling
"You will not perish you have a job to do vessel!"
Well, I think THAT was the fail of the animation. How Knight got the hability upgrade if he still doesn't get the King's Brand? If my memory doesn't falling, It are in the Abyss, the one that you only can access with the King's Brand.
@@SoUmBrasileiro Artists Lisense. Shriek looks way cooler than wraiths.
I think they would say "..." tbh sounds more in character
I’ve watched so many freaking hollow knight animations, this one was the very first one I ever watched. By far, it is still the most smoothe and most impressive fan animation I’ve ever seen
I like how the knight was so chill
This is so good, all the little details that stay true to the game, and the artistic liberties you took to make the fight new and fresh, its soooo good
Except for one detail that was wrong, but still a cool video
Edit: Abyss Shriek is impossible to have in that fight.
@@chair42 And Crystal Dash has zero offensive capabilities. It’s way too powerful here compared to the original game. But the way the knight used here it is just so damn cool. So It’s completely fine.
@@chair42 ough yeah… b-but… shshshsh fight cool we can have this one…
even the nail upgrade is the one i had lol
the sound design on this alone is absolutely incredible, let alone the animation and the editing. Great work, OP
I love it so much!!!
How u put all hability of them.... Wonderful!!!!
This is really enjoyable animation work! You represented very faithfully the Knight's abilities in game, I hope the fight could be as epic as this :D
I love how the knight just walks past hornet showing that he is a true hollow vessel.
@@TonightTheMusicSeemsSoLoudd the player is a true hollow vessel, while the 'hollow' knight isn't actually completely hollow (basically the knight has no emotions but the hollow knight does have some)
He isn't tho the knight does have some type of will. This is proven in the DLC
@@blocker476 this is true. He does have love for his father, aka The Pale King.
@@blocker476 I'd say the knight isn't completely hollow either based on the adventure he had, that flower delivered to elderbug, those times spent with Quirrel, etc., sometimes I see it on the bench taking a little nap and be like "this little thing can't be pure". I think that's why we actually should go for the dream no more ending because if we choose to become the hollow knight, the infection's probably gonna leak as well. I mean there really aren't any signs to assure us that the knight is in fact hollow, even the White Lady wasn't sure
@@brianguo4860 thats you doing that, and after the ending you are removed from the knight leaving it perfectly hollow
This is amazing but let's be honest
No one ever successfully Parry's that many times in a single fight
If no ones gonna say it, fine I will.
Fireborn: are you challenging me ?
Or uses crystal dash as an attack. Sure, it deals damage, but it also is guaranteed to hurt you unless it's the final blow
*fireb0rn has entered the chat*
Or have Abyss Shriek before Hornet 2
@@Mish3aaL13 heh I did it first
This looks amazing and I absolutely love it, great job!!
I fr love tgis animation so much
Like this is legit fire👏👏👏👏
