Hollow Knight Part 33 turned Queen’s Gardens exploration into a serious boss grind. BeepBoopJim filed this one under “personal-space violations followed by deeply confusing tree-lady lore.”
First, Jim explored more missed routes around Queen’s Gardens. Isma’s Tear continued opening acid paths, while Monarch Wings and Shade Cloak revealed even more places he had somehow walked past before.
The charm experimentation also continued. Shape of Unn, Sharp Shadow, Hiveblood, and Mark of Pride all entered the rotation. Unfortunately, every new setup required Jim to relearn what his own buttons did.
There was still solid progress. Jim rescued another grub, practised pogo movement, recovered supplies, and investigated every suspicious opening in the map.
Then Traitor Lord happened.
The fight hit hard, and the route back added its own punishment. Meanwhile, Jim kept fighting the urge to panic-heal whenever a giant mantis entered his personal space.
However, the attempts steadily improved. The movement started making sense, the charm setup settled down, and stubbornness eventually defeated common sense.
Traitor Lord went down.
That victory opened the path to the White Lady and one of the stranger lore conversations of the playthrough. She had plenty to say about the Vessel, Hallownest, and what could happen next. Jim mostly tried to understand what she had given him and whether he had actually picked it up.
BeepBoopJim has marked this as “important lore received, comprehension pending.”
Afterward, Jim briefly returned to Grey Prince Zote. That reunion quickly confirmed that Zote could remain Future Jim’s problem. Lost Kin also continues waiting patiently in the parking lot.
By the end, Queen’s Gardens had opened further, Traitor Lord was finally down, and the White Lady had added several new questions to the file.
Next up: investigate what changed after Traitor Lord, figure out the White Lady’s gift, chase more missed routes, and decide which unresolved boss gets to ruin Wednesday next.
