There are two distinct requirements the player must meet to reach the Monarch Wings. The Monarch Wings is located on the left-most area of the Ancient Basin. However, the player can reach an even higher verticality by Nail-bouncing off an enemy or an object, as this also refreshes the Monarch Wings. Its use then refreshes when the player lands on the ground or clings to a wall using the Mantis Claw. The Monarch Wings are activated when the player presses the jump button again once in mid-air. It also allows you to reach flight enemies you normally wouldn’t be able to reach. Whether you’re fighting standard enemies or facing bosses, the ability to double jump will allow you to dodge and avoid attacks much easier. On top of making the traversal aspect of the game easier and allowing players to reach previously inaccessible levels, the Monarch Wings is also very useful in combat. These areas can be accessed with precise Nail-bouncing, but having the Monarch Wings will make the ordeal easier: The Monarch Wings will give you access to these areas: With the layout of every single biome in Hollow Knight, acquiring this item is almost a must.
The Monarch Wings gives you the ability to double jump.
