Hollow Knight Silksong: What Are Crests? Explained

Hollow Knight Silksong is without a doubt one of the most anticipated games in the 2020s, and Team Cherry has finally released their next title. 

Silksong introduces several new mechanics that players will want to familiarize themselves with, one of which is Crests.

Here's what they are, and how they work in Hollow Knight Silksong. 

Hollow Knight Silksong: What Are Crests? Explained 

Team Cherry has been keeping the majority of Silksong under wraps for years, and with the game finally released, it's nothing short of a challenging improvement on its predecessor. 

Silksong differs from the original Hollow Knight in many regards, and the way Hornet can differentiate her combat from the Knight is one of the main changes. Crests are going to be at the helm of this, as they're essentially a loadout for Hornet.

We mean this in the sense that each Crest you unlock will offer unique movesets for Hornet, alongside different setups for Trinkets, Tools and Charms. 

In total, there are seven Crests in Hollow Knight Silksong, and players will be able to find them throughout the game, located in 'Temples' hidden throughout Pharloom.
