The soul is a core mechanic of Hollow Knight and you will be using it when you use the abilities that are provided to you in the game. There are quite a few abilities in the game and this Hollow Knight Abilities Locations Guide will guide you through all of them.
Hollow Knight Abilities
The soul can be used for a multitude of purposes in the game. It can be used for anything from spells which deal damage all the way to healing yourself. The meter that you have will often glow whenever you are ready to cast a spell using your soul.
You can also acquire Soul Vessels as an additional storage for Soul. That appears to the left side of your main Soul Meter. They can hold additional Soul once the original meter is full.
Hits by your Nail can get you, Soul, as can Soul Catcher and Soul Eater. Let us go ahead and see some of the abilities that you can use with the Soul. You can find abilities at different locations which will make it easier to travel in the game.
