Red Tools in Hollow Knight: Silksong
Master all Red tools in Silksong with this complete guide. Learn their attack effects, usage limits, and locations to defeat enemies efficiently.
About Red Tools
Red tools improve your attack capabilities, providing you with new ways to eliminate enemies. These weapons are generally ranged, and all red tools are limited, regenerating every time Hornet sits at a bench or rest spot, or through utilizing the Architect Crest's special ability. You will need Shell Shards to replenish these tools; otherwise, you won't be able to use them.
