Elegy of the Deep Ability Guide

The Elegy of the Deep ability in Hollow Knight: Silksong lets Hornet play a Silk melody with the Needolin to enter memories scattered across Pharloom.

Hold DOWN while using the Needolin to start the elegy and step into a memory.

Input: Hold DOWN + NEEDOLIN

Location: Ruined Chapel

Elegy of the Deep Ability Functions

Watch for areas that darken slightly and release strands of Silk from nearby figures or objects. After Hornet plays the song for a few seconds, the screen fades, she collapses, and she wakes inside the memory. Confirmed memory entries include:

• •Lost Verdania – Near the Green Prince and the shell of a Cogwork Dancer in the hallway leading to the ruined area.
• •Coral Tower – In the real Coral Tower at the end of the Sands of Karak, where the Conchcutter is found.
• •The room of Skarrsinger Karmelita in the Far Fields.
• •The shrine in Shellwood, guarded by Shrine Guardian Seth.

If Hornet falls inside a memory, she appears back at the entry point without losing Rosaries or leaving a Cocoon. Any Tools spent during the vision are restored when she exits, just like in Hollow Knight's Dream Realm.
