Joni's Blessing is a Charm in Hollow Knight. It changes all masks to Lifeblood masks and increases masks by 40% +1.
Usefulness
As with Lifeblood Heart and Lifeblood Core, Joni's Blessing is more useful in a Spell-focused build where SOUL can be used to cast spells rather than heal. As such, it should be saved for later in the game when more Notches have been acquired.
How to Acquire
Found in Joni's Repose in Howling Cliffs. The charm is resting on the corpse of Blue Child Joni.
Charm Interactions
 | Hiveblood (In all other cases, Hiveblood does not affect Lifeblood masks.) |
 | Fury of the Fallen Lifeblood masks from Joni's Blessing are not treated like normal lifeblood masks, and instead are treated like actual masks. Due to this, Fury of the Fallen will only trigger when the Knight has one mask remaining. |
 | Grubberfly's Elegy Lifeblood masks from Joni's Blessing are not treated like normal lifeblood masks, and instead are treated like actual masks. This makes Grubberfly's Elegy only trigger when the Knight is at the maximum amount of masks. |
 | Fragile Heart Joni's Blessing will include the Masks given by Fragile/Unbreakable Heart when calculating its hp bonus. |
 | Lifeblood Heart Stacks with both Lifeblood Heart and Lifeblood Core. |
 | Lifeblood Core Stacks with both Lifeblood Heart and Lifeblood Core. |
 | Shaman Stone Since Shaman Stone is used in spell-casting-focused builds, it is good to combine it with Joni's Blessing in battles where healing is difficult or impossible. |
Trivia
- Reaching 1 Mask while having this charm equipped will not create the black streaks across the screen.
- Technically, this charm reduces max HP to 1, then takes what max HP would be otherwise and multiplies it by 1.4, adding that many Joni masks on top of the 1. Hence: 40% + 1.
- If the Knight dies, the HUD displays a single empty mask, representing a maximum of 1 HP with a regular mask. This affects the Knight's Shade health and will render it to die in one hit.
- There is a glitch where occasionally the Knight will gain one additional hit point after they have taken their supposed available last Lifeblood mask hit. This additional Mask is a normal white health point but will be covered in the black fog effect until destroyed.
