Hollow Knight Silksong Magnetite Dice Guide & Game Location
The Magnetite Dice are one of the most unusual Tools in Hollow Knight: Silksong. They are tied to a gambling minigame, can be won with a trick, and even looted if the gambler meets an unlucky fate. This guide explains where to find them, how to master the dice game, and why this Tool can be worth adding to your loadout.
How to Get Magnetite Dice in Hollow Knight Silksong
Play the Dice Game with Lumble the Lucky
You’ll find Lumble the Lucky in the Blasted Steps, between Bellhart and the Citadel. To earn the Magnetite Dice, you must beat him in his dice game ten times. Each win earns Rosaries, and clearing all ten rounds rewards you with the Magnetite Dice.
Guaranteed Dice Game Win
There is a simple trick to guarantee a win. Shake the dice for exactly four seconds before rolling (we have had some players report 5 seconds), or count Hornet’s shakes like a metronome and release on the 14th shake. The dice flash briefly when the timing is right, but relying on that alone demands quick reflexes. Done correctly, Hornet will grunt, signaling a winning throw.
Alternate Ways to Obtain the Dice
If you play Lumble’s game once and leave, returning later may show him dead. In this case, the Magnetite Dice will be next to his body. In Act 3, some players report Lumble vanishes completely, and Grindle in the Blasted Steps begins selling the Magnetite Dice for 300 Rosaries instead.
Magnetite Dice Tool Effect
The Magnetite Dice are a yellow Tool with a support effect. They give Hornet a chance to negate damage. Each unblocked hit increases the chance of negating the next one by 2%, stacking up to 10%. On average, this blocks roughly one in thirteen hits, which can make the difference in drawn-out boss battles.
Final Blurb
The Magnetite Dice mix luck and skill, making them one of the most unique Tools in Hollow Knight: Silksong. Whether you gamble your way to victory, scavenge from Lumble’s corpse, or buy from Grindle, securing this Tool adds a subtle but powerful layer of defense to Hornet’s kit.
