Here’s everything you need to know about The Threadspun Town quest and how to break the Bellhart curse in Silksong.
Where To Find Skull Tyrant In Silksong (The Terrible Tyrant Quest)
The Skull Tyrant in Hollow Knight: Silksong is hidden somewhere in The Marrow; here's its location if players are lost.
The Threadspun Town Quest In Silksong
To break the Bellhart curse in Silksong, Hornet needs to travel into the next area, Shellwood. There, you need to unlock her Cling Grip skill so she can wall jump her way onto the higher floors of Bellhart.
First, find Shakra and buy a map to navigate Shellwood, since it’s a large region and it’s easy to get lost in it. Shakra can usually be found on the lower side of Shellwood. Keep heading west until you reach the bench that leads to Bone Bottom.
Obtain the wall-jumping skill and continue east, staying in the higher areas. If players have returned to the bench, then go up before heading east.
After reaching a dead end, go up, then wall jump to the right, and you’ll find the entrance to the higher floors of Bellhart. Break the bells and get inside. The lower and higher floors of Bellhart are like a maze. They’re designed this way to complicate collecting the Silver Bells in later quests.
Once inside the higher floors of Bellhart, go down, avoiding the spikes.
Go to the right, then fall again. This time, move left into another hole. Two Winged Furms are blocking the hole, so be sure to slay them first.
Don’t go to the end of the hole. Instead, find bells that are blocking the way to the left. Break the bells and proceed in that direction.
Finally, enter the hole. Now, Hornet is one step closer to breaking the Bellhart Curse in Silksong.
Once you’re in, keep going to the right until you find another opening.
There, interact with Widow, and a boss fight will start. Beating Widow will break the Bellhart Curse and grant Hornet the Needolin skill in Silksong.
Now, Hornet can return to the starting area of Bellhart, and the town will be lively again, with multiple NPCs and shops available for interactions. Not only that, but the town will also have its own Wishwall, where you can get more quests, such as finding Tipp after triggering the My Missing Courier quest in Silksong.
