Hollow Knight: Silksong News

Yes, Hollow Knight: Silksong has "some moments of steep difficulty" Team Cherry admit, but have you considered going for a pre-boss walk

Something Hollow Knight: Silksong-related has happened at an Australian museum again. This time, rather than the game being confirmed for an appearance back when it was still infinitely mysterious and sans release date, it's Team Cherry devs addressing just how difficult their creation is, following plenty of post-release discourse on the subject.

This follows the metroidvania's first patch making a couple of its early bosses a bit easier to tackle, amid debate as to whether it's just good and hard, or pushes into unnecessarily annoying slog territory via the likes of bench placement and hazards being able to deal out two masks of damage. As with every FromSoft game since time itself began with the release of Demon's Souls, where you stand on that bickering will likely depend on how prepared you are to spend hours battling one foe over and over again.

Best Silksong Tools and all locations

What are the best Silksong Tools? It's an understatement to say that Silksong is challenging. While some players are reveling in the undertaking, others are struggling with tough bosses and even tougher runbacks. If you're in the latter camp, we feel your pain, so we've done our research to help you (and ourselves) out.

You may get some way through the Silksong map before even realizing how good Hollow Knight Silksong's Tools are, but these valuable items are essential to your success. There are three tool types, limited slots, and secret locations to get to grips with if you're going to unlock the best tools in the Metroidvania game. Here are all the Silksong Tool locations and which ones you should be using.

How to get to Hollow Knight Silksong Bilewater

How do you get to Bilewater in Silksong? This murky swamp signals the shift from the mid to late-game in Team Cherry's Metroidvania. However, like many other areas, just reaching it can be an exercise in patience and ingenuity. We can show you exactly how to get there, with several routes to choose from.

Bilewater is an optional area on the Silksong map, which means you don't strictly need to explore it until you're ready. However, clearing it early rewards you with several Silksong tools, Memory Lockets, and Lost Fleas. While finding a bench should be your top priority, we also recommend picking up Ascendant's Grip from Jubilana in Songclave. While it costs 350 Rosaries, it can make this punishing land a little easier to handle, especially once you face the Silksong boss who calls it home.

How to get to Putrified Ducts in Hollow Knight Silksong

How do you get to Putrified Ducts in Silksong? With a name like 'Putrified Ducts,' it's unsurprising you may have initially been reticent to explore it. But now you're here, and that's a good thing for a couple of big reasons.

A fairly unassuming region stashed away in the top right corner of the Silksong map, Putrified Ducts is, technically, an optional area. However, it hosts some of the best Silksong tools you can get your mitts on, especially if you've yet to take on Bilewater's misery-inducing swampscape. It's one of Hollow Knight Silksong's most unforgiving locales, but we recommend taking a trip there as soon as you can hack it. Here's how to get to Putrified Ducts in Silksong.
