On the hunt for secrets in Hollow Knight: Silksong? The Weavenest Murglin holds essential upgrades, but it’s one of the trickiest spots to reach and conquer. Here’s a step-by-step look at how to get there, what you’ll face, and what you’ll gain for your efforts.

Weavenest Murglin location: How to get to it

To reach Weavenest Murglin, head to the Bilewater region. Locate the metal door—this is where things get interesting. You’ll need to perform a special Needle Tune at the door, which only becomes available after acquiring the right skill, so make sure you’ve progressed far enough in the story. Once the tune is played, the door will open, allowing access to the inner chamber.

Inside, beware: the region is notorious for its aggressive enemies. Equipping helpful items like the Wreath (which protects against maggots) can reduce damage from some of the area’s hazards.

Weavenest Murglin Map layout and navigation tips

The Weavenest Murglin area is compact but dangerous. Drop down past maggots (immune if wearing the Wreath), explore each nook, and inspect left-side ledges to find the Ruined Tool. Be mindful, as there may be hidden breakable walls or secret passages that could yield extra lore or small collectibles.

Use these tips:

  • Play the Needle Tune at the entry door.
  • Check high platforms on the left for the main item.
  • Inspect suspicious walls for hidden routes.
  • Navigate carefully—enemy density is high.

Requirements for entry and progression

  • Needle Tune skill (learned after a key story event)
  • Combat-ready build with solid healing or defensive tools
  • Optional: Wreath item (to reduce damage from maggot enemies)

After accessing the area and retrieving the Ruined Tool, you’ll see a cryptic message hinting at its potentially powerful repair.

Weavenest Murglin rewards and upgrades

The highlight of this excursion is the Ruined Tool. Take it to the Forge Daughter NPC—she’ll offer to repair it for a fee of 240 beads. Once repaired, you’ll receive the Silkshot ability, allowing Hornet to shoot a web-like projectile. This is highly useful for both scraping through platforming challenges and in combat scenarios against agile foes.

While initial exploration indicates the Ruined Tool/Silkshot is the standout reward, players should always poke around for unlisted secrets or minor loot, as new info is continually surfacing about Silksong's hidden content.

Is Weavenest Murglin worth the trip?

While Weavenest Murglin is tough and somewhat out of the way, unlocking the Silkshot makes later challenges much smoother. If a stronger ranged or traversal move appeals to your preferred playstyle, it’s a detour well worth making in Silksong.
