Hollow Knight Silksong Fourth Chorus Boss Fight Guide
The Fourth Chorus is the boss that blocks your path out of the Far Fields in Hollow Knight Silksong. This fight is more of a puzzle than a brawl, and you need to use the arena itself to win. With the right timing and the Drifter’s Cloak, you can turn the fight in your favor and crush this massive foe.
How to Reach the Fourth Chorus
You find the Fourth Chorus on the lowest path of the Far Fields. To get here, you must already have the Drifter’s Cloak from the Seamstress, since it is required for both reaching the arena and completing the fight.
Fourth Chorus Attack Patterns
Platform Smash
The boss raises his hand straight up before slamming it down. This destroys the platform under you and drops you toward the lava. Keep moving and jump away when he starts the motion.
Wide Swipe
He holds his arm outward, then sweeps across the platform. Jump to avoid being knocked back. You can use the Drifter’s Cloak to glide for extra airtime.
Ceiling Slam
He slams the roof repeatedly, causing fiery rocks to rain down. Watch the falling shadows and move carefully to avoid getting hit.

How to Beat Fourth Chorus
The fight begins with surviving his platform-breaking attacks. Strike his face whenever you can to stagger him. When stunned, he crashes onto the platform, restoring the arena and leaving himself open to heavy damage.
Once his health is low, wind columns appear on each side of the chamber. Use the Drifter’s Cloak to ride upward and break the explosive rocks at the top. Destroying both triggers a massive stone from the ceiling, which drops onto the Fourth Chorus and ends the battle.
Tips for the Fight

Save Silk for healing after platform smashes.
Use gliding to stay in the air during swipes and fireball rain.
Focus on stunning him quickly to keep the fight under control.
