🎮 Silksong - Ultimate Silksong Platinum Walkthrough Part 5 - 100% Completion Guide & Pro Strategies

Based on segments [0:06 - 7:04] from the original content

This part of our Silksong Platinum Walkthrough Part 5 - 100% Completion Guide kicks off with some necessary backtracking to set us up for success. To follow the most optimal route for items and progression, we first need to collect a few fleas we missed.

Our first stop is a hidden area in Deep Docks. From the bell, we’ll head back, break a hidden wall, and meet a not-so-friendly hermit. After activating the bellway, we’ll travel back to Deep Docks to rescue a flea trapped behind a lava puzzle.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• 💡 Backtracking now saves major headaches later by moving the Flea Caravan correctly.
• ⚡ Entering the new area, Hunter’s March, is required to get an easily accessible flea.
• 🎯 This area is a platforming nightmare for new players, similar to Hollow Knight’s “Path of Pain,” but we only need to clear the first section.

💬 Community Quote:

“[3:35] This area is an absolute nightmare for most players. Basically, it’s a… if you’ve never done Path of Pain in Hollow Knight.”

🎮 Step-by-Step Flea Collection:

1. Deep Docks Flea - Segment: [3:12] Travel back to Deep Docks. Navigate the lava platforming section to the right of the main area to find and free the first flea.
   

2. Enter Hunter’s March - Segment: [5:26] Backtrack through the familiar path towards Mero, heading up to the room where we found the Kunai Blades. The path to the right is the entrance to Hunter’s March.
   

3. Rescue the Hunter’s March Flea - Segment: [6:34] Follow the pogo-jumping and dashing path up. At the section with the vertical climb, head left instead of right into a small hidden alcove to find and free the second flea.
   

Covering segments [7:38 - 13:25] insights

With five fleas in tow, it’s time to meet the caravan. This moment is a critical junction in this 100% Completion Guide. The leader will ask if you want to travel with them.

You MUST select “No.”

Saying “Yes” teleports them directly to Greymoor, and they’ll stay put. By saying “No,” we reject their offer, which causes them to follow our progress and appear in multiple locations throughout the world, which is essential for their questline and seeing all their dialogue.

🚀 Pro Player Moves:

• 🎯 Say “No” to the Caravan Leader: This ensures they travel with you throughout Pharloom, unlocking more interactions.
  

• 💪 Meet the Caravan in Greymoor: After telling them no, travel back to the Greymoor hub (where the Moth God was). The caravan will be there.
  

• 🔥 Collect the Flea Brew: Speak to the slow-moving flea in the caravan at Greymoor to receive the Flea Brew, a useful consumable.
  

Deep dive into segments [13:55 - 30:25] content

Now it’s time to fully clear Greymoor. Head to the right side of the area, past the cartographer, to tackle a challenging lockdown sequence and unlock a powerful new skill.

🏆 Lockdown Gauntlet:
This section features a tough lockdown arena full of beads. The most dangerous enemy is the large bug that throws Kunai with aimbot-like precision.

1. Preparation: Rest at the bench and ensure your tools are ready. The run-back can be punishing.
2. The Fight: Prioritize taking out the fat Kunai-throwing enemy first. Use the narrow platforms to your advantage to dodge and strike.
3. The Reward: After clearing the lockdown, hit the lever to raise balloons throughout the area, opening new paths.

After the lockdown, we’ll navigate the newly opened paths, rescue another flea, collect a Frayed Rosary String, and unlock a crucial new skill: Threadstorm.

[Segment Reference: 56:24 - 58:20]

The main boss of Shellwood seems intimidating, but the strategy is simple: the minions are the real threat, not the boss itself.

🔥 Advanced Technique Breakdown:

1. Minion Control is #1 - Segment: [57:05 - 57:28] The moment minions spawn from the ceiling, make them your top priority. They are incredibly aggressive and will overwhelm you. A single Threadstorm cast can wipe them out instantly if they get close.
   

2. Arena Awareness - Segment: [56:51 - 57:01] The boss will spawn vines in the middle of the arena. Break them immediately. Running into a vine during a dodge is a common and avoidable death. The boss’s slam attack has a wider hitbox than it appears, so give it a full body-length of space when dodging.
   

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

1. ❌ Rushing the “Indiana Jones” Escape - Segment: [48:34 - 49:02] After picking up the Mask Shard in Shellwood, the area floods with enemies and new traps. Rushing back out of panic is the #1 cause of death here.
   

• ✅ Fix: Take it slow. When landing on a new platform, immediately attack upwards to knock the spawning flower into the ceiling, neutralizing it before it can attack.
• 🎯 Silksong Platinum Walkthrough Part 5 Impact: Securing the Mask Shard is vital for 100% completion; dying here and losing your Rosaries is a major setback.

2. ❌ Ignoring Boss Minions - Segment: [58:50 - 59:12] Many players try to tunnel-vision the main boss, thinking they can out-damage the minions. This is a fatal mistake.
   

• ✅ Fix: The moment you hear the audio cue for minions spawning, stop attacking the boss and eliminate them. Your Threadstorm ability is the perfect tool for this.
• 💡 Pro Tip: The minions are the true “hard part” of the fight. Once they are gone, the boss is simple and predictable.
