If you enjoyed the original installment, you’ll likely find Hollow Knight: Silksong to be equally captivating. This Metroidvania title incorporates key Soulslike components, primarily centered around melee-based combat utilizing a sharp weapon. However, your arsenal isn’t limited to close-quarters slashing; you’ll also have the ability to wield various ranged weapons throughout your journey.
Many ranged weapons, including the valuable Threefold Pin Throwing Daggers, are strategically hidden within the game world. It’s essential to explore thoroughly, as some of these items can easily be overlooked if you’re not aware of their locations. For those needing assistance, I’ve prepared a detailed guide to help you secure the Threefold Pin, ensuring you have the edge against foes from a safe distance.
Locating the Threefold Pin
To find the Threefold Pins, your adventure will take you to Greymoor—a location that serves as a skill check during Act 1 of Silksong. You will encounter a formidable boss named Moorwing, so prepare yourself adequately for this challenge.
Your journey begins by progressing to the right until you encounter a locked gate. Do not be alarmed; instead, drop into the water below and swim to the opposite side. Once there, backtrack to the gate, activate the lever, and unlock it for future visits.
Next, enter the building indicated by the “Enter”prompt.
Upon entering, ascend to the top of the structure, where you’ll face a challenging sequence of battles against waves of birds. The encounter consists of five rounds as detailed below:
- Round One: A hefty bird accompanied by a smaller flying counterpart armed with throwing daggers.
- Round Two: Two nimble flying birds.
- Round Three: A tall bird wielding a needle, accompanied by a small flying bird.
- Round Four: Three small flying birds.
- Round Five: A returning rotund bird with throwing daggers paired with a tall bird wielding a needle.
It’s worth noting that this bird gauntlet can be quite strenuous. Fortunately, you previously passed a rest stop with a cartographer, allowing for a more manageable return should you need to regroup during the fight.
Once you emerge victorious, a balloon will spawn in the center of the arena. Utilize your downward diagonal slash to bounce upward, activating the lever at the room’s apex.
After this, exit the building.
Outside, you’ll discover several newly inflated balloons, creating pathways leading upwards. Use the left balloons and employ your diagonal slash to ascend, landing on safety platforms along the way to mitigate any potential falls.
It’s advisable to clear out the surrounding birds to avoid a frustrating swarm while you navigate higher.
You’ll eventually arrive at a location on the left side of the room, as illustrated in the previous map. Activate the lever on the elevated platform to unlock the gate below. Continue your ascent via the floating balloons, being wary of the surrounding spikes and remaining vigilant against any aggressive birds.
Progress to the topmost section of the area. From there, navigate right, drop down, and float to the far right to reach another platform defended by a tall bird. Defeat this enemy for safety, then venture even further to the map’s edge, where a hidden doorway leads to a secret chamber containing rosaries and the coveted Threefold Pin.
Utilizing the Threefold Pin
The Threefold Pin accommodates into the red section of your crest loadout, providing you with ten daggers per session—this count replenishes to ten each time you rest at a bench.
To deploy the Threefold Pin, press up on the d-pad in conjunction with R1 (or your equivalent button) to swiftly launch a trio of daggers. This action mirrors the dagger ability of the rotund bird but with smaller projectiles.
This ranged option is advantageous for strategically whittling down enemy health while maintaining a safe distance. However, be mindful that each use of the Threefold Pin consumes four shell shards, which are deducted when you rest at a bench to replenish your supply.
