The Crawfather is one of the
optional bosses you’ll encounter in Hollow
Knight Silksong Act 3. Unlike mainline story bosses, reaching him
requires a bit of luck and patience, as you’ll need a special item to unlock
his lair. Despite being slow, the Crawfather can deal devastating damage, and
his ability to summon minions makes the fight chaotic if you’re unprepared.
This guide explains the Crawfather’s location, attack patterns, and
strategies to defeat him in Hollow Knight Silksong.
Hollow Knight Silksong
Crawfather Location
To challenge the Crawfather, you’ll need the Craw Summons, a rare item with a random
drop chance. However, the most reliable method to obtain it is:
1.
Complete all Craw
entries in the Hunter’s Journal, including the Juror.
2.
Rest at the
Bellhart Bench.
If the Craw
Summons doesn’t appear, travel to a different location and restart the
game until it spawns.
Once you have it, travel to Greymoor’s Craw Lake and use the item to
unlock a sealed door at the bottom of a building. Inside, descend into the
chamber to discover the Court of Craws—and
the Crawfather boss fight.

Knight Silksong Crawfather Attacks
The Crawfather fight is divided into two
distinct phases.
Phase 1: Opening Attacks
·
Beak Slam:
Crawfather raises his robes, lets out a roar, and slams his beak multiple times
while moving forward. He is vulnerable after each slam.
·
Diagonal
Charge: Launches forward mid-air in a diagonal strike. Dodge by moving
out of the trajectory.
·
Minion
Summon: Screeches to summon Craw minions, which can overwhelm you if
ignored.
Phase 2: Advanced Attacks
·
Spike
Chain: Crawfather introduces a deadly spike-chain ability. Watch for
his leaps and roars as indicators before dodging.
·
He repeats Phase 1 moves but more aggressively,
combining them with summons.
Tips & Tricks to Beat the Crawfather
Defeating the Crawfather is about managing his
summons and exploiting his slow animations. Here are some strategies:
·
Clear
Minions First: The Court of
Craws can overwhelm you. Prioritize taking them out.
·
Capitalize
on Beak Slam: This attack leaves Crawfather wide open. Move behind him
to land multiple hits.
·
Strike
During Summons: He pauses briefly when calling minions—use this window
to punish.
·
Best Tools
& Crests:
o Witch Crest: Enhances Silk Bind for huge
burst damage against his sluggish moves.
o Beast Crest + Flea Brew: Increases
attack speed, letting you regenerate Silk faster.
o Cogfly Tool: Useful for dealing with
summoned Craws while you focus on the boss.
o Pollip Pouch & Rosary Cannon: Adds
venom and ranged damage to needle attacks.
o Fractured Mask: Grants a lifesaving
shield, blocking one fatal hit.
With patience and smart positioning, Crawfather becomes a manageable fight. Survive Phase 2’s spike chains, and you’ll come out victorious.
The Hollow
Knight Silksong Crawfather boss is an optional yet memorable
challenge. Gaining access requires persistence with the Craw Summons, but the fight itself tests
your ability to balance offense with minion control.
By learning his attack patterns, using the
right tools, and punishing his openings, you can make quick work of this
intimidating foe.
Whether you’re chasing achievements or just love tackling optional bosses, the Crawfather adds another layer of depth to Silksong’s combat.
