Hollow Knight Silksong expands the interconnected world of Pharloom with areas that test both platforming and combat skills. Memorium is one of the areas inside the Citadel that serves as a gateway to other regions. This area acts as a hub that uses Hornet’s additional abilities to access.

Reaching the Memorium requires upgrades like the Faydown Cloak and progressing through some of the game’s more challenging levels. It is designed for the mid-to-late-game phase of Silksong. In this article, we explain how you can navigate to this area and find its map.

To access the Memorium, you must first obtain two key abilities:

  • Clawline: Found on the eastern side of the Underworks area. This ability allows Hornet to grip and climb walls.
  • Faydown Cloak: This ability is acquired by climbing to the peak of Mount Fay using the Clawline. It gives you more mobility options and is important for reaching certain areas with double jumps.

After scaling Mount Fay and unlocking Double Jump, go to the top of the Citadel to reach the Choral Chambers. In the top-right section of the Choral Chambers, there is a platform only accessible with the Faydown Cloak. Use this platform to ascend into the Memorium entrance with the Double Jump ability.

Upon entering the Memorium, head right towards a Bench to rest and save progress. Exit the room and move up, then right through a passage with high-tier enemies. Turn left to go through another passage, then move down and head right until you see a sign. Inside, you will come across a Machine that sells the Memorium map for 70 Rosaries. Interact with the Machine to buy the map. This gives you further clarity on the Memorium area of the map.
