Is there a key for the map icons in Hollow Knight?
Posted On: December 12, 2023

I bought lots of markers for my map from the nice bug lady in Dirtmouth but I can't actually remember what most of them are for and there doesn't seem to be a key or legend that I can see on the map or in the journal.


I could just look them up on my phone but I was hoping for an quicker in game way to check them without stopping playing. Plus most of the time I am playing is during air travel so I have no internet access to look them up anyway.


Question from user Colin at stackexchange.


Answer:

Yes, there is an in-game key for map icons.


Open the full-screen map page by double tapping the quick map button.


PC: Tab, Xbox: LB, PS4: L1, Switch: L.


Use the "pins" button to toggle showing or hiding the map pins & key.


PC: P, Xbox: Y, PS4: ?, Switch: X.
