How to Get the Hunter’s Journal and Complete Bugs of Pharloom in Silksong

It’s 2026, and after hundreds of hours weaving through Pharloom’s silk-spun depths, I can still say that tracking down every creature for the Hunter’s Journal remains one of the most rewarding challenges in Hollow Knight: Silksong. My own journey started in the misty expanse of Greymoor, and the moment I stumbled upon a timid scholar named Nuu, I knew the true cataloguing nightmare—and delight—was about to begin. In this guide, I’ll walk you through exactly how to kick off the “Bugs of Pharloom” quest, fill every page of the journal, and earn one of the rarest trophies in the game.

Finding Nuu and Starting the Quest

After breaking through the barrier from Far Fields and venturing west into Greymoor, you’ll eventually reach a broken-down inn called the Halfway Home. It’s a quiet refuge perched high above the fungal groves, and if you listen closely, you’ll hear a faint scratching of quill on parchment. Climb to the upper level and you’ll meet Nuu—a moth-like NPC huddled over a dusty tome. She’s desperate to document the kingdom’s wildlife, and she’ll hand you the Hunter’s Journal with trembling hands.

Speak to her and accept the Bugs of Pharloom wish. This is the quest that officially begins your recording work. Nuu doesn’t ask for much—just that you find and document 100 different creatures anywhere across the kingdom. No specific species, no hidden areas. Every enemy you slay and every critter you encounter will count, as long as it’s new. I remember my excitement when the journal first appeared in my inventory. It’s an old, leather-bound book that slowly fills with sketches and notes as you defeat foes, making every encounter feel like a tiny discovery.
