Hollow Knight: Silksong Wailing Mother Quest Guide: Track and Defeat the Broodmother

Wishwall quests in Hollow Knight: Silksong have given players a reason to revisit Pharloom’s safe areas long after the main path has moved on. Among these requests, the Wailing Mother quest stands out as a Grand Hunt that blends investigation, platforming, and a tense boss encounter. Assigned to the Songclave safe area in Choral Chambers, this wish sends Hornet into the Slab to silence a monstrous presence known only as the Wailing Creature. By the end of the hunt, that creature reveals itself as the Broodmother, and her eye becomes the proof needed to complete the quest. For players exploring Silksong in 2026, this guide covers every step, from unlocking the wish to turning in the final item.

The quest adds depth to Pharloom’s lore while giving players a challenging Grand Hunt that feels distinct from standard exploration.
