Hollow Knight: Silksong offers extensive environments where players must delve into all areas of the map to uncover hidden routes, which might lead to collectibles and tools. In addition to exploration, tools can also be acquired through certain vendors by exchanging Rosaries and Craftmetal. The Scuttlebrace is a tool obtainable in the second Act of the game. Here’s how players can locate it and its functionality in Hollow Knight: Silksong.
Upon reaching the second Act and navigating through the Underworks, players will enter the Citadel. Here, it’s essential to proceed to the left side of the map. Eventually, you will encounter an elevator that necessitates the White Key for unlocking. Head to the top right section known as Songclave.
In Songclave, you can obtain the White Key and ring the bell at the First Shrine, transforming Songclave into a hub with many NPCs and quest initiators. Return to the elevator and descend to access Whiteward. Following this, a pivotal segment of the main storyline will require you to head down towards the eastern area of the Underworks to find your next ability, Clawline.
After acquiring the Clawline ability, return to the nearby bench in the Underworks where you will hear an NPC’s dialogue. Ascend and use the harpoon on the grapple point, then dash to the right, entering the Twelfth Architect’s Workshop. In this location, you can converse with the NPC and buy the Scuttlebrace Tool for 140 Rosaries and 1 Craftmetal.
The Scuttlebrace is a distinctive Yellow Tool, enabling players to execute quick retreats in a manner akin to a spider’s movement. To activate the Scuttle, utilize the RT/R2 button on a controller or press the down button and C on a keyboard. Importantly, holding down the button allows Hornet to cover a considerable distance and even traverse walls.
Adjusting to this Tool will require practice, but once you master the technique, you can effortlessly escape perilous situations, moving quickly like a spider.
