Adds RPG-style level-up mechanic
About this mod Author’s original text
Silk & Song
This mod adds an RPG-style level-up mechanic to
Silksong. By defeating enemies and completing quests,
the player can accumulate XP which increases Hornet's
level. Levels in turn increase Hornet's abilities in
various areas.
A new Wish, Silk & Song, will be added to Hornet's
list. It shows her current level, how much XP she
needs for the next level, and what perks she gets for
her current level.
Level-up Guide
Enemies
Enemies are divided into 3 groups: enemies,
minibosses and bosses.
- Enemies are generic enemies that give 1 XP.
- Minibosses are enemies that are significantly
stronger than regular enemies, but aren't quite
bosses. They give 5 XP.
- Bosses are the strongest enemies and give 10 XP.
The XP is multiplied by what Act the enemy first
appears in (with some exceptions), so Bell Beast gives
10 XP, Cogwork Dancers give 20, and Bell Eater gives
30.
Some enemies, such as muckmaggots, don't give XP due
to their low difficulty level.
Wishes
Wishes give significantly more XP than enemies, due to their
rarity, how long they take to complete, and how RPGs
traditionally give XP.
Wishes are divided much the same way as enemies. They
have 3 levels of difficulty giving 25, 50 and 100 XP,
which is then multiplied by the Act in which you would
most likely complete the given Wish. For example, the
Flintbeetles Wish gives 25 XP, but Great Taste of
Pharloom gives 200.
Most Wishes can only be completed once, but Wishes
that can be completed multiple times, such as Delivery
Wishes, count for each time they were completed.
XP Requirements
Levelling up is a slow process; each level requires
significantly more XP than the last. You can reach
level 1 as early as the first boss, but you probably
won't reach level 10 until Act 3.
You can customize this via the Bepinex menu (F1).
Perks
At each level, Hornet gets the following bonuses:
- 2.5% bonus in needle damage
- 4.17% bonus in spell/tool damage
- 0.00625 bonus in masks regenerated per second
- 0.009 bonus in Silk regenerated per second
So at level 4, Hornet will have:
- +10% needle damage
- +16.67% spell/tool damage
- 1 Mask regenerated every 40 seconds
- 1 Silk regenerated every 27.5 seconds

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
