Where are Silksong Simple Keys? If you’ve been poking around in Pharloom’s nooks and crannies, odds are you’ve encountered mysterious locked doors chained with a simple padlock. It stands to reason that a simple padlock requires a simple key, but with no clues on how to find one, these heavy doors might remain locked for longer than you’d like.\n<\/p>\n

Just like in Hollow Knight, Simple Keys let you unlock new areas on the Silksong map<\/a>. While they’re not necessary to progress in Hollow Knight Silksong<\/a>, there are multiple benefits to unlocking these early shortcuts. Whether you’re on the hunt for the best crests or you just can’t abide a locked door in a Metroidvania game<\/a>, here’s how to find Silksong Simple Keys and use them wisely.<\/p>\n

\"Hornet<\/p>\n

All Silksong Simple Key locations<\/p>\n

There are four Simple Keys in Silksong, and you need to track down them all if you want to unlock the four shortcuts on the map.<\/p>\n

You can purchase a Simple Key from Pebb in Bone Bottom for 500 Rosaries. This is not the only Simple Key in Silksong, but it is the easiest and quickest way to get one in your playthrough. We won’t lie, this is an extortionate amount, so you might need to rely on our tried-and-tested Silksong Rosary farm<\/a> locations to save up enough to make the purchase.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

You can also find a Simple Key in Sinner’s Road. Retrieve this key by defeating the enemy in the tower on the top-right corner of the biome, but it demands that you complete a fiendish platform game<\/a> challenge to reach it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can pick up a Simple Key from the corpse sitting on the bench in Sands of Karak. This is one of the easiest Simple Keys to get in Silksong, but it does pop up quite far into your playthrough. The only bench in Sands of Karak is in the far right corner of the biome. We recommend heading north from the Grand Gate entrance rather than north from Blasted Steps to reach it quickly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can purchase a Simple Key from Jubilana in Songclave for 650 Rosaries. This final key costs a pretty penny (or rather, rosary) so pop those spare strings and necklaces if you have them. Jubilana is stationed next to the Wishwell, so you should have no trouble spotting her once you reach Songclave in the latter part of your playthrough.<\/p>\n

Where to use Simple Keys<\/p>\n

Here are the Simple Key door locations:<\/p>\n

Bone Bottom
\nDeep Docks
\nSinner’s Road
\nHigh Halls<\/p>\n

\"Hornet<\/p>\n

Bone Bottom<\/p>\n

Use a Simple Key on the locked door in Bone Bottom to open a shortcut through the Wormways that leads down to the Chapel of the Wanderer. This is the quickest way to get the Wanderer Crest, but it requires the Silksong Dash<\/a> ability to reach it.<\/p>\n

To reach the locked door, go to the elevator in Mosshome that leads to Bone Bottom, then head up and to the left. Jump and dash across the cages suspended across the gap, avoiding the flies as you go. Continue left and sprint past the mole. You can use the Simple Key on the locked door on the far left of the next screen.<\/p>\n

\"Hornet<\/p>\n

Deep Docks<\/p>\n

Use a Simple Key on the locked door in Deep Docks to open a shortcut to Far Fields and pick up Flintslate. This tool lets you imbue the Needle with fire and deal additional damage.<\/p>\n

To reach the locked door, head to the Deep Docks bench next to the Forge Daughter, but take the switch platforms down to the lower levels. Head right and use Hornet’s Dash skill to sprint and leap across the lava and reach the platform on the other side.<\/p>\n

\"Hornet<\/p>\n

Sinner’s Road<\/p>\n

Use a Simple Key on the locked door that imprisons the Green Prince in Sinner’s Road to begin his questline. His location is just below where you can find the Simple Key in this area.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

High Halls<\/p>\n

Use a Simple Key on the locked door in High Halls to access a rosary vault. This vast room is cloaked in darkness and includes multiple buzz saws to avoid and enemies to defeat.<\/p>\n

Three rosary chests are in the upper-left room, including one with a Pale Rosary Necklace inside it. Don’t forget the rosary strings hanging from the ceiling – they’re easy to miss in the dark. Finally, head down to the left and break open the false wall, wall jump past the steam vent, and hit the contraption in the room above to release the Rosary Cannon.<\/p>\n

The Silksong Simple Keys can help you cut down on how long Silksong<\/a> takes to beat, but there’s plenty more where that came from. Don’t forget to pick up the Silksong Needle upgrade<\/a> after you’ve rescued Bellhart from its plight, and use our strategies for Silksong bosses<\/a> to pass those pesky skill checks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Where are Silksong Simple Keys?
