Players who go through the first act of Hollow Knight: Silksong will always look for Shakra the moment they enter a new region. She provides a map of each new area, which is extremely helpful for exploration. However, after Act Two, Shakra starts appearing less, and many areas will have a mechanism that sells the map for Rosaries.
Where To Find The Whispering Vaults Map In Silksong
You can find the Whispering Vaults Map shortly after leaving the rotating wheel bridge. It’s in a hidden area above Whispering Vaults that looks like an attic. This attic is also connected to the Choral Chambers’ Songclave area, right under the first shrine. That will provide easy access to the Whispering Vaults in Silksong.
Once you leave the rotating wheel bridge between Cogwork Core and Choral Chambers, you’ll enter the first Whispering Vaults room.
When you first arrive, you’ll soon be locked in a battle against multiple enemies. After winning the mini-boss fight, you can progress further into the Whispering Vaults area.
Continue moving forward until you reach a lone, large enemy guarding that area. Defeat it, then look for an iron pole ladder at the end of this place. Attack it, and it will fall, opening up the path into the attic. Hornet needs to wall jump her way into the attic using the iron pole ladder. So, it’s important to have the wall jumping skill in Silksong.
Once inside, go left and keep going to the end of the attic. The Whispering Vaults map should be at the end. You need to have at least 70 Rosaries to be able to buy the Whispering Vaults map in Silksong.
The Whispering Vaults is an interesting area since it’s home to many secrets, like the Pale Oil, which is an important item to complete the Pinmaster’s Oil quest in Silksong. It also provides shortcuts for multiple areas, such as Choral Chambers and Underworks.
