Red Memory is an area in Hollow Knight: Silksong visited as part of the Act 3 plotline. In it, Hornet journeys through her own memories to find the Everbloom.

Events

Red Memory, as an area, consists of multiple platforming sections. During the entire time there, Hornet uses attacks from the Hunter Crest, regardless of which crest is equipped in the overworld.

The first memory takes place in the Weavers' Den when Hornet is a child. She is shown practicing silk powers surrounded by multiple Weavers, who urge her to prove herself "more Weaver than Wyrm".

The second memory takes place in Beast's Den. In it Herrah the Beast speaks to her daughter, still a child at the time, telling her to ignore Weavers "whispers"; likely for plotting to use Hornet for their own goals, she then tells Hornet to look beyond these desires of others who wish to shape Hornet's future, and only then she may find "another hope".

The third memory takes place in The Hive. Hive Queen Vespa is training Hornet, and tells her that she needs to get stronger, because people will come searching for her in fear of her power or in a attempt to claim it.

The final memory takes place in the White Palace. Hornet is standing before the White Lady, who expresses pity that Hornet will see them as harsh for the ways they attempt to achieve their wish. Hornet answers that she understands the wish of the Queens that raised her, the wish that she may be strong enough to carve her own fate. The White Lady acknowledges Hornet's growth with the strength that they hoped, and gives her the Everbloom so she can break herself free from her fate.

How to Access

After acquiring 3 out of the 4 possible hearts (Encrusted Heart, Hunter's Heart, Pollen Heart, or Conjoined Heart) for the SEEK: The Old Hearts objective, Hornet can visit the Snail Shamans in the Ruined Chapel and hand the hearts to them. Upon doing so the Snail Shamans will use the three hearts on Hornet to put her into the Red Memory.

The Red Memory becomes inaccessible after the final memory takes place and Hornet recieves the Everbloom.

Dialogue

Red Memory Weavers ...Show us your craft, child... ...Show it splendid, as only we can teach... ...Prove yourself more Weaver than Wyrm... Herrah ...Ignore them, daughter... their whispers... ...Greater, grander... Weaver, guardian, queen... Those are their desires... not your own. Certainly not mine... ...Only if you resist them, you might see it, another hope... beyond... ...But to recall these words, in time so far... Will you even remember me, child? Could you?... ...A mother... before the mask... before I lay forever in duty... Vespa ...Good... Better... ...Yet still you will need to be faster... ...In time, they will come for you... Those who fear your nature, and those seeking to claim it... ...To survive our world, you must learn to sting... swift and sudden... White Lady ...Alas... spider's child... ...For our ways you will think us harsh... You will think us uncaring, unrepentant... ...And so we must seem, for such is the cost of our wish... You are wrong, Lady... I knew the wish, and the price to achieve it. And now, across these many ages, I have only come to know it better... Strength... in mind, in care, in claw. Strength enough that I may live to see a world better than our own, or to craft a world as I desire. That was the wish, of my mother, of my mentor, and of you... ...Indeed, spider... So much pain you must have passed to speak our hope so simply... For her you become... who knows clear our desire, and has seen full the darkness beneath our house, I would show you the gift... Witness, the first light. The only means we possess to resist that void with which our family is forever linked. Reach forth, child grown strong. Wrest it from this remembrance. Burn yourself free from our sad fate... Playing the Needolin anywhere in the Red Memory ...Child born pale... ...Watch... Wait... Pray... ...Child born bound... ...Hunt... Seek... Slay... ...Warrior... Princess... ...Warrior... Queen...
