🎮 Silksong - Ultimate Silksong Platinum Walkthrough Part 10 - 100% Completion Guide & Pro Strategies

Based on segments [0:06 - 18:24] from the original content

Alright, let’s get into it. We’re trapped in the Underworks, a sprawling sewer system beneath the Citadel. Think Blighttown, but with more steam vents and mechanical monstrosities. Our main goal is to escape, but this is a 100% Completion Guide, so we’re grabbing everything along the way.

A quick heads-up about the benches in this area: many of them are traps. You pay to use them, and they vanish after you stand up.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• 💡 Save Your Rosaries: Don’t buy every bench. It’s often better to just die and respawn at the last permanent checkpoint than to pay for a temporary one.
• ⚡ Map is Mandatory: Your first priority is finding the cartographer, Shaq, to buy the map for the Underworks. Don’t explore without it.
• 🎯 New Enemies, New Lore: This area is packed with new journal entries and the Bone Scroll relic. Keep your needle ready.

“So you never know how thick the fog is until it clears.”

🎮 Step-by-Step Underworks Escape Plan:

1. Grab the Map & Relic - From the start, navigate through the initial rooms. Your first objective is to locate the map vendor. Near his location, you can find a secret room containing the Bone Scroll, a crucial relic for 100% completion.
   

2. Navigate the Gauntlet - The path forward is a mix of tough platforming over collapsing floors and steam pipes, and combat against new enemies. Take it slow, learn their patterns, and don’t be afraid to retreat and heal.
   

3. Meet Loam & Find the Checkpoint - You’ll eventually find a secret area housing a… peculiar NPC named Loam. Exhaust his dialogue for now. Soon after, you’ll reach a safe room with multiple benches and a vital checkpoint.

Once you’ve made your way through the Underworks and opened up some shortcuts, we’re backtracking to Greymoor to unlock the Sinner’s Road. This path leads to one of the game’s most infamous areas: The Mist.

🚀 Pro Player Moves:

• 🎯 Farm the Wraiths! - The Mist is a one-time, missable area. To complete your journal for the Platinum trophy, you MUST defeat nine “Wraith” enemies before you find the exit. If you leave without getting the journal entry, you’re locked out forever.
  
• 💪 Follow the Butterflies - The Mist is a randomized maze. To find the correct path, use your needling ability near the glowing butterflies. They will fly towards the correct exit. You need to successfully navigate six rooms in a row.
  
• 🔥 Embrace the Curse - The water in this region is cursed. Falling in once prevents you from healing. Falling in again is instant death. Avoid it at all costs, but if you do fall in, play defensively until you can land enough hits to heal and remove the curse.

After surviving The Mist, you’ll emerge into the Grand Beltway. This is the final stretch before this chapter’s main boss. Make sure to find a hidden Flea here to pop the ‘Flea Finder’ Trophy!

🏆 Boss-Level Execution: How to Beat the Phantom Lancer

The Phantom Lancer is all about speed and teleportation. The key to this fight is one simple concept: always get behind her.

1. Bait and Circle: She throws her spear at your location, then teleports to it. As she throws, jump or dash over her to her backside.
2. Strike and Retreat: Land one or two hits, then immediately back off. Don’t get greedy.
3. Dodge the Pillars: In Phase 2 and 3, she summons light pillars. These are your best windows to attack. As soon as they fade, she’s vulnerable for a couple of hits.
4. Listen for the Parry: If you hear a parry sound, she’s about to do a quick counter-lunge. Immediately jump to avoid it.

By constantly circling her, you stay in her blind spot and control the fight.

[Segment Reference: 1:19:53 - 1:24:32]

The entire Phantom Lancer fight in this Silksong Platinum Walkthrough Part 10 hinges on mastering the “Circle Strafing” technique. She telegraphs every move; your job is to react by moving to where she was, not where she is.

🔥 Advanced Technique Breakdown:

1. The Teleport Bait - Segment: [1:20:44 - 1:21:24]
   When she’s on the ground, stand still for a moment to bait her spear throw. As the spear leaves her hand, dash directly through her. You’ll end up perfectly positioned for a counter-attack as she materializes.
   

2. Pillar Punishment - Segment: [1:22:13 - 1:23:00]
   During Phase 2, instead of running from the light pillars, position yourself just outside the final one. The moment it disappears, she is locked in a brief animation. This is your safest window to land two hits or a full heal.
   

Based on insights from the content, here’s what NOT to do:

1. ❌ Forgetting to Farm Wraiths in The Mist - Segment: [1:00:56 - 1:02:18]
   This is the number one run-killer for 100% completion. You CANNOT come back to The Mist. If you leave without getting the journal entry for the Wraiths, your Platinum quest is over for this save file.
   

   • ✅ Fix: Before trying to solve the maze, intentionally get lost and farm at least nine Wraiths. Once your journal updates, then focus on escaping.
   • 🎯 Silksong Platinum Walkthrough Part 10 - 100% Completion Guide Impact: This is the most critical step for the “100% Completion” part of your journey in this chapter.

2. ❌ Panicking During the Phantom Lancer Fight - Segment: [1:24:32 - 1:25:23]
   The boss is fast and can feel overwhelming, causing players to dash wildly and waste silk. Fighting her from a distance or trying to tank hits is a recipe for disaster.
   

   • ✅ Fix: Stay calm and stick to the “circle and strike” strategy. Focus on dodging first and attacking second. One clean hit is better than trading damage.
   • 💡 Pro Tip: Turn off the music if it’s making you anxious. Focus solely on the visual and audio cues of her attacks.

A: No. The Mist is a one-time-only area. Once you leave, you can never return on that save file. Missing the Wraith journal entry means you cannot achieve 100% completion or the Platinum trophy on that playthrough. It’s crucial to farm them before you find the true exit.

A: There isn’t a traditional “cheese,” but the “circle and strike” method is as close as it gets. Her AI is hard-coded to attack your last known position. By constantly moving behind her, you exploit this flaw. Using tools like the newly acquired Tacks can also help control the arena and deal passive damage while you focus on dodging.

A: The Underworks is a great place to farm. The lockdown rooms and areas with respawning mechanical enemies drop a good amount of Rosary Beads. Make a loop between a bench and a dense pack of enemies. Also, don’t forget you’ve picked up several Frayed Rosaries (consumables) throughout this chapter that you can pop for a quick infusion of cash.
