Special Challenges on the Way to Platinum

Going for Platinum in Hollow Knight Silksong is no easy task. One of the toughest challenges will be defeating the boss “Great Mother Silk” in three different ways:

  1. As the Weaver Queen (binding her power)
  2. Using the Soul Snare
  3. While cursed

On top of that, you’ll need to fully explore Pharloom and collect every key item for 100% completion. The speedrun challenges (finishing the game in under 5 hours or reaching 100% in under 30 hours) are also likely to be a major hurdle for many players.

  • Want to know how long Silksong actually takes to beat? We’ve summed it up for you in our playtime guide.
