The exploration in Hollow Knight: Silksong can be confusing, even after players have obtained the map in Silksong. For instance, it's common for players to get stuck in Far Fields, since there's one route that demands a specific ability to get out of. To help with that, this article will guide players on how to progress and where to go in Far Fields in Silksong, especially for players who keep looping in the area.
Where To Find Flintbeetles In Silksong (Volatile Flintbeetles Quest)
Here are the three locations for the Flintbeetles required to complete the Volatile Flintbeetles quest in Hollow Knight: Silksong.
Far Fields Map In Silksong - Hollow Knight: Silksong
Far Fields is the area east of Deep Docks in HK Silksong. It's also east of Hunter's March, but it's not connected to that area. Another place that's connected to Far Fields is the Greymoor, which players can access north of Far Fields.
How To Progress In Far Fields In Silksong - Hollow Knight: Silksong
If players are stuck in Far Fields in Silksong, it's likely because they miss the Flexile Spines quest, which will unlock the ability to ride wind currents. Without this skill, players may end up circling around Far Fields, which means the first step to exiting Far Fields is completing the mission.
Get The Drifter's Cloak
The Flexile Spines quest is available in the large area south of Far Fields. Find a way to go up to the floating balloon, then speak to the Seamstress inside.
After getting the Drifter's Cloak, there are three ways to exit Far Fields in Hollow Knight: Silksong:
- Back to Deep Docks
- Use Bell Beast Bellway
- Go up to Greymoor
Optional Step: Mask Shard In Far Fields
Once players have the ability to glide, they can access the area above the Seamstress's balloon. This step is optional, but is highly recommended as the area hosts a Mask Shard. First, head right from the Seamstress's home until you see a current up. Go up, then ride another wind current before landing and heading left.
Next, you should see a rock that could explode. Hit it to release a wind current, but be careful of the explosion damage. Ride the new wind current to another rock like this, and break it once more. In total, there are three exploding rocks to trigger.
Now glide slowly to the opening to the left, then enter. Break any exploding rocks you find until there are none.
To reveal the Mask Shard in Far Fields, look up for a yellow bomb above, then ride a wind current to destroy it.
Watch as the bomb falls while avoiding the explosion, then claim the Mask Shard hidden under the ground.
How To Reach The Bellway
The next step to getting unstuck from Far Fields is finding the Bellway. Stay on the lowest road, and you should soon meet the Fourth Chorus boss in Silksong. Defeat the boss, then continue left until you see a wind current.
Thanks to the Drifter's Cloak, you can now float up, breaking the loop of Far Fields. Next, go left, and you should see another wind current. Ride it up.
There will be another explosive rock above. Break it, then ride the newfound wind current to the Bellway location in Far Fields.
Pilgrim's Rest
Now that you unlock the Bellway, you can freely go to any waypoint you've unlocked. If you wish to continue with Far Fields, then keep going up to the Pilgrim's Rest area.
Like before, you simply have to float up while destroying any explosion rocks you can find.
Greymoor
After reaching Pilgrim's Rest, follow the same method to continue floating upwards. This will eventually lead players to a new area called Greymoor.
