I’m currently marathoning your play through and loving it. Hope that it was a positive enough experience for you that a game like Ori and the Blind Forest can make it into a poll one day

Oof…ugly video to a beautiful game. (Mossbag’s, not yours, Mapo!)

So glad you figured out the rancid eggs without too many hints.
And if you ever decide to do a Steel Soul run... it can be fun. At least the basic "just beat the game" steel soul is fun. If you go for the achievement of 100% completion + steel soul... it's pain. About as much pain as the pantheon of hallownest; I had to follow a guide and it still took days of painful restarts.
ALSO if you want to make more hollow knight content, a "tier list" ranking of all the bosses could be neat. Everyone has their own opinions and experiences about the bosses, so it would be neat to hear which bosses were your favorite, considering when you fought them in the game and/or how well they aged after re-encountering them in Godhome.

I already commented about the video on YouTube but I thought I might come here and give you suggestions of some more obscure things you could do in Hollow Knight now that you have watched a lore video. I figure you can bundle up a bunch of these small things into a video instead of just the pantheon attempts, incoming wall of text.
1: Use Descending Dark in front of The Mask Maker
2: The flowers around the mantis grave are indeed infinite and like the video said you can give one to the Godseeker but you can also give one to Elder Bug and Nailmaster Oro
3: Hidden room near Dung Defender, need to Down Smash but the floor itself doesn't have the trademark shake of a breakable floor but you can see cracks in it if you look closely.
4:You can go back to Dirtmouth and fight Zote many times but Bretta has different dream nail thoughts after the 3rd fight and something happens after the fourth
5:THE ONEPIECE.... I mean MENDERBUG IS REAL! If you break the sign at the bottom of the well, there is a 2% chance for him to be there fixing the sign. He runs away very fast so the best way to kill him is to Descending Dark into the well over and over till you get him to spawn. Killing him will unlock his house where you can read his journal, the house is located close to where you originally found Sly near Salubra.
6: Complete and bring back the hunters journal to the Hunter
7: When you Dream Nail the Godseeker there is a 2% chance you will be transported to a memory of hers instead of going straight to Godhome. This can only happen once.
8: There is a locked door in Godhome with a blue glow and a bunch of empty slots. If you complete a pantheon with bindings each one you use will fill in one of the slots, you don't have to do multiple bindings at once but a specific binding only ever counts once. Once you have 8 slots you can enter the room and dreamnail something that adds lifeblood masks to you whenever you sit at a bench in the pantheons starting at 3 then 4 then 5 masks on rest.
9: There is a hidden challenge in Godhome called "The Eternal Ordeal" where you fight increasing numbers of zotelings, while it doesn't end the challenge, at 57 kills (57 precepts) you unlock a new menu style. Its hard to explain how to get there so I will just copy paste some instructions.
"To access it, the Knight must first navigate to the far east of the second level of the Hall of Gods and break the ceiling above the third arch from the right. (Howling Wraiths/Abyss Shriek is useful for finding and breaking the barrier, but Nail attacks can also be used to break it.)
Then, reach the hidden ledge above the arch by Super Dashing off the right wall (The Sharp Shadow Charm also works since it extends the range of Shadow Dashing) and then double-jump to grab the wall."
10: You chose to kill the Nailsmith once he made the perfect nail but you didn't have to. Search Nailsmith lives on YouTube and the first video that pops up should be a 1.6mil view video called "Hollow Knight- Don't Kill the Nailsmith!"
11: The Midwife (scary monster attached to a wall in some tunnels you enter by falling to the bottom of distant village) has more dialogue you can read now that you have the Kingsbrand. She also has 2 more dialogue choices if you wear the Weaversong charm, one through talking and another Dreamnail thought.
12: There is an NPC in the game named Cloth, I know you met her at least once but it was near the start of the playthrough and you may have forgotten. She has a much more involved story that you missed and actually can help you with a certain fight but you missed it sadly. I wasn't able to find a good summary video for her but you can look her up yourself. I don't make videos but I was thinking of making a "here are the places she is at and when with all dialogue and dreamnail options video"
13: You found Mister Mushroom in Fungal Wastes but that is only the first of 7 areas that must be done in a specific order. You need the spore shroom to talk to him but not to dreamnail him. He appears in this order Fungal Wastes, Kingdoms Edge, Deepnest, Howling Cliffs, Ancient Basin, Fog Canyon, Kings pass. If you can't find him there are easy to find maps online. Exhaust his dialogue at each area for him to move on to the next. Once that's done you can beat the Hollow Knight and you will get an additional animation at the ending and an achievement.
14: If you play on your PC alternate timeline once you have Divine make all your fragile charms unbreakable go down to meet Legeater, talk to him then head back up to Divine for a neat surprise.
15: Look up Hollow Knight charm combinations on YouTube to see all the cool combinations that can happen, there are quite a few.
I had a couple more pop up into my head but I am a little drunk and its 5:30 am so forgive me I have forgotten them for the time being. Anyways I know you want more Hollow Knight Content and I hope this list helps out a bit.
EDIT: 16: Just remembered if you have a new playthrough or just want all achievements you can find Zote being attacked by the vengefly and just not help him. If you get the Mantis Claws ability (wall jump) and go back interact with what is there by hitting it with your nail you will get the achievement "Neglect"
