Category:Points of Interest (Hollow Knight)

Points of Interest (POIs) describe items and objects throughout Hallownest that can be collected or interacted with for different effects. The following list gives a short description of each type of POI and a map of where they can be found.

Item	Description	Map
Charms	Equippable items that enhance the Knight's strength or provide extra abilities.	Green Dots represent NPCs that reward the player with a charm, by purchase or quest.
Chests	Treasure chests that contain different amounts of Geo or sometimes even a Charm when struck with the Nail.
Geo Deposits	Breakable objects that drop 10-56 Geo when destroyed, the exact amount specific to each deposit.
Grubs	NPCs trapped in glass jars. After being freed, will return to the Grubfather, who will give rewards like Geo and various items.
Hot Springs	Pools of water that slowly restore SOUL when stood in.
Lifeblood Cocoons	Sacs of blue liquid that spawn Lifeseeds when struck.
Lore Tablets	Readable tablets that contain Lore information.
Vessel Fragments	Items that upgrade the Knight's max SOUL.
Mask Shards	Items that upgrade the Knight's max Health.
Pale Ore	An item used to upgrade the Knight's Nail when given to the Nailsmith.
Rancid Eggs	Items found in living and dead Bluggsacs. Can be given to Confessor Jiji to summon the Knight's Shade (if one exists) or traded to Steel Soul Jinn for Geo in Steel Soul Mode.
Relics	Items left behind by the former residents of Hallownest... or those much older than that. Can be sold to Relic Seeker Lemm for Geo.
Shade Gates	Gates made of Void found in various places throughout Hallownest. They can only be moved through using the Shade Cloak.
Soul Totems	Statues that restore varying amounts of SOUL when struck with the Nail.
Whispering Roots	A plant that releases balls of Essence when struck with the Dream Nail. Collecting all the essence in the room causes the plant to grow and reveal details about that area when hit again with the Dream Nail.
Warrior Graves	Graves, Shrines, and Corpses of bugs found in many locations. After the Dream Nail has been acquired, a Warrior Dream can be challenged at each grave for Essence.
