Fragile Greed is a Charm in Hollow Knight. It increases the amount of Geo that is dropped by enemies.
Usefulness
It is recommended to use this charm in situations where death is unlikely, such as during exploration, backtracking, or in Steel Soul Mode.
The obvious downside is that once broken, Leg Eater will only repair it for a price. Late-game, the Geo may not be much of an issue, but the trip will be.
Unlike the other two fragile charms, Fragile Greed is not useful for Dream Boss battles since Dream Bosses drop no Geo.
How to Acquire
Purchased from Leg Eater in the Fungal Wastes for 250. Wearing the Defender's Crest Charm will cause Leg Eater to lower the cost to
200.
- Shop description:
- Very, very, special and valuable charm! Do you want to find more Geo? Hold this charm and go hunting! Then bring any Geo you find back to me!
When broken, Leg Eater can repair it for 150, or, while wearing Defender's Crest, for
120.
- Shop description when broken:
- It's broken now, and its power is sleeping. Very sad! Give me Geo, and I'll fix it.

Once the Grimm Troupe has been summoned, Divine becomes accessible in Dirtmouth. To get the unbreakable version of Fragile Greed, it must be equipped before listening to her, then it must be given to her when prompted. She eats the charm, and then asks for 9000. Once the Geo is paid, she gives the unbreakable version of Fragile Greed, Unbreakable Greed.

Trivia
- All extra Geo dropped by Fragile/Unbreakable Greed have a white sheen to it and faster animations.
- The charms only affect Geo from defeating enemies; this means they do not work with Geo gained from Geo Deposits, Chests, completing Trials at the Colosseum of Fools, Rescuing Grubs, selling Relics to Relic Seeker Lemm, selling Rancid Eggs to Steel Soul Jinn, and getting Geo back from Millibelle.
