Just like the first Hollow Knight, Silksong has a bunch of different endings. Each one has specific stuff you need to do to unlock it. There are five endings total, including a secret one.

Weaver Queen

In this one, you take down Grand Mother Silk, the final boss, and use her power. The kingdom gets wrapped up in Hornet’s silk threads, but it’s not exactly a happy ending. The people are stuck under layers of threads. At the end, Hornet’s in the middle of it all, sprouting extra arms that make her look like some kind of spider creature.

Snared Silk

To get this, you need to unlock the Silk and Soul Wayfarer quest, which only happens after finishing all the other quests in the game. This kicks off Act 3. You’ll need to grab these four items:

  • Maiden’s Soul
  • Hermit’s Soul
  • Seeker’s Soul
  • Snare Setter

Once you’ve got them, head to the fight with Grand Mother Silk. Make sure to use the Needolin instead of Bind. After the fight, the Void shows up and tries to swallow Silk, who then tries to drag Hornet down with her. Lace swoops in at the last moment to save Hornet.

Twisted Child

1 Silksong Final Boss No Damage And Cursed Ending

If you get cursed by the Witch during the story and don’t clear it before facing Grand Mother Silk, you’ll hit this ending. It’s the shortest one—just a grim scene of Hornet’s cursed body on the ground with tendrils spreading out. You’ll probably only go for this one to snag the achievement.

Sister of the Void

This is probably the game’s true ending. First, get to Act 3 and beat Grand Mother Silk (same steps as Snared Silk). After the credits, reload your save file. Then, find the Diving Bell Key and dive into the Abyss below the docks. There, you’ll face Lost Lace, the real final boss. After an intense fight, a cutscene shows Hornet and Lace trying to escape the Void. They almost get caught, but the Knight from the first game saves them both. This confirms Silksong is a sequel to Hollow Knight and hints that not every ending is the “true” one.

Passing of the Age

To get started on this achievement, head to the Putrified Ducts in the top-right corner of the world map. There’s a hidden mushroom spot there that kicks off the “Passing of the Age” wish and gives you rough clues about where to find each mushroom. You’ll need to be in Act 3 to access this area since it requires an ability you pick up then.

This is a detailed guide for the Passing of the Age ending.
