Hollow Knight, how to get all the endings of both the base game and its DLC

Hollow Knight has earned a reputation as a remarkable adventure game, and players looking to delve into its rich narrative must explore the various endings available. The developers at Team Cherry have designed multiple conclusions that reflect the choices made during gameplay. Below, we will discuss how to achieve all the endings in both the main game and its expansion, Gods & Glory.

All Endings in Hollow Knight

The Hollow Knight Ending

Requirements:

• Do not acquire the Void Heart.
• Defeat the Hollow Knight in the final showdown.

This ending is the easiest to achieve. To unlock it, you must avoid obtaining the Void Heart and simply confront the Hollow Knight, the game’s last boss. Defeating him will lead to this conclusion.

The Sealed Siblings Ending

Requirements:

• Obtain the Void Heart.
• Defeat the Hollow Knight in the final showdown.

If you have the Void Heart, Hornet will assist you in the battle against the Hollow Knight. She will attack him, breaking his mask and rendering him vulnerable. You should then use your Dream Nail to finish him off. If you strike him without the Dream Nail, he will recover, and you will continue fighting him until you finally defeat him, resulting in this second bad ending.

The Dream No More Ending

Requirements:

• Obtain the Void Heart.
• Defeat The Radiance, the new final boss introduced in the game.

After Hornet distracts the Hollow Knight, you can strike him with the Dream Nail, allowing you to enter his mind and confront The Radiance. Defeating her will unlock the good ending of the main game.

Accepting the Void Ending

Requirements:

• Complete all the Pantheons.
• Defeat Absolute Radiance, the final boss from the Gods & Glory DLC.

Once you finish the initial four Pantheons, you will gain access to the Pantheon of Hallownest, where you can face Absolute Radiance. Defeating her will lead you to this new ending.

The Delicate Flower Ending

Requirements:

• Complete all the Pantheons.
• Defeat Absolute Radiance, the final boss from the Gods & Glory DLC.
• Deliver the Delicate Flower to the Seeker of Truth.

If you successfully give the Delicate Flower to the Seeker of Truth after defeating Absolute Radiance, you will unlock the game’s ultimate ending.

Secret Ending in Hollow Knight

During your adventure, you will come across an NPC named Mr. Mushroom. To unlock the achievement titled “Era Change,” you must locate him in seven different spots. Once you’ve accomplished this, completing the game with any ending will reveal a secret extra scene, adding another dimension to your Hollow Knight experience.
