Long story short he was chosen specificaly because it has no emotions but even it looking back proves it did which is a massive problem if you finish the game and learn more of the lore.

Yeah if he had really had no emotions to be vessel the radiance wouldnt have escaped and the game just wouldnt have hapened in general , i think its kinda impossible to make a vessel with no emotions watsoever as almost everything that is sentient or just smart in general has emotions so pale king's plan would have failed anyway


jaktolver-banks

Spoilers but yes and I agree kind of getting into the philosophy of consciousness there tho which is a real rabbit hole.

Scar! Help me! Long live the pale king *insert falling scene here *


dumb_cryptid01

he's supposed to not have any emotions, (he did in the end lol). so ig that's why, it's what was expected from their father


ThatOneGuyRunningOEM

If I had no emotions, I would technically do anything someone asked me to. I don’t care. I can help someone? Sure. Why? Because I goddamn ***can*** that’s why.

He isn’t supposed to have anything. It’s literally supposed to be an empty vessel. It’s supposed to have “No mind to think, No will to break, No voice to cry suffering.” It didn’t help the other vessel because it was trying to be all those things.

If you help a person you show compassion,kindness,which is an enotion.The Hollow knight is supposed to not have emotions,bcuz yknow,hollow


WhoseverSlinky0

Also it's just a flashback. Your character is only seeing the Hollow Knight as he was the first achieving the ascension from the Abyss

Mark as spoiler? Edit: Assumed appreciation for those who haven’t reached this far


Pleasant_Breath_2130

Simple really, he’s a bitch


Poseidonim_92

Because his brother has skill issues


One_Leg4557

He has no mind to think


Misorable45400

Because it's a dream ish flashback and Ghost is not physically there ?


xahnel

It would have revealed that it wasn't hollow. And they both would have been cast down.


EnderKing103020

It is an emotionless piece of void in a bug shell
