Snitch Pick in Hollow Knight: Silksong: What It Does and Where to Get It

Snitch Pick is intended to yield Rosaries and Shell Shards and deal damage. Here is what the patch notes confirm—and what they do not.

Yes—Snitch Pick is intended to give you Rosaries and Shell Shards, as well as deal damage. Team Cherry’s patch notes confirm both behaviors, but do not specify exact amounts or a guaranteed farming rate. The Hollow Knight Wiki lists it as a Blue Tool sold by Grindle in Blasted Steps for 740 Rosaries; treat that price and location as guide information and check the current game for confirmation.

What does Snitch Pick do?

Snitch Pick is a Blue Tool in Hollow Knight: Silksong. Team Cherry’s Patch 1 notes say it “Fixed Snitch Pick not giving rosaries and shell shards as intended.” That confirms the tool is meant to yield those resources, though the note does not say how many, how often, or whether the result depends on the enemy.

Damage is part of its behavior too. Patch 5 says Team Cherry “Fixed Snitch Pick not doing its 3rd hit of damage when in a memory.” The note confirms a third hit in that situation, but does not give its damage value.

Where can you get Snitch Pick?

The community-maintained Hollow Knight Wiki’s Snitch Pick entry lists Grindle in Blasted Steps as the seller and gives the price as 740 Rosaries. These acquisition details are not confirmed by the developer patch notes, and the reference does not state a publication date, so check the current shop before relying on the exact cost.

Is Snitch Pick worth using to farm currency?

It is intended to produce Rosaries and Shell Shards, so it is relevant to resource gathering. The available official notes do not establish a net currency gain, a per-enemy yield, or whether using it is more efficient than another approach. They also do not specify a Silk return or explain whether results differ between regular enemies, bosses, or memory encounters.

For a practical check in your own game, compare the resources you have before and after using the tool and defeating the same type of target, while keeping other changes in your inventory separate. Treat a result from one enemy or encounter as a local observation, not a universal drop rate.

Why do players say it does nothing?

Player discussions include questions about whether Snitch Pick works and whether it gives money. That uncertainty is understandable: the official patch history records bugs involving its resource drops and its third damage hit in a memory. Those fixes support the intended behavior, but they do not establish every detail of how the tool currently performs in every encounter.

If it appears ineffective, first check whether you are seeing a resource drop or inventory change rather than expecting an immediate currency bonus. For exact current behavior, especially in a particular enemy or memory encounter, the patch notes alone are not enough to promise a specific result.
