The wall jump ability in Silksong is located in Shellwood, far enough into the game that you probably won't have it until at least five to ten hours in, and potentially longer. The wall jump ability is also called the Cling Grip, and it's essential to traversal, to the extent that you won't be able to complete Hollow Knight Silksong without it. To help expedite the process, here's how to find the wall jump in Silksong, and a basic walkthrough for the path you need to take through Shellwood to get there.
Where to get the Wall Jump in Silksong
To get the Wall Jump in Hollow Knight Silksong, you need to do the following:
- Progress through the game until you reach Bellhart, which is found to the West of Greymoor, past the Moorwing.
- From Bellhart, head further west into the region of Shellwood.
- Follow the trajectory on the map above to ascend through Shellwood. You'll need to master the Silksong pogo jump ability, using the white flowers to spring off.
- You'll come across the Silksong Sister Splinter boss fight. This is mandatory – you can't get the Wall Jump until you beat her.
- After she's defeated, continue along the route shown above until you make it to the plaque. Interact with it to get the Wall Jump/Cling Grip.
The Wall Jump does exactly what you expect it to – when you hit a horizontal and level surface, Hornet grabs onto it for a second, providing a brief opportunity to leap off the wall and gain access to new heights. You can chain wall jumps together for increased height, and use it to reach locations you wouldn't have been able to before (such as the upper Silksong Bellhart region). If you're looking for a place to test it, I recommend heading there, where you'll find the Silksong Widow boss fight.
There's plenty more to find in Silksong. Check out the location of the Silksong double jump ability, or find out where to find the pesky Silksong Mossberries if you missed that chance earlier!
