Hollow Knight Coiled Nail Notes & Tips
- Nails are bladed weapons akin to swords and are used in a similar fashion, with slashing strikes forming the basis of their attacks. Nails are prevalent in Hallownest and are used by its guards, soldiers and other warriors. Nails can be seen wielded by various Enemies, Bosses and NPCs that The Knight encounters. The denizens of Hallownest also wield other weapons that appear to be variations of the Nail such as the Mantis Lords' spears and Hornet's Needle.
- The Coiled Nail gets its name from the thin grooves that coil around the length of the blade. Interestingly, the deep grooves that were visible in the Channelled Nail's blade appear to have been filled for this upgrade.
- While Nail appearances change in the menu as you upgrade them, these changes are not visible on The Knight's sprite when wielding the weapon.
