![]() -Hive Queen Vespa
![]() |
Hive Queen Vespa is a ghost in Hollow Knight. She gives information on the history of the Hive.
Lore
Vespa was the queen of the Hive, a tribe that is walled off from the lands of the Pale King.[1] The Hive rejected Hallownest's attempt at perpetuation, arguing that it is pointless to go against nature. Vespa eventually grew so large that she could no longer leave the Hive.[2]
At some point in time, Vespa died, causing the Hive to become consumed by the Infection.[3]
In-game events
After Hive Knight, Vespa's former protector, is defeated and the Hiveblood Charm is acquired, Vespa's ghost can be found in the same area that Hive Knight is fought. Her corpse can be seen in this room in the background.
She tells the Knight that she knows their kind, but that the pale beings, the Pale King and the White Lady, are responsible for the Knight's nature. Like all other ghosts, the Dream Nail can be used on her, giving 1 Essence.
Dialogue
