How to Unlock Silkspear

Obtained From a Statue in Mosshome

Statue Location Map
The Silkspear can be obtained by heading towards the northern section of the Mosshome Map. Once the area has been reached, interact with the statue to claim the Silkspear.

Avoid Green Gunk Projectiles From Enemies

Gunk Projectile

You will encounter enemies that spit out green gunk as you approach them. Rush towards the enemy to avoid collision with the projectile, or jump away from the gunk as it nears you.

Avoid Activating Spike Traps

You might encounter some traps during your progress towards the statue that manifest as spikes emerging from some surfaces in the area. The mechanism is activated when the rope near the area is slashed, so check for ropes when exploring.

How to Use Silkspear

Remove Threads That Block Access to Certain Areas

Silk Spear can remove the woven threads that are blocking access to some areas in the game, providing you with more locations to explore that were previously restricted from you.

Use Silk Spear as a Long Range Attack

The Silk Spear can function as a long-range attack that can deal substantial damage to enemies. You can try using Silk Spear if you want to unleash damage and avoid melee confrontation with enemies.
