Silksong Mossberry locations and Berry Picking Wish guide

Mossberry locations in Silksong are tied to the Berry Picking Wish, where the Moss Druid asks you find three Mossberries so that she can brew you up a special substance that turns out to be a badge tool you can use to gain silk through damage received. It's a useful little advantage you can get early on in Hollow Knight Silksong if you know where to look, and that's where we'll help, laying out the locations of three Mossberries nearby on an easy to use map.

All Mossberry locations in Silksong

If you've been following our Silksong walkthrough for the early hours of the game, getting Mossberries is one of the first things we recommend doing to save you having to backtrack too much. All three Mossberries needed for the Berry Picking Wish are found in the Moss Grotto area of the game, two of which are right at the start of the game, while a third can be found in the upper Mosshome region.

Here's where you need to look:

Silksong Mossberry 1

In the first few minutes of the game, you'll eventually enter an area with a jetty made out of a spine on the far-left side and the first Mossberry is in there:

1. From the spine jetty, use the small floating platforms to jump up and to the right to some larger ledges.
2. Keep going right until you reach a large floating rock formation shaped like steps and climb up until you can see more small platforms.
3. Hop across the small platforms to reach a ledge where the glowing Mossberry is hanging. Jump and attack it to cut it down, then collect it.

Silksong Mossberry 2

The second Mossberry isn't that far ahead of the first one, still in the same lower area of the Moss Grotto:

1. From the first Mossberry location, drop down off the ledge and then carry on through the Moss Grotto, heading right. You'll eventually reach a large area with lots of floating platforms leading up.
2. Climb up the platforms and once you're almost at the top, you'll spot a Mossberry hanging from a branch right at the top of your screen.
3. To get this one early on, you need to use a Silksong pogo jump on the flying caterpillar bug that flies nearby. Jump as high as high as you can then perform a downwards attack to hit the caterpillar, launching Hornet a little higher. Then you need to quickly attack upwards to cut down the berry. This is quite tricky to execute as you need to react quickly and precisely, but you can always come back later once you have the Swift Step ability, which will make getting this berry very easy.
4. Collect the Mossberry once you've cut it down, then carry on heading left to reach the Ruined Chapel where you can ascend to nearby Bone Bottom.

Silksong Mossberry 3

The third Mossberry is very close to the Druid, in a cave directly underneath their little hideout that's in the upper areas of the Moss Grotto, initially accessible only through The Marrow region:

1. Exit the Druid's hideout and drop down the hole in the floor that's immediately ahead.
2. In the next room, drop down to ground level and then head right through a hidden hole, leading you into a dark cave with a small flying bug with a Mossberry in its mandibles.
3. Kill the bug and collect the Mossberry.

Silksong Berry Picking Wish rewards

With all three Mossberries stored away, it's time to head back to the Druid and hand them over. Once you've exhausted their dialogue, they'll hand over a Druid's Eye amulet, which you can equip when resting to allow you to gain Silk when taking damage as well as when dealing damage.

If you find you're getting hit a lot and are still learning the how enemies fight, this is a good bonus to have, especially for Silksong bosses. It helps you with health regeneration from more frequent Binding and using Silksong abilities for more damage.

On your travels, you'll alsocome across Shakra who will sell you Silksong maps. However, to get some of these, you'll probably need to farm for Silksong Rosaries.
