Roach Guts wish in Hollow Knight Silksong walkthrough

You will need to visit Sinner’s Road first and then make your way to the room located on the upper right side of the large vertical area. Climb up and go right using the hanging metal spikes in the region, then glide to the platform present on the right side. Enter the next room and interact with the NPCs named Crull and Benjin. Here, you can accept the wish and start your quest.

Here is a quick guide that fans can follow to complete the Roach Guts wish in Hollow Knight Silksong:

• Climb down from the platform that you used to enter the room with the NPCs. There are many spike traps in the area alongside flying enemies, so make sure to glide down slowly. You can then move left from the bottom area.
• Go down again and inside the room on the left to encounter a region filled with hanging metal cages. This is where you will find a few Roach enemies.
• The Roaches will charge toward you with a small leap. They also retreat a few steps back almost instantly. Use the gaps in their attack pattern to deal damage with your weapon.
• Once they are eliminated, you will be able to collect the Roach Gut item from the fallen enemies. Repeat this step to take down all the Roach mobs in the area.
• Farm as many Roach Gut items in this location as possible, then return to the area from another so they can respawn. This will help you gather the items required for the completion of the Roach Guts wish in Hollow Knight Silksong quickly.
• You can then go back to the location of the NPCs where you had originally accepted the wish. Hand over 10 Roach Gut items to Crull and Benjin to finish the mission.
