The Bellhart area in Hollow Knight: Silksong is featured in a secondary quest titled The Threadspun Town. Initially, it is presented as the Haunted Bellhart, enveloped in an eerie atmosphere that hints at its troubled past.
This town has lost its essence, with its bug inhabitants caught in a stasis, leaving you as the lone hero poised to restore its former glory. To liberate Bellhart, various tasks await you, including battling formidable bosses along your journey.
If you’re struggling to navigate through these challenges, this comprehensive guide will assist you in locating Bellhart, arming yourself against the ominous forces, and navigating the perilous web of threats that lie ahead.
Locating The Haunted Bellhart
To reach the Haunted Bellhart, your first step involves conquering the boss known as Moorwing and making your escape from Greymoor. For assistance, follow our detailed guide that will help you both defeat this boss and navigate through Greymoor successfully.
Upon defeating Moorwing, venture to the left from the boss room to discover the Haunted Bellhart. However, saving the town requires certain tools that you can acquire by overcoming additional bosses and securing new equipment.
Next, progress through Shellwood, located directly left of Bellhart, where an elevator awaits to elevate your journey.
Vanquish Sister Splinter and Acquire the Cling Grip
As you ascend to the upper area, unlock a convenient rest bench that will make future runs to the bosses much more manageable.
After the lift, traverse to the right edge of the room, noting an out-of-reach platform. You’ll eventually access it, so continue on.
Take the leftward path, employing a downward slash to navigate across the flowers. The second section requires more finesse and the use of the Drifter’s Cloak, which you can obtain by finishing the Seamstress quest in Far Fields.
Prepare yourself for a battle with Sister Splinter, who awaits in the next chamber. If you encounter difficulty, refer to our expertly crafted guide for strategies.
Upon her defeat, advance beyond her chamber to collect the Cling Grip, essential for your mission to save Bellhart.
Investigate Bellhart’s Source of Corruption
Return to the previously inaccessible wall, now utilizing the Cling Grip to reach the upper platform. Break through the bells with your needle and enter the following area.
You will first encounter aggressive enemies adorned with bells on their heads. Dispatch them swiftly while dodging their attacks. After clearing the area, move forward.
As you break through the next barrier, a larger version of the bell-headed foes will block your path. They move in predictable patterns, so defeat them with ease.
Advance by slicing at their vulnerable undersides, continuing up the wall while remaining wary of a smaller bell enemy dropping down.
Leap across the gap, avoiding falling bells that could inflict damage, and rescue the flea entangled in the chaos. This flea is part of the ongoing Lost Flea quest, so be sure to save it.
Head back to the beginning, opting to go downward instead of upward. Utilize the Drifter’s Cloak to dodge spikes at the bottom, and break through the next barrier.
Forge a Path to Widow
As you delve deeper, be on the lookout for more large, patrolling bells. Use the Cling Grip to descend carefully, maintaining awareness of your surroundings. Optionally, sneak into the left wall to take out an enemy from above.
Proceed down on the right side, avoiding any spikes in your path. Eliminate the smaller bell enemies, then continue right, utilizing the Cling Grip to climb the wall.
This alcove contains some rosaries—collect them before making your way back. Climb back up to the previous location, paying attention to gaps on the left and force your way through. Watch for falling bells as you make your descent.
Once you breach this next area, you’ll find the route to the upcoming boss fight against Widow easier to navigate. Traverse cautiously, as enemies lie in wait on some platforms. Engage or evade them, while also being mindful of spike pits below.
After breaking through to the next screen, you’ll find yourself at the rest bench you unlocked earlier. By employing the Cling Grip, you can easily travel from this bench to the path leading towards Widow.
Finally, return to that previously ignored gap, and descend through it. Follow the path down until you reach Widow’s lair. Be prepared for a challenging confrontation, as she employs diverse attacks; studying our guide will be crucial for your success against her.
Rescue Bellhart
Defeating Widow rewards you with the Needolin art. You will find yourself in a surreal, web-filled labyrinth. Use the Cling Grip to ascend to the top, where you can unlock the door with your new skill.
Advance right, climbing the web and employing a combination of Cling Grip and Drifter’s Cloak to navigate the area. Upon reaching the summit, head left and examine the ground below.
This will initiate a cutscene where Hornet reawakens before a massive web. Utilize the Needolin to finally dissolve the curse plaguing Bellhart, granting you access to a wealth of shops and new NPCs. You can even enhance Hornet’s Needle by visiting Pinmaster Plinney.
