WORLD SENSE RULES
Hollow Knight's maximum in-game completion is 112%. Different objectives contribute different amounts: most count for 1%, while major movement abilities count for 2%. Not every collectible counts directly toward 112%, so this tracker separates completion requirements from optional collection goals.
Grubs and Pale Ore are the usual mix-up. Saving a grub does not add a point. All 46 grubs unlock Grubberfly's Elegy, which does. Pale Ore is spent on Nail upgrades; the upgrade scores, not the ore. Mask Shards and Vessel Fragments work the same way: four shards make one mask point, three fragments make one vessel point.
Godhome's first four Pantheons are in the 112% total. Pantheon of Hallownest is not. Reaching 112% also does not mean every Steam achievement is done—some need other modes, journal work, or a different ending.
112% is the in-game World Sense total with all free content packs. It is 105 scoring objectives, not 112 checkboxes.
| Category | Targets | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Charms (base game) | 36 | 36% |
| Bosses | 14 | 14% |
| Equipment / Abilities | 7 | 14% |
| Warrior Dreams | 7 | 7% |
| Spells | 6 | 6% |
| Nail Upgrades | 4 | 4% |
| Mask Upgrades | 4 | 4% |
| Nail Arts | 3 | 3% |
| Vessel Upgrades | 3 | 3% |
| Dream Nail Milestones | 3 | 3% |
| Dreamers | 3 | 3% |
| Colosseum Trials | 3 | 3% |
| The Grimm Troupe | 6 | 6% |
| Lifeblood | 1 | 1% |
| Godmaster | 5 | 5% |
| Total | 105 | 112% |
OUTSIDE THE METER
This page focuses on the 112% total, not every encounter in Hallownest. Many bosses never add a percentage point: Crystal Guardian, God Tamer, Grey Prince Zote, the dream bosses, and the Hollow Knight itself among them. Use the Hollow Knight Boss Checklist for those encounters too.
Grubs, Hunter's Journal, and charm loadouts are also outside the meter. Pale Ore locations are included because they are needed for Nail upgrades. Use the Hollow Knight Charms Checklist for the 40-slot inventory, locations, and replacement forms.
PROGRESS TRACKER BASICS
Use this Hollow Knight 112% checklist to mark completed requirements, find what is left, and back up your browser save.
Mark charms, bosses, abilities, upgrades, trials, and content-pack goals as you finish them. The top number estimates in-game completion from 0% to 112%. Goal progress is that total divided by 112.
Use Missing, category, Ready, or Recommended Order on the same list. Ready only means this tracker’s prerequisites are checked—not that a route is possible from your exact map position.
Checks save automatically in this browser. Export a backup before you change devices or clear site data, then import it to restore your progress.
GOOD TO KNOW
100% vs 112%, grubs, Pantheons, and Pure Completion.
Follow the game's scoring list, not every collectible in Hallownest. This tracker covers the 105 objectives that add percentage: 36 base charms, 14 bosses, seven movement abilities, spells, nail and mask upgrades, dreamers, Colosseum trials, and the Grimm Troupe, Lifeblood, and Godmaster extras. Mark each requirement as you finish it. The number at the top estimates the in-game completion percentage. Pure Completion still needs an ending after you reach 112%.
Both, depending on the content you have. The original game tops out at 100%. Later free packs raised the maximum to 112%: six points from the Grimm Troupe, one from Hive Knight, and five from Godmaster. The Completion achievement asks for 100% and an ending. Pure Completion asks for 112% and an ending. This page tracks the 112% total. Reaching 100 points is enough for the older achievement if you then finish the game.
You need the charm they unlock, not a point per grub. Each grub adds 0%. Rescue all 46 if you want Grubberfly's Elegy, which is one of the 36 charm points on the Hollow Knight Charms Checklist. Grubsong unlocks earlier, at ten grubs. The Grubfather also gives Pale Ore at 31 grubs, which feeds Nail upgrades that do score. Use the Pale Ore checklist here to track that ore; use a full grub map to find every grub.
No. Godhome's first four pantheons—Master, Artist, Sage, and Knight—each add 1%, along with the Godtuner. Pantheon of Hallownest does not add a percentage point. It is still required for Embrace the Void and the fifth ending. Reaching 112% also does not unlock every Steam achievement. Some need other modes, journal work, or a different ending after the credits.
