Shrine Guardian Seth

Overview

Shrine Guardian Seth is an NPC and boss in Hollow Knight: Silksong teased by Matthew "Leth" Griffin in the Hollow Knight Discord after members were able to solve a series of two riddles.

He can be found in a secret area inside of the Grand Gate.

"The Voice... has chosen me."

An eternal protector, waiting amidst tangled roots at the base of the Citadel. He guards a secret long forgotten and will attack any who stray too close.

Imbued with stamina and strength beyond a normal bug, he strikes up close or from a distance with blinding speed. With unwavering devotion, this ancient guardian will fight until the very end, and beyond.

Many of the Citadel's caste have fallen to this deadly warrior. Those who encounter him should turn back, or else prepare for a vicious battle.

Development

The character was created by Seth Goldman, who was diagnosed with cancer and whose wish was to meet Team Cherry. He met the team and they offered him the chance to design a character, which became the Seth we know today. Goldman sadly passed away before seeing the final result, but his memory lives on in the game.
