Many players find themselves wondering how to complete the `Wandering Merchant` quest in Hollow Knight: Silksong. This mission, alongside `Lost Merchant,` centers around an important NPC named Jubilana. She appears to have encountered difficulties during her explorations within the Citadel. Rescuing her is crucial, as her shop offers valuable items and upgrades.
Jubilana`s Locations and Quest Progression for Wandering Merchant and Lost Merchant
Both the Wandering Merchant and Lost Merchant quests are initiated from the wish board located in Songclave, a small hub situated in the far-right section of the Choral Chamber. However, Jubilana`s quests won`t immediately be available. To unlock them, you`ll need to follow these steps:
- Ring the bell within Songclave and engage in conversation with the Caretaker.
- Depart from Songclave using fast travel and then return after some time.
- Complete several other side quests from the wish board to advance.
Finding Jubilana: Locations for Wandering Merchant and Lost Merchant Quests
The image above illustrates Jubilana`s potential locations for both the Wandering Merchant and Lost Merchant quests in Hollow Knight: Silksong. A detailed breakdown follows:
- The Wandering Merchant quest becomes available on the Songclave wish board relatively early, typically around the midpoint of Act 2.
- For this quest, Jubilana can be found on the left side of the Choral Chamber, specifically above and to the left of the Whiteward entrance. Clear out all hostile creatures in the area to ensure her safety.
- Conversely, the Lost Merchant quest becomes accessible much later in the game`s progression. It often requires completing additional side quests from the Songclave board, such as “Fine Pins,” “Balm for the Wounded,” among others.
- Once you accept the Lost Merchant quest, proceed to the Memorium zone and navigate to its lower-right corner. A hidden passage there grants access to an open area that connects to the Putrefied Ducts. Jubilana will be encircled by several flying adversaries; defeat them until the area is secure.
Jubilana`s Inventory: Items Available for Purchase
After successfully completing her quests, Jubilana expands her inventory with a variety of new and unique items. Upon finishing the `Wandering Merchant` quest in Hollow Knight: Silksong, you`ll gain access to these special goods:

Additional Rewards and Campaign Implications
This concludes our guide on successfully completing the Wandering Merchant and Lost Merchant quests in Hollow Knight: Silksong. The merchandise available from Jubilana is not the sole benefit of rescuing her.
