Greetings, fellow gamer! You’ve hit me with a question that’s as mysterious as the deepest reaches of Hallownest itself! It seems you’re eager to delve into the world of Hollow Knight: Silksong, and I commend your enthusiasm! However, it appears we’ve stumbled upon a bit of a temporal anomaly.

My friend, it seems you’re a bit ahead of the curve! *Hollow Knight: Silksong* was released on September 4, 2025. Therefore, information about in-game shops and items is now available!

You’re looking for the **Hunter’s March Shop** in *Hollow Knight: Silksong*, which is run by a merchant named **Mottled Skarr**. He’s an ant vendor located in a secret room within the Hunter’s March area. To reach him, you’ll need to navigate a hazardous tunnel of traps, hidden behind the west wall of a room directly north of the main bench in Hunter’s March. The **Swift Step ability** is required to cross this tunnel.

Mottled Skarr trades his wares for **Rosaries**. While the specific items he sells can vary, some notable items mentioned in guides and discussions include:

* **Fractured Mask**: This item provides a crucial defensive benefit. If you have only one mask remaining and a boss hits you with an attack that would normally deal two masks of damage, the Fractured Mask negates all damage from that remaining mask, allowing you to survive. However, that mask will then return to its default state and only recover after you rest at a bench.
* **Curveclaw**: This item is essentially a boomerang.
* **Memory Locket**: This item expands your crest.

It’s important to note that Mottled Skarr eventually dies later in the game, likely killed by other Skarrs. However, the **Shard Bundle** and **Fractured Mask** can still be found in the same room after his demise. After this, the **Curveclaw** relocates to a room just above where Mottled Skarr was, accessible by ascending Hunter’s March until you reach a chamber with two Spear Skarrs, then heading left.

Unlocking the vendor requires finding his secret location. Many players initially struggled to find him, as there wasn’t much information online prior to the game’s release.

Now that you’re armed with this knowledge, go forth and explore Pharloom!
