Hollow Knight: Silksong – Surviving Bilewater

Silksong’s Bilewater is one nasty swamp, but timing is everything: swing by Shakra as soon as you arrive to buy the Bilewater map, then loc­ate the Bellway entrance to save yourself a world of frustration. You’ll want to come equipped with the right Charms and tools (think healing boosts and mobility upgrades) before diving deeper.

Don’t miss the hidden bench tucked away near the eastern pools—your new favorite respawn point—and memorize the shortcuts for the ultimate speed-run back to Groal’s boss arena when things inevitably go sideways. Trust us, that run back is a lifesaver.
