How to get all variants of the Silkshot in Hollow Knight: Silksong – Ruined Tool repair guide

The Silkshot can be yours if you manage to repair the Ruined Tool. The item itself comes from Bilewater, while the Silkshot can be fixed by certain NPCs. In one instance, you may repair it on your own via a special workbench.

Where to find the Ruined Tool?

Before you can get the Hollow Knight: Silksong Silkshot, you must first acquire the Ruined Tool. It comes from Bilewater, one of the most notorious regions in the game due to an overabundance of enemies and hazardous maggot pools.

Upon reaching the zone via Sinner’s Road, keep going to the right until you stumble upon a cocoon door. Press and hold the button prompt to play your Needolin to make the doorway open. Enter Weavenest Murglin and drop down the shaft. Continue along the corridor, wall climb to the top, and go to the left to find the Ruined Tool.

Note: The Ruined Tool can only be repaired once, so you need to think about the reward that you’ll get later on.
