Sharpdart in Silksong: A Wormways Dash of Pure Joy

Listen, I have a confession: I am still not over Sharp Shadow from the original Hollow Knight. So when I heard that Hollow Knight: Silksong hides a dash-through-your-enemies Silk Skill called Sharpdart in the Wormways, I did what any sensible bug with a needle would do — I packed snacks, ignored the acid, and went looking for it. In 2026, this route remains one of my favorite power spikes: short, punchy, and absolutely worth the minor emotional damage caused by ceiling worms.

The Three Things You Need Before the Worm Party

Before you sprint into the Wormways like a caffeinated flea, grab these three things. I learned this the hard way, which is a polite way of saying I stood in front of a locked door and made sad bug noises.

Thing
Where to get it
Why you need it

Simple Key
Merchant in Bone Bottom, 500 Rosaries
Opens the main Wormways door

Needolin
Defeat the Widow in Bellhart
Opens the deeper Weavenest door

Clawline
The Cauldron, deep in the Underworks during Act 2
Lets you reach the sandy gap platform

Make sure you have enough Rosary beads on hand for the Simple Key. Five hundred Rosaries sounds like a lot until you remember that you will spend it on a door and then immediately forget the pain. That is character growth.
