The latest installment of this adventure series raises the stakes with formidable foes that withstand more attacks. Strengthening your primary tool demands persistence and overcoming specific challenges.
Boosting your Needle’s effectiveness in Hollow Knight: Silksong

Locate the expert craftsbug Plinney in Bellhart after dismantling Widow’s web-bound curse. Prior access requires scaling Shellwood’s heights to defeat Sister Splinter and obtain crucial mobility enhancements.

Post-victory, ascend to Bellhart’s elevated merchant quarter identifiable by needle emblems. Engage Plinney and confirm weapon enhancement for immediate damage amplification through craftbug ingenuity.

This upgrade substantially increases combat efficiency – preliminary estimates suggest approximately 20% damage improvement. Enemies now fall faster, often requiring fewer strikes.
Advanced upgrades become available through optional tasks like retrieving special components from Citadel’s upper regions. Completion unlocks further enhancements, though specific resource locations require additional exploration.
