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: All Bosses In Order - Locations & Rewards
Every boss encounter in Silksong, including optional bosses
Silksong is all about the bosses. With over 40 fearsome enemies to take on in Pharloom — and some of them are really mean — you might be looking for the place to find them all. Well, we have a list of every boss you'll fight in Silksong, including optional fights. We've broken these up...
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: 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: 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: 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: 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...
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: 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...

News The Game Awards Nominees Announced, Donkey Kong Bananza Up For GOTY
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 gets 12 nominations
The Game Awards has officially announced the nominees for this year's event, which takes place on 11th December 2025. The 'Game of the Year' category is pretty predictable, all things considered, but it's nevertheless nice to see Donkey Kong Bananza get some recognition. That said, there's some stiff...
News The Indie Game Awards 2025 GOTY Nominee List Is Packed With Switch Hits
Plus a handful that we'd love to see on Switch 2
It's that time of year again, folks. GOTY season is almost upon us, and while Mr. Keighley's big event is staying quiet on its nominees for the time being, other shows are already gearing up to crown a winner.

News Hollow Knight: Silksong Receives Another Update, Here Are The Patch Notes
Fixes galore
Team Cherry has dropped another update for Hollow Knight: Silksong on all relevant platforms, adding in a host of fixes that should make for a more stable experience. We know y'all like a bit of stability with your updates. The patch notes here are primarily for Steam, so there will likely be a few things that won't be relevant for us...
Opinion Silksong Might Just Be The Funniest Game Of The Year
Silks and giggles
It's very easy not to see the funny side of Hollow Knight: Silksong. Don't worry, I've been there. Something about bashing your head against a boss for the 20th time takes away the giggles a little bit, and that's okay. But you have to hear me out here: I haven't laughed this much at a game in a very long time. It tickles a very...
Opinion Why Focus On Silksong's Difficulty When We Need To Talk About How Cute It is?
Fari dula tsi ma net~
Over a week after beating Hollow Knight: Silksong, I’ve decided that we’re all focusing on the wrong things. Hornet’s fast-paced movement and range of options are breathtaking, sure, and the game can be maddening. But instead of succumbing to the difficulty discourse, instead of falling into a pit of spikes for a 13th...
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...
