So, since the sequel, Hollow Knight: Silksong , probably won’t be coming out this year, here are some games to play in the meantime. They all have a common theme to Hollow Knight whether they are Metroidvanias, indie games, have great art, or star bugs. Dark Souls is a somewhat obvious, bonus p
Mark of Pride/Longnail: Both charms lengthen the character’s nail, allowing the player to strike enemies from a longer distance. They can even stack their effects on top of each other, giving the Knight the farthest reach possi
If you are a talented pianist, you can also buy the sheet music for Hollow Knight Piano Collections . There is both a physical version, which costs $25, and a digital version, which costs $15. It should be noted that the sheet music does not come with the actual music. You will still need to purchase the album if you want to listen to
If you want a physical version of the album, there are a couple of options available on Bandcamp . For $19, you can get the CD version which comes in a “pristine-quality limited-edition 1 disc, 6-panel digipack.” If you’re a collector of vinyl, there is a Deluxe 2xLP Vinyl Edition that will set you back $39. It includes 180-gram black and clear color-in-color discs and a 24-page art booklet. Pre-purchasing any of these versions will also include the digital version with one of the tracks available
It is a bit difficult to locate, but there does exist an NPC quest where the Knight is charged with transporting a delicate flower from the Resting Grounds to the Queen’s Gardens without receiving any damage. Complete this difficult quest and not only will the player receive a rare achievement, but they will also receive a mask shard and the ability to present delicate flowers to certain NPCs throughout the g
This may have the least to do with Hollow Knight , but it’s somewhat relevant. The reason it made it on the list is because it has excellent animations for a sprite-based game. It’s a shooter in the vein of a 2D Borderlands mixed with Monster Hunt
This is a bit of a cheap tactic but it is still available. Did you know that so long as the player doesn’t sit on a bench most enemies don’t respawn ? If that sounds like something the player can exploit to make this quest easier, that is because it can. All it requires is the player to spend some extra time clearing their intended travel path. The end result with be a road mostly devoid of enemies. But even though the player has a mostly clear path, they should still be cautious of environmental hazards and enemies that may still be aro
Cuphead may not be a Metroidvania like the three above, but fans of Hollow Knight can appreciate it for the high difficulty and similar art style. That is to say, it is like playing an old cartoon mixed with a shooter akin to Contra . The music is also superb plus there is co-op as well. For those curious, it started off as an Xbox One exclusive but it’s now on Switch as w
Gameplay is as open as a Soulsborne title , with players able to pick up a variety of weapons and magical attacks. The game also implements many classic RPG elements, such as classes, backgrounds, and skill trees. For those players who don’t want to face the horrors alone, it’s possible to play with local co-op. For those who want to be a fresh terror for their friends, there’s a versus mode
Dreamshield: Comprising of a defensive shield that orbits the player, this charm can effectively give the player several additional chances to complete the quest if they misjudge an enemy attack. The shield will absorb the impact of incoming projectiles and can even damage enemies who enter its range. This makes it especially useful for defending the player against swarms of vengeflys and primal asp
With these combinations resulting in a variety of effects, it is recommended that players take the time to experiment with their charm loadout. See what works with their preferred playstyle, what only works for certain situations, or just try out different charm combos to see what happ
In a collaboration with Materia Collective and Team Cherry, Hollow Knight Piano Collections is an album with 15 tracks from the Hollow Knight endings|https://Hollowknightportal.com/ Knight Original Soundtrack . Originally composed by Christopher Larkin, this selection is arranged by David Peacock and performed by Augustine Mayuga entirely on piano. While they aren’t exact recreations of the songs, they are faithful reinterpretations that do sound quite lovely. That is if the one track I heard is indicative of the entire product. Here is the full trackl
So the player eventually completed the delicate flower quest. The grave now has delicate flowers growing around it and the player has acquired the “Solace” achievement. Now what? Well, it turns out the Godmaster DLC added content pertaining to the delicate flowers. If the player takes a delicate flower from the grave of the Traitor’s Child and navigates across the map without taking damage (again), the Knight can present the flower to several NPCs through Hallownest. This includes Elderbug, the White Lady, and Nailmaster Oro. This triggers a unique dialogue with the NPC in question. But it should be mentioned that players can also unlock a secret ending for the game if they present a delicate flower to the Godmas
