Hidden merchants are some of the most rewarding secrets in Hollow Knight: Silksong. They offer tools, upgrades, and rare goods that can transform Hornet's journey through Pharloom. One such figure is Jubilana, a wandering merchant whose whereabouts are tied to the Wandering Merchant side quest. Why should players bother tracking her down? Because the quest does not just reward a few Rosaries; i...
As someone who played the original Hollow Knight at launch and has logged countless hours since, I've always regarded it as the pinnacle of the Metroidvania genre. Its charm, tight design, and exploration were unmatched. So when Hollow Knight: Silksong finally arrived, I was both excited and apprehensive. Could a sequel improve on near-perfection? After spending dozens of hours in Pharloom, I c...
I still remember the first time I faced the Last Judge in Hollow Knight: Silksong. It was 2026, and I thought I was ready. But that runback? That endless platforming gauntlet filled with sandworms and bell pogos? It nearly made me quit. Have you ever spent more time dying on the way to a boss than actually fighting it? If so, you know exactly what I mean. The Last Judge is the grand fi...
I have a confession: I spent my first few hours in Hollow Knight: Silksong treating every new room like a buffet of bad decisions. Then I met Mooshka and the Flea Caravan, and suddenly I had a purpose that was not just poke everything and hope. The Lost Fleas quest is one of the earliest side quests in Pharloom, and as of 2026 it remains the best early-game power spike that does not involve sel...
Hunter's March in Hollow Knight: Silksong is the area that broke me. Not literally—my controller survived—but spiritually? Absolutely shattered. 😅 It's early in the game, yet it's packed with enemies that hit like a truck and a movement mechanic that feels like trying to pat your head and rub your belly while juggling chainsaws. And of course, you don't even have a map when you first s...
At first glance, Hollow Knight: Silksong might seem like a compact adventure that could be completed in a few short hours. However, as one progresses, the true scale of the map and the brutality of combat become unmistakably clear. The game doesn't merely offer a main path; it lures players into a labyrinth of secret biomes and side routes. Among these hidden gems is the "My Mi...
In 2026, the video game industry still talks about Hollow Knight: Silksong's 2025 launch as a strange, wonderful anomaly. Team Cherry didn't follow the usual script. There were no review codes sent out weeks in advance. There was no lengthy marketing campaign. The launch date appeared just two weeks before the game did. Critics and players alike went in blind. That single decision changed how t...
Hornet, the fierce protector of Hallownest, had already carved her way through the treacherous depths of Pharloom. But even a warrior of her caliber knew that a sharper needle meant the difference between life and death. Somewhere in the bell-lit town of Bellhart, an old craftsman named Pinmaster Plinney held the secret to unlocking her weapon's true potential. This is the tale of how she track...
As of 2026, Hollow Knight: Silksong players are still discovering the quirks of Loddie, the shopkeeper tucked into a corner of The Marrow. He offers Hornet a straight pin throwing challenge. It looks simple, but it is a classic case of easy to learn, hard to master. Loddie does not explain the rules until they are broken, which is a sneaky move that trips up unsuspecting players. The challenge...
