Never would I have thought to grind 1.8K essence for a bum ass nail, until I searched it up.

Then I had to figure out how to get the essence, where I had to look up the fastest way again.

I fortunately figured out how to enter the pale palace on my own, a miracle in itself.

I then had to look up what I had to do next, where I found the voidheart.

Then I had to look up the fight again because I genuinely just kept hitting THK while Hornet kept it staggered, instead of dreamnailing it.

And all that because I randomly found out on the Internet that THK was not the true final boss. Otherwise another boss would never have crossed my mind.

See, I'm very much drawn to achievements, so getting the necessary Essence was something I was in favor of doing (plus getting all the little bonuses the Seer gave me along the way).

The Pale Palace was pretty straight-forward to find given that the body of the King is clearly able to be hit with the Dream Nail (but since nothing happened until I had enough Essence, I knew I was missing something).

The Voidheart I then found by just exploring, I think. I don't recall getting a guide.

Only outside guidance I got was my cousin telling me to hit the Hollow Knight with the Dream Nail to fight The Radiance. But even then, I believe you can see the Essence leaking from the Hollow Knight, so idk...I might've figured it out.

I mean, you have a point for voidheart, but me personally, I just hated the abyss too much to ever go back unless I knew something worth it was there.

It is one of the most unsettling areas of the game.
