Additionally, go to the Queen's Gardens and obtain the White Crest Fragment. You need a total of 1800 essence to fully awaken the Dream Nail. Additional essence can be gained from the various nonhostile spirits and the Dream Trees scattered around the map. The other possible ending involving Hornet: Dream No More - To get this ending, obtain a fully awakened Dream Nail by defeating the various spirit bosses, the Champion versions of False Knight ( Failed Champion), Soul Master (Soul Tyrant), and Broken Vessel ( Lost Kin).

In this ending, you take the Hollow Knight's place, but because Hornet is sealed with you and can never escape. Beat the Hollow Knight to get this ending. Hornet will eventually get knocked out and pass out and the fight continues. When Hornet interrupts, don't strike the Hollow Knight with your Dream Nail, but continue your attacks. To get this ending, obtain the Void Heart and enter the Black Egg. One of two possible endings involving Hornet: Sealed Siblings - A semi-hidden ending.

She wanders around its ruins, rashly and with much unneeded hostility chasing off all travelers and outsiders whom she automatically assumes are trying to desecrate the place (despite most of them being harmless). Hornet was raised in the Deepnest, and survived the fall and the Infection of the kingdom. Hornet primarily acts as an anti-hero, and her involvement unlocks 2 possible endings in Hollow Knight. In addition, Hornet wears a red dress-like cloak and wields a needle and silk as her weapon. Hornet is an arachnid warrior who wears a curved mask shaped vaguely like a boomerang, with two dark eye-holes near the bottom.
