The Junk Pit is a hidden area in Hollow Knight’s Royal Waterways. To reach it, use Desolate Dive or Descending Dark on the ground below the Waterways bench, then break through the roof near Flukemarm’s arena. Inside, spend any Simple Key on Godseeker’s golden cocoon, collect the Godtuner, and use the Dream Nail on Godseeker to enter Godhome.

Where is the Junk Pit?

The Junk Pit is a cavernous sub-area of Royal Waterways, close to Flukemarm’s arena. Debris carried by the Waterways currents fills the cavern; it also contains Geo chests, Geo deposits, paintings, and a statue resembling the one associated with Monarch Wings. Fluke Hermit describes the rubbish as Flukemarm’s treasure. Hollow Knight Wiki: Junk Pit

How to get into the Junk Pit

  1. Go to the ground below the Royal Waterways bench.
  2. Break through the ground. Use Desolate Dive or Descending Dark to open the route to the deeper Waterways passage.
  3. Find the breakable roof near Flukemarm’s arena. Strike it to enter the Junk Pit. A player-authored Steam guide also locates the breakable passage in western Waterways above Flukemarm’s arena. Hollow Knight Wiki: Godhome · Steam community guide

How to unlock Godhome from the Junk Pit

  1. Bring a Simple Key. Open the golden cocoon in the Junk Pit with any Simple Key; it is not a special named key. The key is consumed when used. Hollow Knight Wiki: Simple Key
  2. Collect the Godtuner. Freeing Godseeker causes the Godtuner to drop. Hollow Knight Wiki: Godtuner
  3. Use the Dream Nail on Godseeker. This opens the route into Godhome. Hollow Knight Wiki: Godseeker

If you need a key, the wiki lists four obtainable Simple Keys: one sold by Sly for 950 Geo, one in City of Tears, one in Ancient Basin, and one dropped by Pale Lurker in a hidden area behind the Colosseum of Fools. Because keys are single-use, consider other locked uses before spending one on the cocoon. Hollow Knight Wiki: Simple Key

What else can you find in the Junk Pit?

Besides Godseeker’s cocoon, the area has exploration loot, including two Geo deposits and six Geo chests; one of the chests contains Lumaflies. A breakable wall at the top of the cavern connects to City of Tears beneath the Nailsmith’s forge. Hollow Knight Wiki: Junk Pit
