Glowing Womb

The Glowing Womb is a charm featured in Hollow Knight.

Description
Drains the SOUL of its bearer and uses it to birth hatchlings.

The hatchlings have no desire to eat or live, and will sacrifice themselves to protect their parent.

Function
Spawns small hatchlings that will charge at the nearest enemy and damage them, dying in the process.

The hatchlings will spawn automatically and use a small amount of SOUL each time. A maximum of 4 hatchlings can be spawned at the same time.

Equipping it together with the Defender's Crest will make the hatchlings explode as they come into contact with an enemy.

How to Acquire
The Glowing Womb can be acquired in the Forgotten Crossroads after the Crystal Heart is acquired at Crystal Peak. The entrance is hidden two screens to the right of the area where the False Knight is fought in the ceiling after a series of columns. The entrance is guarded by a lone Wandering Husk and set of spikes. The area itself is littered with Aspid Hunters and Aspid Mothers and has an arena where the player must fight a fair number of them before they can proceed to acquiring the Glowing Womb.

Trivia

 * The hatchlings also rest after a while when the player sits on a bench.
