I've gotten all Mask Shards, all Vessel Fragments, all Charms, all Small Keys, and what not, where I was at a loss about what I was still missing. But when I got to the end of the game, where I was trying to get everything done outside of Godhome, I was stuck at 106 of 108%. At least you don't have to go all the way down for this one.Īfterwards, I've still went several times down there just to check that I haven't missed anything, but I couldn't figure anything else out. I can't even say how many times I've climbed out of the Abyss, because I kept missing things and kept looking for things that I might have missed down there.įor starters, it took me quite some time to realize that the locked door halfway down doesn't require you a special key or stone, where instead it's a Lifeblood puzzle, which leads to the Lifeblood Core. But I ended up going down there more than once and it's a long way back up, unless you're smart enough to use the Dreamgate to portal yourself out of there once you're done. And the Metroid reference at the end made it all the better.ĭuring the endgame you will go down there a second time and enter even deeper and darker territories, just when you thought you've seen it all. It's not meant to be, since you're essentially returning to your place of birth. I will never forget the first time I went down there, not knowing what awaited me, all shrouded in black fogs and droning noises. The enemies down there are very basic, with the Shadow Creepers and Shades, but the atmosphere is so oppressing that it can leave a mark on you. That is until you open the door into the Abyss, where you descend into the darkest depths of Hallownest. Hollow Knight is all about diving deeper into the world of Hallownest and once you've reached the Ancient Basement you already feel like you've reached the bottom. I'm just talking about a part of my personal journey through the game here, which is all about an area that I found very atmospheric, but also slightly annoying: the Abyss. This post will contain heavy late game spoilers, so it's best to ignore this if you haven't played Hollow Knight yet.
