How to Open Pilgrim’s Rest Door in Silksong

by

In the game Hollow Knight: Silksong, Pilgrim’s Rest is a specific area within Far Fields. This room features a metallic door that might catch players’ eyes, as it often produces a loud noise, hinting at an angry creature lurking behind it. Although it isn’t immediately clear how to open this door and confront the creature, this guide aims to provide some clarity for those feeling perplexed about unlocking the Pilgrim’s Rest door in Silksong.

To ensure players can open the door at Pilgrim’s Rest, it is recommended they possess three items: Swift Step, Drifter’s Cloak, and Cling Grip, before their attempt.

How to Unlock Pilgrim’s Rest Door in Silksong

The Bell Beast Room is the Key

To access the Pilgrim’s Rest door, players should first exit the room through the left doorway, then make their way down to the middle of the vertical room, and eventually enter the room that contains a bench and the Bell Beast located on the right side. For better understanding, the location of this specific room has been previously marked on the provided map.

As a fellow adventurer, I’d like to guide your attention towards the quaint platform positioned to the right of the mighty Bell Beast. To uncover the secret path, you should maneuver yourself beneath that platform and keep your direction right-aligned. There’s a hidden route waiting for us there!

Traverse the Obstacle Course

Players now need to navigate an obstacle course by jumping on red orbs with the Drifter’s Cloak for air rides and avoiding spikes. Although the required actions are mostly clear, successfully executing them can be challenging. For those finding it hard to finish the course, a helpful video might come in handy.

The Rhinogrund and the Switch

Towards the conclusion of the course, those who choose to move towards the left will come across a Rhinogrund. Shortly beyond this adversary, there’s a switch. Using Hornet’s needle to activate that switch will open the door leading to Pilgrim’s Rest.

After triggering the switch, if the player dies at the hands of Rhinogrund, the creature disappears. To log the Rhinogrund in their journal and collect its Beast Shard, players should defeat it before exiting through the Pilgrim’s Rest door.

Find the Lost Flea

To note, there is a Lost Flea very close to the Rhinogrund, and here is how to reach it:

  • After completing the obstacle course, head right instead of left towards the Rhinogrund.
  • Pass by some spools of silk and Cling Grip on the right wall to reach an alcove with the Lost Flea.
