Accessing Greymoor

You will need to find the secret passage in the Whispering Vault to enter Greymoor, as it cannot be accessed from any of the main paths. Once you obtain the Twisted Bud, you will need to go to Greyroot, who you can find in Shellwood. After you talk with her, you will start the Rite of Rebirth quest.

Chapel of the Witch

You will end up in the Chapel of the Witch, which you can escape by heading left. Avoid the enemies as you are cursed and will have limited abilities and health. There will be a save bench near the part where you will need to go up. Make sure to unlock it so that you have a checkpoint in case you die.

Finding Yarnaby

Yarnaby can be found in the Bellhart region of Silksong. Take the elevator and go to the upper left corner of Greymoor. You will find the doctor here, who will give you the Infestation Operation quest. You will then need to head right and find two NPCs, Crull and Benjin, and buy the Steel Spines, which will cost 260 Rosaries.
