Wondering how to unlock double jump in Hollow Knight Silksong? You won’t be the only one. With so many traversal abilities available to Hornet over the course of the game, you might be surprised to learn how the simple, traditional double jump ability is handled in this long-awaited sequel to a legendary platforming game. Read on to learn how to find it, and what other abilities you’ll need to unlock first.
Despite being the sequel to one of the best PC games around, the new main character of Hollow Knight Silksong starts with very few of the abilities needed to see the journey through to the end. If you’re lost in its winding tunnels, check out our Hollow Knight Silksong map. And if you’re struggling with a particular menace, our guide to the Hollow Knight Silksong bosses should be able to help.
How to unlock Double Jump in Hollow Knight Silksong?
Yes, you can double jump in Hollow Knight Silksong. But not for a while. Unlike the Dash and Glide abilities, you won’t learn how to double jump in Silksong until you reach the Mount Fay area. It’s here that you find a monument that leads to obtaining the Faydown Cloak item.
Reaching the area requires completing a particularly long and arduous platforming journey that starts from the left exit of The Slab’s Bellways spawn.
On top of needing abilities like Dash, Glide, Harpoon, Wall Jump, and many more, you’ll also need to be quick on your feet. The climb takes you high into frigid territory where you’ll take fast and heavy periodic damage. You’ll need to be fast to avoid succumbing to the damage, but accurate so as not to fall all the way back down.
You can mitigate the risk somewhat by collecting enough Hollow Knight Silksong Mask Shards to boost your health pool. Like healing in Hollow Knight Silksong, extra health can only do so much.
Reach the top of the frozen mountain in one piece to claim your prize. On its own, the Double Jump ability does little to stand out. Combined with your other abilities, traversing what’s left of the Pharloom should be much, much easier. It’s a safety net ability at the very least.
Now that you have the Hollow Knight Silksong Double Jump ability, you might want to check out the Hollow Knight Silksong length guide. It can help you work out how far from the finish line you might be. Before then, our guide to the best Metroidvanias games on PC might introduce you to your next adventure.
