A breakdown of items available from a merchant, detailing their potential uses and lore implications.
Shop Items Guide
Item Name | Description & Function |
---|---|
Magnetite Brooch | A charm-like item that likely functions as a Geo Magnet, automatically drawing in Rosaries (the game’s currency, likely replacing Geo) from a distance, reducing the need to walk over them. |
Mask Shard | A fragment of a health vessel. Collecting a certain number of these shards (typically 4) will form a complete new Mask, increasing Hornet’s maximum health. |
Craftmetal | A rare crafting material used by blacksmiths (like the one in the screenshot) to forge new Tools or upgrade existing ones. It is described as being very durable. |
Simple Key | A utility key used to unlock specific, hidden doors or chests scattered throughout the world, likely granting access to valuable secrets or areas. Its origin hints at importance. |
Mosslands Map | The map for the Mosslands area. Purchasing this will reveal the layout of these overgrown, reflective caves on Hornet’s map, making navigation significantly easier. |
Shellwood Map | The map for the Shellwood area. This tangled, dangerous region is filled with hostile flora and fauna; this map is essential for navigating its deadly, root-choked paths. |
Compass | A key navigation tool. Unlike the original game’s Charm, this appears to be a standard item that marks Hornet’s precise location on the map at all times. |
Bench Pins | A map upgrade that automatically marks the locations of Benches (save/rest points) and other safe rest spots on your map once they are discovered. |
Sting Shard | Likely a crafting material used to construct traps. The vendor’s comment suggests Hornet can devise and build “devious implements,” indicating a new trap-based gameplay mechanic. |
Magma Bell | A Blue Tool that provides a passive defensive effect, specifically granting immunity to environmental lava and extreme heat hazards in areas like the Deep Docks. |
Crafting Kit | A fundamental key item that unlocks the ability to craft tools and items at workbenches. This is likely the gateway to Silksong’s expanded crafting system. |
Shard Bundle | A bundle of repair materials (likely Shell Shards). This consumable resource is used to repair broken Red Tools while traveling, ensuring your offensive gear is always functional. |
