As you explore the world of Hollow Knight Silksong, you’ll come across an interesting bell contraption right after the first village, where you’re prompted to insert 30 rosaries.
Rosaries are the currency that you use in the game, and are somewhat hard to come by, especially during the early stages of the game.
Silksong does have a lot of secrets, and this bell contraption is one such item that you come across quite early in the game. And the fact that you don’t know what the outcome of the choice is, it makes spending 30 rosaries a bit of a hard one to begin with.
“Insert 30 Rosaries” Choice in Hollow Knight Silksong Explained
Should you choose to use this option to insert these 30 rosaries at the bell contraption, you’ll unlock a checkpoint here.
In Hollow Knight Silksong, these checkpoints come in the form of a bonfire, which also serves as a rest spot. If you choose the option “yes” here, you will unlock this checkpoint formation.
While the choice is a bit mysterious, it’s still rewarding, because having a checkpoint early on in the game can help you in the longer run. It’ll save you from backtracking too much, especially if you run into trouble right after you move past the first village.
The last checkpoint was within the village itself, so should you fall to a monster later on, especially before you get to the next checkpoint, you’ll have to cover a lot of distance once again.
So, choosing to insert 30 rosaries here is the best choice you have. Hollow Knight Silksong released to a thunderous success, to such a degree that it caused major storefronts like Steam to crash.
The game is filled with secrets, and it’s a big game too, so, expect to see more such secrets as you travel through the dark and the grim world in the metroidvania that released after eight years of waiting.
