How to Get Silkspeed Anklets in Silksong

by

Silkspeed Anklets are a yellow item in *Hollow Knight: Silksong* that makes Hornet run faster. They significantly boost her Swift Step ability, but use a small amount of resources. What’s interesting is that players can find these anklets quite early in the game, making them a useful item to grab within the first few hours of playing.

If you’re looking to explore the game world more quickly and fight enemies faster, you’ll want to know how to get the Silkspeed Anklets. Here’s what you need to know to find them.

How to Get Silkspeed Anklets in Silksong

Silkspeed Anklets Location

  • Requirements: Needolin, Swift Step

can be found in Weavenest Cindril, a hidden area on the far east side of Far Fields in Silksong.

Begin at the bench near the Seamstress’s hut. Turn right and carefully drop down onto the stone platforms below. Jump over the rising air current and go into the room on your right. Continue heading to the right until you reach the end of that room.

Hit the smoldering fire pit on the wall to break through to the next room.

Okay, so you just keep going east, past all the enemies and the lava, and you’ll eventually find a special door – it’s a Needolin door! You need to use Hornet’s Needolin to open it, and then you can finally get inside Weavenest Cindril. It’s awesome in there!

To the right of the bench are pillars that light up when you run past them.

Start by using Swift Step to quickly run past the pillars – they’ll light up as you go. If you run the entire tunnel without stopping, all the pillars will activate, causing a pedestal with the Silkspeed Anklets to rise at the end of the room. Grab the anklets and then go back to the starting bench to equip them.

How Do Silkspeed Anklets Work in Silksong?

How to Use Silkspeed Anklets

Eating Silk slightly boosts Hornet’s running speed while using Swift Step. While the amount of Silk consumed is small, it’s still noticeable. You can reduce this cost by using items that increase your Silk regeneration rate.

While you have any Silk remaining on the spool, Hornet will keep using it if you’re wearing Silkspeed Anklets. The only way to stop this is to remove the anklets from your Crest.

Silkspeed Anklets are well worth the investment. They almost double your speed, which is helpful throughout the entire game. Plus, because it’s a yellow Tool, it doesn’t compete with your red and blue Tool slots, making it easy to add to almost any character build.

Running faster isn’t just good for exploring; it also makes fighting easier. It’s much simpler to dodge attacks or escape dangerous areas on the ground when you have these items equipped.

Weavenest Cindril Secret Area

A secret area beneath Weavenest Cindril can be reached by running past the light pillars while wearing Silkspeed Anklets and under the effect of Flea Brew. You can get Flea Brew by finishing the Lost Fleas quest for the Flea Caravan in The Marrow.

To access the secret area, first put on the Silkspeed Anklets and drink the Flea Brew while you’re standing near the bench. Then, while both items are still active, run the entire length of the tunnel. This will cause a hidden door to open close to the pedestal. Inside, you’ll find the Rune Harp, a valuable artifact that you can trade to Relic Seeker Scrounge in Bellhart to receive a Rosary.
