How to Get the Shaman Crest in Silksong (Best End-Game…

There are seven crests in Hollow Knight: Silksong, although only six of these can be acquired during the game's first two acts. The last and arguably best of Silksong's seven crests, the Shaman Crest, can only be acquired in Act 3, and only after players have acquired the Silk Soar ability down in the depths of The Abyss.

The thing that makes the Shaman Crest so ridiculously overpowered is that it allows Silksong players to equip three different Silk Skills at a time, helping them to tear through bosses like a hot knife through butter. When paired with blue tools like the Volt Filament, the Shaman Crest becomes even more deadly.

How to Get the Shaman Crest in Hollow Knight: Silksong

As mentioned above, players will need to have unlocked Hornet's Silk Soar ability before they can get the Shaman Crest. Assuming they've already done so, they should head on over to the Bone Bottom Bellway and then make their way to the left until they come to the hole with the 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.

Once inside the Ruined Chapel, players should head to the far right and stand in front of the lore marker, then 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 will propel 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.

Eventually, players will drop down into an area with a destroyed statue. Standing in front of this will allow them to hold down to claim, after which, they'll then just need to tap the Bind button a few times to unlock the Shaman Crest. To begin with, it only has three white slots unlocked, but by using a couple of Memory Lockets, players can unlock two blue slots. If they haven't already done so, they can add a yellow slot and one additional blue slot by getting the two Vesticrests from Eva in Weavenest Atla.
