Void Heart Information

"An emptiness that was hidden within, now unconstrained."

Void Heart is a charm that unlocks multiple aspects of the game. Once players have acquired this charm, they will be able to access 4 different endings, but will not be able to obtain the first ending unless you start a new game.

This charm is also the Kingsoul charm that only transforms into the Void Heart once you find the Birthplace. It cannot be unequipped and it no longer uses notches, allowing you to equip other charms of your choice. This also makes The Knight's Shade and Siblings unharmful, Void Tendrils will no longer appear in certain areas, and you will be able to swim through waters that have tendrils in it. The knight will sometimes heal two times.

Acquiring the Void Heart also unlocks extra dialogues for Bardoon, Hornet, The White Lady, Steel Soul Jinn, and Confessor Jiji.
