Hollow Knight: Silksong – Great Taste of Pharloom Quest Guide
Tackling the Great Taste of Pharloom quest in Hollow Knight: Silksong is one of the most exciting challenges you’ll face. Ready to help Loyal Mergwin whip up a gourmet meal in the Choral Chambers? You’ll need to collect five unique items from all over the kingdom, and trust me, it’s going to require some serious exploring and skill.
Item Collection Breakdown
1. Mossberry Stew
To grab this item, head over to the Moss Druid in Mosshome, located above Bone Bottom. You may need to finish her Berrypicking quest first, which involves finding three Mossberries.
2. Vintage Nectar
You can buy Vintage Nectar from Creige at the Halfway House for 480 Rosaries. Before tackling this, prepare for a mini-arena fight with red ants in his basement.
3. Pickled Muckmaggot
This comes from the Disgraced Chef Lugoli in Sinner’s Road. Make sure you’ve unlocked the Faydown Cloak (double jump) to access the arena. The boss fight here is challenging, so stay alert to dodge maggot balls!
4. Crustnut
You’ll need to beat the Great Conchflies boss in Blasted Steps to access the Sands of Karak, where the Crustnut is located. Use your Clawline ability above the Pinstress’s balloon to find it.
5. Courier’s Rasher
For the final item, you need to complete a series of quests to find Courier Tipp and Courier Pill. This can be a bit complex; you’ll have to rescue both characters, and then you’ll be tasked with delivering the Rasher back to Loyal Mergwin in a timed challenge.
Tips for Success:
- Movement Abilities: Make sure you’ve unlocked the Clawline and Faydown Cloak! They are essential for navigating the challenging areas where these items are located.
- Speed Boost: Consider using Flea Juice from The Lost Fleas quest to speed things up during the delivery mission.
- Manage Time: During the delivery of the Courier’s Rasher, you can pause the game by bringing up the map, which can save you from losing precious time!
Reward After Quest
Once you deliver all items, Loyal Mergwin will prepare a special dish and reward you with some Pale Oil for upgrading your needle. If this is your second upgrade, be ready to fork over 500 Rosaries—but trust me, it’s worth it for the boost in damage!
Now you’re all set to tackle the Great Taste of Pharloom quest in Silksong! Happy hunting!

Tackling the Great Taste of Pharloom quest in Hollow Knight: Silksong is likely one of the most involved quests you’ll pursue in the game. Feeding Loyal Mergwin’s master in the Choral Chambers’ dining hall requires you to collect five unique items from throughout the kingdom, which, in turn, means you’ll have to explore extensively and acquire most of the game’s movement abilities. You’ll need both the Clawline and Faydown Cloak to grab the Crustnut and the Pickled Muckmaggot, not to mention that those abilities will help a lot when delivering the Courier’s Rasher, on foot, to the dining hall and Loyal Mergwin. Here, I’ll explain where to find each item in the Great Taste of Pharloom quest, and I’ve also included a video of my Courier’s Rasher route so you know which way to go.
