If you’re starting off in Hollow Knight Silksong, you’re likely to easily get lost early on with the winding paths and large chambers. The need for a map is evident quite early on, but it can take you a while to get one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how to find and open the map in Hollow Knight Silksong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Open the Map in Silksong<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To open up the map, you can simply press LB on the controller or the Tab key on mouse and keyboard. Pressing the M button or the back button opens up the world map. However, you won’t initially have a map to open, and will need to purchase it from Shakra the singing bug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Find the Map in Silksong<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can purchase the map and other mapping components from Shakra, who is located near the top left region of Bone Marrow. This is also the top right region of Bone Bottom and the place where both regions meet. You’ll know you’re near her when you can hear a female bug singing “Lai Lai Lai”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
