Void Tendrils

Hunter's Journal


''Fragments of void taking the shape of sharp. thrashing tendrils.   ''

''The bugs of Hallownest sometimes wondered whether there were other, older, stranger Kingdoms deep below them. What strange fancies they had. That's probably why they were always so distracted and easy to kill.''

Behaviour and Tactics
Void Tendrils are an "enemy" in the Abyss. They sit in pits of black liquid, reaching up and flail if the player character gets close. Coming into contact with it will reduce the player's HP by 1 and "reset" them before the pit as if they had been hit by a normal environmental hazard such as spikes or thorns.

Void Tendrils cannot be harmed. The player can only pass through them if they have the Shade Cloak ability. They will not appear if the Hollow Knight has the Void Heart.

Location
Void Tendrils come out of pits of liquid throughout the Abyss.
