Where to find all Flintbeetles in Hollow Knight Silksong

Finding and defeating the three Flintbeetles is part of the Volatile Flintbeetles Wish from Bone Bottom, and you'll find them all in The Marrow just east of the starting zone. More likely as not, you'll have explored the place thoroughly by this point, so reaching the Flintbeetles' locations is a simple platforming matter.

You can track Flintbeetles via a trail which appears from collections of their burning dung, each relatively close to their actual location. These tracks don't disappear if you die on the way to or while fighting the Flintbeetles, giving you as much time as you need to complete the Wish. Once defeated, the Flintbeeltes do disappear, as their existence is tied to the Wish, and they don't appear again once it's done.

First Flintbeetle location

The first Flintbeetle is very close to the bone door that once blocked yours and Sherma's way. Go past where the door was, then take the first path up that you encounter, then go left. At the intersection that would lead toward Mosshome, jump onto the ledge to your right.

You'll see the Flintbeetle resting in the rocky ceiling. Hit it to make it drop down, then defeat it and claim the Flintgem it holds. You'll do the same for the other two Flintbeetles.

Second Flintbeetle location

The second Flintbeetle you should seek out is at the easternmost portion of The Marrow, in the large cavern that eventually leads further east to Bellhart's lower reaches and the Hunter's March.

Navigate your way east along the base of The Marrow, but before you reach the Deep Docks. In the final chamber, head up toward the passage to lower Bellhart and rest at the nearby bench. Continue up and take the first left path you encounter. You'll find the Beetle in the room with the pogo-able plants that litter the Hunter's March.

Third Flintbeetle location

To reach the third and final Flintbeetle, continue west from the second one, heading away from the entrance to the Hunter's March. When you reach a large chamber with the lever that opens the shortcut south, make your way up the platforms toward the higher reaches of the room.

You'll need to make a tricky jump around the end of a ledge to get to the room above the larger chamber, and then you'll need to complete a brief platforming challenge across several collapsing floors to reach the room's highest point.

You're on the right track if you encounter a series of flying enemies that charge you. The Flintbeetle itself is on a longer platform near the ceiling at the end of the platforming section. Once you've defeated the Flintbeetles and collected their Flintgems, return to Bone Bottom to turn in the wish and claim your reward.
