Clawline Ability Guide

The Clawline ability in Hollow Knight: Silksong lets Hornet throw her needle like a harpoon to cross gaps and hit enemies. Each use costs one strand of Silk, but landing the hit returns one or two strands when the follow-up needle swing connects.

This advanced Weaver move sends a Silk-strung needle forward and pulls Hornet toward it like a grappling line.

Input: HARPOON

Location: The Cauldron in The Underworks

Clawline Ability Functions

• •Press HARPOON to launch the needle forward and pull Hornet toward its resting point.
• •Attach the needle to circular hooks to hang in place until you choose to jump away.
• •Hitting an enemy deals one strike on impact and often adds a second hit from the returning needle swing.

The Clawline ability is required for certain platforming routes and helps Hornet close distance on flying targets.

How to Get the Clawline Ability
