Hollow Knight Silksong Hunter’s March Guide
Hunter’s March is one of the most dangerous areas in Hollow Knight Silksong. Found to the east of The Marrow, this sprawling ant colony is filled with red crystal parkour puzzles, tough ant warriors, and the boss Carmelita. This guide shows how to reach Hunter’s March, find the map, and survive its trials.
How to Reach Hunter’s March
Head to the far right side of The Marrow. Past its tunnels and shortcuts, you’ll begin to see glowing red crystals. This marks the entrance into Hunter’s March. From here, prepare for constant platforming and combat against aggressive ant enemies.
Navigating the Red Crystals
Hunter’s March is known for its platforming challenges using red crystals. To progress, you must down-thrust these crystals with your needle, bouncing upward to cross gaps and climb through the anthill. Missing a bounce often drops you into enemy swarms, so patience and timing are key.
Enemies in Hunter’s March
The area is filled entirely with ant-type enemies. Expect melee ant warriors, ranged attackers, and elite variants that guard key passages. They swarm in groups, so it’s often safer to fight them rather than rush the crystal puzzles.
How to Get the Hunter’s March Map
Defeat Carmelita, the boss of Hunter’s March. After the fight, you will find the map seller waiting in the area. For 70 Rosaries, you can buy the Hunter’s March map, which marks your progress and helps with navigation through this twisting zone.
Boss of Hunter’s March: Carmelita
Carmelita is the main boss here. The battle features aggressive melee combos, fast charges, and attacks that force you to stay airborne using crystal bounces. Winning the fight clears the path deeper into the colony and unlocks access to the map seller.
Tips for Surviving Hunter’s March
Practice bouncing on crystals before tackling combat-heavy sections.
Clear enemies carefully instead of rushing platforming puzzles.
Save Silk for healing after failed bounces or swarm ambushes.
Unlock the map as soon as possible to track paths and prevent looping.
Final Blurb
Hunter’s March is one of Silksong’s toughest early-game gauntlets, blending platforming and combat into a constant test of skill. Master the crystal bounce puzzles, defeat Carmelita, and buy the map to make exploring the ant colony less punishing.
