There are plenty of things for you to do in Hollow Knight. As you build the map of Hallownest, the sheer scope of what this world has to offer becomes more and more clear. But for some tasks, this scale is more daunting than awe-inspiring, as may be the case with the Grubs.

Hollow Knight: All Abilities And How To Get Them
To help you travel across the world of Hollow Knight, this guide will show you how to find every Ability.
The Grubs are scattered all across the map, and managing to find and free all of them can reap greater rewards for their rescuer down the line. However, there are 46 of these little buggers lying around, not to mention some creatures in Hallownest will even mimic them and then attack you, so it's good to know where exactly to look.
Updated January 18, 2024, by Sean Murray: If you're looking for all grub locations in Hollow Knight, this guide has you covered. We've recently refreshed this guide with some formatting tweaks and more links to other helpful Hollow Knight topics.
The reward in each row is not for that specific grub, but for rescuing the corresponding number of Grubs. Check out our guide on Grub rewards for full info.
