Players initiate their journey in Silksong’s Moss Grotto, the starting zone following a daring escape. This lush environment serves as a training ground to acclimate to Hornet’s combat mechanics and movement before confronting hostile fauna. Nestled within lies your inaugural boss encounter.
Navigating Moss Grotto
Upon entering the grotto, immediately move leftward to start ascending. Obstacles like vines block progress initially – slash through them to clear a path. Continue westward past defenseless grubs toward an aquatic section dotted with stepping stones. Hornet can safely traverse shallow waters, allowing exploration of submerged bone structures.
Beneath a skeletal archway lies concealed passage – descend through tight spaces to unlock a vital shortcut. Return to the main route and scale vertical platforms guarded by aerial predators. These winged foes employ dive-bomb tactics requiring evasive jumps.
Foraging for Resources
Eastern progression reveals nutrient-rich clusters worth harvesting. Defeat hostile insects patrolling elevated walkways to access dangling fruit. Strike these organic bundles to collect vital Mossberries, essential for later upgrades.
Crafting Material Acquisition
Southwest navigation reveals glowing artifacts suspended over chasms. Carefully descend to claim the Frayed Rosary String, crucial for equipment enhancements. Return to obstructed paths requiring future abilities and ascend through rotating spike adversaries.
Chapel Ascent Preparation
Western routes lead to crumbling religious structures. Activate restoration benches to preserve progress before confronting the area guardian. Vertical exploration in chapel ruins reveals additional Mossberry clusters accessible post-victory.
Boss Confrontation Strategy
The Moss Mother battle demands aerial assaults. Time downward thrusts during her charging sequences while monitoring environmental hazards. Ceiling collapses marked by particle effects create temporary danger zones – reposition constantly. Manage supplementary enemies summoned during phase transitions while maintaining offensive pressure.
Victory grants access to surface egress via hanging chains. Subsequent areas promise greater challenges as Hornet’s quest unfolds beyond the cavernous nursery.
