Hollow Knight: Silksong – Where to find Hokers for Spine Cores

by

In the sequel to Hollow Knight, titled Hollow Knight: Silksong, the side-quest system has been polished and improved compared to the original game. Instead of traditional side quests, you’re presented with various “wishes” scattered throughout the world that can be tracked in the menu. One such wish originates from the Seamstress residing in the Far Fields, who will ask for your assistance when you speak to her within her balloon. Her request involves collecting 25 Spine Cores, which are dropped by enemies known as Hokers. However, since Hokers haven’t been introduced yet during your gameplay progression, it could initially be perplexing if you aren’t familiar with them.

We will guide you on who Hokers are, where they can be located, and how to collect Spine Cores – these are crucial for fulfilling the Seamstress’s wish and receiving her valuable reward. This task is just one among many others; for instance, there’s also the quest for Pilgrim Shawls in Silksong.

This paraphrase aims to maintain the original meaning while using simpler language and a conversational tone.

How to gather Spine Cores from Hokers – HK: Silksong

In the chamber where the seamstress’s balloon resides, follow an easterly path, and you’ll encounter your initial Hoker in the very next room. These peculiar, spherical entities suspended in mid-air are identifiable by their propensity to eject spikes whenever they collide with something – quite a formidable sight!

The protrusions that erupt from them are what we call Spine Cores. Approach one once it embeds itself into the ground and assault it. It will transform into an acquirable item afterward. Be swift, as they vanish within a few seconds. A Hoker discharges another round of spikes whenever it’s struck – and it takes three strikes to eliminate it – so during your exploration in the Far Fields, you can gather about 25 of them without much difficulty.

Spine Cores wish reward – HK: Silksong

Return the Spine Cores to the Tailor, and she will work on your cloak using her loom. Once done, she’ll give you back the Drifter’s Cloak – an important upgrade that enables your character to glide in Hollow Knight: Silksong.
