There are four benches in Hollow Knight: Silksong's Bilewater area. While players are likely to run into at least one of those benches while exploring Bilewater, some of them are quite well hidden. This guide is here to provide more details on the hidden benches' locations, and it will help players find every bench in Silksong's Bilewater.
Players will need to unlock double jump in Silksong before they can reach Bilewater's third and fourth benches. This is also a requirement for unlocking the area's map.
Where to Find All Bilewater Benches in Silksong
Bilewater Bench #1
The first bench in Bilewater is in the room with the area's Bell Beast station. As players start exploring Bilewater, they will encounter signs that lead them directly to this room. That said, if a player is struggling to find Bilewater's first bench, they can follow the route shown in the following video, which starts at the entrance to the area.
Bilewater Bench #2
Exit the room with the first bench and go left to find a breakable wall. Beyond that wall, players will find the Mist, and there is a structure that they can enter at the end of that area. This structure is the Exhaust Organ, and players should go up and to the left once inside to activate a bench.
Players need to have access to Needolin in order to reach the Exhaust Organ, and this guide to traversing the Mist in Silksong fully details the process.
Bilewater Bench #3
It is highly recommended that players obtain the Bilewater map on their way to third bench, as it will make finding it much easier. This guide to unlocking the Bilewater map in Silksong explains how that is done, and as previously mentioned, double jump is required to access it.
Bilewater's third bench is hidden near the top of the area. To reach it, players must smash through a breakable wall at the position marked on the preceding map, and the following video demonstrates the full route.
As players climb to the third bench, they may encounter signs pointing them toward a bench. However, the bench that these signs point to is actually a trap, and players who try to use it will quickly find themselves falling into an infectious pool.
Bilewater Bench #4
Silksong players will gain access to Bilewater's final bench upon beating Groal the Great, the boss at the top of the area.
