Cling Grip Ability Guide

The Cling Grip ability in Hollow Knight: Silksong lets Hornet cling to vertical walls and climb them through repeated leaps. It works much like the Mantis Claw from Hollow Knight while fitting Hornet's Weaver skills.

This ancient Weaver technique helps Hornet stick to smooth walls and push off to gain more height.

Input: SPRINT

Location: Shellwood

Cling Grip Ability Functions

• •Press against a vertical wall to make Hornet stick to it for a short time.
• •Tap JUMP near the wall to spring away and reset your position.
• •Hold toward the wall and keep tapping JUMP to chain wall jumps and reach higher ledges.

The Cling Grip ability is required for several platforming sections that demand quick climbing and wall-to-wall movement.
