Hollow Knight is a 2D platformer with an emphasis on exploration and boss battles. The game features a unique art style, beautiful music, and a captivating story. In this guide, I will provide all the locations of all the pale ore in the game so you can find it as soon as possible.
The hollow knight dream bug is a glitch that has been present for a while. It will cause your character to become stuck in the ground and unable to move, which can be very frustrating.
Pure Nail is the strongest version of the Nail in Hollow Knight. So, how can you get your hands on a Pure Nail? Collect Pale Ore and deliver it to the City of Tears’ Nailsmith. Then he’ll go ahead and finish the job.
There are a total of 6 Pale Ores, which may be found all throughout the Hallownest. The Nailsmith will need various materials for each upgrade. However, you need not be concerned since what you will get will be valuable.
| Damage | Geometry is needed. | Pale Ore is needed. | |
| Old Nail | 5 | – | – |
| Nail that has been sharpened | 9 | 250 | – |
| Nail that has been channeled | 13 | 800 | 1 |
| Nail Coiled | 17 | 2000 | 2 |
| Pure Nail | 21 | 4000 | 3 |
This article will tell you where all of the Pale Ore spots in Hollow Knight are. We’ll also rate Pale Ores from easiest to hardest to get, as well as provide some tips and techniques to make your journey as simple as pie.
Locations of Pale Ore in Hollow Knight
1. Crystal Peak Pale Ore
To acquire this Pale Ore, I recommend gathering the Mantis Claw, Monarch Wings, and Crystal Heart ahead of time. In reality, Mantis Claw is the sole need (along with excellent pogo-jumping skills*). Unless you believe your life is already difficult enough, I strongly advise you to get these two. To acquire this Pale Ore, you don’t need to battle any bosses; all you have to do is climb to the summit of the Crystal Peak.
The following are the locations and functions of the three abilities that are recommended:
- Mothwing Cloak: Press Sprint to dash a short distance, allowing you to cover gaps too large for regular leaping. After fighting Hornet in Greenpath, it may be discovered on the body of a Vessel.
- Mantis Claw: Assists you in clinging to the wall, and hitting Leap while clinging allows you to jump again. It may be found in the Fungal Wastes’ Mantis Village.
- Hold DASH for approximately a second before releasing the button to rocket ahead. The Knight will only be halted if he hits a wall or takes damage. Crystal Peak is where you can get it.
2. Forgotten Crossroads’ Pale Ore
You’ll come across Grubs imprisoned in glass jars during your trip. When you return to the Grubhome in Forgotten Crossroads after rescuing them, the Grubfather will reward you with Geo, Charms, and a Pale Ore if you save 31 Grubs.
Despite the fact that you don’t have to battle any monsters to save 31 Grubs, there are only 46 of them in the Hallownest. You won’t be able to tell how many Grubs you’ve saved either. Nonetheless, isn’t it true that hard effort pays off?
3. Pale Ore in the Deepest Depths
Deepnest and Royal Waterways are two places I don’t want to revisit because of the gloomy and stuffy atmosphere, as well as the tiresome, strange, and frightening opponents. However, I believe that the Nosk in Deepnest is the simplest monster to fight in order to get Pale Ore since there are two places that will protect you from the Nosk (which is readily found out, and I don’t want to spoil your experience by making it too easy).
Furthermore, the Nosk is a secret boss, and you must demolish a breakable wall to reach its lair. Then you’ll arrive to a maze and encounter the Nosk, who is posing as another “the Knight.” You will be able to reach the boss chamber if you pursue this version of Nosk to the finish. If you defeat the Nosk, you’ll be rewarded at the conclusion of its liar.
*pogo-jumping: a skill in which you leap over opponents and strike them down at the appropriate moment. You’ll be bouncing up as though you’re doing a JUMP if you’re successful.
You may upgrade your Nail to Coiled Nail after collecting 3 Pale Ores. Your weapon’s damage will be quadrupled (from 5 to 17), and your strength will be increased, but keep in mind that this is just the beginning of your adventure on Hallownest.
The last three Pale Ores will force you to engage in boss battles that may take hours to complete. But keep in mind that things will only become more difficult in Hollow Knight, not the other way around. So lace up your boots and prepare for the next fight.
4. Ancient Basin Pale Ore
Two Lesser Mawlek may be discovered in the Ancient Basin, which you must fight. They are a smaller and weaker version of Brooding Mawlek, the Forgotten Crossroads mini-boss. If you’re tired of looking for 31 Grubs, this may be a better option for obtaining the 3rd Pale Ore.
To be honest, they aren’t powerful enough to be referred to as “boss.” You have the ability to rapidly study and recall their assault patterns. Pale Ore is encrusted on a fossil stone towards the left end of the chamber after you’ve gotten through them.
5. Resting Ground for Pale Ore
The Seer who lives in the north section of the Resting Grounds will offer you this Pale Ore. But first, let’s figure out how to go to Resting Grounds.
There are two routes that will take you there. The simplest way is to plunge through the rabbit hole from the Crystalised Mound’s entrance. When you reach the surface, you’ll be at the Resting Grounds. Using the elevator in the City of Tears is another more difficult option. You will, however, encounter numerous mini-bosses on your way there. Also, the Seer will not offer you Pale Ore for free, therefore I advise you to go with the former.
After entering Resting Grounds, turn right and you’ll come upon the Dreamers Memorial. You will be sent to the Dream World after examining them. Then you’ll be on the hunt for the Seer’s dream form. When you find the Seer, she’ll give you the Dream Nail and take you back to her home. After a brief discussion between the two of you, she will encourage you to locate and gather Essence and return it to her. The Seer will offer you Pale Ore if you return after collecting 300 Essence.
How and where do you gather Essence once more? There are five different places where you can get Essence. Whispering Roots, on the other hand, is the main source of Essence, with a total of 482 available.
6. In the Colosseum of Fools, Pale Ore
The Colosseum of Fools is an arena at the top of the Kingdom’s Edge where you must fight infinite waves of foes one after the other. This is the most difficult Pale Ore to get since you only have a short amount of time to rest and recover after each wave, therefore you must remain focused because a mistake will result in a retake.
Fortunately, to get Pale Ore, you only need to complete the first Trail – Trail of the Warrior – where your opponents are slower and you have more break time to refill your Masks than the other two Trails. Longnail and Quick Focus are two charms I suggest for this level.
The trails are where you may meet up with old friends like Gruz Mother, Vengefly King, and even Zote the Mighty (even though he is innocuous and not your enemy as well).
My advice is to keep track of the wave’s sequence and enemy actions. There will be waves when opponents will offer you lots of opportunities to heal, while others will not allow you a second or any space. It’s possible that you’ll have to repeat difficulties many times, but try to learn from your errors and develop a strategy that works for you.
