Where are you exactly?

I have absolutely no idea.

I do know that I'm maybe in the second area of the game? I've just been hopping around.

i also have no idea if I've met any important characters yet i'm so confused

The second area would be Greenpath - it's a relatively linear pathway, and most of it is spent simply walking and following around another character that barely makes a presence.

If you haven't made it there yet, the only real important characters are those in Dirtmouth, Cornifer, and the Last Stag, all found really early on in the game. If you have Cornifer's map of the Forgotten Crossroads, you'll want a compass, and spend the rest of your time just going places you haven't been yet, or those that are connected to the map. Once you've fought a boss and a new ability then Greenpath opens up to your west.

Depends on what makes you into a sobbing mess, but I'd guess at least, umm, a hundred.

It's very therapeutic.

Yep, I believe I got there. I think I already fought that character who I was following though and now they don't like me, so do I just keep wandering around until something happens?

I've already found those three, so that's a good sign I'm on the right track, at least! I do have all the maps so far but I keep going off the edge, so it's not showing where I am. I probably have to keep running about; I may have missed some things. Is there anything really important you can miss that I should know of around that area?

There's a couple. Not too many, depending on how you are, but… There'll be a couple if you go out of your way to find them.

There's not really anything story-related around those parts. Greenpath has one entirely optional place to go to late in the game, but that's about it. If you ever don't know where you're supposed to go, the Elderbug in Dirtmouth will usually have little hints in his dialogue of where you should go. At this point he should be talking about the mushrooms deep underground. You might find an upgrade if you look for what he mentions.

Thanks to the friend who got me into this game and my instinct after he said ‘big yes’ of me asking if the title's foreshadowing, I have figured out The Knight and The Hollow Knight are separate.
