Hallownest consists of several large, inter-connected areas with unique themes. Wearing a Charm that requires more than the available number of notches is possible, but it results in being "overcharmed," causing the knight to receive double damage from all sources. Equipping a Charm takes up a certain number of limited slots, called notches. Some of their effects include: improved combat abilities or skills, more masks or their regeneration, better movement skills, easier collecting of currency or of Soul, and transformation. To further customise the knight, the player can equip various Charms, which can be found or purchased from NPCs. The player can also learn other combat abilities, known as nail arts, and the aforementioned spells.
They include an additional jump mid-air (Monarch Wings), adhering to walls and jumping off them (Mantis Claw), and a quick dash (Mothwing Cloak). During the course of the game, the player acquires items that provide new movement abilities.

The player can upgrade the knight's nail to deal more damage or find soul vessels to carry more Soul. These characters provide information about the game's plot or lore, offer aid, and sell items or services. Later in the game, the player acquires a "dream nail," a legendary blade that can "cut through the veil between dreams and waking." It enables the player to face more challenging versions of some bosses, and to break what is sealing the path to the final boss.ĭuring the game, the player encounters non-player characters (NPCs), with whom they can interact. Defeating some bosses grants the player new abilities. Many areas feature more challenging enemies (bosses) which the player may need to defeat in order to progress further. Initially the player can only use Soul to "Focus" (regenerate masks), but as the game progresses the player unlocks several offensive spells, which consume Soul. The game continues from a last visited bench-they are scattered throughout the game world and act as save points. The player needs to defeat the Shade to recover the lost currency and to carry normal amount of Soul. The player also loses all Geo and can hold a reduced amount of Soul. If all masks are lost, the knight dies and a Shade appears at that place. By striking enemies, the knight gains Soul, which is stored in the Soul Vessel. When the knight takes damage from an enemy or from the environment, a mask is reduced. "Mask shards" can be collected throughout the game to increase the player's maximum health. The knight starts with a limited number of masks, which represent hit points of the character.
Defeated enemies drop currency called Geo. The player can also learn spells, allowing for long-range attacks. Melee combat involves using the nail to strike enemies from a short distance. In most areas of the game the player encounters hostile bugs and other sorts of creatures. The knight wields a nail, which is a cone-shaped sword, used both in combat and environmental interaction. The player controls an insect-like, silent, and nameless knight while exploring the underground world. Hollow Knight is a 2D Metroidvania action-adventure game, which takes place in Hallownest, a fictional ancient kingdom.
