Hey, fellow Hornet fans! If you are lost in the Citadel and keep hearing about a mysterious place called the Memorium, I have got you covered. I spent way too many hours wandering the lower corridors of Hollow Knight: Silksong before I finally figured out the exact route, and I want to save you from that same headache. In 2026, with the current version of the game, the path is still the same, and the map is still sold by the same machine for 70 Rosaries. So grab your Needle, make sure your Pins, Quill, and Compass are ready, and let us get you to the Memorium.

Prerequisites Before You Start

Before you even think about reaching the Memorium, you need three key movement tools: the Clawline, the Double Jump, and the Faydown Cloak. Without them, you will hit a wall, literally.

Tool
Where to Get It
Why You Need It

Clawline
Eastern side of the Underworks
Required to climb Mount Fay and reach the peak

Double Jump
Peak of Mount Fay
Needed to reach the upper ledge near Songclave and the Memorium

Faydown Cloak
Late-game Citadel area
Lets you float and reach the final entrance above Songclave

I know that sounds like a lot, but trust me, each ability opens up the Citadel in a big way. If you are missing any of these, go back and grab them first. The Memorium is not going anywhere, but your patience might.

Step 1: Climb Mount Fay for the Double Jump

Start by making your way to Mount Fay. The climb to the peak is no joke. You will face tough platforming, aggressive enemies, and a few moments where you will question your timing. That is why the Clawline from the eastern side of the Underworks is mandatory. Once you have it, use it to grapple and pull yourself up the mountain.



At the very top, you will earn the Double Jump ability. This is the game-changer. With Double Jump in your possession, you can finally reach the upper areas of the Citadel that were previously out of reach.

Step 2: Head to Songclave in the Top Left of the Citadel

Once you have Double Jump, travel to the top left of the Citadel to reach the Songclave. If that name sounds familiar, it is because this is the same location where you would have acquired the White Key needed to access Whiteward. From Songclave, head left. You will pass two powerful enemies. They are not pushovers, so either fight them carefully or run past if you are confident in your dodging.

After you get past them, look above you. There will be an area that is only accessible with the Faydown Cloak. Use your Double Jump and the Faydown Cloak to go up. That is your entrance to the Memorium. Congratulations, you made it!

Step 3: Find the Memorium Map for 70 Rosaries

Reaching the Memorium is only half the battle. The map for this area is not hard to find, but it is easy to miss if you take the wrong path. From the entrance of the Memorium, head right first to access the Bench. Rest there if you need to. Then go outside the room and head up to make your way through the passage on the right. This area has multiple enemies, and at the end you will run into a Rhinoguard. That big guy can hit hard, so be ready to dodge or burst him down.

Once the Rhinoguard is dealt with, head left through the passage. Now go down and to the right when you spot the sign. You will find a machine that sells the Memorium map for 70 Rosaries. Buy it, and your map will be updated. I cannot stress enough how useful this is, especially if you plan to explore every corner of the Memorium and the areas it connects to.

What If You Do Not Have 70 Rosaries?

We have all been there. You reach the map seller and realize your wallet is empty. Do not panic. If you do not have any Rosaries on you, your best option is to go left of the map to the Bench, rest, and then head down. To your right will be two powerful enemies. They are tough, but you can kill them to farm the Rosaries needed for the map. It might take a few runs, but it is a reliable way to get the 70 Rosaries without wandering too far.

After You Buy the Map

After acquiring the map, you have a couple of choices. You can head right through the secret passage to reach Putrified Ducts, or you can head left, which leads to multiple breakable walls and ultimately the Bench. I recommend buying the map first, then exploring. That way you will not get lost when you push deeper into the Memorium or into Putrified Ducts.

Quick Tips for Navigating the Memorium

? Always equip your Compass so you can see your position on the map.

? Use Pins to mark the map seller, the Bench, and the secret passage to Putrified Ducts.

? Update your map with the Quill whenever you enter a new room.

? Farm Rosaries from the two enemies near the Bench if you are short on currency.

⚔️ Do not ignore the Rhinoguard. It guards the route to the map seller, and it can catch you off guard.

? Rest at Benches often. The Memorium can be punishing if you rush in without full health.

Final Thoughts

Reaching the Memorium in Hollow Knight: Silksong is a rite of passage. It requires you to conquer Mount Fay, earn the Double Jump, navigate the top left of the Citadel, and use the Faydown Cloak to reach the hidden entrance above Songclave. The map itself costs 70 Rosaries, but it is worth every single one. I hope this guide saves you from the aimless wandering I went through. Now go out there, Hornet, and make the Citadel your own. Happy exploring! ?

If you are the kind of player who likes to map every corner before committing, you probably apply that same mindset to buying games. Hollow Knight: Silksong and its inspirations rarely stay full price forever, and waiting for a good discount can stretch your gaming budget further. That is where a reliable steam sale tracker like DealNest comes in handy — it helps you watch for price drops without refreshing the store page every day.

Whether you are stocking up on metroidvanias or keeping an eye on the next big indie release, a little patience can save you real money. DealNest keeps things simple by collecting current Steam deals in one place, so you can spend less time checking prices and more time exploring places like the Memorium.

As a veteran Silksong player, I thought I had faced every nightmare the game could throw at me. Then I met Groal the Great. This giant frog boss, hidden high above the foul tunnels of Bilewater, is not just a test of skill—it's a test of patience. In 2026, with the game's community still sharing tips, I finally conquered this optional beast. Was it worth the dozens of deaths and the most punishing runback in the game? Let me tell you my story.



Getting to Groal: The Runback from Hell

First, let's talk about the journey. Groal the Great lives in Bilehaven, at the very top of Bilewater. This zone is hidden within the Citadel, and you have two ways in: through Sinner's Road (via a hidden entrance above the Halfway Home) or through the Putrefied Ducts (from the Memorium zone). The Ducts route is shorter, but you won't unlock it until late in Act 2. I took the Sinner's Road path, and it was brutal.

Before you even think about this fight, do yourself a favor: get the Faydown Cloak from Mount Fay. This double jump ability is essential for both traversal and the boss fight. Without it, you're just frog food.



Bilewater is a poison-filled nightmare. I spent hours avoiding toxic pools and ambushes. Eventually, I reached a bench—yes, a real bench!—and sat down to prepare. From there, I ascended to Bilehaven. The key is to take no damage on the way up. Why? Because before Groal appears, you must survive six waves of enemies and spike traps. That's right, six. If you arrive with low HP or no Silk, you're done.

The Boss Fight: Tips and Cheeses

Now, the main event. Groal the Great is a massive frog with a variety of attacks. I died many times before I found a strategy that worked. Here's what I learned.

The Cheese Method

There's a way to cheese this fight, though it's risky. Instead of avoiding the poison pools at the bottom of the screen, top up your HP and dive straight into the poison. Then swim to the extreme left or right. Groal has a hard time hitting you there. You can leap in and out to attack. Just be careful during its Vengeful Spirit attack—it can still hit you in the water. Also, watch for particles in the water that indicate where enemies or the boss will surface.

Recommended Tools

The best tool for this fight, in my opinion, is the Sting Shard. You throw it, and it hovers in mid-air. When an enemy gets close, it explodes into shards, dealing multiple hits. It's perfect for the enemy waves and for Groal himself.

If you plan to pogo on top of the boss, keep your thumb on the jump input. Use the Faydown Cloak to double jump when Groal rises or dives. The boss jumps slightly before diving, so be ready.

Attack Patterns and Counters

Here's a quick table I wish I had when I started:

Attack
What Groal Does
How I Countered

Vengeful Spirit
Shoots a projectile
Dodge sideways; don't stay in poison

Dive
Flies up then dives down
Double jump with Faydown Cloak

Spit
Aims to the side
Heal above or below the boss

Surface
Particles appear in water
Watch for ambush, move away



The best times to Bind and heal are immediately after Groal dives into the pools or during its spit animation. After it dives, it won't resurface for a few seconds. When spitting, it aims exclusively to the side, so you can heal if you're above or below.

What Do You Get for Beating Groal?

After many attempts, I finally defeated Groal the Great. Was the reward worth it? Let's see.

First, you unlock access to the rest of Bilehaven to the left. This gives you an easy path into the Putrefied Ducts zone, which contains an important progression item. Go left from the boss arena and enter a boggy hut to find the Seeker's Soul. This key item is required to enter Act 3, which is technically optional but essential for completionists.



Exit the hut, continue left across a pit of spikes, and unlock a shortcut down to the bottom of Bilewater. But take the upward path first. This leads into the Putrefied Ducts, where you can find the Key of Apostate (used in The Slab). Explore a bit more, and you'll meet The Huntress, who asks Hornet to gather organs of various enemies using specific tools for the Broodfeast quest.



Final Thoughts

So, would I do it again? Maybe not for fun, but the Seeker's Soul made it necessary for my Act 3 run. Groal the Great is a brutal but memorable boss. The runback is painful, the enemy waves are annoying, but the satisfaction of victory is real. If you're struggling, take my advice: get the Faydown Cloak, bring Sting Shards, and don't be afraid to cheese it. Good luck, and may your Silk be plentiful. ??

After a boss like Groal, I'm usually ready for a break—or at least a change of pace. And if you're anything like me, you're probably juggling a wishlist of games you'd love to play next without paying full price.

That's where DealNest comes in. It's a game price tracker that pulls together deals from different stores, so you can see if that game you've been eyeing is finally on sale. It takes the guesswork out of waiting for a discount, and it's a handy tool for anyone who games on a budget.

I almost missed the Snare Setter on my first journey through Hollow Knight: Silksong. It is a Red Tool hidden inside Weavenest Atla, an area east of Moss Grotto, and the route only opens after you have the Needolin and the Faydown Cloak. Because that means backtracking with a mid-game double jump, many players skip it entirely. In 2026, with Pharloom's secrets widely discussed, I still think this trap tool deserves a permanent slot for boss fights.

?️ What the Snare Setter Actually Is

The Snare Setter is a Red Tool that places a medium-sized silk rune on the ground. When an enemy walks near it, the rune explodes and deals damage. It starts with eight charges by default, and it does not demand rare resources to refill; regular Shell Shards are enough. That makes it easy to restock at benches or vendors before a difficult encounter.

?️ My Route Through Weavenest Atla

Weavenest Atla sits east of Moss Grotto, the starting region of Silksong. To get inside, I played the Needolin in front of the locked door. Once inside, the path to the Snare Setter is short but easy to fumble if you are not paying attention.

Enter Weavenest Atla and activate the teleporter to reach the lower level.

Use Cling Grip to climb the wall on the right.

Jump across the gap and enter the chamber to the left.

Walk left until you reach the water.

Use Cling Grip again to reach the top, then turn right.

Pick up the Snare Setter from the pedestal and add it to your inventory.





The first time I entered this hidden area, I was so focused on the tool that I nearly walked past two other upgrades. Do not make the same mistake. From the bottom right corner of Weavenest Atla, you can claim a Hunter Crest Upgrade. Below the Snare Setter's pedestal, you can also find a Spool Fragment, which increases your Silk capacity.





? How I Use the Snare Setter

When I equip the Snare Setter, I treat it like a patient hunter's tool. I place runes along the ground before a boss charges, during a stagger window, or near arena edges where I expect the boss to dash. The rune explodes when an enemy comes close, so the damage happens without me needing to swing my Needle. That is valuable when a boss has a fast pattern and I want to keep my movement clean.

It works against normal enemies too, but I rarely rely on it for basic exploration. Against common foes, a quick Needle strike is faster and cleaner. The Snare Setter shines when the battlefield is chaotic, when a boss moves around a lot, or when I want to soften a target before committing to melee.



⚔️ Snare Setter vs Tacks

Functionally, the Snare Setter resembles the Tacks Tool, which works like caltrops. Both are ground-based traps, but they behave differently in boss fights. Tacks struggle to deal meaningful damage to bosses that move around constantly. The Snare Setter can still punish those mobile bosses because its rune explodes on proximity. The tradeoff is efficiency: the Snare Setter generally deals less damage per hit than other options, so it is not a pure damage tool. It is a control tool that adds pressure.

? Practical Tips for 2026

?️ Place runes before a boss enters the arena or after a phase transition.

? Use Shell Shards to refill charges before long boss attempts.

? Revisit Moss Grotto and Weavenest Atla after getting the Faydown Cloak.

? Pair trap placement with safe Needle pokes rather than standing still.

?️ Do not ignore the Hunter Crest Upgrade and Spool Fragment in the same area.

?️ For normal enemies, save charges and use your Needle unless you are setting up a crowd.

In my current 2026 playthrough, the Snare Setter is not the flashiest Red Tool, but it is one of the most tactical. It rewards planning, map awareness, and a little patience. If you are willing to backtrack to Weavenest Atla with the Faydown Cloak, you will gain a trap that can turn a frantic boss arena into a field of your own making. For me, that is more than enough reason to keep it equipped.

Chasing every Tool and upgrade in Silksong means racking up a fair amount of playtime, and for many players that journey starts on PC. If you prefer to build your collection on Steam, keeping an eye on discounts can stretch your budget further, especially when DLC or bundled titles go on sale. That is where a reliable steam sale tracker like DealNest comes in handy, letting you follow price drops without refreshing store pages yourself.

Whether you are waiting for Silksong itself or filling your backlog with other metroidvanias to scratch the same itch, having a tool that watches the numbers for you means you never miss a good deal. It pairs nicely with the patient, planning-first mindset this whole guide has been about.

Hollow Knight: Silksong has been out for a while by 2026, and its reputation as a punishing metroidvania has only hardened. Players still expect a few bugs in a game about bugs, but Team Cherry's sequel delivers an overwhelming swarm of them. Not technical glitches—these are intentional, exquisitely designed nightmares. They block paths, drain resources, and turn small arenas into deathtraps. For anyone revisiting Pharloom or finally picking up the sequel, here is a third-person tour of the critters that have caused the most frustration. ?

Kilik



Kilik looks small. It looks weak. That is the trap. This bug appears throughout early areas and can be summoned by the Savage Beastfly to shrink an already cramped arena. Its spikes, however, shoot out much farther than its body suggests. A narrow tunnel with a Kilik becomes a stop sign. Floor and ceiling Kiliks create a skewer. Hornet's needle cannot always reach the inner body, so players must wait, dodge, and chip away. It is a lesson in patience that nobody asked for.

Savage Beastfly



The ordinary beastflies are annoying. The Savage Beastfly is a digital war crime wrapped in a rotund bug body. It is an optional boss, but that does not make the fight pleasant. The arena is tiny. The Beastfly is huge. It dashes around at heights that sometimes feel unavoidable, and it summons extra bugs to make the space even smaller. Oh, and it has an obscene health pool. In 2026, guides may recommend certain tools or strategies, but the memory of that first encounter still stings.

Overgrown Pilgrim



Early areas like Mosshome introduce the Overgrown Pilgrim, a victim of Pharloom's Haunting who now makes that everyone else's problem. The Pilgrim spits at Hornet, then leaps away. It interrupts jumps toward platforms. It hops off ledges, forcing a chase and a restart of the platforming section. The damage is not the issue; the disruption is. Every spit feels personal. Every leap feels like a taunt.

Snitchfly



Wealth is scarce beneath the Citadel of Pharloom, and the Snitchfly is determined to redistribute it—to itself. This thief does not deal much damage, but it can leap onto Hornet and tear away loose rosaries. Defeat it, and the rosaries return. Die or leave the area, and they are gone. Snitchflies are basically the Citadel's bigwigs with worse manners and better jumping. Few enemies feel as personally offensive. ?

Flintflame Flyer



Deep Rock is full of bugs in protective gear, toiling around magma and harvesting flintstone. Their helmets stop attacks from above, but most are slow enough to handle. Then comes the Flintflame Flyer, a demolitions expert who throws incredibly explosive bombs. Send a bomb back? It blocks. Those helmets are thick. The explosion is massive enough to black out the screen and wipe out Hornet in one hit. It is a bug immune to its own bombs, and that feels deeply unfair.

Skarrgard and the Skarr Bugs



Hunter's March brings color back to Pharloom: red shells, greenery, water. It also brings Skarrgard and every other Skarr bug. These are trained killers. They carry weapons, dash, burrow, fire projectiles, and wear helmets. What are they fighting that requires this much defense? The player, apparently. The learning curve in Hunter's March is cruel, even if the bugs themselves are brilliantly designed. Loving them and hating them can happen at the same time.

Swamp Squit



Bilewater is already a nightmare: no map, barely any light, maggots that eat silk. Then the Swamp Squits arrive. They swarm, dash, and explode after defeat. Worse, they respawn almost instantly. Flying enemies can be fun because they push Hornet's agile combat style, but the Swamp Squit pushes too far. It is a bad bug. Many players learn to simply avoid them, which is not a compliment to their design.

Stilkin



Another Bilewater introduction, the Stilkin hides in everything and is one of the few bugs not killed by water. It hops out of grass, dives beneath the surface, and shoots poison darts that explode. It keeps hopping. It is nearly impossible to swipe with a needle. Sinner's Road has tough enemies, but Bilewater's Stilkin are on another level of evasion and annoyance.

Pharlid



Around the Blasted Steps, Pharlids become more common. They are tiny, which makes them seem harmless. That assumption is proof of inexperience. Pharlids are like small dogs: obscenely aggressive and weirdly strong. They dash when they sense Hornet nearby, and they can climb any surface. Their mask is invincible from the front, so frontal strikes fail. They do make great bouncing platforms, though. That is the only nice thing to say.

Driznit



The Driznit is another Blasted Steps enemy with thoughtful coral-themed design. Unfortunately, that coral becomes a weapon. The Driznit appears most during platforming, which is lovely. Its coral horn follows with bizarre precision, almost like a magnet. The rebounding properties are intense, and the dart is bigger than the bug's body. Fighting them again is not on any player's wish list.

The Verdict

Silksong's bugs are not all equally awful, but they share a talent for interrupting momentum. Some steal resources, some explode, some hide, and some simply refuse to be hit. In 2026, patches and community knowledge may soften certain encounters, but the core experience remains sharp. Team Cherry built a world where every bug feels handcrafted—and some of those handcrafted bugs are absolute menaces. ?

For players still exploring Pharloom, the best advice is simple: respect the bugs. They are not obstacles to rush past. They are the main event, whether that feels fair or not.

The same patience that gets you through a Pharlid swarm pays off outside Pharloom, too. Anyone gearing up for long boss attempts knows the drill: compare before you commit, because prices on controllers, headsets, and the games themselves swing wildly depending on where you look. A few minutes of digging can easily save more than a missed rosary or two.

That is where a site like DealNest earns its keep. Instead of opening a dozen tabs and hoping for the best, you can browse curated offers in one place and find the best deal on the hardware and titles you actually want. It is a small habit, but like learning an enemy's tells, it stacks up fast.

I’ll be honest: I almost skipped Trobbio. In 2026, Hollow Knight: Silksong’s Act 2 is still packed with mandatory horrors, and an optional performer in The Stage felt like a vanity fight. But after finally cracking open the Stage Door above the Grand Bellway, I understood why Team Cherry teased this bug in pre-release trailers. Trobbio is not just a boss; he is a full theatrical production, complete with fireworks, trapdoors, and a death scene that deserves an audience.

Where Trobbio Is Hiding in Silksong

Trobbio waits relatively deep into Act 2, inside The Stage, a sub-area of the Choral Chambers within the Citadel. The fight is optional, but reaching it is not a straight line. To unlock Trobbio’s boss room, I had to get to the other side of the locked Stage Door, just above the Grand Bellway, and activate a lever.

Here is the route that finally worked for me:

Defeat the Clockwork Dancers.

Drop down into the Cogwork Core.

Navigate through the Whispering Vaults to find the right-side entrance to The Stage.

Jump up into the rafters.

Drop down on top of the golden lever and hit it.

Ride the shortcut back to the Choral Chambers.

Return to the Grand Bellway and sit on the bench.



That bench rest matters. It resets the room and gives you a clean approach to the Stage. If you skip it, you can still walk back, but the fight feels more chaotic when you enter with low health or missing tools.

How I Learned to Read Trobbio’s Flashy Moveset

Trobbio’s whole gimmick is spectacle. He throws explosive projectiles, creates explosive walls when he leaps under the stage, and tornadoes from side to side. The fireworks are not just decoration. They tell you where danger is about to spawn, and I died more than once because I watched Trobbio instead of the walls.

One important damage rule: all of Trobbio’s attacks deal two Masks of damage, but touching Trobbio himself only deals one Mask. That difference saved me repeatedly. If I could not avoid an explosive attack, I sometimes dodged into Trobbio just before the explosion or attack landed. The brief immunity after taking one Mask of damage prevented the explosion from finishing me off.

Do not try that trick during the tornado. When Trobbio is spinning from side to side, dodging into him is a bad idea. Parrying is also unreliable here; you will not get enough i-frames to avoid damage. I learned to run, jump, and wait out the tornado instead of trying to be clever.

Tools That Carried Me: Sting Shard and Curveclaw

I brought two Tools into this fight, and they changed everything.

Tool
Why it works

Sting Shard
It can repeatedly damage Trobbio if he flies into it.

Curveclaw
It lets me deal damage while flying, maintaining DPS more effectively.

I also started hitting the explosive projectiles away with my Needle. That sounds risky, but it is one of the best defensive habits in the fight. When Trobbio is underground, I positioned myself close to where the trapdoor would appear. The moment the door opened, I timed an attack and smacked the projectiles to the other side of the room. That almost guaranteed Hornet’s safety and gave me space to breathe.



The Grand Exit and the Claw Mirror Reward

After I dealt the final blow, Trobbio did not simply die. He made a grand exit. Fireworks exploded in the background as he bowed, danced around the room, thanked the crowd, got on one knee, and raised his arms while more fireworks appeared. Then he blew up in a non-damaging red explosion and dropped an item on the ground.

That item is the Claw Mirror Tool. It is a blue Tool described as the theatrical tool of a vainglorious bug. When Hornet uses the Bind skill to heal, the Claw Mirror creates dazzling light that damages nearby enemies. It is quite powerful, especially in crowded rooms, but it does not stop enemies from pushing through the damaging aura to hit Hornet and interrupt the heal. I treat it as bonus pressure, not a shield.



More important than the Claw Mirror, at least for my Act 2 cleanup, is the shortcut. Defeating Trobbio unlocks a path to the Whispering Vaults and the right side of the Underworks. That is huge for backtracking and completing Act 2 objectives. Without it, I would have to go all the way back to the top of the Whispering Vaults via the Songclave shortcut just to reach the bottom of this mandatory Act 2 area. With it, I can move through the Citadel far more efficiently.

Final Thoughts From a 2026 Silksong Player

Trobbio is optional, but he is one of the most memorable fights in Silksong’s second act. He demands patience, projectile awareness, and a willingness to dodge into danger when the math favors one Mask over two. If you are stuck, unlock the Stage Door, bring Sting Shard and Curveclaw, watch the fireworks, and treat the tornado with respect. Beat him, and you get a flashy Tool plus a shortcut that makes the rest of Act 2 feel less like a marathon. ?✨

Beating a boss like Trobbio tends to leave me wanting more of the same feeling — tight platforming, punishing but fair combat, and secrets tucked behind every wall. Silksong scratches that itch for a while, but it also sends me digging through my backlog and my wishlist for other metroidvanias that can carry me between big releases.

That search is where DealNest turned out to be genuinely useful. Rather than bouncing between storefronts and hoping a seasonal sale lines up with what I want, I check DealNest game deals to spot discounts on indie titles, DLC, and the occasional bigger release I would have otherwise passed on. It is a small habit, but it is the reason my library keeps growing without my wallet feeling it every time.

In the sprawling world of Hollow Knight: Silksong, players will encounter all sorts of grotesque and challenging bosses. Among them is Disgraced Chef Lugoli, a foul-mouthed culinary disaster who has taken up residence in Sinner's Road. Some might fancy themselves a home chef, but Lugoli takes the cake—or rather, burns it. His story is a cautionary tale of culinary ambition gone wrong, and now he's holed up in Sinner's Road, ready to fling poison at anyone who dares interrupt his pity party. This boss is a roadblock for those looking to complete the 'Great Taste of Pharloom' quest and fully clear the area. While the fight is short, the poison mechanics can make it a real nail-biter. So, here's the lowdown on how to send this chef to the great kitchen in the sky.

Where to Find Disgraced Chef Lugoli

Disgraced Chef Lugoli can be found in Sinner's Road, an area accessible via Greymoor relatively early in the game. However, players won't be able to challenge this boss until they have obtained the Faydown Cloak (double jump). Once equipped, players head through the bottom halls of Sinner's Road until they spot an area that requires a double jump to reach. This is the boss arena. The player simply rings the gong in the middle to start the fight.

Tip: Before starting the fight, it is wise to open the shortcut to the left of the boss arena and rest at the Sinner's Road Bench.



How to Beat Disgraced Chef Lugoli

After ringing the gong, two sous chef enemies will appear. These are relatively tame and can be taken down comfortably by keeping distance and darting in for quick hits. Once they're dispatched, the real fight begins.

Phase One: Poison Blobs and Butt Charges

Lugoli drops into the center of the room and immediately launches four green poison blobs. The key is for the player to stand just left or right of the drop zone—the blobs will miss. If hit by a blob, the player is immediately inflicted with poison, which must be cleared using silk before healing. So avoiding these is paramount.

Lugoli has two attacks in this phase: a butt charge that deals two masks of damage, and the poison blob attack. For the poison attack, the player should stay close to the drop zone so the arching blobs have no chance of landing. For the butt charge, the player must spot it early and dash away in the opposite direction as fast as possible.

Attack
Description
Counter

Poison Blobs
Lugoli launches four green blobs in an arc.
Stand just left or right of the drop zone.

Butt Charge
Lugoli charges forward, dealing two masks.
Spot early, dash away in the opposite direction.

Phase Two: Dive Bombing and More Blobs

After taking enough damage, Lugoli enters phase two. He moves a little faster and gains a new move: he dives under the arena surface, spits up four blobs, then emerges to throw another four. When he dives, the player should avoid the center of the arena—stand just left or right of center to dodge the blobs. This is also a good time to use tools to make short work of him when he's at his most dangerous.

Struggle through, avoid getting poisoned too often, and Lugoli will eventually fall.

Quick Tips

Always keep an eye on the poison status; clear it with silk before attempting to heal.

Use tools like Threefold Pin or Sharpdart to deal burst damage during phase two.

Don't panic when Lugoli dives—just step to the side and wait for the blobs to pass.

The fight is short, so patience and positioning are more important than aggression.



Rewards for Defeating Disgraced Chef Lugoli

The main reward for defeating Disgraced Chef Lugoli is the Pickled Muckmaggot, a key ingredient for the five-part side quest, The Great Taste of Pharloom. While players can turn it in at the Choral Chambers immediately, it is best to hold onto all ingredients until every one is accounted for.



With this guide, players should be able to send Disgraced Chef Lugoli back to the kitchen—permanently. Players should remember that poison is the real enemy here. They should stay mobile, use silk to clear status, and avoid getting greedy with hits. Happy hunting! ???

If you're the kind of player who likes to clear every boss before moving on, you've probably noticed how quickly a game library can grow—and how tempting it is to grab the next big title the moment it goes on sale. Keeping tabs on price drops across storefronts isn't always straightforward, which is where a reliable steam sale tracker like DealNest comes in handy. It aggregates discounts and price history in one place, so you can decide whether a deal is genuinely worth it instead of guessing.

That matters most when you're juggling a backlog—finish Lugoli, then check whether that wishlist game has finally hit a price you're happy with. DealNest keeps the hunting part quick, so you can get back to the part that's actually fun: playing.

In 2026, Hollow Knight: Silksong still feels like a beautiful, brutal secret. You wake in Pharloom with no map, no compass, and no kind voice telling you where to go. The game wants you to be lost. It wants you to earn every inch of ground. For many players, that solitude is the whole point. But sometimes, even a lonely bug dreams of company. ?

Elara had loved the original Hollow Knight. She had spent dozens of hours in Hallownest, dying to false knights and screaming at platforming sections. When Silksong finally arrived, she expected the same delicious isolation. What she did not expect was how much she would miss sharing the misery. She wanted someone to see the moment she finally beat a boss. She wanted someone to laugh when she walked into a trap for the fifth time. So she went looking for a mod.



She found the Silkless Co-op Mod. It was created by nek5 on Nexusmods, and it promised something strange: a way to bring a friend into Silksong. Not true co-op. Not a shared adventure where two players fight side by side. The mod lets one player join another player's game and appear on the screen. You can see each other. You can wave, maybe. You cannot interact. You cannot help with bosses in an Elden Ring-style tag team. But you can be there. ?

That might sound pointless. For Elara, it sounded perfect.

The installation process was not complicated, but it did require attention. She opened the mod page on Nexusmods. She downloaded two files: BepinEx 4 and SilklessCoop.zip. Then she extracted both into the root game folder for Silksong. On Windows, that folder usually lives at %USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight Silksong/. She double-checked the path, because one wrong folder can turn a mod into a ghost.

Step
What to Do

1
Visit the Silkless Co-op Mod page on Nexusmods.

2
Download BepinEx 4 and SilklessCoop.zip.

3
Extract both files into the Silksong root game folder.

4
On Windows, the path is %USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/Team Cherry/Hollow Knight Silksong/.

5
Right-click your friend's name on Steam to join their game.

6
Start Silksong and load your save file.

7
Press F5 to enable multiplayer functionality.

When Elara pressed F5, nothing dramatic happened. No explosion. No trumpet. Then her friend's character appeared in the distance, a little silhouette in the fungal wastes. They could not fight together. They could not open doors for each other. They could not trade items or revive each other. But they could explore the same cursed kingdom at the same time. They could see each other's deaths. They could stand together in silence before a terrifying boss gate. It was not cooperation. It was companionship. ?

The mod's creator has promised future updates. Bug fixes are planned. Sound syncing is planned. Player count status is planned. There is even talk of public servers, which would turn Silksong into something closer to a shared world. As of 2026, the mod remains a PC-only experiment, but it has found a devoted audience. Players who love Silksong's difficulty still want to share its beauty. They want to point at a distant tower and say, 'Look at that.' They want to hear a friend gasp when a new horror crawls out of the dark.

Silksong was designed to be solitary. Its lack of map and compass is not a flaw; it is a dare. The game trusts you to be lost. It trusts you to be afraid. But mods are a way for players to talk back. They can soften the edges. They can add training wheels. They can even add a friend who cannot help but can still witness. The Silkless Co-op Mod does not break the game's loneliness. It just makes that loneliness a little less quiet.

For Elara, that was enough. She and her friend did not beat the game together. They did not conquer every boss as a duo. But they shared a journey. They laughed at glitches. They got lost in the same corridors. They celebrated small victories that no one else would understand. In a game about isolation, that felt like a small rebellion. ⚔️

If you want to try it, the steps are simple. Download the files. Extract them. Join a friend. Press F5. Do not expect Elden Ring. Expect something stranger: a ghost in your game, a witness to your struggle, a silent partner in the dark. And maybe, just maybe, that is exactly what Silksong needed.

Modding is one of the joys of PC gaming, but building a library worth modding can get expensive. If you're looking to pick up Silksong, other metroidvanias, or any co-op friendly title without paying full price, keeping tabs on Steam sales is essential. That's where DealNest comes in—it offers a handy steam sale tracker that lets you monitor price drops and wishlist discounts, so you never miss a deal.

Whether you're waiting for a mod update or just want more games to share with friends, a little savings goes a long way. DealNest makes it easy to stay on top of sales, so you can spend less and play more. After all, the best adventures are the ones you can afford to keep having.

The gaming community was electrified when Nintendo officially confirmed a Nintendo Direct showcase for September 12, 2025, at 9 a.m. ET. The 60-minute presentation was scheduled just one day before Mario's 40th anniversary, leading many to expect at least one Mario-related surprise. At that time, Nintendo had already delivered a remarkable year with Donkey Kong Bananza, Mario Kart World, and the launch of the Switch 2 console. Now, as 2026 unfolds, that Direct stands as a defining moment for the company and its loyal fanbase.



One of the most talked-about titles was Hollow Knight: Silksong. Originally announced in 2019, the game became an internet meme due to its prolonged development. Team Cherry famously revealed that the delay was not caused by development troubles, but rather because the team was having too much fun creating it. For years, fans eagerly anticipated news at every Nintendo Direct, often left disappointed. The September 2025 Direct finally provided a substantial look, and shortly after, the game launched to universal acclaim. By 2026, Silksong is celebrated as one of the best-rated games of all time, dominating the indie scene and winning numerous awards.



With Silksong finally released, the spotlight shifted to other long-awaited projects. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond had been in development for over 18 years since the last mainline entry. The September 2025 Direct showcased new gameplay and a 2025 release window, which was later fulfilled. As of 2026, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has been available on Switch 2, delivering a triumphant return for Samus Aran. The game's visuals, atmosphere, and controls have been praised, and it has become a system seller for Nintendo's latest console.



Another major title featured was Pokemon Legends: Z-A. The Direct offered a deeper look at its mechanics, including Mega Evolutions and a new setting. While some fans remained skeptical, Nintendo's impressive track record in 2025 suggested the game could surprise. By 2026, Pokemon Legends: Z-A has been released and has generated a mix of reactions, though many agree it brings a fresh perspective to the franchise. Its sales have been strong, and it continues to receive updates.



For Zelda enthusiasts, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment was a highlight. The September 2025 Direct demonstrated how the game would leverage the Switch 2's power, offering improved visuals and performance. Since its release, it has been well-received, providing a satisfying blend of action and story for fans of the series.

The 60-minute runtime of the September 2025 Direct allowed for numerous announcements. The showcase was not just about reveals; it was a celebration of Nintendo's recent successes. Donkey Kong Bananza and Mario Kart World had already become best-sellers, and the Switch 2 was flying off shelves. The Direct capitalized on this momentum, offering a mix of nostalgia and innovation. Fans tuned in expecting surprises, and they were not disappointed.

Below is a recap of the key games and their status as of 2026:

The Direct also acknowledged Mario's 40th anniversary, though specific plans were kept under wraps. Throughout 2026, Nintendo has continued the celebration with special events, merchandise, and re-releases of classic Mario titles.

The aftermath of the Direct saw a surge in Switch 2 sales and renewed interest in the featured franchises. Hollow Knight: Silksong became a cultural phenomenon, while Metroid Prime 4: Beyond finally quenched a decades-long thirst. Pokemon Legends: Z-A, despite initial skepticism, found its audience. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment proved that the Zelda spin-off series still has plenty of life.

Reflecting on the September 2025 Nintendo Direct, it is clear that it marked a turning point for Nintendo. After years of waiting for Silksong, fans could finally focus on other exciting games. The showcase demonstrated Nintendo's ability to deliver on long-standing promises while building hype for the future. The Switch 2 has benefited from a strong software lineup, and 2026 continues to bring new experiences.

For those who missed it, the September 2025 Direct is now a piece of gaming history. It reminded everyone that patience pays off—and that Nintendo's future remains bright. ?

With such a packed release calendar, keeping up with every title you want can put real pressure on your wallet. Many players now juggle a Switch 2 alongside a PC library, and the steady stream of sales, bundles, and limited-time discounts across storefronts makes it easy to miss a bargain or overpay for something that goes on sale a week later. That's exactly where a tool like a steam deal finder becomes genuinely useful, letting you track price drops and historical lows so you can decide whether to buy now or wait for a better moment.

DealNest is built for that kind of patient, budget-conscious shopping, gathering discount information in one place so you don't have to hop between store pages and wishlists. Whether you're saving up for the next big Nintendo release or filling the gaps in your backlog between Directs, having a reliable way to spot genuine deals means more games for the same money.

I have a confession: I am not good at Hollow Knight: Silksong. I am stubborn, though. I have spent dozens of hours getting humbled by its platforming, its map, and its bosses. And as of 2026, after several post-launch patches, the hardest fights still feel like they were designed by someone who wanted to see me cry. Here are the ten bosses and boss-like encounters that broke me the most.

10. Last Judge Is a Mid-Game Skill Check

The Last Judge is not the hardest boss in a vacuum, but she is the hardest boss when you are still learning. She is the final boss of Act 1, and she exists to make sure you have actually learned Silksong's mechanics. Her attacks are diverse. Phase 2 sets the arena on fire, literally engulfing you in flames. When you finally win, her weapon explodes and gets one last hit in. And the runback is miserable; I lost my cocoon more than once before I even reached her. Fighting her is like trying to fold a fitted sheet during a house fire.

9. Groal the Great Is Too Big to Dodge

Groal is a waterborne frog boss in Bilewater, and he ruins an area that already ruined my day. You have limited time to hit him when he pokes his head above the water. He uses poison projectiles and a foul breath attack that pulls you inward. He bullies you into corners with his bloated body, summons adds, and his arena has swinging pendulums and poison pools. It is a geometry problem where all the angles are poisonous.



8. Savage Beastfly's Second Appearance Is Shockingly Hard

The first Savage Beastfly fight in Far Fields is relatively easy. The second one, in the already frustrating Hunter's March, is an optional boss at the Chapel of the Beast. You do not have to fight it again, but if you do, you are in for a challenge. Phase 1 uses floating slam attacks that leave it vulnerable. Phase 2 summons a number of annoying adds that exist only to distract you, splitting your attention between multiple moving targets until you lose track of the real threat. I lost that thread more than once.

7. Widow Has Quickly Become an Icon

Widow has become one of Silksong's beloved bosses for her unique design, silk-based moveset, and difficulty. You face her about halfway through Bellhart. Like Hornet, she summons silk to ensnare you and occasionally drops large metal bells on your head. The issue is phase 2, when her bell drops become less predictable and her base attacks get faster and harder to dodge. She is quick and unpredictable, and you need to heal, but you also need silk and space. That tension is the whole fight.



6. Phantom Makes Bilewater Even Worse

If you thought your first bout with Lace was difficult, wait until you fight Phantom. The two bosses share a lot: they can parry your attacks, dash across the battlefield, and perform devastating AoEs. But Phantom is tougher. They are faster and significantly less predictable. You are always too late to dodge their projectile throws, just a little too close to jump over their dash attacks. Phantom covers the entire battlefield, leaving you no safe space to cower until it is your turn to strike. Beating them unlocks Cross Stitch, an extended AoE that deals several attacks worth of damage. While in the Cross Stitch animation, you automatically parry incoming attacks. Great ability, brutal exam.

5. The First Sinner Is Impossibly Fast

Located in the hostile Slab prison, the First Sinner is among the fastest bosses in Hollow Knight: Silksong. Its main attack drops a series of massive needles on you, peppering the battlefield and leaving few safe spaces. You have to read its tell carefully and dodge in the right direction. Phase 1 also has a more generic melee combo. Phase 2 speeds up its attack patterns and unlocks a new attack, spawning exploding circle AoEs throughout the arena. This fight is all about positioning, and the boss gives you little time to get into place. It moves like a rumor in a small town: everywhere at once and impossible to pin down.



4. The High Halls Arena Is an Unrelenting Gauntlet

It is not technically a boss fight, but the High Halls arena fight deserves its spot. Arena fights are basically boss fights in multi-wave form, and this one has among the most waves in both Silksong and the original Hollow Knight: eleven consecutive phases. Just when you think you have reached the end, another wave arrives to break your streak. The constantly changing strategies and sheer length make it easy to make a deadly mistake. It is like being asked to solve a Rubik's cube while someone keeps swapping the stickers.

3. Moorwing Is Tough, But Cheese-able

Moorwing is widely considered one of the hardest boss fights in Silksong as a whole. It is another massive flying boss, and its attacks are big, bold, and difficult to dodge. It dives straight into you, slashes with its claws, and shoots deadly glowing orbs. The orbs follow strange, evolving patterns: a single bowling-ball-like trajectory along the ground, then double orbs, then a bizarre double-circling-back pattern that requires two dodges in quick succession. You can make the battle easier by recruiting Garmond and Zaza, or by attacking from above its arena where it cannot reach you. I am not above cheese.

2. Sister Splinter Was Powerful Pre-Patch

Sister Splinter was one of the first casualties of Silksong nerfs brought about by post-release patches. Her original version in the 1.0 release was incredibly difficult, to the point that many players complained in reviews. She had powerful claw attacks that dealt two masks' worth of damage each hit, a vine attack that limited your safe space, and the ability to summon Splinterbarks as adds. She was a formidable foe who left many players stuck in Shellwood. If you get past her, you unlock Cling Grip, a wall jump ability you need for remote areas. Post-patch she is more manageable, but veterans remember the original wall.

1. Skarrgard Causes New Players Trouble

Skarrgard is not even really a boss. He is a miniboss at best, without an official title drop or a proper arena. If you faced him in the late game, you would not find him that hard. He moves swiftly, and his attacks have big hitboxes, but he telegraphs his moves well and is easy enough to dodge with a full arsenal. The issue is placement. Skarrgard appears early enough to pose an impossible obstacle for most players. If you have not unlocked the dodge ability, you will get caught in his attacks over and over. He is intended to teach new players that sometimes it is better to level up and come back later than to stubbornly throw yourself at the same boss again. That lesson is more important than any single victory.

So that is my list. Silksong humbles you again and again, but that is exactly why beating these fights feels so good. If you are stuck in 2026, take a break, upgrade, and come back. The game will still be there, waiting to humble you. ?

That break might also be a good time to check out other games—whether you're hunting for a similar challenge or just need a palate cleanser. If you're watching your budget, knowing where to find discounts can make that browsing session a lot more productive.

DealNest gathers deals from various storefronts in one place, so you can quickly see where to buy cheap games and maybe discover your next obsession while Silksong takes a breather. It's a handy resource for anyone who likes to keep their library stocked without paying full price.

I've spent the last week doing something I never thought I'd do in Elden Ring: Nightreign—standing at the edge of a cliff, squinting at the minimap, and whispering, 'Please don't be a death pit.' That's the Great Hollow experience, folks. The Forsaken Hollows DLC has been out for a month and a half now, and while the two new Nightfarers and the new bosses are landing pretty well, the new Shifting Earth map is getting dragged through the mud on Steam. And honestly? I get it.

It's Not Technically a New Map, But It Sure Feels Like One

The Great Hollow is a Shifting Earth event, so it may or may not show up when you're running a DLC boss. You might get the default map or one of four other Shifting Earths instead. But unlike those other events, which usually transform one part of the map, the Great Hollow basically swaps out the entire area. No central castle. No ravine down the middle. No southern lake or northern cliffs. Instead, you get a giant crystal that looks like it crash-landed and split the land into broken cliffs and multiple vertical levels. There are ruins full of enemies, plus churches, forts, and mines scattered around. The in-game map has multiple layers, and you have to use spirit springs carefully to fall down and shoot back up. It's a lot.

The center crystal also holds a major party buff that can be clutch for the final boss. To get it, you need to find and break several smaller colored crystals around the map. Their locations change every attempt. So you can't just memorize one route and call it a day.

Why Everyone Is So Frustrated ?

Routing in Nightreign is usually a quick mental exercise. You fly in, pop the map open, and plan a path that gets your team a few extra flasks, a mine for a smithing stone, and a steady line of boss fights so you can collect runes and level up. In the Great Hollow, that plan goes out the window. There are too many vertical levels, too many map layers, and too many 'wait, can I jump down here?' moments. Add the crystal hunt on top, and you have a recipe for confusion.

But the worst part? The giant, gaping chasm running through the middle of the map. The chasm grins at you. It knows what you're about to do.

Nightreign famously has no fall damage. It encourages sprinting, leaping off ledges, and climbing cliffs. That's part of why it feels so different from Elden Ring. Over the last year, a lot of us have trained ourselves to run and jump without hesitation. Usually, that's fine. The Crater Shifting Earth has a lava pit, but it's easy to avoid. The Great Hollow, though, has a death pit that is annoyingly hard to see. You look over a ledge, think you're good, and then—whoops—you're falling to your death.

And the death fall behavior makes it worse. If an enemy kills you, you spawn back at the last Grace you tapped, and your runes are either dropped nearby or picked up by an enemy. If you fall, Nightreign seems to randomly drop you somewhere along a ledge near your death point. That could be above, below, or across from where you jumped. But your runes stay back on the ledge where you started. So you can spawn far away, with your runes behind you across a death pit, and no easy route back. It's the kind of thing that makes you put the controller down and stare at the wall for a minute.

The Steam Reviews Are Not Happy ?

The numbers tell the story. While Elden Ring: Nightreign itself has mostly positive reviews, Forsaken Hollows is sitting at Mostly Negative for the last 30 days. Only 30% of 1,347 recent reviews are positive. A lot of them are about the map.

One review says: 'The new map is poorly designed, overly difficult and boring. Takes forever to traverse... boss battle tower is a damage-sponge time-wasting chore.' Another says: 'The characters and bosses are great but the new map is absolutely horrible and is ruining the experience of the game as a whole.' A third: 'Love the bosses and new classes but the new map is just trash. There was zero NEED to add gaps in the map to kill YOU. You might as well add fall damage to the game.'

I also saw a positive review that summed it up perfectly: 'The new map is [expletive] terrible but everything's so good.'

Is It a Skill Issue, or a Design Issue?

Not everyone hates the Great Hollow. A recent Reddit thread about the Steam reviews said, 'The more I play, the more I feel like it was fantastically designed.' The replies were divided. Some players acknowledge the flaws but love the challenge. Others call it a skill issue. And honestly, I see both sides. The map is beautiful and unique. It demands a different gameplay flow and much better team coordination so you don't all end up separated and confused. But it's also hard to learn, and the only way to learn is to fail a lot. After 100+ hours in Nightreign, I'm not having the best time trying to learn new bosses, two new characters, and a new map all at once. Though, to be fair, that's kind of the FromSoftware experience.

What Works
What Hurts

Gorgeous crystal wasteland aesthetic
Multi-level routing chaos

Crystal buff is a cool risk-reward idea
Random crystal locations

Encourages tight team coordination
Hidden death pits

New bosses and Nightfarers are great
Fall death spawn/Rune loss feels unfair

What Could Fix It?

I don't think FromSoftware needs to delete the map. But a few changes would go a long way. First, fix where the game places you after a fall. If I die in a chasm, don't strand me on a random ledge with my runes across the void. Second, add a little more clarity to the minimap so I can see levels and death pits before I leap. Third, maybe make the colored crystals show up on the map after day one, so the crystal hunt feels less like a YouTube memory test. That's not dumbing it down; that's respecting my time.

The Great Hollow is a beautiful bully. It's thematically cool, visually striking, and genuinely rewarding when a team clicks. But right now, it's also a freaking chore, and the Steam reviews are trying to send a message. I'm hoping a 2026 patch smooths out the rough edges. Until then, I'll be over here, practicing, falling, and muttering, 'Please don't be a death pit.'

If the current state of the Great Hollow has you holding off on picking up Nightreign, or waiting to see whether a future patch makes the DLC worth the asking price, it helps to know when that price actually moves. FromSoftware releases and their expansions go on sale at fairly predictable intervals, but the discounts themselves are rarely advertised in advance, and bundle pricing between the base game and expansions can shift overnight without any fanfare.

Rather than refreshing storefront pages every few days on the off chance, this price tracking tool does the watching for you. DealNest monitors listings across major retailers and notifies you the moment something you're eyeing drops to a price you'd actually pay — which means you can spend your evenings practicing the new Nightfarers instead of babysitting a checkout page.
