The High Halls represent Silksong's most demanding vertical platforming challenges, featuring towering spires that stretch high above the Choral Chambers. These elevated architectural marvels test your climbing skills with narrow platforms, precise jumps, and strategic enemy encounters. Mastering the High Halls requires patience, planning, and preferably wall-movement abilities to access all secrets and shortcuts.
