Guide to completing the Forgotten Crossroads in Hollow Knight Part 2. Find Charms, Items, NPCs, and explore previously inaccessible areas with new abilities.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the starting area, go left to collect a Vessel Fragment.
  2. 2
    Locate and use the Bench on the bottom right of the map, accessible now with the Dash ability.
  3. 3
    Enter the hut to meet Salubra, a vendor. You can buy Charms (e.g., Long Nail for 300 Geo, Steady Body for 120 Geo) and Notches. Note: Buying additional Notches requires owning 10 Charms for the second, 18 for the third, and 25 for the fourth.
  4. 4
    Head to a previously unreachable Mask Shard on a wall. From the left entrance of the screen, go right and climb the wall through small corridors to find it. Break the scaffolding to exit.
  5. 5
    Visit the Grubfather for Geo and another Mask Shard. Rescue a Grub in the vicinity first.
  6. 6
    Return to Dirtmouth and purchase the Lumafly Lantern from Sly for 1800 Geo.
  7. 7
    Proceed to the path to Crystal Peak, which was previously dark but is now navigable with the Lumafly Lantern.
  8. 8
    Once at the Crystal Peak entrance, pay Geo to open the gate.
  9. 9
    Go below and defeat the Glimback enemies, which only take damage from the front.
  10. 10
    Mine the two Geo rocks to the left.
  11. 11
    Go right, mine the Geo rock, and break the scaffolding to continue.
