Silksong Trophy Guide: How to Unlock All Achievements

Hollow Knight: Silksong features 52 achievements and 53 trophies that test every corner of your skills, patience, and curiosity. Some unlock naturally as you explore Pharloom, while others demand perfection — such as completing the game in Steel Soul Mode or under five hours. If your goal is the ultimate Platinum Trophy, “Pharloom’s Heart”, this guide provides a clear path, covering strategies, missables, and the complete trophy list.

Best Order to Unlock Every Trophy

Trying to unlock everything in one run is nearly impossible. Conflicting requirements — like finishing under 5 hours while also collecting 100% — make it smarter to split your progress across three dedicated playthroughs:

1. Run 1 – The Explorer’s Climb
   • Enjoy the world at your own pace. Learn enemy patterns, gather upgrades, and focus on unlocking the two crucial missable trophies (Pharloom’s Welcome and Twisted Child).
2. Run 2 – The Weaver’s Marathon
   • Aim for 100% completion under 30 hours. Rescue all 30 lost Fleas, collect every Tool and Silk Skill, buy all maps, and complete Wish quests. With your first run’s experience, this pace is achievable.
3. Run 3 – The Steel Soul Sprint
   • Tackle the most difficult challenges: completing the game in Steel Soul Mode (permadeath) and earning the Speedrunner trophy by finishing in under five hours. This final run is all about mastery.

Silksong Permanently Missable Trophies

There are only two trophies that can permanently lock you out of Platinum if missed, plus one that’s highly grind-sensitive:

• Pharloom’s Welcome – Defeat Lace in the Deep Docks before advancing too far in the story.
• Twisted Child – Defeat Grand Mother Silk while cursed. The curse comes from Greyroot in Shellwood. Cure it early and you lose your chance.
• True Hunter – Technically not missable, but extremely time-consuming since you must master every journal entry. If you skip enemies early, it becomes much harder later.

Types of Trophies in Silksong

Silksong’s trophies can be grouped into a few main categories, making it easier to plan.

1. Progression & Power-Up Trophies

These unlock as you strengthen Hornet:

• Collect all Tools (Arsenal).
• Bind every Silk Skill (Woven).
• Gather Mask Shards, Spool Fragments, and Silk Hearts for health and resource upgrades.
• Earn Crests for special abilities (Consumed).

2. Exploration & Quest Trophies

Pharloom is vast, and exploring it thoroughly nets several achievements:

• Unlock all Bellways (Connected) and Ventrica Stations (Transported).
• Rescue 30 lost Fleas (Fleafriend).
• Acquire maps of all 28 areas (Cartographer).
• Complete Wishes for NPCs like Shakra (Trail’s End) and Nuu (Keen Hunter, True Hunter).

3. Boss Trophies

From early encounters like the Bell Beast (Liberated) to optional nightmares like Lost Lace (Sister of the Void), most bosses award trophies. Keep track of unique fights such as:

• Last Judge, Cogwork Dancers, Widow, Trobbio, Grand Gourmand, and Lost Garmond.
• Hidden battles tied to story forks and quests, including Phantom, Pinstress, Skarrsinger Karmelita, and Crust King Khann.

4. Hidden Endings & Special Challenges

Silksong has multiple endings and alternate outcomes:

• Weaver Queen / Snared Silk / Twisted Child – Three different outcomes of the Grand Mother Silk battle.
• Sister of the Void – Defeat Lost Lace for the true ending.
• Passing of the Age – Complete the Herald’s wishline.
• Remembrance – Claim the Everbloom from memory.

5. Mastery Trophies

The toughest set for completionists:

• Completion – Reach 100%.
• Speedrunner – Finish in under 5 hours.
• Speed Completion – 100% completion under 30 hours.
• Steel Soul – Beat the game in permadeath mode.
• Steel Heart – Get 100% in Steel Soul.
