Deep down in the Deep Docks, you can find the Forge Daughter, and this character has quite a few items for sale that will help you navigate the area and thwart the local foes.

First up, you can find the Forge Daughter at the location marked on the image below. They are located to the right of the central bench in the area, and after you drop down from the main route, move to the right. If you find a room with lava flowing in the background, head up and hit the switches to emerge in the right room.

Once you find the Forge Daughter, they have several helpful things for sale:

ItemDescriptionRosarie CostCraftmetal Cost
Sting ShardA vicious stabbing trap? We can build it. Just know, it disturbs us, these devious implements you conceive to kill. 1401
Magma BellForged iron bell, crafted to ward against the intense heat of the Deep Docks. Reduces the damage taken from flame and magma.1101
Crafting KitCrafting by claw alone produces inferior results. With this kit, you can craft finer, sharper, and deadlier tools… if that is your wish. 180N/A
Sharp BundleTo maintain one’s tools is a constant task. These shards should be kept close when you travel, so you can repair and replenish as the need arises.50N/A

When it comes to what you should spend your hard-earned cash on, only you can decide, but for us, the Sting Shard is a fantastic addition to Hornet’s arsenal. Otherwise, using the magma bell to avoid some environmental damage has also been fantastic. Of course, if you have enough rosaries, then you can do as you please.

Please note, this is all we know about the Forge Daughter so far. Like many things in the original Hollow Knight, we expect the character’s location to change as they could pop up elsewhere. Plus, the shop line-up could change once everything is out of stock. We’ll update this guide as and when we get any new information.
