Hollow Knight Silksong players must hunt **Hokers** in the **Far Fields** to complete the **Flexible Spines** quest. These peculiar enemies drop **Spine Cores** needed to unlock the **Drifter’s Cloak**, a critical mobility upgrade for Hornet. Here’s how to tackle this challenge:

Locating Hokers

• Hokers appear in the **Far Fields**, specifically in the chamber directly east of the **Seamstress’ balloon**.
• They resemble floating, spiky creatures that launch projectiles when attacked.
• Note: They spawn only after accepting the quest and vanish once all 25 Spine Cores are collected.

Efficient Spine Core Farming

• Avoid killing Hokers outright. Instead, attack them to trigger their spike-shooting ability.
• Strike the spikes embedded in walls or floors to harvest Spine Cores.
• Tips for success:
  – Farm each Hoker multiple times before it dies.
  – Exit and re-enter the room to respawn enemies.
  – Prioritize patience over speed to maximize yield.

Quest Reward: Drifter’s Cloak

• Deliver 25 Spine Cores to the Seamstress to receive the **Drifter’s Cloak**.
• Ability unlocked:
  – Glide downward slowly by holding the jump button.
  – Ride air currents to reach hidden areas.
  – Access late-game zones like **Pharloom’s** deeper regions.
