Quick Links

There are a lot of enemies in Hollow Knight — over 150, in fact. You can encounter them pretty much anywhere in the dangerous world of Hallownest, and keeping track of all of them can be difficult. That's where the Hunter's Journal comes in, as it documents all the information about every enemy or interesting thing you come across.

Hollow Knight: Grimm Troupe Quest Guide
Here's our full guide on how to complete the Grimm Troupe quest in Hollow Knight.

This guide will go through each and every possible entry that can be put into the Hunter's Journal. It's important to keep in mind that not every single entry counts toward truly completing the journal, the signs of completion being the Keen Hunter achievement and the Hunter's Mark gifted by the Hunter himself. These increase the total number of entries to 168, though there are technically only 164 because four of those — the Hunter's Mark, the Void Idol, the Seal of Binding, and the Weathered Mask — do not increase the entry count at all.

Updated October 15, 2023, by Sean Murray: We've got the full list of Hunter's Journal entries for Hollow Knight, which we've recently refreshed a few light formatting tweaks and links to other helpful Hollow Knight topics.

Enemies In Multiple Locations/Special Entries

HK Godhome

This list includes enemies that are found in more than one location and may require multiple encounters, certain bosses, and any entries that are not enemy-related at all and require certain conditions to obtain.

Many of these are also not required to obtain the Keen Hunter Achievement or the Hunter's Mark, though not all.

DLC (Hidden Dreams/Gods And Nightmares/Godmaster)

HK Grimm Troupe

Lastly, we have DLC content. These will increase the total entry count by one, but are not required for Keen Hunter Achievement or the Hunter's Mark.
