Now that Hollow Knight: Silksong is finally here in 2026, I have been diving into every corner of Pharloom. Honestly, after my time in Deepnest back in the original Hollow Knight, I was ready to hate whatever skittering nightmare the sequel threw at me next. When I dropped into the Wormways, I braced for the worst—a cramped, winding tunnel network full of creepy crawlies. To my surprise,...

In the sprawling, silk-laden kingdom of Pharloom, the pursuit of perfection is a challenge that beckons the most dedicated adventurers. For those who wish to leave no stone unturned, no secret unfound, and no tool uncollected, the Farsight becomes an indispensable relic. This peculiar item, obtainable only deep into the late game of Hollow Knight: Silksong, transforms the menu screen into a...

In the sprawling, luminous kingdom of Pharloom, a realm woven with silk and danger, every player of Hollow Knight: Silksong eventually encounters a place that feels less like a level and more like a philosophical crisis. The game’s vastness, with its interconnected caverns, fungal groves, and gilded spires, encourages a spirit of exploration. When one path grows too thorny, another...

Let’s be real: by now, you’ve probably heard the legends. The First Sinner isn’t just a boss in Hollow Knight: Silksong — she’s a rite of passage. I still remember my first encounter in 2026, swaggering into the Slab with a fresh needle and zero clue that I was about to get turned into a pincushion. After all, how hard could one hidden boss be? Ha. Oh, sweet summer...

The glow of bioluminescent moss painted the cavern in soft greens and golds, a stark contrast to the oppressive darkness that had defined the Kingdom of Hallownest. In 2026, as players embarked on their journey through Hollow Knight: Silksong, they were greeted not by claustrophobic depths or an immediate sense of doom, but by the lush, vibrant expanse of the Moss Grotto. This intentional shift...

In the quiet, cathedral-like chambers far above the fungal groves, Hornet discovered the first thread of true power. It was not so much a weapon as it was a revelation—a crystalline shard of essence known as the Silkspear. This was no mere trickshot. It felt like drawing breath underwater for the first time, a sudden, sharp extension of intent that could pierce through the blooming...

I’ve been spelunking through Pharloom for months now, and even in 2026, Hollow Knight: Silksong still finds ways to knock the wind out of me. The sheer density of secrets in this game is absurd – every crumbly wall, every shimmering crevice, every suspiciously quiet room holds something that could flip your entire playthrough on its head. But after countless hours farming Rosaries...

There exists a certain breed of automobile that renders discussion of “cool” entirely redundant. The 1950 Oldsmobile Futuramic Series 88 Club Sedan, particularly one cloaked in unapologetic black and hiding a mountainous big-block V8, belongs to that elite category. This is not a car that asks for attention; it simply takes it, idling with the kind of brooding confidence that turns...

If there’s one place in Silksong I’ve learned to simultaneously adore and despise, it’s the Putrified Ducts. I mean, just look at this place — it’s the kind of sewer that makes you want to move back to the cozy Moss Grotto and knit sweaters forever. But trust me, you do not want to skip it. Hidden behind layers of bile, dangling tentacles, and the most annoying...

In a medium overflowing with world-ending threats and cosmic-level tantrums, the one thing a video game protagonist absolutely cannot afford is a quitter's mentality. Whether they're a battle-hardened angel, a kleptomaniac with a conscience, or literally the son of the underworld's crankiest CEO, the characters that stick with us long after the credits roll share a single, glorious trait: an...
