I'm trying to do this where if I get stuck I don't go look up guides because it'd end up ruining my enjoyment.

I'm stuck in Hollow Knight, I went to Greenpath, Howling Cliff, Forgotten Crossroads, Fog Canyon (although I can't find the map guy and there's black streams that block me from progressing) and the Mantis Village.

There's two paths that I haven't gone down in Greenpath because they're unreachable and over large patches of water. I also can't seem to be able to beat the three mantises at the end of the village. Some dude told me to go below the mantis village and get a new sword but I can't find a way to reach it.

Could someone drop me some hints on what to do without being too obvious?

Quill\s advice is good.

If you have the Mantis Claw, seek out the capital and look for a sign like a sword. The reforging of your Nail is probably one of the most important upgrades you can get. You can also, optionally, return to the beginning of the game, and head up for another upgrade. Pick up a Simple Key from your good friend Sly before going to the Capital, also, as there's another area it unlocks which will also help you. If you're stuck trying to get to the capital, remember that not all bridges are obvious: Some are high above the chasm you seek to cross.
