Hollow Knight: How to Obtain the Hollownest Seal in the Fungal Wastes

Hollow Knight, a Metroidvania action-adventure game from Team Cherry, is the adventures of an unnamed warrior known as the Knight as they move through Hallownest. This kingdom is now in ruins due to a mysterious sickness.

The Knight can acquire additional items, abilities, spells, and charms as he progresses through Hallownest, aiding him in navigating the various sections and taking down foes.

The Hallownest Seal is one of these in-game items. According to in-game lore, these objects are the official emblems of the Pale King and the Five Great Knights.

The symbol is also incorporated into the Hallownest kingdom’s aesthetic. Hallownest Seals can be found in various locations around the entire Hallownest, and in this guide, you’ll learn where to find the Hallownest Seals in the Fungal Wastes!

There are two Hallownest Seals in the Fungal Wastes area:

Fungal Wastes Hallownest Seal 1

One of the Hallownest Seals in the Fungal Wastes can be found on top of a room in the northern middle part of Fungal Wastes.

The Knight will encounter a lot of different enemies in the Fungal Wastes. On the way to the first Hallownest Seal, the Knight will only encounter the following enemies: Fungoons, Funglings, and Sporgs.

The Knight must have the Mantis Claw ability, which allows the Knight to cling to walls and jump off of them, and the Mothwing Cloak ability, which allows the Knight to perform a horizontal dash, or the Monarch Wings ability, which allows the Knight to do a secondary jump in midair, to find the Hallownest Seal in the Fungal Wastes. These abilities will make getting the area’s first Hallownest Seal simpler.

To find the first Hallownest Seal in the Fungal Wastes, this is what the Knight must do:

1. Starting from the Bench in the Queen’s Station Stagway Station, head to the right to take the exit and leave the room, jump up the platforms in the middle of the room to get to the top, jump and dash or perform a secondary jump with the help of the Mothwing Cloak ability or the Monarch Wings ability towards the platform on the top right of the room, then continue heading to the right to exit the room.
2. The Knight is now in the Fungal Wastes area. Head to the right, jump across the gap with a pool of acid where the Knight will run into a Fungoon, jump across another gap with a pool of acid, continue to the right where the Knight will encounter two Funglings above a gap, jump towards the small platform on the right, then jump towards the platform above on the right.
3. Next, continue heading to the right, where the Knight will encounter another Fungoon, jump across a gap, head up the tall platform with the help of the Mantis Claw ability where the Knight will find another Fungling on the right, jump up the small platform above on the left, and jump up the opening above towards the platform on the right.
4. Then, head up the slightly elevated platform on the right, where the Knight will find a Sporg above that will fire out bombs that home in on the Knight; jump up the small platform above on the left, where the Knight will encounter another Sporg above, then jump up another small platform above on the right.
5. After that, jump up another small platform above on the right where the Knight will find another Sporg above on the right, jump up a slightly long platform above on the left where the Knight will encounter another Sporg above on the left, jump up the small platform above on the right, and jump up the small platform above on the left where the Knight will find another Sporg above.
6. Finally, jump towards the platform above on the right, and the Knight will find something glowing there. Inspect the glowing thing, and the Knight has now obtained a Hallownest Seal!

Fungal Wastes Hallownest Seal 2

The last Hallownest Seals in the Fungal Wastes area can be found on top of a room in the same room as the Bench near the Mantis Village in the southern part of Fungal Wastes.

The Knight encounters many enemies in the Fungal Wastes and the Mantis Village. However, the Knight will only encounter the following enemies on the way to the second Hallownest Seal: Mantis Youths and Matis Warriors.

Additionally, the Knight must first defeat the Mantis Lords to obtain the mentioned Hallownest Seal. It would also help, as the enemies in the Mantis Village will stop attacking the Knight once the Mantis Lords are defeated.

To find the second Hallownest Seal in the Fungal Wastes, the Knight must have the Mantis Claw ability, which allows the Knight to cling to walls and jump off of them, as well as the Mothwing Cloak ability, which allows the Knight to perform a horizontal dash, or the Monarch Wings ability, which allows the Knight to do a secondary jump in midair. These abilities will make obtaining the area’s first Hallownest Seal easier.

To find the second Hallownest Seal in the Fungal Wastes, this is what the Knight must do:

1. Starting from the arena of the Mantis Lords at the bottommost part of Mantis Village and the Fungal Wastes, head to the right, head up the wall with the help of the Mantis Claw ability; at the top of the wall, head to the platform on the left, and strike the switch above to open the path on the left.
2. Next, head to the left, where there will be a Mantis Youth above, jump towards the platform below on the left, head up the wall on the left with the help of the Mantis Claw ability, jump and dash, or perform a secondary dash with the help of the Mothwing Cloak ability or the Monarch Wings ability towards the wall on the right, head up the wall also with the help of the Mantis Claw ability, and, at the top, jump up the elevated platform above on the right.
3. Then, drop down the gap on the right where the Knight will encounter a Mantis Youth and a Mantis Warrior, head to the right, head up the wall on the right with the help of the Mantis Claw ability, then, at the top of the shaft, take the exit on the right.
4. After that, head to the right, jump up the platform on the next path that leads upward, where the Knight will find a Mantis Warrior, and head up the shaft with the help of the Mantis Claw ability while evading the spikes on the wall on the right then on the wall on the left.
5. Finally, head to the right at the top, where the Knight will find a chest. Strike the chest, and something glowing will fall out. Inspect the glowing thing; the Knight has now obtained another Hallownest Seal!

It is worth noting that the Knight can find the Mark of Pride Charm also inside a chest just below the platform with the Hallownest Seal..

After getting the Hallownest Seals, the Knight can travel to the west of the Hollow Knight statue in the City of Tears to meet Relic Seeker Lemm and sell the Hallownest Seals to him for 450 Geo apiece.
