In Hollow Knight Silksong, Craw's Summons are one of the most important secret items for players seeking to complete the game 100%. Despite appearing to be just a key, they are indispensable for accessing a hidden area in Greymoor, where an optional boss is hidden. Acquiring this item is no simple task, as its release depends on specific actions and also a bit of luck.

Craw Summons are directly linked to the Craw creatures, typical enemies of the Greymoor biome. To unlock the item, you need to register each variant of these enemies in the Hunter's Journal and complete stages involving special missions. Below, you can see how to obtain and use the Summons.

How to acquire Craw's Summons in Hollow Knight Silksong

Craw's Summons are related to four enemy variants: common Craw, Squatcraw, Tallcraw, and Craw Juror. All must be registered in the Hunter's Journal for the item to be unlocked. The most difficult variant to find is the Craw Juror, which only appears in Act 3, accessible after completing a series of missions known as Wishes. At this point in the journey, Hornet also needs to face challenging enemies, including the powerful Grand Mother Silk.

After recording all variants in the journal, the player must rest at a bank located in Bellhart. At this point, Craw's Summons are automatically granted as a reward. This is the most reliable method of obtaining the secret item, although there are reports of players only managing to do so after restarting the game or changing locations to force the event to activate.

There is also the possibility of obtaining the item without facing Craw Juror or Grand Mother Silk. In some cases, simply filling out the first three entries in the journal and resting at the bank will be enough to see if the item appears. Otherwise, it will be necessary to fulfill all the requirements.

How to use Craw's Summons in Hollow Knight Silksong

Craw's Summons have a single function: to open the path to the arena of the secret boss known as Crawfather. The entrance to this confrontation is located in Craw Lake, a hidden area in the Greymoor biome.

To get there, the player must use a bench to access the area and proceed to the far right of the map. In this area, there is a cabin that leads to a door with a hole-shaped space where Craw's Summons must be inserted. Once the passage opens, the player reaches the Crawfather's lair, where the boss battle takes place, which is an essential requirement to achieve 100% progress in Hollow Knight Silksong.
