Hollow Knight Silksong Twisted Bud location and how to use

Where is the Silksong Twisted Bud? This contorted mass of ashen vine might technically be a quest item, but it sure makes one heck of a racket while you're carrying it around. If you've found the Twisted Bud and grown tired of its incessant crying every time you open your inventory, we can walk you through exactly how to use it.

The Twisted Bud is required to unlock one of the Silksong endings - we won't spoil it, but if you'd prefer to navigate the Metroidvania game completely in the dark, turn back now. Of course, before you can use the Twisted Bud in Hollow Knight Silksong, you might need to find it first. It's tucked into a secret corner of the Silksong map, which means if you haven't stumbled upon it accidentally, you might miss it entirely. To speed up your playthrough, here's exactly how to find and use the Silksong Twisted Bud.

Hollow Knight: Silksong mod lets you immediately load up any boss fight when you want to get some practice in

A new Hollow Knight: Silksong mod lets folks load directly into any of the metroidvania's boss fights from a dedicated menu, essentially turning the game into a choose your own bottom kicking adventure.

After all, who doesn't crave the ability to deliberately battle the one boss they're actually good at beating over and over again, ego juice coursing through their veins, a roar of sheer powerful ecstacy reverberating around their quarters? Or, you know, you might just fancy some practice ahead of your next full run through the game.

I think that no matter when Hollow Knight: Silksong released, it was going to ruffle some feathers. Not because of any of that difficulty discourse you've probably seen on your timeline since its release, we're done with that, I'm talking about its literal release date, September 4th. You probably saw several games delay themselves out of its window to be in with a fighting chance in this current media hellscape we have. But there was one notable release that stuck with its date, and that's Hell Is Us, which came out, oh dear, September 4th. And the game's creative director, Jonathan Jacques-Belletête, understandably has some feelings about that.
