Loading interactive map…
The map shows 10 Grimmkin flames, one pin each, with the room and area. The game keeps one flame pin per room and draws it on the pause map for a bearer of the Grimmchild charm's ritual.
Grimmkin flames by area: Kingdoms Edge (2), City of Tears (1), Crystal Peak (1), Deepnest (1), Fungal Wastes (1).
The game text says the bearer must seek the Grimmkin and collect their flames, and that uncollected flames appear on the map.
How the pins are read: the Flame Pins entries of the pause map (sprite Grimm_flame_pin), one per room. The files hold 10 of them and 10 are placed on the map.
Source: the game files of Hollow Knight, version 1.5.78 (Grimmkin Flame: 10 pins). 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.
