Even charms that seem useless will go towards meeting the requirement for unlocking further charm notches. Therefore, I recommend buying anything that you can when the opportunity arises. Imagine my dismay then when I lost over 2,000 Geo very early on in Hollow Knight! I felt I would never financially recover, but thankfully, progress through the game comes with faster Geo acquisition. Couple this with the fact that dying twice without recovering your resources from the first death results in losing all of your previous Geo, and money feels like the be-all and end-all. With maps, markers, charms and fast travel stations all demanding this resource, it can feel like your finances are stretched thin. Some rocks can be broken to spill Geo also, but early on these amounts are also not significant. The currency of the world, Geo, can seem limited initially, with slain enemies dropping small amounts. This charm can also be purchased from Iselda early on.ģ. When equipped, it shows The Knight’s location on the map, and without it getting lost is inevitable. Markers that you can place yourself are incredibly useful to refer back to when you gain a new traversal ability.įinally, the Wayward Compass charm is probably the single most important charm in the game. Without this, maps will remain bare and useless. The quill enables the map to fill in with new areas visited every time The Knight rests at a bench. Given how sparse Geo can seem early on, these seem like bad purchases, but buy these as soon as you can.

Whilst such abilities also exist in Hollow Knight, the amount of the world explorable without them is not insignificant.

So often in Metroidvanias it can feel that despite having no set path to follow, progress is dependent on acquiring certain skills. Thus, my first tip is to just get lost and have fun!
