Hollow Knight - Queen's Gardens

Queen's Gardens - A lush, greenhouse-type area filled with ornate gates, thorns, and perilous platforms located in the west part of Hallownest. Once the gardens of the White Lady, it became overrun with Mantis Traitors who were banished from their tribe and sought their own glory. Unlike the rest of Hallownest's verdant wilds, the Queen's Gardens are a mix of both natural flora and bug-made architecture.

Having been exiled by the Mantis Tribe and retreated to the Queen's Gardens, numerous dark green tents housing the Mantis Traitors have cropped up in the Gardens, along with large thorns similar in appearance to the ones found in The Hunter's lair. Though uncommon, numerous pillars and statues of Unn can also be found throughout the Garden.

"Have you heard of Hallownest's Queen? Apparently these gardens were once her retreat... Now some vicious types are crawling all over the place and the plants have grown wild... As inhospitable as it is, I've enjoyed my travels here. Care to see my efforts? "
- Cornifer the Cartographer

Queen's Gardens have a very low enemy count for such a late game area. I don't know, the repeat of a Greenpath enemy and only four other unique ones feels so lackluster compared to other locations, but I guess it's common among similar locations like Kingdom's Edge.

If you haven't seen it already, go check the timelapse of the Traitor Lord I posted yesterday! There's a link in the comments on that post if you're interested.
