How to Get Wanderer Crest
Head West of the Ruined Chapel in Moss Grotto
The Wanderer Crest can be found at the Bonegrave, west of the Ruined Chapel in Moss Grotto. To get there, especially early, without the Cling Grip (Wall Jump). you'll need to get the Simple Key and unlock the path to the Wormways.
Start by taking the Bone Bottom elevator and making your way all the way up. From the top, you can then dash to a bunch of cages to get to the other side and reach Wormways.
Requires the Swift Step Ability
The minimum requirement to get to the Wormways area is to get the Swift Step (Dash) from the Deep Docks area.
How to Unlock Dash: Swift Step Location
Head Down the Wormways and Into the Chapel
From the Wormways area, make your way all the way down till you fall back into the clearing of Moss Grotto. On the leftmost side area will be the Chapel of the Wanderer.
Head inside and be prepared, as there will be an ambush room waiting for you as you travel down. Once you clear the room, keep heading down until you find the Wanderer Crest.
Alternative Path Using Cling Grip and Drifter's Cloak
If you already have the Cling Grip and the Drifter's Cloak unlocked, then there's no need to use the Simple Key anymore to get the Wanderer Crest. Take the usual path of taking the elevator up and traversing through the cages using the dash ability.
But instead of heading inside the passage, make your way down the hole by clinging to the left wall and floating. You'll have to reach the rooftop of the Ruined Chapel.
From there, you can use the Cling Grip (Wall Jump) to get up from the left border wall and climb up to get to a passage that lets you through the Bonegrave.

This build for Wanderer Crest mainly focuses on enhancing the quality of life and experience when exploring each and every area of Pharloom by increasing your chance of surviving and being able to collect items more easily.
Wanderer Crest also helps with how you can explore, since their moveset is very simple to use. It also has a very fast attack speed, which lets you fill up Silk much faster, allowing you to heal more often. The jumping down attack also helps tremendously during areas with pogo puzzles.
One of the cons for Wanderer Crest, however, is that it has very short-range attacks. It may prove difficult to hit enemies, especially if they're the flying types. It's recommended that you get Longclaw as you enter the later phase of the game.
