Follow the given steps:

  • Jump up and use the Faydown Cloak from Point A to reach B.
  • As soon as you reach Point B, head right. Keep heading in a straight line while defeating or avoiding enemies.
  • Drop down and head right once you reach Point C.
  • Once you hit the wall at Point D, simply jump upwards using the Faydown Cloak. It might take a few tries, but you’ll discover a hidden path through the roof, which you can jump into, and immediately turn right to hit a lever.
  • This will open a door and let you drop down. Just keep running until you reach the last Point E.
  • This will be your hardest test yet. You must use the Faydown Cloak, Cling Grip, and Clawline all together so that you can jump onto the upper level by grabbing onto the wall.
  • Proceed right and you will have reached the destination, the Putrified Ducts.

That was everything to know regarding reaching the Putrified Ducts in Hollow Knight: Silksong.
