This guide provides a concise overview of key location unlocks in Hollow Knight, focusing on simplicity and ease of navigation for new players. It avoids in-depth descriptions and focuses solely on obtaining access to the areas.

Early Game Key Locations:

• Greenpath: Accessed directly after the tutorial area. Key to accessing the early game and connecting multiple areas.
• Fungus Grove: Unlocked by completing the Mantis Lords fight in Greenpath. Offers valuable resources and a unique atmosphere.
• Crystal Peak: Requires the "Dash" ability obtained in Greenpath and navigating treacherous icy environments.
• Deepnest: Access is initially gained by finding the hidden entrance in Greenpath after acquiring the Mantis Claw. Be warned, this area is notoriously difficult.

Mid Game Key Locations:

• Kingdom's Edge: Accessed from Dirtmouth after progressing through the early game areas and potentially obtaining the Monarch Wings. A crucial area to explore before heading deeper.
• Queens Gardens: Requires the ability to wall jump (obtained through Mantis Lords) and skillful navigation. Houses several challenging fights.
• Ancient Basin: Hidden behind a waterfall, the location is not explicitly obvious and requires some exploration.

Late Game Key Locations:

• City of Tears: Accessed after obtaining the necessary abilities and navigating various challenges in previous areas. A sprawling and visually striking location.
• Resting Grounds: A location with strong lore implications, accessible only after completing significant parts of the game.
• White Palace: Known for its extreme difficulty and highly demanding challenges; access is often a late-game objective.

Important Note:

This guide prioritizes simplicity and accessibility for new players. It is recommended to explore the game organically, and this guide serves as a supplementary reference point rather than a comprehensive walkthrough. Many hidden areas and secrets are not included.
