In Hollow Knight: Silksong, Rosary Beads take the place of Geo as the main currency, but they function very differently from what players might remember in the original adventure. Instead of piling up quickly from nearly every defeated enemy, beads are far rarer and demand careful collection, making every piece feel valuable. This scarcity changes the pace of progression and encourages players to think strategically about how they gather and spend them.
Mastering the different ways to earn Rosary Beads is essential, as they’re needed for everything from buying maps and tools to unlocking key upgrades from Pharloom’s merchants. Whether exploring dangerous new areas, taking down powerful enemies, or uncovering hidden stashes, knowing how to build up your stockpile can be the difference between struggling and thriving in Hornet’s journey.
