Hollow Knight: Silksong – How to fix the Sinner’s Road bench

by

Silksong is a less evident path situated high above the Halfway House, atop Greymoor. This route offers an alternative entry to Act 2 of the game. However, be prepared for a challenging journey as it’s filled with bothersome enemies, toxic water that hinders healing, and numerous hidden spike traps you’re likely to stumble upon multiple times.

It’s understandable that you might desire a bench as a convenient landmark within this compact space, serving as a regular meeting point for you. Unfortunately, the only bench available at Sinner’s Road is damaged at present.

We’ll explain where to find the Sinner’s Road bench and how to fix it so you can have a nice rest.

Sinner’s Road bench location – HK: Silksong

To locate the bench near Greymoor’s main entrance, proceed straight through the initial room and enter the large vertical chamber. Once there, look out for indicators directing you to the bench room. Follow these signs until you reach approximately halfway up. Exit into the room on your right before reaching the top, as without possessing the double jump ability from Silksong, you won’t be able to ascend that room fully just yet.

Rather than proceeding into this next room and then exiting through the same door, climb up and circumnavigate it from a higher level, eventually reaching an exit on the side you initially entered. This move allows you to leap over and descend to the doorway leading to the room with the bench. It’s beneficial to also drop down slightly and activate the lever, as this will open a quick route up the central column – a useful advantage if you happen to perish during the approaching challenging platforming sequence, which is likely to occur given its difficulty.

In this particular space, there’s both a bench and Shakra present. This setup allows you to acquire the Sinner’s Road map. However, accessing the bench requires 60 Rosaries as payment first. Once paid, the bench malfunctions and starts rising from the ground stubbornly. Before you can utilize it, you’ll need to perform some repairs.

To mend the bench, first, you should activate the Claw Grip/wall climbing feature. If you don’t have this ability yet, here’s what you need to do: Exit through the western gateway of Greymoor, journey to Shellwood, and retrieve it there. Afterward, return to mend the bench.

Once completed, find yourself in the same space as the bench. Leap towards the wall to the left of the bench and ascend to the upper part, where a breakable section awaits after a few attempts. Break through here and prepare for a challenging platforming task involving dodging swinging spiked balls, avoiding spike traps. It’s not an easy feat, but the key to mastery lies in practice – meaning, expect to fall quite a bit.

Upon reaching the finale, you’ll notice some stuck gears entangled with roots. Gently tap those roots a few times, causing them to fracture, thereby releasing the gears to spin and elevate the workbench automatically.
