Discover the locations of all 4 Bilewater Benches in Hollow Knight: Silksong's Act 2. This guide details how to reach each bench, including tricky areas like The Mists and Organ Exhaust.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Bench 1: Enter the zone from the right side of Sinner’s Road. Follow the pathway right, then up, to double back on yourself left. You should fall down into an area for a bench.
  2. 2
    Bench 2 (Organ Exhaust): Access via the left side of Sinners Road and climb up through The Mists. Enter the Exhaust and take the left pathway to reach the Bench. Alternatively, from the first bench, a breakable wall to the left allows entry to the Organ area. The Mists requires using the Needlevin on glowing butterflies to find the correct exit.
  3. 3
    Bench 3: Located in the very top right of the map. Requires the double jump ability unlocked later in Act 2. Navigate the main vertical chamber in Bilewater upwards, take a left, climb up, and head right. Follow the pathway down then take the bottom right tunnel to find the bench. A breakable wall nearby leads to a shortcut back to the vertical room.
  4. 4
    Bench 4 (Bilehaven Village): This bench is inside the Bilehaven village area. To activate it, you must defeat a fight room that spawns waves of enemies and then a boss. The boss has a simple 'suck' attack; avoid it and its explosive balls. It will enrage and spawn more enemies partway through. Defeating the boss spawns the bench.
  5. 5
    Bench 5 (Trap): Located on the top left of the Bilewater area. This bench is technically a trap but unlocks a shortcut to climb the vertical room, bypassing some bugs.
Tips
  • A bench can be unlocked for 90 Rosary near the Bellway in the bottom right of the zone, close to the smashable wall leading to the Organ sub-area.
  • For the boss guarding Bench 4, consider using the Druid’s tool (obtained from the Berry Picking Wish) to gain more silk from fighting and getting hit, to compensate for parasites.
  • After defeating the boss for Bench 4, you can enter a room to obtain the Seeker’s Soul, an item needed for an end-game Wish.
  • There is a bench in the top right with a destructible wall to the left, providing a shortcut back to the main vertical room.
