While traversing Hollow Knight: Silksong’s labyrinthine realms, numerous NPCs cross your path. Among them lies Grindle, an inmate confined within The Marrow’s depths. Though he openly admits his imprisonment stems from theft, his release merits careful consideration.

Consequences of Liberating Grindle in Silksong’s Marrow District

Destroying Grindle’s cell barrier grants access to the Straight Pin – a projectile weapon ideal for ranged combat. This tool appears unobtainable without releasing the captive. Upon resting and returning, you’ll find Grindle roaming freely. Exchanging Rosaries for cryptic clues becomes possible, though these hints prove less actionable than direct exploration.

The thief’s intelligence offers broad suggestions rather than concrete map markers. While no immediate negative repercussions emerge, future updates might reveal unforeseen consequences resembling classic betrayal archetypes seen in similar games.
