Moss Grotto is the bottommost starting area of Silksong, an overgrown tangle of mossy caves where Hornet wakes after being carried to Pharloom. It eases you into the movement and combat basics and hides an early Mask Shard. The nearby Mosshome and Moss Druid's cave point you toward your first Silk Skill. It is the green, gentle prologue before the kingdom turns hostile.
