Navigating through the Kingdom in Hollow Knight Silksong can be a bit troublesome without any guidance due to its innate Metroidvania nature. I, personally, was puzzled for a few minutes until I received a map to pinpoint exactly where I am located.
Maps in Silksong aren’t something bestowed on you by progressing through the story; there’s a different method. If you’re wondering how you can get a map in Hollow Knight Silksong, this guide will help you with a detailed process.
Where to Buy Maps in Hollow Knight Silksong?
Similar to its predecessor, all maps must be purchased by an NPC named Shakra. You can initially find her in the upper left areas of The Marrows, and she can be heard singing when you’re nearing her. She acts hostile, but fret not, for that is her way to greet new adventurers.
Exhaust her dialogue to open Shakra’s shop which allows you to purchase the area maps in exchange for Rosaries. For Roasries, you can battle the hostile fleas and explore to find them hanging in corners. Shakra sells each map for 40 Rosaries.
Still, buying a map alone won’t show your location accurately. For that, purchase the compass for 50 Rosraies, which ultimately makes the exploration less tedious.
You can find Shakra in numerous areas of the map; She is on the move as you are. This entirely depends on your story’s progression.
