Success in Bilewater hinges on wise preparation and strategic exploration. Players should prioritize obtaining a bench, a critical resting point that doubles as a checkpoint. For those facing challenges, acquiring Ascendant's Grip from Jubilana in Songclave for 350 Rosaries could prove invaluable.
Routes to Bilewater
There are two distinct routes to Bilewater: one accessible early in the game via Sinner's Road and the second, more demanding route, accessible through Songclave.
- Sinner's Road: Start from the bench located on the western edge of Sinner's Road, which connects to Greymoor. From there, travel left and ascend to the upper path, dodging enemies and spikes. Activate the lever on the right to access the upper platform before proceeding to the right. Maneuver past swinging traps and large metal cages, then descend to a breakable wall. Breaching this wall provides entry to the southwestern side of Bilewater.
- Songclave: A more challenging path, requiring Silksong Double Jump and Grappling Hook abilities, Songclave is best approached later. Begin in the central room of Whispering Vaults, moving along the right-hand path above the way to the bench and Underworks. Continue right, activating both top and bottom platform cubes to the right, then climb the lower cube to shift the upper cube left. Use your Double Jump to ascend to the ledge and wall-jump upwards. Persist through the rosary cage to reach a ceiling, then dash to uncover a hidden path on the right. Further wall-jumping leads you right, where using the Clawline reveals a hidden path below. A careful descent through sawblade traps ends your journey on the western side of Bilewater.
Regardless of the chosen path, players must brace themselves for a hazardous environment. Focus on boosting health and refining strategies before advancing to confront the area’s formidable boss.
