How to Get Cling Grip (Wall Jump) in Hollow Knight: Silksong

This ability allows the character to use walls to bounce and jump further, essential for exploring vertical areas and secrets.

In Silksong, Cling Grip is found inside a hidden temple deep within the Shellwood area; you must break through a series of dangerous rooms to get there.

General Location

• Area: Shellwood
• Final destination: hidden temple that appears after/near the Sister Splinter fight arena
• Starting point: bench near the Shellwood entrance

Step-by-step Route

1. From the Shellwood bench, walk left towards the nearest room.
2. Take the lift down to the water area, then continue left to the next room.
3. Continue left again; here you will find a shaft to climb. Use pogo (bouncing) from blooming flowers to reach higher.
4. At the top, climb the platform and enter the room to the right. Follow the corridor until you find a fork, take the first right path.
5. Continue to the end of the room, climb the next shaft, then enter the first room on your right.
6. Climb several initial platforms, pass through the left arch, and use blooming flowers to pass spikes; the goal is to enter the farthest left room.
7. Pass a long corridor, descend the first few steps, then avoid enemies clinging to the wall to reach another left area. From there, climb the corridor and enter the door on the left again.
8. You will encounter a dangerous path full of spikes; once again, use the bounce from blooming flowers to pass this part.
9. Exit the dangerous room through the upper right door, jump across the gap, and you will arrive at the temple holding the Cling Grip; take the ability to gain Wall Jump.

Happy exploring and good luck obtaining the Wall Jump!
