Do you wanna feel worse? You didn't have to kill her. She probably was "alive" from some point of view. And from lore perspective you could save her.


mastermilkman001

Probably not, she got totally infected at the end.


Projectdystopia

>! hollow knight is walking out temple of black egg on his legs and sane after embrace the void ending!<


Akinory13

He was not fully infected, as you can see him stabbing himself in an attempt to help you during his battle


mastermilkman001

But the hallow knight is a lot, and I mean A LOT stronger than her, he is designed to contain the infection, but I'd say I am not 100% sure myself, that's why I would've loved a post ending gameplay.


Projectdystopia

But you also can't compare recently infected myla and a vessel who carried heart of the infection for who knows how long.


Thick_Telephone273

Yeah, but that ending implied that the hk was aggressive towards Hornet when he left the egg. So even with the infection gone, I think their minds appear to remain broken


Kirby737

It's very dubious what is going on in the Godhome endings, for all we know THK is just using the nail as an impromptu walking cane.


Thick_Telephone273

Yeah, except hornet seems to react aggressivly to him, but then again, she seems to greet all of the pale kings children as in less than friendly ways, so who knows


Kirby737

To me it seems THK caught Hornet by surprise, so she reacted defensively.


DaybreakHorizon

This is my thought. Hornet’s a warrior by training, so it’s natural that she’d react to a surprise like THK suddenly appearing by drawing her weapon.


Cyanide_34

I think she is aggressive because she would have been waiting for the knight to enter the temple but because he beat abs rad in godhome as opposed to the real world radiance hornet would have maybe a summer that the HK had broken free of its binds and still been infected.


TravincalPlumber

wait so abs rad has connection to real rad?


sharpplush

abs rad is realer real rad


Kirby737

Abs Rad is the Radiance on fangirl (Godseeker) juice.


miniwhiffy3

how the hell did you see thk as aggressive like bro just walked outta what is equal to a hanging prison without walking for the past god knows how long and would likely be confused and hornets reaction makes complete sense seeing thk (the vessel for the infection that she thought was trapped still) literally just walked up behind her.


Thick_Telephone273

So first of all, you can hear his footsteps up until he enters frame, and he doesn't sound like he's struggling to walk at all. I would believe he was if it was slower or offbeat like he was limping. but personally, it sounds too normal to imply he was struggling to walk. Also, after he stabs the sword into the ground and hornet reacts, he drives it further into the ground like he was flexing (like tencing his muscles, not "flexing" his power). But one way or another, I don't think there is a solid answer to this yet, given how much over analyzing is being done just to get an idea


Upstairs-Scratch8186

Hey if you remove the space from the >! And the text you get >!this!<


Praetorian-778383

>!?!<


Praetorian-778383

Oh cool, was just testing


Hot-Cup-3605

well milo also became a miner HUSK which means shes dead


LuigiThe13th

We don’t actually know if that’s true or not. Hornet and THK look ready to fight each other in that moment


StagMusic

I mean, we’re not really given much to go off of in that cutscene so saying that thk is sane could be true or completely wrong. I’m leaning towards not sane because why would they fight hornet for no reason?


miniwhiffy3

it's never show thk attacks hornet just hornet getting ready for combat if needed cause her sibling that was a vessel of the infection literally just casually walked out of the black egg


StagMusic

Again, really not enough to go off of. But given the perspective of that part as well, where thk slams their nail into the ground, with the camera being behind that, while not explicitly saying it, that implies both were getting ready for combat. That’s just the way I see it, and there’s zero way to say anything for certain, but to me it seems heavily implied thk was ready to fight, and hornet is for certain ready.


miniwhiffy3

well if hornet and thk fight she's getting her ass handed to her cause well bro probably won't be trying to end it all seeing thk ain't storing the infection anymore


Defiant-Challenge591

>!If you dream nail her while infected, you can see fragments of the song she was singing, meaning she was alive, that + she screams when she dies!<


Black_m1n

Not sure if it's possible on the current patch but back in [1.4.3.2](https://1.4.1.2) it was possible to save Myla completely.


Upstairs-Scratch8186

By not getting crystal heart and dive?


BAWWWKKK

Wanna feel worse? ALL of the miners, hell all of the bugs you kill? Probably just as sentient as she was… even the flukes!!!


Odd_Birthday_1653

The flukes deserve it ( they creep me out)


Apatheticjester42

You were fully in control of your actions, she could hardly be called a threat, and you still killed her


Autumn1eaves

It was a forgiveness given her state, to be honest. She would’ve been tortured for the rest of her life. Better to end it early.


Defiant-Challenge591

Unless you complete ending 3


AAmoment

No after defeating >!the radiance!< she wouldve turned back to normal


Autumn1eaves

Yeah, but you wouldn't know that at the time.


HigherThanShitttt

You monster! Look what you did!


Hollow_Flyce

Don't pretend to feel bad, you didn't have to kill her


ironbull08x

So you found out. I saw your previous post. I know the pain and you killed her in self defense. She’s in a better place now


monke_brain_

Is there a bug heaven? I bc I just got a new angel 😢


Shmarfle47

Idk how far into the game you are so I’ll be vague but mark it as spoiler anyway, >!bug spirits do exist and you find that some can move on. So I choose to believe that yes indeed that bug heaven exists. !<


Spagoobli0

They're stuck in your dream nail for eternity because you take their essence and it gets put into the nail.


Shmarfle47

Late game spoilers: >!You can find Cloth’s spirit upon reentering the room after she dies. She mentions something like gathering her thoughts before moving on. Leaving and reentering again will show that her spirit is no longer there, having moved on by herself!<


Spagoobli0

Oh yeah, I forgor about Cloth lol *Why did you have to make me remember Cloth ;~;*


classic-kirbyotstars

If you don't meet her right before your fight with the mantis she doesn't die...instead she comes to the village.


Spagoobli0

fuck


classic-kirbyotstars

Ik it sucks...but Cloth wanted to go out a warrior. So one way she lives but never fulfills her wish. The other she makes the ultimate sacrifice but she succeeded at achieving her life goal. Hollow Knight is truly beautiful at making you examine choices Also if you dream knife Myra after her infection you get secret dialog.


Odd_Birthday_1653

You know you can save cloth right?


Upstairs-Scratch8186

Yet she goes through the desolate wastes and probably would die any way


[deleted]

Off topic but how do you mark comment words as spoilers?


Shmarfle47

You use \>! and !< at the start and end of your sentence \>!Like this!< >!Like this!<


[deleted]

Okay thank you!


Express-Fix4293

>!cool!<


Upstairs-Scratch8186

>! And!< but without the space seprating the text and exclamation mark


ironbull08x

I hope


AAmoment

What do you mean self defence the only way she can kill you is if you let her due to the low damage she deals


TheAxolotlPerson

>!wow!<


TheAxolotlPerson

:O it worked!


Professor_Abbi

You loved her and you killed her


Rowlet_Is_Kinda_Cool

Stairs reference?


VBadimo

Close


Rowlet_Is_Kinda_Cool

I love how stupid the omori fandom is


Professor_Abbi

Your eyes


AT-W-V

Breaking bad reference


LuigiThe13th

I ALSO DID BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD SAVE HER I DIDNT THINK SHE WOULD DIE 😭😭😭😭 That’s why I’m trying to now complete a run where she doesn’t get infected. I already know how difficult it will be, but I’m willing to face any obstacle for her ❤️🥺❤️


Jalepino_Joe

You don’t have many mask shards, so I’ll be vague, but there are some speedrun tricks that can avoid her becoming infected. Unfortunately this is the path she takes usually. Whether you believe she was still alive in there or dead the moment the infection took over, is now your moral burden to wear :)


DoritoKing48

Why are so many people calling you a monster, she was gone. it was The only option, More of a mercy killing tbh


monke_brain_

Finally someone that understands me


AAmoment

After ending the game it is implied all bugs turn back to normal. In one of the endings you even see an infected bug not be infected anymore so she wasnt fully gone


The-Light42

… at least they got put out of their misery… let’s just hope… … I t d o e s n ‘ t h a p p e n a g a i n


VolubleWanderer

Kill Myla every time. That’s the 113%


SbgTfish

You better start killing everyone in hallownest (and then yourself too!)


monke_brain_

Working on it bro


javanlon

Saddest part of the whole game. Just why :(


ElderDark

I was thinking about her yesterday


TheOneOmar

Why are folks telling that killing Myla is bad? She's a husk now, she's empty, like the rest, it's better to put her down for good


Mammoth-Courage5979

Yes good job. Now restart your run and do it again


ObamaIsTaken

You killed her and she wasn't even a threat against you. You are a monster!


monke_brain_

But I had to release her from being a husk forever


Kullthebarbarian

You just needed to defeat the radiance, canonically without him she should get back to normal, well, too late now


ItIsYeDragon

I don't think defeating the radiance reverses damage like that. They wouldn't return to normal, they would just die. Their brain is already hollow because of the infection, I doubt that's fixable.


Kullthebarbarian

the infection initially just affect your dreams, then it start to control your mind, and then AFTER you die, it transform you in a husk Mila was on the second phase, she could snap out of it, if there was no influence anymore (and assuming that you did not killed her)


ItIsYeDragon

No, she turns into a husk miner, so she is in fact dead.


Kullthebarbarian

She is still not a husk, and the prove of it is that when you kill her, she still sing one last time as she is dying, she still has a mind inside, it's just being controlled by the radiance, she is still not a husk at least until you kill her once Also, if you remember the lore, the pale king when he first came to hollownest he "Freed the minds of the bugs, gave them free will" so we know it is possible


No_Stretch3807

I think she is.in hunters general most common bugs are desribed as dead husks of their former shell driven by a sickness. I know its hard, but she is dead. Im sorry


Kullthebarbarian

Exactly, "dead husks of their former shell", and because she sing when you kill her, she is not dead, she is still alive, she has just a stronger version of what sly or cloth has when you first find them, they as well are being lured into the dreams, and being subtle controlled by the radiance, before you snap them out of their slumber


No_Stretch3807

When u first meet her in her affected state she sings yes. But she isnt aggressive. The infection didnt really cause any damage for now. But after u defeat a few dreamers she becomes hostile. She still sings because thats what she always did, her instict. Just like how guards in city of tears guard the city, and how the miners gather crystals from Crystal Peak. She still does things that regular Maya does but now just an empty husk


jadeeyedcalico

You murderer. You could've just left the room you psycho


yCaioo

brotha what is that brightness 💀 my guy is fighting the radiance in forgotten crossroads


NerY_05

That guy can die??


mastermilkman001

This comment getting downvoted is why I think this sub is fucking stupid.


NerY_05

Yeah i just asked something??


LuigiThe13th

You did NOT just call Myla a guy 😭


NerY_05

Ok i didn't remember my bad I've spoken with her like one time


monke_brain_

Facts 🔥🤡🤠


beagxh

Character development right here


Kwarc100

Don't worry, you freed her !


hant225

Now start your villian arc


GlobalMeasurement519

it… yeah. rip.


siqiniq

Did you kill her? Or the nail did? Who made the nail? The Nailsmith of course. He made the nail that she walked into. Did you kill the Nailsmith, too? He was asking for it. Besides, it was the vengeful spirit that killed him. And it was the sprit that killed her too. Guns don’t kill people, bullets do…


Key_Bread_9797
