The Deep Docks can be challenging to navigate in Silksong, especially because the magma blocks a lot of the path. Many players get stuck here, not knowing how to progress. This guide details the important steps, from acquiring the map to locating important items like the Magma Bell, so you can avoid getting stuck along the way.
What to Do if You Get Stuck in Deep Docks?

With all of the magma, the Deep Docks can be difficult to move through without the right tool. When you first enter, explore right until you find Shakra. She provides a map for the area in exchange for Rosaries. Getting the map early will help you navigate the area more efficiently.
Once you’ve got the map, keep going right into the next section. You’ll spot a sign pointing downward toward a Bench. Pull the lever nearby, drop down, and you’ll find the Bench tucked away on the right-hand side. This is a good spot to save before pushing further ahead.
From there, continue to the right and you’ll eventually run into the Forge Daughter. She sells the Magma Bell for 110 Rosaries. To handle the constant magma, make sure you equip the Magma Bell. When active, it creates a brief flame shield whenever you step on lava. It doesn’t make you immune, but instead of taking two masks of damage, you’ll only lose one, giving you more room to explore without getting overwhelmed.


Next, head upward and fight through the enemies along the way. Eventually, you’ll find an explosive Magma Bell. Strike it to open a pathway that lets you move out of the Deep Docks.
