Hollow Knight: Silksong – Mastering the Ruined Tool

Let’s break down how to repair the Ruined Tool in Hollow Knight: Silksong—it’s trickier than you’d think! Instead of glaring at the Forge Daughter for a fix, you can restore it at three distinct spots. Each choice leads to a unique version of the Silkshot, which is like a silk-firing weapon.

This guide will walk you through your options, and I’ll throw in some tips and tricks to help you decide which Silkshot to take into battle.

You can find the Ruined Tool in Weavenest Murglin in Bilewater

Where to Find the Ruined Tool

First up, grab the Ruined Tool located in Weavenest Murglin, southeast in the Bilewater region. After that, you can choose one of three repair spots, each giving the Silkshot unique features:

  1. Forge Daughter
  2. The Twelfth Architect
  3. Mount Fay (DIY repair)

Remember, each one offers a different shooting style, whether you want single shots, bursts, or a laser!

Repair with Forge Daughter

Repair with Forge Daughter

  • Properties: A large single projectile, akin to a shotgun blast.

Most players will naturally gravitate towards the Forge Daughter in Deep Docks. This version gives you a powerful single shot that slugs enemies down hard but might feel a bit slow.

Repair with The Twelfth Architect

Repair with The Twelfth Architect

  • Properties: Fires a three-shot burst in an ascending pattern.

Like fast-paced action? Head over to The Twelfth Architect in the Lower Underworks. To find this location, unlock the White Key near the First Shrine, ride the elevator down, or travel through Bilewater. This version is great for rapid-fire lovers!

Repair it Yourself on Mount Fay

  • Properties: A railgun beam that requires charging.

If you feel crafty, you can repair the Ruined Tool yourself on Mount Fay. Just drop off the right side and head inside for a powerful, high-damage beam. Plus, it’s cheaper—no Rosaries needed!

So, which version reigns supreme?

The Mount Fay railgun variant comes out on top! It dishes out hefty damage and uses only one silk for each shot—unlike the others that burn through resources quicker. If you prefer straightforward play, definitely opt for this choice.

Tips & Tricks for Mastering Silkshot

  1. Map Navigation: Get familiar with your surroundings to access the repair spots faster.
  2. Resource Management: Keep an eye on your silk and Rosaries, particularly if you’re using Forge Daughter and The Twelfth Architect.
  3. Experiment: Don’t hesitate to switch up your strategy and test each version to see what fits your playstyle best.

Now, gear up and dive into Hollow Knight: Silksong with confidence!

Working out how to repair the Ruined Tool in Hollow Knight: Silksong is more complicated than it initially seems. Though you might have assumed that you could just take the item to Forge Daughter to get it fixed up, you can actually repair it in three different locations, giving you three potential versions of the Silkshot tool that it grants you. This tool is effectively a silk gun, firing projectiles at enemies, but the nature of those projectiles changes depending on which repair method or vendor you pick. Below, I’ll go through all three Silkshot options and where to find them, plus I’ll explain which I think is the best. Remember, you can only choose one version of Silkshot, so decide which you’d prefer before rushing off to Forge Daughter.

You first find the Ruined Tool in Weavenest Murglin in the southeast of the Bilewater area and can then repair it in three possible locations to get the Silkshot tool—essentially a Silk gun you can use almost like a Silk Skill. However, repairing the tool in different locations changes its properties, such as its projectiles, damage, and ammo.
