The expansive universe of Hollow Knight: Silksong is filled with adventure and exploration. However, without your trusty compass tool, players might find themselves disoriented in the vast expanse of Pharloom.
During your journey, you’ll encounter a formidable character known as the Bell Beast in the Marrow region. Defeating her in a contest will not only earn you her respect but also grant you a loyal companion to guide you throughout Pharloom’s sprawling landscapes.
This guide will take you through all 12 stations you can unlock, enabling you to fast travel effortlessly and earn that rewarding achievement along the way.
1. Bone Bottom
This station becomes accessible once you’ve triumphed over the Bell Beast. Be mindful to carry enough Rosaries, as accessing this station may cost you up to 120 beads!
2. The Marrow
Typically the second station you’ll come across, this is the first one you can actively utilize after battling the Bell Beast. Those familiar with the Massive Moss Charger from the previous Hollow Knight title should find this confrontation manageable. Yet, it’s worth noting that this station may be one of the least beneficial, as the Marrow itself lacks significant activities.
3. Deep Docks
Next is the Deep Docks station, located early in your exploration. This station serves as an excellent gateway for traversing up through Hunter’s March or exploring the surprisingly expansive Deep Docks area. Keep an eye on the left wall, as there may be hidden treasures waiting to be discovered!
4. Far Fields
While the Far Fields might seem modest at first, it opens up tremendously as you progress, much like the Deep Docks. To find specific stations, look for the distinguishing Bellway sign shown below.
This station is situated within the main vertical column that runs through the center of the Far Fields, proving invaluable access to regions like Greymoor and the eastern Deep Docks.
5. Greymoor
Next, you’ll reach the station near the Halfway Home in Greymoor, which is particularly useful for quests such as Crawbug Clearing or heading toward Sinner’s Road. To find it, venture west through Halfway Home, past the tall structure, down the cliff, and backtrack to discover a hidden entrance near the station.
6. Bellhart
Bellhart features a secret entrance on the far right, leading to the Bellhart tunnels. Within these tunnels, you can uncover silver bells and interact with an NPC, whom you will revisit later in your adventure.
7. Shellwood
As a central hub leading to a variety of biomes, the Shellwood Bellway is incredibly handy. Use this station to navigate toward the Blasted Steps, face off against bosses like Sister Splinter, or explore the depths of the Wormways.
This station is located atop a large vertical platforming area, positioned far to the west where you can enhance your pogoing skills.
8. Blasted Steps
Initially deemed somewhat redundant, the Blasted Steps station is more valuable than it seems, primarily serving as a rest point for players heading back to battle the Last Judge. However, as you venture further, you’ll find that this station becomes indispensable as the area expands into Act 3 and provides access to locations like The Sands of Karak and The Grand Gate.
9. The Slab
To reach The Slab, you’ll need to get captured by an enemy wielding a large cage, often found in regions like Sinner’s Road and the upper sections of the Deep Docks. After clearing the area and recovering your items, this station becomes not only helpful for returning to the slab but also crucial for accessing Mount Fay and western parts of the Citadel.
10. Grand Bellway
Ah, the Grand Bellway — likely to be your most frequented station throughout Hollow Knight: Silksong. The Citadel’s extensive map includes its own sub-areas, complemented by a unique travel system featuring Ventrica stations. Conveniently located near a bench and a Ventrica fast travel point, this station facilitates seamless navigation to your desired destinations.
Additionally, if you wish to delve into the Whispering Vaults, Underworks, or Bilewater’s Exhaust Organ, this station’s shortcuts will prove invaluable as they unlock later in the game.
11. Bilewater
Often deemed the most tedious domain in Silksong, Bilewater can be quite reminiscent of a labyrinth. Upon discovering the Bellway station in this region, you might feel compelled to leave immediately. However, returning is essential, especially after encountering the Bell Beast, which brings much-needed relief.
This station is rather limited in utility, primarily directing you into Bilewater or facilitating treks through the challenging Mist area.
12. Putrified Ducts
The final station you will discover necessitates the Faydown Cloak and all prior collectibles. By the time you arrive here, you’ll likely be nearing the conclusion of the game. Accessing the Putrified Ducts is possible by progressing up from Bilewater after defeating Groal the Great or heading east from the Memorium area in the Citadel.
Eventually, this location will become the thriving hub for the Flea Caravan, allowing you to refill your Flea Brew as frequently as you’d like!
