In Silksong, there are numerous platforms and perches that seem tantalizingly out of grasp as you progress.

Fortunately, this ability becomes available during Act 2, but it comes with a challenging series of platforming trials to master first. Let’s delve into how you can achieve this.

How to get the double jump – HK: Silksong

As a gamer, I discovered that to perform the double jump, I needed to equip the Faydown Cloak first. This cloak is nestled atop Mount Fay, which lies west of The Citadel, accessible via an area known as The Slab.
