Hollow Knight- How to Find the Dash Ability/ Mothwing Cloak- Step By Step Guide
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.พ. 2025
- The dash ability is one of three abilities that are required to beat Hollow Knight. The dash ability is the first one that most players will find as it is closest to Dirtmouth (the starting location).
This video is a step by step guide showing exactly where you need to go in order to get from the beginning of the game to the dash ability known as the mothwing cloak. The map is shown often so it will be impossible to get lost with this tutorial.
In order to actually get the ability, you will need to beat Hornet, the second boss in the game. This video will not cover how to beat Hornet but will show her location. Beating Hornet is how you will get the mothwing cloak ability.
Note that you will need the Vengeful Spirit upgrade in order to reach the dash ability

Not Gonna Lie Nobody Cares
Thanks so much
You are the best! THANK YOU SO MUCH! Liked and subscribed!
Took me 20 :,)
Finally, a Hollow Knight tutorial that shows the map often enough for me to follow along. Thank you!
I have not seen much in the way of step by step guides. Im hoping this helps a few people
“He’s really easy”
My vessel begs to differ
Vengeful spirit exist use that
Cool it doesn't help tho@@gamereviews5384
@@gamereviews5384 THANK YOU
Just bought the game yesterday and I absolutely love it. Even though Hornet annoyed me, it was such a beautiful fight, how could I be mad for long? Thanks for helping us find the dash. You've earned another follower.
Thank you so much! Very much appreciated. I hope you enjoy the rest of the game. Let me know if you get stuck anywhere
your name doesn't suit you Grumpy*
SO LUCKY
it took me months and now I'm finally on hornets path
For anyone who had trouble with the miniboss like me, if you have enough soul just use vengeful spirit twice then it only takes a few nail hits
Good call
With three it only takes like two or one attacks
I’ve just started game what is nail hits
@@MrSaimAhmed519 the sword thing you use for your main attack is called a nail
@@Celentinel how do i do it
That “easy boss” already took me 5 tries ;,))
5 tries is nothing. The very last boss took me days
yeah, the very last boss is *absolutely* impossible, if you know what i mean
Same this sucks
“Yeah he’s pretty easy”
i can’t even make 2 hits...
"Yeah he's easy" I CAN'T EVEN HIT HIM WTH
First time fighting hornet
Hornet:SHHAAAH
Me:WTF LOL
Haha. She quick
HOW DARE YOU SPELL SHAW LIKE THAT
Im portuguese and when she said " CHAAA" I laugh a lot cause in portugal "cha" means "tea"
I was from fighting those two green guys for two hours and still haven’t killded them thinking that when they’re dead I would be able to go to the boss
Early on those two guys are tough. Eventually you will find upgrades to make it easier
"He's just a big softie"
Me:dies 5 times in a row
lol ye he seemed hard even in the video
Thank you for making these videos! I'm a couple hours into hollow knight- it's pretty confusing and tough at times, and these videos make it a lot easier! Especially the marking of save points and showing where you are on the map.
thank you so much man!! you helped me so much!❤❤
I wasted 2 hours finding this video, and NOW you're telling me I have to fight hornet AGAIN, for the 390752987589437609th time???
It gets easier once you have upgrades
This is gonna be my first 😭😭-
Thank you man for your tutorial. I’m new to Hollow Knight and this helped a lot
Happy to help!
I like how you always tell us how to get there without telling us how to fight the boss but you always tell us someway to find help
Me thinking that "easy boss" would be a bush bug boss but nooooo it's a tall bud with a freaking shield and sword easy for you but not for me 😭😭😭
Still loving this game in 2019 played it on ps4 just got switch a re bought it! Can’t wait for silk song
I am at about 100 hours. Between playing and recording tutorials. Super hyped for Silksong
@Gundamliam no
Is it free?(on the ps4)
Lil Bro Said "cant wait for silksong" me too Bro still waiting💀
It’s never coming out bro..
Thanks for making this guide, I don't know why I waited so long to pick this one up, but I'm heads over heels in love! Keep up the good work!
It’s such a good game. Easily in the top 5 all time for me.
@@RelyeaGaming The only game in the genre I can confidently rank higher is Castlevania, Symphony of the Night. Similar styles, but the nod must go the originator in my humble opinion. Cheers and thanks for the response!
Id like to share my greatest achievements in this game, I couldn’t of done this without you.
Ritual - defeat NKG
Dream no more - defeat the radience
Soul & shade - beat pantheon of the knight
Beat half of the gods in HOG on radiant mode
Metamorphosis- get all of the grubs
Masked- get all mask shards
Wordsoul- get all vessel fragments
Fool- defeat trial of the fool
Pure completion- finish the game w/ 112%
Blessed- acquire all charms
Ascension- collect 2400 essence
Void- get voidheart
Hope- open all stag stations
Proof of resolve- defeat hornet in kingdoms edge
Thanks, Rylea. I hope to come back with more.
Well done!
Just gotta say, the formatting of your vids is great, I was watching one where you needed the dash ability, and I thought, “ah piss, now I gotta find that” and then the thing at the top sent me to this vid
thank you very much sir... Without your help i would have wasted another 1 hour or so getting lost...
You are very much welcome. If you got lost here. I have a feeling I will see you around again soon
:-)
@@RelyeaGaming :)
That “big o’l softy” took me 4 weeks to beat
The “easy” boss is taking me already 13 times... am I doing something wrong?... -_-
You are likely just getting use to the game. You just need to play defensively.
@@RelyeaGaming used
I beat it on my first try, I really do think it depends on the player.
@@Slow_Internetwell yeah of course it does.
The title should be 'uninstall Hollow Knight speedrun tutorial '
Honestly the hornet fight was way easier than i imagined
I just kept jumping and slashing, mostly using the Ranged attack and did it in 2 tries
Me after seeing him defeat giant leaf monsters: omg how did he know that was there
Also me: haha he step in spike idot
😁
Thanks bro. Passed that entry point so many times.
Gosh shes an annoying boss. I almost got her down but started messing up my jumps due to burnout
That "easy boss" took me 87 tries
I spent two hours trying
I spend 137 times
2 tries ez boss
thank you so much for these tips, not only were they fairly easy to use, it cleared up my confusion so much. I did start like a week ago so hornet was a bit tricky for me. 😅
I would never advance in this game without this man
I just started playing Dark Hollow and your videos have helped me a lot thanks
Leaving this here for later 6:55
I love how you run by zote’s screams and walk by lol
(2:27) I actually got up there by bouncing off one of the flies there with a down slash. But after that I wasn’t able to progress since the next obstacle required the dash ability. I thought I was supposed to go there without it. Thanks!
Your welcome!
Down slash! Thank you i running around map for hours not knowing this basic move... Now is saved.
I did the samething before i watched this vid
same
I do not see myself beating this boss much less harder ones. Yet another game to put up on the shelf!
Bruh instead of waiting a little to find the nearest bench I went straight to hornet and died I 😭
Ohh no. That’s a long journey
0:06 lmao he actually jumped right in😂
Glad you liked that. Did it on purpose
@@RelyeaGaming still responding after 6 years, im impressed also thanks allot
yes i can now do a down slash and ur videos are really helpful, thank you for all the tips and tutorials. You deserve more subs :)
Happy to help. Thank you my friend
@@RelyeaGaming how do you do a down slash
@@jack_640jump and attack down
Really love how you got us there and ended it before doing the fight
I’ll let you figure that out
This video really helped me a lot thanks!
Glad it helped! Sorry for the latr reply
Thank you! The Moss Knight is annoying, I did the wait until he tilts his sword before he attacks, then avoid his slash and hit him while he doesn’t have his shield up. Thanks for showing me that I can hop on his head to kill him lol!
I'm a bit late to hollow knight and these vids are really helpful especially when you show the map
Literally on my 3rd playthrough and EVERY TIME I can’t find Hornet. Either way the mustache is gone again just as it was in this video
"we are basically going to the left"
Me: dude i leaved that area bcus i couldn't beat hornet
She is a required boss. I hope you were able to do it
@@RelyeaGaming i already killed the hollow knight now
Realy good made video. That's exactly what i wanted. Thanks a lot.
thanks there is a room that I didn't see when I was playing and now I know where to go :)
Thanks so much i was able to beat hornet on my second try thanks to this video
Thank you for the guide man, It was really helpful!
Your very much welcome. Thank you for the comment
For the guy blocking the path to greenpath, I noticed that I could stop it attacking by hugging it as soon as it spawned a minion. That way, I could focus on just one thing at a time
This “easy miniboss” has killed me 7 times and every time I heal he throws stuff at me and takes away that life immediately
I got the game today and I was kinda stuck
And then I watched this video
Thanks :D
great video, keep up the great work dude
Your videos are super helpful and you're very chill. I look forward to checking out your streams. Thanks man, keep up the great work!
Thank you and appreciate the kind words
Love this playlist, thanks man.
Your very much welcome! I’m glad your enjoying
Me who died in greenpath and my ghost is so far away from the nearest save: guess it's enough for today
Honestly these walkthroughs rock
At this point I thought whole night was way too hard I'm watching you this tutorial after I've beat the game now I love it but I definitely think that the pantheon of hallownest is way too hard
PoH was Crazy hard. I imagine that most players will not be able to do it even if they wanted to
These are so helpful, man!
Your very much welcome welcome. Thank you for the feedback
@@RelyeaGaming No problem. I especially like that you do it live. Something about it makes it easier to understand and more genuine
When I first made videos I use to record first, do rough edits then add voice afterwards. It took so much extra time and didn’t flow very well. Doing it live sounds so much better and is easier to follow
Thanks so much for these videos. I just discovered this game last weekend. I’m not much of a gamer, I’ve always been into old school Mario and stuff like that so things like first person shooter games make me crazy. I was trying to find a game that my 10 year old son and I could play together that isn’t some crazy violent thing or dreadfully boring like Minecraft (he likes it I hate it)- hence hollow knight! We, however, have been getting stuck every now and then and have really appreciated your videos! We try not to use them if we can help it but sometimes we need them!! Thanks again :-)
I am very glad that I have been able to help you and your sun out. Tell him I say hello! There are some parts of this game that will be VERY hard but with some practice I think you guys will get it. I hope you have fun.
dude this is so helpful! thanks so much!
You are very much welcome. Let me know if you get stuck anywhere
Great guide thank you I was stuck
Happy to help. let me know if you get stuck in other places too
Heyy man you did it again. You saved my day.
This "easy" boss is a great way to see how far I've come in my anger management..
I’m just getting into hollow knight and I’m proud that I beat her in three try’s the first two I got stomped but the third I got hit twice and destroyed her
Jesus Christ I keep trying to unlock abilities except they require other abilities and I have to go to a new video
Great video, thank you very much. It was very easy to follow, but if I may leave one suggestion: timestamps of key spots, please. I am not denigrating your video at all though, I think this is among the best videos to follow along with.
This isn’t the first time I got that suggestion. I just haven’t had time to add time stamps to a pinned comment as of yet
@@RelyeaGaming well, it's not a big deal. Your video helped immensely, so thank you again.
2:25 I got stuck here lol
Thanks for the tutorial
It happens. Glad I could help!
You can do all this, or ignore the first half and position a mosquito by where you first see hornet, jump, hit the mosquito with a down swing and make the jump.
Hi, I'm Brazilian, thank you so much for helping me, I was having difficulties without the dash
Happy to help! Greeting from the states
Thank you so much , super helpful
Thanks now I know where to go to get it
Thanks!
No problem
Thank you for explaining the shadow when you die. I did not get that. Especially losing the geo.
That’s your Shade.
It’s essentially your soul that after you die, floats around and stuff.
If you kill it it gives you your Geo back and your masks.
This video HELPS ME ALOTT , THANKSSSS
Your welcome!
Fun fact- you can get through the baldur without vengeful spirit. If you shadeskip to salubra (because you wont have the dash) you can get longnail. But, it's REALLY hard, time consuming and expensive because the long nail charm is kinda expensive. So, I don't recomend it. Also, you can use the vengeful spirit skip to get to hornet early.
Tysm man lol i saw her when i first went to greenpath and i was kinda wondering how to fight her.
That savespot was so important!
I love how he ignored zote screaming
Thanks for the guide dood I was really hating this game and giving dead cells the majority of my 2D time but with your help I'm finally progressing and enjoying
Once you get through a couple of tough spots I think you will fall in love with this game
How do you get the ability at 0:41??
this really helped thanks
Thanks this was very helpful
You are welcome
2:35 bro needed a moment to rage 😭
4:55 "and that is the boss were gonna end up fighting"
HER NAME IS HORNET HOW DID U NOT KNOW THAT
She is literally gonna be your protagonist in the second game and she is a big part of the game
(and whoever reads this please do not hate on this i get really annoyed when someone doesnt know something obvious)
Thank you this was really helpful but the boss itself takes concentration
Subbed for this
You're the 🐐! Thank you
Thanks! I accidentally lost her and couldn’t find her afterwards
In order to get this, you need this first. But to get that, you will need this other thing that has 5 requirements 😅🔫
This is the nature of a metroidvania. At least I have a playlist that shows all the abilities in order 😁
@@RelyeaGaming Your playlist is the only thing that's kept me playing. Frustration levels are very real haha.
How to find the moveing cloak:Fight with Hornet
Nailed it
i like how he says we need a specific ability and then he says we need something else in order to get that ability as well and then we have to go watch another video to know what to do like he cant just add the short lil part to get the ability in the video
great video but upsetting amount of ads that I have to continually rewatch as I put my phone down to play
I’m sorry about that. I don’t control the ads or ad placement. I just turn them on because I spend SOOO much time making content. I treat this like my second job. One where people can demonetize at any moment.
Let me know if you get stuck anywhere or if there is anything I can do to help make your game time better
So many people say the miniboss was super hard but I beat it first try with two masks left
The steroid mosquito on the other hand…
Dang it that fight was optional
same the steroid mosquito was hard
why does bro look like an absolute chad
9:48 Warn us that there are mobs down there! I just cornered myself and died cause I didn't know they were there
Just lost 1k coins to the “easy boss”
😅😅😅😅😅
relyea thx for the heart im a kid its my first one :)
I’m glad I could give you the first one. Let me know if you need more help in hollow knight. I have made tons of videos
at around 2:30 minutes, you can make the jump, but it requires a nail pogo off of the little flying bugger, and it's really hard, and usually I just end up killing them accidentally....
Thank you for the video it really helped!
Also one question? I can't deal damage to enemy when I jump on their head? It deal damage to myself? Btw Im playing void heart edition
everybody: "GOSH HORNET IS SO HARD!!"
me: **beats in in 2 tries**
Tell me your secrets
