Silksong Loddie location on map and requirements

Loddie is found in The Marrow. He becomes accessible once you’ve defeated Widow, the boss that gates access to The Marrow (or after progressing far enough for the area to be safe and open to explore).

How to unlock Loddie's challenge

Approach Loddie in The Marrow, talk to him, and activate the challenge. There’s an entry cost in Rosaries. You need to have progressed far enough in the game for him to appear.

Step-by-step: how to do the challenges 1 an 2

Challenge #1: 15 hits

Step 1: Pay the entry fee

You must pay some Rosaries to start the challenge.

Step 2: Understand the miss limit

You are allowed up to 3 misses. If you miss 3 times before hitting 15 targets, you fail that attempt.

Step 3: Hit stationary or slow-moving targets first

Early hits are easier: targets may be stationary or with simple motions. Use that to build confidence.

As hits increase (especially past 10), the target moves more: waves, slow motion, teleportation between fixed points. Learn these patterns to avoid misses.

In the teleporting stage, the target jumps between fixed spots. Aim where it’s about to land rather than where it was.

Step 4: Finish once you have all 15

If you succeed, you get the first reward: a Tool Pouch Capacity Upgrade.

Challenge #2: 25 hits

Step 1: Unlock past the first challenge

You need to have completed the first challenge or progressed enough to attempt the 25-hit version. Talk to Loddie again. He will upgrade your Tool Pouch.

Step 2: Hit the target 25 times
Learn target motion phases

Early hits are simple, mid hits add wave motions, and late hits bring teleportation and erratic patterns.

Maintain concentration and timing

Since mistakes still cost you, pacing is critical. Don’t rush. Watch movement cues carefully.

Step 3: Secure the reward

If you succeed with 25 hits, you obtain a more substantial reward such as a Rosary Necklace or heavy Rosary.

Tips & tricks to maximize success

  • Make sure you have enough Rosaries before attempting.
  • Observe the target’s movement pattern without rushing.
  • In teleportation phases, aim slightly ahead of where the target is going.
  • If you start missing early, rest at a bench and retry later.
  • Keep calm—three misses end your attempt quickly.

There’s also a Dice Game with Lumble the Lucky in the Blasted Steps. Winning multiple times grants the Magnetite Dice (a Tool). It has its own timing trick, but the core idea is holding and releasing at the right moment to maximize rolls.

Summary and using Loddie rewards well

Loddie’s challenges are an excellent way to expand your capabilities in Silksong. The first challenge gives you a useful Tool Pouch upgrade, while the second offers a more resource-heavy reward. Careful timing, patience, and Rosary management are the keys to success.
