The Clawline Ancestral Art is one of the most useful mobility powers you can get in Hollow Knight Silksong.
The Clawline Ancestral Art might be known by a different name for most players in Hollow Knight Silksong, that being the grappling hook. This art is particularly great as it helps you in combat and also provides a strong mobility tool.
Therefore, it becomes one of the most used Ancestral Arts in the game as soon as you acquire it. However, the process to get the Clawline might be a bit tricky if you do not know exactly where to go.
How To Get Clawline in Hollow Knight Silksong
You need to progress until Act II of the game. Once you reach the Cauldron part of the Underworks region, follow the given steps to acquire this art:
(Important Note: Having the Magma Bell equipped before you start is a wise choice, as there are many heated platforms and obstacles to cross.)
- Rest at the Bench to save your progress in case you die on the way. The path ahead is quite treacherous. From here, proceed left and make your way down.
- The entire vertical passage will be filled with various flying and grounded enemies. Slowly make your way down using the Drifter’s Cloak.
- Once you reach the bottom, proceed right and jump across some lava platforms. (Be careful, some platforms will crumble when you step on them.)
- When you reach the end of the path, start climbing up while avoiding or defeating any enemies along the way.
- Eventually, you will reach a door and a lever. Hit the lever to open the door, and proceed inside.
- Now jump across the many platforms on the way to the left. You will reach a point where you can interact and claim the Clawline.
The starting and ending points are denoted by A and B in the above image respectively.

How To Use Clawline in Hollow Knight Silksong
You can try out the Clawline in the very room where you obtained it. Make sure to test it in a relatively safer environment before actually using it. When you use this skill, Hornet will toss her Needle in the direction she is facing. The grappling hook can then pull Hornet in that direction.
Moreover, if you hit an enemy with it, it deals damage and brings Hornet up close to them. This is a great skill to keep up aggression or to evade a tricky enemy when you’re low on health.
That was everything to know about the Clawline in Hollow Knight Silksong.
