Craws in Hollow Knight: Silksong are probably one of the most annoying enemies, mainly because of their irregular flying patterns and their ability to throw multiple projectiles at the players.
During the third act, players can fight a powerful Craw boss who drops a Memento as well as a very valuable item that might seem like a decorative piece for a house, but it isn't. This guide offers information on what players need to do with the Craw Summons in Hollow Knight: Silksong.

How to Get the Craw Summons in Silksong
To get the Craw Summons, you must first access the third act of the game, after which you can progress through the main story until you reach the objective where you have to go down to the Abyss. Once you are done with the Abyss and head back to Pharloom, the possibility of the Craw Summons popping up appears. Whenever you sit on any bench in the game, there is a chance you will hear a craw noise followed by a pin being thrown on the ground with a summons attached to it.
Like previously mentioned, the location of the summons is entirely random. For example, in our instance, the summons appeared while travelling to the Shellwood Bellway Station to get rid of a void mass in the area for the Dark Heart quest.
This should ideally appear at any time while you are exploring and collecting hearts for your main objective. Still, in the case that you want to acquire it right away, you can try to exit the room next to the Bellhart bench through the Bellway Station door and re-enter again and again until it pops up. This doesn't guarantee that the item will drop, but a lot of players have found this method useful.
There is also the possibility of the summons not appearing if you have not completed the arena inside the building in Craw Lake.
What to Do With the Craw Summons in Silksong
Once you have the Craw Summons, make your way to Greymoor and head right to reach the Craw Lake. Head inside the building in the middle, and instead of going up, you will find a door downstairs that you can approach. Once you do, you will be able to give your Craw Summons, which will open the door. Head down where you will encounter the Court of Craws, followed by the Crawfather boss fight.
The Crawfather is not tough, but it can be annoying as it spawns other craws to aid it during the fight. Your best bet for the fight is to make good use of the Red tools. The 
Cogfly, 
Threefold Pin, and the 
Conchcutter are great for this fight. If you combine these tools with the Quick Sling and the Pollip Pouch, you will have a very damaging build on your hand. Your main objective will be to hold off on the tools throughout the Court of Craws fight, and as soon as it's over, use the Conchcutter on the main boss. Whenever the boss summons craws, that is your cue to use the Threefold Pin to poison everyone and hopefully get the flying ones from afar.
You can use the sides of the arena to avoid most of the boss's attacks, but be careful of the chain attack, which triggers after a few seconds and will deal a lot of damage if you get caught inside it.
How Does the Crawbell Work in Silsksong?
Once you defeat the boss, you will get the Craw Memento as well as the Crawbell up ahead. Now, both of these might look like decorations for your house back in Bellhart, and you are not totally wrong to think that. However, the Crawbell has another purpose, one which, even though this late in the game, is not beneficial, but still feels great to have as a free item.
You can put the Crawbell outside your house, and it will generate Rosaries as well as Shell Shards over time. This means that you can install it and go about your way collecting hearts and doing side quests, and the next time you visit Bellhart, simply check the item to get a lot of resources.
