What is the Void Heart Charm?

In Hollow Knight, the Void Heart is a Charm that can be equipped. This Charm can cause certain enemies to become passive, such as Siblings, Void Tendrils, and the Shade. Because it plays a massive role in unlocking another ending for the game, it's recommended to complete the first playthrough normally before obtaining. The Void Heart Charm is different from the Voidheart Edition, which is Hollow Knight's release for the PS4 and Xbox One.

How to Get the Void Heart Charm

Awaken the Dream Nail. You must have 1800 Essence to do so. This will upgrade the Dream Nail into the Awoken Dream Nail.

Obtain the Kingsoul Charm. This Charm is obtained after getting both White Fragments from the White Lady in the Queen's Garden and the Pale King from the White Palace. When these fragments are obtained, it will automatically create the Kingsoul Charm. It's recommended to defeat the Hollow Knight normally to get the first ending of the game before you proceed.

Go to the newly unlocked area in the Abyss. The Abyss is located in the lowest part of Hallownest, below Ancient Basin. A new area will be unlocked called the Birthplace.

Travel through the maze. Be sure to avoid any enemies and environmental danger. At the end of the maze, there will be an egg.

Strike the egg with the Awoken Dream Nail. A memory will be revealed, and the Kingsoul Charm will change into the Void Heart.

What is the Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition?

The Voidheart Edition is Hollow Knight's release for PS4 and Xbox One. Though the name may indicate a special addition, it is simply a release of the original Hollow Knight game for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles. It contains all available DLC content and changes already available for PC and Nintendo Switch users. There's also a different Voidheart menu style, though this is used by default on all platforms.
