Silksong Fourth Chorus boss guide

Hollow Knight: Silksong challenges players with diverse mechanical adversaries, including the imposing Fourth Chorus. Concealed within Far Fields’ terrain, this colossal automaton emerges when explorers gather sufficient Spine Cores to upgrade Hornet’s mobility gear.

Fourth Chorus Combat Strategy

Triggering this encounter requires interacting with Far Fields’ Seamstress and obtaining the Drifter’s Cloak upgrade. Post-upgrade, progress becomes blocked until defeating the mechanized guardian occupying the western chamber.

The confrontation demands pattern recognition across three primary assault types. Maintain spatial awareness during heated exchanges when multiple dangers manifest simultaneously. Strategic positioning near arena center permits optimal counterattacking opportunities.

Platform segments disappear during ground impacts |
  • Falling Lava: Post-stun activation causes meteor-like projectiles. Multitask dodging while monitoring limb movements.
  • Hand Smash: Anticipate floor destruction markers. Damaged platforms regenerate during sweeping assaults.
  • Hand Swipe: Horizontal sweeps require aerial evasion or well-timed dashes. Vulnerable cranium access occurs post-attack.

Prioritize upward thrusts during jumps for sustained damage. Stun windows permit Silk accumulation for enhanced attacks. Final phase introduces ceiling-mounted thermal formations – utilize updrafts to dislodge these environmental hazards for massive damage.
