The Lost Fleas quest in Hollow Knight Silksong is an exciting journey that challenges you to track down five elusive Fleas scattered throughout Pharloom. While their locations are often off the beaten path, this guide will ensure you find each one effortlessly. I’ve listed them in the order I discovered them, but feel free to adjust based on your exploration style.
Before embarking on your search, make sure to talk to the Fleamaster located in The Marrow. Not only will he shed light on the missing Fleas, but he also has a cozy bench by his caravan where you can rest. Let’s dive into the specifics of each Flea’s location.
All Five Lost Flea Locations in Hollow Knight Silksong
| Flea Number | Location | Where to Find |
|---|---|---|
| Flea #1 | The Marrow | The first Flea is in the upper chambers of The Marrow. Head up from the Fleamaster and reach a split path. Go left for Shakra and Mosshome, or up using the platforms. Watch out for enemies as you jump towards the right to find the first missing Flea. |
| Flea #2 | Deep Docks | You’ll easily spot this Flea along the path where you unlock the Dash ability. Simply head left from that spot and make your way to the higher sections of the chamber. |
| Flea #3 | Deep Docks | From your current position, jump left over a bug and break through a wall to reveal a chamber filled with lava. Navigate carefully using the platforms to move left, and then jump upwards. You’ll encounter a few flying enemies, so proceed with caution before heading right to locate your next Flea. |
| Flea #4 | Hunter’s March | If you’ve taken down Skarrguard at the entrance, your search becomes much easier. Head inside, and use pogo jumps on the buds above to find the Lost Flea—keeping to the rising path. |
| Flea #5 | Far Fields | Access the hidden room on the far right of the Far Fields. You’ll need to break through a wall to enter. Inside, keep an eye out for a Skarr Scout and some tricky traps as you locate the final Flea. |
For your convenience, I’ve provided screenshots of the map locations to help you navigate directly to each spot.

How can I defeat Skarrguard more easily? Focus on learning Skarrguard’s attack patterns and use defensive moves accordingly. Being strategic with your jumps and dashes can give you the upper hand in this encounter.
Are there any tips for navigating the Deep Docks? To navigate the Deep Docks without much hassle, take your time exploring each section. Use the walls for jumping and breaking through obstacles and remember to be cautious of lava areas and flying enemies.
