The road

  1. One thorough file

    Play to the Cradle doing Silk and Soul on the way; take Weaver Queen and Twisted Child there first (below); snare Grand Mother Silk; finish act 3 with everything. That covers every trophy but Speedrunner, and Speed Completion if the file runs past thirty hours.

  2. Back to the Cradle

    Weaver Queen is the same fight without the snare. Take it before you snare her: after that ending, loading the file puts Hornet back at her last save point, but after the snare the first three endings are gone from that file.

  3. A cursed ending

    Twisted Child needs Greyroot’s curse from Shellwood carried to the top. It needs no second file: after the ending, loading puts Hornet back at her last save point, and Infestation Operation then cures the curse.

  4. The speed file

    Speedrunner is credits under five hours. Speed Completion is 100% under thirty on a file, which a second, informed run can do.

Not required

  • Steel Soul itself has no trophy on the PlayStation list (Xbox and Steam have Steel Soul achievements); A Vassal Lost is a wish in that mode, and the Summoned Saviour is the boss you only meet there.
  • The 52 PC achievements are the 34 trophies plus firsts and mode variants; nothing on PC needs a third file.

Still to verify

Cross-checked on 17 September 2026 and re-checked on 25 September 2026 against Game8’s trophy list (34 trophies: 16 bronze, 12 silver, 5 gold, platinum; 52 achievements on PC), the Steam 100% achievement guide, TheGamer and the Hollow Knight Wiki. What is still unverified is the only thing reading cannot settle — nobody here has played it.
