In Hollow Knight: Silksong, tools are equippable items that grant a wide range of offensive, defensive, and utility abilities, allowing you to customize your playstyle to suit your preferences. Tools are equipped in crest slots, which determine both the number and color of tools you can use at once.
There are 51 tools in total, divided into three color-coded categories, and some of them can be upgraded to enhance their effects. As you progress through the game, you can expand your tool capacity by upgrading your pouches.
- 18 Red Tools – Primarily offensive items with limited uses that often need to be replenished at benches.
- 21 Blue Tools – Mostly defensive or utility items, either passive or activated.
- 12 Yellow Tools – Focused on exploration and support, offering benefits like map assistance or resource management.
