You can purchase the key from Sly if you haven't done so already. And if TC decided on just one canonical ending, then why did they bother to make the other endings? They would have given us just one ending if they wanted to keep the story of Hollow Knight definite.Before entering Godhome, players will need to obtain the Dream Nail (see the page to learn more) and a Simple Key. As soon as a game gives you an option between two choices that lead to different outcomes, there cannot be one true ending. There is no true ending to Hollow Knight. Letting you choose the Nailsmith's fate or whether you found Cloth before/after fighting Traitor Lord gives you a different experience from most games, making it more interesting. Giving everyone the same journey/playthrough can get boring at sometimes. If TC made you save Zote and made you get the Awoken Dreamnail to defeat the Radiance, then there would be one true ending.īut why would TC do this? To give us a different and intriguing experience with the game. As soon as the game gives you an option to decide between two choices, there cannot be a single outcome. They make you decide whether to save Zote or to banish Grimm. So why would Team Cherry say that all the endings are canonical/none of them are true? They have to because they give you different choices while playing the game. If they are all true, then none of them can be true all together at once. If all the HK endings are canonical, but they can't all be canonical, where does this leave us? Well, to say that all endings are canonical is just like saying that none of the endings are canonical.

Since the endings contradict each other, they can't be true all at once. To say that one of the HK endings are canonical would be logical, but for all of them to be canon, is invalid. For example, to say that dolphins are and aren't real would be contradicting this law. What does this have to do with anything? Well, this law states that something cannot be true and untrue at the same time. Yes, the game devs have said that all the HK endings are canonical, but let me explain.įirst, I want to discuss about the law of non-contradiction. r/demonssouls /r/darksouls /r/darksouls2 /r/darksouls3 /r/bloodborne /r/saltandsanctuary /r/castlevania /r/metroid
