One moment the town was a held breath; the next, shutters banged open, and the Wishwall beside the vendor began to feel like a lighthouse ledger—small rescues recorded in neat rows, each one a light for someone else. That is where I found Crawbug Clearing in Silksong. In 2026, the route is well understood, but the Wish still has a humble charm: speak with Creige at Halfway Home Inn in Greymoor, gather 25 Crawbug Ragpelts, and help him build a scarecrow so the Craws stop harassing pilgrims. It is not a grand crusade. It is the kind of errand that reminds me Pharloom's smallest problems can bruise its biggest hospitality.
Before any of that, I had to finish Threadspun Town and lift Bellhart's curse. Once the Widow's hold broke and the citizens returned to their cheerful routines, the Wishwall next to the vendor opened up for me. I scanned the board, found Crawbug Clearing, and accepted it. The objective was clear enough: visit the Halfway Home Inn inside Greymoor and talk to Creige. If you are following my footsteps, make sure you have completed the curse-lifting chain first; the Wish will not be available before Bellhart is restored. 🕯️
At Halfway Home, Creige greeted me with the tired urgency of an innkeeper who has been losing sleep. Craws had nested on the roof of his establishment, and they had grown bold enough to attack Pilgrims seeking refuge below. Business was suffering, and so was his patience. He asked me to bring him 25 Crawbug Ragpelts so he could construct a scarecrow atop the inn. The logic was simple: give the Craws a false rival, and they might stop treating the roof like a personal fortress. I liked the plan. It was cheap, practical, and just strange enough for Pharloom.
Quest detail
What I needed to know
Wish name
Crawbug Clearing
Quest giver
Creige at Halfway Home Inn
Region
Greymoor
Requirement
25 Crawbug Ragpelts
Reward
Crafting kit expansion
Main benefit
More damage from Hornet's tools
There are two ways to collect the Ragpelts. The broader hunting ground is Craw Lake, the rightmost part of Greymoor, where Crawbugs are plentiful enough to make a slow but steady sweep. The second method is much faster for me: farm the Crawbugs directly on top of the Halfway Home Inn. The first time I heard this, I laughed. The solution was literally above the problem. Creige wanted a scarecrow on the roof, and the roof was already the best source of materials. It was a little like asking a baker to fix a leaky roof by baking more bread. 🐛
Here is the loop I used, and it worked cleanly:
Exit Halfway Home through the east entrance on the left side.
Climb the platforms right outside the inn to reach the roof.
Two Crawbugs spawn on the roof. Defeat both to collect two Crawbug Ragpelts.
Drop back down and re-enter the Halfway Home Inn.
Leave again to respawn the Crawbugs on the roof.
Repeat until the counter reaches 25.
The rhythm of that route was almost mechanical—two kills, one exit, one re-entry—and after a few cycles I stopped thinking of it as farming. It became a clockmaker's thumb testing a gear: small, precise, repeated until the whole mechanism turned. The Ragpelts piled up like dry leaves in a gutter after a storm, and before long I had the full bundle. If the respawn loop ever feels tedious, remember that Craw Lake exists as a fallback; but for pure efficiency, the inn roof is hard to beat. Just be careful on the climb and keep the fights short. Hornet's mobility makes the route quick, and the two Crawbugs are not difficult once you know where they appear.
With 25 Crawbug Ragpelts in hand, I returned to Creige. The hand-in was instant, and the Wish was marked complete. My reward was a crafting kit expansion, which increased the damage Hornet deals with her tools. That might sound modest next to a new mask shard or a fresh crest, but in Silksong, tool damage adds up. A stronger kit can turn a scrappy fight into a controlled one, and I have never regretted spending a few minutes on a Wish that makes every later scrap a little cleaner. 🛠️
What I remember most is not the reward, though. It is the image of Creige standing below his own roof, fretting over guests while the cause of his trouble scuttled overhead. Crawbug Clearing is a small story about maintenance: of an inn, of a route, of a community trying to get back on its feet after a curse. I arrived expecting a chore and left with a better sense of why the Wishwall matters. In 2026, with so many guides and routes available, it is easy to reduce a quest to a checklist. But Pharloom is at its best when even a scarecrow errand feels like a tiny act of repair.
If this small act of repair leaves you eager for the next expedition—whether back into Pharloom or into another hand-crafted action-adventure—it helps to keep an eye on what’s worth playing next without overspending. Deal less

Unlike Savage Beastfly, this fight cannot be skipped, so players must pack properly, plan the route, and brace for four phases of clockwork mischief. The good news is that the right Trinkets and Tools turn the encounter from a brick wall into a puzzle box. The bad news is that the puzzle box has blades, and it is not afraid to use them. 😅
The Prep Work: Buy the Clutch Stuff
First things first: players should build up Songclave and finish The Wandering Merchant side quest so Jubilana appears. Once she is open for business, two purchases are practically non-negotiable. The Spool Extender extends Hornet's Silk spool, giving players extra healing room when the dance gets ugly. Ascendant's Grip lets Hornet cling to walls without sliding down, and that single ability is the difference between a graceful dodge and a one-way trip to the floor. Team Cherry might as well have hung a neon sign over it; the arena makes the reason obvious fast.
Pick
Type
Why it earns its keep
Spool Extender
Trinket
More Silk for healing and panic repairs
Ascendant's Grip
Trinket
Wall clinging without the embarrassing slide
Threefold Pins
Tool
A well-timed throw can clip both dancers
Pollip Pouch
Trinket
Coats the Pins in poison for chip damage over time
The Threefold Pins are especially handy with the Pollip Pouch, because poison ticking away in the background is the quiet overachiever of boss fights. There is also a cheeky old trick: if players deliberately die during the fight and leave a cocoon behind, that cocoon can act like a free refill of Silk later. It is not elegant, but neither is getting flattened by a mechanical dance troupe.
The Route: Do Not Pick a Fight With the Reeds
The Cogwork Dancers sit west of Songclave. From the bench, players climb the wall to the left and exit above the left side of the area. The catch is a trio of Grand Reeds, some of the Citadel's most annoying enemies. The smart play is simple: do not engage. Run underneath them when they jump, keep moving, and save the ammo for the boss. If a player absolutely must scrap, poisoned Threefold Pins from range are the least painful option, though it burns resources that the dancers would love to see wasted. Patience is a virtue, and Soulslike fans have heard that sermon before. 🕷️
Phase One and Two: Wall-Hugging Is Not Cowardice
The Cogwork Dancers are polite murder machines. They telegraph nearly everything with a faint outline, almost like a turn-based RPG boss that forgot to hide its next move. Players should treat that line of movement like a no-parking zone and vacate it immediately. The first two phases work almost the same way, and the safest plan is to attack from below while the bosses are airborne. Their nastiest trick is a wire-like web that covers the arena, and this is exactly where Ascendant's Grip earns its spot in the loadout. Clinging to the middle-to-upper section of the left or right wall keeps Hornet out of the danger zone. If the wires happen to intersect with the hiding spot, players can loosen their grip just enough to slide down into safer air.
There is also a slower cheese strategy. Pick a corner, cling, and wait for a dancer to leap into range. Attack downward when the opportunity appears, then scuttle back to safety. It turns Hornet into the spider she clearly is, lurking in a corner and letting the prey come to her. It will take longer, but a patient player can make the first two phases feel almost civilized. Almost.
Phase Three and Four: The Dance Gets Weird
After the first two phases, the duo changes its routine. The dancers strut around the room, sometimes moving as one entity while one hides behind the other. They tend to act one at a time rather than together, which sounds easier until their movements become harder to predict. The wall-cling strategy still works, but players must watch the line of sight more carefully and stay awake at the wheel. Eventually, one dancer dies, and the survivor goes absolutely feral. It becomes faster, more erratic, and considerably less polite. The consolation prize is that it is weakened after losing its partner, so a few clean hits should finish the job. The finale is less a grand performance and more a cleanup operation with twitchy limbs. 💥
The 2026 Verdict
The Cogwork Dancers are mandatory, but they are fair. Pack the Spool Extender, grab Ascendant's Grip, bring the poisoned Threefold Pins, and treat the Grand Reeds like a traffic jam rather than a boss fight. Respect the tells, hug the walls, and let patience do the heavy lifting. In 2026, the Citadel still rewards players who keep cool under clockwork pressure. Bring the right gear, avoid the obvious wire web, and let Hornet do her best spider impression. The dan less
