How to unlock Flintslate in Hollow Knight Silksong

Before Hornet can reach Flintslate, she’ll need a Simple Key. One of the easiest sources is the Marrow trader, who sells it for 500 Rosaries. If you’re still early in the game, that’s a heavy cost, but it’s the most straightforward method.

To get there, make your way to Bone Bottom, the first town you enter after passing the Chapel Maid. Among the NPCs in this hub is a merchant with a stock list that includes the Simple Key. Scroll down his wares, purchase the key for 500 Rosaries, and you’ll be ready to move on.

With the key in hand, travel down to the Deep Docks and push toward the Far Fields connection. The area is dense with enemies, so equipping Swift Step makes a real difference, letting you slip past without wasting too much Silk or health.

Before the entrance to Lace’s arena, you’ll come across a lever that controls a locked gate. This is where the Simple Key comes into play. Use it here to open the way forward.

Beyond the gate, climb through the second vertical chamber. On the left-hand ledge of this section, Flintslate is waiting to be claimed. Grab it, and then double back to your nearest Bench so you can slot it in right away.
