How to get to Mount Fay in Hollow Knight Silksong

How do you get to Mount Fay in Silksong? The high peaks of Pharloom's ice biome are certainly not for the weak. Destructible terrain can quickly impede your progress, and without proper preparation, you might be forced to turn back. However, just getting to this area can be a real trek in itself.

Mount Fay is an optional area on the Silksong map, but that doesn't mean you should ignore it. This location includes the item that unlocks the Silksong Double Jump ability, plus a Silksong Mask Shard, a Lost Fleas, and one of the best Tools. You can even find a secret cameo for Hollow Knight Silksong loreheads. If all that sounds too good to pass up, here's how to get to Mount Fay in Silksong.

First Hollow Knight Silksong update arrives early, and we all needed it

Developer Team Cherry launched Hollow Knight Silksong without much fanfare after seven years of development. It didn't need an extensive marketing campaign, because its predecessor has achieved cult status in the Metroidvania and indie game communities. All it took to break all known gaming storefronts was a YouTube announcement and a two-week notice period to get players on high alert. However, soon after the game released, players have been disheartened with its difficulty. Team Cherry has responded quickly, and a patch fixing some frustrations went live in the early hours of this morning.

All Hollow Knight Silksong Pollip locations

Where are all the Silksong Pollip Heart locations? These purple flowers aren't difficult to spot, but it's not always clear how to reach them. However, they're well worth tracking down, especially if you want to use all the best tools in combat.

There are six Pollip Hearts in Hollow Knight Silksong, and all of them can be found in Shellwood area of the Silksong map. They're a rare item for one of the many side quests in the game, and as the name suggests, you need to find and break open Pollips to retrieve them. This quest is ideal to complete before you beat Sister Splinter, since you need to go through Shellwood before you can save Bellhart and continue your progress.

This secret item will neutralize Hollow Knight Silksong's most annoying enemy

There are some areas in videogames that you just know are going to be a bad time. Blighttown doesn't sound particularly inviting. The Path of Pain in Hollow Knight also comes to mind. I prefer this naming convention to hiding a devious platforming test, puzzle box, or insurmountable foe behind a normal-sounding name, like Water Temple, for instance. But as soon as I reached Bilewater in Hollow Knight Silksong, I knew I was in for a bad time. Thankfully, players have quickly found a way to make it slightly easier.
