Tools may seem underwhelming at the start of Hornet’s journey in Hollow Knight: Silksong, but they will become useful later on, especially after she upgrades her Tools to deal more damage. Among the many useful Tools, 
Rosary Cannon is not one of them, as it’s more of a for-fun weapon than a practical one. Nevertheless, if you’re looking to have a gatling gun in the game, here’s where to find the Rosary Cannon location in Silksong.
To get a Rosary Cannon in Silksong, players must enter the locked door in High Halls that requires a Simple Key. The door is to the left of the High Halls Ventrica and Bench, meaning it’s easily accessible if players miss it.
Find a way to go up to reach the door, then use the Simple Key to open the locked room. The door is marked with a Rosary Necklace icon, hinting that the room is filled with Rosary bead treasure (and it is).
The Rosary Cannon will still be in Act 3 there if players open the room and miss it. They will also meet Grindle in the treasury room, likely looting whatever leftovers he can find.
Walk inside the High Halls Simple Key door, and you’ll find pretty much nothing. However, there’s actually a secret way up; destroy the breakable ceiling to gain access.
Navigate the tunnels while avoiding the obstacles, and players will soon arrive at an intersection.
Going up will lead to a room filled with Rosary beads in Silksong, perfect for filling Hornet’s pouch, assuming she’s planning not to die for a while.
However, if it’s the Rosary Cannon you’re aiming for, you should take the route heading down. You should soon arrive in a place filled with steam, but on the platform you can stand on, there’s a breakable wall to the left. Destroy it, and you’ll arrive in yet another empty room. Surprisingly, it’s actually not an empty room—if players destroy the breakable object attached to the roof, the Rosary Cannon will fall.
Interact with the glowing item to claim the Rosary Cannon, then head to the bench to equip it. The Rosary Cannon can hold up to 80 Rosary beads as Ammo, after which players must reload it on the bench. This weapon is perfect against enemies that stay still on the ground, such as those roaming around the halls. However, it’s not the best option against flying enemies.
The Rosary beads upkeep cost can also quickly deplete Hornet’s savings, so while the gatling gun is fun to use, it may not be the most practical Tool to equip.
