This list will contain the best Tools you can collect throughout Pharloom for Hornet to equip in Hollow Knight Silksong.
Tools are a major part of any build, early-game or endgame, in Hollow Knight Silksong. Naturally, some Tools will be more useful depending on your situation and the enemy you are fighting. However, some Tools tend to stand out above the rest in this game. This article will break down the five best Tools out of the bench, which you should consider using throughout your run.
Best Tools in Hollow Knight Silksong
The five best Tools in the game are as follows:
- Plasmium Phial
- Cogfly
- Flea Brew
- Fractured Mask
- Compass
1. Plasmium Phial
This Blue Tool is one of the best regenerative items in the game. Upon use, it grants you an extra temporary blue Mask. This Mask essentially works as a shield, which takes damage before allowing your normal Masks to be damaged.
Moreover, you can stack this effect multiple times as well. There is also a hidden mechanic with this item, where using it too many times in a row can cause an overdose and give you regenerative Masks. The only drawback to using this item is that it does not regenerate using Shell Shards. Instead, you must go to the Alchemist where you received it to replenish charges.
2. Cogfly
This trusty tool is a great addition to almost any player’s kit. These automated companions fly around Hornet and automatically attack the nearest enemy detected within range. Yes, you do not have to press any more buttons apart from the initial Tool usage control. Moreover, these companions will stick around for as long as they are not destroyed. Theoretically, they could fly around forever as long as they are not targeted by an enemy. Furthermore, you can use this Tool multiple times to get out more copies at the same time. This lets you focus on dodging while your summons do the damage.
3. Flea Brew
This item can be acquired quite early on and remains useful throughout the game. This item provides you with a temporary attack speed and movement speed buff. This general buff can be useful in any situation, in and out of combat. Moreover, the best part is how early you can get it by completing the ‘Lost Fleas’ Wish to find five of these lost creatures. Return to Fleamaster Mooshka after this, and he will reward you with this Flea Brew.
4. Fractured Mask
In a game like Silksong, where survival is key, the Fractured Mask is one of the strongest for this purpose. If you take a vital hit, which would kill you, the Fractured Mask instead generates a shield for you to survive. This can be very useful in a lot of conditions. Mostly, it can come clutch during boss fights, where you might need that last spurt to heal back up or land the killing blow.
5. Compass
The evergreen Compass will likely occupy the Yellow Tool slot for the entirety of your first Silksong run. Without it, most players would feel lost in the perplexing corridors of Pharloom’s various regions. The Compass lets you view your position on the map at all times. This is, without a doubt, the best Yellow Tool you get in the entire game. The only reason this would not be helpful is for some veteran player, who is perhaps attempting a speedrun or a challenge.
Those were five of the best Tools in Hollow Knight Silksong.
