What is Hollow Knight: Silksong's The Mist?
The Mist in Hollow Knight: Silksong occurs near the end of the first act, and it sees you go through misty rooms with numerous pathways - there's just one correct route, and should you pick the wrong one, you end up back at the beginning. It can get very frustrating, but we can tell you exactly how to get through so you don't feel like you're in Groundhog Day.
How do I get through Hollow Knight: Silksong's The Mist?
Follow the butterflies. It's as simple as that. In The Mist, you can see white butterflies, but to get them to guide your way, you need to play your instrument, which causes them to head to the door you need to go through to progress. While this might sound easy in principle, you'd be foolish to forget about the traps and enemies that wander the world in Hollow Knight: Silksong, so you need to be ready to put up a fight - or avoid the enemies entirely if you so choose. The wraiths in The Mist drain your silk, so avoiding them is a good option.
What's at the end of Hollow Knight: Silksong's The Mist?
For all your trouble with Hollow Knight: Silksong's The Mist, the game rewards you with a short dungeon that culminates in a boss fight with the Last Judge, the final boss of the first act. It shouldn't surprise you to learn that she's a tough cookie, so make sure you're on your A game to win this one.
