Monarch Wings

Function
Press JUMP while in the air to perform a double-jump. Refreshes when the Knight lands on the ground, takes damage, bounces off an enemy/object with their Nail, or clings to/jumps off a wall using Mantis Claw.

Similar to the regular jump the height of the "flap" scales with how long the JUMP button is held.

The Monarch Wings are not necessary to finish the game, however, they allow access to the following rooms: The Monarch Wings are intended to be used to access Hallownest Crown, the Watcher Spire and Hornet in Kingdom's Edge. However, these locations can be accessed by nail jumping on enemies and environmental objects.
 * The Palace Ground and by consequent the White Palace.
 * The Fungal Core and by consequent a Mask Shard.
 * The Enraged Guardian's room and by consequent a Mask Shard.

The Monarch Wings are also very useful for platforming and during fights against some bosses.
