As you journey through Hollow Knight: Silksong, you will encounter numerous quests known as “wishes.”These quests allow you to assist various beloved NPCs (non-playable characters) scattered around the game’s intriguing world. Among the notable quest-giving locations is the Wishwell located in Bone Bottom, a structure that Flick The Fixer was constructing when you arrived in town.
Once you have progressed far enough in the game, this Wishwell acts similarly to a bulletin board from other games, providing you the opportunity to browse and take on optional quests according to your preference. One of the initial quests available is titled Garb Of The Pilgrims. Although it’s relatively straightforward, I have some valuable tips to ensure you complete it quickly and efficiently to earn your rewards. Let’s dive in.
Initiating the Quest
After successfully freeing and defeating the Bell Beast, you can now utilize him as a fast travel option between various locations in Silksong. At this point, there are just two travel destinations available: The Marrow and Bone Bottom.
Hop onto your new fast-travel companion and return to Bone Bottom. Once you arrive, ascend to the surface to see that Flick The Fixer has completed the Wishwell! Interact with it using the d-pad to access the available quests.
Navigate to Garb Of The Pilgrims and accept the quest to activate it. Your task is to collect 12 pilgrim shawls, which are the garments worn by the eerie, zombie-like bugs you may have encountered earlier. Get ready for an adventure!
While you’re at the Wishwell, take a moment to check the Bone Bottom Repairs wish as well. You might already possess the 200 shell shards necessary to fulfill this quest.
Completing the Quest
Return to the fast travel cave on your left and ride the Bell Beast back to The Marrow. Once there, immediately head all the way to the left and exit the room.
Continue moving left across the entire screen until you reach Mosshome, which is the ideal area to farm the required twelve pilgrim shawls. Here, you’ll find four of the pilgrim enemies needed to complete your objective. Be vigilant around the two that shoot toxic green projectiles, as their attacks can be particularly challenging to dodge.
As you defeat the pilgrims, you will notice that they exhibit a change now that the Garb Of The Pilgrims wish has been activated.
Upon defeating a pilgrim, it will now glow and display a “Take”prompt when approached. Interacting with these glowing enemies rewards you with one pilgrim shawl each. Notably, there is a 100% drop rate for the shawls until you obtain all twelve needed, so ensure you collect from all four bodies to gather your loot.
Now while you might realize that four shawls won’t get you to twelve, remember that four times three equals twelve. Thus, you will need to repeat this process two additional times. Exit through the door you came in, but instead of returning to the Bell Beast, drop down into the glowing pit to access a resting bench you’ve encountered previously.
Resting at this bench will respawn all previously defeated enemies, so stand up and repeat the loop. Perform this cycle one last time to secure the full twelve pilgrim shawls.
Once you gather twelve shawls, the pilgrims will cease to drop them. However, the other pilgrims in the vicinity will still yield shawls, but this method is the fastest and safest since you are close to the bench and travel point upon completion.
Fast travel back to Bone Bottom and return to the surface. Interact with the Wishwell again, which will now provide a “Turn In”prompt for the shawls you’ve collected.
Rewards for Completing the Quest
You will receive a Rosary Necklace, which contains 120 rosaries that you can spend on various useful items. Consider keeping the necklace intact for the moment unless you wish to spend it right away at Pebb the merchant, who has some intriguing offerings in her shop nearby.
If you’re looking for other options, you might want to return to Shakra and purchase new maps or map-marking accessories. However, if nothing appeals to you immediately, it’s perfectly fine to hold onto the Rosary Necklace for future use, as there is no risk of losing it until you decide to spend it.
