Discover the location of the Silkspeed Anklets in Hollow Knight: Silksong! Learn the steps to defeat bosses, unlock abilities, and solve the light puzzle to get this speed-boosting tool.

Alright, so you're looking for the Silkspeed Anklets, huh? These bad boys will really boost your running speed, which is super handy for certain challenges. But first, you've gotta do some prep work. Don't worry, I'll walk you through it step-by-step!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Prerequisites: First things first, you need to progress through the story until you defeat the boss named Widow. She's in Bellhart. To even get to Bellhart, you'll have to beat Moorwing. And before Moorwing, you'll need to defeat Sister Splinter in Shellwood. After beating Sister Splinter, you'll unlock the Cling Grip ability. This is crucial because it lets you reach Widow.
  2. 2
    Unlocking Needolin: Once you finally take down Widow, you'll get another ability called Needolin. This lets you play music with your needle weapon by holding Triangle/Y/X. This is super important because certain doors in the game only open when you play this tune.
  3. 3
    Finding the Needolin Door: With Needolin in hand, make your way back to the Far Fields. Remember where you first found the Seamstress? Head to that general area, but instead of going into her hut, look for a hidden wall on the right side. You'll need to break through some explosive rocks to get past it. Keep going right until you reach a room with rings floating in the air – you'll need the Clawline ability for this part. In this room, go all the way to the right. You should spot a Needolin door. Play your tune to open it!
  4. 4
    Entering Weavenest Cindril: Inside the Needolin door, you'll find the Weavenest Cindril area. There's a bench here, so feel free to save your game and take a breather.
  5. 5
    The Light Puzzle: Continue heading right. You'll start noticing things lighting up in the background. This is the puzzle! The trick is to sprint past these lights. As you run, more lights will appear. You need to start from one end and sprint all the way to the other side. If you do it correctly, all the lights will stay lit, and a pedestal will rise from the ground on the far side.
  6. 6
    Claiming the Anklets: The pedestal will be holding your prize: the **Silkspeed Anklets**! Grab them and enjoy the increased running speed.

Silkspeed Anklets Use:

  • These are a yellow tool that significantly increases your running speed.
  • The downside is that using them constantly drains your silk.
  • They're particularly useful for Delivery Wishes and racing challenges.
Tips
  • The puzzle requires precise sprinting. Make sure you're not stopping or slowing down too much between lights.
  • If you combine the Silkspeed Anklets with the Flea Dew tool, you can apparently max out your reading, which causes an altar to retract and open a room beneath it. (Thanks to Ayce47 for this tip!)
