The world of Hollow Knight Silksong brings players into the enigmatic Far Fields, where an intriguing quest awaits, centered around the elusive Hokers. These floating, bushy enemies hold the key to acquiring the sought-after Drifter's Cloak, a significant upgrade for Hornet. This upgrade is not just a luxury—it's essential for mastering the terrain and upcoming challenges.
Tracking Down Hokers
In this quest, the Seamstress of Far Fields sets players on a task to gather 25 Spine Cores. These Spine Cores are intriguingly not looted directly from the Hokers themselves but from their weaponry—spines fired into the terrain. The Hokers can be found on the right side of the Seamstress' location, floating ominously, awaiting players' skills and patience.
Mastering the Farming Technique
To efficiently farm Spine Cores, players should adopt a calculated approach. Begin by striking a Hoker once to provoke it into firing its deadly salvo. Collect the Spine Cores embedded in the ground, and continue to hit the Hoker to repeat this process up to three times. This method not only conserves time but also maximizes the yield from each Hoker before they perish.
Once a Hoker is exhausted of its usable Spine Cores, players are advised to save and quit at the Seamstress' home. This strategic pause refreshes the enemies, allowing the cycle to commence anew, and maintaining the player's progress towards the coveted 25 Spine Cores.
The Reward: Drifter's Cloak
Successfully assembling the required Spine Cores garners the Drifter's Cloak, a core upgrade that enriches Hornet's abilities considerably. With this, players can glide gracefully and harness wind currents, transcending vertical limits to explore new realms above the Seamstress' house. This newfound ability is not just expansive but also crucial for strategies in upcoming encounters such as the formidable Fourth Chorus.
The journey to amass and utilize Hokers' Spine Cores in Hollow Knight is pervaded with excitement and requires both patience and precision. As players navigate this demanding environment, the mastery of the quest's mechanics ensues not only an augmented capability but a refreshing expansion of the universe within Far Fields.
