Rosary Beads is one of the primary currencies in Hollow Knight: Silksong, and you will need them quite early, especially if you are trying to purchase the game’s maps and its accessories from the merchant Shakra. While it may not be obvious from the start how you can acquire these Rosary Beads, it is actually fairly straightforward to acquire them. It is also the only premium currency of Hollow Knight: Silksong, as the other currency, Shell Stones, is found much easily in the game. This Hollow Knight: Silksong Rosary Beads Guide will guide you on how you can acquire Rosary Beads and also how you can farm them easily.
Rosary Beads Guide – Hollow Knight: Silksong
You will first need the Rosary Beads when you reach any merchant in the game, and they will trade only with you if you have enough Rosary Beads. The game’s map merchant, Shakra, also deals only with Rosary Beads, and she will be one of the game’s first merchants that you will come across. These Rosary Beads have different colors, and each color has a different monetary value as well. You will find Red Beads most commonly in the game, but they are worth just 1, and the much-rarer Silver Beads are worth 5.
How to Acquire Rosary Beads
Unlike Shell Stones, which can be obtained from killing normal bug enemies, destroying mounds, or lying around, Rosary Beads are only found on higher-level enemies or areas. To make them secure and prevent you from losing them if you die, you can purchase Rosary Strings, which hold them, but if you want to purchase something with them, you will need to break the string and then trade with a merchant.
You will find Rosary Beads in different hard-to-find areas in different locations. You may find them hanging from ceilings or placed over some big statues or rocks. Sometimes you will also find them hidden in mounds, which are cleverly hidden in secret places. You can attack them to break them free and then collect them like any other currency you collect. Some dead bugs will also have them in the form of strings, so always look in the hidden areas. Bigger enemies in the game also carry Rosary Beads, especially the ones that walk on two legs. Always kill them and loot their beads.
How to Farm Rosary Beads Early
There is a small arena on the left side of merchant Shakra, which has a few of these bigger enemies that drop Rosary Beads, and there is a bench nearby as well, which means that you can repeat this area as much as you want. Once you reach Shakra, go to her left side to find a locked gate. Go up from here and then right to find this path, which eventually unlocks the shortcut with the bench, and follow its route to collect the beads, sit on the bench, and repeat as much as you like. When you sit on the bench, the enemies will respawn, and you will have another round of Rosary Beads farming ready for you.
