Wanderer’s Walkthrough Step Chapel:
- Buy a simple key from PEBB.
- Take a leap of faith.
- Bypass (or kill) a giant worm mini boss.
- Drop down to collect mask shards.
- Enter the Wormway and follow the first path.
- Pass through the Wanderer’s Chapel.
- Survive the Gauntlet and earn the Wanderer’s Coat of Arms.
- Leave the chapel and return to the bottom of the bone.
1. Buy a simple key from PEBB.
The important first step you need before this part of the walkthrough is: After collecting 500X Rosary Beads, you need to head to the bone-bottom village and buy a simple key from Pebb, the trader.
If you follow along with our walkthrough and explore every corner, you should have had enough (or very sufficient) rosary for this by now. Without a simple key, it’s best to come back to this part of the walkthrough later.

What if I don’t have a 500 rosary?




2. Take a leap of faith.
With a simple key in hand, return the elevator or Belbeast to Moss Home and head to the high cliff shelf on the left.

If you pop out from the far left edge as much as possible, you’ll land on a very small platform. Beware of insects around as falling at this point is irritating (but you can return the elevator). Jump left again and attack to the bottom left, regardless of whether you jump from the insects from the pogo or reach the lower shelf with the rosary cache. Climb up and leave the room on the left.


You can also pogo jumping from flying enemies to reach this same location just above the elevator. This is fine for veteran players. That’s not the case for newcomers. That’s why I suggest following the “leap of faith” approach from high prices.
3. Bypass (or kill) a giant worm mini boss.

The next room is a long corridor guarded by a very dangerous mini boss. A giant worm that quickly craps along the ceiling, regularly spits out a large number of green spheres.
It takes time to hide under the platform and run between vomiting. Continue carefully to the far end and pass through the door to the next room.
Do you want to kill a giant worm instead? …


4. Drop down to collect mask shards.

In the next room you will notice that you are facing a large locked door. Before you can interact with it, jump down the hole in front of you and fall into the water (don’t worry, it won’t hurt you).
Attack the wall on the right to reveal a small hidden area containing the first mask shard. Collecting four mask shards will increase Hornet’s Max Health permanently than 1, making it a very valuable resource to track it as much as possible.
5. Enter the Wormway and descend the first pass.
Go back to the locked door and unlock it using a simple key purchased from PEBB. Head to the new area – Wormway.

This is a dangerous area for your current level, so you just need to go through it to reach a new area of Moss Cave. Jump over the spikes and time the worm runs to avoid firing from the ceiling to the wormway’s cave floor. Drop the first hole you see.
Tip: Bang the worms to refill your silk!
Continue down the dark, winding road. Whenever the path beneath the worm is blocked, whenever it is lying down, push the far wall to enter the next part of the tunnel. Otherwise, you could end up with spikes.


Along the way there are side passages that lead to a sparkling blue sphere. You can attack and destroy it. Then it will play. I’m not going to do anything for now, so continue down the aisle until it’s off-screen.

Once you reach the mossy terrain again, lower it to the bottom and you’ll find a bridge overlooking the pond.

6. Pass through the Wanderer’s Chapel.
Pass through the pond on the left and you will find the entrance to the building. You will pass through it and appear in a small dungeon, the chapel of the Wanderers.

This dungeon is so small that it only takes a minute or two to fully explore. The path on the left leads to some hanging rosary beads, but be aware of the ropes that connect to the spike traps on the floor when hacking. Then go back and head down the path to the right. Part of the floor will collapse as you walk over it. Drop down and head left.


7. Survive the gauntlet to acquire the coat of arms of the Wanderer.
The next room is a small arena. As you approach the centre, you will lock and begin to throw a variety of pilgrim enemies, including some of the slightly more sturdy variations you’ve never seen before.

After defeating them all, continue below the left to the bottom of the chapel. There you can claim your reward: the coat of arms of Wanderer.

Crest changes the Hornet move set in a variety of ways. Wanderer’s coat of arms turns Hornet’s attack faster (though at a shorter range) and her downward diagonal attack into a much simpler straight down attack on the original Hollow Knight. If you’ve ever struggled with Pogo, the Wanderer’s Coat of Arms may be your salvation!
8. Leave the chapel and return to the bottom of the bone.
Return to the passage where you just fell down below, fall all the way to the top and break the floor above you for a shortcut back to the passage on your left. Climb out of the Wanderer’s Chapel.
Once you enter the Overworld, several more pilgrim enemies will create both sides of you – a good chance to try out the new Hornet move set and pogo attacks.

Once they’ve been dealt with, go all the way to the right and attack the door at the edge of the room to open it. You will be back to the maids in the chapel who resurrected you after the Cave of Moss. Talk to her for some new dialogue and then go back to the bottom of the bone for a well-earned rest.


And that’s because of part 4, which focuses on this detour of our silk song walkthrough. In the next part, we’ll bring us back to our main path and brand new region. Take part in part 5 walkthroughs as you guide us through the Deep Dock.
