Learn how to unlock fast travel in Hollow Knight: Silksong. Complete guide to the Pharloom Bellways system, Bell Beast boss fight, and all 10 fast travel locations across Pharloom.
Master Pharloom’s Travel Network (And Save Hours of Backtracking)
Voyage rapide dans Hollow Knight : Chant de soie works differently than you might expect, especially if you’re coming from the original game. While Hollow Knight had the Last Stag willingly helping you traverse Hallownest, Silksong’s Bell Beasts require a more… aggressive negotiation approach.
After extensively mapping Pharloom’s travel network, I’ll show you exactly how to unlock the Bellways system, defeat the Bell Beast boss, et efficiently discover all 10 fast travel points that will transform your exploration experience from tedious backtracking into strategic movement across the kingdom.
Understanding Silksong’s Multi-Layered Travel System
Three Types of Movement Enhancement
Chant de la soie doesn’t rely on a single travel method. Instead, it offers multiple transportation systems that work together:
1. Local Shortcuts
Elevators connecting major areas (like Grotte de la mousse à Fond osseux)
Unlockable passages that create permanent connections
Environmental routes opened by new abilities
2. Pharloom Bellways (Primary Fast Travel)
10 Bell Beast stations à travers Pharloom
Instant travel between any discovered locations
Requires initial boss fight to unlock the system
3. Ventrica Stations (Late Game)
Advanced travel system within the Citadelle
End-game content for final area navigation
Specialized routes for specific late-game challenges
Perspectives stratégiques :Début de partie focuses on shortcuts and local connections, mid-game opens up Bellways for major traversal, et late game adds Ventrica pour specialized movement.
