Are you eager to find all Simple Keys in Hollow Knight: Silksong? These items are actually fairly special since they’re found in specific locations in the game world. Moreover, they also open pathways and locks that lead to even more goodies.

Where to find and use all Simple Keys in Hollow Knight: Silksong

There are four Simple Keys in the game. We’ve organized our guide so that we initially discuss the locations of these tools. Then, we delve further to talk about the places where you can actually make use of them.

Note: Some of the NPCs that have these Simple Keys also offer Mask Shards, which upgrade your maximum health.

There’s also another vendor who sells a Simple Key. Her name is Jubilana, but finding her is a bit tricky:

• When you reach Songclave/First Shrine, Jubilana won’t be there yet.
• You must interact with the bulletin board to get the Wandering Merchant quest.
• Rescue Jubilana, who’s trapped in the left side tower in Choral Chambers. We’ve marked the location with a star icon.
• Return to Songclave and talk to Jubilana. You should be able to purchase the Simple Key for 650x Rosaries.

Finding this Hollow Knight: Silksong Simple Key might take a while. Here’s the gist:

• In Greymoor, activate the elevator near the Halfway House inn. Ride it to the top and get ready to do a bit of platforming.
• Pogo and dash across the gap and continue climbing to the top. Take the top-right exit to arrive at Sinner’s Road.
• The Sinner’s Road sub-zone has grimy bodies of water filled with maggots. Just wading in causes your character to lose stamina until you rest on a bench.
• Keep advancing until you reach the top-right section of the map. Defeat the Roachkeeper enemy that spawns to pick up your reward.

The fourth and final Simple Key can be found in the Sands of Karak, which is connected to the Blasted Sands region:

• Go to the location of the Pinstress NPC. Then, use your Clawline Grapple to reach the hidden exit at the top.
• Sands of Karak has a unique exploration-related theme where you cause seeds to grow into tree branches. These create platforms and pogo surfaces, but they also disappear after a few seconds. Several obstacles here can be destroyed, but they have spikes that deal damage to your character.
• The goal is to reach the far-right section of the zone. You’ll find the Simple Key on a corpse that’s sitting on a bench.

You can use the Simple Keys in Hollow Knight: Silksong whenever you wish. That said, we’ve opted to organize this part to focus on the areas that tend to be closer to the starting point.

The first place that lets you use this item is the connecting path between Mosshome and Wormways. The idea is to reach the section of Mosshome that has an elevator. Use your dash or pogo maneuver to cross the gap. Then, unlock the door that leads to the Wormways zone.

Sinner’s Road is a dangerous place. But if you already obtained the Simple Key in that zone, then you might as well use it to help out an NPC. This fella is the Green Prince, who’s been caged in one of the earlier rooms–you’ve probably seen him while exploring this area.

Glide/float past the spikes, then unlock his cell. He’ll thank you for your help, while adding that he’ll be leaving, too. Here’s the kicker: The Green Prince does factor into a late-game segment. However, you must gain access to the game’s super secret Act 3 if you wish to see him again.

That does it for our guide on where to find and use all Simple Keys in Hollow Knight: Silksong. We hope this article helps you acquire more goodies and rewards during your playthrough. Don’t forget to scour the lands for other interesting stuff, such as Mask Shards, Shakra maps, and Lost Fleas.
