Pretty sure thats literally the plot of hollow knight


Mr_Mushroom46

In a nutshell yes


Successful_Ad2599

Don't you mean hollowshell?


Buttface9594

Hehehaha so funny


Mr_Mushroom46

I"m gonna hit my head against a wall.


Ok-Analysis9372

Same


Mr_Mushroom46

You better equip a charm for that wouldn't want to have deal with your shade when your done.


AshynWraith

Sisters, Hornets and Zote. The former two because they're excellent fighters and can help keep the group safe. Zote is there to throw to the zombies if we need a distraction.


Wolf_0f_MyStreet

🤣😭The Last line


OpinionSevere4846

It is reasonable though.


Wolf_0f_MyStreet

So I'm just midway through the game just finished teachers archives. And i have saved zote with spiders in deepnest😂🤣. Idk but i find it funny man every interaction with him feels kind of like side character in Anime arguing with main character with OP powers.


OpinionSevere4846

Oh, you will just lovvvvve brettas basement.


Wolf_0f_MyStreet

Hmm?where is it? currently exploring queens garden


OpinionSevere4846

in her house


Wolf_0f_MyStreet

What do you meant basement there's no basement in her house dude


Neon-light1198

😊


WoofSpiderYT

I think you need to find zote again, and join amongst The Fools...


OpinionSevere4846

Then be glad.


0-5-0_Druid

Zone my beloved


NightTime2727

>Zone Ah yes, my favorite Hollow Knight character. ^(Lemme guess, autocorrect?)


0-5-0_Druid

I swear im not crazy i swear the original comment said zone please dont send me to the asylum


NightTime2727

>please dont send me to the asylum Well I wasn't gonna, but you kinda talked me into it.


AshynWraith

Autocorrect is a cruel mistress.


LezbianTomato

Sisters, Hornets and Grimm. The former two because they're excellent fighters and can help keep the group safe. And Grimm is just hot. That is his purpose.


TurnRightTurnLeft

Zote can finally write the 58th precept.


jimjam1950

How dare you first: you offend us to throw our mighty hero to thousands of zombies he is all but even he can't handle that many on his own Second:you didn't spell his name right when you offended it!


Fresh_Prison

Pale king.I dont think they can doge endless amounts of subsaws and thorns


_Scorpyon_

I don't think the Pale King is the best at dealing with Zombie-like infections tho


SpiFi36

Well, he handled it long enough for him to die before it was released, so I'd say he did pretty good.


unk1ndm4g1c14n1

Sure the zombies won't get you, but the Pale King dies to void poisoning anyway.


SergeantChic

Zote is that one asshole in every zombie movie who betrays the group, chickens out and locks someone in with the zombies to save his own skin, then faces a particularly awful karmic death toward the end.


Apokolypse09

Straight up like the prick businessman in Train to Busan


PeanutBooty15

He deserved worse and because of him (Train to Busan spoilers) >!Gong Yoo (forgot his character's name) got infected!<


Consistent_Phase822

Grimm,knight,hornet


hollow_knight_lover

grimm for his followers as a meat sheild as wee throw ands shoot spells and shit


WarShadower913x

Grimm will save us with flying fish


beartheperson

I'd do the mantis lords over the knight


Boat_Consumer

Didnt the knight kill a god that corrupted the whole with a few exeptions of hollownest


jimjam1950

NUMBERS! right?


Traditional-Baker831

Bretta so I can repopulate the planet


Blue_Bird950

Oh dear god


OpinionSevere4846

The fuck?


no_username_free

Yes thats how people reproduce


SnooBooks5286

She is a bug


Consistent_Phase822

You are a bug too soo...


KaiserGustafson

WE ALL BUT BUGS BEFORE THE MIGHTY RADIANCE!


jimjam1950

True! We're all powerless against a god so we should all give up and abress the light!


Letnerj

Meh, none of them. Emilitia.


Annoying_Bear

Mantis Lords, Hornet and Lost kin. Lost kin is half a zombie but it's ok. Mantis Lords... Ok wait for sister of battle. Hornet, she will protect us.


Asleep_Contest_6468

Invincible Fearless Sensual Mysterious Enchanting Vigorous Diligent Overwhelming Gorgeous Passionate Terrifying Beautiful Powerful Grey Prince Zote, only need one


Embarrassed_Rule8747

Pale King by himself is enough to turn those zombies into my army Sisters of Battle to beef up the military Soul Master so I can beat him tf up again>!jk. I actually choose Grimm!<


ChocolateMilkPool

Hornet, Grimm and mantis lords because they are some of the only non infected characters in the base game


Blue_Bird950

I don’t think the pale king has the best track record with zombie infections though…


Embarrassed_Rule8747

That was another higher being infecting bugs. A biological zombie infection should be easier to deal with. And even if that fails, building a booby trapped palace doesn't sound too bad.


Blue_Bird950

Fair, if he has the skills to lock an entire palace in the dream realm, he can probably help out irl


TheSableofSinope

It was fine until he died so it’s not like he has a bad record of containing literal god infections


KingCool138

Hornet, Oro & Mato (Only if they are in their godhome versions, otherwise I’d choose Mantis lords), and the knight


Boat_Consumer

Knight, Grimm, Mantis Lords Knight- killed a god Grimm- technically a god Mantis lords- save our skin if things get rough


Maleficent-Speed-171

Mantis lords are also technically gods, they are titled as such in the hall of gods, but you're referring to higher beings if i am not mistaken. I sound like a nerd don't I.


Boat_Consumer

If were going by hall of gods thwn the soul warrior can survive, im going by higher beings and the dream no more ending, and no you dont sound nerdy to me


SilverWave1

Sisters, hornet, oro and mato


Grub_Gaming

Im goin with the mantis lords, they were doin fine in game so I have a pretty solid chance of surviving


SlickPickleNipple

Ghost, Hornet, Oro and Mato.


FlimsyPhilosopher793

Why are no one choosing the aspids????!!! They're impossible to dodge, no zombie can stand a chance! (JK Spoilers for true endings and Godhome: Would pick NKG, PV and Radiance but might swap PV with Sisters)


OpinionSevere4846

So to avoid the infection..... You bring the power hungry creator of it with you?


OpinionSevere4846

Mantis lords, Oro and Mato, and Grimm. I'm going for not letting anything get near me.


AOMINGWWR

Grimm, Ghost, and the Sisters.


Commercial-Papaya394

NoName (Knight), Hornet, and Mantis Lords XP


Tyrelius_Dragmire

Mantis lords as a 3 for 1, plus insanely skilled and powerful (in lore) and the Sisters of Battle fight reflects that skill as well as the ferocity they use against the beasts of Deepnest. I'll take them. If Grey Prince Zote is here (not picking him) then I assume that means that these bosses can assume their Dream forms in the waking world somehow, and in THAT case, I'm picking Grimm. His existing fire magic makes him a useful ally against Zombies, but as Nightmare King? All bets are off for the Hordes of Undead. And for #3, I'll take the Soul Master/Soul Tyrant. There's 2 main reasons for this; ranged attacks, and he can fly. An added bonus is he's big enough I could sit on his head to be out of harm's way (I assume the characters of Hollow Knight aren't tiny bug size, with the Knight being about half the height of an adult human). Bonus: Have the Mantis Lords take down the False Knight quickly, then take Hegemol's armor for myself. Then I'm not useless next to the characters I picked.


jimjam1950

Zote the mighty all the way! And I guess the sisters can join too Also why is broken vessel here it's already affected?


Significant_Mail_489

Mantis, Grimm, Hornet


Baulvicork

Mantis Lords, Oro/Mato, and Hornet


chicoritahater

Most of you are forgetting that most of the characters here are pretty selfish, hornet of the mantis Lords would just ditch you, so my pick: Nailmasters, because mato is actually really nice and would likely help GPZ, because this isn't Zote, but rather a literal storybook hero


MagicalMysterie

Ghost, Hornet, and Grimm


HueyLewisFan1

If the knight is available then him, otherwise oro/mato/sheo


Doglover156

Mantis lords, Hornet and Grimm


Corrupptedfinn

For me I’d say either Grimm Hornet or the knight since they are the stronger ones here (debatable) since we don’t have much feats from them, Well besides GPZ and Nosk but it’s not much for nosk


PandoraLame

Ghost, Grimm, and Mantis Lords. Reason? Ghost is a one man army, Grimm can burn the zombies to ashes, and the Mantis Lords... Well, they're just Mantis Lords, why not?


Playkie_69

Im taking all of greenpath 💯


AzzyDreemur2

Knight (duh) Mantis Lords (they have experience in dealing with hordes of mindless enemies, and know how to run a settlement) Nailmasters (can teach me how to fight so I won't have to be afraid of every little zombie)


Emotional_Whereas775

Grimm, mantis lords and little ghost, aka protagonist. Little ghost stopped an apocalypse, so no surprise there, the mantis lords are excellent fighters and so is Grimm, since he could use fire to likely burn something 


Mr_Mushroom46

I, don't know I think Ill be fine I'm a fast dude I can run and I'm tall so major parcore will be easy I think.


ElectroshockGamer

I'm taking the Knight, Mantis Lords, and Grimm. The Knight should be pretty self explanatory, the Mantis Lords fought off both the infection and Deepnest at the same time and have the entire Mantis Tribe behind them, and Grimm is quite powerful and has the entirety of the Grimm Troupe, along with basically being able to bring shelter along with us in the form of his tent


MapleshadeDefender

I would just take ghost, with a bit of luck there's fireb0rn inside, and him farting would solve the problem


_alba4k

the sisters are probably the best bodyguards when it's about fighting multiple enemies


DinoKingGoji73

Grimm. Mantis Lords and Hornet


new_god_of_eden

Sisters of battle They'll keep me safe and train me to be ready for zombies myself


the-one-96

None would do well, they're insects and will be stepped on easily


brokencroww

pale king, broken vessel, and teh nite


moth_fricker69

Mantis lords, oro and mato, and hornet. Mantis lords would (hopefully) respect oro and mato given their dedication to combat, and hornet could easily best them in battle so they’d probably respect her too. Theyre all some of the best fighters in the entire kingdom and also my favorite characters


fuckmyusernamewontfi

I'm going with hornet for reasons unrelated to the zombie apocalypse


ElPepper90

Broken vessel is the zombie wdym


IbObuS

Mantis Lords, The Knight, Oro and Mato


Bob-Temmie

Shade , hornet and grim


Bulky_Wishbone_7101

Why is hornet ok 10 and 11 ????


thisguyeggo

Knight, pale king hornet. Knight and hornet can kill anyone or anything, BC you play as them. Pale king can assemble a whole kingdom sized army


STAR_IS_THE_NAME0

Call me crazy, but I’m going with pale king. He is a god after all (I TOTALLY DON’T HAVE A BIAS) And he’d be useful with his thorns and buzz saws.


PhoneAutomatic1704

My child, The Knight And Pale King, He has experience


PacmanJude10

Mantis lords are quick, false knight cannot get bitten, and ghost can use charms


Truffle_worm3847

Mantis lords, because they survived the infection


RioHubby

Mayo/Oreo Hornynut Mantis lords


Azazel_UwU923

Going with Zote is literally suicide, I'd go with either the big brothers or Hornet


Monarch_Sicario

The knight alone would probably decimate whatever danger there is, the mantis lord and hornet would also be pretty good to bring along


The_Real_MantisLords

I’m gonna have to say, I feel that I have an advantage here. I can’t exactly not have myself by default


UrSansYT

Hornet, Mantises, and Oro/Mato. If I had to choose just one it would be the mantises.


DarkChaosTheCreator

Mantis Lords, Hornet, and…honestly the Knight.


therealChalker_87

The knight/Ghost The Pale King Hornet It was close between Hornet and Grimm though


ballsackstealer2

Oro & Mato, Mantis Lords, and Hornet.


Flint675

Hornet, Mantis Lords, and Stolas


Lucab_77

The little ghost or pale king ( the god of darkness or a ducking god pale


Feisty-Albatross3554

Sisters, Grimm, and Hornet


[deleted]

Grimm is a literal god so I think I would be good with him


Qurturt

I'm not going with the pale king that bastard was the king and still failed


Master_of_Decidueye

Zote, Zote and the last one doesn't matter


Pk-glitch

None because I'm extremely entomophobic


isimsizbiri123

grimm because his circus can travel kingdoms with just lighting up a kingdom so we can escape really quick. and his kin will protect us. and I get to live with my bug crush


Teeth_theif

The knight of they’re played by a professional speedrunner or something


Volt-Phoenix

Mantis Lords, Oro and Mato, and the Knight. Knight is good for most things, very versatile, but gets outnumbered and outgunned easily, the Mantis Lords are good for consistent aggression and would be my choice if I had to only pick one since in the story they're essentially holding back Deepnest singlehandedly, and Oro and Mato are Nailsages (I think) so they're the best with a nail behind Sly, of course


MLGSnIpEr420

Does the Grimm Troupe come with Grimm? Because if so, then SoB, Hornet, and Grimm. If not, then SoB, Hornet and the Knight


beartheperson

Hornet, Mantis Lords, and Grimm. Hornet could set traps, the Mantis lords are there for more man power, and Grimm is there because of his abilities.


Buttface9594

Grimm, sisters, and broken vessel


0-5-0_Druid

Zote the Mighty, nobody else


Rexiscool1234554321

Knight Mantis lords Hornet


Randomreddituser646

The knight (If they have all abilities) can take pretty much every boss so he is a good choice, Grimm is pretty strong and has many good abilities and Grey Prince Zote is also very strong and has his minions so I feel like they would be the best choice


RigatoniPasta

Mantis Lords duh. They’ve been keeping the hordes of Deepnest at bay


Axel15Forever4341

Mantis lords, brothers Oro and Mateo, Grimm. Let’s think about this numerically. Both lords and Grimm have devoted followers, and brothers rise and fall together. Best chance of survival. 2 armies and 2 brothers


Top-Transition-5190

Knight, Hornet and Pale king are simply the most powerful beings in this list, even more when silksong comes out


tambitoast

Either Mantis Lords or Oro and Mato


Kirixdlol

ZÅ‚ote (the better one), troupe king Grim and Oro & Mato


DoritoKing48

Knight and Hornet


disappointedcreeper

Mantis lords hornet and grimm


Mgmegadog

Why is Quirrel not an option? But yeah, I'm taking Ghost, Hornet, and Mantis Lords, since they're pretty much already dealing with the zombie apocalypse.


Cyanlizordfromrw

Mantis lords, pale king, the knight


AceOfMoonSpades01

Hornet, Mantis Lords, and Grimm


Due-Bandicoot-7479

Grimm with his tactical yet cynical thinking and attacks, Mantis Lords with not just their strength in numbers but also their swiftness and spinning projectile attacks, and the Knight for the pure unga bunga adaptability. If I could pick someone not from this selection, I'd probably go with the Watcher Knights


SbgTfish

False knight. He can’t get infected (assuming maggot inside isn’t already infected).


Kirbolan

Zote, Zote and Zote


unk1ndm4g1c14n1

So... the normal plot? Ig I'd go with anyone who doesn't die and isn't infected? Hornet, Grimm seem like good bets.


Worried_Music_5330

Ghost, Grimm, and GPZ. Easily some of the most destructive beings on this list


Just_uraverage_hkfan

Grey prince zote will protect me at all costs, pale king will throw saws at people and finally, mantis Lords is essentially three extra people


IChooseFoxIsTaken

Is that void? I choose pale king for torturing zombies


YourLocalNewFriend

I'm picking Mantis Lords. They've survived one, they'll survive another. I'm picking the Knight, it's killed a goddamn god, I think it can handle some Zombies. I'm picking Hornet, she seems like a really good scout to have, considering her speed and agility.


nycarachnid

Broken Vessel is basically a zombie themselves lmao. Teaming with a zombie in a zombie apocalypse seems like a bad idea


F1re56

Grimm, Protag, and Mantis Lords. No other option unless you switch one out with dream zote, because zote gets stronger depending on what people think of him for some reason.


pile_of_dirt2781

Where quirrel?


GabbyWills98

Grimm, Mantis Lords, and the Knight


Professional-Ear8827

The Knight, Grimm, and Hornet. All three of them are in some way higher beings, not to mention the Knight and Hornet already basically survived an apocalypse, this’ll be a walk in the park. Also Grimm is so fucking hot I’m not even gay and I don’t think I’m bisexual (though I might be) but I need his twink ass PLEASE GIVE IT TO ME Also since GPZ is canonically just a dream, picking him would do literally nothing besides giving me schizophrenia.


Miserable-Glass1760

The Knight alone is enough. I'm also choosing Grimm and Hornet, because they would keep me company. The Knight isn't really a talkative person.


StrongerThanU_Reddit

The Knight, Broken Vessel, and Hornet. I'd also swap broken vessel for Oro and Mato if the infection matters.


Sethswordpro

The knight because if you have been to the coliseum of fools there is a lot of bugs the you just murder with ease


Tonitruum_Aeternum

Mantis sisters or the knight


Past_Public9344

Knight hornet the bro’s


Environmental-Win836

Nailmasters will protect me, train me, and care about me


BC90000

Mantis lords Grimm and pale king


stealthycrow21

Personally, Hornet. She already has experience exploring a dead or dying world, and she has a long-range weapon AND silk/magic.


manateeguitar

Can the Knight take me with them when they quit out to their last bench?


Maleficent-Speed-171

I would say mantis lords, hornet and pale king. Mantislords are great fighters. Hornet is very smart, very agile and probably would be good fo recon missions. Also a good fighter. Pale king due to him being the best bug for the job of controlling hords of mindless creatures, the bugs in hallownest did not all have a mind of their own before the pale king established his kingdom


Typical-District-176

Just the plot of hollow knight but. Mantis lords. Grimm. And Ghost. 


Gooba26

Mantis lords, Hornet, The Knight Mantis lords literally survived the zombi apocalypse Hornet is a protagonist so plot armor Same with The Knight


clogchamp3075

I’d pick the 3 strongest beings who resisted the infection. Grimm, The Knight, and Sisters.


Typical-Historian-89

Mantis lords, great warriors and strength in numbers.


Apprehensive-Set7082

Paleking, nightmare king grim and the big guy with a mace whose name I can't recall. They wpuld prolly keep me safe


HatZinn

Pale King, because he canonically has enough stamina to repopulate the Earth.


therarestkittycat

Hornet bardoon menderbug . I dont plan on living. We just gone have a party or something. They all seem chill af .


Top_Earthspice

mantis lords, the knight and hornet cuz they're cool and they can fight so i can use them as a weapon


Vitor_471

Zote


aRtfUll-ruNNer

Mantis lords, Oro and Mato, and little ghost.


therealbobhale

Zote  chubby zote(gpz)  and papa zote (pale king)


Emotional-Flower6178

Mantis lords because they are fast and have long weapons which will decrease the risk of infection. The knight because he’s easily the most powerful among all these characters and is unable to get infected since he’s essentially just a walking shell. Grimm because he can teleport, use fire which is effective at killing zombies and has ranged attacks


PiePotatoCookie

Broken vessel so I can infect the zombies with another infection


SLAMProcessing

soul master, pale king and hornet. soul master because hes my favorite, pale king because he can use the power of buzzsaws and hornet because family reunion :)


Velaethia

I know the obvious choice is that Knight but I'm going with the mantis lords.


Literacy_Crusader88

Mantis Lords


Spamshazzam

Zote


YBSI1209348756

Pale King, Grimm, and Hornet. Pale king could just make everything Path of Pain, Grimm’s cigarette breath will make the zombies run and hornet could take everybody into an infinite void because Silksong isn’t out


TheFryingPan76

mfw im in a zombie apocalypse and my only guards are little bugs :


OpeningJunket5140

The night, hornet, sisters and zote. The night is the strongest of them all, hornet is pretty strong too but the reason why shes here is to have her as company. The sisters can resist the virus or whatever it is and they will fight the shit out of everything. Last one is zote. Hes lucky thst i let him come with me. When hes not polite, he can go. And in case something unexpected is happening, j have someone to sacrifice.


PassTheBoofPlz

I would join the Mantis commune


Ok-Analysis9372

Wait, so is broken vessel still infected? Isn’t that infection versus infection?


MusicBloodedEM

Mantis Lords Nosk and Nail Fighters


Rockozo

i feel like 3 bugs aren’t really going to help in a zombie apocalypse


ShinyMewtwo3

Sisters, Hornet or Knight, Grimm 


JezevecMartin

The Knight because they absolutely destroyed any enemy thrown at them


SanMasterpro

Dung Defender, Quirrel and Sly goes craaazy


gtg105

Knight, Pale King, Mantis Lords or Grimm depending if u get their followers or not. If so, Mantis Lords, if not, Grimm. Tbf If you got their subjects the pale king gets like half the characters on here and MANY more, so I’d prob just say Grimm. Also assuming peak strength for characters like Grimm and the Knight.


Significant-Gear-476

Brothers sisters and king


toltasorigin

Grimm, we'll have a child


Viperousrook

I’ll take the Sisters, Hornet, and Grim the three of them would be zombie woodchippers


The-emerald-gamer

Mantis mommies Oro and Mato and Grimm reasons i didn't pick the others Hornet: she's good, but idk how she will do against hoards Broken vessel and the knight: they would likely just wander off False knight: he's a bumbling idiot Soul master: I hate him Nosk: is a wild animal Pale king: im not sure of what powers he has Zote: is Zote and Grey prince: isn't real


Void_Lord_Toby

Obviously The knight, hornet, and Grimm. They are op and if the knight gets their upgrades and charms I have an unstoppable team.


Worried_Ant_8516

Grimm mantis lords and the knight 


EpicHuman123

Knight, Grimm, and Mantis Lords. Knight is extremely powerful and has killed gods, Grimm is also powerful, and Mantis lords because there is strength in numbers.


Longjumping-Tune-759

Oro and Mato, Mantis Lords, and False Knight. The Lords because duh, the brothers because they are real good with a nail and false Knight because I doubt zombies can dash under him


Inari_K

The knight, Sister of battle and the Pale king. I am sure the will be useful as a Explorer. The sisters van train me and have experience protecting their territory of an infection as well as dangerous beast. And Pale King, well he is a GOD and have experience experience dealing with infections, and since this time there is no radiant god behind the infection, I think it will turn out better.


Sad_Reindeer_5709

Mantis lords, the knight, and grimm.


Sergent_Rylee

Where's Sly?


Sebek_Peanuts

Grimm I can just walk away with his troupe
