Wayward Compass

Reveals the Knight's location on the map.

Adds the Knight's position to the map. Most players' first charm purchase.

How it works

Without this charm, the map only shows rooms — not where you are inside them. Often the first charm players buy.

Where to find it

Sly's shop in Dirtmouth.
