Hollow Knight Silksong Nameless Town Guide & Location
The Nameless Town in Hollow Knight: Silksong is one of Pharloom’s most secret areas. Hidden far above The Cradle, this ruined settlement marks the surface of the world, complete with ghostly echoes, broken homes, and a strange memento tied to Hornet’s journey. If you’re wondering how to reach it, what it contains, and why it matters, this guide covers everything.
How to Access the Nameless Town on the Surface
To reach the Nameless Town, you must progress into Act 3 and climb back up toward The Cradle after gaining the Cling Grip ability. From the Grand Mother Silk arena, use Silk Soar to reach the ceiling and break into a hidden cave. Continue ascending until you reach the surface.
Along the way, you’ll encounter Mister Mushroom for the final time. After speaking with him, he will fly away. From here, you can move further upward into the desolate overworld and find the Nameless Town itself.
Nameless Town Location and Features
The Nameless Town sits at the far right side of the surface, past a field of ruined houses. These buildings resemble bulbous domes, and scattered bugs wander the area like husks of an older time. A lone ghost sits nearby, whispering cryptic lines when sung to, hinting at forgotten promises and those who once sought freedom above Pharloom.
Inside the far-right house, you can play the Needolin to summon echoes of memory. Doing this causes the Surface Memento to drop, which can then be displayed at your home in Bellhart.
Nameless Town Lore and Rewards
The Nameless Town appears to be a settlement abandoned long before Hornet’s rise. The whispers and ruins suggest that Weavers once reached this height, only to fade away under the weight of their promises.
Key rewards include:
Surface Memento – gained by playing Needolin in the rightmost house.
Journal entries – slay the small surface bugs for bestiary completion.
Passing of the Age achievement – unlocked after seeing the bonus scene tied to Mister Mushroom following the true final boss.
While the area itself does not contain combat challenges, it serves as both a lore-rich secret and a closure point for Mister Mushroom’s questline.
Final Blurb
The Nameless Town is a fittingly quiet endgame secret in Hollow Knight: Silksong. Hidden at the world’s peak, it rewards exploration with lore, a rare memento, and one last encounter with Mister Mushroom.
For those chasing 100 percent completion, or just wanting to see the surface of Pharloom, it’s worth the climb.
