Myla

"This is hard work, but I don't mind. Down here, I can k-keep working without even sleeping. It's fun!"

- Myla

Myla is an NPC in Hollow Knight. She is a happy little miner mining for treasure near the entrance to Crystal Peak.

Lore She is a miner searching for something valuable hidden deeper within the crystals. She enjoys singing and wants to come up with some songs of her own. Myla hears the crystals singing and whispering, hoping to find them and hear what they are saying.

Eventually, Myla becomes infected, her cheerful song changing. The voice of the Radiance appears in her mind, commanding her to kill the Knight. In the end, the Infection overtakes her, making her become hostile. However, the song she was always singing remains in her thoughts.

In-game events Myla is located in the Forgotten Crossroads. When first met, she is mining and gleefully singing, hoping that the Knight will come to visit her again later.

Once Vengeful Spirit has been acquired, her dialogue changes, then later once Desolate Dive has been obtained she starts showing signs of being infected.

After obtaining the Crystal Heart, Myla turns into another fully infected Husk Miner. If the Knight kills her after this, she lets out a cry after being killed.

Location
Myla can be encountered in the northeast part of the Forgotten Crossroads, near one of the entrances to Crystal Peak.

Trivia

 * Early stages in development showed Myla with a slightly different design. In the Hollow Knight Kickstarter Myla was accompanied by a male voice as well as being referred to as The Miner.
 * Killing Myla after she is fully infected counts towards the Husk Miner's journal entry.
