Magic arts are very different, though need a bit more nuance to get to, but are well worth it for the damage they do. The sword arts can be found from two nailmasters and one paintmaster across the Hollow Knight world. Skills in Hollow Knight cover both melee and magic skills since they are not associated with a physical item. Most pieces of equipment should be obtained during a regular run of the game. However, the lantern is not (technically) needed. One unmentioned piece of equipment that could be useful is the Lumafly Lantern for traversing sections of Crystal Peak and Deepnest.

Obtaining all equipment before attempting this guide is recommended though not strictly necessary. Įquipment is a section of Hollow Knight items which permanently augment your gameplay. Lots of the charms are in unique locations, so it could be worthwhile to watch a walkthrough or use the wiki since the locations can be unspecific or not details.Obtaining all charms and talking to Salbura will give you Salubra’s blessing, which passively give you soul when you sit at a bench.All in all, charms are a massive facet of Hollow Knight, but obtaining most of them is a fairly simple task, making them an easy way to obtain completion percentage. Many of the easier charms to obtain are through vendors in Hollow Knight like Sly, Salubra, or Leg Eater. Charms help modify gameplay to make the Knight stronger, but much of the time cost a helping of geo or take a substantial detour to get to.
