The Colosseum of Fools hosts some of the trickiest battles in the entire game , but it also contains a secret Simple Key. From the bench in this area, head right, then up into the main arena area that is blocked off by the cage wall on the l

This area is home to the Distant Village and the Failed Tramway, which are draped in cobwebs. By using the Dream Nail on a corpse near the tramway, you learn that it apparently couldn’t be built because the workers were continuously attacked while building it. Not exactly a place you want to stay around for long. Herrah the Beast can be found in this area too, slumbering in the region she once ru
The Shopkeeper’s Key can be found in a room in the Crystal Peaks just above where the highest bench is located. If you present the Shopkeeper’s Key to Sly in Dirtmouth it will unlock more items for you to purchase from him — including yet another
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
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
Sundered is very similar in design to Dead Cells , but it has the art aesthetic of Hollow Knight . To be clear, it’s a roguelike with Metroidvania elements, but it is one big open maze that can be tackled in a number of ways. It also has a pretty robust skill tree which is necessary because this game is going to kick the player in the behind. That is to say, expect some heavy grind
Dead Cells is a roguelike primarily with Metroidvania elements. Players will explore randomly generated dungeons which usually have multiple exists. These can be accessed by gaining new abilities as one goes on. All levels lead to the same finale, but this simple change in the normal die and repeat gameplay at least gives it some extra flexibility. It also teeters on the difficult, grind-heavy side of thi
From the entrance to the Royal Waterways , head left and down to where the bench is located, then keep heading down and to the right to the bottom. From here, head back to the left from the bottom level , then back up to the top left of the map to reach a new a
While venturing through Hallownest in search of the next challenge, it might seem like it goes on forever. No matter how deep you dive into this game, it never seems like you reach the very edge of the map, with more platforming, monstrous creatures, and land to discover all the t
**Updated on April 22, 2023, by Casey Foot: ** Charming (pun intended) yet difficult, Hollow Knight is as popular as ever.

If you’re looking to make the most of notches, then Thorns of Agony will probably not be in your top picks, but if you’re going for pure vindictive pleasure, it’s the number one option. Thorns of Agony is a reactionary Charm that, when you take damage, causes massive black thorns to erupt from the Knight’s b
This is where the Rancid Eggs come in, as she won’t do this for The Knight for money. In Steel Soul Mode, Jiji will be replaced with the Steel Soul Jinn , who pays out good amounts of Geo in exchange for a Rancid E
This area is important as somewhat of a central terminal but is also home to a shopkeeper, bosses, and its own challenges. After certain points in the game, the Forgotten Crossroads will become the Infected Crossroads, fill with the Infection, and become much more danger
