How to get Void Heart?

Learning how to get Void Heart in Hollow Knight is essential for accessing the game's true ending and completing one of its most challenging questlines.

Prerequisites for Obtaining Void Heart

Before you can acquire the Void Heart, you must first obtain two other crucial charms: the Kingsoul and have it fully assembled. The Kingsoul requires two halves - one from the White Palace and another from the Queen's Gardens. You'll also need the Awoken Dream Nail, which is obtained by collecting 1,800 Essence and visiting the Seer.

Step-by-Step Process

1. Complete the White Palace

Navigate through the challenging White Palace platforming section to obtain the first half of the Kingsoul from the Pale King's corpse.

2. Find the Queen's Gardens Fragment

Locate the second Kingsoul fragment in the Queen's Gardens by defeating the Traitor Lord and accessing the hidden area behind his arena.

3. Enter the Abyss

With the complete Kingsoul equipped, head to the bottom of the Abyss. The charm will react to the area, opening a hidden passage to the left.

4. The Birthplace Sequence

In this hidden area called "Birthplace," you'll witness a crucial cutscene showing the Knight's origins. The Kingsoul will automatically transform into the Void Heart during this sequence.

What Void Heart Does

The Void Heart is unique among charms - it takes up zero notches and cannot be unequipped once obtained. It unifies the void within the Knight, making them immune to void damage and enabling access to the true ending path. This charm also allows you to dream nail the Hollow Knight during the final boss fight, opening the way to face the Radiance.

Mastering this process opens up Hollow Knight's deepest lore and most rewarding conclusion. Ready to dive deeper into the void's mysteries and discover what other secrets the Abyss holds?
