Puddle

Puddle is a film in the Hollow Knight Cinematic Universe that tells the story of Puddle: a young civilian in the world of Hallownest.

Plot
The story starts in the City of Tears, where a young Puddle is fighting against a horde of Infected sentries. The second round of Infection had been released from the Temple of the Black Egg, which could only mean one thing: the Pale King’s plan had failed. Puddle was only a young girl when the first round of Infection had struck. It had taken her father from her. Thirsty for revenge, Puddle was miraculously able to resist the call of the Radiance and remain untouched by the Infection.

These resisters were known as the Survivors, and Puddle had planned to meet with a group of them outside the City of Tears. Unfortunately, she was caught by the sentries and was in the middle of a battle. She is saved by a group of Survivors also heading towards the City, lead by a warrior known as Piranha.

At the meeting, Piranha discusses plans to cover the areas hit hardest by the Infection and search for more Survivors. They divide into four groups to search largely Infected areas: an Aspid nest in the Forgotten Crossroads, a secret area near the bottom of Deepnest, and most areas of the Ancient Basin.

Puddle is paired with a nameless vessel, whom she later befriends, as well as Piranha herself.
