In *Hollow Knight: Silksong*, Hornet will encounter a huge variety of enemies as she explores the world of Pharloom, from the deepest areas to the highest peaks. Early in the game, you’ll meet Nuu, an NPC who gives you a Hunter’s Journal and asks you to document all 234 creatures in it. This guide provides a complete list of all enemies in *Hollow Knight: Silksong* and explains how to finish the “Bugs of Pharloom” quest and fully complete the Hunter’s Journal, earning both the Hunter’s Memento and the True Hunter achievement/trophy.

Exploration and Progression:

After you get the Hunter’s Journal, Nuu will ask you to start documenting the creatures of Pharloom. Doing so begins the “Bugs of Pharloom” quest, where you need to find 100 different creatures. You can discover any 100 creatures you like to complete the quest – it’s all about finding enough unique species.

There’s no single fastest way to finish the “Bugs of Pharloom” quest. Once you agree to help Nuu, every enemy you defeat brings you closer to completion. At this point in the game, your best bet is to simply keep exploring Pharloom. The more of the area you search, the quicker you’ll finish the quest.

Bugs of Pharloom Reward:

Once you finish the quest “Bugs of Pharloom,” you’ll unlock an upgrade to your Crafting Kit. This lets Hornet carry and make more of each tool.
