City of Tears

A Stag Station that lies partially in ruins, named after the King of Hallownest. A flooded Stagway beneath the working station infested with Belflies provides access to Kingdom's Edge.

Special Rooms City Storerooms The City Storerooms are where all goods were transported into the city. They consist of two superimposed caverns bordering the Fungal Wastes, above the city's entrance from the Pilgrim's Way. Cargo lifts transported goods from the Stag Station above to the storerooms below. This area also connects to the building below the Soul Sanctum and the lift to the Forgotten Crossroads.

Pleasure House Kitchen This room is located in the Pleasure House, which requires a Simple Key to unlock and access. It is found on the 5th floor.

This grim nook is a desolate set of rooms littered with corpses of Hallownest’s Aristocracy. A bug named Poggy Thorax can be found in these rooms, they comment on the Knight's small stature calling them “skinny”. The room in which Poggy is found also features a small pile of bugs resembling Poggy and dozens of small flies hovering over the rotten flesh strung from the ceiling of the room.

A single Rancid Egg can also be found in the living room surrounded by the husks of high-class denizens of Hallownest.

Trivia
 * The richer side of the City was planned to be a proper sub-area named the "Royal Quarter".
 * A sealed door above the entrance through the Pilgrim's Way appears to connect the City Storerooms Lift to the Fungal Wastes. This can never be opened or interacted with during the game and remains permanently shut.
 * A pre-release screenshot depicts Fountain Square without the memorial to the Hollow Knight. Instead, a multi-level fountain can be found in its place.
 * Very early in development, the City of Tears was known as "Ruins" and "Ruined City". This can still be seen in the game files for the City of Tears, which usually contain "ruins" in their name.
 * The "Mysterious Key", seen in one of the early trailers, has a sprite named "Bath house key". It was likely originally a unique key to open the Pleasure House. Part of its shop description was likely reused for the Elegant Key:
 * A scavenger found it floating with the refuse of the Waterways. It's a grimy old thing and I'm not really interested in other people's secrets. Sure, you can buy it if you like, but I won't guarantee it will lead you anywhere pleasant...
