  • How to Claim All Crests and Their Purpose in Hollow Knight: Silksong

    How to Claim All Crests and Their Purpose in Hollow Knight: Silksong

    In Hollow Knight: Silksong, crests are a key mechanic shaping how you explore, fight, and move around. Each crest provides a different set of moves, tools, and special effects, making them stand out in Pharloom’s most dangerous and isolated regions.

    Every time you find a new crest for the first time, you’re likely to want to try out its unique features. No crest is strictly better than the others, so each one offers something for different playing styles. If one crest doesn’t suit you, trying another might help sharpen your skills and discover what works best for your hunting approach.

    What Are Crests?

    Crests are special templates that influence various game mechanics. Learning what each crest does is vital for your success. Essentially, crests affect:

    • Your moveset
    • Your ability bindings
    • The types and slots of tools you can equip

    You can view and change your crests anytime while sitting on a bench. To do this, access the Tools menu, then press the button indicated on the bottom left of your screen to open the crest menu and switch between them.

    While a crest is active, you can unlock additional tool slots by using Memory Lockets. Hold down the interact button over a locked slot to use a Memory Locket and permanently unlock that slot.

    All Crest Effects

    There are seven crests, each with distinct movesets, load-outs, and effects. Major aspects like binding skills and pogo directions are important considerations when choosing a crest to leave a bench with.

    Crest Red Slots Blue Slots Yellow Slots Silk Skill Slots Charge Attack Damage Flintslate Damage Pogo Direction Moveset Changes Special Effects
    Hunter 2 2 2 1 58/70/76 88 Diagonal N/A Successive attacks boost damage on Needle attacks.
    Beast 2 – 2 1 52 78 Arc (Multi-Hit) Short-range claws, devastating appearance Attack heals with each successful hit during a short window; attacks deal more damage during binding.
    Reaper 2 2 2 1 65 100 Down Wider attack areas Attacks generate more silk after binding.
    Wanderer 1 2 3 1 52 78 Down Faster attacks Shorter nail; critical damage possible with 9+ silk stacks.
    Architect 3 2 2 – 65 100 Down (Multi-Hit) Spinning corkscrew moves Binding creates tools.
    Witch 2 3 – 1 102 156 Down (Multi-Hit) Wide silk arc; charge attacks hit multiple times Binding heal explodes to deal damage and restore health.
    Shaman – 2 – 3 42 N/A Diagonal Generates short-range projectiles Silk Skill damage greatly increased, but binding requires being on the ground.

    How to Obtain Each Crest

    You unlock each crest by completing specific challenges or exploring certain areas. Collecting all seven will earn you the achievement “Consumed,” and provides versatility in handling various challenges.

    • Witch & Shaman crests are ideal for boss fights.
    • Architect is useful against groups or multiple enemies.
    • Wanderer & Reaper are great for widespread exploration and long trips between benches.
    • Hunter serves well as a reliable all-rounder.

    It’s recommended to unlock all crests to see which suits your playstyle best, keeping in mind that flexibility can be a game-changer.

    How to Get the Beast Crest

    Early in the game, in Hunter’s March, on the far right above Deep Docks, you’ll find a hidden chapel. Inside, guarded by the formidable Savage Beastfly, this crest is yours once you defeat it. Be prepared for a tough fight, but winning grants access to the coveted Beast Crest.

    How to Get the Reaper Crest

    Easily located during normal exploration in Greymoor, just above the Moorwing fight on the far left side, this crest requires no fights. A simple platforming ascent will lead you to a chapel. Reaching it before the Moorwing fight is recommended, as its pogo boost makes that fight easier.

    How to Get the Wanderer Crest

    This crest is in a remote part of Bonegrave, away from all fights. After acquiring Cling Grip, head to Bone Bottom, take the elevator up to Moss Home, and follow the route to the Chapel of the Wayfarer:

    1. Head west toward Wormways.
    2. Drop down instead of exiting at the Wormways, use Drifter’s Cloak to glide left across ledges.
    3. Climb the wall and continue west to a lake.
    4. The chapel is on the west side of the lake. Opening the shortcut door on the east side is wise in case of enemies.

    How to Get the Architect Crest

    Found in the Underworks of the Citadel, just above the Cauldron area, the Twelfth Architect sells the Architect’s Key for 110 rosaries, provided you have enough red tools to barter with. Use the key to unlock the door above the Twelfth Architect to claim the crest.

    How to Get the Witch Crest

    This is the most complex crest to obtain, requiring you to finish the Pollip Heart quest in Shellwood. After that, you must locate the Twisted Bud in Bilewater and bring it to Greyroot’s home, infesting you with a parasite. This process prevents healing and may impede Silk Skills, but it unlocks interactions with NPCs and ultimately allows you to access the crest.

    How to Get the Shaman Crest

    Accessible only during Act Three, it requires descending into the Abyss with Silk Soar and reaching the Ruined Chapel where the Snail Shamans are. Use Silk Soar to navigate through hidden paths and find a breakable wall concealed behind what seem to be dead ends. Inside, the crest awaits at the very end.

    Upgrading Your Crests

    Progressively, Eva can enhance your crests, boosting their effects. These upgrades typically require rosaries and are accessible at the Weavenest Atla, located in Moss Grove. You need to disable the Twisted Bud infection first and reach her chamber to gain her blessings, including increased attack power and tool integration.

    Once all crests are gathered and upgraded, you can return to Eva, accept her final wish, and receive the Sylphsong. This ability allows passive Silk regeneration at benches, similar to the Blessing from Salubra in the original game.

  • Skepticism Surrounds ‘Hints’ of Life on Distant Planet

    Last month, astronomers excitedly revealed they might have found one of the strongest indicators of extraterrestrial life on a remote planet, sparking hope that humanity could soon discover we’re not alone in the cosmos.

    However, several recent studies analyzing the same data have concluded that the evidence isn’t strong enough to make such bold claims, with one scientist suggesting that the researchers may have acted prematurely.

    The discussion centers on the planet K2-18b, located 124 light-years away in the Leo constellation.

    This planet is thought to orbit at the right distance from its star to allow for the presence of liquid water, making it a key target in the hunt for life beyond Earth.

    Recently, astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope made headlines by reporting the possibility of detecting the chemicals dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) on K2-18b.

    These substances are produced solely by life forms like marine algae on Earth, leading to their classification as potential “biosignatures” indicating the presence of life.

    Led by Nikku Madhusudhan from Cambridge University, the team expressed caution about the “hints” of biosignature detection, noting that they were not asserting a definitive discovery.

    The results reached a three-sigma level of statistical significance, which still leaves a three in a thousand chance that the findings could be a coincidence, according to Madhusudhan’s comments at the time.

    Biosignatures ‘Disappear’

    Two of Madhusudhan’s former students, Luis Welbanks of Arizona State University and Matthew Nixon of the University of Maryland, have since reanalyzed the original data.

    Using alternate statistical models, they found that “claims of potential biosignature detection disappear,” according to their preprint study released online late last month.

    In one analysis, Welbanks and colleagues expanded the range of possible chemicals to 90 from the initial 20.

    Over 50 chemicals showed potential signals, Welbanks reported to AFP.

    “When you find signals for everything, did you really find anything?” he posed.

    They are not claiming that DMS isn’t present on the planet, just that further observations are necessary, Welbanks clarified.

    Healthy Scientific Debate

    Madhusudhan welcomed the ongoing discussion, reinforcing that maintaining an open mind is a vital part of the scientific process.

    “These kinds of arguments are constructive,” he told AFP.

    His team recently released a new preprint study that raised the count of potential chemicals to 650.

    Among the most “promising” chemicals they identified were DMS, though not DMDS, which had been a major part of the previous announcement. The other two identified substances were diethyl sulfide and methyl acrylonitrile, the latter being toxic.

    Madhusudhan acknowledged that these lesser-known chemicals are probably not “realistic molecules” for a planet like K2-18b.

    Welbanks noted that “in just a month — without any new data, models, or lab results — the entire analysis shifted.”

    Closer Than Ever

    Astronomers observe distant exoplanets as they transit in front of their stars, allowing for analysis of how molecules obstruct various wavelengths of light passing through their atmospheres.

    Recently, a paper led by Rafael Luque at the University of Chicago combined the Webb’s near-infrared and mid-infrared observations of K2-18b, finding “no statistical significance for DMS or DMDS.”

    Another earlier study by Oxford astrophysicist Jake Taylor, utilizing a basic statistical test, also failed to find strong evidence for any biosignatures.

    Madhusudhan dismissed that latter research, arguing that it didn’t take into account the complexities of physical phenomena.

    He expressed his continued confidence in his team’s findings, stating he felt “just as assured” about the research as he did a month ago.

    Additional data concerning K2-18b will be collected over the next year, providing a clearer picture, Madhusudhan added.

    Even if the planet is confirmed to have DMS, it doesn’t necessarily indicate life; the chemical has also been found on lifeless asteroids.

    Nevertheless, many researchers believe that space telescopes may one day gather enough data to identify alien life from a distance.

    “We are closer than we’ve ever been” to such a revelation, Welbanks remarked.

    “However, we must adhere to established frameworks and build our case reliably instead of rushing to conclusions, as seen in this instance,” Nixon emphasized.

  • A Simple Favor 2 Director Denies Blake Lively Film Is Canceled

    A Simple Favor 2 Director Denies Blake Lively Film Is Canceled

    Director Paul Feig Confirms Release for A Simple Favor 2

    Director Paul Feig is confident that audiences will have the opportunity to see A Simple Favor 2, the sequel to his 2018 film starring Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively, later this year. Speculation regarding the movie’s future arose when a user named Eric B. shared a Twitter thread alleging tension between Kendrick and Lively, as well as Lively’s purported reluctance to promote the film due to her ongoing legal issues related to her collaboration with It Ends With Us director Justin Baldoni, which supposedly led Amazon to place the sequel on indefinite hold.

    Responding to these claims on his X account, Feig stated, “This is total BS. Sorry. The movie is finished and coming out soon. Don’t believe anything you read on social media these days.” When the thread’s author challenged Feig by questioning why Amazon has not announced a release date or promotional plans for a film that completed filming in April 2024, Feig explained, “My friend, it’s called post-production, which generally takes over half a year at least.”

    “Our post schedule always had us finishing everything by mid-January,” he elaborated. “Movies don’t come out the second they’re finished because studios spend considerable time determining the best release date. We’ve always aimed for something in the spring or summer of this year. That’s how movies typically operate. I hope this clarifies things.”

    The original A Simple Favor received favorable reviews upon its release in September 2018, earning nearly $100 million worldwide against a reported budget of $20 million. Despite its success, a sequel was only confirmed in early 2022. If A Simple Favor 2 is indeed released as Feig indicates, nearly seven years will have passed between the two films. Feig returns to direct the sequel, co-written by Laeta Kalogridis and Jessica Sharzer, who also penned the original.

    Kendrick, Lively, and fellow cast members Henry Golding, Andrew Rannells, Bashir Salahuddin, Joshua Satine, and Ian Ho will reprise their roles in the sequel. The plot details remain under wraps, leaving fans to speculate whether it will be as twist-filled as its predecessor. Nevertheless, Feig reassures fans that they should not be concerned about the sequel’s progress.

    In addition to dispelling the rumors, Feig took the opportunity to provide some enticing details about A Simple Favor 2, stating that it is “coming soon” and expressing his excitement about the film: “The movie is awesome, and Blake and Anna turn in amazing performances. I can’t wait for you all to see it.”

    You can currently stream A Simple Favor on Netflix, while the sequel does not yet have a confirmed release date.

  • James Gunn Denies Claim That Some Characters Are Too Niche

    James Gunn Denies Claim That Some Characters Are Too Niche

    For over a year, excitement has been steadily growing surrounding the new DC Universe crafted by James Gunn and Peter Safran. Although the franchise, inspired by DC Comics, has yet to officially launch, that moment is on the horizon with the debut of Gunn’s animated spin-off series, Creature Commandos, set to premiere on December 5 on Max. However, Gunn is already facing criticism from some comic book enthusiasts and moviegoers while also addressing specific concerns.

    The co-CEO of DC Studios recently responded to a fan on Threads who expressed unease about Gunn endorsing projects centered around lesser-known characters like Sgt. Rock and Swamp Thing. The fan claimed it appeared that the DC Universe was being created solely for dedicated comic fans rather than the broader audience. In his response, Gunn emphasized, “Don’t put Swamp Thing in the corner. That’s a project in development we’ve actually confirmed. He is a highly recognized character with some of the greatest comics in history, along with a successful film series and his own TV show—something true for only a handful of DC characters.”

    Furthermore, Gunn defended his choice to forgo revisiting the origin stories of Batman and Superman, succinctly stating, “I’m not retelling Batman and Superman’s origins because everyone knows them.”

    With a track record of bringing lesser-known comic characters to the forefront, Gunn achieved this notably in 2014 with Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. DC Studios is currently working on multiple projects that aim to highlight less recognized comic book figures, including Creature Commandos, The Authority, Booster Gold, and the recently announced film directed by Luca Guadagnino, featuring Daniel Craig as Sgt. Rock.

    It is important to note, however, that equally significant projects are in development at DC Studios featuring more iconic characters. These include Superman, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, The Brave and the Bold, Swamp Thing, and Lanterns. Films focusing on the Teen Titans and popular villains like Bane and Deathstroke are also in the pipeline.

    Considering all this, it appears that Gunn and Safran are committed to creating a diverse portfolio within the DC Universe, striving to balance both widely recognized and obscure characters. Only time will reveal if their strategy will resonate with audiences, but it’s hard to critique their approach before the release of any DCU films or shows.
