Navigate Hunter's March in Hollow Knight: Silksong with our guide. Discover bench locations, walkthrough tips, and strategies for overcoming challenging platforming and enemies.
Walkthrough
- 1Entering Hunter's March: From The Marrow, head east and take the southeast exit to find a lift. Follow the passage north, defeat the Skarrgard, and exit right to enter Hunter's March.
- 2Reaching the First Ledge: After defeating the Skarrgard, exit right. Use a jump+down+attack on the red shell to cross the spike pit. Continue right, defeat the red ant enemy, and bounce off three red shells to reach high ground.
- 3Ascending to the Flea: Continue up and left, defeat another ant. Ascend six shells, alternating directions, while avoiding a flying foe. Reach the ledge above and to the right.
- 4Free the Flea: Bounce off a shell to the upper left to reach a ledge. Bounce off two more shells above, dealing with another flying enemy. Use three more shells to cross spikes and find the caged flea (part of The Lost Fleas quest).
- 5Proceeding Further: Backtrack down and left, then down and right. Jump up and right to bait and defeat a flying critter. Use three more red shells to ascend to a ledge above and to the right. Exit right.
- 6Encountering New Foes and Items: In the third screen, beware of Spear Skarrs and pressure plates triggering spike traps. Bounce off shells to the upper right, then jump up and left to defeat a red ant and get a Rosary Cache.
- 7Finding the Rosary Necklace: Continue right along the ledge to encounter a Spear Skarr. Drop down and right to find a Skarr Stalker. Bounce off two shells to the right of the first Spear Skarr to find a Rosary Necklace. Be wary of pressure plates and swinging spike traps. Exit right.
- 8Combat Arena and Map: Bounce across shells to enter a chamber. Defeat a Spear Skarr, then Shakra will aid you against other Skarr foes. After defeating them, talk to Shakra to buy the Hunter's March map for 70 Rosary beads.
