– Frey

Frey is a Merchant in Hollow Knight: Silksong. She sells wares at her shop in Bellhart in exchange for Rosaries.

Background

Frey is Bellhart's shopkeeper. She was able to avoid Widow's control during Bellhart's Haunting by shutting herself in her bellhome.[2]

In-game Events

After Hornet defeats Widow and frees Bellhart from its curse, Frey sells her wares to Hornet in exchange for Rosaries. She expands her stock after the completion of the My Missing Courier wish and does so again after the Bellhome Key has been acquired and used.

Goods

Item Cost Frey's Description Requires

Multibinder

 880 I rarely sell objects as intriguing as this. Supposed to improve a bug's natural ability to heal! Can't say I've felt its effects myself, but then I keep more healthy than most. Completing the My Missing Courier Wish

Spool Fragment

 270 For a spool bearing no Silk, it's surprisingly heavy. Do you think perhaps it could be a gift left behind by the old creeping ones? Completing the My Missing Courier Wish

Memory Locket

 330 An exquisite item, containing a cherished memory. I have an excellent memory myself, but I'm sure you can make good use of it.

Desk

 380 A sturdy desk is the heart of any bellhome! Use it to take stock of your situation or organise your artefacts. Using the Bellhome Key

Gleamlights

 320 Twine-strung globes filled with gleamflies. These'll brighten up even the darkest bell. Using the Bellhome Key

Bell Lacquer

 520 You've a good, solid bell up there, though its surface is showing its age. Why not have us paint it fresh? A protective coat and a little flair! Using the Bellhome Key

Personal Spa

 1100 Care to refresh yourself in a steaming spa? Given your hard labours, I’m sure your shell would thank you for it. Buying 2 other Bellhome items

Gramophone

 490 The Citadel crafted some marvellous machines, and this looks to be one of its finest! Apparently sent by some creepy slitherer hidden away up there, for sale only to you! Buying the Desk and giving all 6 Psalm Cylinders to Vaultkeeper Cardinius

Shard Bundle

 50 Travellers should always keep spare shards close by. We Bellharters were once praised for our fine claw-work. An art lost on most modern pilgrims... excepting yourself I'm sure. Completing the My Missing Courier Wish

Rosary Necklace

 140 Loose rosaries will escape your pockets at the worst of times, and I'm a deft claw at stringing them tight! I can string you a whole necklace, safe and stylish.

Dialogue

General
First Encounter (if the Wish My Missing Courier is already completed, and Widow is defeated before Hornet has ever visited Bellhart) Hornet: Greetings, shopkeeper. Given the hardships of the lands beyond these bells, your store seems in remarkable order.

Aye, well, we've had our tough times too! Of once bustling Bellhart, only a few residents now remain.
But things are turned around for old Frey! Ho, yes! The town at least feels briefly at peace, and my courier has returned with fresh goods to trade.
Whether pilgrim or traveller, mine is the finest store you'll have the fortune to visit throughout our blighted lands.

First Encounter (if the Wish My Missing Courier is already completed, and Widow is defeated after Hornet has visited Bellhart) Hornet: Greetings, shopkeeper. It seems you've recovered well from that silken affliction.

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 about here, but my store was flush with supplies, so no fear I'd go hungry.
Hornet: Your preparedness served you well then, and it seems your store is still well-stocked.
Oh yes, even my supplier is back to work, so I have plenty of goods to show you!

First Encounter (if 1. the Wish My Missing Courier is not completed, and 2. if Widow is defeated before Hornet has ever visited Bellhart, or if Hornet has talked to Lace in the Choral Chambers) Hornet: Greetings, shopkeeper. I'd ask to trade, but your store seems a little bare.

Ahem! Well, yes. Our little town's seen some dire times, and now my courier's gone and got themself lost.
But don't worry! I've a few small things, still! And if that courier ever makes it safely back, we'll have plenty more treasures to haggle over.


If the Wish My Missing Courier is accepted:
Hornet: He would have been wise to do so. If, on my travels, I happen upon the errant bug, I'll make sure to send him your way.

First Encounter (if 1. the Wish My Missing Courier is not completed, and 2. if Widow is defeated after Hornet has visited Bellhart, and Hornet hasn't talked to Lace in the Choral Chambers) Hornet: Greetings, shopkeeper. It seems you've recovered well from that silken affliction.

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 about here, but my store was flush with supplies, so no fear I'd go hungry.
Hornet: Your preparedness served you well then. Although... your store now seems quite bare.
Ahem. Yes. I'll admit, the wait was longer than I'd anticipated, and a bug has to eat...
I'll have more to offer you once my courier turns up. No doubt he's been avoiding Bellhart since the curse set its sights on us.


If the Wish My Missing Courier is accepted:
Hornet: He would have been wise to do so. If, on my travels, I happen upon the errant bug, I'll make sure to send him your way.

After the Wish My Missing Courier is accepted I saw it! Took my wish off the board, you did! Heading out after my stray courier, then?

Hornet: My own tasks see me travel far, shopkeeper. If, on my journey, I happen upon the errant bug, I'll make sure to send them your way.
Then you'll have my thanks and more! It's a rare bug who'd brave the wilds to aid a fellow.

After the Wish is completed Hornet: Greetings again, shopkeeper. Your shelves are looking better stocked. I see the courier made their way back to you safely.

Oh yes, the cheeky little so-and-so came by and dropped his cargo off at last.
Poor dear was so shaken by his misadventures, I almost didn't have the heart to dock his earnings.
All's well now, though! Take a look at the lovely new goods I have available!

Exhausted dialogue Hello again! Fancy buying something special before your tasks whisk you away?
Speaking while being Cursed Oh my, what a state you're in! You look like you're one breath away from keeling over dead!

Hornet: I will continue to live, madam, but I am indeed afflicted. A parasite has taken root within my shell... Perhaps you have something that could help me? A medicine?
Mmm, not so sure I stock anything like that. You should ask Pavo there. It's his job to give directions and such, so he may have some useful advice.
In the meantime... shopping itself is a type of medicine, isn't it? You should buy something now. Given your condition, this might be your last chance!

After receiving the Bellhome Key from the Wish Bellhart's Glory Well, well! Welcome to you, our newest resident! I hope you're finding your new home to your taste.

Hornet: It is a finely forged bell, madam. I am fortunate to have a safe space to rest, even if my stay here may be short.
However long you're with us, I've been holding onto some fine goods that'll cosy up your home. This stuff ain't for the riff-raff winding through, but a fellow Bellharter deserves the finest!

After purchasing one of these items: Desk, Gleamlights, Personal Spa, Gramophone A fine purchase you've made! Allow us a moment and we'll get it set up in your bellhome.
After purchasing Bell Lacquer The perfect choice! Your bell's about to be looking the finest in town. We'll get the work started straight away.

We've made a good start on the painting, resident! Give us a little more time and your bell'll be shining like new.

Exhausted dialogue after receiving the Bellhome Key Welcome, fellow resident! Can I interest you in something special before you're away again on your travels?
Playing the Needolin Gleaming rest...

Almost there...
Still alive...
For the pilgrims, many...
We serve, safe...
We serve, selfless

Act 3
First conversation Fellow resident, welcome home! The world may quake and crumble, and threaten its end, but while my shell stays safe my shop stays open.
Repeated dialogue Fellow resident! The world quakes and crumbles, but while my shell stays safe, my shop stays open.
