VGKami’s Hollow Knight Wiki Guide provides a complete walkthrough of the game. We’ll tackle the game’s levels in progressive order. We’ll also go over the various side quests you can do in Hollow Knight.
Getting Started With Hollow Knight
Hollow Knight is not a very easy game. It provides challenge and requires precision and patience to complete. However, as long as you know everything there is to know about the game before getting started, from the most basic mechanics to the most obscure tips, your experience playing this game moving forward will go much more steady.
Hollow Knight Walkthrough
Here, we’ll go over the game from start to finish, from the very first level to the very last boss. Hollow Knight is a “Metroidvania” game, which means its levels are very interconnected and the game gives you the avenue to venture through the different levels and explore the game as freely as you can while still arriving at the same ending. In this walkthrough, I’ve laid out the levels in an order which I believe to be the most efficient and accessible in terms of progression. Each level in Hollow Knight has one or two bosses. We’ll also be tackling how you can effectively defeat these bosses.
