Lost in Hunter’s March in Hollow Knight: Silksong? Among all the sections I’ve covered in this walkthrough, I believe Hunter’s March requires detailed guidance the most. This area is notably hostile, teeming with spikes and aggressive ant foes. If you haven’t mastered Pogo-ing off enemies and surfaces yet, now is the perfect time to focus on honing that skill.
In Part 7 of our Silksong guide, I will guide you through the safest and most efficient path in Hunter’s March, starting with the formidable ant guardian in the Marrow and culminating in one of the toughest battles yet within the Chapel Of The Beast. Let’s dive in!

1. Utilize the Bellway to Reach the Marrow
Picking up right where we paused, we’re now in Greymoor, but that’s not our destination just yet. Drop almost to the bottom of the shaft and use the Bellway to fast travel to the Marrow.
2. Overcome the Giant Ant Miniboss, Skarrgard
Drop down to the ground level where the ladder ends. To your right is the path leading into Hunter’s March, but before that, drop into the hole to the prison (where you freed Grindle) and rest at the Bench there for an easy route back.
3. Pogo to the Captured Flea
Follow the path and Pogo off the red plants to reach a vertical fork. Opt for the left path, avoiding the flying ants, until you encounter a Flea held in a cage. Break the cage to release it, sending it back to its caravan.
4. Navigate East to Shakra’s Gauntlet
In the next room, Pogo up to reach the high ledge, collecting Rosary strings and defeating or bypassing any soldier ant. After the gauntlet fight with Shakra, you can purchase the Hunter’s March map for 70 Rosaries.
5. Reach the Next Bench and Disarm Its Trap
After conversing with Shakra, continue to the right into a spike-filled area. Remove the webs above to collect Silk, and evade the pressure plates to prevent swinging axe damage. Ascend with the air current until you find a Bench—be cautious, as resting there will trigger a trap!
