Deep Focus is a Charm in Hollow Knight. It doubles the Masks healed when using Focus but increases Focus time by 65%.[Note 1]

Usefulness

With Deep Focus, it takes 65% longer to Focus, not including the startup time (0.25 seconds). Startup time is not affected by Deep Focus.

Its restrictive cost and slow Focus time make it hard to use in boss battles. It is better used in areas where there is lots of time to rest, such as while tackling difficult platforming challenges, where it shines in combination with Grubsong and Hiveblood.

How to Acquire

Found in Crystal Peak in a hidden cave made entirely of crystals.

Below the area where Cornifer can be found, look for a Husk Miner mining a wall. Break the wall to reveal the secret area. Requires Crystal Heart.

Charm Synergies


Spore Shroom
Increases the spore cloud radius by 35%.

Charm Combo Tips


Stalwart Shell
Useful to provide a window to Focus.

Quick Focus
Despite costing a prohibitive 7 Notches combined, Quick Focus partially cancels the Focus-speed penalty of Deep Focus, allowing the Knight to heal two Masks at almost the regular speed.[Note 1] Especially useful against swarms of enemies or enemies who deal two Masks of damage per hit.

Hiveblood
Combined with Hiveblood, it greatly helps tackling difficult platforming challenges, especially the White Palace.

Grubsong
Combined with Grubsong, it greatly helps tackling difficult platforming challenges, especially the White Palace.
