Reference coverage and sources

Decisions are limited to the four supplied tables. The progression guide and IGN spell page identify Hollow Knight, but the excerpts do not specify a game edition, DLC variant, or NG+ distinction; none is inferred.

Counts describe the imported source tables. They do not establish complete coverage of every patch, DLC or upgrade variant. Multiple values remain labeled as listed values when the source does not identify their upgrade levels.

Common mistakes to avoid

Nail upgrade details are limited

The supplied Nail passage supports up to four upgrades that add damage and require Geo and Pale Ore, but does not establish individual form names, costs, or statistics.

References & guide scope

Covers nine named abilities or traversal items and the Nail’s general upgrade track. IGN supports the ability effects and listed conditions; the Nail passage supports its general damage-increasing upgrade description and materials. Individual Nail forms, statistics, costs, and effects are not established by the supplied Nail excerpts.

  • The reference uses only the supplied evidence windows. IGN provides ability functions and listed conditions; the Nail passage provides its general upgrade description and materials.
  • The supplied Nail excerpts do not establish individual form names, tier-specific damage, costs, or distinct effects.
  • Comparative effectiveness and a complete progression route are not verified by these passages.
  • Steam metadata identifies the game and mentions free content packs; this reference does not independently verify edition-specific or DLC-specific mechanics.

Explanations prepared with GPT-6 Luna and checked against the linked references. These are source-reviewed guides. They do not establish independently tested optimal builds or exact upgrade budgets. How coverage works.
