A Casual Player's Clean Route Through Silksong Act One

Okay, so you just beat Moss Mother, crawled out of the hole where your prison fell, and got the big questline shoved in your face: reach The Citadel. Congratulations, you have officially entered Act One of Hollow Knight: Silksong. I am writing this as a regular player in 2026, not a speedrunner, and not someone who enjoys bashing my head against optional bosses for an hour just to prove a point. So this is the clean, casual route I wish someone had handed me on day one. The goal is simple. The route is not. Silkson
