Mountainous region with steep rocky terrain, elevated vantage points, and challenging vertical exploration.
Mount Fay is an Area in Hollow Knight: Silksong.
Mount Fay’s cold damages you over time; use warmth spots as checkpoints while you climb toward a major movement upgrade.
Unlock Slab access, buy the map, hit key pickups, then reach the summit for the Faydown Cloak; follow‑ups include Silkshot crafting, Mask Maker, and a Mask Shard.
From Choral Chambers, head left into The Slab and descend the route, pulling levers and breaking gates.
Rest at the lower Bench; unlock The Slab Bellway (40 Rosaries).
Backtrack up through the Guardfly room; go left past traps to the icy outside.
Quickly climb to the upper ledge, grab the Spool Fragment, and return inside.
Cross the Bellway into Mount Fay proper; clawline across rings to a warm lantern.
Meet Shakra beside a Bench and buy the Mount Fay map (40).
From Shakra’s warmth, climb and clawline to the next warm pocket above.
Watch your timer: the cold drains health once it kicks in.
Clawline and wall‑climb past the frozen lake to another warm safe spot with a Bench.
Use these warmth bubbles as progress checkpoints.
Explore the adjoining rooms and claim the Memory Crystal pickup.
Mark nearby hooks/walls for faster backtracking if needed.
Find and free the caged Flea embedded in an ice section along the ascent.
Use warmth pockets to reset cold damage on the way back.
From a high warmth bubble, wall‑jump right then launch left to the big updraft.
Ride the air to the summit, interact with the tuning fork, and play the Needolin to gain the Faydown Cloak (double‑jump, cold immunity).
Drop carefully off the right of the summit platform to a lower cave ledge.
Rest at the Bench, then use the table to craft Silkshot from the Ruined Tool (fast, piercing ranged shots).
Return to the big updraft; jump off mid‑left to a ledge and double‑jump to the next exit.
Ride the ice slide, then take the left wall hole and climb the parkour to meet the Mask Maker (optional lore; charged strike breaks mask).
Drop the ground hole, open the trapdoor, and fall back to the first Bench.
From the west room, double‑jump up the broken tower side to claim the Mask Shard.
