Crests are a key collectible system in Hollow Knight: Silksong, functioning as modular loadouts that shape Hornet's combat and movement abilities. Each crest provides a distinct base moveset that modifies your needle attacks, silk techniques, and mobility options.
Crests also determine how many and which types of Tools and Silk Skills can be equipped, allowing you to tailor your build by boosting damage, adding elemental effects, or unlocking new traversal mechanics.
