Hollowrune

Hollow Knight, with a Deltarune story running through it. You play Hollow Knight exactly as usual, as a metroidvania. Now, whenever one of Hallownest's guardians falls, a Dark Fountain wells up in its arena, and a Deltarune champion steps out.

The story

Ralsei climbs out of a fountain in Dirtmouth with an old legend: a vessel with no voice will close the fountains one by one, until the Roaring Knight rises before the Black Egg. Seal all four, face the Knight, and reach one of two endings. Spare every champion for the Gentle Ending.

The fountains

| Where | It opens after | Champion | |---|---|---| | Forgotten Crossroads | False Knight | Lancer (and Susie joins you) | | Greenpath | Hornet | K. Round | | Royal Waterways | Dung Defender | Spamton NEO (and Noelle joins you) | | Kingdom's Edge | Hornet, again | Jevil (and his Devilsknife) | | Black Egg Temple | all four sealed | The Roaring Knight |

Deltarune's battle rules, in real time

• TP: your Tension fills when bullets graze you without hitting.
• MERCY: a champion's mercy rises as you graze and survive, and drops when you hit it. At 100%, choose SPARE.
• ACT menu (F, or L3/R3 on a controller; time slows while it's open):
  • Susie's Rude Buster and Red Buster
  • Ralsei's Heal Prayer
  • Noelle's IceShock
  • your items
• Shops in Dirtmouth: Seam sells Dark Candy, ReviveMint, Spincake, Pink Ribbon and Spiky Band. Later, Spamton sells Pipis, Silver Card, Dealmaker and Tension Bit.
• Darkners in the regions: Rudinn, Hathy, Ponman, Jigsawry, Clover, Werewire, Poppup, Virovirokun and Rudinn Ranger roam while a region's fountain is open.
• Spared champions move to Dirtmouth, where you can talk to them.
