The Crawbug Clearing quest is an engaging Act 1 side mission in Hollow Knight: Silksong. During this quest, players aim to collect 25 Ragpelts, which are necessary for Creige to construct a scarecrow at the Halfway House. This scarecrow’s purpose is to ward off pesky birds that might swarm his establishment.
While the game does offer some helpful hints in its descriptions, the details can often be too vague, leading to confusion about the quest’s requirements. To assist you in navigating this task, we have prepared a detailed walkthrough.
How to Start the Crawbug Clearing Quest
You can initiate the Crawbug Clearing quest after successfully defeating the Widow boss in Bellhart, which also involves freeing the town’s citizens from a webbed captivity. This boss battle becomes accessible upon vanquishing Sister Splinter in Shellwood and acquiring the Cling Grip ability.
After overcoming the Widow, approach the Wish Board located next to the shopkeeper in Bellhart. It’s important to note that this board only appears once all citizens have been liberated from their webs.
Among the various quests listed on the Bellhart Wish Board—like My Missing Courier and Rite of the Pollip—you’ll want to select Crawbug Clearing and accept this quest.
Although you can activate the quest from the Wish Board, it truly begins when you converse with Creige at the Halfway House.
Travel to the Halfway House located in Greymoor and speak with Creige, who will explain that he requires 25 Ragpelts to complete his scarecrow.
How to Find Ragpelts in Hollow Knight: Silksong
Ragpelts are obtained by defeating specific green bird enemies in the Greymoor region. While grinding the smaller birds near the Halfway House is an option, it’s not the most efficient method, as each of these tiny green birds only drops one Ragpelt.
Instead, venture further east from the Halfway House to encounter larger bird enemies that yield more Ragpelts when defeated.
Pay special attention to two prominent green birds: one that launches projectiles and another wielding a sword. Each of these larger birds can drop up to four Ragpelts upon defeat.
Fortunately, these larger birds will respawn each time you rest at a nearby save bench, allowing for efficient farming of Ragpelts until you reach the necessary count of 25.
Once you’ve gathered all 25 Ragpelts for the Crawbug Clearing quest in Hollow Knight: Silksong, make your way back to Creige at the Halfway House and turn in the items to conclude the quest.
Crawbug Clearing Quest Rewards
Once you return the 25 Ragpelts to Creige, he will express his gratitude and reward you with the Crafting Kit Expanded.
This item is described as “a pouch for holding traps and tools, along with fine crafting implements that enhance their lethality.” Essentially, the Crafting Kit Expanded boosts the damage of your tools, enabling you to dispatch enemies more efficiently.
Throughout your adventure in Hollow Knight: Silksong, you can find up to four Crafting Kits. The enhancement provided by the Crafting Kit Expanded is reflected by the “Tool Damage”meter located at the bottom of the Tool Pouch & Crafting Kit section in your inventory. With Creige’s item, this meter will gain an additional two white circles out of a maximum of four.
