Eva Hollow Knight Silksong: How to Upgrade Emblems and Get the Sylphsong
In the whimsical world of Hollow Knight: Silksong, there exists a character of utmost importance: an enigma named Eva. Think of her as the fairy godmother of emblems, only without the wand and sparkles. She’s here to help transform ordinary tokens into legendary powers. This guide dives deep into the mysterious existence of Eva, where to find her lair, and how to enhance your gameplay like a pro—because why not? Everyone wants to be that one player whose friends are all like, “How does that player have all the good stuff?”
Where’s This Elusive Eva Hiding?
Picture this: Eva lives in a secret hideout known as the Tisse-Nid d’Alta, which casually resides beneath the Gouffre d’Os within the Verdant Cave. Getting to her requires mastering the melodious tune of the Lyre, which becomes available after bravely defeating the Widow at the Tinkle Bell. Once the lovely melody is confidently crooned in front of a rather suspicious sealed door, it magically swings open, ushering the player into Eva’s lair. It’s like a key for the secret club no one knew about—the “cool kids” of the game world, if you will.
After that satisfying door creak, it’s time to descend via an elevator. Yes, you heard right—no climbing ladders or engaging in sweaty parkour here! Take a right upon reaching the ground level, and voila! You enter the realm of Eva, where she will remain as invisible as a magic trick gone wrong. But worry not! Your first interaction will be filled with philosophical mumbo jumbo about “changing nature.” No, it’s not a conversation about diets; it’s all about leveling up those emblems with some good ol’ souvenirs—tokens, not fridge magnets.
Time to Get Upgrades, Baby!
Each emblem comes with colorful slots in red, blue, or yellow. These are not just decoration, but prime real estate for customization. Unlocking these slots through those nifty little souvenir tokens is essential if one wishes to fully unleash their combat prowess. Eva, in her elusive wisdom, will offer upgrades—but only if the conditions are just right, like some cosmic alignment or perhaps just a few tokens. Here’s what could be on the upgrade menu:
- Hunter’s Emblem Upgrade 1: Get this before even taking the second sip of your coffee, as it’s available right from that first Eva rendezvous.
- Vesticron with a Yellow Slot: Because who doesn’t love a trendy color upgrade? Only available after unlocking all the slots of an emblem.
- Vesticron with a Blue Slot: This shiny upgrade hinges on using six souvenir tokens. Yes, six—this is not a charity.
- Hunter’s Emblem Upgrade 2: Available after hawking twelve tokens to Eva. She’s not cheap!
- Sylphsong Ability: The grand prize obtained with seventeen tokens and six emblems. One must embark on the “Curse of the Parasite” quest for this gem, which allows a complete restoration of silk just by sitting on a bench. Talk about a cozy deal!
At first glance, it may seem like some upgrades are about as useful as a chocolate teapot. However, every token is a step toward enhancing emblems and crafting new tactical setups. So, do not hesitate—spend those souvenirs like confetti at a parade! And make a point to pop back and see Eva regularly. After all, she’s got secrets, and who doesn’t love a good mystery?
