Best Hollow Knight Silksong Enemies To Kill To Get Rosary Beads Fast

• Beating up cursed pilgrims: Pharloom is full of friendly pilgrims who have been cursed and now want to fight you on sight. Just your average Tuesday in a Hollow Knight game. Defeat them and collect the beads they drop.
• Exploring every nook and cranny: Just like in Hallownest, smashing stuff and poking into secret areas is the way to go. You might find structures that explode into a shower of beads or stumble upon the bodies of less fortunate pilgrims who conveniently left their savings behind (Finders keepers, right?)
• Completing “wishes”: The wish system is brilliant in its simplicity. These wishes are mini-quests that reward you handsomely for completion. The key strategy here is batching them; the idea is to complete several tasks and then submit them all at once for a substantial payday.

Rosary Jackpots: Enemies Carrying the Most Beads

Alright, let’s get to the good stuff. If you want to get rich quickly in Pharloom, you need to know which enemies are the most profitable piggy banks. Farming is the name of the game, and if Silksong is anything like its predecessor, you’ll be doing a lot of it. Here’s the totally-not-made-up breakdown of the best enemies to hunt down for those sweet, sweet Rosary Beads.

• Early Game Farming: The Weeping Pilgrims
  In the early stages, you’re not going to be rolling in beads. You’ll encounter “Weeping Pilgrims” who, despite their sad demeanor, will try to shank you. They only drop a few beads, but they’re weak and plentiful. Find a good spot near a bench, and you can practice your parries while making a little pocket change. It’s tedious, but it’s honest work.
• Mid-Game Money Maker: The Gilded Sentinels
  Once you’ve powered up a bit, you’ll want to find the “Gilded Sentinels.” These guys are tougher, probably covered in some shiny metal, and hit like a truck. But with great risk comes great reward because they drop a hefty amount of Rosary Beads. They’re the Great Husk Sentries of Pharloom, but hopefully less annoying.
• Late Game Bonanza: The Bell-Ringing Zealots
  Deep in Pharloom, you’ll supposedly find the “Bell-Ringing Zealots.” These fanatics are fast, aggressive, and probably have some kind of ranged attack that will make you want to throw your controller. The payoff? A veritable explosion of Rosary Beads. Find a good charm/tool combo to take them down quickly, and you’ll be funding your entire late-game shopping spree.

How to Avoid Losing Your Hard-Earned Beads

Remember the soul-crushing feeling of dying twice and losing all your Geo? Well, it’s back, and it brought friends. When Hornet kicks the bucket, she drops all her loose Rosary Beads. You have one chance to get back to your silky corpse and reclaim them. Die again, and they vanish into the void, lost forever.

But there’s a solution! You can convert your loose beads into Rosary Strings at certain vendors to prevent the loss of all your beads. Think of it like a bank, but with a ridiculous service fee. When you create a Rosary String, it holds 60 beads for the cost of 80 beads total. Losing 20 Rosary beads so you don’t lose all your beads upon Hornet’s death is a worthwhile sacrifice to make.

Advanced Bead Management

Checking Vendor Prices

Once you get vendor pins from the map NPC, Hollow Knight Silksong’s world opens up in terms of strategic spending. Different vendors offer different value propositions, and understanding these relationships can maximize your bead efficiency. Some vendors are clearly better for certain types of purchases – don’t just spend beads willy-nilly on the first shiny thing you see. Plan your purchases based on your current needs and progression goals.

The Psychology of Bead Hoarding

Here’s something nobody talks about: the psychological pressure of carrying large amounts of beads. When you’re sitting on 300+ beads, every enemy encounter becomes more stressful because the stakes are higher. Whether it’s spending beads as soon as you get them or hoarding them for big purchases, find your comfort level and stick to it. It is all about finding what works for your playstyle and stress tolerance.

Final Thoughts: The Bead Farmer

The art of Rosary Bead farming in Hollow Knight Silksong is about strategy, patience, and learning from your mistakes (which means you will die a lot). With each death comes a teachable moment about enemy patterns, mapping safe routes, or bead management. Team Cherry’s farming system never feels purely mechanical because it’s integrated into the world’s lore and Hornet’s progression. So string your beads together because Pharloom’s mysteries aren’t going to solve themselves.
