Seer

"Tending these graves and guiding the Wielder... all penitence for old crimes. Certain things have to be kept in balance."

- Seer

The Seer is a Quest NPC in Hollow Knight. She gives the Knight the Dream Nail and grants rewards depending on how much Essence has been acquired.

Lore The Seer is the last surviving member of the Moth Tribe. She tends the graves of the Resting Grounds and guides the Knight because she regrets that her ancestors forgot about their creator, the Radiance.

In-game events The Seer brings the Knight back to her house after they are trapped in the dream realm by the Dreamers.

She gives the Knight the Dream Nail, which grants access into the dreams of NPCs and enemies along with other abilities. She then urges the Knight to go and collect as much Essence as possible in order to fully awaken the Dream Nail.

When the Knight has collected 2400 Essence and returns to her, she explains more about the history of Hallownest, after which she dissipates into Essence.
