Table of contents
Shellwood
After Sister Splinter is down, head to the left and exit this area. Drop down the ledge and take care of the neck shooting bug/plant.
Move around to the left and and go up towards the spikes.
Go up from here, jumping off the flowers. Be mindful of the spikes and the neck extender flowers along the wall. There are other flower bugs here – once you see a path leading to the left beset by spikes, head that way.
In the next area, go over the water to the other side and clear the path through.
Make your way across the spikes to the other side in this area and go up.
There are two neck extender flowers here, take them out and clear the path at the top.
Jump off the flower and the neck extender flowers to gain height and keep moving up and to the right. Clear the path there and then jump off the flowers to get across to the right.
You will see the exit up ahead. Jump over the chasm and you will find a Weaver tomb.
Inspect it to get Cling Grip.
Scale the wall to the right, get up and exit through the right. In the next area, wall jump through to the other side and start climbing up.
Stick to the right as the left path is beset by spikes but the right path has enemies. At the top break open the path to the left.
Drop down in the water and to the left is a purple nest. Crack it open.
Go through and drop down. Move to the right once you drop to get a Pollip Heart.
Drop down and move to the right but this time go up the second right path.
A whole lotta Rosaries up here. Drop back down, continue to the right and take the path leading below.
In this area, head down and then to the right to exit. In the next area, jump off the flowers and the platforms to get to the bells. Break them down to create a path to enter Bellhart.
Bellhart
Keep smashing through and eventually you will exit this area. In the next part, there will be bell bugs hidden within the bells. Break the next wall, near the path heading up.
You will see a large bell closing in on you, so start moving up.
At the top turn to the left and go through you will find a Flea for the wish. Drop down, go to the right and kill the large bell bug moving up and down the channel.
Drop down and break the wall to the right. Move to the right and drop down. Take care of the bug here and break the wall on the right.
A bag full of Rosaries await you. Head to the left now and another huge bell bug is blocking progress so take him out. There is another one underneath him though. Wait in the small opening in the left and take that one out too.
You need its corpse to save you when you jump down. Now go to the right and jump above the spikes and go up. On the left there is a cove where you can find Rosaries.
Now go back to the small alcove you stood earlier to take the huge bell bug. Break it down and go through.
Go through and jump over the gap (we will come back here later) and then break the wall down on the other side – this will allow you to exit this place.
In the next area you will see a sign post pointing towards a bench – go across the area and then clear the path at the end.
In the next area, go up and pick up the Rosary string from the ledge on the left.
Drop down and rest in the bench. Come back up by wall clinging and then go back to the right to the area we crossed earlier. Go across the spikes again and enter the bell catacombs again. Drop down the path we jumped over earlier. Go to the right and drop down. Prepare for a Boss fight.
Boss: Widow
Let’s break it down.
She will teleport out and come back to pull the silk to summon a diagonal bell drop. You can see a strand of silk showing the angle.
This will come in from both sides.
Next, she will pepper in bells coming in straight down from the ceiling. She will string (no pun intended) multiple bells from various directions.
She will teleport and then slash at you diagonally, land and then slash horizontally.
She will rush across the screen and summon multiple webs and then summon a bunch of spikes on Hornet’s head. But there are gaps in between the webs.
When the spikes show up cling to the wall, you will not have any space on the floor.
Sometimes she will drop 6 bells in quick succession.
In phase two it will be two diagonals and three vertical drops all the time.
In the final phase, the intensity ramps up. Sometimes she will split the six vertical bells in two areas. The Widow only uses three attacks in this phase: the two bell drops and the ground charge. To make matters worse, she charges you constantly while you’re dodging the falling bells.
You cannot overcommit on this fight. She will punish any overcommitment and you will not be in a situation to react. Keep your distance, dodge the bells, and chip away at her. Persevere and she will go down.
Once she is down, bind the Ancestral Art – Needolin to yourself. Wake up once more in the weaver realm and climb up the platforms and wall scale your way up there to the gate on the right. Play Needolin to open the door.
Run with the spiders and get on the disappearing platforms and wall scale to head up. Land on the platform on the left and move that way.
Eventually, inspect the glow on the floor and watch the cutscene.
This concludes this part of the walkthrough for Hollow Knight: Silksong. You can find the next part here.
