Hollow Knight Silksong All NPCs
Garmond and Zaza
Guurroooo! Scoundrel! Fiend! Who dares wake brave Garmond from his well needed kip!
Sherma
Oh, but of course I sing! I am Sherma, a pilgrim just like you. I hear the call of the great Citadel just like every other devout soul
Huntress
Ssssppiidderr... Your sssthench is strange... yet similar. Your tension isss smelt strong. Do I ssseem a threat to you?
Eva
Lady? So you live, still. This is good... I had felt the conflict commence, pale hearts ablaze, and the sudden well of darkness after.
Flick the Fixer
They're a popular thing about Pharloom, wishwalls. Useful too. So many prayers left unanswered. Gives 'em a place to go.
Chapel Maid
Up with you! Up! I won't have you dying on my floor!
Pilby
Rest here with me as long as you like. I'm not ready to leave yet, and a little company is always nice.
Fearful Pilgrim
Down here you can't hear the cries of the pilgrims above, only the faintly ringing bells. I'll stay and meditate a little longer, before I start my own pilgrimage...
Fleamaster Mooshka
Stranger, will you hear my worry? The time has come for us fleas to find each other and travel together, as has happened through generations before.
Grishkin
Dodeshna, Dodeshna! I am saying, welcome to our caravan, stranger!
Varga
Dodeshna, stranger. You are looking a little... tired, is it? Unhealthy?
Moss Druid
Mm. Mmm! Who is it? An intruder! Terrible! To interrupt a humble druid as they work!
Seamstress
Well, aren't you a sight! No, don't tell me! You're as odd as they come.
Ballow
If you need something, talk to the boss. I'm busy.
Weary Pilgrim
Uoohhh... Sister, my aching shell's close to breaking. My voice weakens... I can hardly sing a word.
Nuu
Oooh ma! Sweet surprise for Nuu! You are adult, yes? Fully grown? Ready to hunt?
Creige
Harh! Well met, traveller. Lookin for a drink, or a rest, or both?
Pinmaster Plinney
By claw! Are you then our saviour in the shell? Standing so calm and cool on entrance to Plinney's bellhome!
Greyroot
Shhhh... shell. White mask, red cloak. Bug. A living bug.
Relic Seeker Scrounge
What? What, what? Who is it? What've you got? What do you want?
Pinstress
So rude! To raise a Pinstress from their deep meditation! You carry on with that brash behaviour and you're likely to be stuck quick through!
Courier Tipp
Oh! Those horrible beasty-beasts are gone! Much and many thanks for you, mighty warrior!
Pavo
Welcome, welcome, weary pilgrim! Though glorious Bellhart may be past its finest shine, it still remains the last friendly stop before the Citadel. It is the task of I, fair Pavo, to extend the warmest of welcome to those passing devout, such as your good self!
Sprintmaster Swift
Hoi hoi! A nimble opponent appears. At last! At last!
Alchemist Zylotol
Oho? A new face! Not here to bother, I hope? I've critical studies underway in these twisting tunnels and can afford no distractions! You haven't met Zagon, my assistant, by chance? An indolent sort? Short, slovenly, rather unreliable-seeming?
Crull and Benjin
Oi, why you come in here, all treadin' muck? With that nasty-lookin' poker by yer side? Eh?
Second Sentinel
Woken, is this sentinel. F-f-f-functional, is its shell. Still devoted, is this s-s-sentinel, and awaiting your commandment.
Loddie
Ola, ola! Welcome my lady, so glad you found us here! I can see you're blessed with strong limbs and keen sight. Fond of frolics are you? Keen to test your aim? We'd be right honoured to play a little game with you. A little test of skill we've set up.
Courier Pill
Safely-saved is Pill! But who is this rare carer for the shell of another? Name yourself, good bug!
Green Prince
Leave me be, traveller. Better I accept this kingdon's cruelty than rage helpless against it. To waste in a cell, forgotten. 'Tis no worse a fate than the Haunting that binds Pharloom's many fragile minds.
Yarnaby
Shoo I say! Unless you've brought a worthy specimen, with something trule nasty inside them, bzzt! Otherwise, leave the great Yarnaby in peace!
Kratt
Ooh, heh heh heh! What a turn, for dear Kratt to be strung up in such a dank little cave!
Loyal Mergwin
What an awful clattering! Would you kindly conduct yourself a little more carefully? And why are you adorned in such awful, livid red? By my oath, those above must make a sport of sending me the most wretched servants they can find!
Snail Shamans
You seem displeased, Old One. We only did as you asked, yes? The snare is sprung, the creature consumed.
Gilly
Goodness! This is just too embarrassing! Detected even through my perfect cover! What tell? What error? Surely something gave me away!
Mister Mushroom
...Crossed weapons, sleeping of course, but shaped unlike any you've seen before...
Styx
Sssss! I saw you. I sssss-saw what you did! Strong you are, misstress! Sss-ssmall, but so so deadly. And you ssscent! Well-aged!
Caretaker
It's feelin' almost time, eh, bellringer? You and her who waits up there. That fated meeting won't hold forever... Ready to make your play, to oust one ruler and claim her place?
Bell Hermit
What do you want, slave?
Conductor Ballador
A visitor? Now this is rare. I must apologise for not rising to greet you. After an age spent sickly, I find myself unable to lift from this bedchamber. I hope, good pilgrim, our Citadel has shown you the courtesy deserved of a bug devout.
Mask Maker
A visitor! Grand you are. But you have already a mask. Already a face. It is for those without that I must carve.
Vaultkeeper Cardinius
She carries a precious cylinder! She must give it! Share it! Claw to claw! Pass it! And this Vaultkeeper shall grant their wisdom. Just a small taste! A trickle! A glimmer! Of our Citadel's sacred understandings.
Loam
Hrr. Hrrrrr. Who is there? Me can not... can not clear see....
Lumble the Lucky
Ahh, a fellow pilgrim. I've been praying along here too long, with only the wind's voice to join mine. We're so close. Our pilgrimage is almost over. Just one final, brutal climb, hm?
Old Penitent
S... song, is it? You have brough song? You are of the Citadel, then? How... how many of you?
Flea Caravan
A place for fleas to grow smart and strong...
.jpg "Steel Seer Zi NPC Hollow Knight Silksong Wiki Guide")
Steel Seer Zi
...Bug... Higher... It has come seeking... Zi is found... She is awoken.
Sula
No. No. No... My champion slain! Why do you do this, cruel slasher? Why must I stay, and serve, so long, long, long?
Pondcatcher Reed
You've met Frey, miss? She's usually stocking useful items for travellers such as yourself.
Broodling
Yummy, yummy... oh! Are you here to serve me?
Pious Isamor
Hark! ...ilgrim! You... climb... our eternal embrace... who stand stru... the threshold... our stark Citadel of stone... kno... true service may now commence. Forget... your weary shell. Forgo... urge to still... arloom commands... give... greatest gift! Join our chor... Raise... shell... voice... and sing!
Scared Pilgrim
So you found this place too, sister? This Citadel's grand promise has been strangled away by cursed thread, but at least the great bell here grants us some sanctuary. We're amongst the blessed few... granted just a little more living.
Runt
Hunter... Shining claw... Do not killsss... Mine is ssshell thin. Taste is poor... Me'sss born not like siblingsss, themsss large and hard... All themsss did feasted and flew.
Skynx
I can sense you. Hidden. The morsselssssss. Give them. Take.
Tall Pilgrim
The gate... the gate! O, the Grand Gate to the Citadel stands before us! We are so close! O mighty ones beyond the gate, we beg you! Open the way and let we poor, insignificant little pilgrims crawl into the light...
Seth
Hm? Apologies friend, I fear I don't recognise you. And I'm sure I would remember such a striking figure!
Hollow Knight Silksong All Merchants
Shakra
I am a navigator amongst my tribe and have been making maps of these lands. I can trade them with you, and supplies, if you wish.
Forge Daughter
A smith? Hardly so crude! We are Forge Daughter! How can a pointy bug not tell? Ours is the ancient line and honoured role. These docks and lands around are fortunate to have our skills.
Pebb
O-oh! Traveller! Destined for the Citadel, yes? Well, before you embark, won't you stop and make trade with an old pilgrim?
Mort
Come to rest your weary body? The climb is agonising, and even the devout must mind their limits.
Frey
Ah! Well, I'm a clever bug. When that strange thread struck down from above, I shut up tight and huddled in my bellhome. Might've been a problem for the others here, but my store was flush with supplies, so no fear I'd go hungry.
Jubilana
Ooh, what a turn-up! I'd feared t'was naught but meself left sane about these halls. Seems this old bug's luck has not yet worn thin!
Mottled Skarr
Rkraha. Uohk kha!
Twelfth Architect
Bug-Red. Do you ask-need our service? We shall create, as is our d-d-directive. To serve, for Pharloom eternal.
Grindle
Hoy! Hoyyyy! You there! Get us out of here! Since when's a little light thievery worth a lifelong sentence?

There are an NPC called Broodling spawn after you defeat the BroodMother in the Slab. He mention about "Tell the big one to bring him more Food", not sure what he mean.

i found an NPC called Pious Isamor. He's at the bottom of Whispering Vaults, on the southeast exit. Well, the one that exits to Underworks, not Bilewater. There's a breakable ceiling above the bench. I'm not sure what, if anything, he gives you.

- there's a merchant in The Cauldron (Underworks) called Twelfth Architect that sells gear just above and to the right of the bench
- there's an NPC I met in the Underworks that I can't find anymore. He looks like a giant Hopper from HK, constantly running on a treadmill. If you speak to him he says it's important that he keeps working, otherwise he won't be seen by those above in the city

Loam in the citidel should be added he is hidden a secret area in the Underworks with a treadmill that if you run on 40-50 second will produce one bead. This could have more going on, but that is all I know for now.

wait what about the church keeper? what about seth? and huntress? and bell beast? and lace?
I've been looking for the NPC guy that appears in Songclave that talks about how someone else is doing a better job than Hornet and I don't see him here. He appeared, I believe in Act 3, where the shopkeeper used to be (before the shopkeeper moved to the far right). If you spoke with him you got the said dialogue about this other hero doing better work than me to save the Citadel. I can't remember the exact words. He wasn't there when i returned to Songclave. Who was that? And what was the dialogue even about? I thought it some kind of lot twist but it came to nothing.
