Tips

 * There are several hidden platforming skips that the player may use, however, some of these have been patched out.
 * The White Palace contains sets of difficult platforming sections, therefore it is advised to use a good combination of Charms:
 * Hiveblood: allows the player to wait out healing between platforming sections if damaged
 * Longnail/Mark of Pride: they provide a bigger window for the player to nail-pogo on top of saw blades
 * Deep Focus: allows the player to heal double, albeit half as slow
 * Grubsong: provides a good amount of SOUL for taking damage.
 * Grubberfly's Elegy: provides an increased percentage of SOUL recovered when equipped with Grubsong. Combined with Deep Focus, this is enough to heal fully after two hits.
 * Quick Slash: allows the player to spam the downward strike lots of times without worrying about missing the timing.

Sub-area: Path of Pain
A secret, extra-challenging section of the White Palace, hidden behind a breakable wall at the beginning of the first sawblade room on the second floor. Completing this area unlocks a special cutscene depicting The Pale King and a younger version of The Hollow Knight.

Soul Totems in this area grant an endless supply of SOUL to the Knight, allowing for plenty of healing after each section.
