Given the premium nature of the item, many are likely wondering whether they should insert 30 Rosaries when prompted into a shrine in Hollow Knight Silksong. Rosary is a new type of currency in Hollow Knight’s sequel that is not easy to come by. In the in-game world, they can sometimes be found hanging from the ceiling or on the corpses of fallen bugs. Some bugs also drop them upon being defeated. Our Hollow Knight Silksong: Rosary Farming Guide will help you have an easier time.

With all the work you need to do to gather these, it’s natural to ask whether you should spend 30 Rosaries or not. Also, if you are having a hard time or are new to the Hollow Knight franchise, go through our Hollow Knight Silksong: Best Beginner’s Guide to learn all you need to know.

Should You Give 30 Rosaries to the Shrine in Hollow Knight Silksong?

The simple answer is yes, you should use 30 Rosaries into the shrine when prompted in Hollow Knight Silksong. This is a recurring choice that will appear throughout the game. Generally, each area has some designated benches where you can rest to save the game in Silksong. However, some special areas also offer you a choice, where you can spend 30 Rosaries to create a permanent Resting Bench.

It is in your best interest to always opt to create these Resting Benches using Rosary. These not only act as an extra save point, but can save you a long travel. In case you do not have the 30 Rosary to create this bench, look around to see if there are enemies you can kill to farm this item instead. Once you have the necessary amount, prioritize spending the required amount to create the bench. Each area generally has one such bench that you can create using your Rosary in Hollow Knight Silksong.

The long answer is not as straightforward. While there is no harm in an extra save point in, it can also land you in trouble sometimes. Notably, it can deplete your resources if you are near Shakra, the merchant. Shakra sells maps for each area, and these require a substantial amount of Rosary as well. Unless you properly manage your resources, spending a Rosary to create a bench at all times might not be a wise move.

The final decision comes down to whether you need to be healed at that point in your playthrough and want a save point.
