Hollow Knight: Silksong features an expansive map with several major areas hidden off the main path, accessible only to players who explore. Sinner's Road is one of these areas that's located atop Greymoor, and can only be accessed via a platforming section. It's a desolate area, filled with roaches and maggot-infested pools. Exploring the area is no easy task, which makes finding the map for Sinner's Road even more challenging. Fret not, here's a quick guide that will take you right to it.
How to Reach Shellwood in Hollow Knight: Silksong
Shellwood is one of the late areas in Hollow Knight: Silksong's Act 1, here's how players can reach the area and get a map for it.
How to Reach Sinner's Road in Silksong
To reach Sinner's Road in Silksong, players must make their way to Halfway Home Inn in Greymoor and activate the lift to the left of it. If you're wondering how to reach Greymoor, check out our guide on how to progress through Far Fields.
Take the lift to the upper platforms, and head right. Pogo off the inflated objects and reach the area to the right.
After climbing your way up the highest platform, you'll spot a wall a little high up on the right where you can use the wall jump ability ( 
Cling Grip) to scale to the top.
There's a cave on the right that you can enter through to reach Sinner's Road in Silksong.
Sinner's Road Map Location in Silksong
After entering Sinner's Road, you'll need to make your way to the right. There are a lot of Muckroaches on the ground that will pounce at Hornet for a grab attack. To avoid this, climb the hanging cages and jump across them safely. There will be a pathway to the right that you must take to reach the next area.
Avoid falling into the maggot-infested pools to avoid getting a debuff that will deprive you of silk generation.
After walking a bit further, you'll spot a sign with the bench symbol. Here, you'll need to use wall climb to reach higher platforms and enter the pathway to the right.
In this room, there are two ways to reach the upper platforms. The first one is a shortcut that's only possible if you have the double-jump ( 
Faydown Cloak). Right above the entrance, you can grab the wall, reach up to the cage. Now, jump left from the cage to gain height and then double jump your way onto the platform to the right.
If you don't have the double-jump ability, you'll need to go to the rightmost part of the room and use the hanging saw blades to pogo your way to the top. Regardless of how you reach the top, drop to the left side of the area and hit the switch to unlock the gate.
After going through the gate, jump over the two hanging cages and enter a doorway marked with the bench symbol.
After a brief platforming section, you'll reach Shakra, who will sell you the 
Sinner's Road Map in Silksong. There's a bench here as well, and you can check out our guide on how to fix the Sinner's Road bench to rest up.
