And let’s be real, was anyone here happy when they found out that their entire work was for this old ♥♥♥♥ to eat every single baby? These are 40 hours of work, on a blind run with no previous knowledge of anything, just to find them to get to this ending. In this quest, you need to activily search for these babies just to get to this finale. I guess my real problem is that this is not a character side quest like Quirl’s story or even Cloth’s where finding this characters is something that is already pre-written so you are bound to find them. Why not have the babies get consumed by the plague? Heck, is it ever explained why they weren’t infected? Why not have them all leave so they are not in danger? Instead you give the concept of a metamorphosis that, for the record, is something that happens individually, there are no species that actually eat their babies in order to transform. There is no need to do any of this.īut let’s say that you want to give these babies a tragic ending, because Hollow Knight loves those and only 2 of these deaths were actually emotive. You could have just left the babies all happy and that’s it. But the deal, is that there was no need for this. The achievement explanation seems like an bad excuse from the devs to say “Hey, we know you went through all this work and this is what you get in the end, but don’t worry, it’s just a metamorphosis”. Why not show him getting t turn into another thing? If it is indeed a next stage, why do you never get to see it? Your last image is from an old larva satisfied that he eat every baby. An achivement is supposed to be an outside reward from the devs from completing certain tasks, and appearently here it is used as a way to tell the players what happened.Ģ.
I have seen a lot of arguments brought up because this is supposed to be a metamophorsis, so a next stage for the Grubs per se, because that is the name achivement for completing this storyline is called. And you do so… and the reward you get from collecting every grub is that the old caterpillar eats all the babies, making all the work that you did feel useless. So your journey starts and look all around for them in the hopes that these creature will finally be safe. Find these poor babies, release them and send them back home. No dialogue is presented, but you get the clearly get the idea. So in the early of the game there is a place with an old grub, that must be their grandfather or something, with a lot of tiny “houses” where the baby grubs live. It’s difficult not to get attached to these little creatures. When they see you, they get immediately happy, as they say a ray of hope that they might be freed. Along your adventure you start finding these baby creatures, grubs, that are stuck inside containments. The world of Hollow Knight cleary presents this “end of the world cenario” where everyone is pretty much infected and gone insane. And if I am thinking that this is the case, then it’s because I am not immersed, it’s because the game lost me completely. It reminds you that this is a game and that decisions were made when making this game. The Grub ending has got to be one of the worst decisions that was iput into the game, since it completely removes you from that same immersion making you feel that all the work you had so far, all the hours you putted into the game searching for these creatures, were a waste of time.
