Needolin Doors in Hollow Knight: Silksong, as the name suggests, require the Needolin ability to open and access the Weavenest areas behind them. Although that is the case for most, some might require additional abilities on top of Needolin to reach the door itself.

Only one of these doors is required for the main story, while the others have a tool or ability behind them that players must collect if they are aiming for 100% completion. The guide below includes maps and information about their locations in Hollow Knight: Silksong.

All Needolin Door Locations in Silksong

Weavenest Karn

  • Location: Wormways
  • Requirement: Needolin + Faydown Cloak or Clawline

This Needolin door is located to the left of Bone Bottom, but you will have to reach the Wormways first, which is accessible through the left of The Marrow. The path to Wormways is locked, and you will need a Simple Key to head inside.

The easiest way to get a key early in the game is to buy it from Pebb for 500 Rosaries, which you can farm next to the Marrow bench to the left. Once inside, head to the far left, then head up and left again to find the door. Inside the Weavenest Karn, you will only find the Sharpdart Ability.

Weavenest Atla

  • Location: Moss Grotto
  • Requirement: Needolin

To reach this gate, head back to the starting area, which is Moss Grotto, and as you are falling down, take the first right. Go past the flying enemies, and you will find the door to Weavenest Atla. This area actually counts as a separate location and has its own map. Once you activate the mechanism in the middle and go down, you can head left to find Snare Setter, a Spool Fragment, and a boss encounter with two Mossmothers.

On the right is a series of breakable walls that lead to Eva, who can upgrade your Hunter Crest and increase slots if you have gathered enough Memory Lockets. The final upgrade unlocks Sylphsong, which is an ability that regenerates Silk whenever you sit on a bench.

Weavenest Cindril

  • Location: Far Fields
  • Requirement: Needolin

From the location where you acquire the Drifter's Cloak, head further right, and at the end of the path, you will find the Needolin door leading to Weavenest Cindril. After resting at the bench, dash to the other end of the room to get the Silkspeed Anklets. If you do not dash, the tool will not pop up.

Once you acquire the Anklets, equip them and also equip the Flea Brew tool. Use the Brew to increase your speed even more and run past the plates, lighting all of them, which will reveal a hidden area below that leads to a Rune Harp, a Relic.

Weavenest Murglin

  • Location: Bilewater
  • Requirement: Needolin

Weavenest Murglin is located to the far right of Bilewater. If you entered this area through Sinner's Path, then you can head to the far right, where you will find the door. If you have acquired the map for the area, then you can easily pinpoint the location on the map.

Inside the area, you can find the Ruined Tool on top of the table. This is a broken tool that can be forged into one of three different versions at three different locations. All three forges will cost you a Craftmetal, but the outcome is quite different.

Weavenest Absolom

  • Location: The Abyss
  • Requirement: Needolin

This is part of the main story, when you will have to go all the way to the right of the Abyss. Behind the door, you can find Farsight to the far right, which is an item that tells you your completion %. After that, you can go to the bottom of this area to find the Silk Soar ability.
