*FULL HK + DLC:*

*FULL HK:*

[jeef]

That moment when you decide to stop being very hungry and go to some old kingdom and end up in a quest to save it.

[PixleIdiot]

The Moth is a deadly laser. Not Anymore Theres a knight!

[Javier-mcuq]

This version gives me a feeling of false prosperity, like beholding hallownest in its former glory. But only in a dream. The void heart version is all about silence and melancholy after realizing the truth.

[kgskeletor]

When silksong's release date gets announced this will be the victory theme

[Hchiskasj]

Absolutely incredible game and absolutely incredible music by Larkin.

[denontown]

the first time i heard this i was actually on the verge of crying, like someone else said in a video, hollow knight wouldn’t be the same game if it didn’t have such ama ing music.

[jaffacake]

It’s so good, where has this been all my life?

Block: The Vessel strikes a Focus stance, Baldur's Shell forming around it.
Dodge Roll: Does a swift Shade Dash, repeated inputs turns it into the Mothwing Dash.
Aerial Dodge: Does a swift Shade Dash, repeated inputs turns it into the Mothwing Dash.

Unique Mechanic: SOUL Gauge: The Vessel gains a little bit of SOUL with every successful nail attack, and a full SOUL usage upon executing a directional throw. The SOUL can then be expended to empower certain attacks. A maximum of 3 usages of SOUL can be stored at any time. The SOUL is lost upon losing a stock.
Unique Mechanic: Dreamgate: At the start of a fight, a Dreamgate is set at the Vessel's spawn point. Using a down throw, the Vessel can set a new Dreamgate which acts as its spawn point and teleport point for its Up Special from that moment on.

Neutral Attack: The Vessel does a horizontal slash with the nail, an additional input follows up with a slash in the other direction. The attack loops into itself and can rapidly be repeated, as if equipped with Quick Slash.
Forward Tilt: Does a slashing attack with the nail, firing a Grubberfly Elegy projectile. Negligible knockback, the recoil from hitting with the melee portion of the attack pushes the Vessel back a little.

Up Tilt: The Vessel does a swift slash with its nail above itself. The attack loops into itself.
Down Tilt: The Vessel takes a low, defensive stance with its nail for a second, if attacked it counters with a horizontal slash. (Based on the Hollow Knight's parry and counter attack.) The parry has a damage cap of 10%, above which the Vessel's guard will break.
Dash Attack: The Vessel does a dash, slashing once with its nail as it does. (Based on the Broken Vessel's dash attack.)

Neutral Aerial: The Vessel does a swift slash with its nail in mid-air. Loops into itself. Negligible knockback.
Forward Aerial: The Vessel assumes a Nail Art stance and unleashes the Cyclone Slash. Repeated inputs extends the duration of the attack and slows the Vessel's descent while in mid-air.
Back Aerial: The Vessel turns around in the air and stabs with its nail. Good knockback.
Up Aerial: The Vessel swiftly slashes at the space above itself with its nail. The attack loops into itself.
Down Aerial: The Vessel slashes at the space below itself, the recoil pushes the Vessel up a little. The attack loops into itself.

Grab: The Vessel reaches out with a hand and grabs in front of itself. Very short reach but also pretty fast.
Pummel: The Vessel stabs at the grappled opponent with its nail.
Forward Throw: The Vessel slashes with its Dream Nail. Pitiful damage, good knockback, fills 1 usage of the SOUL Gauge.
Back Throw: Shade Dash behind the opponent and slash them with the Dream Nail. Pitiful damage, fills 1 usage of the SOUL Gauge.
Up Throw: The Vessel stabs the opponent with the Dream Nail and lifts them overhead, the Dream Nail charges up and then erupts into a column of Dream Essence. Pitiful damage, excellent knockback, fills 1 usage of the SOUL Gauge.
Down Throw: The Vessel pulls the opponent down on the ground and stabs the Dream Nail into them. Pitiful damage and knockback, fills 1 usage of the SOUL Gauge, sets a new Dreamgate.

Forward Smash: The Vessel assumes a Nail Art stance. Upon releasing the attack button it unleashes the Great Slash.
Up Smash: The Vessel gathers energy and then unleashes the Howling Wraiths, releasing a blast of SOUL above and around itself. If the Vessel has at least one use of SOUL Gauge, it instead expends 1 use of SOUL Gauge and unleashes the Abyss Shriek, releasing a larger and more powerful blast of SOUL and Shadow above and around itself.
Down Smash: The Vessel takes a hunched over stance with its nail. Upon releasing the attack button it does three horizontal slashes while advancing for each slash. (Based on the Hollow Knight's triple slash.)

Floor Attack: The Vessel rises with a spinning nail attack.
Edge Attack: The Vessel climbs up the edge and thrusts out with its nail.

Neutral Special: Vengeful Spirit > Shade Soul: The Vessel fires a small, white spirit projectile straight forward. The projectile stops when it hits a medium powered projectile, an enemy or a wall. If the Vessel has at least one use of SOUL Gauge, it instead expends 1 use of SOUL Gauge and fires a much larger, black spirit projectile. The projectile continues flying even if it hits other projectiles or opponents.
Up Special: Dreamgate: The Vessel takes a stance with its Dream Nail pointing upward. After about 1½ second, the Vessel teleports in a burst of Dream Essence to its Dreamgate.
Side Special: Sharp Shadow > Nail Art: Dash Slash: The Vessel does a swift Shade Dash forward, turning into a Sharp Shadow that damages anyone it dashes through. If the attack is done with a Smash input, the Vessel performs a Dash Slash at the end of the dash move which has the same damage and launch power as Forward Smash but a sharper launch incline.
Down Special: Desolate Dive > Descending Dark: The Vessel leaps up into the air and then slams down into the ground with concentrated SOUL, unleashing a shockwave. If the Vessel has at least one use of SOUL Gauge, it instead expends 1 use of SOUL Gauge and unleashes a second shockwave of Shadow upon impact with the ground.

Final Smash: Void Heart: Barbed Shadow tendrils lash out from the Vessel, if one enemy is hit by the attack then, congratulations, a winner is you! If the opponent has less than 100% damage, has more than 1 stock remaining, or the Vessel has been KO'd at least once during the course of the match then: Cut to the hit opponent being bound in a rising void by Shadow tendrils, the shade of the Hollow Knight holding them in place as the Void Given Form wail on the opponent until the void swallows them. Instantly KO's if the Vessel manages to bring the opponent's damage percentage over 100% during the Final Smash.
If the opponent has more than 100% damage, is down to their last stock and the Vessel hasn't been KO'd a during the match then the opponent is engulfed in a black void where the 8-eyed Void Given Focus wails on them until the opponent is devoured by the darkness.

Up Taunt: The Vessel strikes a Focus stance for a second, making SOUL energy erupt around itself, repeatable up to three times.

Down Taunt: The Vessel sits down and rests, falling asleep after a few seconds.

Thank for this. Wonder why all the originals were deleted....

[Joel-zjoz]

I would like to erase my memories of this game and play it again, with the same skeptical attitude as if I had made a good purchase, I love this game

[TheAdmirableAdmiral]

Hollow knight was the greatest game I have played in 15 years. it made me feel like I was a kid again. When I was reflecting upon why I liked it and what makes a great game I realized that all my favorite games have something in common. They all make me as the player question the nature of the quest. They make me wonder why I am in the game's universe and why it is I am doing what I am doing and makes me reflect on whether continuing the quest is the correct course of action. Hollow Knight was no exception and it was an experience that stuck with me after I was done with the game.

[puglife]

Thank you so much for this all the hollow knight music from my playlists were gone and Christopher Larkin hasn’t uploaded the base game soundtrack to his channel for some reason

[RavenStarMedia]

I haven't played Hollow Knight yet, but something about this music sounds very nostalgic to me. It somehow reminds me of Undertale, the first Pokemon movies, and the Disney Rennaisance films all rolled into one, and I love it.

[Dragon.King.Ryuga.]

just gonna download these incase it get's deleted again

[zelda]

I love how this sounds like an epic journey. Was this song used for a trailer of the game? Because I could totally see a montage of the knight walking through different areas like in the Silksong trailer. Edit: It totally is a trailer theme! It's the theme for the ferocious foes trailer. Called it!

[Hello-ob]

This is my favorite music of the day...😓💙

[ElectricOrange]

Everytime I hear this theme I get it stuck in my head and then start humming it 😭

[BlackKnightSupreme]

This song feels like a whole journey in 2minutes

The search, the fights and the loot acquired 😊😊

[RustyhairedAlp]

If the knight was a boss, this would be the battle theme
