In this guide, we’ll explore how you can reach Shellwood in Hollow Knight Silksong, which is one of the game’s major areas.
Shellwood in Hollow Knight Silksong is one of the major areas that Hornet will need to visit during her travels in the game. You will be able to access this particular region right after going through the Greymoor and Bellhart sections. As with all other areas, there’s much to see, explore, and find in Shellwood. This is also the area where you’ll find the Cling Grip ability. In the following guide, we’ll provide you with the exact approach you should take to reach Shellwood.
Where Is Shellwood in Hollow Knight Silksong?
Shellwood will be the third major region that you come across when you start your journey west from Greymoor. There aren’t any prerequisites to reaching Shellwood, apart from defeating the only major boss, Moorwing, in Greymoor. Once you do that, you can travel horizontally through Greymoor and Bellhart to finally reach Shellwood. Now, let’s understand exactly which route you need to take from Greymoor to reach Shellwood.

How To Reach Shellwood from Greymoor
Here is how you’ll reach Shellwood when starting from Greymoor.
Reach Greymoor’s Halfway Home
The Halfway Home is a tavern in Greymoor that you can visit. Once there, talk to the Beetle in charge to learn about a guest who wants to speak with you. Before proceeding to meet with this guest, use the bed on the right-side edge of the tavern to rest and rejuvenate.
On Your Way to Bellhart
Proceed west after exiting Halfway Home. You will enter a room where some enemies will surprise you. The three foes will include a Thread Raker and two Dreg Catchers. After defeating all three, you can continue on your journey towards Shellwood.
Get Through the Locked Gate
As you keep heading west, you will eventually reach the Greymoor borders. There, you will run into a locked gate, which seems inaccessible at first. However, all you need to do is go back to the room you came from. Then climb to the top of that building and head left when you reach the ramparts. Fight off a few Silk Snipper enemies.
After defeating them, you will reach wooden ramparts right above the locked gate. Use the Drifter’s Cloak to slowly drop down on the other side of the gate. Open the gate from this other side so that you can easily get through in the future.
Faceoff Against Moorwing
After you get past the locked gate, you will come face to face with a major boss, Moorwing. Defeating this enemy is crucial if you want to continue your journey into Bellhart and then reach Shellwood. After the boss fight, a small cutscene plays to give you a clue about what you’ll probably face in the haunted region of Bellhart.
Reaching Shellwood from Bellhart
You can simply head west after entering the Bellhart region to eventually reach Shellwood. You don’t have to face off against any other major bosses blocking your way during this trek. However, the journey will seem easier if you have access to the maps of both these regions. You can purchase those maps from Shakra, the Map Merchant.
