Finding every crest location in Hollow Knight: Silksong is a fairly elaborate task, but you'll definitely want to grab a new one as soon as possible so you can get rid of that annoying diagonal downwards attack. In fact, one of the first crests you can grab, Wanderer, actually gives you the original Hollow Knight moveset, which is definitely intentional for those who aren't getting on with the Hornet's Hunter crest.
As you progress through the game, you'll find all sorts of crests which change your moveset, but also grant you a special ability when you bind. Some, like the Reaper crest, will create extra silk when you attack enemies post-binding, while other crests like the Beast or Witch, will let you lifesteal from whoever you're fighting.
