Lemm

"There's a forgotten history hidden in this kingdom's antiques, though few seem willing to look. Others come just to claw away at the cracks and ruins."

- Relic Seeker Lemm

Relic Seeker Lemm is a Merchant in Hollow Knight. He collects Relics and buys them for fair amounts of Geo.

Lore
Lemm moved into his shop in the City of Tears at some point after the place was already empty and everyone in the tower was dead. He explores his current location and covets antiques, gleaning any information on the land's history.

While Lemm happily discusses his discoveries and hypotheses, he guards his collection and is not willing to sell any of it. He does not seek company unless they bring him more material for his collection.

In-game events
Lemm can be found at his shop overlooking the Fountain Square. He eagerly offers Geo in exchange for rare antiques from about the Kingdom: Wanderer's Journals, Hallownest Seals, King's Idols and Arcane Eggs. Unlike Geo, Relics are not lost upon death, which makes them a method of securing large amounts of Geo. Upon delivery of a Relic, Lemm shares his collected knowledge of the kingdom's history: the Pale King and his Five Great Knights, the wanderers lost in the caverns, and even the ancient civilisation buried underneath.

After the Knight has defeated any one of the three Dreamers, Lemm closes his shop for a break. He can be found gazing at the Memorial to the Hollow Knight in the middle of the Fountain Square. Lemm ponders the meaning of the statue, as he never found the Hollow Knight mentioned anywhere else except for the fountain's plaque. After having listened to him, he returns to his shop.

Location
Relic Seeker Lemm is located west of the statue of the Hollow Knight in the City of Tears. His shop initially has to be accessed from above.
