My Abyss Survival Guide in Silksong: Map, Entry, and Escape

As a die-hard Hollow Knight fan, I dove headfirst into Silksong’s Act 3 the moment I unlocked it. And let me tell you, the Abyss is no joke. This pitch-black nightmare will test your patience, but the rewards are worth it. Here’s my personal account of finding the Abyss map, reaching the depths, and clawing my way back out.

Finding the Abyss Map

So you’ve made it to the Abyss. Congrats, but you’re probably blind as a bat down there. The Abyss map is located right on top of the southern bench. After you reach that checkpoint, look for an opening above you and jump up there. Then head a little to the left, and you’ll claim the map. Once you grab it, all the areas Hornet has already discovered on the way to the bench will instantly appear on your map. 🗺️

But here’s the catch: the Abyss map only opens after you’ve gone through the pitch-black depths. So there’s no way to use it before that. Trust me, I tried. You just have to stumble around in the dark for a bit.

How to Reach the Abyss

Reaching the Abyss in Silksong is no easy task. After entering Act 3, Hornet is determined to fix the disaster that’s fallen upon Pharloom. To do that, she needs to reach the cause of it all in the depths, which means volunteering for a journey to the Abyss.

To get there, she needs help from someone who knows how to forge a vessel that can withstand the trip. So you’ll need to journey to the Deep Docks and find the Forge Daughter, who’s marked by the vendor icon on your map. But when you speak to her, she’ll tell you that the one you actually need is Ballow, the worker next to her. Talk to Ballow, and he’ll agree to help Hornet.
