Hollow Knight Silksong - Speak With Eva in the Weavenest Alta

When you're inside, continue down the Hallway until you reach the end of the room. Hit the glowing cores in the room to power up the facility. Once you're done, head to the elevator room that will lead you down to the basement.

Once you've entered the secret hole, just keep going until you end up in a room where Eva is. Talk to her and she'll likely give you the first Vesticrest. Note that there are certain requirements that need to be met before you can get the Vesticrest.

For +1 Blue, Unlock a total of 20 tool slots via Memory Lockets and acquiring new Crests Silk Skill slots count towards the total, but unlocking slots on the Hunter crest does not.

According to https://hollowknight.wiki/w/Category:Crests_and_Skills#Vesticrest you need 12 unlocked slots for Yellow and 20 for Blue and that the Hunter crest slots do not count, but the ones that are already unlocked in the other crests do. This tracks with my experience.
