Before we dive into the action, let's talk strategy. This Silksong Platinum Walkthrough is structured in three phases to guarantee success for every player, regardless of skill level.

  1. Run 1: The 100% Completion Guide (Current Run): This is our main journey, spanning roughly 25 parts. We'll explore everything, find all collectibles, beat every boss, and learn the game inside and out. No pressure, no speedrunningโ€”just pure, comprehensive completion.
  2. Run 2: The 30-Hour Completionist Run: After we've mastered the game, we'll tackle the 30-hour completion trophy. This will be a condensed, highly-optimized guide (around 3 hours long) showing the most efficient route.
  3. Run 3: The 5-Hour Speedrun: The final boss of trophy hunting. This will be a full, voice-over-guided video of the entire 5-hour run, designed for you to play along and secure that Platinum.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Key Takeaway: For now, just focus on this first run. Enjoy the world, learn the mechanics, and don't worry about the speedrun trophies yet. We'll get there together.

Alright, let's get into it. We're starting at the subway exit in Deep Docks. First thing's first: hit the bench up ahead to save your progress.

From the starting bench, head right, drop down, and navigate left past the elevator to find a secret breakable wall.

๐ŸŽฎ Step-by-Step Path to the "Restored" Trophy:

  1. Navigate the Magma River - Segment: [09:02.96 - 09:29.96] Head down from the main path into an area with a magma river. Before you have the proper gear, you have to bunny-hop across it. If you stand still for too long, you'll take damage. Hornet carefully jumping across the magma river in Deep Docks

  2. Activate the Bridge - Segment: [10:37.96 - 10:40.96] Once across the magma, pull the lever. This raises a bridge, making your return trip much safer. Activating a lever to raise a bridge in Deep Docks

  3. Claim the Spool Fragment - Segment: [10:55.96 - 11:00.96] Make your way to the top-left corner of this room. You'll find a Spool Fragment. Collecting this, your second one of the game, will unlock the "Restored" trophy! Hornet collecting the second Spool Fragment, unlocking the Restored trophy in Silksong

๐Ÿ’ฅ Section 3: The Lockdown & The Forger's Daughterโ€‹

Deep dive into segments [11:45.96 - 15:54.92] content

The gates slamming shut for the first Lockdown event in the Silksong walkthrough

After securing the trophy, you'll come to a large room where pulling a lever triggers a Lockdown event. This is a wave-based combat challenge where you'll be locked in and forced to fight off hordes of enemies. Stay mobile, use your abilities, and focus on one enemy at a time to survive.

Once you clear the lockdown, you'll find a bench and meet two crucial NPCs: the Forger and his polite daughter. She is your go-to for new tools and upgrades.

๐Ÿš€ Pro Player Moves: Essential Purchases

  • ๐ŸŽฏ Magma Bell (Top Priority): Buy this immediately. It costs 110 Beads and some Craft Metal. This tool is essential, as it allows you to run on magma for an extended period without taking damage. The shop interface showing the Magma Bell for purchase from the Forger's Daughter

  • ๐Ÿ’ช Crafting Kit (Second Priority): If you have enough beads left over, buy this. If not, we'll be back later. It improves the damage of your tools, like the kunai.

  • ๐Ÿ”ฅ Secret Sauce Tip: No matter what you buy, make sure you have at least 30 Beads left over. You'll need them soon to unlock a bench, and you don't want to be caught short.

๐Ÿš€ Section 4: Unlocking a Game-Changer: The Swift Stepโ€‹

This is the moment we've been waiting for. With the Magma Bell equipped, backtrack to the area near the chapter's start and head up and to the right. This path is filled with magma floors and new enemies, leading to a second, tougher Lockdown event against aggressive red ants.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Advanced Technique: Beating Red Ants Segment: [22:18.14 - 22:23.14] The trick to these red ants is to stay aggressive. If you back off, they'll spam a high-damage bubble attack. Get in their face and spam your attack. Even if you trade a little damage, you'll defeat them much faster and more safely than fighting from a distance. Hornet fighting a red ant up close to prevent its bubble attack

After surviving the lockdown and some tricky platforming, you will find it: the Swift Step ability. This is Silksong's dash, and it will fundamentally change how you approach both combat and exploration. We are officially a high-speed, death-dealing machine.

The final challenge of this chapter is our first major boss fight against Lace, who serves a similar rival role to Hornet in the original Hollow Knight. Defeating her unlocks the "Farloom's Welcome" trophy.

Beating Lace: A Phase-by-Phase Breakdown

Phase 1: The Dance Lace has three primary attacks. The key is to hit her once and immediately dash away to reset for her next move.

  1. Lunge: A standard forward attack. Dash back, then counter.
  2. Diagonal Dive: She'll jump and dive towards you. Dash under her to get behind her for a free hit. Dashing under Lace's diagonal dive attack for a counter-attack opportunity
  3. Golden Dash: Her needle will glow gold before she dashes across the screen. This is your cue to simply jump over her. This is also your best window to heal if needed. Lace's needle glowing gold, indicating her dash attack is coming

Phase 2 & 3: Upping the Tempo After you stun her, the fight gets faster.

  • Phase 2 adds a slam attack. This move has a lot of recovery time, giving you a perfect opportunity for a cheap shot.
  • Phase 3 adds a teleport. A white orb will appear on screen showing where she'll strike. As long as you aren't in the orb, you're safe. Keep moving and stick to the core strategy.

Once she's down, you'll earn your sixth trophy and complete a major milestone in your Silksong Platinum Walkthrough Part 3 journey!

Hornet dying to spikes right before a shortcut in Silksong

โŒ Getting Greedy Before a Shortcut - Segment: [23:42.44 - 23:51.20] During the push to get the Swift Step ability, I died by getting knocked into spikes right before unlocking a critical shortcut. It forced a long, frustrating run-back.

  • โœ… Fix: When you're low on health and near a lever or shortcut, prioritize your survival. Clear enemies carefully and activate the shortcut before doing anything else. Don't get greedy for one last hit.
  • ๐ŸŽฏ Silksong Platinum Walkthrough Impact: Wasting time on unnecessary deaths is the enemy of any 100% completion run. Playing it safe near shortcuts will save you immense frustration.
