Would the gate in Path of Pain stay open if i saved and quit?
I'm playing hollow knight on my switch, and one day i thought it would be a good idea to try and to path of pain for fun. I got about what i think is halfway (the chorus is singing in the background) and i hit a lever that made a gate open. However, i want to play other games on my switch now, but because theres no save points in Path of Pain, i was thinking i could just save and quit, and the gate would still be open when i came back. But i dont want to risk losing all of my progress on Path of Pain because... well... it's Path of Pain. It's hard.
Best Answer
Yes, the gate does stay open. If you rage-quit (which I did), then as long as you can make it back to the area with the shortcut, you can use it freely, although if you save quit you respawn back at the bench just below the PoP.

Can you return to path of Pain Hollow Knight?
Since Path of Pain came out, you can re-enter White Palace and complete some sections again (maybe not all though?). But once you beat the Path of Pain, you can't get back into it, it won't let you past the broken wall.Can you reenter path of Pain?
The Path of Pain cannot be entered again as the wall cannot be broken.Is path of Pain optional for true ending?
The Path of Pain is completely optional.Is there an achievement for doing path of Pain?
It's optional, it's absurdly difficult, and it's exactly the kind of insane challenge taylor made for "I survived this game's nightmare portion, and all I got was this lousy achievement".Path of Pain Location and Walkthrough
