In the world of Hollow Knight: Silksong, the question of whether to farm for resources is a pertinent one. After losing countless Rosaries to formidable bosses and environmental challenges, the answer leans toward a resounding yes. Why toil endlessly for a handful of beads that may vanish at the hands of the next adversary when you can strategically gather currency to enhance your gameplay experience?
Optimal Farming Strategy in Choral Chambers
For those navigating through Act 2, a particularly fruitful farming spot awaits in the Choral Chambers. Once you’ve acquired the map, instead of ascending directly, veer right and scale the heights to reach the First Shrine located in the far top right corner. Upon arrival, activate the bell using the Silk Spear and take a moment to rest at the nearby bench.
Next, it’s advisable to traverse left, leaping up the platforms until you reach the pinnacle where the Ventrica system resides. Additionally, unlocking the Ventrica at the Grand Bellway Station will facilitate safe transport of your gathered resources to locations like Bone Bottom or Bellhart, enhancing your farming efficiency.
The farming process itself is straightforward. From the bench outside the First Shrine, head left, ascend the platforms, and sprint down the corridor where three sizable enemies await. Contrary to their intimidating appearance, these foes can be dispatched with relative ease, especially when employing the Reaper Crest’s sprint attack. Each enemy drops 32 Rosaries, accumulating to a total of approximately 96 Rosaries every minute and a half upon returning to the bench.
To expedite this process, consider acquiring anklets that boost your sprint speed at the cost of silk from the Weavenest located on the far right side of the Far Fields. Alternatively, utilizing a Silk Eater item allows for the retrieval of your cocoon from a distance, providing a safety net should you wish to disengage from combat.
What makes this farming strategy particularly appealing is the presence of the boss at the end of the corridor. This allows players to grind for Rosaries while simultaneously preparing for the boss encounter, with the opportunity to collect your cocoon from the boss room in the event of a defeat. However, caution is advised; ensure to retreat and heal if you sustain damage during your journey to the boss.
After accumulating a surplus of Rosaries, consider investing in Rosary Threads from the Bellhart vendor. This ensures that you are never caught off guard at a remote bench, lacking the necessary currency to rest and regroup.
