The Silksong Twisted Bud is an item in the game Hollow Knight: Silksong that is essential for unlocking one of the game's endings. It can be found in Bilewater, northwest of the Bellway, with the most efficient route being through the Whispering Vaults. Players must navigate through a hidden area, defeat enemies, and break through vines to obtain it. To use the Twisted Bud, players must present it to Greyroot in Shellwood after completing the Rite of the Pollip and collecting Silksong Pollip Hearts. This will unlock the Rite of Rebirth wish, which curses Hornet and affects gameplay. Players can choose to continue with the curse or seek to cleanse it, impacting the ending they achieve. It is recommended to acquire the Twisted Bud later in the playthrough to avoid frustration during Act 3.

Players in Hollow Knight: Silksong collect Pollip Hearts, which are vital for enhancing combat capabilities. These purple flowers are located throughout the Shellwood area and can be identified by their petals. To gather Pollip Hearts, players must first speak to Greyroot in Shellwood. Pollip locations: 1. Below the Sister Splinter boss room, accessed by bouncing off flowers. 2. Behind a wasp nest east of the Wall Jump ability area, requiring wall jumps and defeating wasps. 3. In the northwestern corner of Shellwood, below the Wall Jump area, reachable by gliding. 4. Southeast of Shellwood's central bench, accessed by wall jumping from an elevated platform. 5. Via an alternate route from the bell tunnels, breaking through a false wall to find the Pollip in a secret cave. 6. Requires backtracking from Greyroot's dwelling, using the Silksong Dash ability to reach the ledge. After collecting all six Pollips, players return to Greyroot to receive the Pollip Pouch, which enhances their Needle with venom for increased damage. Additionally, players should collect Silksong Pale Oil for further weapon upgrades.
