Hollow Knight Silksong map guide

Navigating Pharloom’s labyrinthine terrain demands cartographic assistance. Unlocking full region visibility requires significant exploration and resource investment, with mechanical vendors and hidden fragments providing mapping solutions.

Acquiring Cartographic Resources

Regional traders offer navigational charts in exchange for collected rosary beads, though select zones contain cartographic items accessible through environmental exploration rather than commerce.
