Hollow Knight Silksong: Where To Find Shakra (All Map Merchant Locations)

Shakra is your map merchant in Hollow Knight Silksong, and this article mentions all the locations where you can find her.

Hollow Knight Silksong has a large map, and your first priority when you reach a new area should be to obtain its map. To do this, you will need to seek out Shakra, who is your cartographer and map merchant in Silksong. In most cases, Shakra’s location is not elusive at all, and you should be able to find her easily. Shakra also sells other crucial items like the Compass, which is extremely important as a beginner.

You can find Shakra in 14 different locations in Hollow Knight Silksong, each in a different region. Once you reach the Citadel, you will have to use a separate machine to get the maps of those areas instead. In this article, we will mention all the locations where you can find Shakra in Hollow Knight Silksong and purchase the maps.

Note: This article is a work in progress. We will add the remaining locations when we have more detailed information.

The Marrow

The first area you fall into is called the Mosslands. However, you will not be able to find the map of this area initially. Instead, once you beat the Moss Mother, you can proceed to a new area called the Marrow. As soon as you enter this region through Bone Bottom, keep going to the right side. You will reach the first shrine where you can insert 30 Rosaries to make a bench.

Keep going to the right, and you will come to a new area with some enemies. Progress ahead, while platforming upwards, and to the left. Here you will encounter some flying enemies. Dispatch them and move to the right side. You can now jump upwards into another area. This will be a long climb upwards, filled with crumbling platforms and some enemies. Once you reach the top, go left. Now keep going left, while jumping over any gaps in between. You will eventually hear Shakra’s voice, indicating you are close.

In The Marrow, Shakra has the following items in her stock:

Item	Price
Mosslands Map	40 Rosaries
Marrow Map	50 Rosaries
Quill	50 Rosaries
Compass	70 Rosaries

Deep Docks

This location is much easier to find than before. As soon as you exit the Marrow and enter the Deep Docks, keep going in a straight line. You will find a sign in between pointing to a Bench. You can take some elevators to save this resting spot, but it is unnecessary while trying to get the map.

Come back through the elevator, and keep going right. You will exit into a new area, and immediately hear Shakra’s voice again. Simply drop down from here, and you will see this merchant.

When you meet her in the Deep Docks, Shakra has the following items in her stock:

Item	Price
Deep Docks Map	50 Rosaries
Bellway Pins	60 Rosaries

Far Fields

From the previous location, there will be two exits to the Far Fields. Take the lower one and sprint to the right side. You will encounter lots of enemies (grounded and flying) on the way. You can choose to fight them, of course, but you can sprint past them for the sake of the map as well.

Keep proceeding to the right side until you come to a huge column area, with wind drafts flowing upwards. Shakra will be in a small pocket on the lower right side of this area.

Once again, Shakra will have some new items in her stock when you meet her in Far Fields:

Item	Price
Far Fields Map	40 Rosaries
Vendor Pins	80 Rosaries
Ring Marker	40 Rosaries

Greymoor

This might be the easiest place to find Shakra. You first emerge in Greymoor through the long wind current. When you reach the surface, simply go right and keep walking. You will hear Shakra’s tune soon enough, indicating she’s nearby.

You will be able to grab the Greymoor map and also utilize the resting spot nearby. Moreover, it is advised to clear the gauntlet of enemies to the right of this spot, as Shakra disappears along with the resting spot if you defeat this area’s main boss, Moorwing.

The following items can be bought from Shakra in Greymoor:

Item	Price
Greymoor Map	70 Rosaries

Bellhart

This area is under a curse when you first visit it, and Shakra will not be visible here initially. However, there is still a simple way you can get the map without defeating Widow.

Simply head back to Bone Bottom, climb up to Shakra’s initial location and hit her ringing bell (seen in the image above). She will appear from the shadows, and be ready to trade Bellhart’s map with you.

Here is Shakra’s inventory during the Bellhart encounter:

Item	Price
Bellhart Map	40 Rosaries

Shellwood

Reaching Shakra in Shellwood is a bit more complicated, and here are the steps to do so:

When you enter Shellwood, you will have to go to the left side, parkour up, and go through a gauntlet of enemies in a locked room.
Once that is done, take the elevator down, come back to the right side first and open the door blocking your way.
Proceed back to the left side, and Shakra will be in the passage on the lower side.

Shakra will only have one new item when you meet her in Shellwood:

Item	Price
Shellwood Map	60 Rosaries

Note: If you have not encountered Shakra in Bellhart and purchased the map, you will be able to get both Shellwood and Bellhart map from her in this encounter.

Wormways

Although there are two entrances to this region, one of them will be the recommended path you should take. This is the entrance from Shellwood. (You can enter using the Simple Key to open the door in the Mosslands as well, however that route will be quite long.)

From here, you will want to head to the left side, drop down a level, and go right.
Now, you will encounter a big fall with enemies dropping from the ceiling occasionally.
Use the gaps in the wall to hide until the enemies are gone. Then fall completely down (although you should avoid the spikes at the bottom), and turn left.
Jump over a gap, and you should meet your familiar friend, Shakra.

In case, Shakra is not present in this location for whatever reason (perhaps you progressed the campaign ahead, or have not yet made enough progress), simply head back to Bone Bottom and repeat the steps from the Bellhart map.

We will update this article with more regions once we encounter Shakra in Hollow Knight Silksong.
