User:MrWarnerTheGreat/Hollow Knight - False Knight destroys a bridge recalculation

From The Codex

Introduction

Calculating False Knight destroying the floor in that temple-place because I'm not a fan of using real life bug heights for obviously non-realistic bugs. I also did a bit of extra work and added some additional stuff to the bridge destruction.

The Calculation

So before we start anything, we need a reference for our measurements. In the first False Knight calculation, the user used a real life nail as the reference. Issue though, none of the nails in-game resemble our modern nails whatsoever.

Luckily though, there is this calculation sent to me by Blaze. Now why do I prefer this? Simple, it takes official statements with viable measurements to scale the characters. This means our Knight is 34.29 centimeters (Rather tall, but it makes sense when you analyze some of the key locations in the game.



Our Knight is 121.41px

The the hole made by false knight is 810x259px in perimeter. This makes the area of it 209790px, or 59251.2898424cm³.

The Yellow triangle's area is 9232.77px, or 2607.62444024cm³. Adding the two together gets us an area of 61858.9142826cm³.


Using our previously established Knight height, we can find the width of the False Knight, who is 349px wide, to be 98.5685693073 centimeters.

Now because False Knight can turn his body without getting caught between the walls, we're going to assume the floor destroyed is two times wider than False Knight, which is a massive low-ball mind you.

Using this number gets our volume to be 12194689.3595cm³. Now because the feat in question left several chunks of debris falling down with False Knight, we'll reduce the total volume by 70%, thus the final value would be 3658406.80785cm³.

We'll assume igneous rock, since not only is the building made out of dark stone, but Hallownest in general is formed in a wasteland of a place.

Thus our equation is 3658406.80785*1.2 = 4390088.16942 joules, or 0.001049256254641491 tons of TNT. That's a good ways into Wall level (9-B).

Conclusion

False Knight destroys a bridge/hole in the floor - 0.001049256254641491 tons of TNT, 9-B.
