How to unlock the Solace achievement in Hollow Knight - Definitive Guide

This trophy will probably give you the biggest headache ever. There is an NPC hidden in the Resting Grounds called the Grey Mourner. She will ask you to take a Delicate Flower from where she is to the Queen's Gardens and lay it at the grave of her loved one. It is much easier said than done because there is a couple of caveats to this side quest. You cannot get hit by enemies or obstacles, doing so will destroy the flower. You also cannot fast travel from either the Stag Station or the Dream Gate, doing so will also destroy the flower. Though you can use the trams if you prefer. You have to walk from one end of Hallownest to the other without getting hit once. If that wasn't bad enough, at the grave site, there is a small obstacle of thorns that is quite tricky to navigate through. Quite the tall order. Fortunately, the Grey Mourner can provide endless Delicate Flowers so you can repeat the quest as much times as needed.

There are ways to make this easier. For starters, knowing the best path is the key to success here. There are quite a number of ways you can get there, but I recommend the following: From Resting Grounds, take the elevator down to City of Tears. From there, go to the door to the Fungal Wastes, it's locked but there is a hidden path above the door that takes you past the door. From the Fungal Wastes, go to Queen's Station and subsequently, the Fog Canyon. Lastly, the Queen's Gardens before arriving at the grave. This path presents the least obstacles. Now the enemies will also prove a challenge getting through. Fortunately, there's a way to remove them from the equation. If you go on a trial run on the route suggested and kill every enemy on your route, the enemies will remain dead so long as you do not rest at a bench. Resting on a bench will make them respawn. Some enemies will respawn but most aren't a problem, like the Fungling which just floats casually so long as you don't rest at a bench, you can try as many times as you need to get to the grave. All you have to do then is avoid the obstacles, especially near the grave itself but if you manage to traverse the entire length of the map and deliver the flower, return to the Grey Mourner with the Stag Station near the grave and she will reward you with a Mask Shard and this trophy will be yours.

To get the achievement you need to bring a flower to the grave of the Traitor's Child in the Queen's Gardens. You can get the flower from the Gray Mourner, she will ask you to take it away, the flower is very delicate, and therefore the flower will die from receiving damage or riding a stag.

To go from the Lands of Repose to the Forgotten Crossroads you need a pass, you can get it in the Faulty Tram, the Tram is located in the Rough Nest.

The easiest way is to go in the opposite direction from the grave to the mourner and clear all the mobs. We take the flower and go back the same way, if you did not sit on the bench, then the enemies will not appear, you can also put 2 amulets, a shield of dreams and an elegy of dolls, to keep your distance from the enemies.

You don't have to pass it the first time, there are attempts.

In general, the easiest way, after gaining the ability to teleport, is to use the glitch (described above how to do it) for immortality and run lightly with the flower, enjoying the beauty in the area and not paying attention to enemies and thorns. Oh, and don’t forget to return to the Mourner for the trophy.

On the way to the mogul you will come across benches. Sit on them and unload the save. if unsuccessful, boot. So you won't start from the very beginning.

I don't know about the mourner's flower, but the subsequent flowers are very easy to wear. We sit on a bench near the end point, run after the flower without sitting on other benches, take the flower and immediately exit the game. We load the game - we are on the last activated bench with a living flower.
