Hollow Knight Silksong All Memory Locket Locations & Guide
Expanding your Crest is one of the best upgrades in Hollow Knight Silksong. Crests control how many Tools Hornet can equip, but many slots start locked. To unlock more, you’ll need a Memory Locket. This guide covers every Memory Locket location, how they work, and which Crests to expand first.
What Memory Lockets Do
A Memory Locket unlocks an extra slot on a Crest, letting you equip more Tools. Each Crest has its own layout of colored sockets, and Lockets are the only way to open the locked ones. Once a slot is unlocked, it stays permanent for that Crest.
This works much like Charm Notches in Hollow Knight, but in Silksong you decide which Crest to invest in. Choosing wisely can make a huge difference in tougher areas.
Memory Locket Locations in Hollow Knight Silksong
Here are all known places where you can find or purchase Memory Lockets:
Volatile Flintbeetles Quest – Complete this task and return to Bone Bottom to receive a Memory Locket as a reward.
The Marrow Upper Area – Requires Cling Grip. Climb to the northwest section and clear a fight against Pilgrim enemies to claim it.
Mort’s Shop, Far Fields – Sold for 150 Rosaries after paying entry.
Greymoor – Found to the right of the Moorwing fight, past the floor fan. Watch out for traps and charging enemies.
Hunter’s March – Looted from a corpse on the far right side, near the path leading to the Chapel of the Beast.
Frey’s Shop, Bellhart – Sold for 330 Rosaries after defeating Widow.
Blasted Steps – Hidden in a dark passage beyond the hanging bells. Requires careful pogoing and avoiding falling rocks.
Which Crest to Upgrade First
Wanderer Crest – Best for early game. Its moveset feels familiar, and the extra slots help round out basic builds.
Reaper Crest – Stronger later on. Slower swings, but wider coverage and better Silk recovery make it worth expanding.
Other Crests can be expanded depending on your favorite playstyle, but these two are the most useful to start with.
How to Use Memory Lockets
To use a Memory Locket, sit at a bench and open the Crest menu. Highlight one of the locked slots, then hold the interact button to consume the Locket and unlock it.
Make sure you check the color of the locked slot before committing, since Lockets cannot be refunded. Once unlocked, you can equip the matching Tool type immediately.
Final Blurb
Memory Lockets are some of the most important upgrades in Hollow Knight Silksong. Each one gives you more room to experiment with Tools and builds, which is essential for late-game areas. Track down every location, spend Rosaries wisely, and expand the Crests you rely on most.
FAQ
Can Memory Lockets be reused or refunded?
No, once used they stay tied to the Crest you upgraded.
How many Memory Lockets are in Hollow Knight Silksong?
Several are scattered across Pharloom, though the exact total depends on your progress.
Should I save Memory Lockets for late game?
Not really. Unlocking slots early makes Hornet much stronger, so it’s better to use them as you find them.
