Sharp Shadow

Sharp Shadow is a Charm in Hollow Knight. It damages enemies when dashing through them and increases dash length when using the Shade Cloak.

Usefulness Enemies struck by the Sharp Shadow do not generate SOUL.

Sharp Shadow can harm enemies that are immune to Nail attacks.

Be warned that while the 40% increase to dash length can be useful against certain bosses, making it easier to dash through them and their attacks, it can also make some platforming sections more difficult.

How to Acquire Located in Deepnest, southeast of the Hot Spring behind a Shade Gate. Requires Shade Cloak.

Trivia
 * When using the Shade Cloak with Sharp Shadow the Knight turns into a six-eyed void creature for a split second before reverting back to normal.
 * The pedestal on which the Sharp Shadow Charm is found resembles an empty Soul Totem covered with twisted black vines of what is possibly Void.Shadow dash ooma.gif
 * Shadow Dashing through an Ooma while using Sharp Shadow causes its explosive core to always go to the right, independently of the direction the Knight dashes. This effect is also present in the bodies of enemies killed by the Shadow Dash (though its much easier to see in flying enemies). Whether this is intentional or a bug in the in-game physics is unknown.
 * When using the Nail Binding in any  Pantheon, Sharp Shadow's damage is not affected. Its damage is also not affected by the Fragile Strength/ Unbreakable Strength and Fury of the Fallen Charms.
