The “Lost Delivery” side quest within Hollow Knight: Silksong may initially appear to be an optional task that can be tackled later. However, completing it unlocks a significant benefit. A potential snag is the quest giver’s intentionally ambiguous guidance, which can easily send players down the wrong path.

Our Silksong “Lost Delivery” guide will steer you in the correct direction and quickly lead you to the stranded delivery bug.


Find the ‘Lost Delivery’ Quest in Hollow Knight: Silksong

To initiate “Lost Delivery,” you must locate the Bellhart request board. This becomes accessible only after the enchantment affecting Bellhart has been lifted. This occurs following your success in overcoming Widow and finishing the “Threadspun Town” assignment. You’ll have to complete this one regardless to move forward.

After the community heals, check out the request board situated near Frey’s store, on the left of Bellhart’s bench. There, you can obtain the “Lost Delivery” mission, alongside other requests, such as “Silver Bells.” Frey seeks your assistance in locating their missing messenger bug. All they know is it was last spotted within Shellwood.

The courier is located in the higher levels of Mosshome, in a spot normally inaccessible from below, even with the ability to cling to walls. Proceed rapidly through lower Shellwood, leaving through the lower left pathway, NOT the one at the same elevation as Bellway (that directs you to Blasted Steps). Utilize the Drifter’s Cloak to descend towards the highlighted location. Overcome the two caranid enemies tormenting the courier, converse with the newly rescued bug, and then return to Bellhart.

If you would prefer a longer journey, investigate hints left by the courier, which start in the passageway connecting Shellwood’s bottom areas. These traces will lead you on a slightly more circuitous path, but you’ll still arrive at your desired location.
