Hollow Knight: Silksong Guides
Guide Hollow Knight: Silksong: Walkthrough & All Collectibles
Your silky smooth Silksong resource
We're finally ready to ascend — Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now, and Pharloom is ready and waiting to be explored. Just like Hollow Knight, Team Cherry has stuffed its second game with tons of challenges, hidden collectibles, and a whole bunch of news systems for you to dig into. We absolutely loved the...
Guide Hollow Knight: Silksong: All Tools - List & Locations
Get crafty
Tools are a new part of Hornet's kit in Silksong. These come in many different forms, from additional weapons to use against foes to defensive effects to help Hornet when she's in a pinch. You can craft more tools at benches, increase the number of tools you can carry, and also upgrade Crests to unlock additional Tool Slots. This is your...
Guide Hollow Knight: Silksong: Crests Guide - All Crest Locations & Effects
Crest is Best
Hornet's playstyle is very different in Silksong compared to her counterpart in Hollow Knight. And, perhaps the biggest difference is that you have the ability to change how she fights by equipping different Crests. As if Tools and Cloaks weren't enough, Hornet needs to have something else to equip! This guide covers every single...
Guide Hollow Knight: Silksong: Mask Shard Locations
Masking your HP
If you need to upgrade Hornet's health in Silksong, then you'll want to gather as many Mask Shards as you can. You'll need four of these to boost your health by one mask, and some of them are tricky to find. This guide will show you where to find every Mask Shard in Hollow Knight: Silksong. All 20 Mask Shard Locations in...
Guide Hollow Knight: Silksong: All Lost Flea Locations
Those fleabags...
Fleas are everywhere! That's usually a bad right, right? In Silksong, it sort of still is, but Fleas are the pests they are in the real world. Makes sense in a game all about bugs... The Flea Caravan needs your help finding all of the Lost Fleas so they can move on, and Hornet is willing to help. You'll also get some nice rewards...
Guide Hollow Knight: Silksong: Progression Guide - Recommended Route
Lost in Pharloom
With Silksong being a Metroidvania — and a big one at that — it's easy to get lost. Pharloom has multiple biomes and locations that hide secret paths and items, but you might just be looking for how to move forward. This guide will give you our recommended route for each act in Hollow Knight: Silksong; we'll focus on the...
Guide Hollow Knight: Silksong: Where To Find Shakra - Compass, Quill & Map Locations
Mapping it out
Conifer may not be present in Hollow Knight: Silksong, but a new cartographer has taken his place. Shakra is a proud warrior and map-maker who is ready to fight — with both pen and sword. Like in Hollow Knight, the cartographer is an invaluable NPC who you'll want to seek out early on in the game. Especially if you want to know...
Guide Hollow Knight: Silksong: Best Rosary Farming Spots
Keeping things rosy
Rosaries are the most important currency in Hollow Knight: Silksong. You'll need them to buy equipment, open up benches, and even enter areas sometimes. You'll run out of the fast — particularly if you find yourself dying a lot. Fortunately, there are a few easy ways to farm Rosaries so that the pilgrims across Pharloom will...
Guide Hollow Knight: Silksong: How To Bind Eva
How to get Vesticrests and upgrade the Hunter Crest
Throughout Hollow Knight: Silksong, Hornet will bind a number of old Weaver statues, enemies, and sometimes friends, to gain new skills. One of these involves Eva, a hidden NPC you'll find deep in Mosshome. You can eventually bind Eva to gain an extremely powerful Ancestral Art, but the...
Guide Hollow Knight: Silksong: Every Silk Skill & Ancestral Art
All of Hornets abilities and how to get them
Relying on just your needle won't be enough in Hollow Knight: Silksong. Luckily, as with any good Metroidvania, Hornet can learn a range of traversal skills and special attacks that help make combat and exploration... well, not a breeze, but a lot more manageable. Below we're listing every single Silk...
Guide Hollow Knight: Silksong: How To Upgrade Your Needle & Weapon Damage
A fine point
Hornet is certainly strong, but even she and her trusty needle need a bit of a boost. And in Silksong, Hornet can upgrade her weapon a handful of times to boost her damage. In this guide, we've got you covered on how to upgrade Hornet's needle so you can do more damage in Silksong, and how many times you can upgrade it. How to...
Guide Hollow Knight: Silksong: Wish Quest List - All Tasks & Rewards
Wish upon a bug
Hollow Knight: Silksong introduces a brand new quest system known as the Wish Board. There are multiple towns and characters scattered across Pharloom that need your help, and you'll either need to speak to the right character or examine the request board in town. This guide will act as your big side quest hub in Silksong, and we'll...
Hollow Knight: Silksong News
News Team Cherry Explains Hollow Knight: Silksong's "Steep Difficulty"
"We allow you to go way off the path"
We all waited a whopping seven years to get our hands on Hollow Knight: Silksong, and what has been the talking point in the weeks following its release? The difficulty. With tricky bosses, perilous platforming and some meaty runbacks, many have found Silksong to be a touch too tricky at launch — even after a...
News Another Silksong Patch Is On The Way, But Don't Expect More Difficulty Tweaks
The cherry on top
Hollow Knight: Silksong just got its first post-release patch last week — one which actually nerfed the difficulty of a few early game bosses — but Team Cherry is almost ready to put out a second one. This time around, however, it's all about bug fixes (haaa...) and tweaks to Tools. Sharing the details on
Opinion Silksong's Tight Construction Is Exactly What I Need After Too Much Open-World Loafing
I have to fight the boss now? But I was picking flowers!
Of course, it's not in any way whatsoever radical to have your players follow along a tightly-scripted path in a video game. It's nothing new, it's nothing that hasn't been a constant (in platformers especially) since...well...forever. So why is it, some five or six hours into my time with...
News "I Have No Words" - Silksong Fans Are Losing Their Minds Over One Bench
"this is the most anger i have ever felt for any game ever"
Hollow Knight: Silksong is a pretty tough game; we know this, and we've discussed it at length already. But there's one section of the game that is proving to be particularly devious. Before we go ahead, please note that although this article won't cover anything related to Silksong's...
Talking Point Is Hollow Knight: Silksong Too Difficult?
Phar too hard?
The original Hollow Knight was no pushover, but it's safe to say that its sequel is hitting a whole new level of difficulty. You only need look on social media to see that some folks have been struggling with their journey through Pharloom. A few are even going so far as to say that Silksong is "way too difficult to be enjoyable" or...
News Hollow Knight: Silksong's Upcoming Patch Will Nerf The Difficulty In Certain Areas
It might be proving too much for some
Team Cherry has announced the first patch for Hollow Knight: Silksong, bringing a solid selection of fixes and improvements to the newly-released game (thanks, Eurogamer). Due for launch "mid next week", one key aspect of the patch is that it will actually nerf the game's difficulty in certain areas –...

A star is born

One these roles features a developer with which you might be quite familiar: Eric Barone, A.K.A. ConcernedApe, A.K.A the creator of a little game called Stardew Valley. As...
Managing expectations
After an exceptionally long wait, Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on the Switch and Switch 2, and perhaps one of the most pleasantly surprising aspects of its launch is its price. You're looking at $19.99 / £16.75 / €19.99 / ¥2300 for the new release which, given the sheer length of its development and presumptions...
