How to Obtain and Use the Craw Summons

"The Craw Summons is a tradeable item in Hollow Knight: Silksong, obtained after completing the Dark Hearts quest. It unlocks access to new areas and encounters, particularly at Craw Lake."

Overview

The Craw Summons is a tradeable item in Hollow Knight: Silksong, described as a scrawled message on a worn black cloth. This item can be exchanged with certain NPCs or merchants in Pharloom for rewards, services, or valuable resources. Tradeable items like the Craw Summons are often traded for Rosaries (the game’s currency) or Shell Shards.

How to Acquire the Craw Summons

You can obtain the Craw Summons by interacting with a pin that appears after sitting at a bench, typically following the completion of the Dark Hearts quest. Some players report receiving the item simply by accepting the quest, while others mention that having specific journal entries for Craw enemies—such as Squatcraw, Tallcraw, and Craw Juror—may be necessary. The item is most commonly found during Act 3, and reloading the game after saving at a bench (especially the Bellhart bench) can trigger its appearance.

How to Use the Craw Summons

The Craw Summons is used at Craw Lake, where you must present it to a figure behind a door. Doing so will unlock the door and grant access to a new area or encounter, such as the Crawfather fight.

Additional Tips

  • The exact requirements for obtaining the Craw Summons may vary, but defeating and logging all Craw enemy types in your journal increases your chances.
  • If the item does not appear after benching and reloading, ensure you have completed the necessary journal entries and are not sitting on the bench when you reload.
  • The item is essential for progressing through certain areas and unlocking specific encounters in Pharloom.
