As Hornet continues to explore Farom's intricate, maze-like tunnel in "The Hollow Knight: Song of Silk", the enemies she faces are not only far larger than herself, but also almost equal to her speed and agility.

Most of the time, Hornet's only way to fight back against the enemy is by relying on the Needle she trusts. The weapon wielded like a thin sword in a fencer's hand, ending battles after battle with its sharp tip.

However, when facing the most powerful bosses in "Silk Song", participating in the battle with just a "needle" inevitably makes people feel like hitting a stone with an egg. To turn the situation slightly, Hornet can find various tools and buffs to upgrade her needle blade , thereby increasing its damage, attack range and attack speed, making this deadly sting even more unrivalled.

Here are the specific locations for obtaining the Shining Needle and Hivesteel Needle to help you greatly improve your output capabilities. In addition, we have also sorted out the acquisition locations for other optional needle blade enhancement props to ensure that you can equip the sharpest and most powerful needle blades in "Silk Song".
