100% Completion Checklist for Hollow Knight: Silksong – What’s Needed and What to Collect?

Welcome to the pixelated underworld of Silksong, a sprawling Metroidvania that promises adventure, intrigue, and a pile of collectibles that could rival the hoarders on TV. For those who aren’t content with just casually strolling through, the notorious 100% completion challenge waits like a tantalizing dessert at the end of a long buffet. Get ready to dive deep, because achieving this feat without a map (and perhaps some caffeine) is about as fun as a root canal.

The game is vast and complex—imagine trying to learn the tango while juggling flaming swords. Not a task everyone can manage without a little help. So, gather around, brave adventurers; this guide contains wisdom beyond your wildest imagination (or at least a couple of lists to help out).

Checklist of All Collectibles for Achieving 100% in Hollow Knight: Silksong

A detailed list of every collectible seems like an impossible feat, but fear not! Here’s a handy little cheat sheet that tells what to snatch before moving on to the next act. To avoid missing anything, ensure all wishes are fulfilled, and all unique items from traders are collected. Easy-peasy, right?

• 11 Powers (e.g., Dash, Double Jump, Grapple)
• 7 Emblems, counting the one you start with (e.g., Reaper)
• 30 Fleas…yes, you read that right!
• 20 Mask Fragments (remember, they don’t grow on trees)
• 18 Recoil Fragments—no, they don’t come with a safety manual
• 20 Memory Medallions (and actually use them, please)
• 3 Silk Hearts (e.g., Exfiltrated)
• 6 Silk Skills (who doesn’t want to throw silky darts?)
• 57 Tools (e.g., Druid Eye or Long Claw, because who doesn’t need extra limbs?)
• 4 Needle Sharpenings, including 3 with pale oils (the beauty industry calls)
• Get Eva’s upgrades and merge with her (hopefully not in a weird way)
• 4 Crafting Kits—yes, there’s a DIY segment
• 4 Toolbags, because bags can be both stylish and practical!

What Doesn’t Count Towards the 100% in Silksong

Yes, there are specific items that may leave players scratching their heads in confusion. Fret not, dear gamers; worry is only for people who are unprepared!

Surprisingly, bosses don’t make the cut for the coveted 100% completion. Those scary big baddies are mostly there for the dramatic flair and a few quirky collectibles. The final boss? He’s not included either, though beating him is a boring requirement for finishing the game.

• Completing the Hunter’s Journal (or Bestiary) is not included. Who knew making a scrapbook could be so unimportant?
• Deliveries that don’t serve as prerequisites for significant wishes? Totally optional.
• Forget about the Material Database; it’s not required to be a well-rounded pixel collector.
• Relics, Psalms, and Memories are collectibles but not part of the mandatory list, much to their dismay.
• Shell packs and necklaces? Nope, not your buddies for this milestone.
• Housing items such as the SPA or Office gadgets aren’t on the list of must-haves, unless there’s a hidden spa achievement somewhere.

Tracking Progress Towards 100%

Tracking the journey toward 100% completion is simpler than trying to explain modern art to a toddler. The game provides a snazzy tool to keep tabs on progress in real-time. Players can see their percentage in the menu and on the save file. However, a few conditions must be met to reveal the glorious number:

• Fulfill every Wish of Clockwell until presented with the Key to your own Bellhouse. It’s quite a beautiful key, really.
• Drop 380 Pearls to procure the Office from Clockwell’s merchant. This involves extensive pearl mining or possibly a lot of lost chips!

• Acquire the Long View at the end of the corridor in the bottom right of the Abyss. Installing it in the office will automatically display your progress. Because who doesn’t like a window to their progress?
