Having all maps is essential for 100% Completion in Hollow Knight: Silksong. After getting every map, Shakra will offer Wish: Trail's End. Complete it for a Throwing Ring - a red Tool. Use our 100% Completion checklist to track your progress.
Some maps are sold by Shakra, others are found or bought from Citadel machines. Locations close to Shakra are indicated with throwing rings on the ground in the surrounding areas. You can call Shakra anytime by hitting the bronze rings in Bellhart and access her shop.
Shakra and Her Shop: Shakra is the cartographer of Pharloom who sells maps throughout your journey. You can call her in Bellhart by hitting the bronze rings in the area, and her shop can be accessed anytime. Her shop inventory includes:
- Compass - Costs 50 Rosaries. A yellow tool required for 100% Completion, but it primarily shows your position on the map.
- Quill - Costs 70 Rosaries. Allows you to chart discovered rooms and areas after sitting on a bench.
- Pins - Costs 40-80 Rosaries. The Bench Pin, Bellway, Ventrica, and Vendor pins are automatically placed items on the map that show exact locations of every discovered bench, bellway station, ventrica lift, and merchant.
- Markers - Costs 40-120 Rosaries. Buy and use Markers to manually place them on the map and mark important paths or so far inaccessible areas to return to later.
Buying the Compass is required for 100% Completion. Buying every map is necessary too, as it leads to a new Wish: Trail's End in Bellhart. This requires tracking Shakra deep into Bilewater, where she finally meets her master in a heartbreaking sequence. You get Throwing Rings - a red Tool item also necessary for 100% completion.
