Don’t step on the sand, Pilgrim.
In the Blasted Steps in Hollow Knight: Silksong, the floor is not lava, but it sure is ravenous desert worms that will eat you in a heartbeat. If you are struggling to find your way around this dangerous area, then this is where to find Shakra and get the Blasted Steps map.

Where to find the Blasted Steps map in Hollow Knight: Silksong
To get the Blasted Steps map, you don’t need to venture too far into the Blasted Steps, but there are a couple of awkward sections, and one leap of faith is involved. The map above will give you a little context. The bench icon is roughly where you are likely to be starting, assuming that you came in from Shellwood, and the Hornet icon is where you need to go, but you will find a full video of the route you need to take below.

From the bench, run left and make the jumps on the small platforms, then across and use your wall cling ability to jump up the first wall. Be careful when you jump, as heavy gusts of wind will slow you down and can cost you a successful jump. If you fall into the sand, the waiting worms will happily feast on you.
Keep jumping across and going left until you reach a tunnel leading upward with some worms at the bottm. You have to wall climb up, get to the top, then start moving right. You will come to a part with no apparent platform to jump to, and a long chain hanging down.
Wait for a big gust of wind, then jump and float, and it will carry you across to a platform quite far away. After that, just keep heading right, making any jumps that come your way, and eventually you will find Shakra and can buy the Blasted Steps map for 70 Rosaries.
