Crystal Heart
The energy core of an old mining golem, fashioned around a potent crystal. The crystal's energy can be channeled to launch the bearer forward at dangerous speeds.
Function	Super Dash / Flight
Location	Crystal Peak

Crystal Heart is an Ability in Hollow Knight. Abilities are upgrades which impart various effects and skills that help The Knight traverse and interact with the environment in new ways. Unlike Spells, Abilities do not use SOUL or any other resources, but some may have short cooldowns or require resetting before being available for use again. The Crystal Heart allows The Knight to perform a charged Super Dash which sends them flying through the air in a straight line, granting them the ability to cross huge gaps and chasms across Hallownest.

Hollow Knight Crystal Heart Function & Usage

The Crystal Heart imparts the Super Dash (sometimes referred to as the Crystal Dash) ability to The Knight, allowing them to fly horizontally through the air at great speeds after a brief charge-up. Once obtained, it can be used by holding the Super Dash button/key to charge up and then release to initiate flight.

• The Super Dash has infinite range and the Knight will continue moving forward until interrupted by damage or colliding with the environment.
• The Knight can cancel flight by jumping or by pressing the Super Dash button/key again.
• The Super Dash can be initiated from the ground, as well as while clinging to a vertical surface using the Mantis Claw.
• The ability has a charge-up time of ~0.8 seconds.
• The Super Dash deals 10 damage on contact. Any enemies that can be killed with this amount of damage will not damage the Knight nor interrupt their flight.

How to Obtain the Crystal Heart in Hollow Knight

The Crystal Heart is found in an old mining golem in the central-eastern section of Crystal Peak, past a platforming section.

• Getting to Crystal Peak and the golem requires the Mothwing Cloak, Mantis Claw and Desolate Dive abilities.
• The Lumafly Lantern is also recommended to get through the unlit sections of Crystal Peak.
