Lemm

"There's a forgotten history hidden in this kingdom's antiques, though few seem willing to look. Others come just to claw away at the cracks and ruins."

- Relic Seeker Lemm Relic Seeker Lemm is a Merchant in Hollow Knight. He collects Relics and buys them for fair amounts of Geo.

Lemm can be found at his shop overlooking Fountain Square. He eagerly offers Geo in exchange for rare antiques from about the Kingdom: Wanderer's Journals, Hallownest Seals, King's Idols and Arcane Eggs. Unlike Geo, relics are not lost upon death, which makes them a solution to secure large amounts of Geo before spending them.

Upon delivery of a relic, Lemm shares his collected knowledge of the kingdom's history: the Pale King and his Five Great Knights, the wanderers lost in the caverns, and even the ancient civilisation buried underneath.

After the Knight has defeated one of the three Dreamers, Lemm closes his shop for a break. He can be found gazing at the Memorial to the Hollow Knight in the middle of Fountain Square. Lemm ponders about the meaning of the statue, as he never found the Hollow Knight mentioned anywhere else except for the fountain's plaque. After having listened to him, he returns to his shop.

Lemm is an outsider to Hallownest. He entered the fallen kingdom searching for rare relics. He explores his current location and covets antiques, gleaning any information on the land's history. While Lemm can happily discuss his discoveries and hypotheses, he guards his collection and is not willing to sell any of it.

Despite the sealed gates, Lemm found his way to the heart of the kingdom, the City of Tears. There he set a shop in one of the empty towers around Fountain Square. He does not seek company unless they bring him more material for his collection.
