How do you save in Silksong? You'll often find yourself in a dangerous situation in Silksong, whether you bit off more than you could chew with a group of enemies, or you simply took a wrong turn and got lost in the seemingly endless expanse of caverns Silksong calls a map. If you know how to save and use it effectively, a lot of the pain of backtracking and losing items can be averted.
With Silksong finally here, players are getting to grips with the minutiae of the sequel to one of the best metroidvania games. One of the first things you'll learn is how to save, but the nuance of that isn't evident straight away. For instance, you can use the save mechanics to facilitate a useful Silksong rosary farm, making the early game a cinch. Here's how to save in Hollow Night Silksong.
There are two main ways in which Silksong allows you to save: returning to the main menu and resting at a bench. Saving this way ensures that whatever you have on your person is safe, and you can safely back out of the game knowing it'll be there when you pop back in.
This can be useful in a few different ways. The aforementioned rosary farm can be streamlined by backing out to the menu and then loading back in, putting you at your last rest spot, with the items you gathered while out in the wild. You can also use this method to get out of any spot of bother you find yourself in - if you're surrounded by enemies and at low health, simply head to the main menu, then back into the game, and you'll be safe.
Now that you know how to save in Silksong, you can concentrate on more pressing matters, like exploring every inch of the Silksong map and beating seven shades out of every one of the Silksong bosses. Let us know how you're getting on with this year's most anticipated game over on our community Discord server - has Silksong met your expectations so far?
