The second one via Relicseeker Lemm in City of Tears. By the time you've saved all 46 grubs, you will have accumulated a total sum of 8000 geos, that's nearly 30% of the total expenses. One of your two main sources of income, as mentioned in the previous section, would be by rescuing grubs. The main idea behind speedrunning is that you'd be dashing through every mob that you meet along your way, stopping to kill each and every crawlid you encounter is a huge waste of time, I'd advise against farming mobs for geos. 900 Geo for all toll fees, include gates, benches and lifts. 800 Geo to learn Dash Slash from Nailmaster Oro (1%).1560 Geo to unlock all Stag Stations, unlocks one vessel fragment (0.333%).3000 Geo at the Ancient Basin Fountain to receive one vessel fragment (0.333%).960 Geo with Defender's Crest equipped for all 3 fragile charms (3%).*** Charm notches do not contribute to game completion percentage, but it is advised that you get them anyway to make your life easier. 1690 Geo to buy all 5 charms for sale (Lifeblood Heart, Longnail, Steady Body, Shaman Stone, Quick Focus for 5%).
1250 Geo to buy all 4 charms for sale (Gathering Swarm, Stalwart Shell, Heavy Blow, Sprintmaster for 4%).1450 Geo for 2 vessel fragments (3 pieces required to complete one soul vessel for 1%).
2950 Geo for 4 mask shards which adds to one mask (1%). 800 Geo for the Elegant Key which unlocks Shade Soul for 1%. 1800 Geo for the Lumafly lantern to access certain areas of the map safely. Saving all 46 grubs just to complete 4% of the game might sound like a pain in the a♥♥, but keep in mind the geo rewards ( total 8000 geo including one Hallownest seal and one King's Idol) are just as important too. Broken fragile charms will still be counted in the game completion percentage, you do not have to fix them. If you wish to avoid fighting Radiance, simply go for the Sealed Siblings Ending, in which you refuse to dream nail Hollow Knight after Hornet's "git gud" intervention at the end of the fight and continue hitting the final boss with your normal attack. Both Hollow Knight and Radiance do not contribute to game completion percentage, but you'll have to actually get to the end credits scene to receive the achievement. Dream Bosses (Lost Kin, Soul Tyrant and Failed Champion, etc.) do not contribute to game completion percentage, but are essential for Seer Ascension (1%). However, Vengefly King does reward 65 Geo and is fairly easy to kill, the reward Geo would be quite crucial in the early game. Saving Zote does not contribute to game completion percentage, the same goes for Vengefly King. (Talk to the NPC outside Distant Village Stag Station then talk to him again at the edge of Howling Cliffs where you summoned the Troupe in the first place.) You do not have to fight Nightmare King (NKG), banishing the troupe will award you with 1%.
