How to heal in Hollow Knight Silksong

In Hollow Knight: Silksong, healing is one of the most important mechanics, and it works a little differently from the original game. In this, players cannot use a Soul to heal; Hornet must fill a Silk gauge to heal.

Once the gauge is full, the Bind action restores up to three masks of health at once. The healing animation is faster but still carries risk; if interrupted, all Silk is lost and healing fails. Players can also restore health by resting on benches, and it also acts as a safe point. Additionally, players collecting four Mask Shards also increases Hornet’s maximum health and fully restores health upon completion. This article outlines a complete guide on how players can heal, with types of healing methods, each one clearly explained.

How to use Bind to Heal in Hollow Knight Silksong

Healing in Silksong relies on Silk and the Bind ability, and here is how players use it:

  • Hornet must fill her Silk gauge completely to use Bind.
  • Activating Bind (hold A on PC or Xbox) instantly heals up to three masks.
  • The animation is faster compared to the original game, but still not instantaneous.
  • If Hornet is hit while healing, the entire Silk gauge is lost and no healing occurs.
  • Healing can even be performed in mid-air, offering more flexibility during combat.

How to use Benches for full health restoration in Hollow Knight Silksong

Benches serve as safe recovery points throughout Hornet’s adventure:

  • Resting at a bench fully restores Hornet’s health.
  • Benches also act as safe checkpoints, allowing progress to be spared.

How Mask Shards contribute to healing in Hollow Knight Silksong

Improving Hornet’s durability involves gathering Mask Shards:

  • Hornet's maximum health is increased by one mask when four Mask Shards are collected.
  • Upon acquisition, completing a set of four shards also completely restores health.

How to manage Silk and healing effectively in Hollow Knight Silksong

To make the most of healing in Silksong, consider these tactics:

  • When the Silk gauge is full, strategically plan your battles and pick safe times to recover.
  • Seize the chance to heal in midair, particularly during intense battles.
  • When feasible, use benches for dependable recovery and point saving.
  • Seek out Mask Shards early to increase health capacity and gain passive healing benefits.

These were all the above ways through which players can heal in Hollow Knight Silksong.
