Hollow Knight Silksong - How to get Pimpillo

Pimpillo is a Red Tool that you can equip to your crest in Hollow Knight: Silksong. Check out how to get Pimpillo, its location, and its effects here!

List of Contents

How to Get Pimpillo

  1. Bring a Craftmetal
  2. Head to Greymoor
  3. Break the Vines
  4. Craft the Pimpillo

Bring a Craftmetal

Moss Grotto Craftmetal

Before proceeding, make sure you have a Craftmetal in your inventory, as you’ll need it to craft the Pimpillo once you reach its location.

An easy way to obtain a Craftmetal is by purchasing it from Pebb in Moss Grotto for 60 Rosaries.

All Craftmetal Locations and How to Use

Head to Greymoor

Pimpillo Location

Once you have the Craftmetal, go to Greymoor and head left from Halfway Home and climb past the rotating spikes. Head into the upper left doorway and follow the path to Yarnaby's home, before climbing up into the alcove.

The path is mostly straightforward, with only a few enemies and platforms to deal with, so just keep reaching the top left area until you reach a dead end.

Be Sure to Unlock the Cling Grip

How to Get Pimpillo Wall Jump

As you reach the dead end, you'll need to climb up to reach the Pimpillo, which you can only do with the Wall Jump unlocked. Be sure to have the Cling Grip to unlock this ability.

How to Unlock Wall Jump

Break the Vines

Breakable Vine Ceiling

Once you reach the top, break the vines to gain access to the topmost room. Use the Cling Grip to hang on the wall to the left and swipe upward to break the vines.

Craft the Pimpillo

Pimpillo Location

At the top, approach the table and you’ll be able to craft the Pimpillo. Again, make sure you have a Craftmetal to do this!

How to Use Pimpillo

Throw to Blow Enemies Off

Pimpillo is a great tool for attacking enemies and bosses from range. It’s also good for farming Seared Organs during the Broodfeast Quest if you don’t yet have any Flintslate for the quest.
