Here's a quick and detailed guide on how to find all the Pale Ore in Hollow Knight. Some of the Pale Ore is easy to grab by picking it up, and some requires a little more work. I've tried to make this video as short and concise as possible for you.

Why would you want pale ore?
Pale Ore is a very rare mineral in Hollow Knight. If you give Pale Ore to the Nailsmith along with a payment of Geo, he can upgrade the Knight's Nail. The first upgrade requires no Pale Ore, the second requires one, the third requires two, and the last upgrade requires three Pale Ore, for a total of six.

With each upgrade, the knight can do additional damage and is very useful throughout the game.

To get all the pale ore, you need to unlock some skills

Hollow Knight: How to upgrade your nails?
To upgrade your nail, you must first go to the City of Tears. On the far left side of the city is the Nail Master. This NPC will upgrade your weapon for Geo and Pale Ore.

You start with an old nail and can improve your weapon from there:
1. Sharpened Nail – 250 Geo (no pale ore required)
2. Channeled Nail – 800 Geo and 1 Pale Ore
3. Coiled Nail – 2,000 Geo and 2 Pale Ore
4. Reiner Nagel – 4,000 Geo and 3 Pale Ore
