Bone Bottom

	Bone Bottom Guide
1	After talking to the Chapel Maid NPC, head east until you reach the next area, Bone Bottom. Make sure to use the bench near the Little Pilgrim NPC to heal and set a checkpoint.
2	Before going to the next area, feel free to interact with Pebb, the shopkeeper NPC, and browse through their wares. Do note that you can buy a Mask Shard from Pebb and collecting 4 shards will increase Hornet's maximum health by one. After browsing the shop, continue heading east to progress the game. ► All Mask Shard Locations
3	Head upwards, clearing enemies as you go. When you hit a dead end, head downwards.
4	Head west and stand on top of the crumbling terrain. You will then be transported to a room where you need to beat a wave of enemies before the path to the next area opens up. After defeating the mobs, head down again.
5	Head east and make sure to destroy the Rosary String and pick up the Rosary Beads it drops, since you will need to activate the bench within the next area.
6	Once you have reached the next area, inspect the bench to activate it. Do note that you need to spend 30 Rosary Beads for the bench to activate. Finally, continue going east to reach The Marrow!

The Marrow

	The Marrow Guide
1	Once you are in The Marrow already, you should head up north since your next main goal is to reach Mosshome.
2	You are on the right path if you see the hole shown above. Jump into it to reach the top half of The Marrow.
3	As you traverse upwards, you will encounter shaking platforms. These platforms will disappear after a few seconds. So, be ready to jump to the next platform!
4	After avoiding or defeating this beetle-like enemy, head inside the room to its left. Inside it, you will find the Tool called the Shard Pendant. Equipping the Tool allows you to get more shell shards from beating creatures.
5	Continue climbing up after exiting the room where the Shard Pendant is located. You will eventually see the pathway shown in the image above. Head inside it to access the area on the way to Mosshome.
6	Once you are in the next area, head down first to see a bunch of skulls with Rosary Beads wrapped around them. Hit the skulls to get a bunch of Rosary Beads!
7	After picking up the Rosary Beads, head west to reach Mosshome. You need to activate a bunch of levers in the area to activate the pullies you need to use in order to further traverse the area. Before leaving The Marrow, make sure to talk Shakra, the Map NPC. If you have enough Rosary Beads, you can buy some of her wares such as a map for The Marrow!

The Marrow 100% Map Guide

Mosshome

	Mosshome Guide
1	Your goal in Mosshome is to obtain the Silk Skill called Silkspear since you need it to free the Bell Beast. The skill is located at the spot highlighted in the image above.
2	Once you are inside Mosshome, head west via climbing the platforms nearby. Be careful with the snail-like creature that shoot green orbs. You can go past it if you bait the creature to attack and then immediately jump to its platform as shown in the video above.
3	Before proceeding to the next area, hit the lever shown in the image above to activate a pathway below. Also, enter the room to the right in order to get a bunch of Rosary Beads!
4	Once you are in the next area, head east until you reach a pathway blocked with silk. Since you need the Silkspear ability to remove the silk, head to the room above it. The room will lead to the spider effigy that will give you the Silkspear ability!
5	After getting the Silkspear ability, go back to the pathway blocked with silk. Use Silkspear to destroy it and then continue heading east to enter a new area and meet the Moss Druid NPC that acts as the quest giver for Berry Picking. Before leaving the room, interact with the bench to heal and set a checkpoint. Exit the room and then head down the hole shown above. Your next objective is to return to Mosshome's entrance. So, you can go to Bell Beast's location.
6	After going back to Mosshome's entrance, proceed to the location shown above. Once inside the room, destroy the silk trap to free Bell Beast. As soon as you destroy the trap, a boss fight will trigger. After defeating Bell Beast, a Silk Heart will be consumed and the Fast Travel system will be unlocked as well. Ride Bell Beast to go back to Bone Bottom! ► Bell Beast Boss Guide

Deep Docks

	Deep Docks Guide
1	Once you have traveled back to Bone Bottom, feel free to do some Tasks first since you have unlocked the quest board already. If you haven't yet, you can also grind Rosaries to buy the Mask Shard from Pebb. ► All Task Locations and Rewards
2	You can visit Shakra too and buy the rest of their wares if you haven't yet. The Map NPC is on the platform northeast of the quest board. ► Shakra Locations and Item List
3	When heading to Deep Docks for the first time, you'll want to start at The Marrow's Bellway Station. You also need to do 4 things: ① = Unlock Swift Step (Dash) ② = Activate the Bellway Station ③ = Rest at the Bench ④ = Fight Lace in Deep Docks
4	From The Marrow's Bellway Station, simply head east. You will encounter a bench on the way; make sure to interact with it since discovering all the bell benches is required to progress the game's story.
5	From The Marrow's Bellway Station, Continue heading east, you will eventually see a lever on the way; make sure to hit it to open a pathway. So, an alternative path to the bottommost part of The Marrow will be available for you to use later.
6	As you reach this point of The Marrow, head down and then continue heading east. Feel free to explore your surroundings. Just make sure you can safely return to the path on the way to Deep Docks. We recommend picking up the Straight Pin tool inside the room marked above. It is a tool that allows Hornet to launch ranged attacks, which will be useful against Lace.
7	Once in Deep Docks, rest at the bench near the entrance, easily found via directional signs. After resting, head down using the lifts you used to reach the bench. Then, head east to enter Deep Dock's next area.
8	You then want to climb up the platforms and then head northeast of the area to reach the pathway towards the dash ability's location.
9	As you head towards Swift Step's location, you eventually need to hop on magma to reach the rightmost part of the area. Do not worry since you won't take damage as long as you are constantly hopping around! Once you have reached a dead end, climb up and then enter the hole, which is the entrance to Deep Docks' topmost area.
10	Climb up the platforms until you see a hole. Go through it to enter the next area.
11	Head west until you see an effigy. Activate it to get Swift Step (Dash). After getting the ability, continue heading west until you see a lever. Hit it to open a door leading towards the room where Deep Dock's first bench is located. Interact with the bench to heal and set a checkpoint.
12	Again, exit the room using the lifts nearby. This time, enter the area where Deep Dock's Bellway Station is located. Activate the station using Rosaries. If you don't have enough Rosaries, farm the humanoid enemies outside of the station.
13	From the Bellway station, head east until you see a direction sign pointing to a bench. Hit the lever to open a door to the bench's location. Once inside, go to the left and then ride the lift. Head east until you reach a room where you need to find several waves of enemies. After beating the mobs, climb up to reach the bench. Resting at this bench is important because it is the nearest checkpoint to Lace's first boss fight.
14	When you are ready, exit the area through the same door you used to access it. Finally, head east until a fight with Lace triggers. With Swift Step unlocked, beating Lace shouldn't be difficult as long as you properly time your jumps when she attacks. Then, attack Lace from behind! After beating Lace, head east to activate a bench. ► How to Beat Lace

Far Fields

	Far Fields Guide
1	When exploring Far Fields for the first time, you mainly need to do 7 things: ① = Visit Shakra ② = Activate the Bellway Station and Bench ③ = Get the Drifter's Cloak (Seamstress NPC) ④ = Get the Mask Shard ⑤ = Fight Fourth Chorus ⑥ = Get Warding Bell (Tool) ⑦ = Go to Greymoor
2	When you are ready, leave Deep Docks and then head east. Make sure to activate the bell bench near Far Field's entrance. Go straight to Shakra's location so you can buy the map for Far Fields.
3	After buying a map, head north to rest at a bench and, more importantly, activate Far Field's Bellway Station. If you are short on Rosaries, farm humanoid enemies nearby.
4	Fourth Chorus, the main story boss in Far Fields, will not appear until you get the Drifter's Cloak from the Seamstress NPC. The path towards the NPC's location is straightforward; just do not fall into the lava! Once you are inside the Seamstress' tent, rest first to set a checkpoint. Then, talk to the Seamstress to start the Wish called Flexile Spines. For the Wish, you need to collect 25 Spine Cores from Hokers. You can find Hokers within Far Field's rightmost area. ► Flexile Spines Walkthrough
5	To gather Spine Cores, you need to make a Hoker attack on you. Doing this will have the Hoker shoot out a bunch of its spine. Once a spine hits a ground or a wall, hit it to get a Spine Core! After gathering 25 Spine Cores, return to the Seamstress to claim the Drifter's Cloak. It's an equipment that allows Hornet to ride strong winds or glide gracefully.
6	With the Drifter's Cloak obtained, use it to reach a hidden cave where a Mask Shard is located.
7	Once inside the cave, destroy all the molten orbs or rocks you see to activate the cave's air vents. Head west until you see a huge molten orb on the cave's ceiling. Ride the air vent to the right and attack the orb. With the orb exploding, it will reveal the hidden Mark Shard's location!
8	After picking up the shard, head out of the cave and then return to the Seamstress tent to rest. Then, head to the Fourth Chorus' location to trigger a boss fight. The fight revolves around actively hitting its head while avoiding its limb attacks and falling molten rocks. After beating Fourth Chorus, head west and then locate the cave where the Warding Bell is located.
9	Once you are in the entrance of the cave, climb up to actually reach the Warding Bell's spot. Pick it up from the corpse.
10	After obtaining the Warding Bell, you can now head to Greymoor. The path to Greymoor is simple: ride the air vents until you reach the topmost portion of Far Fields. Obviously, if a molten rock blocks an air vent, destroy it. Before entering Greymoor, go to Pilgrim's Rest first. Inside Pilgrim's Rest, you can find a bench and an NPC that sells Tools. Do note that you need to pay 30 Rosaries whenever you enter the NPC's house.
11	Within Pilgrim's Rest, you'll see a platform to the right of the NPC's house. Climb up the platform and then head west. Eventually, you will reach a pathway above the entrance of Pilgrim's Rest. Head out of Pilgrim's Rest through the pathway and then hit the lever. Use the air vents again until you actually reach Greymoor!
12	Once you are in Greymoor, head east to rest and also to encounter Shakra again. Immediately buy the map for Greymoor.

Greymoor

	Greymoor Guide
1	Once you are in Greymoor and have bought its map, feel free to explore it first. However, you need to do the following things before leaving the region: ① = Go to Halfway Home, talk to Nuu ② = Activate the Bellway Station ③ = Meet Garmond and Zaza ④ = Get Reaper Crest ⑤ = Fight Moorwing ⑥ = Obtain Thread Storm ⑦ = Rest at the Bell Bench There is, however, an alternate route to reach Greymoor and skip the Moorwing fight. Clearing the Wish called The Lost Fleas by collecting 5 Fleas will give you the option of riding the Caravan to Greymoor. The Caravan will spawn at the exact location of Moorwing's spawn point. If you decided to do the alternate route, Moorwing will spawn west of Halfway Home, just outside the entrance of Greymoor Bellway Station.
2	From Shakra's temporary location in Greymoor, head west. The path is to Halfway Home is straightforward; you just need to fight a bunch of enemies.
3	After entering Halfway Home (the entrance is on the left side of the house), rest at the bench and then talk to Nuu. The NPC will give you a Hunter's Journal, which tracks all the enemies and bosses you have slain so far. Do note that the area to the left of Halfway Home will force you to fight a wave of enemies before you can proceed to the next area. So, equip your best Tools in Halfway Home before leaving. Also, Halfway Home is the nearest checkpoint to Moorwing's spot.
4	Exit Halfway Home and then immediately go to Greymoor's Bellway Station. Activate it so you can freely move out of the region if you want to backtrack and explore other regions whose Bellway Stations you've activated.
5	Head out of the station, go to the spot shown in the image above first to pick up a Memory Locket, which will allow you to expand a Crest! ► Memory Locket Locations
6	Head northwest to recruit two NPCs that will aid you in the Moorwing fight.
7	Before going to Moorwing's spot, head to the Reaper Crest's location first, which is located in a hidden area west of Garmon and Zaza's spot. Do note that before you get the Crest, an ambush will occur. You need to defeat a wave of enemies before you can bind the Crest to Hornet! After obtaining the Crest, exit the area and then open the shortcut so you can explore Greymoor more easily later. Then, head to Moorwing's spot!
8	When you are on Moorwing's spot already and it spawns, Garmon and Zaza will not appear initially. You need to die or flee from Moorwing first and then return to Garmon and Zaza's location. Talk to Garmon and he will mention helping you. With this, return to Moorwing's spawn point.
9	Before fighting Moorwing again, you can now ask for Garmond and Zaza's support, who are located nearby. They join the boss fight after a few seconds. After beating Moorwing, rest at the bench to restore your health
10	Before heading east to Haunted Bellhart, we recommend getting Thread Storm, a Silk Skill, since its AoE is better compared to the Silkspear. It will be useful against the bosses you will encounter after Moorwing. To access its location, you need to enter the house in Craw Lake first. Inside, go to the top-left corner and then beat the waves of enemies. We recommend using the Reaper Crest for the fight since it is easier to hit flying enemies with it. After beating the enemies, climb up and then hit the mechanism to spawn balloons outside the house. Head out and then use the balloon to pogo to the skill's location. Finally, bind Thread Storm to Hornet!
11	After getting Thread Storm, glide down using Drifter's Cloak and then hug the left side of the area until you land on the platform that eventually leads to Greymoor's bell bench. Continue heading east until you spot the bell bench, and interact with it to restore your health. Do note that to progress the story, you need to complete the main quest called “Save the Threadspun Town” first. The quest gets added to your log once you enter Haunted Bellhart for the first time. Its quest reward, Needolin, is needed to open the Citadel Gate! ▼ Save the Threadspun Town Walkthrough

Blasted Steps

	Blasted Steps Guide
1	Before heading to Blasted Steps, make sure to activate the Bench that connects to the Shellwood fast travel spot so that you have a nearby bench to respawn to. Do note there is another way to beat Siksong's Act 1. Instead of fighting the Last Judge in Blasted Steps, you can fight Phantom in Exhausted Organs to reach the Citadel! ▼ Beat Phantom (Alternative Route)
2	Hop across the ravine to reach Blasted Steps. If you fall down the ravine here, you'll end back at Bone Bottom!
3	After crossing the ravine, run all the way to the left until you reach a small metal podium. Wall jump up and follow the path right to reach the next area. Note: If you continue running all the way left, you'll reach the area in the opening cinematic but Hornet will refuse to leave Pharloom.
4	Once you reach the next area, spend 60 Rosaries on the Bench to create a checkpoint before proceeding to the left.
5	Blasted Steps has a weather system that you need to pay attention to. When the sky darkens, the wind will blow very strong and will slow down or speed up your glide depending on the direction you're facing. Wait for the sky to clear and jump across the nearby platforms while making your way to the left.
6	Make your way to the left of the area until you reach a small cave where you'll need to wall jump up to reach the top.
7	Hop across the metal platforms to the right and drop down the rocky area. Two enemies will spawn and you can defeat them or continue heading to the right.
8	Pogo across the bells then head all the way to the right across the rocky platforms to reach the next area.
9	Continue heading to the right and into the next area until you reach Shakra and purchase a map of Blasted Steps from her for 70 Rosaries.
10	Hop up from Shakra's spot and head northwest, using the bells to pogo to the platforms until you reach the exit to the next area. Note: You can lure the flying enemy back to Shakra's spot and she'll kill it for you.
11	Hop up the platforms to the left and hit the lever to create a shortcut at the bottom.
12	Starting from the lever, make your way all the way up to the top of the area. Once there, head left and pay some rosaries to activate the bench.
13	Head left from the bench and pay some rosaries to activate the fast travel.
14	Head right from the bench and into the next open area and hop across the gaps to reach the top platform.
15	Carefully pogo to the right and then up to reach a large open area.
16	Before making your way to the northeastern part of the map, drop down the hole and head left to reach a spot where you can dig up a Craftmetal. There are falling boulders in the cave so take care when dropping down the shafts.
17	Head back up and make your way to the spot where there's a statue of a bug warrior. You'll need to pogo across the bells and wall hop to reach the top area to the right.
18	Head to the right and speak to the two Pilgrims standing in front of the Grand Gate. The gate requires you to activate benches with bells in other areas to play the Needolin. If you're missing any benches, you'll automatically receive the Grand Gate quest and the missing benches will be automatically marked on your map. Once you activate all the missing benches, head back to the gate and play the Needolin which will summon The Last Judge for a boss fight. ► Last Judge Boss Guide

Beat Phantom (Alternative Route)

	The Sinner's Road Guide
1	To get to the Sinner's Road, you will first need to go to the area to the left of the Greymoor Bellway Station.
2	Go up the platforms inside the tower. Instead of going left in the direction of the Moorwing boss fight, get up on the platform to the right.
3	Go through the path on the right. Be careful of the Thread Raker patrolling through the next area.
4	Jump over the gap and enter the path with the elevator sign.
5	Standing on the button will activate an elevator that will drop down in front of the Half-Way Home. You can now use this as a mid-way checkpoint while going to Sinner's Road.
6	Continue past the elevator and jump on the platforms until you reach the ledge on the other side. If you keep going right, there is a breakable wall that you can hit to reveal a hidden room. Going down this room, you will find a broken carriage and a Flea NPC stuck in Silk. If you free him, he will return to the rest of the Flea Caravan and you will have access to a spa carriage at the Flea Caravan's location. ►The Lost Fleas Walkthrough
7	After you freed the Flea, go back to the ledge. Use the Wall Climb ability to get to the top and reach the path going right.
8	Proceeding to the right, you will find yourself at Sinner's Road. The road going to the right is lined with Muckroaches who can deal 2 mask damage if you get caught in their jaws. Use the cages to climb and jump to avoid fighting them.
9	Upon reaching the next room you will immediately see two things: the Green Prince stuck in a cage, and a sign to the Bench pointing upwards.
10	Wall Climb up to the top where the bench sign is pointing, then enter the path to the right.
11	Go to the right and defeat the two flying enemies. Avoid falling into the infested water. If you fall into the water, your Silk Gauge will become infected and the maggots will slowly drain away your Silk. To remove the infection, you will need to fill your Silk Gauge and bind. This will shake away all the maggots, but it will not regenerate any masks.
12	After defeating the flying enemies, pogo off the three spikes then land on the wooden pier. Climb on top of the broken cage hanging above.
13	Pogo on the spike to the left of the hanging cage and land on the platform. Defeat the two flying enemies that will appear. It is better to defeat enemies than to dodge past them since they will keep following you while you're in the area, making your climb more challenging.
14	Once the enemies are defeated, use the spike to pogo to the next platform. After getting on the platform, hang onto the wall on the left then pogo off the two spikes to land on the metal platform.
15	Jump onto the metal ledge and defeat the single flying enemy there. Afterwards, drop down to the platform below the locked door. Hit the lever to the left to open the door.
*	If you climb onto the wall on the left and pogo off the row of spikes hanging on the ceiling, you will reach the abode of an NPC duo named Crull and Benjin. Talk to them and they will give you a Hunt Wish to fulfill. ► Roach Guts Walkthrough
16	Go through the now opened door. Get on top of the cage above then platform to the left.
17	Drop down then hit the lever. The cage below will be lowered down you can use it as a shortcut to get to the Bench from the area where the Green Prince is locked.
18	Go down below then enter the area where the Bench Sign is pointing towards.
19	Use the spike to pogo above the infested pond. When you reach the platform, talk to Shakra to buy a map of Sinner's Road.
20	After paying the bench terminal, you will find that the bench is stuck and unable to go up. To fix the bench, climb up the wall beside Shakra and break the portion on the upper left. This will open a hidden path.
21	Go left then pogo off the swinging spikes to avoid falling into the spike pit. This area requires a lot of timing and patience so use the Drifter's Cloak to hang onto the air longer while you make your next move.
22	Once you reach the leftmost side, hang from the wall then carefully slide yourself down. When you are positioned by the string of the spike, dash to the other wall. Do the same strategy for the next two sections.
23	When you reach the platform with the two thread spools, go to the right and pogo off the swinging spikes to get all the way to the other side.
24	Drop into the infested waters then keep swimming until you see the cogs stuck in the roots.
25	Slash the roots off the cogs to set the bench free.
26	Climb up the opening above then jump on the platforms to the left.
27	Wall climb up the opening and destroy the sticks supporting the platform. Pogo off the spikes to the right to get back to the bench area.
28	After resting on the bench, go back to the area on the right and continue your climb up to the top.
29	Once you reach the top, jump into the opening above.
30	Open either of the metal latches. Once you have climbed out, head left. Avoid falling into the infested waters by pogo-ing off the hanging spikes.
31	Climb up the wall beside the patrolling Roachkeeper. Hit the top left to reveal a path to the Mist.
	Mist Guide
1	The Mist is an area covered in a confusing fog. If you keep going the wrong the way, you will find yourself looping around the area for a long time. To solve the Mist's puzzle, you will need to find the butterflies in each zone and play the Needolin near them. Satisfied by your song, the butterflies will fly towards the correct path.
2	While navigating the Mist, you will come across ghost enemies who will chase you around until you leave the area. You can defeat them by luring them into traps, or pogo-ing off them when they dive towards you.
3	You will know that you have escaped the Mist when you find yourself running down a long corridor. At the end of this corridor is the entrance to the Exhaust Organ.
	Exhaust Organ Guide
1	Enter the Exhaust Organ. After going down the hall, climb up the left wall and destroy the silk covering the bench. Use this bench as a spawn point.
2	Head to the right then climb up the steaming pipe. Time yourself correctly to avoid getting hit by the steam while navigating through the section.
3	When you reach the end of the pipes, go down the lower path to the left then destroy the debris holding up the elevator. This elevator will fall down to the area with the bench and you will be able to use it as a shortcut to the boss if you respawn.
4	Climb up the path where the elevator was originally located. Go right then navigate through more steam pipes.
5	When you reach the top, going left will take you to the Phantom's boss room. Defeating the Phantom will open a path to the left that will take you to the Citadel. This will get you to Act 2 without fighting the Last Judge. ► Phantom Boss Guide

Haunted Bellhart

	Haunted Bellhart Guide
1	Entering Haunted Bellhart for the first time will trigger a cutscene. Then, you will automatically get the quest called “Save the Threadspun Town.” You need to finish this quest first to progress “Seek the Great Citadel.”
2	As you can see, Bellhart's NPCs are bound by silk. So, you cannot interact with them until you beat Widow. But you can go inside the bell-shaped structure to the right of Bellhart's bench. Then, go down to activate its Bellway Station. As always, you need Rosaries for it to activate!
3	In Bellhart's Bellway station, there is also a hidden pathway to the right. You can go inside and explore the area if you want to. It ultimately leads to a path to The Marrow!
4	Return to the station and then call the Bell Beast to go back to Bone Bottom to buy Bellhart's map from Shakra. You can go back to Bellhart immediately via the Bellway Station or do some side content first, such as Wishes and fighting optional bosses like the Savage Beastfly!
5	When you're are ready to progress the game's story again, from Bellhart, head west to enter Shellwood.

Shellwood

	Shellwood Guide
1	An alternate route to Shellwood is to buy the Simple Key in Bone Bottom for 500 Rosaries and then head west to Wormways. The entrance to Wormways is locked; you can use the Simple Key to open it. Do note that you need Dash and the Drifter's Cloak to cross the gap between Mosshome and Wormways!
2	Once you have entered Shellwood from Bellhart, you mainly need to do the following things before leaving the region: ① = Rest at the Bench ② = Buy the Map from Shakra ③ = Get Longpin ④ = Get the Mask Shard ⑤ = Encounter the Lost Flea ⑥ = Fight Sister Splinter ⑦ = Get Cling Grip ⑧ = Go to the Bench and Bellway Station
3	Head west until you reach a locked door. Then, climb up the platforms until you reach the top-left portion of the area.
4	Enter the room and then go down for an ambush to trigger. After defeating all the enemies, head west and then climb up the platforms until you see the bench, use it to heal, and set a checkpoint. Do note that activating the bench costs 60 Rosaries.
5	After using the bench, head out of the room and then go to Shakra's location via the elevator nearby. Then, buy the Shellwood map for 70 Rosaries. To the right of the Shakra, make sure to open the locked door so the shortcut will be available for you to use.
6	Since you have a map of Shellwood already, it will be easier to spot the cave where you can get Longpin. Return to the bench if you need to heal, and then head to the cave's location. The cave's entrance is blocked by a purple hive; destroy it.
7	After picking up Longpin, head back to Shakra's location through the shortcut. Then, proceed to the Mask Shard's location. The path to the Mask Shard cave's entrance involves pogoing on white rose buds. We recommend equipping the Reaper Crest since it is easier to pogo with it. In addition, you can use your Drifter's Cloak mid-air to reposition before pogoing again. Once you are inside the cave, it will also contain a pogo obstacle course that is easy to clear. After obtaining the shard, head back to the entrance.
8	When you are now outside of the cave, glide down using the Drifter's Cloak while avoiding enemy attacks. The Lost Flea is located at the bottom. After obtaining the Crest, exit the area and then open the shortcut so you can explore Greymoor more easily later. Then, head to Moorwing's spot!
9	Once you have located the Flea, you are ready to fight Sister Splinter. Simply follow the route shown above and make sure to activate the elevator that goes down to the bench, so it will be easier for you to return to the boss room in case you die. ► Sister Splinter Boss Guide
10	After beating the boss, head west to do another pogo obstacle course. Go to Cling Grip's location and then bind it to Hornet!
11	Before heading to Widow's location, backtrack and then go to Shellwood's Bellway station and activate it. Make sure to rest at the bench located west of the station as well.

Break the Silken Curse

Grapple onto the ring and jump to the wall once it reaches the right side. Wall hop up then grapple onto the next ring to travel to the left side, then hop up to reach the next platform. Spin the gear in this area to open the path to the right.
3	Hop up the wall then grapple onto the ring to travel to the left side, then wall hop up. Jump up and glide down the other side, then quickly grapple on to the next ring to reach the right side. Hop up the platform then grapple onto the top ring to reach the left side. Keep heading up using wall hops and ring grapples, making sure to avoid getting hit by the spinning gears. The Ascendant's Grip can help you stay on the walls to plan your jumps. Travel using the last ring to reach the platfomr with a path leading upwards to the next area.
4	Make your way up to a large room with a Cogwork Puzzle. Your goal here is to arrange the music so you can learn the Architect's Melody. Note: You can move the spotlights around to get a better view of the notes you need to arrange. ► Cogwork Core Puzzle Solution
5	Rotate the top music piece until it shows an eighth note followed by a joint note. From there, connect the joint note with a matching piece as you scroll to the next music piece below. Repeat the process for the remaining bottom pieces until all pieces are connected. For the second music sheet, rotate until you see a piece with two whole notes. Connect it with the other music sheets below, and it should end with a whole-quarter note, a half note, and a quarter note. The third music sheet should start with a piece that has a whole note. Do the same and connect the rest of the music sheets below, and it should end with a piece starting with a joint eighth note. For the last pillar, rotate it to the piece that starts with flags followed by a quarter note. This should end with a piece containing a joint quarter note and half note.
6	Once all pillars are down, stand on the platform at the center and use your Needolin to learn the Architect's Melody. You'll then need to make your way back to the Cogwork Dancers' boss room in the Choral Chambers.

The Cradle

	The Cradle Guide
1	Once all three melodies are collected, make your way back to the Cogwork Dancers boss arena and interact with the device to play the Needolin. Once the dialogue is over, enter the elevator to ascend to the top of the citadel. Note: Entering the elevator will immediately start a boss fight against Lace. Make sure you're well rested and prepared for the fight ahead!
2	Lace will attack you as soon as the cutscene ends. She's faster this time around and can deal a lot of damage in short burts. We recommend upgrading your Needle and get the Cogfly tool for the fight. ► Lace Boss Guide Speak to Lace after defeating her and she reveals that she's actually not a bug but a being made of silk. After Lace collapses, an orb of silk will appear. Touch the orb to enter a memory.
3	Once Hornet wakes up, make your way up using the platforms. The path up is straightforward, though you'll want to avoid the spikes along the way. Once you reach the top, touch the orb to wake from the memory. After waking up from the memory, a path on the left will open up to the next area.
4	Hop up the passageway to the right and hit the lever to open the Terminus area with Ventrica you can use to get back to the previous areas. There's also a bench to the right of the Ventrica where you can rest and set your checkpoint. Before proceeding onwards, make your way back to Songclave and speak to the Caretaker where you can start the Silk and Soul Wish which is required to proceed to the Act 3. Note: Don't complete this wish right now if you want to get the Weaver Queen and Twisted Child endings. ► Silk and Soul Walkthrough Fast travel back to the Terminus area using the Ventrica, and continue heading up the passageway to reach The Cradle. Wall hop up the passageway to the left and pay the device 70 Rosaries to get The Cradle Map.
5	Continue heading up to reach a large central area just before the final boss. Before heading up, make your way to the right of the area. Drop down and hit the lever to create a shortcut close to the Terminus Ventrica. You can head back previous areas to restock or heal to prepare for the final boss. Head up the platforms and interact with the glowing spot to challenge Grand Mother Silk.
6	Grand Mother Silk will fight using floating needles and claw swipes. In her second phase, she'll also fill the screen with silk to perform a grab attack and also cause boulders to fall on the stage. ► Grand Mother Silk Guide
7	Defeating Grand Mother Silk without completing the Silk and Soul wish will cause Hornet to forcibly bind her, transforming into the new deity ruling over Pharloom and unlocks the Weaver Queen ending. Note: You can reload the game right before you defeat Grand Mother Silk after the credits. You'll also unlock Steel Soul Mode if this was your first ending.
8	To unlock the Snarled Silk ending and proceed to Act 3, you need to complete the Silk and Soul wish and give the items to the Caretaker in Songclave which unlocks the Soul Snare objective. Make your way up the cradle and speak to the Caretaker where he'll further discuss the plan to capture Grandmother Silk. Challenge and defeat Grandmother Silk again and instead of binding her, use the Needolin instead. The ritual to entrap Silk is a success but Hornet seemingly falls to her death when the soul snare collapses. Later, as Pharloom crumbles, silk infused with Abyss erupts from the ground and unlocks the Snarled Silk ending. If you completed all wishes and brought the Flea Caravan to Fleatopia, you can reload the game and remove the abyss on your save file to proceed to Act 3. Otherwise, you need to complete any leftover Wishes and find the remaining fleas to access Act 3. ► How to Unlock Act 3

Twisted Child Ending

	Twisted Child Ending Guide
1	Make your way back to Whispering Vaults through Trobbio's shortcut above the Grand Bellway and head to the large room directly above the Underworks bench. There's a hidden passage that you can jump to to reach a previously inacessible part of the Whispering Vaults. Drop down and activate the fan. Scale up the wall to the left of the fan and head up, then hit the lever to reach the right side of the area. Carefully drop down to reach an area down that leads to Bilewater.
2	Once you drop down the maggoty water, swim to the right to reach an area where you can drop down. Follow the path left and head down and break the wall to proceed to the next area. Continue heading left and break the large vines to proceed. Once you reach a dead end, wall hop up and pogo across the green orbs to reach another large vine wall that you can break. Go through a couple more wall vines and grab the Twisted Bud from the cradle. Follow the path right and down to reach a path with a shortcut you can open to the main Bilewater area.
3	Make your way back to Shellwood and enter Greyroot's home. Once inside, speak to Greyroot and she'll ask for the Twisted Bud. Note: Going through with the rite will prevent Hornet from using tools and abilities and change her moveset, which will make the fight with Grand Mother Silk signficantly harder but is required for the Twisted Child ending. Speak to Greyroot and accept the Rite of Rebirth wish. Greyroot will attack you and after a short cutscene, Hornet will wake up trapped in some roots. Attack the roots to escape.
4	Exit the Chapel of the Witch and follow the path right. Break through some wall vines and wall hop up and grab the Weaver Effigy. Make your way back to the Chapel of the Witch and break the wall to the left to proceed further. Follow the path left and head up to break some wall vines and grab a Rosary String from the corpse. Head back down and break the wall to the left to exit area. Drop down and hit the molten rock to create a shortcut back to The Marrow. Pogo up and break the ceiling to reach the main Shellwood area where you can return to Bellhart.
5	Fast travel to Choral Chambers and use the Ventrica to the Terminus to reach The Cradle. Ascend up the central area and interact with the glowing spot to challenge Grand Mother Silk. Grand Mother Silk will be a more challenging fight as the parasite also prevents you from healing due to your silk gauge receeding. Your health and Needle upgrade carries over the fight though, so we recommend upgrading your Needle and getting as many Mask Fragments you can before challenging her! ► Grand Mother Silk Guide
6	Defeating Grand Mother Silk while cursed will cause the parasite to consume them both, causing branches to engulf Pharloom and an omnious being hatching from the seed at the center of the cursed Hornet and Grand Mother Silk. If this was your first ending, you'll also unlock Steel Soul Mode. After the credits roll and loading the game, you'll respawn at the last bench you rested at and can cure the parasite by visiting Yarnaby to get the other endings or proceed to Act 3. ► All Endings Guide

The Cradle

	The Cradle Guide
1	After loading the game, grab Hornet's needle and drop down to the left side of the stage. A passageway will open on the floor that allows you to head down from the area. Follow the path right then drop down the passage. Hornet will start moving slowly at this point due to her injuries, which means you can only keep heading down the passages. After dropping down the large room, Hornet will take a few seconds to compose herself and you'll be able to run around again. Head left and drop down the passage leading down. Head right across the platforms and exit to the next area.
2	Carefully drop down the passage and hop on the ledge on the right. Break the wall to access another section of the area. Carefully drop down to the very bottom and break the wall to the left. Drop down the floor to open a path to the room below and prepare for a fight. After a few seconds, the dead bugs here will revive after being infused with the Abyss. Defeat the bugs to open a path down, then break the wall at the very bottom to proceed to the next area.
3	Follow the path down and Hornet will get injured again and cause her to move slowly. Head right and the floor will collapse causing Hornet to black out form the fall. After a short cutscene, you'll wake up to Sherma who is now the caretaker of Songclave. Finish the dialogue and your objective will update. You need to make your way to the Ruined Chapel in Bone Bottom to confront the Caretaker. Before heading down, sit on the bench to restore your health and save your checkpoint. You can also re-equip your previous Crest and tools here. The Ventrica in this area is now broken which means you need to head back down to Choral Chambers the long way.
4	Find a Bell Station and attempt to summon the Bell Beast and you'll instead encounter a Bell Eater. Enter the hole to fight the boss. Note: You can fight the Bell Eater in any Bell Station, with the nearest one being the Putrified Ducts one east of Songclave accessed by going through Memorium. ► Bell Eater Boss Guide Once the boss is defeated, use the Needolin to learn the Beastling Call from the Bell Beast. Make your way to Fleatopia in the eastern part of Putrified Ducts and accept the Ecstasy of the End wish from Mooshka. This starts a short side quest where you need to participate in some mini games to celebrate the Festival of the Flea with the caravan. Getting the high score for each of the three minigames will reward a Pale Oil that you can use to upgrade your Needle later.
5	Fast travel to Bone Bottom and clear the rubble to exit to the town. Head left from Bone Bottom and drop down the passage where you exited Moss Grotto and enter the Ruined Chapel. Confront the siblings who reveal themselves as Snail Shamans. Progress their dialogue and if you'll be directed to find the Diving Bell in Deep Docks. If you already found the Diving Bell, your objective will update to finding aid to access the Diving Bell. Make your way to the Deep Docks and speak to the Forge Daughter who will tell you to speak to Ballow right next to her. Speak to him and Hornet will convince him to operate the Diving Bell. Make your way to the Diving Bell and head up the room directly above it and speak with Ballow. He'll give you the Diving Bell Key which is used to access and operate the Diving Bell. Note: Although not a point of no return, we recommend you explore the rest of Pharloom before heading down the Abyss using the Diving Bell. Enter and rest inside the Diving Bell to set a checkpoint. When ready, interact with the intercom on the right to dive into to the Abyss.

The Abyss

	The Abyss Guide
1	Interact with the intercom to the right, then break the door of the diving bell to exit. Drop down and head to the left exit to reach the next area. Platform across the spikes to reach the exit to the left.
2	Pogo towards the raised area where you'll get attacked by a Gargant Gloom and some Gloomsacs. You can ignore these enemies, but we recommend killing the Gloomsacs as they can chase after you. Continue heading left and you'll reach another area with a Gargant Gloom. You can pogo across the void blobs above to avoid it, though you may get chased by the Gloomsacs it spawns. Jump across the spikes to reach the exit to the next area.
3	Carefully float down, avoiding the spikes on the well, and head to the path right first to reach another area. You'll need to carefully pogo and clawline across this area a small room where you can get an Arcane Egg. To exit this area, wall hop up into a narrow passageway with a Shadow Charger and drop down the ledge on the left to return to the previous area. Float down the passage and onto a platform. Drop down the bottom floor and exit to the right to reach the next area.
4	Hop across the platforms across to reach the exit on the right. The abyss will pull down some platforms so don't take too long standing on them. Sit on the bench to restore your health and set a checkpoint. Wall hop to reach a small room just above the bench and inspect the loom to get an Abyss Map. Exit to the right and approach the ledge for a short cutscene. Your objective will now update to escape the Abyss. Pogo using the two void blobs just above the ledge to reach the platform in the middle of the abyss, then jump towards the right to reach an area with a spike wall at the end.
5	Jump towards the middle floating platform so you can reach the platform to the right leading up. Hop up to reach a platform with a Shadow Charger. We recommend defeating this enemy so you can safely pogo across the void blobs to the left later. Pogo across the void blob near the edge of the platform then glide towards the left where you can land on a vertical platform next to the wall. There's also hidden area to the left of the platform where you can get some Shell Shards. Wall hop then pogo towards the void blob, then quickly clawline to the next void blob to reach a platform near the ceiling. Jump across to the next platform and use the Needolin to enter the large door leading to Weavenest Absolom. Make your way down until you reach a Weaver statue where you can bind and get the Silk Soar skill.
6	Quickly use Silk Soar to avoid the collapsing platform to reach a passageway near the ceiling, then head left. Use Silksoar to reach the upper area of Weavenest Absolom.

Head to the right passage to reach a small area where you can get the Farsight item for your Bell Home. Make your way back to the starting area where the Diving Bell was.
7	Use Silk Soar to reach the area above and head left, destroying the wall to exit to the next area. Continue heading left until you reach an area where you can wall hop up to the top area. Before heading up, rest at the bench on the left to recover your health and set a checkpoint. We recommend equipping the Magma Bell and Ascendant's Grip as you'll need it later for some wall hopping sections. When ready, use Silk Soar in the middle of the room. Make your way up until you reach a large open area with a molten rock embedded on the spike floor. Break the rock to create updrafts that you can use to reach the upper area.
8	You'll eventually reach a large crumbling area with a magma pool and a small room where you can restore some silk. Note: Once you head up and break the boulder, lava will quickly fill up the room and it will be a race to reach the top. Fill up on your silk and get ready to wall hop, clawline, and jump to escape the Abyss! Wall hop up and destroy the two glowing rocks holding the boulder at the ceiling. This will cause the boulder to fall into the magma pool below, which will cause lava to rise up and chase after you as you make your way up. Once you reach a large open area, quickly use Silk Soar to reach the very top where the lava will finally stop. Silk Soar up the next room and pogo across the bugs to reach the exit at the top.
9	Rest on the bench to set your checkpoint, then hit the lever above to open the path to Deep Docks. After exiting the area, your objective will now have you return to the Snail Shamans in the Ruined Chapel near Bone Bottom.
10	Speak to the Snail Shamans in the Ruined Chapel and they'll eventually teach you Elegy of the Deep. Your objective will then update and you'll need to seek the Encrusted Heart, Pollen Heart, and the Heart of the Wild. Before setting off, use Silk Soar in the room to the right of the Snail Shamans to reach a hidden area. Follow the path down to get the Shaman Crest.

Red Memory

	Red Memory Guide
1	Return to the Ruined Chapel and speak to the Snail Shamans twice. When ready, rest on the bench in the middle of the Shamans to proceed with the ritual. You'll end up in the Red Memory after the cutscene. Make your way to the right of the memory, pogoing across the silk orbs to cross the gaps. Enter the structure to reach the next area.
2	After a short cutscene, head left to reach a cliff overlooking a large area. You'll need to pogo across the silk balls to reach the other side. Drop down the passage and keep headling left once you reach the ground. You'll eventually arrive in an area with structures found in Hallownest. Make your way up the platforms and enter the structure at the top. After the cutscene, head right and pogo across the silk orbs. Drop down the passage and head left once you reach the ground.
3	Continue heading down and then right to reach another gap that you need to pogo across. Once across, enter the large structure to reach another part of the memory. After the cutscene, head left and pogo across to reach the other side. Head down the passage and walk right to reach another ledge where you'll need to pogo across some bugs. Drop down and head left where you'll need to pogo across another set of bugs to reach the other side.

The Abyss

	The Abyss Guide
1	After the cutscene and obtaining the Everbloom, you'll need to make your way back to Deep Docks. You can speak with the Forge Daugther on your way there and she'll say that Ballow has finished repairing the Diving Bell. In the Diving Bell Room, you can also speak to Ballow before heading down. When ready, enter the Diving Bell and speak to Ballow through the intercom to head down the Abyss again.
2	Make your way down to the rest area in the Abyss and restore your health and set a checkpoint before exiting to the large area. Walk towards the edge of the platform and after a brief dialogue with Lace, dive down to reach the lowest parts of the Abyss. Note: A boss fight will immediately start as soon as you reach the bottom, so make sure you're ready for a fight! Once at the bottom, walk to the right to trigger a cutscene where you'll see a bound Grand Mother Silk. Lace will appear shortly, starting the Lost Lace battle. ► Lost Lace Boss Guide
3	After the fight, take Lace and Grand Mother Silk will use the last of her powers to give Hornet silk to power up her Silk Soar to escape the Abyss. This unlocks the Sister of the Void ending where The Knight from the first game rescues Hornet and Lace from the Abyss. ► All Endings Guide

In Act 3, the Songclave Ventrica isn’t broken. You can access it by using the Memorium Ventrica. Then, you can destroy the wall restoring access to the Songclave Ventrica again.
