zote deserves death it is only the fact that content is gated behind his survival which allows him to poison the earth with his continued presence

the amazing atmosphere of the game kinda takes a hit near the end of the game when you can no longer sit and ponder life on the bench next to the Elderbug without the constant Zote grumbling and OH HO HOH HOOO from the blessing

Zote is actually the son of the Pale King and he was expunged from the annals for his folly. but that's just a theory, a game theory please smash that like button, subscribe and comment if you want to see more

Having fought Troupe Master Grimm once, is there any reason in particular to keep collecting flames? Am I going to have to fight him again but harder?

If you continue collecting the flames, you'll eventually have the option to upgrade the Grimmchild further, or effectively trade it for an entirely new charm. You don't really need either of those. Seriously, the last boss is the real reward

Your Computer posted:Zote is actually the son of the Pale King I'm not sure it's all that hard to make a case for this: maybe he's the actual, legitimate son of the King and the Queen sent him away to protect him. He very clearly has issues with his mother and returning to lay claim to some sort of vague glory, possibly stolen from him by his pseudo-half-brother, the Hollow Knight, who the King loved more than him.

I do like that if you actually bother to beat +10 Zote then Bretta dumps him and just leaves to have her own adventure. Would be more satisfying if Zote even noticed though. As for ~game theories~ about Zote I think he's just a really botched vessel. Probably one of the first ones. It might even be that Zote being such a miserable, worthless creature is what made the King decide that emotionless beings were the ideal state for his void golems. The thing is Zote kind of has to be Abyss related because during his fight he uses a bunch of void powers (in comical Zote fashion, but still).

Is there any sort of speculation or anything about why the Knight (the player, I mean) is outside of Hallownest at the beginning? I like the idea that (endgame spoilers) you're not just one vessel, you're all of them, i.e. every time you die you are a new one, you're basically just the Abyss trying to kill the Radiance any way you can. I'm not really sure there's a lot of support for that idea, especially seeing as how a lot of people (mostly Hornet) recognize your quest and recognize you in particular as being unique, a "this time it's different" situation. But it's fun to think about.

Alternatively the King deliberately tried to model one of his creations after himself and the result was a narcissistic idiot with delusions of grandeur. Oh dear.

I subscribe to my headcanon of the king somehow being the hollow knight because he couldn't bear sealing his perfect creation, the protag (and he was arrogant enough to think he could do it). It would make the last scene where the HK helps out the protagonist more gratifying and it would make the Pale King sadder and a better but obviously flawed dude, completing his arc by redeeming himself and doing what he couldn't before (allowing his vessel to perform its task). It would also be a repetition of the kingsoul becoming the void heart. As is, the other HK helping you doesn't mean all that much, he's nobody. It would also explain the regal air someone says you possess because you were the one who spent time with the king, and it would explain why the radiance seems pale king themed in general (you're in his head). But in the PoP scene we see that vessel had slightly different ears, and it doesn't explain the flashback of the king walking away with a different vessel in the abyss(unless that vessel was you and you were seeing through the perspective of a failed vessel, which again I like) so it's a no-go in terms of actually happening.

"Selfish God King clings to dying empire, messes with the natural order of things, pain and suffering ensues" where have I heard that story before  If I understand it correctly the Pale King essentially granted individual minds and thus personalities, culture and civilization to the bugs? Was it a secret plot to well, as far as monarchs go anyway

Someone in this thread or in the game said that if you equip a charm that has a unique interaction(s) with other charms, those other charms will glow in your menu while the first charm is equipped. Is this true, because I haven't noticed it with the Defender's Crest, which people tell me does something unique with like half of the other charms in the game.

Was it a secret plot to It's clear that there were other civilizations beyond Hallownest. The King granted minds and identities to servants he created out of the void. The glowy tablets are exclusively readable by said void-servants, and are made for the servants to read by the king.

On the other hand, Monomon the Teacher writes "for none could tame our savage souls, yet you the challenge met". Also those tablets are for "higher beings", not creatures of void.

Yeah, that. The Elegy for Hallownest seems to spell it out, pretty much. In her dream dialogue Monomon says "...For diversity, a Seal..." which also supports it. Not sure about her second line about "a world forever unchanging" though. Other than that line which I don't quite get, she's gotta be one of my favorite characters. She was the first Dreamer I encountered and dang what a moment  I was prepared for a big ol' boss fight so it really caught me by surprise that she wanted the seal broken and just.. lets you kill her. Of course it turned out you don't actually fight any of the Dreamers but that still made a strong impression on me.

A world unchanging means that she is aware that sealing the Hollow Knight (and Radiance) away is a stasis at best and not progress.

The King did not create the first civilization or give literal mind and soul to all the bugs of Hallownest. Its pretty clear that not only are there civilizations outside of Hallownest, but also that other civilizations existed where Hallownest now stands. There are foreign travelers, mention of other lands and kingdoms beyond the borders, and clear indication of precursors to the Pale King's civilization. The tablets are probably just an embellishment of the Pale King building a new civilization on the ruins of Radiance's. That or they could hint at a relationship between the King and his retainers that went beyond ruler and subject. The King might of had a way to share his power with the retainers and grant them higher intellect. Such intellect would be lost if they strayed away from the King, and thus they would no longer be "higher beings". This could be why Retainers are present in the White Palace dream; they go beyond being memories and are literally part of the King's mind due to this connection. But again I consider it equally likely the Pale King's ego was so large that he thought anyone outside of Hallownest a savage and everything that predated it to be worthless. It was only through his grace that they were elevated to a state he considered intelligent. The White Bug's Burden.
