Beating Hollow Knight in 2026 — Episode 6: The Infection Spreads

Episode 6 of our no-commentary journey through Hollow Knight in 2026. We head to Howling Cliffs to awaken the Grimm Troupe, learn new Nail Arts from Nailmasters Mato and Sheo, and send Gorb and No Eyes off to the great beyond. We also open the path to the Queen's Gardens, pick up the Love Key, collect some new charms and notches, and gain another Soul Vessel. But while we're busy exploring, the Infection spreads. The Forgotten Crossroads is changing, and Hallownest is getting a whole lot more orange. Next up: The Collector — and a whole lot of grubs to rescue. No speedrun. No challenge run. No 112% completion goal. Just Hollow Knight, one episode at a time. Welcome back to Hallownest. #hollowknight #hollowknightplaythrough #teamcherry Beating Hollow Knight in 2026 All Episodes:    • Hollow Knight in 2026   Chapters: 0:00 Arise 2:40 Howling Cliffs and Nailmaster Mato 5:00 Gorb 9:30 Joni's Blessing 14:55 Awaken Grimm's Troupe 20:10 Journey to Nailmaster Mato 24:50 Thorns of Agony 29:30 No Eyes Mask Shard 36:50 Vessel Fragment 39:25 Queen's Gardens 42:00 Howling Wraiths 45:55 Queen's Gardens Map 49:50 Love Key Location 59:05 Leg Eater Fragile Charms 1:05:20 Grub Daddy, Extra Soul Vessel and Charm Notch
