In combination with Grubsong it allows for regenerating SOUL infinitely albeit slowly by jumping into hazards or enemies, retreating, waiting for health to regenerate, then repeating. Also changes the visuals of the Knight's Masks. Hiveblood can regenerate Lifeblood Masks granted directly by Joni's Blessing, though it takes twice as long (20 seconds). Located in the Hive, below the room where the Hive Knight is fought. Its ability to render the Hive's residents passive makes it very useful on return trips to the area. It also serves as the only means by which health may be recovered mid-air, making it useful for the Colosseum of Fools. This makes it very helpful in difficult platforming sections with few enemies, such as the Crystallised Mound in the Crystal Peak, the path to Nailmaster Sheo in Greenpath, the Nail-jumping section to reach a Vessel Fragment in Deepnest, and most prominently, the White Palace and the Path of Pain. The best use of Hiveblood is to regenerate health in situations where SOUL is not readily available. As the Knight is likely to not go on the offensive while waiting for Hiveblood to regenerate health, Hiveblood pairs well with Charms that can damage foes while dodging, such as Glowing Womb or Sharp Shadow. Hiveblood is decent in combat if the Knight can dodge a boss effectively, but has trouble finding opportunities to heal. Other sources of Lifeblood - like Lifeblood Cocoons, or the Lifeblood Heart and Lifeblood Core Charms - are not affected. Hiveblood does regenerate Lifeblood Masks gained from the Joni's Blessing Charm, though it takes twice as long (20s). Finally, healing a Mask with Focus ends the regeneration in progress. In the case of an attack that deals two Masks of damage (such as an explosion), Hiveblood only regenerates one Mask. Taking damage again while regenerating starts the process over (at the Knight's current health). Now all that’s left to do is go find them and receive a ton of Geo as a reward.The regenerating Mask is marked by a small blob of dripping honey that slowly grows bigger.

This is The Collector’s Map, which will display the locations of every undiscovered Grub in the game with a pin that has the face of a Grub. To the left of them will be a desk with a shiny object on it. Just whack him with your nail and he’ll dissolve into black ooze before letting out one final, disturbing bout of laughter.Ĭontinue up the tower and you’ll find three trapped Grubs in the area above. When he’s just about dead, he’ll stand still while hunched over and melting. He's pretty fast, but if you avoid his attacks and the falling jars, you should be able to handle him. He’ll then leap up into the ceiling and begin dropping jars that contain additional enemies for you to kill. The Collector’s main attacks involve jumping left and right while occasionally swiping at you. The ensuing boss fight can be difficult, but it’s also pretty straightforward. Head up the tower and The Collector will eventually show up and begin laughing hysterically. It’s a rather unnerving part of the game as you’ll hear creepy laughing and see bugs trapped inside glass jars. You’ll now be inside the padded sanctuary of The Collector.
