EnglishWhat is Hallownest.net?
Updated
Hallownest.net is a fan-made interactive map of Hollow Knight, assembled from hundreds of thousands of screenshots and refined through manual draw-over and correction work. It is designed to be very high resolution and zoomable down to a gameplay-level view, so you can inspect individual rooms and areas in detail. According to the site, the project was started in August 2017 and finished in February 2023.
What the site offers
- An interactive Hollow Knight map — the core feature, presented as a detailed, zoomable map of Hallownest.
- Gameplay-level zoom — the map is described as zoomable to a gameplay view, meaning you can get close enough to see room-level detail rather than just a broad overview.
- High-resolution detail — the map was built from a very large number of screenshots, with draw-over and correction applied to produce a detailed result.
How it was made
The creator states the map was assembled from hundreds of thousands of screenshots, involving "a lot of draw-over and correction." The mapping process ran from August 2017 to February 2023. Timelapse videos of that process are uploaded to the creator's YouTube channel, alongside Hollow Knight ambience videos and occasional non-Hollow Knight content.

When it's useful
Use Hallownest.net if you want a detailed, zoomable reference map of Hollow Knight — for example, to check room layouts, navigate an area, or study the map's construction through the creator's timelapse videos. If you only need a quick overview rather than gameplay-level detail, the high resolution and zoom range may be more than you need, but it does not take away from the map's usefulness as a reference.
