All Sinner's Road Benches Locations and How to Activate Them

Find all Sinner's Road Bench locations in Hollow Knight: Silksong. Learn how to activate the first bench and discover the second bench's location and its rewards.

This guide details the locations and activation methods for the benches found in Sinner's Road in Hollow Knight: Silksong.

Sinner’s Road Bench - West

The first bench is located on the left side of the zone. Enter Sinner's Road from the Greymoor region by parkouring up the left-most tower and following the path. Proceed through the cage area until you reach a room with the Green Prince in a cage above. Follow the pathway up and then platform left. This leads to a locked doorway; drop down and hit the lever to open it. Inside this new room, you'll encounter silk leeches that consume your skill if you fall into the murky waters. It is advised to heal up here as the upcoming puzzle requires health. Use an aerial attack to bounce over swinging blades, then dash and hover to a platform to activate the bench. You can also speak to Shakra here to buy the Sinner's Road Map for 90 rosaries. The bench itself costs 60 rosaries.

Activating the West Bench

The bench will not work immediately. To activate it:

1. Wall jump up towards the top-left corner of the room and attack the slightly discolored part of the wall.
2. This will break into a new hallway. Proceed left and then fall down, timing your falls to avoid pendulum blades.
3. Continue down, navigating spike traps and more swinging blades. Use aerial attacks and dashes to land on platforms.
4. Reach the bottom-right of the area and destroy the plant roots blocking the bench's mechanism.
5. Once the plants are destroyed, the bench will be functional. Wall jump out of the area and destroy the floorboard to escape. You can now return right to use the bench.

Second Sinner’s Road Bench

The second bench is located on the far east side of Sinner's Road. Exit the room with the first bench and climb up the main vertical room. Go right and drop down through the second vertical room, then proceed right through an area with spike walls. Continue through cages, smashing the gates open. At the end of this hallway, you will find two rat critters near a golden ray of light. Kill the creatures, and an NPC named Styx will spawn. He will grant you a bench to rest at. Returning later after leaving and coming back will yield a reward from Styx, allowing you to retrieve your death silk cocoon.

A shortcut back to Greymoor is available via a cage on the bottom level near the east bench, leading to an area with a Spool part upgrade. Additionally, a Simple Key can be found near the top of the Sinner's Road vertical room closest to the east bench.
