Defender's Crest

Defender's Crest is a Charm in Hollow Knight. It spawns damaging clouds around the Knight.

Usefulness
The clouds are not very powerful and have very little range, making it situational. Useful when fleeing enemies, as the clouds will linger behind the Knight and damage pursuing enemies. It can be very useful during both Broken Vessel and Lost Kin fights since the cloud can kill the Infected Balloon in only one tick, so the Knight can focus on the boss and win precious healing time. It also damages Oomas, triggering their explosion. As such, it is best to use caution when traversing these areas with this charm equipped.

Costing only one notch, it is most effective when used with one of the other charms listed below, as it greatly increases their power.

Wearing Defender's Crest unlocks extra dialogue with Elderbug, White Lady, Relic Seeker Lemm, Dung Defender, Leg Eater, Tuk, and Divine. Additionally, it unlocks the following interactions:
 * Leg Eater will give a 20% discount on his items and repairs
 * Relic Seeker Lemm will refuse to barter
 * Tuk will give a free Rancid Egg

How to Acquire
Reward from defeating Dung Defender in the Royal Waterways.

Trivia

 * Wearing it attracts small flying bugs in some areas.
