Silk Hearts in Hollow Knight Silksong aren’t just random collectibles. They are extremely rare upgrade items that you’ll want to collect at all costs. Grabbing them all is crucial if you want to unlock Hornet’s true power and potential.

The game offers only three of these Silk Hearts, which makes finding them even trickier owing to the expansive map and several secret nooks and crannies. So, here’s a detailed guide on where you can locate all three of the Silk Hearts in the game.

What Do Silk Hearts Do?

Hornet relies on her Silk spool to use or cast many of her abilities or tools, including the healing Bind. Although she can regenerate some of the used Silk when she attacks enemies, she might still run out in certain cases. This usually happens during some of the longer encounters involving tough bosses or swarms of enemies. In such cases, a Silk Heart enables her to recover one notch of Silk on the Spool when she has no remaining Silk to use. So, you can use these items to sustain Silk Skill casts even after Hornet exhausts all of her Silk reserves.
