Custom Modified Screenshots - Bring out your own story

Greetings to all. New to this awesome HKFW. First, a special thank you to all contributors for such a well maintained Fanon Wiki for a game we all love, love-hate.

 I wanted to start a thread we can all contribute to, by creating and sharing to the community a personal touch in fantasy wallpaper creating. As I am new and as there are so many pages, I apologize if such thread exists already. Basically, you find screenshots of the game that you can use as wallpaper, then create a fake scene by importing characters, other images, onto the wallpaper thus creating your own but with your own personal touch. I am certain this is something a lot of fans are doing, so if you have made funny, scary, cool, interesting, questionable, dark, etc.. wallpapers, feel free to show them here. One page wallpapers with, or without comic strip type blurb describing what is going on here. See images. Hope to see really awesome ones.

disclaimer: In this disclaimer, I will keep referencing the link and/or creator of the screenshots. This will be an ongoing edit from me to include this information for recognition purposes.

Slickwell

Slickwell is the kingdom in which Hollow Knight: Splattered Ink takes place. It is ruled by the Pale King's Brother, the Black King, a terrible tyrant. The creatures of Slickwell are capable of controlling Ink. The Red Knight arrives in this kingdom after his initial adventure. He helps the rebellion to overthrow the tyrant that rules them and departs to another kingdom.
Palace Guard

The **Palace Guard** is a boss added as part of the Eternal Palace update. They are found within the Eternal Palace and Ancient Basin and were minions of the Pale King, summoned to the Palace from the Crystal Peaks. They are nearly identical to the early game boss Crystal Guardian that was fought in the Crystal Peaks.

## Location

Two Palace Guards can be found outside the Eternal Palace at the Palace Gates. The Knight receives help from Hornet and Dung Defender during this fight. When killed, the gates to the palace open.

Another set of Palace Guards can be found in the area where Broken Vessel was fought in the Ancient Basin. They will only appear here if the original set of Palace Guards, as well as Lost Kin, have been defeated. They drop from the ceiling as a surprise encounter if the the Knight revisits the arena.

## Behavior and Tactics

The Palace Guards, as stated above, are fought in sets of two. They have three attacks, most of which are similar to the Crystal Guardian’s attacks.

* **Leap**: A guard will leap from their place to a short distance to move around the arena.
* **Laser Beam**: A guard will point it’s hand at the Knight and shoot a large laser beam. Similar to beams within the Crystal Peaks, they start of harmless and enlarge, becoming dangerous for about a second. Only a single Guard can use this attack at a time.
* **Crystal Spikes**: A Guard will launch up to three damaging spikes at the Knight. They will move straight directly across the arena, shattering as it touches a wall.

Unlike the Crystal Guardian, the Palace Guards do not have a armored head, and therefore can be nail-bounced on. When one of the Palace Guard is killed, the other will let out a boss roar similar to the Oblobbles fight. However, the other Guard will rage and his attacks remain the same. If the first Palace Guard is killed by Hornet or Dung Defender in the Eternal Palace fight, than the roar will not occur
Nexus

## Appearance and Personality

Nexus is made completely out of Void, though it can speak, and has a somewhat weak will. Like other Void beings, it is genderless, but it typically calls itself a he. He has a strong hatred towards anything that may like him, for he has an incredible amount of self-resentment, knowing that he hates things that like him, he hates himself for succumbing to hurt the others around him. He contains the Radiance.

## What Happened

In his attempt to isolate himself, he locked himself in the dream realm. There, he changes himself to look gruesome and evil to deter people from going near him. If someone did go near him, he would have been thrown out of the dream realm, for he finally accepts that he cannot escape the rest of the world. He then reverts to his original form, waiting for solitude. However, the Radiance started talking to him, and he couldn't stop her. This drove him insane, as he vowed to never kill if he could avoid it. This is why his eyes seem to be the same as the Radiance's. However, he managed to silence her by consuming essence, and channeling it to form a seal within him.

## Attacks

Nexus doesn't normally fight, but when he does, it ends quickly. He has 3 main attacks, and 1 extra attack.

Void Tendrils- The Void Tendrils coming out of his back lash out at his enemies, though they have infinite range.

Dark Focus- He focuses, but when he is healed Void Tendrils lash out in every direction.

Essence Blades- Nails made of Essence form, and are launched towards the enemy at lightning speed.

Cascading Crown- Descending Dark, but with a larger reach and shockwave capable of dealing 4 masks of damage.
Moonsword and Starsplash

**Moonsword and Starsplash** is an animated TV show created by ThatIsAPirate, and the third series of the Hollow Knight Cinematic Universe. Narratively, Moonsword and Starsplash takes place before the finales of Quirrel and Puddle, making it the first entry to take place in the universe as of now. It focuses on two sisters: Moonsword and Starsplash, as they venture through the upper part of Hallownest during the first round of the Infection.

## Plot

Moonsword was born to Tensana and Poncho, and had always dreamed of being an artist. Not long after, she had recieved a sister known as Starsplash, and the two grew close. When the Infection struck, Tensana and Poncho hid away with there daughters and forbided them to leave. The parents themselves only went out occasionally for food and resources, though as they grew older and weaker, this became increasingly more difficult.

Now, as Moonsword and Starsplash grow older, they must venture the kingdom by themselves in order to care for their parents.
Shatterer of Nails/Splattered Ink

Art and character by ArchAngel217

The Shatterer of Nails also appears as a boss in Hollow Knight: Splattered Ink, as he is Red's Archrival. He has the same attacks as in Hollow Knight: The Red Glare. He is seen bowing to Red in the Rebel's Camp, and disappears when approached. He is fought only once in this game.

Skaroman

I have seen this snail-like bug wandering Hallownest. It seems to be easy prey, though I doubt it would provide much challenge. Too easy.

## History

Skaroman was found by a group of Snail shaman's at a young age. He travelled Hallownest and the surrounding regions with his new family, mastering the art of using Soul at a young age. Though not a Snail, Skaroman does share some similarities with the species, a pure black body and white eyes, though he has additional horns. He wears a Snail shell helmet made of a stone-like material. He ventured the lands outside of Hallownest for a while, but has now returned, drawn there by a forgotten past.

## Location

Skaroman can be found in a total of six different locations. He is first found in Dirtmouth, where he will be sitting on-top of one of the old crumbling buildings, if you interact with him there he can then be found in the Ancestral mound, sleeping on the bench. Then he can be found in Kingdoms edge, then Deepnest. He can also be found at the entrance to the abys, once it has been opened. He can finally be found in the Forgotten Tomb, within the Abyss. In the Forgotten Tomb, he can be found in two locations: The Ancient Hut, and right before The Tomb Centre

Skaroman in DirtmouthSkaroman in the Ancestral MoundSkaroman in DeepnestSkaroman in Kingdom's EdgeSkaroman Next to the Entrance to the Abyss
## Functionality and Events

When the Knight first dreamnails The Ancient Gate, Skaroman will appear in Dirtmouth, siting on a cracked dome at one edge of the town. He will then make his way to Kingdom's Edge, Deepnest and finally, the Abyss. When inside the abyss Skaroman can be talked to and acts as a npc in the Forgotten Tomb, by paying him geo he can open a "stag station" In a tunnel he finds that connects to the Stagways. He can also genhance certain charms or spells if the knight finds the right materials from the Tomb.

As the knight explores more of the Forgotten Tomb it will discover more about the ancient civilisation eventually entering a strange world partially in the dream realm with Skaroman. In this it is revealed that Skaroman is the last of an ancient species of bugs that were a small part of the void worshipping kingdom. If the knight continues to explore the tomb, it is revealed that deep in the heart of it is a great power sealed by the Void Kingdom, described as the "Rebel Void". The knight has two options when it reaches the resting place of this being. This option comes when Skaroman enters and uses his soul abilities to break apart the Abyss Lord if the knight attacks the Abyss Lord it will start the path to the destruction ending, if it attacks Skaroman it takes the Knight down the Rebel ending.

Scorpion

Way of the Nail
Stephan The Scholar

A living remnant of the Soul Sanctum, he wanders the crumbling kingdom in search of answers. And perhaps more gruzzer milk.

## Lore

Stephan was regarded as strange by his fellow scholars. He would often be found passed out at his desk; ancient scrolls and tablets piled high in front of him, and a jar of gruzzer milk in his limp left hand. He'd mumble incoherently about "hollowness", "the value of geo", "I told you it's a placeholder date, you fool!" and other strange nonsense. The sanctum scholar would often experience intense headaches from the sheer amount of mental gymnastics he had to pull in order for the universe he resided in to make any sort of sense. As a result, he often took to gruzzer milk in order to ease his pain.

When the infection struck, Stephan sensed potential where even the most intelligent of mind missed. While most of the sanctum scholars were set upon using soul as a means of shielding themselves from the infection, Stephan saw the answer where they least expected: in gruzzer milk. This bold declaration was met with much scrutiny from his peers. Many accused him of being a lazy oaf who only wanted to indulge in his own disturbing addiction to the substance. Now there may have been some truth to these claims, however, the root cause was still for the good of the kingdom. But his fellow scholars did not see it that way, no. So deterred were they of the truth, that the fools cast him out of the sanctum. But he would not let their cruel words and disgust for gruzzer milk get in the way of his research.

On one unfortunate day, another pounding headache had befallen Stephan. He was fresh out of gruzzer milk jars, and so had to go out for more. But luck at first appeared to be on his side, as he soon stumbled upon an abandoned stock of gruzzer milk around the Crossroads. One little sip before bringing it all back to his makeshift home couldn't hurt, right? Wrong. The scholar soon found himself stuck and trapped inside the barrel, unable to escape.

Many years had passed since that day. And for all that time, Stephan had remained hidden inside the barrel. That is until a cloaked midget came charging through the crossroads, swinging their nail furiously in all directions. The damage they had caused left many things in shambles - including Stephan's prison. Miraculously, Stephan was indeed alive; his body had been preserved by the gruzzer milk. Now, he wanders the ruins of the long dead kingdom, trying to piece together what had happened.

Bob The Builderbug

Bob the Builderbug was Mender Berri's first love. Out of jealously, Menderbug killed him in his sleep. Menderbug was subsequently arrested, but he had it coming, as he was already sentenced to life in prison after he was caught smuggling a large quantity of Gulka venom kept in emptied Gruzzer milk cartons over the Pharloomian border. It was later found that he had previously been charged for 218 counts of vehicular manslaughter and 67 of arson, but escaped justice. He broke out of prison by initiating a riot to distract the guards. That riot resulted in the deaths of several inmates. Menderbug repeatedly fixing the sign is a form of schizophrenia. In **Genocide Mode** (which was added in the Godslayer DLC released 31/01/2022), Menderbug's secret diary can be accessed upon killing him. Dream-Nailing this diary reveals the **Menderbash Memory**, where we can see Menderbug (Purple Guy) murdering Bob (Crying Child). After that, the following message appears: "Killed that freaky skeleton dude but then his ghost came out and tried to eat me. Silksong will release tomorrow."

Trial Creator

The Hollow Knight Trial Creator is an unrealized concept for a level editor based on the Colosseum of Fools in Hollow Knight. It would allow players to create their own challenges with waves of enemies.

## Features

* Custom trials are organized by waves. In the editor the user can switch between the different waves to edit them.

* In each wave, enemies and stage objects can be placed on a grid.

* Enemies can be set to spawn after a set number of kills in the wave. By default, this is set to 0, meaning they will spawn at the start of the wave.

* Enemies can also be set to spawn in succession/one after another. This number is also set to 0 by default.

* When playing a trial, each wave will spawn in order and go the next one when the knight has killed all enemies in the current wave. Between each wave there is a rest period where no enemies spawn and the objects in the arena transition to the next wave.

* The arena can be set to one of several themes, similar to same way that Godhome changes to suit the fight. Each theme has its own music and aesthetic design, and the arenas have some kind of “centerpiece” featured in the background.

## Enemies

See Enemies (Hollow Knight) on the Hollow Knight Wiki.

## Arena Objects

* Basic Platform

* Crystal platform

* Wire Platform

* Bouncy mushroom

* Sawblade

* Spikes (placed on platforms, floor, wall, or ceiling)

* Water (replaces floor)

* Acid (replaces floor)

* Track (causes objects placed on it to move)

* Walls and ceiling can be adjusted to change the size of the arena

## Themes

*More themes to be added in the future*

 Colosseum of fools
 City of tears
 The Hive
 Crystal Peak
 Grimm Troupe
Riddle

Riddles!

Riddle is a character that appears next to any major area in the game, Riddle has a magic staff that he uses to block off the passage, hence his name, if you answer his riddles, you get to pass, you only get two tries with each riddle.

## Appearance

A male, medium sized vessel with a red cloak.

## Powers and Abilities

### Barrier

Create an area where the player cannot enter.

## Backstory

A lonely vessel that wanted to tell riddles... his name isn’t actually riddle, nobody exactly knows what his real name is. The search for friends went on, and he forced other creatures to answer riddles if they wanted to continue through the area, eventually you come across him for the last time, that’s when he gets sad.
The Accursed Knight

Vanguard as an adult

## History

The Accursed Knight, otherwise known as Vanguard, was a Knight who joined Grimm's cult after seeing what the Pale King did to his other children. He later left the Grimm Troupe after the Vessel defeated Grimm, and eventually was corrupted by a darkness and need for vengeance for his fallen siblings.

## Personality

Vanguard was a very lighthearted and happy fellow, but when he learned what the Pale King did to his children, the Vessels, he grew cold and distant to everyone, including the Bees he loved so dearly as a child.

Above, Vanguard as a child with his Pet Hivelings
Soulstrike:Enemies

The enemies in soulstrike are both upgraded versions of the original as well as new ones.

Each enemy has a "nail boost" value that determines how much additional damage it takes when you upgrade your nail. The normal is 3, and your nail base dmg is 10, so an nemy with a nail boost value of 0 takes 10 damage with nail 0, 13 damage with 1 upgrade, 16 with 2 upgrades,etc. The formula is:

Challenges (Hollowfield)

In Hollowfield, challenges are the primary way of earning XP (which can be used to level up). They, as their name states, are optional challenges that the player can complete in turn for XP, special battle music, and more.

There are three different types of challenges. Permanent Challenges will stay in the game forever. Once completed, they cannot be done again. XP earned from them are given to the character that is currently in use when they are completed.

Daily Challenges will appear every day. A player can have a max of 5 daily challenges in queue. Once one is completed, a slot will open for another challenge to come tommorow.

Lastly, there are Character-Specific Challenges, which can only be done with a single character. They act as daily challenges, however, only ONE can be done a day.
Myths & History - Episode 18: Battle for the Continent

While the demise of Elmoreden worked to slow the fall of the Perios kingdom, nothing could stop the oncoming plagues from the Gracia regions to the south, nor the devastating cold that swept through from the north. Like Elmoreden before her, Perios disappeared into the dusty tomes of history.

After the fall of these once-great kingdoms, the land was embroiled in a horrific turmoil, and the dark times evoked memories of the aftermath of the Great Plague. The Human aristocracy fought amongst each other for supremacy and some even granted lands to non-humans in exchange for military might. The Orcs seized this opportunity and gaining a foothold, brought their strength to bear. Reorganizing their armies, the Orcs once again waged their campaign to dominate the continent. Their armies were mighty and they soon occupied the northern parts of Elmore, but fighting between the noble orcs and the lowly orcs weakened their power.

Amidst the conflicts, the Elves could do nothing but fight for their own lives in the endless battle against their Dark brethren. And the Dwarves were no match for the rampaging Orcish army and were easily pushed aside.

In this time, a dominant Human faction emerged, known as the Elmore kingdom. Their claim to be direct descendents of the Elmoreden emperor, whether truth or myth, was widely accepted, for they had the truth of strength and the truth of steel behind their words. The Elmore army clashed with the Orcish army over many terrific battles. The war waged on for many years, costing each side heavily. The armies were evenly matched, for although the Humans outnumbered their enemy, the sheer strength of the mighty Orcish army made for a formidable foe. In the end, however, badly defeated, the Orcs were again driven back to their own lands to bide their time and plot their vengeance. As for the Dwarves, what few remained were banished from the Human continent into the depths of the Spine Mountains.

With its now diminished military force, the Elmore army finally gained control of all the northern lands and marched south in the quest to reunite the continent under the Elmore flag. But unification of the divided continent was not to be. The Oren, the most powerful of the southern kingdoms, fended off the invading army with their strong magicians and well-trained soldiers, and the Elmore could not match the ferocity of an army out to defend its land.

The various southern kingdoms prospered under the protection of Oren and together began to take the form of a nation. These kingdoms maintained balance amongst themselves, and grew strong and prosperous.

Abandoned Town

The Abandoned Town is the starting area of the game. It is a small, quiet little town made by the Pale King while he was searching for the Pure Vessel. After the Pale King had completed this quest, he had left the town, offering it as an apology gift to all of the vessels he had killed during his search. The Shade had inhabited the town up until the events of *Hollow Knight*, in which Void Essence begins to leak everywhere in Hallownest, and most of the siblings had left to explore the kingdom. Those who stayed in the town had sought to defend itself when The Keeper attacked the town. Unfortunately, they had failed and had their minds corrupted by The Keeper. The stronger-minded siblings had either escaped or had been killed, leaving the town abandoned (hence the name).

## Rooms

The Abandoned Town is the starting area of the game, similar to Dirtmouth from the previous game. It features small, bone huts with inhabitants inside. There are four different huts in the town, as well as a small cave to the far left side of the town which leads up back into Ancient Basin.

The Hotel is where you will find Captain Voidheart and Lady Mischief. Voidheart had collected a few of the charms that had landed nearby, mistaking them for gold coins. He will offer the charms at the cost of Geo. He also serves as one of the primary fast travel methods in the game, taking you to various Docks located around the map with his ship, the Shapeshifter. Lady Mischief will sell Potions and is the main banking system of the game, similar to Millibelle from the previous game. There is also a bench near the entrance, on which the Captain can sometimes be seen sitting.

To the left of the hotel is The Emperor's home. The house itself, however, cannot be accessed until Abandoned Town is taken over by siblings, as the Shadow Whirlwind ability is not available until then. The spell is used to grant access to a secret room that will give you the key to the Emperor’s home, which will begin the boss battle with the Reverse Emperor.

To the right of the hotel is a small room with a single lore tablet. This is later revealed to be the temporary home of Hornet.

The last house is simply a background object and cannot be entered or interacted with in any way.
Aragi

Created via Picrew

**Aragi** is a bug that used to be nobility in the yet unnamed kingdom she originated from. However, after breaking the rules of her kingdom's strict caste system by falling in love with her servant, Teera, they were banished deep into the wastelands beyond. Out there, they stumbled across Tiny, and soon became like parents to the small vessel.

## Profile

### Appearance

Aragi has 2 wings, and wears a grey cloak with fluff around the neck, with a decorative piece resembling a mask holding it closed. Around her right eye, she has a marking, and she wears the mask of the first enemy she killed at a younger age as decoration on her head according to her kingdom's tradition.

### Personality

Aragi, despite circumstances, is rather cheery, able to happily talk about how she got in the situation she's in and how much her kingdom sucks. She also has a slightly sadistic streak, enjoying killing those that attack her or her unofficial family, and being the one to suggest using their corpses as their food source in the wastelands. She's somewhat motherly towards Tiny, though usually lets the Vessel lead the way.
Mask Wielder

Haunted Foes

**Mask Wielder** is both a quest npc and a secret boss.

## Lore

Mask Wielder is a researcher who specializes in masks. They came to Hallownest to research mask shards and their power. They provide surplus mask shards to others to see how they interact with them.

## In-Game Events

Mask Wielder is found in a room behind a breakable wall in Deepnest. Upon entering the room and seeing Mask Wielder, they immediately start talking to the Knight and asks them if they would like to take part in an experiment. If the Knight agrees to take part in the experiment, Mask Wielder gives them a mask shard and asks them to find more.

After returning with 7 Masks, Mask Wielder rewards them with a mask shard. After returning with 9 Masks, Mask Wielder rewards them with another mask shard. After returning with 11 Masks, Mask Wielder challenges the Knight to a battle, after which Mask Wielder perishes and drops a mask shard and the Surplus Masks charm.

## In-Battle

### Behavior

* **Jab**: Mask Wielder backs-up and, shortly afterwards, lunges towards the Knight.
* **Shard Throw**: When far enough away, Mask Wielder throws a mask shard at the Knight. If the shard misses the Knight, it gets stuck in the wall of the arena until it disappears.
* **Upward Poke**: If the Knight is directly above Mask Wielder, they wind up their fist and punches the Knight.
* **Shard Rain**: Mask Wielder throws 5 mask shards into the air with two of them landing to the left of them, two to the right, and one landing above them.
* **Parry**: If the Knight hits Mask Wielder's mask, they will stop whatever they are doing and lunge towards the Knight.
* **Back-up**: Mask Wielder walks backwards from the Knight.

The Knight cannot damage Mask Wielder by attacking their mask.

Wasp Mountain was a sidequest released for Hollow Knight: Silksong on October 1, 2022 to refresh the game. It has been hailed by critics as one of the hardest and best questlines in gaming history, citing the mountain's treacherous platforming, the unforgiving enemies, and the deadly, horrifying final boss. It was originally planned to be a DLC, but Team Cherry's Ari Gibson made it a sidequest 5 weeks before the launch.

## Gameplay

### Beginning the quest

To begin the quest, head over to the Lace boss arena in the Boondocks. You will see a strange-looking ladder right behind you. This ladder will not appear before you step into the arena (after beating Lace.) Head up the ladder. You will find a chest. Open it to reveal the loot: Seth's Tear. With Seth's Tear, jump into the arena's lava. Under the lava is a tramway. It requires no tram pass. Take the tramway to the Wasp Mountain.

### Subo Village

Subo Village is the first location you'll be greeted with. It contains four NPCs: Hoarder, Beartooth, Stinger, and Uba. Hoarder is a young bug who sells various wares. Beartooth is an old warrior who offers trials. Stinger is a cowardly bug who has no dialogue. Uba is the quest giver. He commands you to find the Mountain Nail.

### The Mountain Nail

Go upwards along the marked path. You'll see a sign that reads "Here be Death." You'll also see a pit. Jump into the pit, then fend off the Stingbeasts that emerge. To your right is a platforming section. Complete it. Then three Stingbeasts and one Sting Warrior spawn. The doors around the arena lock. Use the Daround the arena to outwit them. After that, go upwards to find a Bench. The upwards path splits into two paths. Along one of the paths is Cornifer's grave. Along the other is a deadly miniboss called the Sting Master. Beat him, and he'll drop the Mountain Nail. The ground splits open to send you straight back to Subo Village.

### The Dream World

Use the Mountain Nail on Uba to be transported into the Dream World. Quickly, the Wasp King spawns along an arena with five platforms. Beat him, and Uba will then reward you with the Death String, which increases your needle damage threefold.
Ultimate Nail

**The Ultimate Nail** is the most powerful nail in Hollow Knight: Shadownail. It is obtained after defeating Esmy's boss fight. After defeating him, he will bestow upon you the Ultimate Nail, which deals tremendous damage and gathers more SOUL.
It deals 40 damage, and gathers 5 more SOUL compared to a normal strike. (Applied before SOUL- boosting charms and spells.)
Hollow Knight: Splattered Ink

The game takes place right after Hollow Knight: The Red Glare. This game follows the Red Knight on his quest to learn the ink-wielding techniques of the kingdom of Slickwell. It is the second game of the series. The inhabitants of this area lure him in with a false kindness before locking him in the dungeons.

## Story

Upon escaping from Slickwell's dungeons, via a series destroyable walls and a defeating a few Inklings, Red meets a band of rebels. Their leader, InkVenom, a vessel-like creature called "Capsules", beings capable of holding mass amounts of Ink, steps forward. He states their purpose as a rebellion and bows low to Red, hearing of his feats in other kingdoms.
InkVenom leads Red to the Rebel's Camp, which consists of InkVenom's Hut, the Salesman's Tent, Barracks, and the Mapmaker's Tent. Red glimpses his archrival, Shatterer of Nails bowing to Red, and then disappearing.

## Areas

* Rebels' Camp
* Barren Wastes
* Inktrap
* City Dungeon
* Guards' Barracks
* Death's Peek
* Palace Grounds
* Abandoned City
* Well of Tears
* Shaman's Mound
* Mount of Masks

### Rebels' Camp

The Rebels' Camp is an area in Hollow Knight: Slickwell. It consists of three buildings and a training area (Barracks). The first of the buildings is the Salesman's Tent. At the start of the game, the Salesman is away from the shop. Upon defeating the first boss he will return. The Salesman (that's his name) sells a variety of different things, including the charms from the original Hollow Knight game and essential items when they are needed. The second building is the Mapmaker's Tent. The maps for each area can be pre-bought and are all available at the start of the game. The third and last building is InkVenom's Hut. Inside is InkVenom's Quarters where you will find him after a Boss Fight, and he will teach you to use one of your techniques with Ink.

### Barren Wastes

The Barren Wastes is the area that surrounds the Rebels' Camp. It is filled with Basic Creatures. The boss of this area is the Ink Breather. The Ink Breather attacks with an attack similar to Red's Ink Spray, though a bit different. It can only be dodged, as the Ink Nail is used for cutting and will not block projectiles, unlike Red' original Nail.

### InkTrap

InkTrap is a town in Slickwell. It is filled with hostile Warriors. It is home to the Ink Dancer, a highly trained Warrior. The Ink Dancer is capable of using the Mantis Claw ability and the Mothwing Cloak ability. It also can Double Jump. You will gain the Double Jump Ability from Inkvenom after defeating this boss.

## Gameplay

### Attack Usage

As Infection is not existent in this game, and your nail is confiscated, Red is taught by InkVenom how to use Ink to power his abilities and to wield Ink as a nail-like weapon. Each time you defeat a boss, InkVenom will teach you to power one of your abilities with Ink.
VoidHaven

Voidhaven Exists in a forgotten cavern underneath Greenpath, and holds the first instance of a Life Blood tree. Inside Voidhaven exists a settlement of three vessels, a wounded mantis, a stag beetle, and Quirrel.

### Voidhaven Description

"It's warm down here, almost... humid? The caverns are filled with a strange blue light, and many different types of flora grow here. (I can't even count how many fungi have grown to a monstrous size.) There are... dwellings nestled between the roots of some colossal tree, and it *glows!* The locals are quite friendly, if hard to speak to. (They don't talk very much, but they seem like nice fellows!) Although, they won't let me anywhere near the tree. Ah, if only i could sample one of it's branches..." -*Silvais's journal*

Silvais's entry on Voidhaven barely explains the beauty of the caverns. It appears to a strange mix of the Queens gardens, crystal peak, and the fungal wastes at the same time. The crystals are Light blue in color, and emit a pale light that Shades are drawn towards. It appears that the crystals only "Grow" along the walkways leading to the Life Blood tree, while the fungi grow anywhere light is not abundant.

The fungi of Voidhaven are anywhere from grey to electric blue, and closely resemble bar stools. While most of the fungi are barely larger than a geo piece, some have grown to be the size of four full grown Stag Beetles stacked on one another.

### Appearance

"A vessel with deer-like horns and a green cloak."

### Liet motif/BGM

"I can't stop trying Quisel, it's for the greater good."

"Why did it spare me? Why did it bring me to its home? Why is it *taking care of me*?! *It should have killed me when it had the chance.*.."*-Quisel's Dairy*

### The story so far...

Spirit and his siblings escaped the Abyss while one of the other Vessels was getting checked for true hollowness. Due to Spirit being abnormally fast, he was able to carry his siblings out of the White Palace and safely to the city of tears. They had planned to go to Deepnest, but Spirit couldn't cart them there, due to his horns being too large. They instead headed towards Greenpath, a calmer and safer area to dwell in.
