Discover everything you need to know about the Far Fields walkthrough in Hollow Knight Silksong, including how to beat the Fourth Chorus boss.
Far Fields in Hollow Knight Silksong is a major region that acts as one of the early-to-mid game areas. This one is connected east of Deep Docks and south of the Greymoor area. Far Fields has distinct terrain like vertical shafts, platforms, hazards, and different unsolved puzzles.
Talk to the Seamstress and complete her quest to get the Drifter’s Cloak. Use updrafts/wind currents and defeat the Fourth Chorus boss. The region contains important quests, NPCs, map vendors, and fast-travel, so make sure to explore the world thoroughly. In this guide, we’ll discuss how to progress in Far Fields in Hollow Knight Silksong, including some tips to defeat the boss at the end.
Travel to Far Fields
Move a fair distance east into the new region, Far Fields, until reaching the Bellways or fast travel station for it. If you do not have at least 30 Rosaries, then defeat some of the humanoid foes along the way, which will drop a decent amount.
In any case, you will need to make use of both the Sprint and air dash functions of our swift step ability. This is only to get up to and stay on the upper path of this large chamber. Exiting from the top east of the chamber will lead you straight to the Bellways station for Far Fields. This region will also have a very useful bench.
Rosary Farming Spot and Bench Unlock
If you have fewer than 80 Rosaries, be sure to unlock the bench first. This allows you to use it as a checkpoint for another Rosaries farm. This is optional, but if you want more Rosaries, you can move west from the bench and back into the previous large chamber. Move along the top platforms until passing by two explosive clusters. Then, drop down and defeat the Skarr Scout to the west.
Defeating this enemy will drop 13 Rosaries. After that, move east and use the Silk Spear ability once or twice on the paired Skarr Scout and Skarr Stalker. It takes a little practice, but all 3 of these foes can be taken down fairly quickly for just over 50 Rosaries. You can then save and quit the game to quickly return to the nearby bench and repeat the process as many times as is necessary to buy whatever you need.
Obtain the Far Fields Map From Shakra
Starting from the Far Fields Bellways, you can unlock the bellway station if you haven’t already, then move out to the west. Dropping a short distance down while hugging the eastern wall will bring you to a new chamber where Shakra can be found. After getting the Far Fields Map, you can now get a much better idea of where you are and where you need to go.
Complete Hunt for the Seamstress
Moving back out to the west, you will drop down once more and then head east again. Watching out for the lava, you can platform your way east through a long chamber. After that, in the next chamber, up to the hut of the Seamstress.
Harvest the Spines
There is a free bench here to use, and speaking with the Seamstress will also get you the Flexile Spines quest. This quest is required to complete the Drifter’s Cloak. To do that, you can move out of the hut and to the chamber down and east. The enemy you are looking for is the Hokers. You will need to strike it for once and avoid the spines it shoots out. Now, quickly move around and strike the ones within our reach to harvest them.
Get Hoker Spines Cores
You will need to obtain a total of 25 spine cores. There are 3 easily accessed Hokers in this area. Some free rosaries are up and to the west of the 3rd Hoker. Likely, you won’t have all 25 Spines from just the 3 Hokers. In that case, just leave the chamber and re-enter it to have all of them respawn. Then repeat the harvesting process until you have 25 Spine Cores.
Once you have all 25 Spine Cores, you can return to the Seamstress’s Hut and turn in the Spine Cores to complete the quest. Doing so will get you the Drifter’s Cloak. This can be used to hover in mid-air, and also to ride upwind shafts found throughout Pharloom.
Defeat Fourth Chorus
Start at the hut of the Seamstress in Far Fields, just after unlocking the Cloak. From there, move west, retracing our steps back towards the Bellways station for Far Fields.
Your journey there will be interrupted by the Fourth Chorus boss, which will give you a chance to test out your new Drifter’s Cloak ability. It is useful for avoiding the boss’s horizontal swipe attacks. In addition, use it in the final phase of the fight to ride up the air streams on either side of the boss, and hit the two explosive cores.
Doing so will instantly end the boss battle. That taken care of, you can go ahead and move west, then ride up the air streams to return to the Bellways station and rest at the bench there.
