How to use Simple Key in Hollow Knight Silksong

Using the Simple Key in Hollow Knight Silksong is straightforward; find a locked door in the region and use the key to unlock it and open a new path. However, the difficulty lies in finding the locked door. Here is how you can get to this fabled door in the game:

• You will need to unlock the cage elevator for Bone Bottom at first for this exploration to begin. Once it is functional, climb the elevator and get to the top left side of Mosshome.
• Climb over to the edge, and you should be able to spot hanging metal cages that are just a bit too far to catch with a normal jump. Wait for the bugs near this cage to fly till around mid height, and then strike it mid air to get a forward boost. Use this boost to climb the cage. Repeat this step to cross over to the path on the left.
