The Wanderer’s Crest is an item that changes Hornet’s moveset in Hollow Knight Silksong. The only prerequisite for obtaining this valuable item is having a Simple Key, which can be purchased from the vendor in Bone Bottom for 500 Rosaries. If you are having trouble with the new diagonal downward slash, then this Crest is the first item you should look for.

Equipping it changes the diagonal slash to the traditional downward attack from the prequel, making pogo-jumps much easier to perform. To help you out, here’s how to get the Wanderer’s Crest in Hollow Knight Silksong.

The Wanderer’s Crest is in the Chapel of the Wanderer in Bonegrave. Once you have purchased the Simple Key from the vendor, head to the marked location on the map above to find a locked gate. You can use the Simple Key to open the door, which consumes the item. From here, head left and drop down the first hole you see on the ground. Your goal is to reach an opening in the floor in the lower right corner of the area.

Keep going down till you reach a large opening in the ground, and jump down into the room. The location is called Bonegrave, which is initially locked when first arriving in Moss Grotto. Head to the right and open a door to get an easy path back from Bone Bottom. It is recommended to set a respawn point in the town, as obtaining this crest requires winning against a few waves of enemies.

After you are done setting the respawn point, head to Bonegrave and keep going left to the Chapel of the Wanderer. Enter the building and keep going down to the right. Note that the area is full of spike traps that activate when you walk on them. Additionally, there are many small rooms in the area where you can collect Rosaries. Once you have explored, continue making your way to the lower right section of the chapel to drop down into a large, open room.

There are a total of four waves of enemies you have to defeat. Fortunately, this is one of the easiest arena fights in the game, as it includes four waves of regular bugs found in The Marrow. Here are some tips to win this fight:

Use the Silkspear ability to deal with flying enemies. They spawn in every wave, and taking them out early makes the entire fight sequence much easier to manage.
Heal only when a wave is complete; taking damage when healing disrupts the heal and consumes your entire Silk bar.
Take advantage of the downward diagonal attack to vault over enemies for better positioning.

Complete the fight, go left, and drop down to find the Wanderer’s Crest in the rightmost room. You have to interact with an object on the ground to unlock it. Now, return to the bench in Bone Bottom. Finally, equip the Wanderer’s Crest to unlock and enjoy Hornet’s new moveset.
