You’ll find Rosaries throughout your journey by defeating different enemies, along with scavenging them from specific locations. You can then use it to get important items like maps of regions, a compass, and more. If you die, however, you’ll end up losing these precious resources, and that’s where the Rosary String comes in.

What is a Rosary String in Hollow Knight Silksong?

In simple terms, a Rosary String is a stack of isolated Rosaries that you find on your adventures. When you find Rosaries, they’re loose and can fall as well. This can also happen if you have them in your inventory and die.

Unlike the loose Rosaries, you can’t lose a Rosary String. They’re counted as consumables and remain in your inventory. Not only do they prevent you from losing your Rosaries, but they also provide you with the resource when required, at the correct moment.

The easiest way to get a Rosary String is from the shop at Bone Bottom. You’ll have to provide 80 Rosaries, and they will be returned with a Rosary String. Once added to your inventory, they will be safe even if you die.

Also, the Rosary String is different from a Frayed Rosary String, but it works in the same fashion. The Frayed Rosary String offers you fewer Rosaries (30 when you break them) and can be found in specific locations. Just like the standard variant, the Frayed variant stays intact as well upon death, so you have no risk of losing them.

Do note that it costs 80 Rosaries to make a string, but you get back only 60 when you break them.
