Hollow Knight: Silksong will go down in history as one of 2025’s best, and most difficult games. Fans and critics alike have spoken about how tough some of the game’s areas are, with even low-level enemies doing a lot of damage. Saving in benches and restoring your health is usually enough to calm fans down, but areas like Pilgrim’s Rest make things difficult by charging Rosaries for entry.
This is pretty annoying in a number of ways. Rosaries are already used to get most items and upgrades, so using some of them to save your progress is annoying. What’s worse with the Pilgrim’s Rest location is that if you don’t go in right away, the innkeeper will close the door and you’ll have to pay money again.
Fans have discovered that there’s a fairly easy way to overcome paying extra in the Pilgrim’s Rest. However, there is also a huge price to pay if you do this, as a locked enemy can come in and kill the innkeeper. Here’s what players need to know about keeping Pilgrim’s Rest open and the risks that come with it.
How Do You Keep Pilgrim’s Rest Permanently Open?
Pay the initial 30 Rosaries and go inside. When you press the button to unlock the door, you should see a mechanism up above. Break that and you can now enter Pilgrim’s Rest without paying 30 Rosaries.
It’s a pretty basic life hack for Hollow Knight: Silksong, but one that should help out players who are hoping to save up on currency. Rosaries are important to get certain items after all, though I will admit that they aren’t exactly hard to get. Most enemies drop them, so you’ll never run out of Rosaries.
Are There Repercussions to Keeping the Pilgrim’s Rest Door Open?
Yes. You can hear banging in the right side of the door. Later on, if you break the door and keep it permanently open, a grey beetle can kill the innkeeper.
Because of this, it might be better if players actually leave the door as is. Since most Silksong players are going to be exploring anyway, they might as well keep this area the same. Paying 30 Rosaries is annoying, but you can refill them any time and there are plenty of save benches that won’t cost a thing.
