HOLLOW KNIGHT: SILKSONG - EXCLUSIVE CONTENT

The long-awaited sequel to Hollow Knight puts you in control of Hornet, the princess-protector, as she explores a brand new kingdom filled with dangers and mysteries. This 2D Metroidvania keeps the hand-drawn art style and orchestral music that made the original so special, while introducing over 150 new enemies and fresh gameplay mechanics.

Today we’re sharing the top fragments from the game, including the best farming spots, secret areas, hidden mechanics, and boss fight strategies that will help you master this challenging adventure.

Fast Rosary Farming at Grand Bellway

Need rosaries fast? Grand Bellway is where you want to be. Stay close to the teleport so you can come back quick, and grab these three items:

Barbed Bracelet
- makes you hit harder

Thief's Mark
- gives you 50% more loot

Weavelight
- helps you see better

Here's the trick: use Threadstorm attacks. This move kills enemies without them hitting you back, and more threads means more rosaries. You can get 46 rosaries in 20 seconds with this setup. That's 150 per minute, or 9,000 in an hour. This is hands down the best way to farm in the game.

Getting the Silk Speed Anklets

HOLLOW KNIGHT: SILKSONG -SILKSPEED ANKLETS

These boots are worth the effort, but the path to them isn't obvious. Here's what you need to do:

Step 1: Prerequisites First, make sure you've upgraded Needle Lench Reversal. Then head to the Weaver's Hut in Farfields.

Step 2: Navigation Go down to the Eastern Chamber and take the lower path heading east. Destroy any cores you encounter along the way until you reach the Weaver's Door. Use Needle Lend to open it and enter Weave Nest Cinderal.

Step 3: The Sprint Challenge Here's the tricky part - you need to sprint across all the floor panels east of the bench without stopping. This will raise a structure containing the Silk Speed Anklets.

Secret Enhancement Want maximum sprint speed? Complete Fleamaster Mushka's "Find Five Fleas" quest to get Fleabrew. Combine this with the Silk Speed Anklets for the fastest possible movement.

Hidden Bonus If you complete all the floor panels correctly, the structure will lower and reveal a portal to a basement area. Down there, you'll find a rune and the Rune Harp Relic, which you can sell to Relic Seeker Scrounge for 110 rosaries.

Creepy Bench Secretin Bellahart

There's something unsettling about one particular bench in Bellahart. When you sit on it, you'll notice bugs wrapped in threads, all staring upward. But the real mystery happens when you rest on the bench, close the game completely, and return.

When you reload, Hornet herself will be trapped in a web and must break free. The identity of whoever controls these threads remains unknown, adding another layer to Silksong's dark atmosphere.

Battle Strategy: Fighting Lace

Lace is one of the tougher opponents you'll face, but she's manageable with the right approach. Swift Step is absolutely essential - don't even attempt this fight without it.

Lace's Attack Patterns:

Double Forward Strike
Jump Attack from above
Dangerous Roll (requires two hits to counter)

Winning Strategy: Keep moving constantly and use Swift Step to get behind her for quick strikes before retreating. The key is hit-and-run tactics rather than trying to trade blows.

In her second phase, watch for a sphere that appears - it shows exactly where her next attack will land. Use this telegraphing to your advantage and dodge accordingly.

Victory comes down to patience and practice. Don't get greedy with your attacks, and always prioritize survival over damage.

What Makes HOLLOW KNIGHT: SILKSONG Special

The sequel builds on everything that made the original Hollow Knight great while adding new mechanics centered around Hornet's unique abilities. The acrobatic gameplay feels faster and more fluid than the original, and the new kingdom offers plenty of secrets to discover.

The combination of challenging platforming, strategic combat, and atmospheric exploration creates the same addictive loop that made players fall in love with the original game. Whether you're hunting for rare items, uncovering lore, or just trying to reach the top of the kingdom, Hollow Knight: Silksong delivers that classic sense of adventure and the joy of exploration.
