Jinn

"Jinn, little know... cannot tell of self. Too young, its thought, its mind. Born to provide, to trade."

- Steel Soul Jinn

Steel Soul Jinn is a Merchant in Hollow Knight. She only appears in Steel Soul Mode, replacing Confessor Jiji.

Steel Soul Jinn replaces Jiji in Steel Soul Mode, as the difficulty mode's permanent death makes Jiji's service useless. Instead, Jinn buys Rancid Eggs for each, which she claims her friend appreciates. Jinn is an outsider to Hallownest, obeying to unseen masters. She speaks in rhythm and claims to be too young to tell anything about herself. Her metallic body cannot take damage, although she still feels strikes at her. She resides in the locked cavern by the base of Crystal Peak in Dirtmouth, where she has been sleeping.

Location
Steel Soul Jinn is located on the very east side of Dirtmouth, within a cave that requires a Simple Key to open.

Trivia

 * The friend she mentions who likes Rancid Eggs is most likely Confessor Jiji, who is willing to offer her services for them.
 * Jinn is one of the few NPCs who can be "hit" with the Nail without taking damage. The other five being the Grubfather, Bardoon, Mister Mushroom, Millibelle, and the Midwife.
 * An upcoming enemy revealed in the Silksong trailer bears a striking similarity to Jinn. It is also a companion to Steel Assassin Sharpe furthering some sort of motif of "steel" between the characters.
 * Jinn was confirmed by the developers to be female.
 * She is mistakenly referred to as male in some translations of the game.
