Hollow King: Silksong Tool Cheat Sheet
Tools in Hollow Knight: Silksong
In Hollow Knight: Silksong, tools are Hornet's primary way to gain new abilities and customize her playstyle. Unlike the charms from the original game, tools offer unique powers, upgrades, and combat options tailored to Hornet's journey. While Team Cherry hasn't confirmed that tools are a direct replacement for charms, early previews suggest they serve a similar function—allowing players to adapt their strategies and explore new possibilities as they progress through the game.
