Hollow Knight: Silksong PSA: Missing Bench in Bilewater

If you are playing Hollow Knight: Silksong, be aware that you're missing a crucial bench in Bilewater. This message is for everyone, even those who haven’t reached Bilewater yet—you will get there, and you’ll want to know this.

About Bilewater

Bilewater is a large, unpleasant zone located beyond the already challenging Sinner's Road. You can enter it fairly early in Act 1, and it is essential if you want to progress to Act 3 of the game.

Why Bilewater is So Difficult

The Bench Situation

One of the most notable difficulties in Bilewater is the scarcity of benches. There is only one bench located deep at the bottom of Bilewater, in the Bell Beast station.

You might initially believe there is a bench near the top left side of the zone, but that’s a trap—falling into the maggot water awaits instead.

"I just wanted to let you know, before you go any further, that you're missing a bench in Bilewater."
"It is a massive, disgusting zone on the other side of the already frustrating Sinner's Road that you can stumble into fairly early on in Act 1 of Silksong, and which is required if you ever want to see the game's Act 3."

Author’s summary: Bilewater in Silksong is a harsh, bench-scarce zone filled with hazards and tough enemies, making careful exploration and knowledge essential for survival.
