What to know

  • Huntress can only be found in the Putrified Ducts, inside a building over parasite-infested waters.
  • Her location is fixed throughout Silksong and does not change as you progress.
  • Meeting her begins the Broodfeast quest, involving collecting organs for her brood.
  • Completing her quest rewards you with the Longclaw upgrade, increasing Hornet’s melee reach.

Nestled deep within Pharloom, the Huntress stands out among Silksong’s cast of mysterious NPCs. Discovering her location and engaging with her questline offers both narrative depth and tangible rewards for those willing to explore the dangerous underbelly of the kingdom.

The Huntress’s exact location in Silksong

Most players encounter the Huntress in the central areas of the Putrified Ducts, an ominous region teeming with parasite-laden water and decaying architecture. She inhabits a singular suspended hut above these waters, never altering her position once discovered.

Unlike traveling NPCs, the Huntress remains in the same spot, making her relatively straightforward to revisit if you need to complete her quest in multiple sessions.

Her chamber sits among a series of decrepit, elevated buildings, requiring careful platforming to access the right structure. Look for the one with clear signs of infestation and, inside, you'll find the Huntress and her brood.

How to reach Huntress in Putrified Ducts

To find the Huntress:

Step 1

Navigate to the Putrified Ducts, a late-early area in the world of Pharloom. You’ll unlock access after progressing through the preceding zones and reaching the parasite-infested waterways.

Step 2

Explore the central paths within the Putrified Ducts. The area is full of rising platforms, suspended buildings, and pools of parasites—stay atop the structures to avoid unnecessary damage.

Step 3

Look for a series of huts hanging above the waterline. Searching the leftmost sector of the ducts generally reveals the Huntress’s residence, recognizable due to webbing and eggs nearby.

Step 4

Enter the suspended building. Inside, you’ll trigger a cutscene and be able to speak with the Huntress directly and initiate her quest.

The Broodfeast quest and rewards

Engaging with the Huntress’s dialogue activates the Broodfeast quest—a side mission requiring Hornet to collect “meats” from fallen enemies throughout the ducts. These items serve as nourishment for the Huntress’s brood, and delivering them unlocks valuable upgrades and new dialogue.

  • Completing the Broodfeast questline nets the Longclaw, allowing for increased reach with Hornet’s needle attacks.
  • Additional lore and insights reveal more about Pharloom’s ecology, predator-prey cycles, and the Huntress’s unique motherly motivations.

Part predator, part devoted mother, the Huntress is memorable for her frightening yet sympathetic depiction. Her static placement, haunting dialogue, and direct impact on combat make her a must-visit NPC for anyone serious about mastering Silksong.
