Silksong Platinum Walkthrough Part 8 - 100% Completion Guide Cover

๐Ÿ“– The Complete Breakdownโ€‹

๐ŸŽฎ Section 1: Cleanup, Collectibles, and a Critical Warningโ€‹

Based on segments 0.0 - 468.0 from the original content

Welcome back, weavers! Part 8 of our Silksong Platinum Walkthrough is a massive one. We're kicking things off with some crucial cleanup before tackling the main storyline in Bellhart. Our first stop is Hunter's March to meet an NPC named Scar, but we'll be fast-traveling via Deep Docks to get there.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Key Takeaway: At this stage in your 100% Completion Guide, it's critical to follow the path closely. Interacting with NPCs in the wrong order or buying out their shops too early can lock you out of questlines. When in doubt, talk to them but don't buy everything unless instructed.

โš ๏ธ DON'T BE A NOOB: The Cage Enemy in Farfields Segment Reference: 212.48 - 281.47

In Farfields, you'll find an enemy carrying a large cage. This is a direct nod to Bloodborne's Snatchers.

  • DO NOT KILL HIM.
  • DO NOT GET CAPTURED BY HIM.

This enemy is a one-way transport to a late-game area called "The Slab." We will get captured by him intentionally much later to grab a specific tool and open a shortcut. Killing him removes this convenient transport. If you kill him by accident, there are others, but this is the easiest one to leave alone for now.

Silksong - DO NOT KILL this cage enemy in Farfields

๐ŸŽฎ Step-by-Step: Acquiring the Curved Claw

  1. Find the Hidden Room: In the room just before the boss arena in Farfields, look for a hidden entrance on the upper left wall. Silksong - Hidden entrance to Scar's room in Farfields
  2. Meet Scar: Navigate the short obstacle course to find Scar, a merchant.
  3. Buy the Tool: Purchase the Curved Claw tool from his shop. This is essential. Do NOT buy the Fractured Mask just yet; we'll come back for it later to manage his questline properly. Silksong - Buying the Curved Claw tool from Scar

โšก Section 2: Greymoor & Bellheart 100% Sweepโ€‹

Covering segments 468.03 - 1726.45 insights

Silksong - Map of Greymoor showing unexplored areas

With the Curved Claw in hand, it's time to fully clear out Greymoor. We'll be unlocking all the remaining map sections, grabbing key items, and meeting new characters.

๐Ÿš€ Greymoor Collectibles & Encounters:

  • Yarnaby the Bell Guy: In the left tower of Greymoor, you'll find a new NPC, Yarnaby. Exhaust her dialogue for now. Silksong - Meeting the NPC Yarnaby in Greymoor
  • Rosary String & Pimpio Tool: Directly above Yarnaby, grab a Rosary String. Then, break the ceiling above that to find a secret room containing the crafting metal for the Pimpio tool. Silksong - Secret breakable ceiling leading to the Pimpio crafting metal
  • Silk Eater Item: Navigate a tricky spike and air-wave section in the upper-left tower to grab the Silk Eater, a consumable that retrieves your cocoon after death. Silksong - Difficult jump to get the Silk Eater item in Greymoor
  • Krat's Secret Spa: On the right side of Greymoor, find a breakable wall to meet Krat. After a... memorable interaction, you'll unlock the Flea's spa, which fully restores health and silk. Silksong - Entering Krat's secret spa

๐Ÿ’ฅ Section 3: Boss Guide: Widow, Weaver of Stringsโ€‹

Deep dive into segments 2828.57 - 3404.7 content

Silksong - Entering the arena for the Widow boss fight

This is the first major skill check of the game. Widow is a fast-paced, rhythmic fight reminiscent of the Mantis Lords from Hollow Knight. Stay calm, learn the patterns, and she's one of the most satisfying bosses to master.

๐Ÿ† Boss-Level Execution: The Widow Strategy

  1. Positioning is Key: Stay near the center of the arena. This gives you the most time to react to her string attacks.

  2. Learn Her Attacks:

    • String Summons: Golden light beams will appear, indicating the path of incoming bells. This is your primary window to deal damage. Find a safe spot between the strings and attack. Silksong - Widow's golden strings showing bell attack paths
    • Diagonal Dash: She'll dash diagonally, followed immediately by a horizontal lunge. Dash under her initial dive, then immediately jump over the lunge. This is her most dangerous move.
    • Arena Fill: She'll summon bells across the entire floor. The only safe place is on the walls. Jump onto a wall and wait it out. This is a free moment to breathe. Silksong - Hornet clinging to a wall to avoid Widow's arena-wide attack

  3. Phase 2 - The Tempo Increases: After you "defeat" her the first time, she gets back up for Phase 2. The patterns are the same, but much faster, and the strings now appear diagonally. Stay focused on dodging her dash combo and only attack during the string summons.

๐Ÿš€ Pro Player Move: The Plasmium File Trick Segment Reference: 3134.29 - 3150.29

At the end of Phase 1, there's a long transition animation. This is your chance! Rapidly use all three charges of your Plasmium File. This will give you three extra health masks for Phase 2, acting as a massive safety net. Only use this trick when you're confident you can win, to avoid having to backtrack and refill it.

Silksong - Unlocking the Needle-In (Harp) tool after defeating Widow

Defeating Widow rewards you with the Needle-In, a new tool that allows you to play a harp, revealing secret paths marked with a special symbol.

[Segment Reference: 3896.84 - 4125.82]

Silksong - Fighting the second Skull Tyrant at Bone Bottom

One of the most pivotal moments in this part of the Silksong Platinum Walkthrough is the ambush at Bone Bottom. This event leads to the death of a beloved character, Pilby, and is a critical step for a long-term questline.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Event Breakdown: The Fall of Bone Bottom

  1. The Ambush: After defeating Widow and advancing the story, returning to Bone Bottom triggers an attack and a fight against a second Skull Tyrant. This fight is a cakewalk now that you're powered up.
  2. The Aftermath: The town is in ruins, and Pilby is mortally wounded. This is a scripted event; at this point in the story, you cannot save him.
  3. The Funeral: After reloading the area, a funeral cutscene will play. Silksong - The funeral cutscene for Pilby
  4. Secret Dialogue: During the funeral song, use your new Needle-In (Harp) ability. This triggers unique, sorrowful dialogue and is a missable interaction. Silksong - Using the Harp during the funeral for secret dialogue

  • Needle-In (Harp): Your reward for defeating Widow. Opens secret doors.
  • Speed Anklets: Found in a secret Weaver's Nest. Increases run speed.

โšก Phase 2: Core Upgrades Silksong - Upgraded Hunter Crest from Eva

  • Needle Upgrade: Pliny in Bellheart sharpens your main weapon.

  • Crest Evolved: Eva upgrades your Hunter Crest.
  • Extra Tool Slot: Eva grants you a permanent additional tool slot.

โ“ Community FAQ - Your Questions Answeredโ€‹

Silksong - Using the Harp to open a secret Weaver's Nest door

๐ŸŽฎ Q1: How do I find the secret Weaver's Nest areas? - Referenced in segment 4306.89โ€‹

A: After defeating Widow, you get the Needle-In (Harp) tool. Look for large, circular doors with a distinct insignia. Stand in front of one and hold the tool button to play the harp and open the door. The first one is in the Bone Bottom chapel, and the second is in Farfields.

โšก Q2: I'm stuck on the speed puzzle in the Weaver's Nest. How do I solve the second part? - Referenced in segment 5666.8โ€‹

A: This is a secret-within-a-secret!

  1. The first puzzle just requires you to run over all the pressure plates to get the Speed Anklets.
  2. For the secret part, you must be even faster. Rest at the bench, equip both the Speed Anklets AND the Flea Brew. Pop the Flea Brew for a temporary speed boost, then run the pattern again. This unlocks a hidden floor to a secret area below. Silksong - The pressure plates glowing differently to reveal the secret room

๐ŸŽฏ Q3: What happens if I can't save Pilby? Does it ruin my 100% run? - Referenced in segment 5342.36โ€‹

A: No, his death does not ruin your 100% Completion Guide. It's a scripted event based on your interactions with him up to that point. While tragic, his questline is picked up by another NPC later. The most important thing for completionists is to trigger the secret dialogue by playing the harp at his funeral.
