Ascendant’s Grip in Hollow Knight Silksong is one of the useful tools that Hornet can use during her journey. Unlike many of her other tools that you find while exploring different sections of the map, you can purchase Ascendant’s Grip from one of the merchants. The tool can help make traversal and platforming much easier. Since the game has a plethora of those sections, you’ll want to grab this tool as early as you can. In this guide, we’ll look at how you can do that.

You can buy the Ascendant’s Grip tool from Jubilana for 350 Rosaries. There’s no other way to obtain this item, since you can’t find it lying around anywhere or as a drop after defeating an enemy. It’s also worth noting that you don’t have access to Jubilana’s shop from the beginning.

Instead, you’ll need to complete the Wandering Merchant wish to unlock her as a trader. You can only accept and complete this wish during Act 2 of Hollow Knight Silksong. After you complete that quest, you can find Jubilana in the Songclave region of the game.

Jubilana doesn’t just sell the Ascendant’s Grip. You can also purchase the following items from her:

  • Sample Key for 650 Rosaries
  • Mask Shard for 750 Rosaries
  • Rosary String for 80 Rosaries
  • Spool Extender for 720 Rosaries

How To Use Ascendant’s Grip in Hollow Knight Silksong

Ascendant’s Grip is a special tool that allows Hornet to hold onto walls while she’s in free fall. Many situations in the game require her to scale up walls, and one wrong move could send her plunging to her demise. In these cases, having the Ascendant’s Grip tool means that Hornet will be able to grab onto a nearby wall while falling, giving her a second chance in the platforming section.

Since you can hold yourself in place on walls, this tool can also enable you to time your movements in sections where there are enemies or spikes above you. Hornet can cling to the wall and wait for the enemy or spike to move away before she proceeds forward. It’s a very handy tool to have in your possession.
