In Hollow Knight: Silksong, crests serve as key modifiers for combat mechanics. The Wanderer’s Crest allows Hornet to adopt movement patterns reminiscent of the original protagonist, enhancing familiarity for returning players. This guide outlines its acquisition.
Locating the Wanderer’s Crest in Hollow Knight: Silksong

The artifact resides within the Chapel of the Wanderer, west of Bone Bottom. Access requires navigating the Wormways via a Simple Key-locked door near Mosshome. Essential upgrades include Drifter’s Cloak and Swift Step for traversal.


From Mosshome, navigate left past hanging cages to locate the sealed passage. After unlocking, venture downward through hazardous caverns featuring falling debris. Continue descending through moist environments until reaching an underground lake, then proceed westward.

The Chapel contains multiple combat encounters against Pilgrim enemies. Upon defeating these foes, descend to the structure’s lowest level. A wrapped corpse in the eastern chamber holds the Crest – interact to claim it.


Once obtained, equip the Crest at any resting point to enable classic movement abilities. This transformation significantly alters combat dynamics, offering nostalgic gameplay elements from the franchise’s roots.
