From Blasted Steps, you can move further into Grand Gate, which is a rather small area. Despite being a small area, the Grand Gate has its own map, but the map merchant, Shakra, is not present here. You will need to follow a simple method for acquiring this map in the game. This Hollow Knight: Silksong Grand Gate Map Guide will help you find Shakra and purchase the Grand Gate map easily.
Grand Gate – Hollow Knight: Silksong
For collecting the Grand Gate map, we will start at the top-right exit of Blasted Steps, which leads into the Grand Gate area. We have marked it on the map below:

Head right into the big gate and continue going right until you come to a locked gate. Step onto the platform in front of the gate to open it and go inside.

In the next room, you will find a machine that displays a model of the Citadel. If you have some spare Rosary Beads, you can spend 40 on purchasing it. Once you have acquired it, you will gain the Grand Gate map. Shakra, the map merchant, is not present in the Grand Gate, so this is how you obtain this area’s map.
