Hollow Knight Silksong: How To Get Architect Crest

If you’re looking for the Architect Crest in Hollow Knight Silksong, you’ve come to the right place. The Silkbind effect of this particular crest helps Hornet to replenish the ammo for her Red Tools. This will enable Hornet to keep attacking without needing to spend a considerable period waiting in between.

However, you can’t just spam the Architect Crest as many times as you want, since it requires Shards to use. So, you’ll have to manage those resources carefully and weigh when it’s the right time to use the Crest’s effects. In this guide, we’ll explore how you can acquire the Architect Crest easily.

How To Get the Architect Crest in Hollow Knight Silksong

You can only get to the Architect Crest after you grab the Architect Key from the Twelfth Architect. So, the pursuit of the crest involves two phases. In the first stage, we’ll take a look at how you can reach the Twelfth Architect to buy the key. In the second phase, we’ll explore how you can reach the Architect Crest location from where you purchase the key.

Reaching the Twelfth Architect

Follow the directions below to reach the Twelfth Architect:

• Begin your course at the grand Bellway and move to the left, and continue scaling the platforms. You’ll come across some minor enemies here. Once you get to a high spot, you’ll reach a wider platform that has a path to the right.

• You can identify the correct right path because there will be a circular frame with three heads. Taking this path will commence a boss fight, so make sure you are prepared to deal with a tough opponent.

• After dealing with the boss, take the elevator down. Proceed left and navigate the platforms here to finally reach a rest bench. Rest here.

• Proceed further and you’ll come across several rings hanging in the air. Using your Clawline, grapple to these rings and reach a platform with a lever. Pull the lever and you’ll find the Twelfth Architect waiting for you.

Speak with her and buy the Architect Key from her. This item will cost you 110 Rosaries. However, you can only purchase this key if you have already unlocked a certain number of Hornet’s tools. So, even if you reach the Twelfth Architect early on, the Architect Key and the Architect Crest are mid- to late-game unlocks.

Getting the Architect Crest

After grabbing the key, proceed right from the Twelfth Architect’s room. Just above her chamber is a sealed gate that you can open with the Architect Key. Climb up and then make your way left. After proceeding further, you will reach a locked door that only opens with the Architect Key. Inside this room is the Architect Crest, and you can grab it now.
