Hollow Knight Silksong: Mastering the Shaman Crest in 2026

Among the seven crests in Hollow Knight: Silksong, six can be acquired during the first two acts. The seventh—the Shaman Crest—is a late-game treasure that only appears in Act 3, and only after players have obtained the Silk Soar ability from the depths of The Abyss. This crest is widely regarded as the most powerful of the bunch, and for good reason: it allows Hornet to equip three different Silk Skills simultaneously, turning her into a veritable tornado of steel and silk. To put it in perspective, it’s like giving a concert pianist three extra hands, each playing a different melody that somehow harmonizes into pure devastation. Or, if one prefers, imagine a chess grandmaster who can make three moves at once—bosses never stand a chance. When paired with blue tools like the Volt Filament, the Shaman Crest becomes even more deadly, as the added electric damage synergizes beautifully with rapid-fire Silk Skills.

Before players can claim the Shaman Crest, they must have unlocked Hornet’s Silk Soar ability. Assuming that prerequisite is met, the journey begins at the Bone Bottom Bellway. From there, players should head left until they come to a hole with a ray of light shining down on it. Once there, they can drop down and head inside the doorway to the Ruined Chapel on their left.

Inside the Ruined Chapel, players should head to the far right and stand in front of the lore marker. Then, they need to use Silk Soar by holding down together with the harpoon button (S on PC, L2 on PlayStation, LT on Xbox, or L on Switch). This action propels Hornet through the ceiling above her, allowing her to carry on to the right. From here, it’s a simple case of following the path, while being sure to destroy the three breakable walls using slash attacks along the way.
