How to start Berry Picking in Silksong

To start Berry Picking in Silksong you need to find the Moss Druid in the upper-right corner of Moss Home and you need to unlock the Silkspear ability. We recommend reading our guide on this too as it's part of how you find the Druid.

To find the Druid, head right from the point you unlocked the Silkspear ability then drop down to return to the point where silk blocks your path. Use your Silkspear ability to slice through the silk, then keep heading to the right by hopping over the gap and into the next area.

You should hear laughing the moment you enter this area and a Bench will be right in front of you. Sit here to save and recover, then keep heading right to find the Druid. Speak to them and select 'Yes' when you get the option to promise their wish. This starts the Berry Picking side quest.

Silksong Berry Picking Mossberry locations

To complete Berry Picking you need to find three Mossberry and take them back to the Druid. Thankfully, none are too far away. Here's where to find all three Mossberry for Berry Picking (yes we know there are four here, you might as well grab them all as they're close to each other):

Moss Grotto Mossberry location one

The first Mossberry can be found in the beginning area of Silksong, Moss Grotto, and you may have already collected it. If you haven't then head back to the beginning of Moss Grotto and keep following the path to reach the Ribcage.

Use the floating platforms above here to make your way upwards, this time aiming to head to the right onto the platform with the Moss Fly on it. Watch out for their attack, they'll fly over you and then charge at the ground in a downwards attack.

From here keep heading right, you'll come across another Moss Fly and Moss Bug. At this point (after defeating both) head up the small platform to the right.

Climb this platform and then keep heading to the right, encountering another Moss Fly, until you come to a ledge with the Mossberry hanging above it.

Moss Grotto Mossberry location two

The second Mossberry is a bit further along in Moss Grotto. To find it, keep pressing forward until you come to a darker area.

Continue to the right until you come to a set of platforms leading upwards. Climb up these, and you'll get to an enemy that rolls itself around the next platform you need. We found the easiest way to defeat them is to stand on the platform slightly below it and wait for them to uncurl at the top of their platform, then attack them. Do this a few times and they'll soon perish.

Continue climbing upwards and head left here, onto another solid platform. Defeat the bug here and continue heading upwards to find a larger platform with a Moss Fly on it. Pan the camera up and you'll find another Mossberry. Use your diagonal attack here to jump off the flying enemy to reach them.

Moss Home Mossberry location one

The first option for the third Mossberry can also be found in Mosshome. Exit the Druid and head back to Shakra in The Marrows. Then, from Shakra, head upwards and to the left until you come to a lever you needed to pull to open the floor.

Drop down the opening here and then head left, dropping down the first opening until you come to an elevator. Activate the elevator by stepping on it, it'll be handy later if you fall!

From the elevator, follow the path along to the right until you come to a small floating platform over a large chasm. Wait here and look down, eventually another flying enemy holding a glowing Mossberry will appear.

The easiest way to get this Mossberry is to use Hornet's diagonal attack to attack them from above when they're in range (also called Pogoing). Don't worry if you miss them and fall though, you won't die - just get back to the Elevator to the left and ride it back up.

If you're struggling with this one, then you can always go for the one below!

Moss Home Mossberry location two

The second option for the third Mossberry can be found quite close to the Druid. We recommend grabbing this even if you've got enough for the side quest - you never know when you'll need more. Exit the Druid's area and then drop down the gap that's in front of you. Keep dropping down here, then head to the right to find a secret wall. Smash this and head through.

In here, the room will be quite dark, but keep walking forwards and you'll soon find a flying enemy making the room glow. They're holding a Mossberry, how dare they! Anyway, you can make them drop the Berry by eliminating them. We found it easiest to stand on the floating platform in the middle of the room and attack them from here.

Whatever option you take to get three Mossberry, head back to the Druid once you've collected three to complete this side quest and get your reward.
