What to know

  • Weaver doors are thematic access points tied to Hornet’s weaving-related abilities, specifically unlocked by playing the Needolin.
  • They're generally located in areas like Bellhart and Weavenest Atla, and often appear as Weaver tombs or sealed gates.
  • Unlocking them typically grants vital movement/upgrades like Cling Grip or activates new areas such as Weavenest Atla.
  • These doors often unlock deeper lore, tools, or inherent upgrades.

Here is your guide to every known Weaver (Weaver-themed) door in Hollow Knight: Silksong, complete with step-by-step instructions on how to reach and unlock them.

Weaver Door #1: Cling Grip Weaver tomb – Shellwood → Bellhart

Location & how to unlock:

  • In Shellwood, after progressing past Sister Splinter and navigating through a spiked path, you’ll come across a Weaver tomb.
  • Inspecting it rewards you with Cling Grip, a wall-cling ability essential for climbing vertical surfaces.

How Weaver Doors help you

Cling Grip is a vital tool for exploration, opening up new paths upwards or over obstacles. The Needolin door gives access to significant game progression and a more powerful Hunter Crest—enhancing your tool and combat loadout. Both doors enrich Silksong’s depth by weaving movement upgrades with world discovery.
