How do you unlock the Wall Jump in Hollow Knight Silksong? Hidden in one of the many deep tunnels that comprise the haunted kingdom of Pharloom is a handy ability that lets you use any sheer wall as a jumping platform. It’s an essential technique you’ll need to unlock to access later zones and hidden areas, and one that requires traversing a particularly perilous gauntlet.
While a sequel to Hollow Knight – widely considered to be one of the best PC games ever – Hollow Knight Silksong features a new character, Hornet, who is missing many of the abilities you came to rely on in the first game. Finding them all can be made a little easier by using our Silksong map, but you’ll need to beat some properly tough Silksong bosses before you start upping your arsenal.
How to unlock the Wall Jump in Hollow Knight Silksong
To unlock Wall Jump in Hollow Knight Silksong, you’ll need to head to the Shellwood area of the map. Deep in this area is a hidden shrine following the Sister Splinter fight that you can interact with, granting the Cling Grip ability.
From the Shellwood bench, start by heading left into the nearby room. Take the elevator down to the water and head left again into the next room. Keep left into the next room, this time climbing the shaft by the door to the next, using the pogo ability to bounce off the blooms. At the top, scale the platforms and head into the room on your right.
Keep going in this direction and hop up the shaft, taking the first right into yet another room. Head to the opposite end of this room, up the shaft of the next, and into the first room on your right.
Scale the first few platforms and through the arch to the left, using the blooms to pass over the thorns and into the left-most room. Pass through the long road ahead and take the first couple of steps down, fending off the wall enemy to enter the area on your left, up its shaft, and through the door to the left again. You’ll need to bounce off the blooms to avoid the thorns again.
Make your way through this dangerous room and exit from the top-right. Hop over the gap and you’ll reach your destination – the shrine housing the Cling Grip ability that unlocks Wall Jump.
And that’s how you unlock the Wall Jump ability in Hollow Knight Silksong. Wondering how much longer the game goes on for? Check out our Silksong length guide. Given how far you need to go to unlock the Silksong Double Jump, trust us when we say you’re nowhere near done with this journey.
