Every so often, a video game boss arrives with the subtlety of a grand piano dropped from a third-story window. Sister Splinter, the freaky root-monster of Shellwood, is exactly that kind of boss: loud, thorny, and absolutely determined to flatten Hornet into a…

The Hunter’s March does not welcome visitors. It tests them. In 2026, as new pilgrims continue to arrive in Hollow Knight: Silksong, this brutal stretch of the world remains one of the early game’s most demanding detours. A traveler who wishes to see everything the March hides will need…

By 2026, Hollow Knight: Silksong has settled into its reputation as a gorgeous, merciless pilgrimage through Pharloom, and Hornet’s first hours remain a masterclass in humility. Team Cherry did not pull their punches: even the so-called harmless critters can knock two mas…

Crests in Hollow Knight: Silksong are not just fancy hats with a combat license. They change how Hornet attacks, alter the feel of platforming, and come with different tool slots. Here is the delightfully awkward part: when a player acquires a new Crest, they must unlock all the slots…

September has a way of feeling like a reset button for gaming. The summer release rush has cooled, the holiday season hasn’t quite kicked into gear, and players are left with a rare mix of heavy-hitters and sleeper picks to explore. It’s the perfect moment to dive into gam…

In 2026, the conversation around Hollow Knight: Silksong has settled into something unusual for a modern game: a quiet respect for its stubbornness. One player, a longtime fan of the original Hollow Knight, returned to Pharloom expecting the same warm glow of discovery that Hallownest had once…

By 2026, Hollow Knight: Silksong has had plenty of time to teach players that the Mist is not a normal area. It is a foggy little labyrinth with a smug attitude, a fondness for cheap tricks, and absolutely no interest in being mapped like a respectable dungeon. A third-person observer m…

I have spent an embarrassing amount of time poking around every corner of Hollow Knight: Silksong, and just when I thought I had a handle on Hornet’s whole deal, Team Cherry drops a diary entry that has completely rewired how I see her. Yes, we finally get more Hornet, and yes, she is way more…

By 2026, Hollow Knight: Silksong has had time to reveal its quieter pleasures, and one of them is a side quest that turns a simple errand into a proper hunt. The traveler had already survived the early dangers of Moss Grotto, the Marrow, and the Deep Docks, but Bone Bottom still felt like a…

Hornet had learned to dance through Shellwood’s canopy, but the real prize of Act 1 still eluded her. In Hollow Knight: Silksong, the flashy moves and unique abilities are only half the story; the other half is a charged attack that hits like a freight train. That ability is the…

I did not expect Silksong to make me feel like a beginner again. I have played Hollow Knight before—seven years ago, apparently, which is a sentence that makes my knees creak—and I do not spend much time in 2D platformers. My first run through Hallownest was a parad…

The title screen of Hollow Knight: Silksong is a quiet shrine—until someone begins pressing buttons in the Extras menu. In 2026, long after players have mapped Hornet’s kingdom and argued over its hardest bosses, a strange shortcut still lingers there: Up, Down, Up, Down, Left, Right, Left,…

Hollow Knight: Silksong arrived with strong praise from critics and many players, yet its public reception on Steam soon became more complicated than the gameplay discussion alone would suggest. The issue was not combat, platforming, or the haunting world design tha…

I went back into Hollow Knight: Silksong this week with one goal: find the charge-up attack known as Needle Strike. As of 2026, Pharloom is still full of hidden routes, and this ability remains one of the more satisfying mid-game tools to track down. It is not a beginning-of-the-game…

In 2026, Silksong’s Steel Soul Mode remains the game’s sternest test of nerve. The permadeath variant returns from the original Hollow Knight and gives players one life, one save slot, and one shot at finishing the entire campaign without falling once. Even a standard…

Listen, I have a confession: I am still not over Sharp Shadow from the original Hollow Knight. So when I heard that Hollow Knight: Silksong hides a dash-through-your-enemies Silk Skill called Sharpdart in the Wormways, I did what any sensible bug with a needle would do — I packed snacks, ignored t…

Even in 2026, Hollow Knight: Silksong still has a way of making me feel like a lost bug in a very pretty maze. I remember stumbling into Shellwood for the first time, all confidence and no map, and then meeting Greyroot. Her request sounded simple: bring her six purple pollips. Six…

As of 2026, The Slab remains one of Hollow Knight: Silksong’s most memorable detours: a freezing prison full of stolen gear, rude keys, and one very stubborn boss. A player does not stumble into it by accident. The Slab has a nasty habit of taking everything away fir…

I have a confession: I am physically incapable of ignoring an optional area in a Metroidvania. If a suspicious passage exists, I will poke it. If a locked door judges me from across the room, I will make it my entire personality until I find the key. So when Hollow K…

In 2026, the road to Ascend Pharloom’s Crown still runs through the Threefold Memory, and one of those memories is the Architect’s Melody. Hornet cannot simply stroll into a concert hall, tap a music stand, and call it a day. No, the Architect’s Melody lives at the top…

Hornet’s Needle is more than a weapon in Hollow Knight: Silksong — it is her steadfast companion through the hostile halls of Pharloom, and players who want to keep its damage relevant will eventually need to chase down Pale Oil. As of 2026, the Pinmaster’s Oil quest remains o…

I learned the hard way that Pharloom does not hand out second chances. My first few hours in Hollow Knight: Silksong were a blur of boss attempts, risky jumps, and far too many deaths because I treated healing like something I could do whenever I wanted. It is not. Healing here is…

In 2026, the road to Hollow Knight: Silksong’s second act still begins with a question that every traveler must answer: is skill enough, or does preparation decide who survives? The player, an ordinary adventurer with a good memory for warnings, had heard the whispers about the Blasted…

I walked into Bellhart after freeing the town expecting a proper shop, the kind of place that hums with useful trinkets and sensible prices. What I found was a counter that looked almost embarrassed for me. Empty. Almost insultingly empty. Not gonna lie, I stood there for a second, waiting for…

If you’re like me, the moment you step into a new region in Hollow Knight: Silksong, your brain screams one thing: find Shakra. In Act One, that habit pays off constantly. Shakra hands you a map for each new area, and suddenly every suspicious wall, bench, and dead end feels less like a trap and m…

It remains a little strange to say that Hollow Knight: Silksong is real. For seven years, players were teased by Silkposts, fake reveals, and community rituals built around a sequel that often felt more like a shared joke than an actual game. Yet the joke has become a phenomenon. When…

I still remember the moment Far Fields stopped feeling like a maze and started feeling like a launchpad. I am not a speedrunner, and I definitely do not know every hidden route by heart, but when I replayed this stretch of Silksong in 2026, the path to Shellwood felt like a proper…

I know it is 2026 and I am late to the Silksong party, but I finally understand why every conversation about this game sounds like a support group with a side of insect trauma. I expected a challenge. I did not expect Hunter’s March to treat my confidence like a vending machine treats a…

I have a confession: for most of my early Silksong run, I kept staring at ceilings and thinking about the Monarch Wings. In the original Hollow Knight, that double jump opens up so much of the map, and Silksong withholds it for a long time. That is exactly why the Faydown Cloak feels…

Let me be honest: I did not expect Hollow Knight: Silksong to make me question my pogo skills quite so early. I actually think the opening hours are gentler than I remembered from the first game—until Sinner’s Road. That muddy, miserable stretch is where the training wheels come o…

In 2026, one of Hollow Knight: Silksong’s most endearing Easter eggs is still unresolved. Eric Barone, the creator of Stardew Valley, appears in the game’s credits as a voice actor, but the credits do not identify which resident of Pharloom he performed. The omission has…

I have a confession: I am exactly the kind of player who sees a boss arena and immediately checks whether my will is up to date. So when Hollow Knight: Silksong finally arrived and promptly began folding me like a lawn chair, I did what any reasonable person would do in 2026: I opened the…
