Exploring a new area in Hollow Knight: Silksong can be overwhelming without a map or compass. In this guide, we’ll show you where to find maps for both the Mosslands and the Marrow, as well as the exact location of the compass.
After defeating your first boss in the Moss Grotto and making your way through the town of Bone Bottom to reach the ‘The Marrow‘ area.

From ‘The Marrow’, start traveling upwards and to the left to reach a room full of enemies. Defeat all of them to unlock the passage leading down. Refer to the image below. Once the new path is open, drop into the lower area and follow the right-hand path.

Continue pressing forward through the lava section, then climb upward and head left. Eventually, you’ll enter a zone filled with crumbling platforms that collapse beneath you but reform after a short time. Keep climbing higher and moving left until you begin to hear the faint sound of singing echoing.

Following the voice will lead you to Shakra, a merchant. She offers to sell you maps in exchange for Rosary Beads. Alongside detailed maps of regions like the Mosslands and the Marrow, Shakra also sells a compass.
