How to beat Unravelled in Silksong

Kelsey Raynor — Thu, 09 Oct 2025 16:01:09 +0000

The Unravelled boss in Silksong is a tough fight found hidden away deep in Whiteward, and is only accessible once you have your hands on both the Clawline ability and the Surgeon's Key. He's entirely optional and easy to miss, but you'll want to go out of your way to find and beat him if you wish to collect all of Silksong's Silk Hearts.

Silksong Wailing Mother location, and how to beat

Kelsey Raynor — Thu, 09 Oct 2025 13:07:38 +0000

The Wailing Mother Grand Hunt Wish in Silksong is one that'll appear on Songclave's Wish Board after you've spent some time wrapping up all the side quests you have collected so far. You'll also need to have spent some of your hard-earned Silksong resources on restoring Pharloom's towns for the townsfolk to deem you fit for the task.

Silksong Tool Pouch locations

Kelsey Raynor — Wed, 08 Oct 2025 15:52:12 +0000

Tool Pouches in Silksong might not seem all that important initially as you explore Pharloom, but they can make a huge difference as you progress through the game. Silksong's Tool Pouches increase the carry capacity of your offensive Tools, allowing you to take even more Sting Shards, Longpins, or Flintslate charges into troubling fights with you.

Silksong Crafting Kit locations

Kelsey Raynor — Wed, 08 Oct 2025 15:52:04 +0000

Crafting Kits in Silksong are easily overlooked, but they're incredibly important if you wish to make the most of your offensive Tools or are striving for 100% completion of the game. Fortunately for you, there's only four of them to locate in Silksong's Pharloom, but it's going to set you back a lot of Rosaries.

Silksong Craftmetal locations

Kelsey Raynor — Wed, 08 Oct 2025 15:09:19 +0000

Craftmetal, when you first find it in Silksong, might not seem all that useful or important but don't be fooled. These shiny pieces of metal found in hidden locations across Silksong's Pharloom are vital for getting your hands on some of the best Tools in the game.

Silksong Spool Fragment locations

Kelsey Raynor — Wed, 08 Oct 2025 11:38:24 +0000

Spool Fragments in Silksong might not seem as important as Mask Shards and Needle upgrades, but if you're using your Silk Skills plenty, then they're worth seeking out. Every two Spool Fragments you collect throughout Silksong will give you an additional Spool of Silk, and before you know it, you'll have enough Silk to fire off multiple Thread Storms or Silkspears in quick succession.

How to get double jump in Silksong

Kelsey Raynor — Tue, 07 Oct 2025 15:56:15 +0000

The Faydown Cloak in Silksong is an upgrade to Hornet's cloak that allows her to double jump, and honestly, it's obscene how much this particular Silk Skill makes platforming around Pharloom easier. That said, getting your hands on the ability to double jump in Silksong is no easy feat.

"It was really hard to publish on Xbox. It was our job to make it easier" - inside Xbox's increasingly vital indie publishing operation

Alex Donaldson — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 13:09:20 +0000

My first major memory of Indie Games on Xbox platforms is a pleasant one, and it's precisely the sort of memory I feel most appropriate for the medium. This was a tiny self-published affair - nary a publisher in sight, what I assume was a solo developer, and an extremely limited scope. I'm not talking about Hollow Knight, or Balatro, or Braid, or Limbo or what have you. I'm talking about Curling 2010.

Silksong The Slab walkthrough

Kelsey Raynor — Fri, 19 Sep 2025 11:53:29 +0000

The Slab is a confusing yet interesting area in Hollow Knight: Silksong, given that this maze-like section of the map is packed to the brim with locked doors and breakable walls. Silksong’s The Slab is also home to two hidden bosses, depending on how much progress you’ve made, that you’ll eventually want to seek out.

Silksong Underworks walkthrough

Kelsey Raynor — Thu, 18 Sep 2025 16:35:47 +0000

After exploring the eerie area of Whiteward in Hollow Knight: Silksong, you’ll have wound up in the Underworks. Silksong’s Underworks region is a maze of traps and other threats you’ll want to carefully avoid while looting this area of all key items, including one of our final movement abilities, the Clawline Skill.

Hollow Knight: Silksong devs admit it has "moments of steep difficulty" but also a "higher level of freedom" to avoid getting stonewalled

Ed Nightingale — Thu, 18 Sep 2025 12:40:57 +0000

Team Cherry's long-awaited Hollow Knight follow-up Silksong has spawned lengthy discourse around difficulty in games, and now the developers have addressed the topic too.

Silksong Whiteward walkthrough

Kelsey Raynor — Thu, 18 Sep 2025 10:25:43 +0000

After defeating the Cogwork Dancers in Hollow Knight: Silksong, multiple regions – including Whiteward – become available for you to explore. It might be tempting to steam ahead into the Cogwork Core and beyond, but there’s a very important ability waiting for you just past Silksong’s Whiteward that you should grab before doing anything else.

How to beat Cogwork Dancers in Silksong

Kelsey Raynor — Wed, 17 Sep 2025 16:00:16 +0000

Choral Chambers continues to be the bit of welcome respite we all need with the Cogwork Dancers boss fight in Hollow Knight: Silksong. Long gone are the horrible Driznit enemies of Blasted Steps and Murkroaches of Sinner’s Road, as we’re back to fighting Pilgrims and eventually, dancing bugs, when faced with Silksong’s Cogwork Dancers.

Silksong Choral Chambers walkthrough

Kelsey Raynor — Wed, 17 Sep 2025 14:35:04 +0000

Choral Chambers is a huge and confusing place in Hollow Knight: Silksong but it’s nothing you’re not used to by now. If anything, Silksong’s Choral Chambers – despite its Pilgrim-like enemies and other threats – is a brief bit of respite compared to prior areas such as Blasted Steps and Sinner’s Road.

How to beat Phantom in Silksong

Kelsey Raynor — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 16:25:42 +0000

Phantom is an optional boss hidden away in Hollow Knight: Silksong’s Exhaust Organ, and beating them is one of two ways in which you can gain access to Act 2. While tucked away in a perilous area, Silksong’s Phantom is actually much easier that The Last Judge of Blasted Steps and provides a pretty fun battle, with the enemy having a moveset similar to Hornet’s.

Silksong Exhaust Organ walkthrough

Kelsey Raynor — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 16:25:35 +0000

After successfully making your way through the puzzling area that is The Mist in Hollow Knight: Silksong, you’ll find yourself in the Exhaust Organ section of Bilewater. Silksong’s Exhaust Organ is fortunately a small section of the map but there are a few things you need to do here to enter Act 2 of the game.

Silksong The Mist walkthrough

Kelsey Raynor — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 12:26:17 +0000

The Mist is a puzzling area in Hollow Knight: Silksong, with many of its exits spitting you back out at the beginning of the area if you don’t know its secrets. Silksong’s The Mist is an entirely optional area you can wind up in after exploring Sinner’s Road, and if you figure this place out, you’ll find yourself on an alternate route into Act 2.

Hollow Knight: Silksong's second patch detailed, but don't expect any balance tweaks

Ed Nightingale — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 11:49:11 +0000

Team Cherry has detailed what's planned for Hollow Knight: Silksong's second patch, but don't expect any balance changes as with the first.

Silksong Sinner’s Road walkthrough

Kelsey Raynor — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 11:30:09 +0000

Sinner’s Road is one of two routes into Act 2 of Hollow Knight: Silksong. As a result of you approaching the end of Act 1 in Silksong, you can expect this area – much like Blasted Steps – to be very horrible.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is reportedly already about a third of the way to the original's total sales, with Steam leading the charge

Ed Nightingale — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 10:50:42 +0000

Hollow Knight: Silksong has sold 3.2m copies on Steam alone since its release, according to analyst estimations.

Silksong Blasted Steps walkthrough

Kelsey Raynor — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 16:00:49 +0000

Blasted Steps in Hollow Knight: Silksong is one of the game’s less-than-pleasant areas, full of awful enemies, traps, and a very tough boss that we have quite the runback for. That said, Silksong’s Blasted Steps is also home to some useful items and a new ability that you’ll want to grab sooner or later.

Silksong Bellhart walkthrough

Kelsey Raynor — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 12:36:06 +0000

The small region of Bellhart in Hollow Knight: Silksong is quite the shock when you first walk in. Bellhart’s inhabitants in Silksong are strung up and bound by thread, unable to talk or interact with each other due to some terrible curse that has afflicted them.

As Silksong drags them into the spotlight again, have boss runbacks had their day?

Matt Wales — Sun, 14 Sep 2025 10:58:00 +0000

Hello and welcome to the first in an almost certainly occasional series of features we're tentatively calling The Big Question, in which, having failed to reach a decisive position on something we've enjoyed chattering about in the office this week, we present it to you, the EG community, for further interrogation.

What we've been playing - "enjoy the rest of your evening going around in circles and dying lots"

Robert Purchese — Sat, 13 Sep 2025 07:00:00 +0000

Hello and welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we've been playing. This week, we've been banging our heads on Hollow Knight Silksong and trying to decide, for the most part, whether we love it or not. One moment we do, one moment we don't. But that's not all we've been playing. Tom's been struggling with technology again, Bertie's fallen down another rabbit hole, and Dom dug out the old Final Fantasy Tactics ahead of the remastered one's late September arrival.

Silksong Shellwood walkthrough

Kelsey Raynor — Fri, 12 Sep 2025 16:27:41 +0000

Shellwood is a large region in Hollow Knight: Silksong that you’ll reach after paying a fleeting visit to Bellhart. Reaching Shellwood in Silksong means that you’re one step closer to The Citadel, but you’re still a long way from being done with Pharloom.

How to beat the Craw Lake gauntlet in Silksong

Marie Pritchard — Fri, 12 Sep 2025 16:23:39 +0000

The Silksong Craw Lake gauntlet is rather brutal in Greymoor, and you'll be completely forgiven for feeling that way - it's tricky.

Silksong Greymoor walkthrough

Marie Pritchard — Fri, 12 Sep 2025 16:23:38 +0000

Greymoor in Silksong is a damp, dark, and very bleak section of the map. There are plenty of enemies waiting to dampen your spirits too.

How to upgrade Hunter Crest in Silksong

Kelsey Raynor — Fri, 12 Sep 2025 11:31:00 +0000

Did you know that you can upgrade the Hunter Crest in Hollow Knight: Silksong? The Hunter Crest is what Hornet first starts out with in Silksong, meaning you’ll no doubt swap it out for other Crests you find in the meantime, but you can eventually upgrade this default Crest if you do some exploring.

All Silksong Crest locations

Kelsey Raynor — Fri, 12 Sep 2025 11:06:35 +0000

Finding and equipping new Crests in Hollow Knight: Silksong is something you should definitely spend some time doing. Silksong’s Crests can change Hornet’s moveset dramatically and you might find something that caters to your playstyle a lot more than her starting Hunter Crest.

Silksong Shakra locations

Marie Pritchard — Fri, 12 Sep 2025 09:27:54 +0000

Finding the Shakra locations in Silksong will help you round out your in-game map to help Hornet navigate each area she's in. Most area maps can be bought from Shakra, but some will need to be found or bought with Rosaries.

How to beat Great Conchflies in Silksong

Kelsey Raynor — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 15:48:26 +0000

The Great Conchflies appear to be an optional boss in Hollow Knight: Silksong, but you should definitely go about beating them either way if you wish to explore the entirety of Pharloom. Additionally, Silksong’s Great Conchflies aren’t the hardest enemy you’ll be facing in Blasted Steps. They’re tough, but once you’ve dispatched a few Driznit enemies, you’ll know what to expect from this duo.

How to beat The Last Judge in Silksong

Kelsey Raynor — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 14:45:32 +0000

The Last Judge is the final main boss of Act 1 in Hollow Knight: Silksong and as a result, he is exceptionally tough. Forget about the likes of Widow and Savage Beastfly, because Silksong’s Last Judge makes all prior bosses look like a cakewalk in comparison.

Silksong Needle upgrade locations

Kelsey Raynor — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 14:45:26 +0000

Needle upgrades are very important in Hollow Knight: Silksong. After all, how are you going to take down Silksong’s toughest bosses without getting a few Needle upgrades here and there? Fortunately, your first upgrade is free but you’ve got your work cut out for you after that.

Hollow Knight: Silksong review

Christian Donlan — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 13:00:00 +0000

Metroidvanias are the games where I'm allowed to get stuck in several places at once. Head upwards and there's a boss that I can't beat. Try going down the stairs instead and there's an environment that kills me just for stepping into it. Left and right are dead ends that I don't have the tools to navigate yet. Stuck on all four points of the compass! That's a Metroidvania.

Silksong Mask Shard locations

Kelsey Raynor — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 10:30:17 +0000

Mask Shards in Hollow Knight: Silksong are not to be neglected. Every four Mask Shards you collect in Silksong will give Hornet another Mask – another pip of health – to use while exploring and battling bugs, and this can make all the difference during Silksong’s toughest fights.

Silksong Needolin Doors locations

Marie Pritchard — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 08:49:33 +0000

Needolin Doors in Silksong are dotted around Pharloom and are just waiting for Hornet to stumble across them on her journey upwards.

All Hollow Knight Silksong bosses listed

Lottie Lynn — Wed, 10 Sep 2025 15:50:57 +0000

Bosses are everywhere in Hollow Knight: Silksong! While some are optional, a good number of them are mandatory if you want to complete the game. (Though that doesn't mean you can't avoid a few…)

How to get Needolin in Silksong

Kelsey Raynor — Wed, 10 Sep 2025 14:40:49 +0000

The Needolin is more than just a musical instrument in Hollow Knight: Silksong. This nimble tool is used to unlock various doors and secret passages across Silksong’s Pharloom, so you’ll want to try and get your hands on the Needolin sooner or later.

How to beat Widow in Silksong

Kelsey Raynor — Wed, 10 Sep 2025 14:40:41 +0000

After getting your hands on the ability to wall jump in Hollow Knight: Silksong, you’ll be able to challenge a formidable opponent. Silksong’s Widow boss found in Bellhart is no joke; she’s speedy, has projectiles galore, and is very difficult.

How to unlock Act 3 in Silksong

Marie Pritchard — Wed, 10 Sep 2025 11:52:25 +0000

Reaching Act 3 in Silksong will take a lot of patience and some grinding, but it can be worth it as it unlocks an entirely new section to explore.

How to get wall jump in Silksong

Kelsey Raynor — Wed, 10 Sep 2025 11:24:38 +0000

The Cling Grip Skill in Hollow Knight: Silksong gives Hornet the ability to wall jump and cling to walls, meaning she can traverse some previously unexplored areas and essentially climb vertical walls with ease. Found in Silksong’s Shellwood region, Cling Grip is a Skill you want to try and get your hands on as soon as possible.

How to beat Sister Splinter in Silksong

Kelsey Raynor — Wed, 10 Sep 2025 11:16:51 +0000

Sister Splinter is found hiding away in Hollow Knight: Silksong’s region of Shellwood, blocking your path to a very important Skill that’ll help you with future traversal and the discovery of all kinds of secret areas. Fortunately, Silksong’s Sister Splinter is not the hardest boss you’ve faced yet.

While we're struggling with Hollow Knight: Silksong, speedrunners are beating it in under 90 minutes

Silksong Mementos locations

Marie Pritchard — Wed, 10 Sep 2025 09:59:17 +0000

Mementos in Silksong are, essentially, decorative items you can add to your Bellhome (once you've been given it of course).

Silksong Silk Heart locations

Marie Pritchard — Wed, 10 Sep 2025 09:27:02 +0000

Silk Hearts in Silksong are crucial items to collect on your adventure as they'll allow you to make better use of the Silk you collect by allowing you to regenerate it faster.

Silksong Deep Docks walkthrough

Lottie Lynn — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 16:15:26 +0000

Deep Docks is the third major location you'll visit in Hollow Knight: Silksong. Rather than water (like the name does suggest), you'll have to help Hornet navigate lava fields. Falling in will get her a little bit toasty…

Silksong Lace (Deep Docks) boss strategy

Lottie Lynn — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 16:15:21 +0000

Lace makes her first boss battle appearance in The Deep Docks of Hollow Knight: Silksong.

Silksong Pollip Heart locations

Marie Pritchard — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 15:53:55 +0000

Silksong Lost Flea locations

Marie Pritchard — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 15:10:29 +0000

Finding The Lost Flea locations in Silksong will help you complete one of the many side quests you can pick up on your adventure through Pharloom.

How to beat Moorwing in Silksong

Kelsey Raynor — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 12:29:50 +0000

Hollow Knight: Silksong has many bosses and they’re all a pleasure to fight, except where Moorwing is concerned. Okay, perhaps Silksong’s Moorwing fight isn’t that bad, but fighting a disc-slinging bird who dives at you isn’t the most fun I’ve had on Hornet’s adventure so far. That’s for sure.

How to get Reaper Crest in Silksong

Kelsey Raynor — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 12:09:59 +0000

The Reaper Crest in Hollow Knight: Silksong is one of multiple Crest items that can alter Hornet’s moveset. Silksong’s Reaper Crest in particular sees her able to attack with heavy slashes that gather additional Silk from enemies, which is great for using other abilities such as Silkspear or Thread Storm, or Binding.

Curtains in the 90s, Pogs, and the trend fallacy - yes, this is a stealth Hollow Knight: Silksong article, sorry

Tom Orry — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 12:00:00 +0000

When I was at school, which is a disconcertingly long time ago, there was a period during which all the boys seemed to have a near-identical curtains haircut. I hated it. It was so common that it might as well have been part of the school dress code, and yet, I resisted. I've always been pretty good at doing my own thing, not falling into the trap of peer pressure and what I've just this second coined as "The trend fallacy". Just because everyone is doing something, doesn't mean it's right for you.

How to get the bestiary in Silksong

Kelsey Raynor — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 10:53:14 +0000

Hollow Knight: Silksong is home to a bestiary for those who carefully keep an eye out for it. Also known as the Hunter’s Journal, this Silksong tool helps you identify what enemies you’re coming up against and what the lore behind them is, and it’s given to you by an adorable NPC.

Silksong Wishes locations

Marie Pritchard — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 09:46:06 +0000

Wishes in Silksong are essentially side quests you can do on your adventure through Pharloom, but we highly recommend taking the time to do them.

Hollow Knight: Silksong developers are trolling players with a seemingly safe haven

Victoria Phillips Kennedy — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 08:53:33 +0000

While Hollow Knight: Silksong's cute character designs may suggest something light and effortless, do not be fooled. Silksong is not an easy game to play. In fact, it is darn difficult, requiring plenty of precision, be it platforming of fighting.

Dom Peppiatt — Fri, 05 Sep 2025 13:00:00 +0000

Silksong is real. It's finally here. I've played about seven hours of it already.
