Hollow Knight: Silksong expands the world of Hallownest and reshapes how endings work altogether. Hornet’s journey through Pharloom is split into multiple Acts, branching Wishes, and character-driven choices that ultimately determine which of Silksong’s endings you see.
Whether you follow the initial paths tied to Grandmother Silk, make the key choices concerning the Rite of Binding, or commit to the extensive Silk & Soul questline, each path branches. The ultimate finales, which include the hopeful Weaver Queen route, the tragic Snared Silk conclusion, and the Void-aligned epilogues, reveal a different shade of Hornet’s destiny and the fate of Pharloom.
If you’re trying to see every ending, this guide breaks down all of them in one place: how many endings Silksong actually has, what each one means, and exactly what you need to do to unlock them. Think of it as your clean, spoiler-organized roadmap through Act progression, Wish requirements, key NPC decisions, and the late-game routes that branch into Silksong’s final scenes.
Let’s jump into every ending Silksong has, and how to reach them all.
Hollow Knight: Silksong has six endings, split across two major branches:
2 Act 2 endings — determined before the Silk & Soul route
4 Act 3 endings — unlocked only if you commit to the Silk & Soul questline
Your choices with Grandmother Silk, whether you pursue the Rite of Binding, and your performance during the Sister of the Void trial determine which of the six finales you reach.
The True Ending is Ending 4: Sister of the Void, achieved by:
Completing the full Silk & Soul questline
Entering Act 3
Surviving the Sister of the Void’s trial
Defeating the true final boss, Lost Lace
This is the longest, most complete conclusion and resolves all major story threads.
While not explicitly marked as “canon,” the structure of the late-game, post-credits scenes, and epilogue lore strongly points to Sister of the Void as the intended canonical ending, especially since it’s required to unlock Endings 5 and 6.
Ending 5: Snared Silk (Void) is widely regarded as Silksong’s most devastating finale. It takes the darkest elements of the Act 3 route and resolves them with Hornet fully consumed by the Void. Fans often compare it to Hollow Knight 1’s “Sealed Siblings” ending for its emotional weight.
Yes and no.
You can finish the game in Act 2 and see two endings (Weaver Queen / Twisted Child). But to see the core narrative and the Void-aligned conclusions, you must complete the Silk & Soul route, which automatically pushes you into Act 3.
Ending # | Ending Name | Act | How to Unlock | Tone |
1 | The Weaver Queen | Act 2 | Complete Act 2 → Choose "Bind the Threads" with Grandmother Silk → Do not initiate Silk & Soul | Hopeful / Rebirth |
2 | The Twisted Child | Act 2 | Complete Act 2 → Choose "Twist the Threads" with Grandmother Silk → Avoid Silk & Soul route | Dark Mirror / Corrupted |
3 | Snared Silk | Act 3 | Begin Silk & Soul → Enter the Cradle → Fail the Sister of the Void trial OR choose “Forfeit” | Tragic / Void |
4 | Sister of the Void (True Ending) | Act 3 | Complete all three Great Wishes → Reach the Cradle → Pass the Sister’s trial → Defeat Lost Lace | Canon / Complete |
5 | Snared Silk (Void Epilogue) | Act 3 Epilogue | Unlock Ending 4 first → Complete Purity questline → Choose “Embrace the Corruption” | Bleakest Ending |
6 | Passing of the Age (Herald Ending) | Act 3 Epilogue | Unlock Ending 4 → Achieve 100% → Collect Pharloom Herald Fragment → Redo the final fight | Transcendent / Lore-Rich |
This is Silksong’s “true path,” consisting of three phases.
Speak to Needolin: Choose “Seek Deeper Truths.” This locks out Act 2 endings.
Obtain the First Weaver Relic: Opens mid-game dungeons and traversal challenges.
Grandmother Silk’s Warning: Choose “Press Forward.” Choosing “Heed the Warning” reverts you to Act 2 endings.
All three must be completed:
Wish of Ascent — mobility challenge focused on silk traversal
Wish of Resilience — boss rush & combat trials
Wish of Knowledge — lore puzzle gauntlets
Completing all three unlocks The Cradle.
Inside the Cradle:
Weaver Queen Confrontation: Peaceful dialogue or mini-boss, depending on earlier choices.
The Sister of the Void Trial: Survive the timed illusion onslaught → Choose the “Balance/Preserve” response. Failing leads to Ending 3.
Lost Lace Final Boss: Required to reach Ending 4 and unlock the epilogues.

Silksong features six total endings: two Act 2 finales and four Act 3 finales tied to the Silk & Soul route. Your late-game choices, Wish progression, and performance in the Sister of the Void trial determine which one you see.
The true ending is Ending 4: Sister of the Void. You must complete the full Silk & Soul questline, pass the Sister’s trial, and defeat the true final boss, Lost Lace. This ending resolves all major story threads.
While the game doesn’t explicitly label a canonical route, the structure of Act 3, the post-credits sequence, and the lore epilogues strongly point to Sister of the Void as the intended canon ending.
Act 3 is optional only if you stop at Act 2. If you pursue the Silk & Soul route — which opens the game’s true narrative and four major endings — Act 3 becomes mandatory.
Complete all three Great Wishes, advance to the Cradle, survive the Sister of the Void trial, and you’ll unlock the fight against Lost Lace, the true final boss of the Silk & Soul route.
Not in a single run. Certain choices lock out Act 2 or Act 3 endings. However, you can see all six by replaying from earlier save benches or starting new runs with different choices.
No. The Act 2 endings are standalone conclusions. If you initiate the Silk & Soul path, you are diverted into Act 3 instead, unlocking an entirely separate branch of endings.
Yes. Ending 6: Passing of the Age requires full 100% completion and collecting the hidden Pharloom Herald Fragment before replaying the final encounter.
