How To Save Myla In Hollow Knight

Ghost when Myla isn't infected after beating hollow: *happy vessel noises and starts dancing*

My idea of saving Myla is just never talking to her. Shcrodinger's Myla. She isn't infected if you don't observe her being infected.

I love how HK players seem to have universally decided that rapidly going back and forth is the Knight's cute little happy dance.

I recently replayed my save remembering nothing. Went to peaks and went: oh! A miner enemy.... then i heard her yell after striking her down... i realized: oh no what have i done... YOU WERE MYLA

I like how you get AN ACHIEVEMENT for leaving Zote to be eaten by the vengefly

Correction about saving Myla, it can't actually be done. The song she is singing is the Radiance's song of victory, and she is already under the Radiance's influence when you first meet her, though not enough for her to be hostile to you EDIT: So you technically can save her if you get Dream no More or Godmaster endings, as Team Cherry apparently stated that the bugs with minor infections do not die after the infection is destroyed.

i love how you teach how to save every character except zote, you just teach us how to kill him

Poor Myla. I think Team Cherry erred in not including any way of canonically saving her for certain, because she's possibly the sweetest little bug in the entire game. 'course, you can technically save her just by not killing her even after she's corrupted until you get the 'Dream No More' ending and slay the Radiance, freeing all the bugs corrupted by its influence, but you never get to see this, and she's only saved by implication.

I don't know what's worse. That I saved Zote, or that I actually thought he was serious every time I met him until I tried one of the fool's trials. I deadass thought he was a hunter on a bad day, and that he was just an asshole because he couldn't admit he needed help back there 😭😭😭

I love how he just explains one of the most difficult speedrunning discoveries like it's just basics of the game

"You should save him to the Vengefly King" No, I don't think I will.

I do kind of like cloths end from a narrative perspective. It’s bittersweet and hits you in the feels. But at the same time. All future play through of mine will end with her alive because I can’t take it again

There’s another way to save Myla… and it’s defeating Pantheon of Hallownest, and destroying the Absolute Radiance

Cloth: Yay! a warrior lives another day! Myla: You have no emotion if you let Myla die >:( Zote: Chewing noises

I feel bad for Zote. To me he is a character who desperately wanted to become a valiente and heroic person. He tried his hardest to become that hero by putting himself through rigorous training and taking on dangerous enemies. In the end he was unable to change. It’s sort of sad really….

I'm so sorry Myla, I just wish I could hear your singing again. Hear the crumble of rock beneath you pickaxe as you swing it. The beam of your hardhat flashlight will always shine in my heart. It would always give light to what would be a cold dark heart without you. You would always glance back as I came through your tunnel. I became busier and busier, your smile would give me strength for wield my nail. No matter how many times I passed by you, you sung. I could see the sparkle and crack of each rock being split, every rock you kick, every pile you would carry away. When you left it felt like someone carried you away. You were more than a diamond in the rough, you were the reason why these mines would glow I mean it. I cry every night hoping someday I'll see you again.

I prefer to leave Zote struggling in Deepnest. He will stay there forever if you don't save him. So far he has been there for three months already uwu

I saved Zote from everything my first playthrough. My second time i left him to die to the Vengefly King and spent a good five minutes playing keepy-uppy with his skull XD

There is another conclusion to Zote's story, it ends with him being trapped in one of the coliseum cages. I think it involves saving him in greenpath and talking to him in the city of tears and deepnest

Myla was one of my favourite NPC's of all time. She might not say or do much. But she is just one of those memorable characters
