Looking for Shakra in Hollow Knight: Silksong? The caverns of Pharloom are windy and treacherous, and mapping them is one of Hollow Knight: Silksong's biggest challenges. Assisting you in this arduous endeavour is Shakra, who can be identified by her singing. But Shakra's not just a vocalist - she's also the game's cartographer and sells map fragments along with a Compass, a Quill, and a variety of useful markers that you can use to indicate Benches, Bellway fast travel points, and other notable areas on your map.
Alas, Shakra is often hidden in off-the-beaten path sections of the world, and she'll respawn in a fresh place when you unlock a new region. This guide will help you out by providing a full list of all Shakra map locations in Hollow Knight: Silksong. For your convenience, we've also listed the location of map fragments that can be found without running into Shakra.

Shakra map locations
Use the table below to identify all locations where Shakra can be found selling maps, the items she sells at each location, as well as their price.
Note that the pins, markers, and other non-map pieces that Shakra sells can be purchased from multiple locations - we've simply listed the region we first purchased them in. If Shakra disappears from a particular place, move to the next one to find her. She will always sell the maps and items that you missed in her next location.
Keep in mind that Shakra's maps are incomplete, and you must purchase a Quill from her and then rest at a Bench to fully outline rooms that you've visited. See our Silksong beginner's guide for more info.
