Exploring is a top priority in any Metroidvania game, and the classic that revived this genre, Hollow Knight, is absolutely not an exception. Hollownest consists of various locations that you can discover, but hitting a roadblock without proper abilities is inevitable.
One of the important abilities to explore the forgotten corners of Hollownest is the Monarch Wings, which allows the Knight to double jump and reach higher points to continue their exploration. Wondering how and from where you can get the double jump ability? This guide will help you.
Where are the Monarch Wings in Hollow Knight
Before you can get your hands on Monarch Wings (double jump) in Hollow Knight, you must have the Crystal Heart, which can be acquired from Crystal Peak. If you’re unfamiliar, Crystal Heart is the Super Dash ability that allows the Knight to cross long distances in a matter of seconds.
After receiving Crystal Heart, head to the bottom left area of Ancient Basin near an unlockable bench. To the left, use Crystal Heart to dash and grab the ledge. Keep heading left, and you will find the Broken Vessel Boss at the dead end.
Defeat Broken Vessel, and you will find the Monarch Wings above the next room’s statue.
How to Use Double Jump in Hollow Knight
After retrieving the Monarch Wings, the Knight can now double jump. To use the wings, double-press the jump button (A/X) depending on your platform.
To maximise your jump height, hold the jump button; the longer you hold it, the higher you will jump. When the Knight begins to fall, immediately press the Jump button again to capitalise the time window.
