Map and Quill

A map charting the various rooms, passages, and chambers within Hallownest.

To start mapping an Area, the player must first purchase an incomplete area map from Cornifer. If the player misses Cornifer in an area (usually by defeating the area Boss), Iselda will sell the map of that area for a slightly higher price in Dirtmouth.

The player can view the entire map by pressing INVENTORY and scrolling to the Map page. This can also be accessed by double-tapping QUICK MAP instead of navigating through the menu. Holding down QUICK MAP will open an overlaid map of the current Area, allowing The Knight to walk around in the background while reading the map.

To complete the map, the player then needs to purchase the Quill, sold by Iselda. After the player has explored uncharted areas, they will need to rest at a Bench to update the map. Explored areas of the map appear as coloured segments with solid lines. Most of the time, entering a room will fill the entire room on the map; however, some will only become partially revealed.

The Collector's Map
Acquired in the top of the Tower of Love (after defeating The Collector), this item grants the player the ability to see all the 46 grubs locations on the map, marked by a pin. This works just like the pins bought from Iselda's shop.

Mapping Tools
The 4 markers can be placed on the map on the inventory screen. Each set contains 6 markers.

Maps
Maps can be bought from Cornifer in each area, or, if the player misses him (usually by beating the area's Boss before speaking to him, Iselda sells them in their shop in Dirtmouth for a slightly higher price.

Map Pins
Map pins are used to mark locations on the map. They are sold by Iselda in Dirtmouth, with the exception of the Collector's Pin, which is dropped by The Collector. {| class="article-table" width="100%" !Icon !Name & Description !Cost !Condition
