Hollow Knight: Silksong guides
From fast travel to sprinting, you're going to need some skills to take on the bosses in the latest Hollow Knight. So here's your guide on how to get every Silksong ability.
You're definitely going to want more and more Silksong Shell Shards, as they're used to replenish tools, as well as buy certain things, and complete some wishes.
You're going to need to head to Shellwood if you want the Silksong Wall Jump and Cling Grip abilities, which are two very useful traversal tools to have.
If you've played the original game you'll know this is an essential mechanic, but the Silksong pogo jump works a little differently to the first game.
The cutest little bugs in Silksong need to be rescued, so make sure you know the location of the five Silksong fleas if you want to help the caravan crew.
You know you're playing a Hollow Knight game when the very useful Silksong double jump is called the Faydown Cloak. Here's how to find it.
