*Verdania* is a hidden endgame zone in _Hollow Knight: Silksong_, deeply tied to the Green Prince’s arc. Accessible in **Act 3**, this mist-shrouded region unlocks after progressing the main quest and aiding the Green Prince’s journey from Sinner’s Road to the Citadel. This guide covers how to access Verdania, its location, and key features.
Unlocking Verdania
Gaining entry requires:
-
Act 3 Completion: Defeat **Grand Mother Silk** to initiate the late-game phase.
-
Rescue the Green Prince: Locate his cage in **Sinner’s Road**. Use a **Simple Key** (found in Bone Bottom, Songclave, or Sands of Karak) to free him.
-
Track His Movements: He relocates to the **Citadel**, appearing near the High Halls, Choral Chambers, and Cogwork Dancer arena. Interact with him at each spot.
Once these steps are complete, a sealed wall east of **Greymoor** crumbles, granting passage to Verdania.
Locating Verdania
The entrance lies east of Greymoor, **only accessible in Act 3**. After triggering the Green Prince’s relocation, revisit the area to find the previously blocked path open.
Exploring Verdania
A verdant, lore-rich sanctuary, Verdania focuses on environmental storytelling rather than traditional rewards:
-
Exclusive Enemies: Encounter rare foes unique to this biome, essential for completing the bestiary.
-
Map Acquisition: Collect the area map from a spot near the Green Prince after exploration.
-
Lore Over Loot: No major upgrades like masks or spools—instead, uncover fragments of Pharloom’s history.
