One of the **key objectives** in *Hollow Knight Silksong*’s *Ascend Pharloom’s Crown* quest is locating the **Architect’s Melody**. Hidden deep within Cogwork Core, this memory requires navigating perilous platforming sections and solving a musical puzzle. Here’s a step-by-step guide to claiming it.
Locating the Architect’s Melody
To attempt this challenge, you must first unlock the Clawline skill. Begin at **Choral Chambers**, the starting point for the Threefold Memory questline:
- Drop into Cogwork Core’s central shaft and head left.
- Descend past patrolling enemies to reach a zone with rotating cogwheels.
- Pogo off the cogs to ascend, then cling to the right wall using **wall jumps** and ledges.
- Hook onto a ring to open the left door, then traverse a gauntlet of cogs and platforms:
- Chain wall jumps and ring hooks while dodging hazards.
- Time leaps between rings before obstacles activate.
- Continue climbing until you reach the **music room** housing the puzzle.
Solving the Musical Puzzle
The chamber contains four towers, each divided into four segments. Align all segments to form cohesive melodies:
- Focus on one tower at a time: Rotate segments until musical notes connect smoothly.
- Lock-in mechanic: Correctly aligned towers will snap into place.
- Repeat: Solve all four towers to trigger a cutscene.
Success grants Hornet the **Architect’s Melody**, advancing the Threefold Memory quest.
