Utilizing Craftmetal in Hollow Knight: Silksong

This rare material functions as transactional currency for acquiring specialized gear from the Forge Daughter, an artisan NPC dwelling in Deep Docks. Accessing her workshop requires defeating the Bell Beast guardian. Navigate to the pre-Lace confrontation zone post-victory, where mechanisms reveal subterranean pathways leading to her forge.
The vendor’s precise coordinates are illustrated on the accompanying map.

Available inventory includes:
- Sting Shard: 140 Rosaries + 1 Craftmetal – “A lethal spike mechanism? Though disturbing, we’ll craft it. Your destructive designs unsettle us.”
- Magma Bell: 110 Rosaries + 1 Craftmetal – “Our creation shields against scorching environments. Once sought by laborers, now ignored by minds adrift.”
Craftmetal Acquisition Methods

Purchase the first specimen from Bone Bottom’s merchant for 60 Rosaries. The second requires exploration of The Marrow’s northern quadrant (demolish a cracked wall near the Hornet marker) to uncover a concealed tunnel housing the material.
