Deep Docks

Swift Step, the Forge Daughter's shop, two fleas and the first Lace fight, which can be missed for good.
Lace (Deep Docks)BossMissablePoint of no return
Location
Deep Docks · Lace's arena
Why you can lose it
Skipping the Deep Docks fight (through the lower Docks, a Simple Key door or the Flea Caravan) loses this fight and its achievement once the story moves her on.
Point of no return
Moving on without beating Lace in the Deep Docks. The sites disagree on the exact moment: hollowknight.wiki says she stops appearing there once Hornet reaches the Blasted Steps or Sinner's Road through the Wormways; Allthings.how says once you meet her later in the Citadel.
Requires
Summary
She blocks the way to Far Fields. Beat her here; ringing the Bellshrine past her arena then opens the gate onward.

The Hunter's Journal, Thread Storm, the Reaper Crest, Moorwing, and three Bone Bottom wishes that open up once you reach Greymoor.
Garmond and Zaza: talk to GarmondQuest stepMissablePoint of no return
Location
Greymoor
Why you can lose it
Garmond never returns to rooms he has already passed. If he enters the Citadel before you have spoken to him, the Act 2 duel and the Garmond & Zaza journal entry are gone.
Point of no return
Garmond and Zaza moving into the Citadel before Hornet has ever spoken to Garmond. No site gives the exact moment, so this guide treats Hornet's own entry through the Grand Gate as the deadline. It closes the Act 2 duel (section 15) and the Garmond & Zaza journal entry.
Requires
Summary
Find the pair in Greymoor and talk to Garmond. Once you have spotted Moorwing they wait above its arena and may join that fight.

Why you can lose it
Giving Plinney a Pale Oil before taking this wish skips it; the Shining Needle still comes, but the wish itself is gone.
