This charm works on The Santa Clause rules: You want to be the mother, you have to kill the mother.

Very situational, or else it would be higher.

Combine with Defender’s Crest to make it one giant fluke that explodes.

Can kill a Great Husk Sentry in three hits.

Can do a hefty 36 damage replacing Vengeful Spirit.

Turning your Vengeful Spirit blast into a horde of explosive fluke babies, this charm more than doubles vengeful spirit’s attack power if all the flukes hit, making it ideal for large and/or stationary foes. This isn’t the only charm to make our knight a (highly questionable) parent, but it is the most useful. You can upgrade it to its unbreakable form by giving Divine (a member of the Grimm Troupe) 9,000 geo. If you have the defender’s crest (which makes you reek like a dung beetle), Leg Eater will lower the price to 200 because he likes the smell. It can be bought from Leg Eater in the Fungal Wastes for 250 geo.

Combine with gathering swarm to see the money roll in.

Helps get enough geo for the other unbreakable charms.

Helps unlock things faster in early game.

It does cost a small fortune which is rather appropriate, if you think about it. If you’re worried about it breaking on you, the Grimm Troupe expansion allows you to upgrade to its unbreakable version. As almost every charm and some items needed for progression cost a good chunk of geo, using this charm in the early game can help you unlock things much more quickly. Greed is good… Well, at least in this case. After you meet him in the Forgotten Crossroads, head back up to Dirtmouth and buy this charm from Iselda in the map shop for 220 geo. You can technically get the Wayward Compass as soon as you meet Cornifer, if you have the geo.

Has been dubbed the T-Pose of Hollow Knight.

Helps you know where to put your pin in an uncharted area.

To quote the ingame description, the Wayward Compass “whispers its location to the bearer whenever a map is open.” In game play, this translates into showing your location on the map (which is so helpful, we’re not going to question how an inanimate object “whispers.”) So to help you on your dangerous cave diving, here’s a list of the 10 Best Charms in Hollow Knight. Therefore, your charm build will depend on your play style, but there are definitely some charms that are more useful than others. These magic badges offer various powers, buffs, and occasionally nerfs to customize the game for each player. As such, anything to give you an advantage in this bug eat bug world is welcomed. And while you may cross the occasional friendly NPC in the depths, you spend most of your time killing anything near you or getting killed by it. Hollow Knight is a labyrinthian maze of a game where everything is trying to kill you.
