Buy the Crafting Kit
The Crafting Kit is an essential item which is necessary for the newly introduced crafting system. You will find this item sitting in the shop early on in the game. This system is crucial for making many of Hornet’s tools she utilizes in combat.
So, make sure to save 140 currency to grab this item from the shop.

Check Shops For Tools and Crests
The Crafting Kit is not the only good item these shops sell. Many shops will house Tools and Crests for the Princess Knight to use. These Tools and Crests are what will make builds feel different throughout the game, and between different players.
So, if you stumble upon a new shop, be sure to stop for a second and check their wares.
Setup Crests According To Your Playing Style
As previously mentioned, these Crests and tools will determine a major chunk of your build. The Crest system is basically the replacement of the Charm system of the original Hollow Knight. Different Crests will have different slots to insert Tools into.
You will have to find the perfect Crest which matches your aggression or defensive play style.
Hit Walls and Roofs Everywhere
Hollow Knight has a plethora of hidden secrets. These include paths, rooms and many other places to explore. These secrets are hidden behind walls and roofs.
Even in the starting area, you can swim in the water and go beneath the bridge to lead to a hidden area. Who knows how many more secrets are hidden in the game?
Get Combat Practice Early
When you just start the game, the enemies will be much easier to deal with (as compared to later on). Therefore, it is advised that you practice your movement and attacks as much as possible here.
Once you are familiar with your movement and attacks, the rest of your journey will be much smoother.
Healing System
The healing system in Silksong works similar to Hollow Knight, however, there are still some differences. Firstly, you need to take damage or deal it to build up your Silk bar. Once that is filled you can use it all at once, to heal up multiple masks at once.
However, the drawback from the original game still remains. If you get interrupted mid way, then the consumed resources are not refunded. Therefore, you need to be careful when you choose to use your healing.
Mask Shards
These items are necessary to increase your maximum health in the game. Keep breaking walls and exploring as much as possible. Eventually you will stumble on these Mask Shards which can be combined together to increase your maximum health.
Although, this will likely not be an immediate priority, as you will likely not find lots of of these shards early on in the game.
That was the best and complete beginner’s guide looking to start Hollow Knight: Silksong. Which other tips would you suggest to players?
