Hey there, fellow wanderer! Have you ever found yourself lost in the twisting corridors of Pharloom, wishing you had a map? I know I have. In Hollow Knight: Silksong, there are 28 maps to collect, and let me tell you, they make all the difference. Whether you’re buying from Shakra or hunting down hidden devices, this guide will help you become a master cartographer. So, grab your needle, and let’s dive in!

First things first: Shakra. She’s that fierce warrior you’ll hear singing or see leaving a trail of Throwing Rings. You can buy half the maps from her. But from Act 2 onward, you’ll also find maps by interacting with strange devices or picking them up in map rooms. If you’re short on Rosaries when you first meet her, don’t worry—you can always buy the map later when you run into her again. Just be prepared to navigate without one for a while, which can be tricky!

Now, let’s break down all 28 maps. I’ve organized them into a handy table so you can quickly find what you need. Remember, the prices are in Rosaries, and the locations are relative to landmarks like benches or Bellways.
