Bench (Hollow Knight)

Benches are checkpoints throughout Hallownest that the Knight can sit on to perform several actions: In some cases, Benches must be unlocked by paying a toll machine with Geo.
 * Respawn at the Bench after quitting the game or dying
 * Replenish all health (including Lifeblood masks granted by Charms, but depleting all Lifeblood masks from Cocoons)
 * Equip and unequip Charms
 * Fill out the Map with places already explored (requires purchasing a Quill)
 * If Salubra's Blessing has been purchased, the Knight will slowly replenish SOUL
 * Respawn enemies (not in the bench room) that were defeated prior to sitting
 * Respawn Lifeblood Cocoons

The player may purchase a Bench Pin from Iselda for, which reveals the locations of every Bench in the Area after that area's Map has been purchased.

Benches
There are a variety of styles of Benches all throughout the game, with many unique to a specific area.
