Cross-stitched Enhancements for Silksong's Needle and the Hidden Stash Spots for Pale Oil
In the captivating world of Hollow Knight: Silksong, players are introduced to a myriad of challenges, rewards, and intriguing characters. Here's a guide to help you navigate some of the game's key elements, such as Pale Oil, Fleas, and various items.
Pale Oil
Pale Oil, a crucial resource in Silksong, can be found in three locations. The first Pale Oil is hidden behind a moving platform puzzle on the left side of Whispering Vaults. The second Pale Oil is a reward for completing the "Great Taste of Pharloom" Wish for Loyal Mergwin in Choral Chambers. The third Pale Oil is a reward from the Fleamaster for finding every Flea in Silksong and progressing to the celebration in Act 3. The final Pale Oil is rewarded by completing every minigame at the Flea Caravan's celebration party in Act 3.
Fleas
To find all Silksong fleas, speak with NPC Vog in the Putrified Ducts, who sells Flea maps revealing their locations. Each Flea you find will bring you one step closer to unlocking Pinmaster Plinney, an NPC found in Bellhart who provides Needle upgrades.
Pinmaster Plinney and Needle Upgrades
Pinmaster Plinney's first upgrade increases the damage of your Needle permanently. To unlock Pinmaster Plinney, you must beat the Silksong Widow boss fight.
Items
The Crustnut is found at the end of the platforming challenge beneath the path leading to the Choral Tower in Sands of Karak. The Courier's Rasher is obtained after saving Bellhart and completing the "My Missing Brother" Wish in Bellhart. The Pickled Muckmaggot is earned by slaying the boss Disgraced Chef Lugoli in Sinner's Road.
Whispering Vaults Pale Oil
To collect the Whispering Vaults Pale Oil, approach it from the right side as the left route is initially blocked off. This Pale Oil can also be collected with the Silksong wall jump ability.
Vintage Nectar and Mossberry Stew
Vintage Nectar is found at the Halfway House in Greymoor for a costly 480 Rosaries. The Mossberry Stew is found in Northeast Mosshome by speaking to the Moss Druid.
The Silksong Slab and Apostate Key
The Silksong Slab and Apostate Key can be learned about here, providing valuable insights into the game's lore and progression.
The Fleamaster and the Mire
The Fleamaster in Hollow Knight: Silksong is located in the Mire area; the three Pale Oil locations nearby can be found by exploring the surrounding mushroom forests and mining specific nodes or defeating certain enemies that drop Pale Oil.
