Silk and Soul
Silk and Soul is the secret wish chain in Silksong that gates Act 3, building a trap to hold Grand Mother Silk.
Silk and Soul is a Wayfarer wish from the Caretaker and the secret chain that gates Act 3. It tasks Hornet with gathering four components, the Maiden's Soul, Hermit's Soul, Seeker's Soul, and Snare Setter, to build a trap capable of holding Grand Mother Silk. Completing it requires substantial progress, on the order of seventeen Quest Points and all the Lost Fleas rescued. It is the hidden key that turns a finished Act 2 into the game's true final stretch.
