Earlier this month, Reddit user Badger Kindly unveiled a fantastic cosplay in which the faceless protagonist of Hollow Knight is transformed into a mythical warrior in the vein of Dark Souls. The comical Knight is transformed into a terrifying warrior in this excellent costume, complete with a horned helmet and exoskeleton armor.

Hollow Knight’s primary weapon, the Nail, is brought to life and used by Badger Kindly. The insectoid fighter’s armored carapace looks old and worn, making the costume a good fit for the post-apocalyptic fantasy world of Dark Souls or a more realistic version of Hollow Knight.
