Hollow Knight is, arguably, one of the best 2D side-scrollers of the last 10 years. It features an amazing world, challenging boss fights, and entertaining game mechanics that will put players’ skills and patience to the test. Many of the items available in the game, such as the Monarch Wings, can be used both to explore and reach new areas, and to dodge incoming attacks.

Unfortunately, many areas are not accessible until abilities like the Crystal Heart are unlocked first. Obtaining this ability can be a little tricky, but with the right sense of direction and some patience, it can become an outstanding addition to your arsenal. Here’s how to get the Crystal Heart ability in Hollow Knight.

How To Get The Crystal Heart Ability

Getting the Crystal Heart ability is no easy task, as you’ll have to follow a series of steps that start with unlocking the City of Tears and obtaining the Desolate Dive from the Soul Master. Otherwise, you won’t be able to access Crystal Peak, where the Crystal Heart ability is located. Once you’ve unlocked the Desolate Dive and made your way to Crystal Peak, you’ll have to survive the many dangers that await. These can range from workers with pickaxes, to laser-shooting creatures that make navigating through the area a challenge.

Start at the white circle marked on the map in the picture above, which is a bench where you can save your progress. Follow the red line until you reach the red circle, which is where you’ll find the Crystal Heart. You can unlock a bench that’s closer to the Crystal Heart ability, but you’ll have to defeat the Crystal Guardian boss first, and it’s honestly not worth the effort. Just be careful with the enemies along the way, and you’ll get to your destination quickly. Once you have the Crystal Heart ability, use it to return to the starting point and leave Crystal Peak. Make sure you’ve already unlocked the Mantis Claw ability, as you won’t be able to navigate through the area without it.

As opposed to other skills and abilities in Hollow Knight, the Crystal Heart ability is required to finish the game and access many of the optional areas throughout the Hallownest. On top of this, the ability makes it a lot easier to go from one place to another and can make transportation overall a lot more streamlined. Just remember that it can also ram you against spikes and other environmental hazards, so use it with caution, and if you can’t see your destination when you use it, make sure you heal first.
