Comprehensive Guide to "Trail's End" Quest in Hollow Knight: Silksong

Embarking on the 'Trail's End' quest in Hollow Knight: Silksong presents players with a unique investigative challenge, tasking them with locating Shakra by deciphering the trail of golden rings she has left behind. This guide will walk you through the initiation of this quest and provide detailed directions to successfully navigate its intricacies.

To begin this quest, you must first acquire all of Shakra's maps from her various appearances across the game's regions. Once these purchases are complete, the 'Trail's End' quest will become accessible via the quest board in Bellhart. Our comprehensive instructions will then guide you through two distinct paths to reach Shakra in the northeastern reaches of Bilewater. The shorter path is available if you've already traversed the route between Putrified Ducts and Bilewater and bested Groal the Great. For those who haven't, an alternative, longer route commencing from the Bilewater Bellway Station is also outlined. Both routes necessitate keen observation and strategic movement, as you follow the rings through diverse landscapes, including treacherous poison blobs and hidden passages behind waterfalls. Upon reaching Shakra, utilizing the Needolin ability will finalize the quest.

Upon the successful completion of the 'Trail's End' quest, your efforts will be recognized with a valuable reward: the Throwing Ring. This highly effective throwable item can ricochet off both enemies and environmental surfaces, and you'll be able to carry up to ten of these at a time, significantly enhancing your combat and exploration capabilities. This quest exemplifies the game's blend of exploration and puzzle-solving, encouraging players to thoroughly engage with the world of Pharloom.
