Hallownest Quiz – Hollow Knight's Ruined Bug Kingdom

Hollow Knight, released by Australian studio Team Cherry in 2017, takes place in Hallownest, a ruined kingdom of insects. Players enter through Dirtmouth, a nearly empty town on the surface.

Below lie areas such as the Forgotten Crossroads, mossy Greenpath, the rain-soaked City of Tears and spider-filled Deepnest. Cornifer sells maps while humming, and stag stations let the Knight travel fast.

The kingdom was once ruled by the Pale King, until an infection spread by the Radiance drove bugs mad. Hornet guards the way, and her own story continued in Silksong. Players piece the history together from tablets, dreams and conversations.
