The world of Hollow Knight: Silksong thrives on mystery—every locked door, every cryptic passage promising treasures both tangible and symbolic. Among these, the Weavenest Murglin stands out as one of the more elusive locations in the Bilewater region. Equal parts treacherous and rewarding, it offers Hornet not only a tough challenge but also one of the game’s most valuable upgrades.

This guide walks you through how to find the Weavenest Murglin, what lies within its twisted halls, and the prize that awaits those daring enough to uncover it.

How to Reach the Weavenest Murglin?

The Weavenest Murglin is tucked deep in Bilewater, locked behind a mysterious metal door. To open it, Hornet must perform a Needle Tune—a skill that only becomes available after key story progression. If you haven’t unlocked this ability yet, the chamber will remain sealed.

Once the Needle Tune resonates, the door yields, and the way into the Weavenest Murglin opens. What follows is a gauntlet of dangerous encounters, so preparation is key. Many players recommend equipping the Wreath charm, which significantly reduces damage from the ever-present maggot swarms of the area.

Map Layout and Navigation Tips

Though relatively compact, the Weavenest Murglin is densely packed with enemies and environmental hazards. Expect tight corridors, vertical descents, and the occasional secret tucked behind a suspicious wall.

Navigation advice:

  • Begin with the Needle Tune at the entrance.
  • Explore the left-hand ledges for the critical item: the Ruined Tool.
  • Keep an eye out for hidden, breakable walls—they often conceal lore fragments or minor collectibles.
  • Move cautiously; high enemy density makes rushing risky.

Entry Requirements

Accessing and progressing through the Weavenest Murglin requires more than just curiosity. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Needle Tune skill (story-gated ability)
  • A combat-focused build, preferably with strong healing or defensive tools
  • Optional but recommended: the Wreath item to mitigate maggot-related damage

Without these, survival becomes far more difficult, and exploration risks becoming a futile endeavor.

Rewards: Ruined Tool and Silkshot Ability

At the heart of the Weavenest Murglin lies the Ruined Tool, an artifact that at first seems broken and inert. Yet, when taken to Forge Daughter, she offers to repair it for a fee of 240 beads.

Once restored, the Ruined Tool transforms into Silkshot—a powerful new ability enabling Hornet to fire a web-like projectile. This addition significantly enhances both combat versatility and traversal, making it one of the most impactful upgrades in Silksong so far revealed.

While Silkshot is the headline prize, players should remain vigilant. The Weavenest Murglin may hold other unmarked secrets, and much like its predecessor, Silksong delights in rewarding the curious and the thorough.
