Silksong Interactive Map — Act 2: Inside the Citadel
Act 2 moves the hunt inside the Citadel: the Underworks, the Choral Chambers, Songclave, the Cogwork Core, the Whispering Vaults and the High Halls, all the way up to the Cradle at the spire's peak.
This is the densest marker cluster on the Silksong map — Citadel benches, tool upgrades, silk hearts, wish board quests and the bosses guarding each floor of the spire.

Frequently asked questions
How do I unlock Act 2 in Silksong?
Defeat the Last Judge at the end of Act 1 and pass the Grand Gate. Act 2 begins as Hornet enters the Citadel's Underworks.
Which bosses guard the Citadel?
Act 2's main fights are the Cogwork Dancers, a Lace rematch, Trobbio's stage show and Grand Mother Silk at the top of the Cradle. Optional fights like Groal the Great and the Forebrothers sit off the main path.
Can I finish the game in Act 2?
Yes — beating Grand Mother Silk ends the act with the Weaver Queen or Twisted Child endings. The Void-aligned conclusions require the Silk & Soul route and Act 3.
