Salubra

"I can see you've started your own collection. Very nice! I'll show you some of my own, and you can take one home with you if you like!"

- Charm Lover Salubra

Salubra is a slug Merchant in Hollow Knight. She collects and sells Charms as well as Charm Notches.

Lore
Salubra's shop is located above the abandoned village at the bottom of the Forgotten Crossroads, near the Blue Lake. She is knowledgeable in the craft and use of Charms and eagerly shares them with others for Geo. She seems to be under the delusion that the village outside her house is still lively and is unaware of the Kingdom's demise. She is also very fond of the looks of the Knight.

In-game events
Accessing Salubra's shop requires defeating the Gruz Mother boss, and then at least acquiring the Mothwing Cloak or Mantis Claw, or Nail-bouncing on a Shade. Alternatively, she can be reached by crossing the Blue Lake in the Resting Grounds.

Salubra sells Charms and Notches but also shares tips on their use. After collecting all 40 Charms, she sells the Knight her Blessing for, which regenerates SOUL while resting at a Bench. Upon buying her Blessing, a cutscene plays where she leans in and kisses the Knight.

Location
Salubra's shop is located at the bottom of the Forgotten Crossroads. It can be accessed with the Mothwing Cloak or Mantis Claw, by Nail-bouncing on the Shade, or from the Blue Lake.

Trivia

 * In the Beneath and Beyond trailer, Salubra can be heard with a different, higher pitched voice.
 * When obtaining Salubra's Blessing, a distorted version of the normal sound for getting Items and Abilities is played, similar to obtaining the Void Heart.
 * In the release version of the game, Salubra's Blessing only required 36 charms. The Grimm Troupe increased the requirement to 40 as new Charms were added.
 * Having half of Kingsoul does not count as a Charm and does not count towards any of the purchases from Salubra.
 * When Divine has a Charm consumed, the number of Charms needed for purchases from Salubra is reduced by one.
