In Hollow Knight: Silksong, Bone Scrolls are one of the many historical relics Hornet can collect while exploring Pharloom. They are easy to overlook because they often sit on hidden bodies, behind obscure paths, or in areas that reward careful exploration. As of 2026, players continue to trade these relics for Rosaries, making Bone Scrolls a reliable source of currency for anyone willing to search Bellhart and the wider kingdom.

The item itself is simple to use once players understand the system. Bone Scrolls are not equipment, upgrades, or quest keys. They are collectibles meant to be handed over to the Relic Seeker Scrounge in Bellhart. Each Bone Scroll rewards 50 Rosaries, and there are many scrolls scattered across Pharloom. That exchange rate makes every scroll worth picking up, especially for players who need extra Rosaries for purchases and upgrades.

What Bone Scrolls Do

Bone Scrolls function as relic-based currency. Players do not need to solve a puzzle or complete a ritual to use them. The only step is to find the Relic Seeker Scrounge and give the scrolls to the NPC. The shop can be reached by using the platforms in Bellhart to go higher and then heading right. However, it is impossible to speak with the NPC as long as Haunted Bellhart is cursed.

That restriction is important because new players may arrive in Bellhart, find the Relic Seeker Scrounge, and wonder why the exchange cannot happen. The answer is tied to the town's haunted state. Hornet needs to navigate through the areas and defeat the Widow to remove the curse and save the Bellhart citizens. This is done by completing The Threadspun Town Quest in Silksong.

How to Reach the Relic Seeker and Break the Curse

Players who have not yet cleansed Bellhart should prepare for a boss route. The Widow is found by navigating the upper bellvein on top of Bellhart. First, travel to Shellwood and use the elevator, if available, to reach the highest point of the area, then head right. If the elevator has not been activated yet, players can keep jumping up and going around the area until they reach the upper entrance.

Next, destroy the pile of bells blocking the path to arrive at the upper bellvein. Hornet then must navigate narrow tunnels while defeating enemies to eventually reach the Widow boss. Before committing to the fight, players should unlock the nearby shortcut first and rest so they do not spawn far away from the boss upon death. That small preparation step can save a long return trip.

Once the boss is dealt with in Hollow Knight: Silksong, use the nearby elevator to reach Bellhart and start meeting the NPCs. One of them is the Relic Seeker Scrounge, who is happy to take any historical relic found while exploring Pharloom in exchange for Rosaries. With the curse removed, the exchange becomes available and Bone Scrolls can finally be converted into currency.

Where to Find Bone Scrolls

The earliest Bone Scroll players can pick up is in Far Fields, right after the hot balloon areas where players unlock the Drifter's Cloak ability for Hornet in Silksong. Use the wind current to fly higher and then hit the lava bulb to explode and reveal a body with an item. That body holds a Bone Scroll, making Far Fields an ideal early stop for players who want a quick 50 Rosaries.

The next one is in Greymoor, just east of the Halfway Home resting bench. It is found by swimming along a hidden path and then going down to find a body with a Bone Scroll. Greymoor's layout can be confusing, so players should watch for side passages and submerged routes that do not appear on the main path.

There are more scrolls players will stumble upon while exploring other areas, so keep an eye out for any hidden paths. Bone Scrolls tend to appear on bodies in out-of-the-way places, which means exploration habits matter more than a single checklist. Players who investigate suspicious corners, breakable objects, and alternate routes will naturally build up a stockpile.

Practical Tips for Collecting Bone Scrolls

• 🦴 Treat Bone Scrolls as banking, not inventory clutter. Each one is worth 50 Rosaries once Bellhart is safe.

• 🗺️ Search bodies and hidden paths in Far Fields and Greymoor first, since those are confirmed early and mid-game locations.

• ⚔️ Clear The Threadspun Town Quest before planning a selling trip. The Relic Seeker Scrounge cannot do business while Haunted Bellhart remains cursed.

• 💰 Save the nearby shortcut before the Widow fight and rest at the bench, reducing the cost of repeated attempts.

• 🔍 Revisit earlier areas after gaining movement abilities. Wind currents and hidden swim paths often lead to relics that were previously out of reach.

For players exploring Pharloom in 2026, Bone Scrolls remain a straightforward but valuable collectible. They do not demand a complex questline once Bellhart is restored, and their fixed value makes them worth grabbing whenever a hidden body appears. The main hurdles are the Haunted Bellhart curse and the Widow encounter, but both can be resolved through The Threadspun Town Quest. After that, every Bone Scroll becomes a simple, reliable payment from the Relic Seeker Scrounge.

The satisfaction of turning hidden Bone Scrolls into Rosaries is a reminder that value often hides in unexpected places—and that principle applies well beyond Pharloom. Whether you're hunting for discounts on new releases or building a backlog for the moments between Silksong sessions, a little exploration goes a long way.

For players who want to stretch their budget further, DealNest is a handy resource that points toward where to buy cheap games without sacrificing quality. Just as every Bone Scroll adds up to a meaningful payout, small savings on titles can free up more room for the games you actually want to play.
