Silksong Widow Guide: Route, Fight Mechanics, and What You Unlock

Deflecting the silk‑borne bells is the safest way to control space during the faster second phase.

Overview

  • Widow waits at the bottom of Bellhart’s northern tunnels, reachable only after crossing northeast Shellwood, defeating Sister Splinter, and obtaining the Cling Grip wall‑cling ability.
  • The safest runback uses a destructible bell wall that loops to a nearby Shellwood bench; reopen the trap door in the tunnels to drop straight into the arena.
  • The fight has two phases, with denser, faster bell patterns and more frequent scuttling slashes in phase two; bells can be struck away and deal less damage than the slash if you must choose a hit.
  • Recommended prep favors Silkspear or long‑range tools such as Straight Pin, Pimpillo, or Sting Shard, while avoiding long‑animation close‑range skills and saving resources for the second phase.
  • Victory grants Needolin, completes the Threadspun Town wish, lifts Bellhart’s curse, reactivates NPCs and needle upgrades including Pinmaster Plinney, awards the Fanatic achievement, and enables the local Bellway station.
