This walkthrough will guide the player through The Threadspun Town quest in the Haunted Bellhart area of Hollow Knight: Silksong.
Step 1: Get maps of Bellhart and Shellwood
To begin The Threadspun Town quest, set out from the lower-left section of Bellhart. From there, continue westward, crossing the waters to enter Shellwood.
Once inside, make your way upward and follow the winding path until you reach the western edge of Shellwood. Here, you’ll find the merchant Shakra, who sells maps of both Shellwood and Bellhart.
Step 2: Defeat “Sister Splinter” Boss
After purchasing the map, continue left from the NPC Shakra and take the first available path upward. Use the provided map to locate the area where the Sister Splinter boss is located. Once you reach the location, defeat Sister Splinter to progress further.
Step 3: Get the cling grip ability
Next, you’ll need to obtain the Cling Grip ability. This ability is located at the top of Shellwood, and its exact position is shown in the image above. You need to progress left after defeating “Sister Splinter” Boss and then move upward to reach the top of the Shellwood.
Step 4: Reach Bellhart
Starting from the spot where you obtained the Cling Grip ability, head eastward and continue along the path until you arrive back in Bellhart.
Step 5: Defeat “Widow” Boss
In this section, you’ll encounter two types of enemies. Small creatures crawl along the ground and walls, while the larger creatures move up and down through vertical passages. Progress toward the right side until you reach the location where you need to jump down. Wait for the enemy to rise out of the way, then carefully drop onto the ledge to the right. Break through the bell wall and drop further into the pit.
At the bottom, move left and you’ll find another vertical path blocked by an enemy. Carefully observe its movement, then move behind it and slip into the left opening.
There are actually two bigger enemies in this vertical path. When both enemies move away, time your drop carefully and slip into another small gap on the left side. Break the wall within this passage and follow the path downward.
From here, continue moving right and drop down once more, and you’ll soon arrive at the boss arena.
