All Silksong Mossberry locations for the Berry Picking quest

Finding all three Mossberry locations in the Berry Picking wish, is one of the first real quests you're likely to encounter in Hollow Knight: Silksong. It doesn't take all that much exploring in Mosshome, early in the game, to run into the Moss Druid and receive her request to find three berries for her cooking pot.

Eagle-eyed explorers will likely have found multiple Mossberries already, considering there are two in the Moss Grove area that you start the game in. That said, you'll need a third to bring to the druid and complete the quest. There are multiple potential locations where you can get this third berry, especially as you can sell any additional berries to the Moss Druid after the quest is done for rosaries.

Below, I'll provide the three easiest Mossberry locations for the quest, but also an additional Mossberry you can grab and sell after the quest without that much extra effort. Since she pays 80 rosaries per berry, it's definitely worth it early on.

All Silksong Mossberry locations for the Moss Druid

There are four potential Mossberries to find in the lower areas of Pharloom, but you'll only need three for the Moss Druid and the Berry Picking quest. If you find the additional berry (or any others), you can hand them in after the quest is complete for a whopping 80 Rosaries.

Mossberry location #1: Moss Grotto

In the starting area of the Moss Grotto, before you fight the Moss Mother, you can find the first berry near the open field area where you encounter the two moss grubs feeding together. Jump up the rock ledges just a little way back from them, near the flying enemy, and hit the hanging berry to retrieve it.

Mossberry location #2: Also Moss Grotto

The next berry is also in the Moss Grotto, just before you reach the chapel and the Moss Mother fight. It's basically impossible not to spot this one since it's hanging directly in your path with a flying moss enemy nearby. To reach it, you'll have to wait for the enemy to stab into the ground, then do a downward attack on its head as it rises so you can bounce up and attack the berry.

Mossberry location #3: Below the Moss Druid

This one is easy to grab near the Moss Druid. Head out of their dwelling in Mosshome and immediately drop down into the room below, then look under the ledge below you for a hidden space containing a bug flying around with a Mossberry. Kill this to retrieve it.

Mossberry location #4: Above Bone Bottom

There is one additional Mossberry above Bone Bottom. To get here, you should:

  1. Go to The Marrow Bellway and head left through Mosshome
  2. Drop down at the far end past the pilgrim enemies
  3. Head immediately left to find yourself above Bone Bottom
  4. Drop down again to find a lift (activate this in case you fall off)
  5. Continue right along the platforms and look down to spot a flying bug carrying a Mossberry

This guy is tricky to hit, but if you fall down to Bone Bottom, simply get the lift back up (it spawns on the left side of the town) and try again until you succeed.

Bring three of these Mossberries to the Moss Druid and you'll get the Druids Eye amulet. When you take damage, it produces a green substance that turns into silk you can then use. As mentioned, you can also deliver any other Mossberry you find for some Rosaries. I'm also pretty sure completing this quest is necessary as part of the Great Taste of Pharloom quest later in the game.
