Wayward Compass

Wayward Compass is a Charm in Hollow Knight. It shows the location of the Knight on the map.

Usefulness

This charm is useful for exploration purposes and is a good charm for a first playthrough. It is recommended to switch it for something more combat-oriented when preparing for a boss battle.

Once a keen knowledge of the map's layout is attained, the charm is no longer worthwhile.

How to Acquire

Bought from Iselda in Dirtmouth for 220, after the first encounter with Cornifer the cartographer.

Trivia

• The location of the Knight is shown even when no map of the area has been bought.
