Hollow Knight Silksong’s Flea Juggling minigame combines absurd charm with technical skill. While appearing lighthearted, this Flea Caravan challenge demands precision to master. Below, learn how to activate it, optimize strategies, and claim its exclusive rewards.

Starting the Flea Juggling Challenge

To begin, locate **Fleamaster Mooshka** at the Flea Caravan. This wandering group first appears in **The Marrow** after rescuing one Lost Flea. Progressing the quest shifts the caravan’s location—track its movements across Pharloom in later acts.

Mastering the Mechanics

The core goal: bounce fleas with Hornet’s needle to build combos. Three missed fleas end the round, with higher tiers requiring bigger combos.

• **Lateral swings** dictate landing zones for fleas.

• **Dash-forward swings** can salvage near drops.

• **Up slashes** create air time but scatter fleas—use cautiously.

• **Group fleas** together by hitting them in one direction.

Locating the Flea Caravan

• 🔹 Greymoor: Final location after completing the quest

• 🔹 Far Fields: Accessible after rescuing four Lost Fleas

• 🔹 Deep Docks: Unlocked with two rescued fleas

• 🔹 The Marrow: Initial meeting point

Pro Strategies

• **Match flea entry rhythm** with your swing timing.

• **Avoid jumping**—grounded play ensures stability.

• Equip the **Wanderer Crest** for faster strikes.

• **Longclaw upgrades** extend needle reach for recovery.

• **Herd fleas to one side** to simplify juggling.

• **Up slashes** are high-risk—reserve for emergencies.

Reward Breakdown

• 🌼 Master Tier (30 hits): Tool Pouch upgrade or Egg of Flealia (post-quest)

• ⚡ Intermediate Tier (20 hits): Flea Brew (temporary speed boost)

• 💎 Beginner Tier (10 hits): 5 Rosaries

Flea Brew can be replenished for Geo, while the **Egg of Flealia** reduces Silk Skill costs at full health—ideal for aggressive playstyles.
