All Silk Heart Locations & What They Do

Discover all three Silk Heart locations in Hollow Knight: Silksong! Learn how these powerful tools regenerate Silk to aid your journey through Pharloom's challenges.

Hey there! So you're looking to get your hands on some Silk Hearts in Hollow Knight: Silksong, huh? Smart move! These little beauties are super helpful for keeping your Silk topped up, which you'll definitely need for all those fancy tool uses and movement abilities. Let's break down where you can find all three of them.

All Silkheart locations

You'll be able to find a total of three Silk Hearts scattered throughout your adventure. Here's where to track them down:

1. Bell Beast: This is one of the first bosses you'll encounter, chilling in the Moss Grotto. You'll likely snag this Silk Heart without even realizing how important it is yet!
2. The Unravelled: This boss can be a bit tricky to find if you're not looking. You'll need the Surgeon's Key to access its arena, which is hidden under a trap door in the Whiteward / Underworks region. To get the key, you'll need to head to the top-right room of Whiteward, which itself is accessible using the Clawline skill from the Underworks.
3. Lace: Don't confuse this with an earlier encounter! Lace reappears later in the game. You'll have another chance to face her in The Cradle, usually when you're getting ready to wrap up Act 2.

What do Silkhearts do?

So, what's the big deal with Silk Hearts? Simple: they passively regenerate your Silk over time. For every Silk Heart you have equipped, you gain one bar of Silk regeneration. This is incredibly useful because it means you can get back to using your Silk for tools, or even for those crucial skill-based movement abilities, much faster.

The benefits really shine in places like Mount Fay. If you've tried that section, you know how intense the parkour can be. Running out of Silk mid-jump is a common frustration, but with a Silk Heart, you'll have a much better chance of making it through without getting stuck. It's a real game-changer for keeping your momentum going!

Plus, when you're up against a tough boss, having that passive regeneration means you can afford to use Silk for healing or unleashing powerful skills without worrying too much about depleting your entire resource. It's a great combo, especially when paired with something like the Reaper's Crest, which helps you regain Silk even faster after using it. This means less downtime and more opportunities to attack or defend!
