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 and is good during a first playthrough. It is recommended to switch to something more combat-oriented when preparing for a boss battle.

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

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