Silksong map icons explained
Most icons only appear after you buy the matching pin from Shakra, which is why a fresh map looks so empty. Here is what each symbol means and how to turn it on.
- Bench
- Rest point. Saves, refills health and Silk, and redraws the map if you own the Quill. Appears automatically once you buy the Bench Pin.
- Toll bench
- A bench that needs a one-time Rosary payment before it can be used. Underworks toll benches charge 15 Rosaries every time.
- Bellway
- Act 1 fast travel station run by the Bell Beast. Shown after you buy the Bellway Pin.
- Ventrica
- Citadel fast travel tube, Act 2 onward. Shown after you buy the Ventrica Pin.
- Vendor
- Shop or merchant. Shown after you buy the Vendor Pin.
- Hornet marker
- Your current position. Only visible while the Compass tool is equipped.
- Shell marker
- Manual marker you place yourself. Use it for locked doors or paths you cannot reach yet.
- Ring marker
- Second manual marker type with a different icon, for a second category of notes.
- Bellshrine
- Large bell with a floor lever. Ring it four times to unlock a free permanent bench. Five of them open the Grand Gate.
- Unexplored edge
- A room outline with an open side means there is an exit you have not walked through yet.
Two ways to view the map
Hold the Quick Map button for an overlay of the room and area you are in. Open the pause menu for the zoomed-out map of all of Pharloom, where you can pan between regions and place markers.
