To fix a broken Fragile Strength charm in Hollow Knight, you must visit Leg Eater in the Fungal Wastes. He offers a specialized repair service for all broken fragile charms.
Repairing Fragile Charms
When a Fragile Charm, such as Fragile Strength, breaks upon the Knight's death, it does not disappear permanently. Instead, it becomes unusable until repaired. Leg Eater, who sells these charms, is also the sole vendor capable of restoring them to their functional state.
The Repair Process
- Locate Leg Eater: He is found in the Fungal Wastes, generally after you've made an initial payment to him for his shop to open.
- Initiate Dialogue: Speak with Leg Eater. He will recognize the broken state of your charm.
- Pay the Fee: Leg Eater will request a certain amount of Geo (the in-game currency) to repair the charm. Upon payment, your Fragile Strength charm will be restored and ready for use.
Cost Savings: The Defender's Crest Discount
A valuable tip for saving Geo on repairs is to equip the Defender's Crest charm before speaking to Leg Eater. He has a particular fondness for the smell emanating from this charm. If the Knight is wearing Defender's Crest, Leg Eater will offer a 20% discount on his repair services. This can significantly reduce the cost of restoring your Fragile Strength charm.
It's always recommended to visit Leg Eater with the Defender's Crest equipped to take advantage of this special offer, especially if you anticipate needing repairs frequently or are managing your Geo carefully.
