This video made me sad, because the White Palace (and Path of Pain) is my favorite area in the game and I don't have any save files that I haven't done it on :')) A few extra tips: - For the platforms around 13:40, I always go under them, avoiding the retracting spears entirely up until the one that allows you to skip. - Deep Focus is a great charm, especially combined with Grubsong. - If you run out of Soul and a Wingmould is nearby, you can hit it over and over to get the Soul you need. You can also kill Royal Retainers for it, but it's much better to Dream Nail them instead. - With the spears at 14:10, you don't have to get on the wall. You can just double jump from the ground and pogo on them that way. - At 14:50, it's tight, but you can jump between two of the buzzsaws to get on one of the smaller platforms. - You can also pogo off of the spikes at 15:30 to skip a small portion of that part. - There's a breakable wall right below you at 15:50 that allows you to skip that part. - At 17:40, you can jump up and pogo through a narrow gap between the saws and the wall. - At 21:00 there's a breakable wall off to the right. It's just a bit of lore, but interesting to see. EDIT: And if anyone asks, no, I had not played Super Meat Boy when I did the White Palace for the first time. I have played it now, but I still like the platforming in Hollow Knight more :)

CORRUPTION 5 Make sure you have every possible health upgrade you can get before doing this.Also this may not help everyone,but when I redid path of pain,I muted the game,and put music over it, it helped me have complete focus.If you tried everything you could,get the hiveblood charm in the hive near kingdoms edge,it gives you pretty much infinite tries.

You missed a secret path. For the spikes at 15:56, there's a breakable wall underneath that is just a short cut. (You can see that the curve is cracked right under the spikes. All other corners in the palace are pristine. I found this shortcut myself a few days ago. It's just a hall)

Tip: If you use the Deep Focus and Grubsong charms, you'll be able to get infinite health due to the fact that Grubsong gives you one focus worth of soul every 2 damage, and Deep Focus allows you to heal 2 damage with one focus. I know this is late, but I hope it helps someone.

I believe the room was a nursery room that was never used. THK was never considered a child and Hornet stayed a good amount of time in Deepnest, most likely only raised in White Palace during her childhood, since the Midwife commented on her not coming back to Deepnest as a current situation implying she was raised there. The room has a sense of loneliness and sorrow to it, which makes me think Pale King remembers the room as the where White Lady sat alone without the child she wished to have

[@jaynukem1929]

At 18:18 where you do the Crystal Heart Super Dash, I myself actually went up through that first visible upward gap. If I knew I was suppose to Crystal Heart Super Dash at that spot, I totally would've. The positioning of making that jump through that first visible upward gap was very tight. So much so, that it made me question whether the game developers actually intended the player to traverse through that first visible upward gap. That's what brought me to watch someone's walkthrough to see whether I had done a minor sequence break.

[@TetsuyaRiser138]

19:50 For those wondering why it's believed to be Hornet's room, the reason why it's speculated to be Hornet's room is because that's a cradle not a chair and the light hanging over is a akin to the toys/lights that hang above a cradle in certain settings. As for the song, doesn't it sound like a soft lullaby played on a triangle for a baby? ;)

[@juniperyates83]

I always thought the hollow knight was raised there, but you do have a point. Unless the hollow knight slept in such a small cradle (which he shouldn't because he is the same age as our little playable knight at the time it left the abyss, and both of them can walk and understand well enough, so a cradle would be unnecessary) it really makes me wonder if hornet WAS actually raised in the white palace, and not in Deepnest like everyone else seems to think. However, I find it confusing that a music box version of the shade theme plays, as if implying a child of void was raised there, but maybe it was just a red hearing or composition choice. But also, Hornet didn't get to see her mom a lot as a kid, even though she doesn't regret Hera being her mother. Just food for thought.

[@izthistle6196]

I’m more inclined to think that the room was never used. Hornet was raised in Deepnest, it’s not specified how long but it was long enough that Midwife would comment on her not coming back to Deepnest as a current situation and wishing she would visit, so she’s probably raised in Deepnest past her infancy. The room as a reflection of grief and longing seems more fitting with the overall theme of the area and of the story

[@gustavo33413]

I agree with Iz, Hornet was not the White Lady daughter, she was raised in Deepnest (there's an npc at the bottom of the huge room in that place who states that).

I know this is an old vid but I wanted to leave some small tips for people like me who can't down pogo to save their lives. - Platforms around 13:40 with the spears, you can jump slightly to the side, dash through when the spears are down and stick on to the other side. - Around 18:07, you can do a double jump towards the wall as the buzzsaw starts its descent to the bottom. As soon as you hit the wall, you can then do a double jump and dash to the other wall before continuing as shown Thanks for the guide. Helped me maintain my sanity through the white palace.

[@RelyeaGaming]

Appreciate the tips

[@megabigblur]

Thanks, I can't down pogo to save my life either. I think the part in Ancient Basin where you have to pogo off Garpedes to reach a vessel fragment took me well over 30 tries.

I don't like this place. I spent a whole day going through this madness. If I wanted to play a crazy platform, I would've just played Super Meat Boy. My goodness, I didn't have fun in this area and was so relieved when it was over. Quite useful guide btw. A bit too late for me btw... I already suffered this hell. But I might keep this in mind when I decide to replay the game.

I’m currently doing the white palace, (anything for that second half-) and lemme tell you: Hiveblood absolutely saves your life, and pairs extremely well with Deep focus and Grubsong. Be patient, and let at least one heart heal before continuing, then only heal when *two* are gone. Saves soul, and multiple restarts!

At 18:10 I saw a video on Gamer Walkthroughs where he basically waits till the saw goes down, wall jumps above it, and mothwings to the far wall. Found this WAY easier than nail pogo. Also as someone below mentions, Grubsong and Deep focus are lifesavers, because you have infinite heals with those.

[@HajimeAru]

13:50 - 14:19 There's an easier way to do this part. You need to wait for the spikes on the platform you were on at 13:45 to go down, quickly jump on that platform then jump off before the spikes come back up, then double jump and dash (and maybe wall jump) onto the higher platform.

[@swastidsharma4280]
