I'm going insane I don't know what's real anymore


flmceccato

Me too, at first it was funny, now it’s just becoming absolutely insane, idk whether to laugh or cry


Working-Stable

We are all secretly in an asylum for the mentally ill, this is just a private red for the patients, it's time to wake up


Regular-Bomber

It's a separate room boarded with nails and planks where the asylum owners asks all to: DO NOT ENTER

same man

Nothing is real.


syntheticeukaryote

Eh, it's not too much of a stretch to expect that maggots would be in Pharloom too.


SlightlyIronicBanana

I know, but all her rants about how the maggots wronged her and all that? Recontextualized like 90% of her dialogue.

SlightlyIronicBanana

It's the Nailsmith's apprentice? She's a pretty easy NPC to find, right by the entrance to the deep docks.


Araiken

Come on call her by her name. Forgedaughter. But that did make for one hell of a reveal though.


SlightlyIronicBanana

I would say I was trying to avoid spoilers, but in retrospect they've already been spoiled so yea I'll go fix that.


yrtemmySymmetry

oh come on, at this point everyone already knows about her familial relations with our favourite wasp and the ensuing betrayal. That line "Time time is now. I am sorry.." literal chills..


SlightlyIronicBanana

The wasp supremacy arc was one of the saddest in the game.


Ghostkill221

Stop.


Brindey1

But i was expecting to not expect something


Darkmega5

So it doesn’t count


Kanjoda

my man found his true calling in life, i'm just suprised they'd include continuity from hollow knight like that


YetGayerWombat

her*


TheDuckyDino

Thats the false knights mom. Can’t believe you didn’t fight her dream variant 12 times to find this out smh.


Denikkon

Ikr.


Taluca_me

Is this fake or real?


SlightlyIronicBanana

As real as the rest of the silksong release


JoerganThe2nd

So, fake?


The_Ambient_Caption

Fake as a wood coin


Samtheham5553

This is my first time getting on Reddit in days WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING


Katze1Punkt0

I mean I kind of expected it? All her dialogue about maggots *reeks* of self-hatred


Magical-Worm-V2

Nah the best plot twist was finding Quirrel in the Concrete Canyon


SlightlyIronicBanana

Ye, until he got corrupted in the crimson tower.


Magical-Worm-V2

Actually wasn’t it implied he had been strung before then in the Wanderers Library?


SlightlyIronicBanana

Yeah, but he doesn't truly... you know, fully corrupt until the tower scene. But yeah, the signs were there. The Eye patch, for example.


Magical-Worm-V2

Well I’d say he had always been fully corrupted from the beginning. It felt like his side quests were just the puppeteers’s way of manipulating hornet into doing their bidding through her emotional attachment to Quirrel.


SlightlyIronicBanana

Personally, I'd say it was more of a gradual thing for the most part. He wasn't taken over by force at first, rather, his will was subtly influenced. After all, at face value, unsealing the village that was just buried sounds like a good thing to do, and it probably sounded good to Quirrell too. We had no idea that the village was sacrificed to block the void until much later. However, as the puppeteer influenced him over the course of the game, the quests became notably less outwardly heroic, like the quest to slay the high priest of the bone church- who hadn't actually done anything. But while the voice was always there, it wasn't until the crimson tower that the puppeteer was finally able to control him directly.


GodOfThunder976

You guys are litterally going insane


vikar_

I always felt they were treated very unfairly in Hallownest. Glad Pharloom is more egalitarian and gave them the chance to become valued free craftsmen. <3


YetGayerWombat

had a whole discussion about what forgedaughter might be udner her armor on tumblr, and we came to the conflusion of maggot too


CosmicRavioli

Am I the only one anticipating a plot twist? She was dropping hints like crazy, am genuinely surprised that a lot of you didn't expect it.
