I don’t play metroidvania type games very often, and I struggle to remember details to come back to. For example, if I gain a dash ability, I want to be able to check my map and know where to head back to as there might be half a dozen spots it may allow access to.
Add in a few other types of blocked routes scattered throughout, and all of the branching paths etc, I find it hugely helpful to have a customised map.
I first tried with just the in game maps and the pins you can drop, but I ran out of pins before finding the abilities to revisit and clear out the areas.
i see, makes sense. Its been a long time since i played HK, but you can also increase charm slots.
Also you’re not supposed to be able to use all of them at once, you have to change based on situation (although you can have one charm over thr limit at the cost of double damage received)
good luck with your custom map search though, Hollow Knight is a very good game
Why draw maps? theres an NPC that gives you a map of the current area, you can locate him by the sound he makes.
Oh and theres a charm that shows your location at all times on the map
