How to reach Crull and Benjin

Step 1

Head to Sinner’s Road, traveling northeast from Greymoor or using the leftmost entrance from any major adjacent area.

Step 2

Find the Sinner's Road bench and travel two rooms to the east (right). Note the distinct hanging boxes and platforms in this area.

Step 3

In the room with swinging traps, use Hornet's Cling Grip (wall jump) on the left side. Pogo off of floating or moving spike traps to progress vertically.

Step 4

Find a door or passage in the upper right of the room.

Step 5

Enter the hut at this end; Crull and Benjin are inside, waiting to talk.

If you arrive early in the game, you can interact with Crull and Benjin directly in their hut. However, if you reach this point during Act 3 while the quest is active, you may instead find them already dead. In that case, the player is only able to collect their belongings, which changes how the quest and their story unfold.

When exploring Sinner's Road, keep an eye out for hidden platforms and vertical routes. Crull and Benjin's hut is tucked away, but reaching it opens up critical quests and upgrades in Hollow Knight: Silksong.
