Hollow Knight · Traversal item
Isma’s Tear
Isma’s Tear protects the Knight from damage while swimming through acid, enabling traversal into areas otherwise closed by acidic pools.
How it works
IGN says the item is optional for completing the game and describes protection from acidic pools, which can also enable access to secret areas. Its listed location is Isma’s Grove in Royal Waterways. The source gives defeating Dung Defender and having Crystal Heart as requirements.
