According to Team Cherry, the expansion would have "taken players down into the lake of void, to explore the twisted space within."

The Abyss contains a door sealed by Lifeblood vines. The shades of dead Vessels, the Siblings, still wander the bottom of the Abyss.

The Pale King sealed the Abyss after selecting the Hollow Knight as his chosen Vessel. He used the Void to turn his children into Vessels, beings with a shell filled with Void who were born in the Abyss. When the Pale King arrived in Hallownest, he eventually discovered the Abyss and the presence of the Void. The Void Tendrils and Siblings found throughout the Abyss become passive once Void Heart has been acquired.īefore the kingdom of Hallownest was founded, an ancient civilisation originated from or near the Abyss who worshipped the Void.

The Shade Cloak can be acquired to the east of the sea, in a room with a corpse holding a bowl of Void. This lighthouse can be activated to calm down the Void Tendrils in the sea which normally lash out towards intruders. The sea of Void is located on the east side with a lighthouse standing on its shore. To the very west is an altar surrounded by numerous screaming faces where the Abyss Shriek Spell can be acquired. An additional area in the chasm can be opened when the Kingsoul Charm is equipped, which leads to an egg that can be Dream Nailed to obtain Void Heart. The area itself contains a giant chasm which is littered with the shells of Vessels who were born in the Abyss and then discarded. It is the place of origin of the Void, a substance found at the bottom of the Abyss. The Abyss is the lowest area in Hallownest, located below Ancient Basin.
