Seeker’s Soul is one of the items needed to complete the Silk and Soul Wish in Hollow Knight Silksong. Thew item is used as part of the process to unlock Act 3 in the game. However, the hint to get the item is extremely vague, as you will need to go to ‘swampy area’. here’s what you need to do to collect the Seeker’s Soul in Hollow Knight Silksong.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Seekers Soul in Hollow Knight SIlksong and how to get it. Image via Gamer Guides / Team Cherry.

Seeker’s Soul Location

To get your hands on the Seeker’s Soul, you will need to complete the Bile Water region of the game. To do this, you will need to grab the Double Jump skill from the Mount Fay region of the world. This can only be done if you have the hook skill from the Underworks.

When you’re ready to go, head towards the bottom side of the Bilewater, and climb up via the Sinner’s Road route. If you managed to kill Phantom to get to Act 2. you can head to Bilewater via the Organ route, which takes you through the bottom right of the Choral region, into the Underworks and then the elevator into the organ. If not, then path through the Sinner’s Road area and make your way to Bilewater via the right pathway of the zone near the Simple Key location.

Here’s a rough idea of the directions you need to go to get to the final stint and bench before the Seekers Soul boss room coming up. Image via Gamer Guides / Team Cherry.

Once you’re into Bilewater, you will find a large vertical area that you can access via the double jump. You can now climb up all the way to reach a ledge. Note: There’s another right doorway lower down this shaft where you can get the Bilewater Map from if you don’t already have it. At some point towards the top, you can go right. It reveals a new room you can path down, and it takes you to an area that goes up, and goes down. Taking the one that goes down takes you to come collectables, tool belt improvements, and a bench, with a destructable wall you’ll want to knock down. You’ll want to get this is as its the closest Bilewater bench to the Seeker’s Soul item.

The Room

The room that you need to enter for the Seeker’s Soul is guarded by a real PITA boss. Image via Gamer Guides / Team Cherry.

Now, go up, and follow the pathway left. You’ll eventually get yourself to a village on the map. This room then locks up, and you have a few of the swamp critters to fights with their ranged attacks flying antics, and diving slaps. Once all the enemies are down, you will then spawn a boss.

The boss does a big suck as its main first phase move, along with some dashes and such. Do net get sucked into its mouth, as you have to fight to get out of the belly before your are digested and killed.

After that, the boss can phase, and spawn more adds for you to fight. He will then pawn, and become more aggressive, by chucking those explosive bombs at you that blow up on a short fuse. You can try to hit them back, but avoid the hits. There’s a bigger white attack that you must dodge too, but that appears when its getting really low health

Oh, and part way through the fight, the boss wile phase out, and a swinging trap will spawn in. The swinging trap will are from the right side of the room to the left. It’s ideal that you stand to the platforms on either the left or right to avoid being hit by the arc. Just be careful of the enemies charging into you r chucking stuff at you at this point.

As for that, its rinse and repeat. But, it’s a lot more hectic than the boss tips let on.

Once the boss is dead, the room opens back up. Move to one of those houses to the left and enter the room. Inside, you’ll find an item pickup, and then you will get your hands on the Seeker’s Soul. You’re now one item down for the Wish.
