Hollow Knight: Lost Souls

Hollow Knight: Lost Souls is the first installment in the three-game trilogy created by ThatIsAPirate that takes place after the original game including the Eternal Palace DLC. The game features the Knight and Blood Wasp as the main character.

Description & Backstory
Join a new hero in another husk hunting, spider squashing, bee bashing adventure as it ventures the deep, dark void in an attempt to eliminate a being known as The Keeper, which threatens the fate of the nest and all of its inhabitants.

The game itself takes place after the “Embrace The Void” ending in the previous game. Absolute Radiance has been defeated and the Void Given Focus (Shade Lord) has escaped through the Godseeker’s body, killing her in the process. Void has leaked throughout the Kingdom. The Knight is now lost in the Abyss, needing to find a way out. Meanwhile, a new Vessel is called to Hallownest, in a similar fashion to the Knight, known as “Blood Wasp.” To aid the Knight in removing the Void from Hallownest.

A mysterious being known as The Keeper has also made it’s way into Hallownest, threatening the Kingdom with is control of Void. It is up to Blood Wasp and their crew to confront The Keeper and put an end to the leakage of Void Essence within Hallownest.

Items
When thrown into the Abyss, the Knight had lost all of their charms, spells, and items, including the Voidheart, which was extracted from it by The Keeper. Progress is reset and the items and charms are scattered in various spots throughout the kingdom.

Relics have been revamped as well:
 * Scrap can be earned by simply destroying background and foregroud items. There are an infinite amount of these, as props do respawn.
 * Rune Rocks can be earned by interacting with Lore Tablets throughout the kingdom. There is a one in four chance a tablet gives a rune rock, and they can only give the relic once.
 * Hallownest Seals are found randomly throughout the kingdom, similar to the relics from the previous game.
 * King's Idols are found randomly throughout the kingdom, similar to the relics from the previous game.
 * Shaman Staffs are found randomly throughout the kingdom, similar to the relics from the previous game.
 * Void Stones are obtained by killing Voidsaggs. Only four of these can be found.

Abandoned Town
The Abandoned Town serves a similar purpose to Dirtmouth, with various merchants available to talk too. It’s inhabited with Siblings as well, hostile to the Knight.

The Abyss
Beyond the walls of the Abandoned Town lies the Abyss: birthplace of the vessels and home to several Shades. Many Siblings live here, too, and block the long climb up to the Abyss. TBD is the main boss here, and will grant the Monarch Wings upon defeat.

King's Basin
The King's Basin is found outside of the Abyss. It is filled with different husks and basic enemies, reanimated by the Infection. This is the last Infected place on the map, as most of the Infection disappeared following the death of the Absolute Radiance. Various Kingsmould and Royal Retainer corpses can be found lying around, and one final Kingsmould serves as a mini-boss at the northern border of the basin, blocking a tunnel that leads into the Void System.

Void System
Above the Basin lays a large, forgotten sewage system infested with void creatures and flukes, a hostile group of enemies that live on the far left side of the system.

Junkpit
The Junkpit is a major area of the game, found to the left of the Void System. After traversing through a lot of flukes, the Junkpit can be found, where the Pale Hunter can be fought for the first time. Defeating her grants the Basin Key, which is necessary to open up the western half of the Ancient Basin.

Silenced City
The Silenced City is a city that lays above the Void System. Rain drips down from the Blue Lake above, slowly turning into void as it falls from the sky. It is guarded by various sentries that patrol the city, given life after the end of the Infection. The Silenced City can be entered from the western part of the Void System, or the eastern part, which leads into King’s Station. A hidden tunnel under the King’s Station leads into Kingdom's Edge, and two lifts found on the upper ends of the city can lead to the Crustacean Caverns and Forgotten Crossroads. The city is home to the Grave Guardian, who is fought at the top of the King’s Station, between the City and the Caverns.

Deepnest
Deepnest remains untouched by the Void leakage, full of hostile enemies. The Darkness Guardian is fought at the far west end of the nest.

Kingdom's Edge
The ashy remains of a fallen wyrm covers the edges of the forgotten kingdom, with Void dripping from the top of of the cliffs. This area can be accessed from the bottom of the Void System, locked off by a Blood Gate, or from above by an entrance near the Crustacean Caverns.

Crustacean Caverns
On the grounds of a former graveyard are the Crustacean Caverns, filled with monstrous beasts drawn to the kingdom by a mountain glimmering crystals. These large crustaceans inhabit the caverns, consuming most of the crystals and empowering them. At the top of the tunnels lurks the King Crab, who, when defeated, gains access to the Crab Smash spell.
