Endings (Hollow Knight)

The Hollow Knight
Upon defeat, the Hollow Knight dies and the player absorbs the infection into itself. The player is then sealed inside the Black Egg and the game ends.

Requirements:
 * Not having acquired Void Heart

Sealed Siblings
Near the end of the fight Hornet will swoop in and fracture the Hollow Knight's mask with her needle before restraining it and giving the player an opening.

Once the player strikes The Hollow Knight enough while it is restrained, it breaks free and the fight continues. This causes an alternative ending where, in addition to the events of the first ending, Hornet is also sealed inside, her mask appearing on the door (similar to how the Dreamers' were before).

Requirements:
 * Having acquired Void Heart

Dream no More
While Hornet has the Hollow Knight pinned down, if the player uses the Awakened Dream Nail on them, they will be transported inside Hollow Knight's mind and fight The Radiance. At the end of this fight, the Hollow Knight returns at the end as a shade that rips open the Radiance's face, allowing the player to destroy it.

After the player has defeated The Radiance, the Infection is defeated and the Black Egg remains open. Hornet wakes up to find the player's mask broken in half at the centre of a crater in the room, implying the player has died in the fight.

Requirements:
 * Having acquired Void Heart
 * Awakening the Dream Nail (1800 Essence)
