Hollow Knight 112% Checklist: Every Item That Counts
The game adds up its completion percentage from 112 points, and I read every term from the game's own code. Charms are the biggest block at 40, then 15 for the fifteen bosses and 14 for the seven abilities at two points each. Grubs, relics and the Hunter's Journal are not in the formula.

- Charms40one point each
- Bosses15fifteen kills
- Abilities14seven at two points
Most 112% lists are built from memory. This one is built from the game's own completion function, which I read from the program files without running the game: every flag it checks and the points each adds. The lists are grouped by what you do, and each line shows its points.

How the 112% adds up
The function starts at zero and adds points term by term. The achievement list names the two targets: "Achieve 100% game completion and finish the game" and "Achieve 112% game completion and finish the game." The groups below sum to 112.
| Group | Points |
|---|---|
| Charms | 40 |
| Bosses | 15 |
| Colosseum of Fools | 3 |
| Warrior's Dreams | 7 |
| Spells | 6 |
| Nail Arts | 3 |
| Abilities | 14 |
| Dreamers | 3 |
| Dream Nail | 3 |
| Nail | 4 |
| Health and soul | 7 |
| Grimm Troupe | 2 |
| Godhome | 5 |
| Total | 112 |
Charms, masks and soul
Charms are the easy bulk: one point each, 40 in all. The mask and soul lines count the upgrades you have, not the shards: 4 masks above the starting five, and 3 Soul Vessels. See the mask shard guide. Worth 47 points together.
Collect all charms+40
One point per charm. The formula counts 39 charm flags plus the Kingsoul/Void Heart state, which is 40 in all.Open
Bosses, trials and dream warriors
Fifteen boss kills, the three Colosseum trials, the seven Warrior's Dreams and the Grimm Troupe pair. Worth 27 points together.
Trial of the Warrior+1
Entry costs 100 Geo.Trial of the Conqueror+1
Entry costs 450 Geo.Trial of the Fool+1
Entry costs 800 Geo.Defeat Troupe Leader Grimm+1
One point.Defeat the Nightmare King or destroy the Nightmare Lantern+1
One point for either; the formula takes whichever is true.
Abilities, spells and nail arts
The seven movement and key abilities are worth two points each, the most of any single item. Worth 23 points together.
Upgrade all three spells+6
Each of the three spell levels (fireball, quake, scream) adds its level, 0 to 2, so six points when all are upgraded.Learn the three nail arts+3
Cyclone Slash, Dash Slash and Great Slash, one point each.
Dreamers and the Dream Nail
The three Dreamers and the Dream Nail line: the Nail, its awakening and the Seer's last words. Worth 6 points together.
Herrah the Beast+1
One point. The formula flag and our map pin say Hegemol; the achievement text calls this Dreamer Herrah the Beast.OpenAwaken the Dream Nail+1
The game's achievement for it asks for 1,800 Essence.Hear the Seer's final words+1
The flag is called mothDeparted; I match it to the achievement that asks for 2,400 Essence and the Seer's last words.
Nail and Godhome
Four nail upgrades (see the nail upgrades guide), the Godtuner and four pantheons. Worth 9 points together.
Get the Godtuner+1
The item is called Godtuner in the game's text; the flag is hasGodfinder.Pantheon of the Master+1
One point when its door is completed. The fifth pantheon is not in the formula.Pantheon of the Artist+1
One point when its door is completed. The fifth pantheon is not in the formula.Pantheon of the Sage+1
One point when its door is completed. The fifth pantheon is not in the formula.Pantheon of the Knight+1
One point when its door is completed. The fifth pantheon is not in the formula.
What does not count
Because I read the whole function, I can say what is absent: grubs, Wanderer's Journals, Hallownest Seals, King's Idols, Arcane Eggs, the Hunter's Journal, Essence beyond the Dream Nail steps, charm notches, Geo, stag stations and the map. Several have their own achievements (for example "Rescue half of the imprisoned grubs" and "Rescue all of the imprisoned grubs"), but none moves the percentage.
Common mistakes
- Chasing grubs for the percentage. They have an achievement, not a point.
- Skipping the Seer. Her last words are one point, easy to forget after the Dream Nail awakening.
- Doing the fifth pantheon for the number. Only the first four count.
About these numbers
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.
The formula is the one in build 1.5.78.11833. If a later patch changed the points, the total would differ.
