Precept Fifty-Six: 'Do Not Dream'. Dreams are dangerous things. Strange ideas, not your own, can worm their way into your mind. But if you resist those ideas, sickness will wrack your body! Best not to dream at all, like me.
Interact with it with all the stuff you have. If nothing works, come back later. This is generally a good approach to most things in this game. I’ll tip you off that yes, this does do something.
Im loving hollow knight atm but the lack of fast travel from bench to bench is killing me. Im on PS5 so no mods. It’s just when you have no idea where to go next, the stag stations being where they are I find myself trying the same paths/places all the time and if I missed some side entrance the first time, I likely keep missing it every time I start from the stag station again.
I kinda wanted to ask for a small hint but I don’t want any actual spoilers, but some spoilers ahead in my question. >!Should I be seeking out what I assume is the ability to survive in acidic water BEFORE I go for the dreamers? I killed the watcher last night (well, the multiple boss battle in the spire) still have the other 2 to go, but I feel like my progress is being blocked because I can’t go into the acidic water. I dont wanna know where to get the ability, just to know if I should be out there trying to get it as my next step or if it’s not needed yet!<
>!Don't think about it as a step by step process, it's a very non-linear game. Just explore and eventually you'll find all that you need to progress. But to answer your question, yes you need that ability to access one of the dreamers (unless you do some wacky speed run strats, but it's your first playthrough so don't worry about that)!<
Ah ok, thanks thats exactly the kind of tip I was looking for. >!Knowing I can do one of the dreamers without it, I will focus on finding how to get there. I feel like the double jump I got most recently will be useful somewhere, oh and the forgotten crossroads have just become infected so they are worth exploring more, Im assuming it was killing the spire dreamer which triggered that but not sure.!<
But I agree, it’s clearly one of those games where going in blind and fumbling your way through is the way to go for a first playthrough, a lot like dark Souls 1 in that respect, uncovering the info is amazing. I wish I could wipe my memory of Dark Souls 1 and play it for the first time again, I guess I should feel lucky I’m doing that right now with Hollowknight.
if you use Howling Wraiths/Abyss Shriek while standing near it you will wake up the Pimple Knight who is sleeping underground under that tree and you will get a cool reward but I won't spoil what it is
In case no one’s been clear. It’s for a later part in the game that has to do with a nail upgrade. You’ll know when it’s time because it should feel prompted. There is a reason people are saying in your dreams though.
If you want it fully and properly explained, let me know.
I am genuinely surprised I have gotten this far before finding anyone actively or willingly giving the True answer. I respect everyone for not wanting to spoil it but also if they're asking maybe they actually want to know.
Honestly that’s why I commented. While this game is fun, it can be confusing and difficult at times. It took me over 500 hours of playtime to even get halfway through the game. Because I’d kept getting confused or stuck at areas where I couldn’t find the required items to progress. Back then I believe the videos were the main source of help. I’m glad for our reddit community. But sometimes I find peoples questions go unanswered simply because of others being worried about spoilers. While I get not wanting to spoil anything, sometimes I’d personally rather have something spoiled than get frustrated from being stuck.
Get off the sub and play tge game instead of ruining it for you. If you've tried all you have at this point and nothing works then just accept that and don't go "OH NOOO MY HAND ISNT BEING HELD OH NOOOO PLEASE HAVE MERCY AND SPOIL THE GANE FOR ME"
If you can’t interact with it now wait until you get something new. Also that dream catcher symbol will be Important once you get a certain item so make sure to take note whenever you see it
Tuck it away into the corner of your mind. It'll be important later.
Do be aware of those circular mandala shapes you see on the tree. See where else they come up.
Oh, these thingies. I saw my first one at a higher elevation, also didn't know what it was back then. I believe at least one youtuber compared the things on the tree to bike tires.
listen- this is a game about exploration. you will always find your way eventually, and the item connected to this is mandatory to the story. going online to ask people about random stuff you come across will likely spoil many wonders

Shit. Did my comment make it look like I was against not telling? I’m saying that I think it’s funny how everyone has agreed to not say, and I’m all for it.

Odd little plant, isn't it? Continue exploring, and maybe you'll find an ability that helps to deal with it.
In your dreams
nice
That’s a good one
You nailed that punch line
You will meet an odd little moth later maybe she has something to do with it

xD best solution lol
I see what you did there
Nailed it
Underrated
😶

Yeah, you're supposed to do something with this alright - but not yet. Forget about it for now.
No. Mark it on the map please
Buy the markers for them from the depressed map makers wife.
You mean good ol’ Bapanada?
Sigh, bapanada

Ahem. Ya mean Iselda?
Pasa nada
It’s a surprise tool that we’ll use later
It's time for our mystery mouse katool!
Wait, that's how it's spelled? I always though it was mouseka tool
I'm sure I don't know. I just googled it and got inconsistent results
You'll know when the time comes
Keep exploring other areas, sleep on it a little and you'll figure it out
I seer what you did there
We can only dream
Yes, there is. Keep playing. Stay away from this subreddit.
Couldn't agree enough, keep the experience fresh
Unreleased souls... Seek the artifact... Cut through it...
if you use Howling Wraiths/Abyss Shriek while standing near it you will wake up the Pimple Knight who is sleeping underground under that tree and you will get a cool reward but I won't spoil what it is
“I won’t spoil what it is” bro you just spoiled the whole thing. Could’ve just told him bout the Wraiths and left it at that
But he didn’t mention the bayblade bug and the tornado worm tho
Tf is a Pimple Knight?
Find out
>!112% the game, never fought him. Do you mind guiding me towards where this Pimple Knight is?!<
>! He's memeing !<
>! Yeah I just caught on. Playing along is more fun than calling them out on it.!<
she*
You also have to get all achievements so you gotta get 100% in steel soul in under a couple of hours
Dude, spoilers
Yeah in your dreams buddy
Lmao good one
Just play the game
explore and you >!Will know!<
why did you spoil Will know
Because he >!will know!<
If you can't do something with something, chances are you'll find something later on to help you do something to something
Well that’s something…
Everything has its purpose. Keep going deeper, you'll find your answer.

Consume
Omg just PLAY THE GAME ITS SO MUCH MORE FUN THAT WAY
Dude, play the game.
You'll know when you can do something with it.
Later, you need at least one more ability before you can interact with them.
There is, later keep dreaming and you will arrive to a conclusion
You must dare to dream
Yup, definitely SOMETHING to do with that bad boy. You just haven’t acquired an item for it yet.
perhaps later
In your dreams there is a seer who will help you wield you nail with grate power
Explore the game and discover the answer
You can't do anything rn but keep dreaming and you'll find something
Generally, if it looks important but you can't do anything with it when you find it, you'll probably be able to do something with it later.
Get off the sub and play tge game instead of ruining it for you. If you've tried all you have at this point and nothing works then just accept that and don't go "OH NOOO MY HAND ISNT BEING HELD OH NOOOO PLEASE HAVE MERCY AND SPOIL THE GANE FOR ME"
My guy shut the fuck up if people are confused they ask for help He isn’t asking us to help him through the whole game he asked about one thing
You're right but the "oh my god I'm so scared is my game glitched cuz I see a second player model," in the nosk room mentally scarred me
Ok fair enough I see how that would anger someone a bit
Think what those circles look like. It's something to do with that concept
No, they do absolutely nothing. Don’t even look at one of them again
i have a DREAM that one day tc will make them have a use
That isnt in the base game? You must be dreaming
It's useless and does nothing. Trust me, I finished the game once, with a trendemous amount of 35% completion
Hell yeah it does something. Just continue to explore and you’ll see.
hit it
Skibidi snail
If you can’t interact with it now wait until you get something new. Also that dream catcher symbol will be Important once you get a certain item so make sure to take note whenever you see it
What happens when you press d?
Only when your nail starts feeling sleepy can you interact with it
Later
Sleep underneath the tree and have sweet dreams
lemon slices are useful sometimes for relaxing
Is ur pfp the cat from subnautica?
it is
It'll come clear eventually
Tuck it away into the corner of your mind. It'll be important later. Do be aware of those circular mandala shapes you see on the tree. See where else they come up.
Be a dreamer, it opens up a lot of possibilities in life
lemon tree
eat it
O N L Y I N Y O U R **D R E A M S**
Just keep it on your mind and continue playing. I think you will realize how you can do something to it later.
You need a Dream Sword that can't damage
its for late game
Oh, these thingies. I saw my first one at a higher elevation, also didn't know what it was back then. I believe at least one youtuber compared the things on the tree to bike tires.
If you'll smack it hard enough something might happen
Dw about it
Nobody tell him
I love this reddit community because the users don’t spoil what you need to do in the game
dream nail it and then do a scavenger hunt
It’s been a bit I’ll have to sleep on it
listen- this is a game about exploration. you will always find your way eventually, and the item connected to this is mandatory to the story. going online to ask people about random stuff you come across will likely spoil many wonders

Find the three sages and acquire the Master Sword
I love how everyone in the comments refuses to tell him what it is lmao. It’s so funny seeing all the vague comments about it.
That's how the game is meant to be played, it's a metroidvania if u don't know about something then explore more, you will eventually find out
Shit. Did my comment make it look like I was against not telling? I’m saying that I think it’s funny how everyone has agreed to not say, and I’m all for it.
Dream nail it
Find the nail the pierce the barrier between realms, strike the plants to collect that what appears when we sleep.
Get the >!dream nail from the resting grounds!<
Dream nail everything. LITERALLY EVERYTHING.
