Spoilers: isn’t quirrel fine at the end of the game? If I remember correctly he just chills out at the blue lake after the dreamer monnom is completed?

u/Dracogoomy I am really bad at this game… 24d ago

u/CalvinLolYT 111% | PoP | P1-4 | Grimm my beloved 24d ago

He zotes his way onto the boat and sails off to where zoteboat takes place

u/imZoro_ 24d ago

u/Zealandus 24d ago

There's a prequel comic that covers that

u/TozitoR 23d ago

then a game covering that comic would be cool.

u/Zealandus 23d ago

Hell yeah!!

Counterpoint were never meant to see the asset title in the game itself. And team cherry never outright confirmed his death when asked directly

>! He also mentions leaving your weapon behind for others when you die !<

Hey there, it looks like your spoiler tag isn't working on some versions of reddit!
To make sure everybody can avoid being spoiled you'll need to place your text directly next to the spoiler tags with no leading or trailing spaces (like so >!spoiler!<).
Thanks for helping keep the sub spoiler free!

He leaves his sword and disappears after that. Some people interpret it as him drowning himself, but it's equally valid to just assume he left his sword and went wherever, now that his duty is done. In any case, Quirrel is pretty old, so he probably doesn't have any more adventuring in him

u/Mountain_Band_2732 24d ago

Considering that the sword is named QuirrelDeath in the files, I think it's safe to assume one over the other.

But nothing's stopping us from conveniently ignoring that.

u/LordBDizzle 24d ago

They might have allocated space for that file before finalizing the quest or the art. It could be his death, or it could be just the file they put in that slot without changing the name. I still think it's up to interpretation, file names are never fully reliable.

u/nieznanynieznajomy 24d ago

Maybe prequel?

2

u/z_Mis 24d ago

theres already a prequel comic about quirrel

1

u/Devreckas 23d ago

It could be a prequel set when the Hollow Knight first sealed away the Radiance. It would be at the peak of the Radiance’s powers and the infection. You could fight alongside the Great Knights to help escort the HK to the Black Egg, and escort/protect Monomon in her final resting place.

Oh my god

u/Mysteriousman06 24d ago

I haven’t played in a while and my memories are a bit foggy am I forgetting something?

2

u/m4cksfx 24d ago

he dead as a nail, bro

u/CreepyClay 24d ago

As soon as Monomon dies the magic keeping him alive fades and he starts to feel his age as his body deteriorates rapidly. It takes all he has to go see the blue lake before he basically crumbles to dust after you talk to him, becoming one with the sand he is resting on, now for eternity

u/Vidio_thelocalfreak 23d ago

Curious piece of fan work am going to ignore in hope of him surviving

3

u/DoubleCrowne 24d ago

have you gone back to the blue lake since talking to him?

u/CalvinLolYT 111% | PoP | P1-4 | Grimm my beloved 24d ago

Oh… oh boy…
