Hallownest was certainly hit by a dreadful disaster, and sometimes here and there horrific sides of it still rear their ugly heads. To reach it just look out for a breakable floor near a Soul Totem to smash through. On the other hand, The White Lady's Room is found right below the Throne Room. There's another route involving buzzsaws hidden in clouds, but it's needlessly difficult. You must then maneuver around some thorns and nail pogo off a Wingmould to reach it. To find the Pale King's Workshop, drop down from a ledge on the right-side part of the map that you reach after using the Crystal Heart ability. Then these secret rooms are all found in the Palace's upper parts. To access these, you must first enter The White Palace by dream-nailing the corpse of a Kingsmould in the Palace Grounds. The former is where the Pale King formed void into serviceable creatures, while the latter is theorized to be a vessel nursery room, where The White Lady once resided. Most infamously it contains The Path of Pain, the trickiest platforming that Hollow Knight has to offer, which itself is hidden behind a breakable wall.īut there is more to be found here beyond it, including the Pale King's Workshop and the White Lady's Room. The White Palace houses some of Hollow Knight's most revealing lore rooms and more than its fair share of secrets. Look out for the tattered curtains dangling from the ceiling and wall-jump towards them to find the mask room hidden above. Walk then past two arches and you'll be in the right spot. After entering the main tent, you must then make your way beyond the arena. To find this room, first, make sure you've summoned the Grimm Troupe and then visit their tents in Dirtmouth. If you use a spell while in this room a protective seal glares up, suggesting that this is a device of great importance, perhaps used to teleport the tents from ritual to ritual. There are also some chests here as well as a mysterious contraption. In fact, it's implied that they were puppets all along, adding to the whole creepy carnival aesthetic of the troupe. The first thing you'll notice are the masks of the audience who were watching your fights against Troupe Master Grimm, suggesting that all was not as it seemed. Finding this area makes you feel like you've stumbled upon an eerie place unintended for prying eyes.

If you decide to do the Grimm Troupe DLC, there's a room that is devilishly hidden inside the sinister tents that pop up on the outskirts of Dirtmouth (much to Elderbug's displeasure).
