Charm Notches in Hollow Knight are crucial parts of the protagonist’s build. These notches enable the use of different Charms and so are limited in number. At the start of the game, the Knight starts with only 3 Notches, which means that you can equip some low Notch requirement charms like the Wayward Compass and Gathering Swarm. While some of the Charm Notches can be found through a merchant, others will need to be discovered by exploring the map, its secret areas, and defeating bosses.

  • A notch can be found inside the Fog Canyon hidden area. You will need to own Isma’s Tear to get to this location.
  • One notch can be found in Fungal Wastes. Two Ogres guard the location and the notch itself.
  • Completing the Trial of the Warrior in the Colosseum of Fools will reward you with another notch.
  • Defeat the Troupe Master Grimm boss to secure another notch. It is not a reward for the adventure, so you will need to search for it inside the boss’s tent at the location. The notch only spawns after the enemy has been defeated first.

Charms and Charm Notches are the building blocks of the Knight’s build and can help you create some unique loadouts. You can try arranging the charms in different ways for every area, and even try completing a charm-less run. You can also utilize the Overcharmed state for the Knight, which requires you to equip more charms than the notches. During this state, you would take double the incoming damage. It is a risky move and most beneficial when fighting in the Hall of Gods.
