This guide will walk you step by step through how to obtain the White Key and where to use it to unlock the Whiteward Entrance in Hollow Knight: Silksong.
Where to find White Key in Hollow Knight: Silksong
You’ll find the White Key in the Choral Chambers, specifically within the Songclave at the top-right section of the area. When you first arrive, the location appears as a simple building. If you explore this area during that stage, you’ll be able to claim the key directly at the end of the path.


However, if you missed picking up the White Key on your first visit and returned later, you may notice that the building has changed, now surrounded by a board and new details. In that case, the key will no longer be immediately available. Instead, you’ll need to complete the Wandering Merchant quest to receive it.
Where to use White Key in Hollow Knight: Silksong
Once you have the White Key, head back to the middle-lower section of the Choral Chambers and refer to the map. Continue moving right until you reach a distinctive white lock marked with a surgical symbol. Interact with it, and you’ll be able to use the White Key to unlock the mechanism. Doing so activates a lift, granting you access to the Whiteward Entrance.
