More info
There are six Pale Ore pieces to collect in Hollow Knight, and you’ll hand them to the Nailsmith to upgrade your Nail. After the first upgrade is free, each additional upgrade consumes Pale Ore plus Geo (1, 2, or 3 ore depending on the upgrade). For a complete rundown of all locations, see the guide listing the six ore sites. Pro Game Guides also summarizes the upgrade costs and where to turn them in, and the Hollow Knight Wiki entry on Pale Ore covers each location in detail. TheGamer provides a consolidated location list and notes on how to access some tougher spots.
