Bright Vein in Hollow Knight: Silksong – How to Enter Givreglace and Reach the Elusive Mask Fragment at the Top
One of the advanced platforming sections in Silksong is turning out to be a real headache for players on multiple levels. Discover tips and tricks to breeze through this zone faster than you can say “where’s my cup of tea?”
Givreglace, or “Bright Vein” for those who prefer their zones to sound slightly less mystical, is a joyride of both enjoyment and mild terror. It’s a nostalgic mix of everything beloved and loathed in Mount Fay but with a delightful twist of escalation in difficulty. Perfect for anyone looking to test their sanity!
How to Reach Bright Vein and Its Mask Fragment in Silksong?
For those who discovered this area via a fancy interactive map and are now frantically trying to figure out how to actually access it, sad news awaits. Givreglace is off-limits until Act 3, when the power of “Silk Dash” is gained in the Abyss. Yes, a fancier jump with a dandy attack will smash through the ceiling and unveil the glorious entry to Givreglace.
The recommended route to re-enter this domain during Act 3 resembles a treasure map, but more terrifying and less swashbuckling. Activating the nearest bench is a wise safety precaution, considering the likelihood of meeting an untimely demise in this little dungeon is scandalously high.
The Thrills of Givreglace Climbing
Once gliding into the Givreglace realm, the fun really begins. This zone follows a similar principle to its erstwhile companion, Mount Fay, but cranks up the challenges to “horribly terrifying.” Expect larger monsters that not only loom ominously but also trigger spikes of icy dread around them. Oh joy!
It’s highly advisable to embrace the art of the Climbing Claw, which grants the ability to cling indefinitely to a vertical wall. This gives a perfect chance to catch one’s breath and adjust the position, rather akin to yoga for aspiring insect warriors. Such comfort makes a monstrous difference in the platforming segments, where panic and chaos usually reign supreme.
The Heavy Ring also stands out as a potential buddy on this icy escapade, helping to bounce off those hefty enemies without feeling like a featherweight boxer facing a sumo wrestler.
Aim for the top of the baddies with the grappling hook, and voilà, propelling upwards will be an instant success! The chances of being skewered by spikes diminish significantly, allowing for a bit of downward attack action for that perfect bounce. The only goal here? Reaching the pinnacle of this icy horror show—nothing else matters.
Your Spoils of War
For anyone brave enough to scale the heights of Givreglace, the reward lies in the form of one of the most elusive Mask Fragments in the game. Yes, all that effort to channel your inner mountaineer will finally pay off!
