Pharloom’s huge map and large roster of bosses make up the bulk of Silksong, so if you’re looking for some general game-progressing tips, you’ll want to dive into the following:<\/p>\n

Complete Map (Coming soon!)
For those who want to see the map, or just try and find an area they may have missed, we’ll be putting together a full map of Pharloom, along with maps for each area in Silksong, right here.
\nAll Bosses & Boss Locations (Coming soon!)
With over 40 bosses to fights, you’ll probably want to know where to find each of these and what they give, especially the optional fights. We’ll be listing every single boss fight in this guide, while tougher challenges may receive their own sections.<\/p>\n

Skills & Equipment – Tools, Crests, and Cloaks
\n\"Silksong<\/a>Image: Nintendo Life<\/p>\n

Hornet has access to many more tools (literally) than The Knight; gone is the nail and gone are charms, it’s time to look at all the Tools, Crests, and Skills the princess of Hallownest has access to.<\/p>\n

All Cloak Upgrades (Coming soon!)
Hornet’s cloak comes in handy while she’s exploring Pharloom, and she can modify it thanks to the help of those handy with a thread and needle. Here’s every Cloak Upgrade you’ll find in-game.
\nAll Tools<\/a>
Embracing the true Metroidvania experience, Hornet can now equip subweapons and passive upgrades known as Tools. We’ve got a list of every single Tool in the game right here.
\nCrest Guide – All Crest Locations & Effects<\/a>
Crests are a new equippable resource that determine some of Hornet’s skills and abilities. We’ll go over just what they’re for and how to best utilise them.
\nNeedle Upgrades<\/a>
Hornet needs to keep her needle sharp, and she can do that by upgrading her main weapon. It’ll take a while to find, but we’ll be covering where to find those much-needed needle upgrades.
\nSilk Skills & Ancestral Arts (Coming soon!)
With Hornet’s more acrobatic combat style, she has a range of attacks and skills she can learn as she progresses through Pharloom. Here, we’ll go over what these are and how to get them.<\/p>\n

Quests
