Hollow Knight Silksong Weavenest Atla Guide & Location
Weavenest Atla in Hollow Knight Silksong is one of the most important mid-game areas. Hidden behind a Needolin door in Moss Grotto, this Weaver-built nest is full of silk corridors, secrets, and one of the game’s biggest crest upgrades. If you’re wondering how to enter Weavenest Atla, what enemies and bosses appear there, and what rewards you can find, this guide covers it all.
How to Access Weavenest Atla
To reach Weavenest Atla, head east of Moss Grotto. You will find a sealed door with a Weaver symbol. Use the Needolin tool to open it. Note that the Needolin must be used each time you pass through.
Inside, you’ll discover an elevator chamber that instantly drops you between the upper and lower sections of the nest. This elevator works much like those in White Palace.
Key Features of Weavenest Atla
The area is layered with thick silk and mossy fossil floors. The southwest resembles Moss Grotto, while the eastern side hides tougher enemies. Servitor Ignims scurry away when Hornet approaches, while Marrowmaw block paths deeper inside.
Weavenest Atla also contains two major rewards. Breaking a wall near the eastern edge reveals a Mask Shard after a short platforming section. Another Spool Fragment can be found by exploring north of the bench and clearing out two Marrowmaw.
Moss Mother Rematch
On the southwest side of Weavenest Atla, Hornet faces Moss Mother again. This fight is tougher than the first encounter. She swings her bulk low, slams the ceiling to split into two forms, and summons smaller mossbugs. Sometimes she combines rockfalls with bug spawns.
The best strategy is to focus one Moss Mother down quickly before the room fills with enemies. Once both are defeated, Hornet earns the Weavelight tool.
Eva and the Crest Upgrade
The most important NPC in Weavenest Atla is Eva. She is found on the southeast side, behind a series of breakable walls past the teleport pad. Eva speaks about Hornet’s Weaver heritage and offers to evolve the Hunter Crest.
This upgrade transforms the basic Hunter Crest into the Evolved Crest of the Hunter, one of the strongest crests in the game. It increases damage when Hornet builds focus and rewards aggressive, mistake-free combat.
Eva can be revisited later after certain progression points, offering further insights and upgrades.
Other Secrets in Weavenest Atla
The area also hides several useful collectibles:
A Rune Harp is found by climbing the right platforms after the teleport pad. This item is later needed for a Bellhart quest.
Breaking a lower wall on the far right side reveals a lava cavern challenge that ends with a Mask Fragment.
Returning left from the teleport pad eventually leads to another Spool Fragment, expanding Hornet’s Silk capacity.
Final Blurb
Weavenest Atla is a dense and rewarding region in Hollow Knight Silksong. From the Moss Mother rematch to Eva’s crest evolution, every corner hides upgrades and secrets worth exploring. Bring Needolin, prepare for heavy fights, and you’ll leave with some of the best tools in the game.
