Dirtmouth



A small village sitting atop most of Hallownest, encountered at the beginning of the game. This is where the Knight is first able to enter Hallownest properly.

Initially, all of the buildings are closed off, and the only NPC living there is Elderbug. However, as the player encounters more NPCs during the game, several make their way back to town and open up several buildings, including a Stag Station, two Merchants, Bretta and Confessor Jiji's (or Steel Soul Jinn if the save file is in Steel Soul Mode) cave.

It connects to the Forgotten Crossroads and King's Pass, the zone where the player starts their journey, as well as to Crystal Peak via an unlockable elevator.

The starting area of the game, it contains a small set of tunnels with glowing messages. At the far east is a large sealed door that the player must break open to access the rest of the game.

The player can later return to this area through Howling Cliffs or by going back through the Eastern entrance using Mantis Claw.
