Hollow Knight Silksong Nuu Guide & Location
Nuu is one of the quirkiest NPCs in Hollow Knight: Silksong, and meeting her is required if you want to start filling out the Hunter’s Journal. She’s dramatic, eccentric, and tied to one of the biggest side tasks in the game: the Bugs of Pharloom Wish. Finding her not only unlocks the Journal but also sets you on a long quest across Pharloom that leads to valuable rewards.
Where to Find Nuu in Silksong
Nuu is located in Greymoor, inside the Halfway Home inn. To reach her, you’ll need the Drifter’s Cloak from the Seamstress to access Greymoor.
Steps to reach Nuu:
Enter Greymoor and head left until you see the large locked building.
Circle around the left side to enter the Halfway Home.
On the first floor you’ll meet Creige, the innkeeper, along with a bench.
Climb to the attic on the third floor, where you’ll find Nuu waiting.
This is where she introduces herself and gives you the Hunter’s Journal.
What Nuu Does in Silksong
When you speak to Nuu, she gives Hornet the Hunter’s Journal, which adds a new tab to your menu. Every time you defeat a new enemy, an entry is added. Each entry has two stages: the first after one kill, and the second after killing enough of that enemy type. Bosses also count as entries.
She then tasks you with the Bugs of Pharloom Wish, which requires filling the Journal with 100 different enemies.
Bugs of Pharloom Wish
Accepting this Wish from Nuu means you’ll need to defeat a wide spread of enemies across Pharloom.
Only one kill is needed to register an enemy in the Journal.
Some enemies require multiple kills to unlock their full notes.
Bosses also count as entries, making them essential for progress.
This Wish is a long-term side quest you’ll complete naturally as you explore and fight your way through the game.
Rewards for Completing Nuu’s Wish
Finishing the Bugs of Pharloom Wish rewards you with:
Tool Pouch expansion, increasing your maximum Shell Shard and tool ammo capacity.
Keen Hunter achievement, tied directly to granting Nuu’s Wish.
Unique cutscene, where Nuu attempts to kiss Hornet after the Wish is complete, only to get slapped in return.
She will also appear briefly in the Great Conchfly arena once the task is fulfilled.
Final Blurb
Nuu is a key NPC in Hollow Knight: Silksong, found in the Halfway Home attic in Greymoor. She gives you the Hunter’s Journal, starts the Bugs of Pharloom Wish, and eventually rewards you with a Tool Pouch expansion and a quirky cutscene. For anyone aiming to 100% the game, finding Nuu and completing her Wish is not optional.
