How to unlock Spider Strings in Hollow Knight Silksong

The path to unlocking Spider Strings in Hollow Knight Silksong runs directly through Jubilana. By definition, she’s a wandering merchant, and the game makes you chase her down before she sets up shop.

Songclave gives you two separate quests tied to her:

• The Wandering Merchant - The first quest that sends you searching for her. Completing this makes Jubilana a permanent vendor back at Songclave.
• The Lost Merchant - The follow-up quest that expands her stock, most notably adding the Spider Strings.

Once you finish The Lost Merchant, Jubilana returns to Songclave with a broader inventory. That’s the key moment, as now she finally sells the Spider Strings tool for 320 Rosaries. However, make sure you have enough Rosaries on hand before heading over, as this tool is essential for specific builds and progression activities.

What Spider Strings do in Hollow Knight Silksong

Spider Strings is a yellow-slot passive tool. Its effect is simple but potent: it amplifies and strengthens the protagonist's Needolin, the ancient silk-based musical instrument. Using this tool, Hornet’s musical notes have a greater impact, which can influence both combat and traversal.

In practical terms, Spider Strings when attached to Needolin can assist with a wide range of endgame tasks to make them smoother, such as:

• Reaching Weavenest Atla, where precise silk-based movement is key.
• Navigating the Mist sections efficiently.
• Completing the Beastling Call task.
• Unlocking movement upgrades like Double Jump and Silkspeed Anklets.

By placing it in your yellow slot, you ensure that the Needolin’s effects are enhanced passively, without having to activate additional tools or consume resources during combat or exploration.
