From this ledge on the second tower, glide down and keep heading left until you find a horizontal platform with a fan. Use the Clawline ability on the left side and then onto the small balloon above you. This will provide Hornet with ample vertical boost for reaching the appropriate height. Next, use a double jump to climb to the small, hanging wall segment.

Now, keep heading left until you come across a gap in the floor. Above this gap, slightly towards the left, is a passage above your head that leads you to Wisp Thicket. This named region does not have an area map, and as such, Hornet will have to track it just by exploring. Once you're on top, go towards the right side and hit a hanging bag to make it drop a bench.

Exploring various attractions

Use the aforementioned bench to rest, as Wisp Thicket in Hollow Knight Silksong has some exciting encounters in store for you ahead. You can head to the extreme right and perform a relatively hard platforming challenge to acquire a Mask Shard. Moving towards the middle of the region, head to the top of the area with a giant metal gate in the background to acquire a Craftmetal.
