Passing of the Age is a side quest that unlocks a trophy achievement and leads to an alternative Hollow Knight Silksong ending.
Let’s see what you must do to complete the achievement and witness the special cutscene!
How to Start and Complete the Passing of the Age Wish in Hollow Knight Silksong
To begin the quest, you will need the Silk Soar ability. Make your way to the Putrified Ducts and head right towards Fleatopia. Continue right until you can jump up. Land on the platform to the right and use Silk Soar to go all the way up one more time. Land on the left platform and keep going until you see a golden tablet you can inspect to begin the wish.

Check out the Tasks menu and notice the quest description in the form of a riddle. Each line hints at a place. You need to visit all locations in order. Look for the blue mushrooms and the golden glow, confirming you are in the correct spot. Play the Needolin at each location and Mister Mushroom will appear. Complete the interaction and move on to the next location. After visiting all seven locations, the wish will be marked as complete.
