Hollow Knight: How To Get The Mantis Claw
In Hollow Knight, there are various skills that players can take advantage of. Here's how to make Mantis Claw reach new areas.
While some parts of Hallownest will be locked to you until you get the right abilities or powerful light sources, such as the Lumafly Lantern, others are readily available from the start, allowing you to gain valuable items and other rewards for exploration. One of the earliest abilities you should prioritize acquiring is dashing. Here is how to get the Mothwing Cloak in Hollow Knight.
How to get the Mothwing Cloak
Getting the Mothwing Cloak is pretty easy. First, you must have already unlocked the Greenpath area, which can be accessed through the Forgotten Crossroads. Once you are in the area and have purchased the map from Cornifer, go to the bench marked with the red circle in the image above to rest. From there, follow the red-marked path until you reach the large green circle.
Along the way you will encounter some challenging enemies known as Moss Knights. Defeating the first one you encounter is mandatory, but the rest are optional, so if you don't want the hassle, you can simply skip them. Once you reach the designated area, you'll have to face the Hornet, who isn't a particularly challenging opponent, even this early in the game. But if you fight her, see if you can get enough Mask Shards to increase the number of hits you can take. While you must kill other bosses you encounter throughout your journey, this is not the case for the Hornet, who upon defeat will flee with his weapon. Beating her will give you the Mothwing Cloak, allowing you to dash everywhere and reach new places.
