True Hunter

Achieving the True Hunter Trophy

The 'True Hunter' trophy in Hollow Knight is a testament to your dedication and thoroughness in documenting the game's diverse fauna. This achievement requires you to fill out every entry in the Hunter's Journal, meaning you must encounter and defeat a specified number of each enemy type. This guide will outline the requirements and offer strategies for efficiently completing your bestiary.

To unlock the 'True Hunter' trophy, you must achieve 100% completion of the Hunter's Journal. This involves defeating enough of each unique enemy to fill their respective entry. Some enemies require only a few kills, while others, particularly common ones, may need a dozen or more encounters. Bosses and mini-bosses typically only require a single defeat to have their entry completed.

The Hunter's Journal provides a running tally of how many of each creature you've defeated and how many more are needed. Pay close attention to this counter as you explore. Certain enemies are zone-specific, meaning you'll need to visit various regions of Hallownest to find them all. Prioritize areas with a high density of unique enemies or those you haven't explored extensively.

Strategies for Completing the Hunter's Journal:

• Focus on Common Enemies: Regularly revisit areas with frequently spawning enemies like Crawlids, Vengeflies, and Gruzzers.
• Explore Thoroughly: Venture into every nook and cranny of Hallownest. Many enemies are found in less-traveled or hidden areas.
• Utilize the Journal: Constantly check your Hunter's Journal to see which entries are incomplete and how many more kills are required.
• Bosses and Mini-Bosses: Ensure you defeat every unique boss and mini-boss. Their entries are usually completed with a single kill.
• Charm Synergy: Consider charms that increase Geo or Soul gain, as this can indirectly support your farming efforts for other resources needed during your hunt.

Some of the more elusive enemies might require specific conditions or progression through the game. For instance, certain enemies only appear after acquiring specific abilities or reaching later stages of the game. Patience and persistent exploration are key to filling every page of the Hunter's Journal and earning the 'True Hunter' title.
