Silksong Spool Fragments: A Chaotic Quest for Threads of Triumph!
Ah, the illustrious world of Silksong—where jumping isn’t just encouraged; it’s practically a way of life. In an environment filled with lurking dangers, it’s essential to boost that silk thread supply. Think of it as your health insurance in a land where instant death can come from an unexpected sneeze. This guide reveals the secrets behind all those elusive Spool Fragments, detailing their whereabouts and the powers needed to snag them without going bananas. Sit back, relax, and prepare for a treasure hunt worthy of Indiana Jones.
While Spool Fragments may not have the flashy allure of Mask Fragments, they are the unsung heroes of Silksong. Collect all 18 Spool Fragments and double that precious silk reserve. Yes, that means healing twice in a row—what a dream! Or, picture unleashing a nasty spell while still having the chance to lick your wounds later. And guess what? Finding all of them is crucial if a shiny completion trophy means anything. Enjoy scouring into every dark corner of this expansive game; some fragments are better hidden than a squirrel in winter.
To gather each Spool, two pieces are needed to create a luscious silk bar. But heads up: once a character bites the dust, the extra silk becomes as inaccessible as a secret club that isn’t serving pastries. Attack your latest cocoon spawn to regain that thread, though if there’s a chain of unfortunate demises, the previous cocoon is likely doing its own form of disappearing act. Voilà—yet another silk bar full of possibilities.
The Treasure Map: Where to Find Those Suave Spool Fragments
All fragments are listed with a logical approach, considering their order of acquisition based on game progress (so, no major spoilers, no worries!). Note, however, that some of those shiny baubles in the early game can’t be snagged until well into the story. It’s like being told there’s cake at a party, only to find the host at the last minute decided gluten was a fad.
- Bone Chasm: Dazed and confused? That’s normal. Activate the lever at the top, and drop down into the depths below. Traverse along the cliffside path to discover the elevator to the village. Venturing right will guide the adventurer to a lovely upward passage leading to the elusive fragment.
- Deep Quays: Activate the lever on the edge of the lava room. Then, proceed to leap like a caffeinated rabbit to reach the ledge with the fragment.
- Clochelle: Ah, a sigh of relief! One of the three Spool Fragments can be purchased right from a merchant for a mere 270 Pearls after completing a favor to locate the Lost Courier.
- Alta’s Nest: After defeating the Widow and acquiring the mesmerizing power of music, set off on an expedition in the Mossy Cave from the game’s start. There, in an adjacent chamber, the coveted fragment lies in waiting.
- Dreadvale: On a first engagement in this area, passages to the fragment remain under lock and key. It lurks above a ledge near the top of a massive vertical space, requiring Wall jump power to snag.
- Eroded Steps: Unearthed by the Master of Fleas after gathering at least 14 total Fleas. This delightful character will request a shuffling of their flea caravan, so run that little obstacle course outside the Great Door of the Citadel.
- Mechanical Core: After triumphing over the mechanical duo boss, investigate this gear-filled zone. Search for a door at the bottom right corner of the main hall, venture through two rooms, engage in an epic battle with a Mechanical Ball, and find the fragment nestled at the end of the ventilation ducts after hitting a lever.
- White Wing: Accessing the elevator down into the zone requires the White Key. Beware! This spot conceals the first spool fragment below the elevator’s housing; inaccessible when the elevator is down.
- A nifty trick to gather it involves quitting the game or taking a tumble in battle when the elevator descends. This will conveniently spawn the player back at the top bank. Press the button to summon the contraption before leaping into the void. Aim for one of the side doors in the shaft before the elevator blocks the escape route. Once past that ascent, take a deep dive into the elevator shaft to reach the depths below.
- Foundry: Reaching this fragment requires accessing the second part of the Foundry via White Wing, heading rightward.
- Foundry Again: Another fragment awaits at the back left corner of this immense pit. Bash through the left wall for your victory.
- Deep Quays: This fragment is one of the most challenging to reach. A simple key is required for access to this segment of the Deep Quays, along with a minimum of Grapple power; having Double Jump is also a wise investment. Dive rightward in the enormous magma-filled room, causing the right wall to meet its demise. Ascend through tunnels of lava and spikes for that glorious prize.
- Mount Fay: Climb up the section to the right upon entry to uncover a spool nestled in an icy cell.
- White Wing: Encounter Sherma in the Citadel baths. Fulfill all of the Songwish lady’s requests, especially those involving weaponry and clothing collection, while regularly chatting with Sherma. At some point, she will vanish, triggering the Remedy wish for the wounded on the board.
- Sherma can be found in the second section of White Wing. Enter the door to the left after the furnace section. Prepare for a toughing tussle against several monsters defending this critter with a heart of gold; rewards will follow.
- Big Portal: While hanging out on top of the shift in the main room, this fragment sits waiting to be claimed. Theoretically, it can be reached by expertly maneuvering through the toggles. But why stress when engaging the area with Grapple and Double Jump is delightful?
- Grand Galleries: Yet again, Double Jump is a must. As players reach the main tower of the Grand Galleries, aim to scale the roof. Expect to dispatch several infuriating flying enemies while bouncing off the large wheels. The spool fragment awaits, literally lit up in the lamp illuminating the uppermost floor.
- Citadel – Choir Nooks: Once the Wish of the Traveling Merchant is fulfilled, continue to grant all wishes from the board. Jubilana will eventually disappear, and the Lost Merchant wish will require a quest to find her. Upon successful retrieval, she will offer new goods, including a Spool fragment priced at 500 Pearls.
- Memorium: Double Jump is also needed here for entry. Once inside the upper halls of Memorium, seek a passage leading to the left section of the enclosures. That lovely fragment is hiding there, waiting to be claimed.
- Eroded Steps: Use the Double Jump to scale Grindle’s hideout high above the zone. He’ll sell his Spool Fragment for a staggering 680 Pearls, the little rascal!
