Silksong Map Hunt: My First-Person Guide to Every Biome Chart
https://dealnesthq.com
Even in 2026, Hollow Knight: Silksong can humble you in a hurry. I fired it up for a fresh run, strolled through Moss Grotto feeling pretty smug, then pressed the map ******* on and got a blank screen. No joke. That was my reminder that Silksong does not hand you the world on a platter; each biome has its own map, and you either buy it from Shakra or find some sneaky mechanism. I learned the hard way that grabbing the Quill and Compass early matters more than ******* ding Rosary Beads like a dragon. So here is my first-person field guide to every map location, with the routes I actually used and the little gotchas that made me mutter good grief under my breath. Bone Bottom And The Marrow: My First Rosary Beads Well Spent Bone Bottom and The Marrow are the opening one-two punch. I started in Moss Grotto, which is technically part of the much bigger Bone Bottom biome, and I did not get my bearings until I reached The Marrow. Once you enter The Marrow, take the path up to your right and keep climbing until the background turns orange. Keep going up until there is no way forward, then move left and listen for humming. That hum is Shakra. I bought the Bone Bottom map for 40 Rosary Beads and The Marrow map for 50. More importantly, I picked up the Quill, Compass, Bench Pins, and Shell Markers. The Quill lets you update the map, and the Compass is a lifesaver for knowing where you are. If Shakra vanishes later, I found them again in the civilization area outside The Marrow, a little higher and to the right of the vendor. Deep Docks: Follow The Hum, It Is A Piece Of Cake After beating the Bell Beast and crossing the bridge above the lava, I entered Deep Docks. This one is straightforward, thank goodness. Move right until you see a bench sign pointing up, keep going right, and you will hear Shakra humming in the next section. Drop down to find them and buy the Deep Docks map for 50 Rosary Beads. I also grabbed the Bellway Pins here, which mark all the Bellways for fast travel. Trust me, those pins are worth their weight in gold once you start backtracking across the map. Far Fields: No Hum, So Use The Red Armor Rule Far Fields is the fourth biome, and I reached it after beating Lace in Deep Docks. Here is the catch: Shakra does not hum in this area, so I had to rely on landmarks. Go all the way right from the entrance, beat the three red-armored enemies on the way, then continue right into an open area with paths up, down, and right. Take the right path, and you will find Shakra in a small cave. The familiar rings along the route told me I was on the right track. The map costs 50 Rosary Beads. I will not pretend I found it on my first try; I absolutely took a wrong turn and had to double back. Greymoor: Just Fall For It After Far Fields and the glider, I entered Greymoor. The biome splits early: right leads to owl-type enemies, left leads to Pilgrims and other trouble. For the map, go right. After one loading screen to the right, fall down, and you will land near Shakra. The Greymoor map costs 70 Rosary Beads. I paid up without complaint because Greymoor is exactly the kind of place where wandering blind feels like a bad idea. Bellhart And Shellwood: The Elevator Trick After Greymoor, I reached Haunted Bellhart. There is not much to do there except head left into Shellwood. In Shellwood, keep going left until you hit a locked door, then climb up to reach the left side. Be warned: there is a trap room with a bunch of mobs near the bench, and it is not a chill little detour. Once you reach the left part, take the elevator down. When it opens, jump on top of it and go left. You will see an exit; take it, and Shakra is on the other side. I bought the Bellhart map for 40 Rosary Beads and the Shellwood map for 70. Two maps, one trip, no tears. Blasted Steps: Lever First, Shakra Second Blasted Steps ramps up the pain after the Widow fight.
