The latest changes to our Hollow Knight pages and tools.

  1. Hollow Knight map: journal enemy locations

    The Hollow Knight map has a new layer, off by default: 568 pins for 108 of the 170 Hunter's Journal entries. One pin is one enemy in one room, with the number of spawn points, the kills the entry needs and the journal text. That makes 1,119 pins on 28 layers.

  2. Hollow Knight map: sharper zoom, area names, 4 new layers

    The Hollow Knight map is sharper at deep zoom, the area names are now text on the map, and four layers are new: boss locations, Pale Ore, Rancid Eggs and shade gates. That makes 551 pins on 27 layers, each layer with its own page.

  3. Hollow Knight map: in-game map base and 12 new layers

    The Hollow Knight map now sits on the game's own pause-map art, and 12 new layers bring it to 524 pins on 23 layers: relics (Wanderer's Journals, Hallownest Seals, King's Idols, Arcane Eggs), charm notches, hot springs, lifeblood cocoons, vendors, NPCs, warrior's graves, dreamers and breakable walls, each with its own page. Each page says how many of these objects the files hold and how many are placed.

What the Hollow Knight map shows

The base is the game's own pause-map art (the sprites the game draws for the map and quill), placed as the game places it, with 1,119 pins on 28 layers: 35 benches, 50 grubs, 9 stag stations, 14 whispering roots, 198 geo rocks, 4 vendors, 30 NPCs, 3 hot springs, relics and more. Each pin shows its room and area, and you can mark pins as found and hide them.

The pins are objects read from the game files: 1,119 of the 1,389 objects of these kinds sit in rooms the pause map draws; the rest are in rooms it does not (Godhome, dream rooms, shops, boss arenas) or have no room position. Each layer page says how its pins are read and how many objects were not placed. Mask shards and vessel fragments are pickup stands read from the files, not a checklist of every shard.

Pins, charms, bosses, items and areas read from the files of Hollow Knight (version 1.5.78), drawn by PinDrop. These pages read the game files of build 1.5.78.11833 (2021). Steam now has 1.5.12620 (March 2026) with fixes and no new areas; PinDrop has not re-read that build. © Team Cherry. PinDrop is fan-made and not affiliated with Team Cherry.
