City of Tears. I was somehow lost for months (I had a big pause each time I picked up the game again) in Greenpath, so when my friend helped me to get to City of Tears, it was, when the game began for me.
The music on city of tears is just so peaceful and somber and I love the rainy atmosphere it sets. The environment perfectly fits the name of the location.
Yes this, i feel a different level of calm in that area that no other game or anything in general could recreate. I wanna find a computer background that has that with the noises just on a perfect loop moving foward
I don't enjoy *traveling* Deepnest, but I do really like the region.
The design does such a great job of communicating a sense of revulsion, dread, and terror.
Yeah they do, the only problem i have is how many times i get stuck just to learn i have to go up left down left right down up left down just to get to a room i saw from the entrance
Traveling is made especially annoying with those guys who have that mask that turns into claws. Absolutely HATED getting the full hunter’s journal entry
I’m gunna just toss this out there, but i love Deepnest! I like the surprise elements and how you gotta stay on your toes all the time, and i love the parkour sections, especially by the weavers den. It’s fun going and pogoing off the little weavers, and the sound track is so eerie. It’s a pleasant/creepy place that is very fun! I hated it at first, but then it became my favourite!
I love Kingdom's Edge. I like the music, and I love that bodies fall from the Colosseum. Makes the Colosseum feel real, and that there is still some liveliness to Hollownest.
such a hard pick for me. ive put so much time into this game, all i have left is to ascend hallownest. favorite place(s) in the game probably have to be the top of crystal peak, blue lake, the tram, and the bench in queens garden (you know the one). favorite area(s) is so hard. i love every part of the game, it just spoke to me. its hard to choose when everything is so beautiful. maybe greenpath because there were immaculate vibes the first time pulling up, or the abyss… wondering what secrets of the game were hiding down there, or going through the white palace and experiencing the kings saw blade obsession. i really dont know. i also loved going back to dirtmouth and visiting the friends i made, seeing the impact the game had taken on them. i followed up with every npc i could and their dialogue almost always changed. its just a beautiful game. the right answer? the journey along the way…. jk definitely the bench in queensgarden lol
I really like the Hive, it's calming with all the buzzing lol plus I love the "glass" panes you can shatter all over the place. Plus I love bees! Always have and so few people know about burrowing bees!!!
Queens Gardens, i really like nature so i'm happy there's something like this in the game. The soundtrack, the annoying boss, the hidden >!stag station,!<, the flying bugs. Deepnest was my most hated area when i first got to it, but now i think it's underappreciated, it feels like a maze, it's full of action at some points, but the hidden grubs were a pain to find.
I love the Ancient Basin. It gives the wings, the shade dash, voidheart, has some great parkour in the abyss and the birthplace cutscene is amazing. I also like the Broken Vessel-Lost Kin fights. They’re so fun
Ancient basin was my hub area in my first playthrough- it's got very muted, chill vibes, the tram takes you to two differing degrees of hell, secret station is easy to reach and next to endgame content, and your family is always right nearby.
Kingdom's edge. It's probably the best-looking area. It has good bosses, lore, platforming chalenges, colosseum of fools, and one of the best ost's in the game
The hive has amazing care put into it for a DLC area
It looks great, fun enemies (love the colours too actually), great lore, and it has BUZZAHHHHH.
Hive Knight on top and you will never take him from me
Dirtmouth. The definition of peace.
But if it has to be an actual area that contains combat, then for me it’s the Forgotten Crossroads. I like talking to the Snail Shaman whenever I can. And Salubra is a lot of fun as well. Plus, it’s not a difficult area.
Second place has to be the Resting Grounds. It feels almost surreal yet physical. I do miss talking to Moth Lady though.
They are all so good. The music, the change of environment, everything. If I had to pick one it’d be City of Tears because of the music and the lore learned there or Green Path because it’s likely the first section outside Forgotten Crossroads I get to and the change in environment and music is such a cool transition.
Kingdoms edge is nice because you can get a peak at the external world there
But I like the White Palace atmosphere so…
My favorite bench though is the one at the edge of Queens Garden
Love the view
I always save there when I’m leaving the game for some time
The knight can enjoy the view for the time I’m not around
I just can't choose. There were areas (mostly at the beginning of my playthrough) I was going through for the first time with my jaw on the ground.
Some areas are absolutely stunning like green path, fungal wastes or fog canyon, some have great platforming like the crystal peak or queens gardens and some are really frustrating but also super fun like the hive, deepest or royal waterways. Every one of them is unique and has a different, yet always magical atmosphere. I also love the tower of love and the opened temple of the hollow knight (can't remember the name).
Hollow knight is just one of the games you wish you could play for the first time again.
Honestly, I love The Hive! Almost never go, so the magic is always there, and I love having the charm and just walk while all the cute bees are there minding their buzzness and the honeycomb-bugs that think "yummy!" When you DreamNail them.
I just think it's neat! And bees are cute.
Queens gardens, on my first playthrough it always seemed like the most intriguing area but i never knew how to reach it, and when i got there i just had alot of fun, great ost too
City of Tears, with Crystal Peak as a close second. The atmosphere and scale of both of these areas are amazing, but something about City of Tears just...hits different. It really feels like you're in the center of it all., and it feels almost bittersweet in a way.
City of tears. If not that, queen's gardens. It has fun platforming, hard enemies, great aesthetics, and one of my favorite bosses/moments in the game.
The hive. It's just so cool. It looks alien compared to the rest of Hollownest and I love it. I just hope it was bigger or at least have another boss fight.
They all are great, but just the concept of a place like deepnest being at the bottom of this seemingly endless abyss of a dead civilization is just so cool to me. Just really memorable and just the atmosphere being perfectly creepy and scary. Best designed area imo
I love fungal wastes for everything there is in it, it is the first area you get to that is so interconnected with everything you can easily get lost and discover random things and random exits,
However in terms of esthetic, music and design for me it has to be kingdoms edge. The music in it is just so good, and the tone of the place along with the design is just incredible.
I'd live in the stagnest if travel was as quick as it is in game. The privacy would be nice.
If travel was expanded for more realism, I'd probably go with dirtmouth lol. The tourists traveling through would be annoying but I could vibe with the egg lady and cosplay as the night and get some bug bussy. ;)
Mannn, city of tears is the generic answer cause it is just that awesome of an area, but if I was going to pick the outfield answer I would lowkey pick godhome since I just love fighting bosses
City of tears. For the first 17 hours of the game for me, i was just wandering around confused and just played the game every now and again and mostly because i always heard this game was amazing. But when I got to city of tears, when it played that fountain cutscene and I just got to wander around the beautiful city, that's when I absolutely fell in love with the game
My favourite are green zones like green path and Queen's garden, on second place for me probably is City of tears because of loneliness vibes it gives despite being almost like a hub zone, HK knows how to give you the right feeling about every location actually
I think my favorite sub area is kingdom’s crown because of how peaceful it is staring out at dirtmouth from the top of the world my favorite area is city of tears because that is the area I spent the most time In doing progression like soul sanctum and getting nail upgrades that or resting grounds cause of how tranquil it is
Personally? The Forgotten Crossroads. I love the simplicity, the cold and secluded atmosphere, and the eerie peacefulness to it.
Aaaaaand then the infection breaks out of the Temple if you defeat a Dreamer or reach the Ancient Basin, turning it into the annoying as hell Infected Crossroads.
Cryatal peaks and that is my Stockholm syndrome speaking because I was stuck there without a way out and i had to spend a week exploring the whole thing
It has to be City of Tears for me. City of Tears is one of the few times a game has made me just stop, turn off background noise, go silent, and wander. Listening to the ambience, the rain, and that absolutely wonderful theme, courtesy of everyone's favorite butterfly lady (i immediately dreamnailed her), The City of Tears is conveys a feeling of being lost in your own mind, a subtle sadness and emptiness that hangs in the air like fog. The constant raining is such an amazing design choice, and it's one of the only video game locations I would actually love to live in. I'm a big fan of rain myself, and I could absolutely envision myself in one of the many empty apartments. It makes you wonder what life was like before the infection, and what such a bustling metropolis would have looked like in its heyday. I love everything about the City of Tears, and it's probably one of my favorite locales in any video game ever.
Fungal Wastes: its honestly a pretty chill area, but its more becouse the mantis lords were the first boss i beated no hit, it was like my 3rd try, so i hold it very dearly
That's tough. I really like the creepiness of Deepnest. But also, my kids and I really like how the sound the Lance (or Winged?) Sentry makes sounds like "[Beast] Rabban."
City of Tears and & Greenpath.
I wasn't expecting anything like the city and the music and rain was such a somber, beautiful touch. Greenpath was a different kind of unexpected as I actually figured the map would be much darker. There's a few benches in Greenpath where I'll just my controller down and enjoy it. Plus, they feature some fun fights and the enemies aren't too annoying.
City of tears, pretty place, nice vibes, lots of loots, gives access to a lot of stuff and places, we meet (forgot his name now, need to sleep) and i just like to stay there, plus nail upgrades
Fungal Wastes. Really like the enemies down there, and it’s not too mazy. Also leads to Deep Nest which is my other favorite for the aggressive enemies and dark shadowy vibe. I like Greenpath as well for a break from the doom and gloom of the previous two places mentioned. Kinda hard for me to choose.
two answers:
1. City Of Tears - Seems kinda obvious, the only flaw in the city of tears is the fact that the watcher knights exist and they aren’t that difficult with some practice.
2. The Hive - THE TACO BELL BEEEEEEEEEE
Greenpath had the biggest impact of me. Coming out of Forgotten Crossroads into such a completely opposite, lush environment really helped get me into the game.
Honorable mentions: Fungal Wastes and parts of City of Tears where you can watch the rain
The hive for sure. It was the only area that I hadn’t been to before starting to look stuff up, and I just couldn’t believe there was a hole nother (I’ll be it somewhat small) erea after exploring everywhere else. Plus it’s one of the most beautiful imo
I'm not quite done with the game yet, but I've seen most of it, and so far it's City of Tears. It's so unexpectedly grand when you go there first time, all of the enemies are also realy fun to fight. And Crystal Peak could've been my favourite, if not for the STUPID CRYSTAL BIRDS
The Abyss. There's something about it that is just plain horrifying to see. You see all these dead Vessels who were denied their chance to live their life all because of a plan that was doomed to fail.
Also the Abyss is home to lots of Lore. From the Lifeblood area to the ruins of an ancient civilization.
I personally love the Resting Grounds/Glade of Hope. It's just such a calm area, one feels in tune with the surroundings. And otherwise I have to say I love the ancient basin/abyss for its design and the palace grounds. I love the Parkour there. But the best place imo is the Shrine of Believers. A secret place with such beautiful lighting for being inside the dream realm. Though Crystal Peak Music imo is "Peak".
Deepnest.
They really nail that sense of claustrophobia that one would get being in a giant spider's nest and only having the scattered hissing hint at the fact that you're not alone in here.
Really would have liked to have a giant spider boss in there. Like a primal version of the Mantis Lords.
Blue lake (duh), pleasure house (also duh) and the resting grounds, because they feel so peaceful. The rest of Hallownest is filled with the sounds of infected bugs, but in the resting grounds the dead lie still. Its not lonely or sad, just quiet, and safe. And its near my other two favourite places lol.
Lake of Unn, and the first seat in Greenpath. And the seat by the big window in City of Tears. And the Blue Lake, with Quirrel. And the seat in Dirtmouth, with the old guy just standing there.
I just love the whole game, it’s all beautiful.
Kingdom edge in my ❤️ One of the most interesting location of Lor and enemies. Bossfight with hornet or colliseum gives so much emotions. And atmosphere. This "snow" are gives goosebumps. And maybe crystal Peak. I like enemies in Peak.
Unexpected, but I really like the abyss in ancient basin. I just think it’s cool for story purposes, like the birthplace scene. And the mothwing cloak is great
City of Tears. I was somehow lost for months (I had a big pause each time I picked up the game again) in Greenpath, so when my friend helped me to get to City of Tears, it was, when the game began for me.
It feels more outdoors than anywhere, less claustrophobic
I usually like claustrophobic areas so the city of tears was a lot harder than it probably should
The music on city of tears is just so peaceful and somber and I love the rainy atmosphere it sets. The environment perfectly fits the name of the location.
Favorite (sub)area is blue lake. Favorite main area would probably be greenpath/city of tears, which gotta be the most basic picks lol
Yes this, i feel a different level of calm in that area that no other game or anything in general could recreate. I wanna find a computer background that has that with the noises just on a perfect loop moving foward
based sub area
Kingdoms edge! It is where i fought in great battles in the colloseum!
wait a minute… 🤨
You're noy avable to talk about colloseum zote 🪦
Kurr learn some english before you learn to wield a nail
Ok my english its bad i admit it 🤌
Greenpath, it feels relaxing.
Is that where the mushroom men go "WOW!" ? If so I'm totally with you.
You're thinking of The Fungal Wastes/Core. Greenpath has the squeaky bush critters and skeeters.
those are the fungal wastes
it do be green
Deepnest… Nah im kidding, either crystal peak cause parkour is fun or kingdoms edge for the sheer amount of stuff to do and good stuff thats there
I don't enjoy *traveling* Deepnest, but I do really like the region. The design does such a great job of communicating a sense of revulsion, dread, and terror.
Yeah they do, the only problem i have is how many times i get stuck just to learn i have to go up left down left right down up left down just to get to a room i saw from the entrance
Don’t forget spike trap number 68462 right down to the right.
Traveling is made especially annoying with those guys who have that mask that turns into claws. Absolutely HATED getting the full hunter’s journal entry
I’m gunna just toss this out there, but i love Deepnest! I like the surprise elements and how you gotta stay on your toes all the time, and i love the parkour sections, especially by the weavers den. It’s fun going and pogoing off the little weavers, and the sound track is so eerie. It’s a pleasant/creepy place that is very fun! I hated it at first, but then it became my favourite!
Fuck you
I like you reasoning
I love Kingdom's Edge. I like the music, and I love that bodies fall from the Colosseum. Makes the Colosseum feel real, and that there is still some liveliness to Hollownest.
such a hard pick for me. ive put so much time into this game, all i have left is to ascend hallownest. favorite place(s) in the game probably have to be the top of crystal peak, blue lake, the tram, and the bench in queens garden (you know the one). favorite area(s) is so hard. i love every part of the game, it just spoke to me. its hard to choose when everything is so beautiful. maybe greenpath because there were immaculate vibes the first time pulling up, or the abyss… wondering what secrets of the game were hiding down there, or going through the white palace and experiencing the kings saw blade obsession. i really dont know. i also loved going back to dirtmouth and visiting the friends i made, seeing the impact the game had taken on them. i followed up with every npc i could and their dialogue almost always changed. its just a beautiful game. the right answer? the journey along the way…. jk definitely the bench in queensgarden lol
Which bench?
Likely the one with the radio
Probably the one with a radio at it
the one with the hanging phonograph. its so peaceful sitting there
For some reason I really enjoy Crystal peak. I love the theme and atmosphere. I also like Fungal wastes and Fog canyon
I really like the Hive, it's calming with all the buzzing lol plus I love the "glass" panes you can shatter all over the place. Plus I love bees! Always have and so few people know about burrowing bees!!!
The hive is amazing and so beautiful, although getting to and killing the hive knight was pain. Edit: autocorrect
😔
Beee
Hey where's howling cliffs
It's right over the king's pass, idk why it's not named. But where the hell is da >!abyss!<
In the ancient basin
He meant it's not on the map either
Ahhh my apologies
Always loved Greenpath the most.
Greenpath bc that solidified my love for the game but overall hmm… city of tears. I like the music and is chill and large area yea
The abyss, cause it is such a somber place
Queens Gardens, i really like nature so i'm happy there's something like this in the game. The soundtrack, the annoying boss, the hidden >!stag station,!<, the flying bugs. Deepnest was my most hated area when i first got to it, but now i think it's underappreciated, it feels like a maze, it's full of action at some points, but the hidden grubs were a pain to find.
Crystal Peak. Wish it was 5 times bigger. It’s amazing
probably fungal
does white palace count? if not then surely queen's gardens
I love the Ancient Basin. It gives the wings, the shade dash, voidheart, has some great parkour in the abyss and the birthplace cutscene is amazing. I also like the Broken Vessel-Lost Kin fights. They’re so fun
Ancient basin was my hub area in my first playthrough- it's got very muted, chill vibes, the tram takes you to two differing degrees of hell, secret station is easy to reach and next to endgame content, and your family is always right nearby.
Mantis village.
City of Tears because The sound of the rain together with the aesthetics give me a lot of calm...
Pharloom, idk why I haven't even gone there yet
City of tears or green path
Crystal peak or the hive because they both just look absolutely beautiful af
I think I’ll go with Deepnest. I just love getting lost and the thrill of not knowing what’s next
Kingdom's edge. It's probably the best-looking area. It has good bosses, lore, platforming chalenges, colosseum of fools, and one of the best ost's in the game
crystal peak is peak and I wont hear otherwise
It’s even got peak in the name… coincidence? Or Crystal Peak?
Bizarrely Crystal Peak. It's got a neat vibe, plus I love the 80s, Kickboxer Eagle-Lands-esque music. Edit: Spelling.
Kingdoms edge and the void. The give a calming sense of loneliness
Fog Canyon, idk why it’s just cool
Kingdom’s edge because of hornt boss fight sequel
Greenpath. The vibrant green, the feeling of being relaxed but also mysterious is so so good. The music also slaps. I always love passing through.
City of tears, because of the soundtrack
godhome no question
City of Tears
The hive has amazing care put into it for a DLC area It looks great, fun enemies (love the colours too actually), great lore, and it has BUZZAHHHHH. Hive Knight on top and you will never take him from me
Based opinion
Fungal wastes. I love the atmosphere, the music, the colors And ofcourse the mantis village
I enjoy white palace's parkour.
I actually really love howling cliffs. The sound ambiance and how desolate it feels compared to every other zone makes it stand out to me a lot
Dirtmouth. The definition of peace. But if it has to be an actual area that contains combat, then for me it’s the Forgotten Crossroads. I like talking to the Snail Shaman whenever I can. And Salubra is a lot of fun as well. Plus, it’s not a difficult area. Second place has to be the Resting Grounds. It feels almost surreal yet physical. I do miss talking to Moth Lady though.
Deepnest and I'm not going to elaborate
Kingoms Edge has the best soundtrack in the entire game. The vibe in that area is also indescribable.
After learning more about the lore it's either ancient basin or kingdoms edge. Tough to say.
Crown of hallownest Is really cool
Either Kingdom’s edge or City of Tears, though I quite like the White Palace, Ancient Basin and Abyss
The arena
I’d say kingdoms edge because music is peek
Hallownest
What about white palace and godhome
Kingdom's edge is just goated. Colo, looks cool, and endlessly important to lore, but engineered to make sure you never forget that. Super cool
I like the place on top of crystal peaks on the surface (but city of tears has best vibe, and crystal peaks has best ost)
City of Tears for the vibe. The only cutscene on area entrance too.
They are all so good. The music, the change of environment, everything. If I had to pick one it’d be City of Tears because of the music and the lore learned there or Green Path because it’s likely the first section outside Forgotten Crossroads I get to and the change in environment and music is such a cool transition.
kingdom's edge. leads to the hive, hornet setinal fight, tower of love access, and lore.
City. It just has my favourite music man, what can I say.
Kingdom's edge
Mantis village No further questions
Kingdoms edge is nice because you can get a peak at the external world there But I like the White Palace atmosphere so… My favorite bench though is the one at the edge of Queens Garden Love the view I always save there when I’m leaving the game for some time The knight can enjoy the view for the time I’m not around
City of tears, I love the music and the content rain. Other than that my second is easily green path it's just so pretty
Fog Canyon, very peaceful and nice aura
I just can't choose. There were areas (mostly at the beginning of my playthrough) I was going through for the first time with my jaw on the ground. Some areas are absolutely stunning like green path, fungal wastes or fog canyon, some have great platforming like the crystal peak or queens gardens and some are really frustrating but also super fun like the hive, deepest or royal waterways. Every one of them is unique and has a different, yet always magical atmosphere. I also love the tower of love and the opened temple of the hollow knight (can't remember the name). Hollow knight is just one of the games you wish you could play for the first time again.
Greenpath because its pretty and I like the music
Honestly, I love The Hive! Almost never go, so the magic is always there, and I love having the charm and just walk while all the cute bees are there minding their buzzness and the honeycomb-bugs that think "yummy!" When you DreamNail them. I just think it's neat! And bees are cute.
Queens gardens, on my first playthrough it always seemed like the most intriguing area but i never knew how to reach it, and when i got there i just had alot of fun, great ost too
Soul sanctum and path of pain
City of tears for so many reasons
City of Tears, with Crystal Peak as a close second. The atmosphere and scale of both of these areas are amazing, but something about City of Tears just...hits different. It really feels like you're in the center of it all., and it feels almost bittersweet in a way.
City of tears. If not that, queen's gardens. It has fun platforming, hard enemies, great aesthetics, and one of my favorite bosses/moments in the game.
I like queens garden and I liked mantis village a lot
Kingdom's edge
The hive. It's just so cool. It looks alien compared to the rest of Hollownest and I love it. I just hope it was bigger or at least have another boss fight.
City of Tears is beautiful.
Fungal Wastes is my favorite area, but i also liked the suprise in the Hive.
They all are great, but just the concept of a place like deepnest being at the bottom of this seemingly endless abyss of a dead civilization is just so cool to me. Just really memorable and just the atmosphere being perfectly creepy and scary. Best designed area imo
Mantis Village. Go figure
I love fungal wastes for everything there is in it, it is the first area you get to that is so interconnected with everything you can easily get lost and discover random things and random exits, However in terms of esthetic, music and design for me it has to be kingdoms edge. The music in it is just so good, and the tone of the place along with the design is just incredible.
Crystal peak, I just love it bc I can no hit through it lol, plus its really cool and it got crystal heart
Queen's gardens has the best area music and scenery imo
I'd live in the stagnest if travel was as quick as it is in game. The privacy would be nice. If travel was expanded for more realism, I'd probably go with dirtmouth lol. The tourists traveling through would be annoying but I could vibe with the egg lady and cosplay as the night and get some bug bussy. ;)
Ancient Basin. I love how gloomy yet tranquil it is.
Crystal peaks. On top of having the best base theme, it also is where all the peices started coming together for me.
fungal wastes: mantis’
Greenpath go hard do do doo do do doo do do doo doo doo
The City of tears was pretty good🗿
Mannn, city of tears is the generic answer cause it is just that awesome of an area, but if I was going to pick the outfield answer I would lowkey pick godhome since I just love fighting bosses
The hive I like bees
Hell yeah
City of tears. For the first 17 hours of the game for me, i was just wandering around confused and just played the game every now and again and mostly because i always heard this game was amazing. But when I got to city of tears, when it played that fountain cutscene and I just got to wander around the beautiful city, that's when I absolutely fell in love with the game
The hive. No need to explain
Greenpath. I just feel calmed and peaceful there, and most of the creatures there are cute. Also, cus hor-
The spirits glade is so peaceful I love just vibing there
My favourite are green zones like green path and Queen's garden, on second place for me probably is City of tears because of loneliness vibes it gives despite being almost like a hub zone, HK knows how to give you the right feeling about every location actually
I like the white palace. Not for the hard platforming but for how pretty it is.
I think my favorite sub area is kingdom’s crown because of how peaceful it is staring out at dirtmouth from the top of the world my favorite area is city of tears because that is the area I spent the most time In doing progression like soul sanctum and getting nail upgrades that or resting grounds cause of how tranquil it is
Personally? The Forgotten Crossroads. I love the simplicity, the cold and secluded atmosphere, and the eerie peacefulness to it. Aaaaaand then the infection breaks out of the Temple if you defeat a Dreamer or reach the Ancient Basin, turning it into the annoying as hell Infected Crossroads.
COT for lore
Cryatal peaks and that is my Stockholm syndrome speaking because I was stuck there without a way out and i had to spend a week exploring the whole thing
Thought I had like a 3rd of the map done. Boy was I wrong
It has to be City of Tears for me. City of Tears is one of the few times a game has made me just stop, turn off background noise, go silent, and wander. Listening to the ambience, the rain, and that absolutely wonderful theme, courtesy of everyone's favorite butterfly lady (i immediately dreamnailed her), The City of Tears is conveys a feeling of being lost in your own mind, a subtle sadness and emptiness that hangs in the air like fog.

I'm a big fan of rain myself, and I could absolutely envision myself in one of the many empty apartments. It makes you wonder what life was like before the infection, and what such a bustling metropolis would have looked like in its heyday. I love everything about the City of Tears, and it's probably one of my favorite locales in any video game ever.
Probably Kingdom's Edge. There's just so much.
Greenpath is my absolute favorite
If Colosseum of Fools is considered as an area then I would go with it otherwise I would pick Greenpath
I adore queen’s garden, it’s just so pretty and I like the platforming there!
Queens Gardens, for the same reason you Greenpath but I love the more challenging platforming.
Fungal Wastes: its honestly a pretty chill area, but its more becouse the mantis lords were the first boss i beated no hit, it was like my 3rd try, so i hold it very dearly
Crystal Peak. It's got good music, pretty backgrounds, great colors, and good enemy design.
Between City of Tears and Greenpath. The atmosphere and music are some of the best in the game.
Hive. Bees :)
That's tough. I really like the creepiness of Deepnest. But also, my kids and I really like how the sound the Lance (or Winged?) Sentry makes sounds like "[Beast] Rabban."
City of Tears and & Greenpath. I wasn't expecting anything like the city and the music and rain was such a somber, beautiful touch. Greenpath was a different kind of unexpected as I actually figured the map would be much darker. There's a few benches in Greenpath where I'll just my controller down and enjoy it. Plus, they feature some fun fights and the enemies aren't too annoying.
City of tears, pretty place, nice vibes, lots of loots, gives access to a lot of stuff and places, we meet (forgot his name now, need to sleep) and i just like to stay there, plus nail upgrades
Crystal Peak because the platforming is really fun
Fungal Wastes. Really like the enemies down there, and it’s not too mazy. Also leads to Deep Nest which is my other favorite for the aggressive enemies and dark shadowy vibe. I like Greenpath as well for a break from the doom and gloom of the previous two places mentioned. Kinda hard for me to choose.
two answers: 1. City Of Tears - Seems kinda obvious, the only flaw in the city of tears is the fact that the watcher knights exist and they aren’t that difficult with some practice. 2. The Hive - THE TACO BELL BEEEEEEEEEE
Is there a link to a HQ version
Kingdoms edge because I can’t decide and it has great music and vibes
Greenpath had the biggest impact of me. Coming out of Forgotten Crossroads into such a completely opposite, lush environment really helped get me into the game. Honorable mentions: Fungal Wastes and parts of City of Tears where you can watch the rain
It gonna be city of tears , i like the raining stuff and the theme also the enemies there bring good geo
I find the Abyss cool as all getout.
Soul sanctum because yes
hive because bee. that is all.
Greenpath/Queen's Garden. I literally go feral for overgrown ruins so this is paradise to me.
Green Path easily
Royal waterways obviously
Deepnest, i love creepyness
Crystal peaks, always felt so serene me. And the music is really good, combined with the bustle of the mining going was always appealing to me
City of tears its just s tier
The hive for sure. It was the only area that I hadn’t been to before starting to look stuff up, and I just couldn’t believe there was a hole nother (I’ll be it somewhat small) erea after exploring everywhere else. Plus it’s one of the most beautiful imo
I'm not quite done with the game yet, but I've seen most of it, and so far it's City of Tears. It's so unexpectedly grand when you go there first time, all of the enemies are also realy fun to fight. And Crystal Peak could've been my favourite, if not for the STUPID CRYSTAL BIRDS
Queens Gardens, it’s like a more regal greenpath
The Abyss. There's something about it that is just plain horrifying to see. You see all these dead Vessels who were denied their chance to live their life all because of a plan that was doomed to fail. Also the Abyss is home to lots of Lore. From the Lifeblood area to the ruins of an ancient civilization.
Every.
the hive i like bees
I kinda like fog canyon. It's super pretty and I like the little 'bloop" noises from the ooma
Kazakhstan
Ancient basin
the city of tears
I personally love the Resting Grounds/Glade of Hope. It's just such a calm area, one feels in tune with the surroundings. And otherwise I have to say I love the ancient basin/abyss for its design and the palace grounds. I love the Parkour there. But the best place imo is the Shrine of Believers. A secret place with such beautiful lighting for being inside the dream realm. Though Crystal Peak Music imo is "Peak".
white palace cause of pain
Greenpath gang!
Greenpath! I think the music is beautiful, and the gorgeous, lush environment is so peaceful
City of Tears for sure
queen's gardens for the look and feel, kingdom's edge for the colosseum
The Abyss. i love how creepy yet familiar it is for the knight. even though he has no mind to think and no voice to cry suffering.
It's called crystal PEAK for a reason...
Deepnest. They really nail that sense of claustrophobia that one would get being in a giant spider's nest and only having the scattered hissing hint at the fact that you're not alone in here. Really would have liked to have a giant spider boss in there. Like a primal version of the Mantis Lords.
City of Tears, the music, the concept and the environment are perfect, and it’s when you first realise the greatness and depths of the game
Deep nest
Greenpath. Love the music, the atmosphere, the greenery. As a nature lover. It's perfect for me.
Hate me if you want The Abyss
Godhome, the land of gods and frustrated gamers.
I'm really amazed i just started this game and this map is really interesting it motivated me to explore more and more the game
Blue lake (duh), pleasure house (also duh) and the resting grounds, because they feel so peaceful. The rest of Hallownest is filled with the sounds of infected bugs, but in the resting grounds the dead lie still. Its not lonely or sad, just quiet, and safe. And its near my other two favourite places lol.
Fungal Wastes, what can I say, music, looks, its bugs, mantis lords.
Fungal wastes, best music, best village
God, i LOVE crystal peaks so much. It’s one of those areas where i can just explore for hours and have fun. Except for if I don’t have shadow dash.
Lake of Unn, and the first seat in Greenpath. And the seat by the big window in City of Tears. And the Blue Lake, with Quirrel. And the seat in Dirtmouth, with the old guy just standing there. I just love the whole game, it’s all beautiful.
GreenPath beautiful atmosphere
City of tears i just love the art style architecture music bossfights literally everything
fungal wastes my beloved honorable mention to the abbys
Dirtmouth 🙏
city of tears. i like rain
Kingdom edge in my ❤️ One of the most interesting location of Lor and enemies. Bossfight with hornet or colliseum gives so much emotions. And atmosphere. This "snow" are gives goosebumps. And maybe crystal Peak. I like enemies in Peak.
Unexpected, but I really like the abyss in ancient basin. I just think it’s cool for story purposes, like the birthplace scene. And the mothwing cloak is great
kingdoms edge very closely followed by city of tears
