Crests are essential to change Hornet’s moveset and attacking abilities, allowing players to go for a certain build in their playthrough. Hornet starts with the Hunter’s Crest by default, which offers 1 slot for abilities and tools. It is a decent crest, which can take you pretty far in the game, and even help you complete Act 1 of the story as well. However, one thing that you will notice is that Hornet can perform pogo hits like the original game; it is because of this crest. If you want to pogo hit downward alongside charged attacks that let you gain more silk than usual, then you might want to get the Reaper Crest. In this guide, we will tell you how to get the Reaper Crest in Hollow Knight: Silksong.
Reaper Crest is one of the earliest crests that you can get in your progress. It is located within the “Chapel of the Reaper” in the area of Greymoor. It is the sixth main area that you will get to discover on your way to the Citadel. Below, you can find the details on how to get to the Chapel and get the Reaper Crest.
The Chapel of the Reaper is located on the left side of the Greymoor area. To be exact, it is above the Moorwing boss fight area in the Greymoor. Before dropping down to the boss area, you can head further left through a passage to find the chapel entrance. Here is a path that you can take from the Halfway Inn bench to reach the chapel.
Once you have reached the entrance, interact to enter the Chapel of the Reaper. Now, you will have to find your way through the chapel to reach its end and collect the Reaper Crest.
Once you are inside the Chapel of the Reaper, head down and go to the right. Climb to the platforms ahead and attack the handle above to open the door to the room above. As you enter the room, a fight with regular enemies will start. It is a sort of boss fight, which you cannot leave and must defeat the enemies coming in four waves. The first wave will have 1 scissor enemy, the second wave will have 2 enemies with sceptre weapons, the third wave will have 1 big enemy with a staff weapon, and the fourth wave will have 2 scissor enemies.
After defeating all enemies, a platform will come down. Climb up and go to the top of the room. Here, you will find the crest. Bind three times to claim the Reaper Crest. After acquiring the Reaper Crest, head left to exit through the Chapel.
After acquiring the Reaper Crest, you can equip it while resting at any bench. Open the menu and navigate to the Crest tab. Press Y/Triangle button to change the Crest, then select and accept the Crest you want to equip. The Reaper Crest lets Hornet attack hardly, gather more silk on each hit, and pogo downward like the original Hollow Knight.
Initially, the Reaper Crest offers 1 Red, 1 Yellow, 1 Blue, and 1 White slots for your tools and abilities. You can further upgrade the crest to unlock further slots.
The Reaper Crest is mainly useful for dealing more damage and gathering more silk. Moreover, it helps with pogoing downward, like the Wanderer Crest.
