It’s been less than a week since Team Cherry's Hollow Knight Silksong was released, and it has already taken over social media. Among all the bosses and NPCs, one of the most talked about characters is not a major foe, but a small and lovable pilgrim named Sherma. Fans are charmed by his singing and looks. However, many are worried that his story might take a dark turn like Myla's in Hollow Knight.

Sherma is a male character, as confirmed in Team Cherry’s official blog. He is a tiny pilgrim on a spiritual journey who is very confident in his singing. When you encounter him for the first time, he's standing in front of a locked door, humming a song in an unknown language.

This is the exact scene that has been going viral. When you interact with him, Sherma explains that he is trying to open the door with the power of his singing. We then help him by secretly finding a way to unlock a door. Once we do that and return, Sherma becomes overjoyed, thinking that his singing worked, creating a heartwarming moment in the game.

Fans are both charmed by and deeply concerned about Sherma. The worry comes from an incident related to Myla, a harmless miner NPC from the previous game who, sadly, becomes infected and dies.

@azzerufo expressed their fear by sharing a clip of Myla and hoping it doesn't go in that direction. @ahmed.h.o.s.s.a.m.z had the same concerns on a similar post on Instagram.

On the other hand, many players were simply enjoying Sherma's presence and singing. @oliverhiyaa mentioned that they sang along with him in hopes of opening the door, while both @valkjin and @maliboo43 admitted they stayed there for around 20 minutes.

The second encounter takes place in The Marrow. For this, you need to go to the location where the Bell Beast is initially stuck. Once there, go back to a nearby bench and return to the Bell Beast again. This time, you will find Sherma once again singing in the hope of freeing the creature from the trap.
