Hollow Knight Silksong Hokers Location Guide
Hokers in Hollow Knight Silksong are key to completing the Flexible Spines quest in the Far Fields. These strange floating enemies drop Spine Cores, which the Seamstress requires before she rewards Hornet with the Drifter’s Cloak. This guide covers exactly where to find Hokers, how to farm Spine Cores efficiently, and how to complete the quest.
Where to find Hokers in Hollow Knight Silksong
Hokers are found in the Far Fields, in the room directly to the right of the Seamstress’ balloon. The first Hoker is positioned above the opening platform, with more scattered across the same chamber. They resemble round, bushy creatures that float and fire spikes outward when struck.
Once you unlock the Flexible Spines quest from the Seamstress, Hokers will spawn in this area and remain available until you gather all 25 required Spine Cores.
How to farm Spine Cores from Hokers
Simply killing Hokers will not give you Spine Cores. Instead, you must bait them into firing their spines. When the spines land in walls or floors, strike them to collect the cores.
The best method is to hit a Hoker once, gather the cores from its fired spikes, then repeat. Each Hoker can be “milked” for several rounds of spines before dying. Take your time, since rushing often means fewer cores collected.
Once you clear the room, leave and re-enter to respawn the Hokers. Continue this cycle until you have all 25 Spine Cores.
Flexible Spines quest reward
After collecting 25 Spine Cores, return to the Seamstress. She will reward you with the Drifter’s Cloak. This ability lets Hornet float on air currents or glide slowly downward when holding the jump button. It is required to progress further into Pharloom and also helps reach hidden mask shards and upgrades nearby.
Final Blurb
Hokers in Hollow Knight Silksong may seem like odd enemies, but they are central to unlocking one of Hornet’s most important abilities. Track them down in the Far Fields, carefully farm their spines, and complete the Flexible Spines quest to claim the Drifter’s Cloak. With it, new areas of Pharloom become fully open for exploration.
