Found in Kingdom's Edge beneath the Nailmaster's hut, giving 420 geo.

The Hunter's Journal contains entries on almost all that can be found in Hallownest - how many entries can be obtained without defeating it? (closest answer wins)

CLARIFICATIONS:
Entries locked behind previous things, e.g. the Seal of Binding locked behind defeating dream bosses(yay free hint) still count towards the answer.
