Once you pay the toll, head back to the previous area, this time heading to the upper right side. Once you arrive, pay the 150 Geo toll to activate the lift and create a quick pathway between the City of Tears and the Forgotten Crossroads.

Now that you’ve met Lemm, head back up to the previous area and take the elevator up one stop. Lemm buys Wanderer’s Journals, Hallownest Seals, King’s Idols, and Arcane Eggs, awarding the player an amount of Geo which scales with the rarity of those items. Hop through, dispatch the large charging enemy, then hop down a level and hit the lever to unlock the gate to the lower level.Īfter unlocking the gate, head right and you’ll meet Relic Seeker Lemm, Hollow Knight’s first item buyer. Take out the flying enemies and follow the platforms to the top to acquire a Hallownest Seal, then follow the platforms to the right until you reach an elevated exit.

Once you reach the bottom, head left and you’ll soon arrive at the Nailsmith. Rest up, then continue down until you reach the elevator to the base level of the City. Dodge the dive-bombing Belfly, then take the exit at the end of the corridor and descend until you reach the first area Bench.
