Overview

• Team Cherry released Silksong on Sept. 4 across PC, Switch (including Switch 2), Xbox, and PlayStation with day-one availability on Xbox Game Pass.
• Shakra, found in The Marrow, sells the first regional maps and mapping tools, with a practical early setup of maps, Quill, Compass, and Bench Markers totaling about 280 rosaries.
• Rosaries function as the primary currency for benches, shops, and Bellway stations; early farming near Mosshome west of Shakra is effective, and rosary strings protect savings on death.
• Fast travel opens after defeating the Bell Beast in The Marrow, unlocking the Bellway with an initial link to Bone Bottom and optional Bellway Pins available for 60 rosaries.
• Guides are still updating key specifics: more than 40 bosses are documented, and reports on Needle upgrades differ, with one path citing Pinmaster Plinney in Bellhart after Widow and others noting quest-gated Needlesmith access.
