Hiveblood in Hollow Knight is one out of the 45 Charms that is found in the game.

Charms require Notches and can only be equipped and unequipped while having The Knight sit on a bench.

Hiveblood Information

"Golden nugget of the Hive's precious hardened nectar.'

Hiveblood is a charm that has health regenerative properties, this allows the Knight to recover its health without the use of SOUL. However, Hiveblood only restores 1 health mask and requires the knight to not take any damage for 12 seconds.

If The Knight takes damage while regenerating its health, players will need to repeat the process and wait for at least 12 seconds without taking any damage for the charm to work - also, Hiveblood can be interrupted once a player uses SOUL to heal.

Another point to take note of is that Hiveblood can also restore Lifeblood Masks gained from Joni's Blessing but takes about 24 seconds for the charm to start regenerating.

Hiveblood Acquisition

• Location: The Hive
• Acquisition: To acquire this charm, you will need to defeat the Hive Knight first. Once you've defeated the Hive Knight, make your way to the room below the area where the Hive Knight was fought and continue towards the path while avoiding and fighting off Hivelings, Hive Guardians, and Hive Soldiers, and eventually, you will find yourself at a spiked platform - use the Crystal Heart ability to launch yourself above the spiked platform where you will find the charm on the ground.
