Where to find Shard Pendant in Hollow Knight Silksong

Shard Pendant is one of the very first Crest charms you can find in Hollow Knight Silksong. It's an important one, too, if you want to regularly utilize all the different fighting tools the Hornet can use in this game. Basically, it makes it so that killing creatures will drop more Shell Shards that they otherwise would.

Since you can get the Shard Pendant very early, it's recommended you collect this before you venture beyond The Marrows in Hollow Knight Silksong. In this guide, we'll tell you where it's found. However, if you are a complete beginner to Hollow Knight Silksong and similar games, do note that this requires a lot of platforming - so buckle up.

Shard Pendant location in Hollow Knight Silksong

Start from the bench here (Image via Team Cherry)

The closest starting location to get to the Shard Pendant early on is the resting bench at the very base of The Marrows, at its foundation. For reference: this is the bench right next to the pilgrim milestone. From here, you want to go right, jump across the boney platform, and keep going right up till the point shown below.

From here, get on the small platform above, and make your way towards the left. You'll hit a heavy block of stone that falls below to make for a nice jumping point towards the metal platform further left.

A charger awakens here, so be ready to either dispatch it or jump over it as it approaches you.

Jump across the thorns and keep going left till you hit an impassable wall. Here, pivot towards the right, and platform your way across the fly to go up above.

Next, you want to go right again, so you get up on the platform that leads you back towards the right, and further up.

In the next segment, the ascent will have a handful of crumbling platforms that you'll need to step on, so prepare yourself.

Get across the fly, and across the thorns to peek up above. Here, you have to get past a rather tricky spot where another fly will dive-bomb you from above, and a giant charger will awaken.

The goal here is to get past the charging creature to the left. The room you enter next has the Pendant Shard within.
