You cannot find Bretta in the Howling Cliffs. You rescue her in the Fungal Wastes, near Mantis Village. The Howling Cliffs clue refers to where she later leaves Dirtmouth—not to a place where you can meet her.
Where to rescue Bretta
Look in the Fungal Wastes, near the southeast part of Mantis Village. Pass the Dashmaster statue, then take the hidden opening to its west. A short platforming section beyond it leads to Bretta. Hollow Knight Wiki’s Bretta entry describes this rescue location and route.
Why Howling Cliffs is associated with Bretta
After you rescue her, Bretta moves to Dirtmouth, where her house becomes accessible. Later, she leaves Dirtmouth and heads over the Howling Cliffs; the character reference says she is not seen again. The clue describes her departure, not a visitable destination. The Bretta reference documents her story, and the Howling Cliffs reference identifies the area in Hallownest’s northwest.
