Aiming for complete achievement mastery in
Hollow Knight: Silksong? Then you’ll need to understand the requirements for 100% completion.
Initially, the factors contributing to the 100% total may not be
immediately apparent. This figure becomes visible on your save file
following the creation of the Farsight item within
Bellhome, specifically
during Act 3.
To prevent unnecessary exploration, here’s a breakdown of the essential
components for achieving 100% completion, as well as the aspects that can
be safely disregarded. Fortunately, certain late-game challenges within
Pharloom are not mandatory.
Crests
Firstly,
acquiring all Crests is a must, with
one exclusively found in Act 3. While many Crests are
encountered through standard exploration, some are cleverly concealed.

Acquiring all tools will likely consume a significant amount of time, given
the extensive tool collection within the game. Obtaining
all yellow, blue, and red tools is crucial for achieving
100%. However, certain tool augmentations are not essential. For example,
while purchasing the Curveclaw from
Hunter’s March is necessary, obtaining the Curvesickle upgrade
from Far Fields is not. Similarly, only one Silkshot variant is needed.
Furthermore, locating every Flea is paramount, as it
grants the Egg of Flealia tool and a
Pale Oil, both of which are indispensable. Similarly, gathering all Maps is vital due to their role in Shakra’s Quest, leading to the
acquisition of the Throwing Ring tool.
With numerous tools to discover, each contributes a single percentage point
to the overall completion score. Below is a directory listing each tool and
its location.
