By David Smith In Hollow Knight: Silksong, Hokers are a unique enemy to locate. They often inhabit specific regions, lurking in shadowy corners. Players should explore diverse environments carefully. Pay attention to their patterns and behaviors for a better chance of finding them. Discovering Hokers can enhance your gameplay experience significantly.
Trying to find Hokers in Hollow Knight: Silksong is key to kicking off the Flexile Spines quest from the Seamstress in her balloon at the Far Fields area. You’ll need to gather 25 Spine Cores from these creatures, and trust me, it’s a bit of a challenge.
Where to Find Hokers
Locate the Hokers by heading right from the Seamstress’s balloon into the next area. The first Hoker will be above the initial platform. These floating faces are not just for decoration—they shoot spikes at you when you attack them, which is exactly what you need to collect Spine Cores.
Tips & Tricks for Farming Spine Cores
- Attack First: Hit a Hoker to make it launch its spikes in different directions.
- Collect the Cores: Strike the spikes when they embed into the floor or walls. This action transforms them into collectible Spine Cores.
- Repeat: Keep attacking and collecting until the Hoker is defeated. You can score multiple Spine Cores from each Hoker.
Best Farming Location
Once you’ve taken down the first Hoker, keep moving right. There’s a room with several Hokers, making it an ideal spot for farming. Once you drain that area of its Hokers, simply exit and re-enter to respawn them. Rinse and repeat until you’ve bagged all 25 Spine Cores.
After You’re Done
After collecting the Spine Cores, head back to the Seamstress. She’ll craft you the Drifter’s Cloak, which is essential for using wind pillars to escape the Far Fields.
Additional Tips
- Avoid Damage: Be cautious while attacking Hokers as they can damage you. Try to dodge their spikes while you’re collecting them.
- Timing Matters: The timing of your attacks can increase how many Spine Cores you collect per Hoker. Try to hit as soon as the spikes are fired.
- Know When to Leave: If you’re running low on health after farming, don’t hesitate to teleport back to safety before returning to farm more.
Good luck out there, and enjoy your adventure in Silksong!
