Hollow Knight Silksong Final Audience Wish Guide
The Final Audience Wish is one of the most confusing quests in Hollow Knight Silksong. Many players reach Act 3 and clear every other wish, only to find that the Final Audience will not appear on the board. If you are stuck running across the Citadel without progress, this guide shows exactly how to trigger the Final Audience Wish and what you need to do with the Second Sentinel.
How to Start the Final Audience Wish in Hollow Knight Silksong
To activate the Final Audience Wish, you must encounter the Second Sentinel twice across the Citadel.
First encounter: west of Songclave, where the Second Sentinel fights Grand Reed.
Second encounter: in the long passage above the map text “Choral Chambers.”
After the second meeting, fast travel back to Songclave and the Final Audience Wish will appear on the board.
Final Audience Wish Requirements
Several players reported different triggers, but the most consistent requirements are:
You must already be in Act 3.
You must have gathered all three Song quests from the main story.
The two Second Sentinel encounters must be seen in the Citadel.
After this sequence, the Wish is automatically added to the Songclave board without extra conditions.
Tips for Triggering the Encounters
The Second Sentinel does not always spawn in the same room immediately. To force the events:
Rest at a nearby bench, then re-enter the Citadel halls.
Explore the yellow-marked areas on the map, especially above Choral Chambers.
If the spawn fails, quit out and reload your save, then revisit the same corridors.
Once both encounters are complete, the Wish will trigger as soon as you return to Songclave.
Final Blurb
The Hollow Knight Silksong Final Audience Wish requires two separate encounters with the Second Sentinel in the Citadel before it appears on the Songclave board. Stay persistent in the yellow-marked halls, rest at benches to reset spawns, and once you see her twice, the quest will finally unlock.
