Hollow Knight Silksong Ending Requirements Guide
Hollow Knight Silksong has multiple endings, each tied to specific conditions. Some are based on quests, others depend on items or choices made before the final battle. This guide lists the requirements for every ending without story spoilers, so you can prepare for all possible outcomes.
You can see our full guide on each ending explained here.
Weaver Queen Ending Requirements
To unlock this ending, you must defeat Grand Mother Silk and then choose the Bind option after the fight. This is the most direct ending path, requiring no side content beyond reaching the final boss.
Snared Silk Ending Requirements
This ending requires unlocking the Silk and Soul Wayfarer quest in Act 3. To do that, you must finish all other major quests in Pharloom. Once the quest is available, collect the following components:
Maiden’s Soul
Hermit’s Soul
Seeker’s Soul
Snare Setter
With these items complete, fight Grand Mother Silk and use the Needolin instead of Bind.
Twisted Child Ending Requirements
The Witch’s Curse is the key to this ending. If Hornet is cursed during the story and you do not cleanse it before fighting Grand Mother Silk, you’ll automatically get this outcome. It does not require any special quest completion, only carrying the curse into the final battle.
Sister of the Void Ending Requirements
To reach this ending, you must first finish Act 3 and defeat Grand Mother Silk. After the credits roll, reload your save file. From there, find the Diving Bell Key, descend into the Abyss beneath the docks, and face Lost Lace, the hidden final boss. Completing this fight unlocks the Sister of the Void ending.
Statue Ending Requirements
Exact conditions remain unclear, but it is tied to hidden late-game triggers.
In this hidden ending, Hornet turns into a statue, sealing away the threat much like the Hollow Knight did in the original game. This sacrifice ensures Pharloom’s safety but costs Hornet her freedom, echoing the cycle of containment and loss.
Final Blurb
Each Hollow Knight Silksong ending requires specific steps, from completing entire questlines to carrying curses into battle. By tracking these conditions, you can unlock every outcome without replaying blind. Planning ahead ensures you’ll see all of Hornet’s possible fates in Pharloom.
