Hollow Knight Silksong: How to Reach Weavenest Atla

Weavenest Atla in Hollow Knight Silksong is a secret area that you have to unlock using an Ancestral Art. To unlock this region, you have to first defeat Widow and get the special ability called Needolin, which allows Hornet to make use of her Weaver lineage. 

This secret area not only features a boss fight, but also an NPC named Eva, who can empower Hornet by granting her additional abilities. However, all this can easily be missed if you don’t actively explore every corner of Pharloom. To help you, here’s how you can reach Weavenest Atla and talk with Eva in Hollow Knight Silksong. 

Location of Weavenest Atla in Hollow Knight Silksong 

The Weavenest Atla in Silksong is behind a door you can find very early on in Moss Grotto, the starting region. It is located on the right side of the lower grotto, past several platforms with white, spinning bugs. To unlock the door, stand in front of it and use the Needolin to play a tune till the entrance starts glowing and unlocks.

The place you unlock is the upper part of Weavenest Atla, and has no enemies to worry about. Run to the far right side of the map and hit two protruding batteries on the roof to restore power in the area. You can return to the previous room and stand in the center of the floor to use the elevator to unlock the rest of the place.

Eva and Hidden Grotto in Hollow Knight Silksong 

On the lower floor of Weavenest Atla, you can proceed either to the right or left to access new areas. By going right and dropping down, you get to meet Eva, a very unique NPC. She is a creature in a lab tube who seems to be aware of your Weaver lineage. Eva can upgrade your Hunter’s Crest and give you independent tool slots depending on how many Crests you have acquired.

If you choose to go left, you can find a bench and a small lake. There is a hidden opening underneath the left wall that you can swim through to reach Hidden Grotto. At the end of the area, you can take on the Twin Moss Mother boss fight. In this fight, you have to simultaneously fight two Moss Mothers, the first boss you fight in this game. Winning gives you the Weavelight blue tool, which generates extra silk when equipped.
