How to Unlock the Map in Silksong

by

In the initial stages of Silksong, following Hornet’s descent from the bridge into Moss Grotto, players don’t immediately receive a map to navigate Pharloom. Instead, they need to accumulate Rosaries and buy their first map from a certain NPC in The Marrow, which helps them begin plotting their journey through Pharloom.

Similar to the vendor in the game ‘Hollow Knight’, this character also offers items that aid Hornet’s exploration, such as equivalents of the Compass, Quill, and different Map Markers. This guide provides instructions on obtaining a map in ‘Silksong’ and details other items you can acquire to start charting Pharloom’s world.

Where To Get A Map in Silksong

To get a map, Silksong players must get to The Marrow, the second major area of the game.

  1. From Moss Grotto, defeat the Moss Mother to get to Bone Bottom, then go right until you reach Sharma and a large Bone Gate.
  2. Go above and around the Bone Gate to open it from the other side, then continue right.
  3. In the next room, platform to the top-right, then go up and left until you reach a chasm. You should pass the Flea Caravan. Go to the top-left of this room, then continue left.
  4. In the next room, jump across the bells and continue left until you hear the sound of someone singing. Here, you will meet Shakra for the first time.

Following her introduction, this warrior-cartographer will present a variety of items in trade for rosaries – among these, the initial map that Silksong players can acquire. The Map of Mosslands is priced at 40 Rosaries, whereas the Map of the Marrow goes for 50 Rosaries.

If your supply of rosary beads is running low, check nearby locations for hidden stashes as well as potential opponents. Defeating these opponents might result in additional rosaries being dropped. Also, there’s a secret chamber above the Flea Caravan that contains 24 rosary beads.

By acquiring one of these maps, you’ll acquire the capability to open your map using the left bumper on your controller. Additionally, this purchase will grant you access to the Map tab in your status menu. This tab presents a complete view of the explored regions within Pharloom, rather than just the current area.

Shakra Also Sells Important Mapping Tools

Shakra offers various items that are handy for creating maps such as a compass, quill, and markers for maps. Getting these items early is beneficial as they help determine your location on the map and mark places you’ve explored.

  • The Compass is a yellow Tool that will show your location on the map, but only while equipped.
    • Cost: 70 Rosaries
  • The Quill is a passive item that allows Hornet to update her map with details on visited locations whenever she sits at a bench.
    • Cost: 50 Rosaries
  • Bench Pins will mark any discovered Benches on your map with a unique pin
    • Cost: 60 Rosaries
  • Shell Markers can be placed anywhere on your map to indicate custom locations, like the location of an obstacle you plan to return to later.
    • Cost: 40 Rosaries

Where To Get More Maps In Silksong

As the game begins, Shakra serves as your main tool for obtaining maps of new regions, however, it’s important to note that she is not the sole provider of maps in Silksong. For instance, during the commencement of Act 2, Hornet might stumble upon a map leading to a fresh area on a signpost.

As you delve into unexplored areas within Silksong, stay alert for crucial items scattered around and be attentive to the sound of Shakra’s melody, which will guide you towards discovering hidden maps.
