Map and Quill

A map charting the various rooms, passages, and chambers within Hallownest.

To start mapping an area, the player must first purchase an incomplete area map from Cornifer, which will allow the player to see the map by pressing INVENTORY and scrolling to the Map page, or by holding down QUICK MAP. If the player Misses Cornifer in an area by defeating the area boss, Iselda will sell the map of that area for a slightly higher price in Dirtmouth.

To complete the map, the player then needs the Quill, sold by Iselda. After the player has explored uncharted areas, they will need to rest at a Bench to update the map. Explored areas of the map appear as colored segments with solid lines.

The Wayward Compass charm shows the player's current location on the map.

Different pins can also be acquired that show different points of interest on the map.

Maps
Maps can be bought from Cornifer in each area, or, if the player misses him (usually by beating the area's Boss before speaking to him), Iselda sells them in their shop in Dirtmouth for a slightly higher price.

Map Pins
Map pins are used to mark locations on the map. They are sold by Iselda in Dirtmouth, with the exception of the Collector's Pin that shows Grub locations on the map, dropped by The Collector. {| class="article-table" width="100%" !Icon !Name & Description !Cost !Condition
