Hollow Knight is a 2D action-adventure game in the Metroidvania genre, a style derived from the Castlevania and Metroid series. Metroidvania games are characterized by interconnected worlds featuring locked doors and passages that players can see but only access after meeting specific requirements, such as acquiring a key or a new ability.

The game does not guide the player directly; instead, you are placed in the world and must explore, discover, and progress on your own. This guide aims to assist you in navigating the maps, locating optional items, and advancing the story.
