King's Idols - Key Information
There are 8 King's Idols in Hollow Knight. Some are given as rewards by NPCs, while most are simply hidden across the world.
King's Idol is a type of rare collectible in Hollow Knight that serves as a sellable trinket. Visit Relic Seeker Lemm in City of Tears and sell him your idols for 800 Geo.
It is recommended to not sell them straight away, but only when you need the Geo - because accidental death means risking losing your Geo, while collectibles stay in your inventory.
The first King's Idols you sell to Relic Seeker Lemm give unique lore dialogue from the NPC.
Collecting King's Idols does not count toward 112%.
