Quests in Hollow Knight are tasks that are given by NPCs. Quests provide the players with additional information about the world of Hallownest as well as new items and monetary rewards in form of Geo. There are no quest markers or entries in the game, so the list provided below might not be complete, as the term 'quest' isn't defined by the game itself.
You may want to consult the Endings page or the Trophy and Achievement Guide for other types of objectives.
Hollow Knight Quests
Delicate Flower
"Ull Waaaaii! Che's sacred, precious, one of its kind flower. Ruined. Che's love, denied her final gift."
A Nailsmith's Obsession
"With a Pure Nail forged, my work in this lifetime comes to an end. My only remaining desire is to see and feel the nail strike true!"
Millibelle
"Losing one's Geo is a terrible thing and it's so much more likely if you carry it about on yourself."
The Grimm Troupe
"When flames burn bright inside one’s mind, kin heed the call ‘cross lands and time.”
This tells me nothing about the quests!
