Awoken Dream Nail is an Ability in Hollow Knight. Abilities are upgrades which impart various effects and skills that help The Knight traverse and interact with the environment in new ways. Unlike Spells, Abilities do not use SOUL or any other resources, but some may have short cooldowns or require resetting before being available for use again. The Awoken Dream Nail is the upgraded form of the Dream Nail, obtained after collecting 1,800 Essence. With it, the Knight can gain entry into the White Palace.
