The Balm for the Wounded quest in Hollow Knight: Silksong tasks you with tracking down Sherma. This guide will walk you through where to find Sherma, how to start the quest, and how to complete the quest.
Starting Location
You can begin the quest by picking it up at the quest board located in the Songclave at the top-right corner of the Coral Chambers. In this quest, your task is to track down Sherma in the White Ward area.
Where to Find Sherma in Hollow Knight Silksong
After accepting the quest, you can use the nearby Ventrica device to fast travel to the Coral Chambers. Once you arrive at Coral Chambers, head all the way to the right on a mostly straight path. Eventually, you’ll reach the White Ward entrance (refer to the map).
To enter White Ward, you’ll need to use your White Key, which unlocks an elevator. Use the elevator to reach the bottom of the area.
Now, head left until you reach the end, and then start to climb upward. Next, follow the path to the right, going past the steam vents and spinning blades. Keep heading right after reaching the top (refer to the map).
Go past the elevator vent that you used earlier while going down. Continue right and then drop down at the first available option.
At the bottom, you’ll find a trackable item that will guide you toward Sherma’s location.
Follow the trace mark and continue rightward until you reach an area where you can climb upward. Once at the top, move left and enter a building.
Now, follow the path to the right till the end and break open the wall. This is where you’ll finally discover and talk to Sherma.
This will trigger a short combat, and once you defeat all the enemies, you’ll be able to speak with Sherma again. This will end the quest.
