The Knight reaches Dirtmouth through that pass after breaking down its stone door, marking the start of their journey through Hallownest.ĭirtmouth itself is almost abandoned, with many of the houses boarded up and empty.

Not everything will be notated right away as I'm not going to fill in every detail purely from memory, instead replaying the game to mark the exact locations. So I'm replaying the game a second time and keeping track of where EVERYTHING is located as well as what ability you need to access things you find as you explore Hallownest. While there's an ingame item that will show you the locations of all the Grubs you haven't rescued yet, it's much later in the game, and other collectibles have no item to help you find them.
