It is also interesting to note that in an hidden room inside the White Palace there is a mould being from, much likely, The Collector and lots of armor suits resembling Wingmoulds and Kingsmoulds. There is also the question that intrigues me: A creature like that… What did he desire? In the long run, abusing the power of the void made it go berserk and caused the kingsmoulds to attack. My theory? The king used the power of the void to create powerful bodyguards to protect himself and since they are made of the void they would more likely resist the plague. What is the nature of this constructs? Did you notice when killing a kingsmould that the body inside is black and will dissipate much like the hollow knight or his siblings? Why are there dead kingsmoulds in the throne chamber near the corpse of the king? Was there a battle there between them and the king? And why are the kingsmoulds attacking the hollow knight on sight whereas the royal retainers even bows to the hollow knight (the vessels are supposed to be protected and revered since they are the plague’s salvation)?

A creature like that… What did he desire? Hunter also says: They say the old King died long ago, but his influence echoes around us still. Its heavy white armor protects a fragile body. Kingsmould: Guard construct of Hollownest’s palace and skilled wielder of the curved claw-blade. Wingmould: A fly-like construct formed of white shell and a dark liquid interior. Royal Retainer: The most loyal devout servants of the king. Secondly, why did the devs chose a Kingsmould and not a Royal Retainer to enter the palace? Was this arbitrary? Here is the description of the individuals encountered in the White Palace: Also, you can also find kingsmoulds in the inner most parts of the palace. It’s interesting to note that his mind is heavily guarded and only if you obtained the awakened dream nail can you enter the palace.

Maybe that’s why we can get access to all the palace through one of the kingsmould’s mind. The kingsmoulds, I suspect, could be like the elite bodyguards of the king having access to the inner most parts of the palace. I bet that only a handful of bugs could even enter the king’s chambers for example. It seems to me that the king made every effort to live a secluded life, only allowing the most loyal bugs to get permission to enter the palace.

The only thing that can be found in the Ancient Basin is the door to the palace along with a dead guard (Kingsmould). So far as we know, what happened to the Pale King as well as the White Palace is still shrouded in mystery but there are some interesting things I notice that may lead to some interpretations.įirstly, we know that sometime after the infection the palace and the king suddenly disappeared without a trace.
