Unlike her other appearances, she allows herself a respite to mourn the passing of her mother. If the Knight defeated Hornet at Kingdom's Edge before facing Herrah the Beast in Deepnest, Hornet appears next to them as they regain consciousness. She leaves again without saying a word after saving them. Her trust compels her to save the Knight caught in the collapse of the Cast-Off Shell, trapped under piles of white ash. She believes they would still continue their quest even after learning the truth of their conception at the bottom of the Abyss. Upon her defeat at the top of her strength, she allows the Knight to have the King's Brand burned onto their shell. This encounter does not occur if the Knight has defeated a Dreamer or visited either of the rooms just outside the Markoth and Hornet Sentinel boss fights.Īt Kingdom's Edge, Hornet wishes to test the Knight's resolve in one more battle before entrusting them with Hallownest's future. She then asks them before leaving to find her at the Cast-Off Shell if, knowing the truth, the Knight would still want to take part in Hallownest's perpetuation.

Finally understanding the truth behind their origin and their quest, she encourages them to learn of Hallownest's sacrifice. She, later on, catches up with the Knight at the Fountain Square in the middle of the drenched capital. Hornet reappears briefly before the end of the Pilgrim's Way in the Fungal Wastes, going in the direction of the City of Tears. They clash, and when defeated, Hornet flees without a word. Relating the Knight's quest to the awakening of the Infection, she denies them to pursue any further. The Knight finally catches up with her at the standing stones marking the entrance to the Lake of Unn, standing by the body of another Vessel. She is quickly seen two more times dashing away from them throughout the overgrown Pilgrim's Way. Hornet is first encountered at the entrance to Greenpath, where she observes the Knight before moving away. As their journey progresses, her involvement influences their quest in Hallownest. Hornet appears at first as a wandering and recurring antagonist to the Knight. In Hollow Knight: Silksong, she ends up captured and brought to the haunted kingdom of Pharloom. In Hollow Knight, she works to stop the impending doom looming on Hallownest. Like Quirrel and the Knight, she sensed the awakening of the Infection and started wandering Hallownest in search of answers. Hornet leaves him be after recognizing the mask, knowing that he was called upon, despite him not knowing it. She attempted to fight him but was repelled by the mask of Monomon he wears on his head. In her duties, she encountered Quirrel in the Howling Cliffs at his arrival in Hallownest. She also guards the Cast-Off Shell in the Kingdom's Edge which can grant the King's Brand, the key to the Abyss. She wanders its ruins, chasing off travellers who would seek to desecrate them, but also protecting the sealing of the Black Egg.

Raised in Deepnest, Hornet survived the Infection and the fall of the kingdom. Her shared father with the Knight and the rest of the Vessels makes them siblings. Her birth was the result of a bargain for her mother to become a Dreamer, and as such, she spent only a short time with Herrah. Hornet is the daughter of the Pale King and Herrah the Beast, the queen of Deepnest.
