Hollow Knight- Easy Delicate Flower Path for Hardest Mask Shard

Hollow Knight- Easy Delicate Flower Path for Hardest Mask Shard

The hardest mask shard in all of Hollow Knight is licked behind the Delicate Flower side quest. In this video we will go over the easiest path to deliver the delicate flower to the Traitors’ Child.

The delicate flower is given to you by the Grey Mourner in the Resting Grounds. She has asked you to place it at the grave of her mantis lover in the Queen’s Gardens. The flower is very fragile and will be destroyed if you take damage.

List of Ways to Destroy the Flower:
– Taking any damage
– Riding the Stagways
– Using the Dreamgate
While riding the Stagways will break the flower, riding the trams will not.

As of Godmaster, additional flowers can be acquired after the quest is completed, allowing flowers to be given to other recipients once the Grey Mourner has departed. These can be found growing near the grave where the original flower was delivered.

List of Possible Recipients:
Grave of the Traitors’ Child
Elderbug
Godmaster Icon Nailmaster Oro
Godmaster Icon The Godseeker

  5. Deagan Shibata on October 5, 2021 at 8:13 am

    Tip:use minions they clear out most eminies
    Edit: I cannot spell



  6. Йцукен Фывин on October 5, 2021 at 8:14 am

    All my pets were with me when I was delivering the flower. And they WERE really helpful



  7. Christopher McCullough on October 5, 2021 at 8:14 am

    Hell yeah! Thank you <3

    Edit – years later on PC lol. My enemies didn’t respawn using the dreamgate. Sounds like it may be different depending on version or console type?

    Either way. Thanks! Awesome tutorial.



  8. Patrick on October 5, 2021 at 8:16 am

    I can do path of pain hitless, but the end of the flower quest still gets me



  9. Awakened Soul on October 5, 2021 at 8:17 am

    I did this today! 11:37 AM August 27, 2021 Friday Fourth Week Of August. I did not copy the route you took. I chose an easier one just avoid those flying Mantis that throws a spinning projectile.

    After this I smelled my FRAGRANT ARMPITS BY TOUCHING THOSE WITH MY FINGERS OHHHHH I AM VERY GOOD IN PLATFORMING!



  10. reece corbett on October 5, 2021 at 8:18 am

    Thank you so much!! I did it first try with your strategy, and now I have 9 masks!



  11. Sbeve Loaf on October 5, 2021 at 8:18 am

    Who ever added this to the game is going to hell



  12. justbenagain on October 5, 2021 at 8:20 am

    Or if you wanna go hard go down to one health and do the vengence grubberfly quickslash combo



  13. WoopWoop on October 5, 2021 at 8:20 am

    wait, are you able to dreamgate?



  14. Erik Ray on October 5, 2021 at 8:20 am

    I dropped down through the City of Tears, went across to the Fungal Wastes, and only cut through the edge of Fog Canyon on my way over. Never occurred to me about the bench and enemies respawning though.. At least the route I took has less flying, exploding, and projectile enemies. Had I known about the respawn thing, this would’ve been much easier lol.



  15. Izzykgamer on October 5, 2021 at 8:21 am

    What if the fragile charms would be delicate
    But now that I think about it fragile health would be useless and fragile strength would be fury of the fallen but you don’t die in one hit



  16. Relyea on October 5, 2021 at 8:22 am

    Enemies spawn if you get the flower from grey mourner in latest version – Update provided by Accordion Nymm.

    I did not get a chance to test but believe it is true.



  17. Neil Gupta on October 5, 2021 at 8:24 am

    I went down the elevator to the City of Tears, then to the Fungal Wastes, and through Queen’s station. Then going through far less of Fog Canyon to enter the Queens Gardens the same way you did. I think City of Tears and Fungal Wastes are easier than Infected Crossroads and Fog Canyon.



  18. JZ on October 5, 2021 at 8:26 am

    Thanks



  19. Ibrahim Berwari on October 5, 2021 at 8:27 am

    The hardest mask shard in all of Hollow Knight is *locked behind the Delicate Flower side quest. In this video we will go over the easiest path to deliver the delicate flower to the Traitors’ Child.



  22. Dennis Guanlao on October 5, 2021 at 8:33 am

  23. dumb dummy on October 5, 2021 at 8:33 am

  24. Jack howell Collectors on October 5, 2021 at 8:33 am

  29. Midgematic on October 5, 2021 at 8:38 am

  31. Brandon Rathbone on October 5, 2021 at 8:40 am

    (Typo in the description)



  32. Owens Network on October 5, 2021 at 8:40 am

    Very nice video!



  33. enrique sanchez on October 5, 2021 at 8:43 am

    Halfway through the video you’re “your gonna need a Ishmas tear🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️



  34. Abdur Rahman on October 5, 2021 at 8:43 am

    There is a much easier way through the city of tears and fungal wastes. Just take the elevator down



  35. Matt Swank on October 5, 2021 at 8:43 am

    Has Grubberfly Elergy

    Also has grubs on the map

    *visible confusion*



  36. Mad Weegee on October 5, 2021 at 8:44 am

    Anyone who happens to have picked up Hollow Knight 4 years late (like me lol) use the Baldur Shell. If you get scared, you just focus and it will block damage



  37. MatMar - on October 5, 2021 at 8:45 am

    UH, I got the flower but I didn’t even get to queens gardens yet, I am doing this game so wrong lol



  38. goose on October 5, 2021 at 8:46 am

    So if I fail this challenge it’s impossible to 9 health?



  39. Anthony Raptopoulos on October 5, 2021 at 8:48 am

    Stupid thorns at the end!!!



  40. Shadow God on October 5, 2021 at 8:50 am

    P.O.V. You watch halfway and he says “you’ll need isma’s tear” 💀 I’m going to have to come back to this quest.



  41. The_Sickster on October 5, 2021 at 8:51 am

    If you destroy the flower you can take another one?



  42. GameFan on October 5, 2021 at 8:51 am

    Geez, that’s what I get for not doing my research.
    Before this video: incomplete quest even after 20-40 tries(2 solid hours of grinding)
    After this video: Completed in 2 tries and roughly 15-20 minutes.



  43. Cooper Driver on October 5, 2021 at 8:52 am

    I died on the last jump…



  44. TobiasBoon on October 5, 2021 at 8:53 am

    Ahhh those tiny jellyfish are a freaking nightmare. Good thing I found an easier path through the Fungal Waste with less annoying enemies.



  45. F N on October 5, 2021 at 8:58 am

    Thanks to u, that was helpful



  46. Evil_Sponge on October 5, 2021 at 8:59 am

    i gave my flower to elderbug, i went through hell for him, it was worth it cuz i made him happy. hell yeah.



  47. Luke Mann on October 5, 2021 at 8:59 am

    You can cdash at the isma spot although it’s very hard



  48. Souls at Zero on October 5, 2021 at 9:00 am

    Very late but thanks for this guide. I am playing the game for the first time and this helped me a lot!

    Still died once by dashing into the thorny entrance of the last tiny section. But this video helped me finding a good path + made me a bit more relaxed, since you did such a good job at pointing out that it is not that bad after all.



  49. Mike on October 5, 2021 at 9:00 am

    This one took me quite a few tries. I mostly ruined the flower on spikes at the end.



  50. Alicat Gtz on October 5, 2021 at 9:01 am

    Thank you! This really helped me!
