How to Access Godmaster DLC in Hollow Knight

Before we can do anything with this new DLC, we first need to access it. To gain access to Godmaster, make your way to the Colosseum of Fools. Inside the Coliseum make your way through the combatant area (the lower portion) and head up the the hole by the hot springs. In this area you will find a breakable wall to the right. Break it and go inside. Jump off the bridge and fall into the water. Head to the right until you see an npc. The npc will run away from you. Follow it.

Note: Once you chase the npc into the next room, a door will lock behind you, trapping you in. In this area you will need to chase the npc around while dealing damage to it. Once enough damage is dealt, the npc drops a Simple Key.Once you have the Simple Key, head back the way you came and make your way to the Royal Waterways.
Royal Waterways

Head to the Royale Waterways and make your way to the room before Flukemarm. Head to the far left corner (see picture) and you will find a Belfly near a crack in the ceiling. Destroy the crack to reveal an opening. Jump up into the opening to reach a new room. Make your way through the room (it’s a bit of a maze, but either the far left or middle openings leading up will get you to the exit). Drop down the long drop in the next room then jump off the left edge into the water. Swim to the left and you will reach Junk Pit.
Junk Pit

After you swim left through the water, you will reach a new area called Junk Pit. In this area you will find a couple of old chests and a large locked cocoon. Use the Simple Key we grabbed from the Colosseum to open the cocoon. Once opened you will receive the Godtuner. Use the dream nail on the corpse to head to Godhome.

Note: You need to have one Simple Key on you to open the cocoon. Without the Simple Key you can’t go to the Godhome.
Junk Pit NPC Fluke Hermit & Shortcut to City of Tears

Before you enter Godhome, there is an NPC in the Junk Pit we can speak with to gain a bit of lore insight. This NPC is located on a ledge above the area you dropped down into the water from Royal Waterways to reach Junk Pit. To get to this NPC head all the way to the end of Junk Pit (far left) and you will reach a wall. Jump up the wall and then use the platforms to head to the right. When you reach the far right side, you will meet Fluke Hermit on the ledge outside.
