Merchant Locations in Hollow Knight Silksong

In Hollow Knight: Silksong, merchants are NPCs that Hornet can find while exploring Pharloom. They sell items, equipment, and sometimes trade resources or materials. Some merchants also help by crafting or upgrading gear to make the journey easier. For now, we have found at least three merchants in the game. Here is the list:

1. Shakra’s First Location

Shakra is probably the first merchant you’ll meet, and she’s easy to spot because she sings while you’re nearby. This makes finding her much simpler than other traders in the game. Her first location is in the top-left part of the Marrow area. This is the list of what Shakra sells in the Marrow:

ItemCostWhat It Does
Mossland Map40 RosariesShows the Mossland area on your map
The Marrow Map50 RosariesReveals the marrow area layout on your map
Quill50 RosariesThis lets you add new areas to your map
Compass70 RosariesShows your current location on the map
Bench Pins60 RosariesThis Hollow Knight Silksong icon marks rest spots on your map
Shell Marker40 RosariesMarks important merchant locations

The maps and Quill are essential purchases. The Quill is especially important because it lets you fill in new areas on your maps as you explore.

2. Shakra’s Second Location

Later in the game, Shakra moves to Deep Docks. She still sells everything from before, plus some new, useful items. Here is the list of additional items at Deep Docks:

ItemCostWhat It Does
Deep Docks Map50 RosariesShows the Deep Docks area on your map
Bellway Pins60 RosariesThis one marks Bellway Beast fast travel stations on your map
Vendor Pins80 RosariesThese pins can help you mark Pharloom’s bugs (vendors), which have useful equipment and items to trade in the game
Ring Marker40 RosariesShows important locations of enemies and bosses

The Vendor Pins are incredibly helpful because they show you where all the traders are. This saves tons of time when you’re looking for specific items or upgrades.

3. Pebb

Pebb sits right on the surface of Bone Bottom, and you can’t miss him. He’s conveniently located next to the fast travel point, making him easy to visit whenever you need his goods.

Magnetite Brooch120 RosariesMakes picking up Rosaries much easier
Mask Shard300 RosariesGives you extra luck and health (defensive upgrade)
Craftmetal60 RosariesMaterial for crafting weapons and tools
Simple Key500 RosariesOpens something special in the Citadel
Rosary String80 RosariesKeeps your Rosaries safe when you die

The Rosary String is your top priority if you can afford it. This item prevents you from losing all your Rosaries when you die, which is a game-changer. Without it, every death sends you back to zero Rosaries, making progress incredibly slow.

4. Forge Daughter

The Forge Daughter specializes in building and upgrading your gear. She’s located in Deep Docks and offers some of the most important upgrades in the game.

Understanding where to find merchant locations in Hollow Knight Silksong makes the gameplay much more manageable. Focus on getting the Rosary String and basic maps first, then work your way up to the more expensive upgrades. With this knowledge, you’ll spend less time searching and more time enjoying the game’s challenging combat and exploration.
