Hollow Knight Silksong: Coral Tower and Crust King Khann Walkthrough

So, here I am in 2026, still thinking about the Coral Tower in Hollow Knight: Silksong. If you’ve been playing since launch, you know exactly what I mean when I say this place tested me more than any relationship ever has. You’ve accidentally set the end of the world in motion—don’t worry, we’ve all done it—and now the Old Hearts quest is pointing you toward a towering underwater hellscape in the Sands of Karak. I’m here to walk you through the whole brutal thing, because trust me, you’ll need a friend for this one.

Before you even think about climbing this tower, let’s talk preparation. I cannot stress this enough: fully upgrade your needle before attempting the Coral Tower gauntlet. If you show up with a dull needle, you’re basically bringing a toothpick to a war. The good news? This is a memory fight, which means you don’t have to re-craft your tools every single time. Spam those things like there’s no tomorrow.

Preparing for the Fight

Crests

Everybody has their own preference, but the Crest of the Wanderer carried me through the entire tower. The attack speed is honestly absurd, and the way I deal with the shorter reach is by equipping the Longclaw tool. Problem solved. If you prefer a tankier build, go with something that gives you more survivability, but for me, speed wins every time in these cramped arena rooms.

Silk Skills

For skills, I paired Sharpdart with the Volt Filament
