How to get Pilgrim Garb: Hollow Knight Silksong Garb of the Pilgrims Quest explained

Once the Wishwall is complete in Hollow Knight: Silksong, you can start fulfilling side quests for the bugs in Bone Bottom. The first of these is “Garb of the Pilgrims,” which asks you to collect twelve scraps of Pilgrim Garp.

In classic Metroidvania fashion, Silksong doesn’t come out and tell you where you can find Pilgrim Garb. Luckily, getting the Pilgrims some (slightly) better vestments isn’t that big of a hassle, and doing it nets you a very nice reward.

Where to find Pilgrim Garb in Hollow Knight Silksong

Unlike the Shard Pendant, Pilgrim Garb isn’t waiting in a specific area for you to find. Instead, it drops from the many Pilgrim-themed enemies shambling around Pharloom. You’re looking for enemies wrapped up in brown bandages, similar to the ones worn by the Pilgrims of Bone Bottom. Once you’ve killed one of these enemies, check to see if it has a light on it. If it does, it’s got a piece of Pilgrim Barb for you to loot.

I was well on my way to grabbing the Swift Step when I finally realized how to get Pilgrim Garbs, but the road to this pivotal upgrade is full of enemies that drop them. That said, there’s a fantastic spot to grind up Pilgrim Garbs if you want to complete the quest fast.

After you’ve met Shakra, the map-selling warrior bug in The Marrow, head up and to the left to enter Mosshome. This first room alone has six enemies that all drop Pilgrim Garb, and it’s a fantastic spot to farm Rosaries, too. Even better, following this path leads you to an elevator that will bring you back to Bone Bottom, so you can loop back around and get all the Pilgrim Garb you need in less than five minutes.

Once you’ve got twelve Pilgrim Garbs, head back to Bone Bottom and interact with the Wishwell to complete the quest.

What do you get for completing Garb of the Pilgrims in Hollow Knight Silksong?

Finishing “Garb of the Pilgrims” rewards you with a Rosery Necklace, a more plentiful variant of the Broken Prayer Strings you’ve been finding up to this point. Breaking the Rosary Necklace nets you a whopping 120 Rosaries. With this extra cash, unlocking all those hidden benches around The Marrow and Deep Docks will become a lot easier. Even if you aren’t in the mood to pay for easy access to save points, you’ll need plenty of Roseries to buy all of Shakra’s maps and purchase new items from Pebb.
