Mastering gear selection is crucial in Hollow Knight: Silksong. Unlike passive abilities, these instruments require manual activation and strategic planning due to inventory constraints. Discover how to manage your toolkit effectively.

Managing Your Equipment

Prepare your gear at resting points. When using a bench, access your inventory’s Crest section. Select desired items and activate the Equip option (Xbox: A button) to assign them to available slots marked in yellow.

Early gameplay might limit your options, but as you progress, you’ll face difficult choices about which implements to carry. The flexibility to reconfigure at any rest point helps adapt to various challenges. Documenting bench locations proves valuable – acquire cartography tools from merchants to mark these vital checkpoints on your map.

Proper equipment management enhances your ability to overcome environmental obstacles and collect rare materials. For additional gameplay strategies, explore our comprehensive guides on navigating Silksong’s challenges.
