Hollow Knight Vendor Guide

The vendor in the City of Tears is Sly, but the City of Tears does not have a vendor, as Lemm does not sell items in his shop, he is more of an antique collector, and the information about the land’s history can be gleaned from various NPCs and environmental clues throughout the game. The shopkeeper that can be found in a hovel in the abandoned village at the bottom of the Forgotten Crossroads, past the Gruz Mother, is actually Sly, who has been slowly succumbing to the Infection, but approaching him breaks him out of his daze, saving him.
