King's Brand

The King's Brand is an Item in Hollow Knight. It marks anyone who bears it as the King of Hallownest.

Use
Allows access to the door at the bottom of the Ancient Basin leading to the Abyss, which is required to unlock four endings. Also adds new dialogue for Bardoon, Eternal Emilitia, Mask Maker, Steel Soul Jinn, Midwife, and the White Lady.

How to Acquire
The King's Brand is located in the Cast-Off Shell in Kingdom's Edge, guarded by Hornet. After Hornet is defeated, the King's Brand can be acquired at the very end of the Cast-Off Shell.

Normally requires Monarch Wings to access, but can be accessed early by Nail-bouncing on a Primal Aspid.

Trivia

 * After the Knight is marked with the King's Brand, the Cast-Off Shell starts falling apart. Hornet saves the Knight from being buried under the shell's pieces.
