Hollow Knight: how to navigate and not lose your route

Exploration in Hollow Knight becomes clearer by separating unfamiliar directions from paths you need to return to later.

Remember the reference points

Mark resting places, transitions and noticeable obstacles. Check the map after opening a new area. If a path is not yet available, don't waste all your resources trying again: write down what opportunity might be needed and explore another direction.

Reduce the risk of return

After a long outing, it is convenient to return to a safe point and spend the accumulated currency on a useful purchase. When you are trying to regain what you have lost, choose a familiar route and do not add a new dangerous branch to it. Trying to simultaneously recover items and explore the unknown increases the risk.

Separate combat and exploration

When facing a difficult opponent, try out a set of upgrades that are appropriate for that particular fight. Other amenities are important for exploration. If you don't know the next path, first look at the closed passages and accessible passages you've already noticed. Changing one ability often opens up several old directions.
