How To Learn The Conductor's Melody In Silksong

Obtaining the Conductor’s Melody is one of the main quests you need to complete before advancing in Hollow Knight: Silksong. This melody is one out of three that players need to get. Additionally, all are located in different areas with different methods to access them; one requires solving a puzzle, another requires some platforming, while the Conductor’s Melody is locked behind a boss fight in the High Halls. Also, it may seem easier than the rest, but it’s actually more difficult as it’s a pretty draining boss fight in Silksong.

How To Reach The High Halls In Silksong

The Conductor’s Melody is located in a small room at the end of the High Halls area in HK Silksong. To reach the High Halls, Hornet must first defeat the Cogwork Dancers boss in Cogwork Core. The boss area is accessed from the left or right side of the Choral Chambers. After arriving and taking care of the boss, players will find out that three melodies are required to proceed. Getting the Conductor’s Melody does require the Clawline Ability and Double Jump Ability, so make sure to unlock them first.

From the boss’s room, keep going left without taking any turns until a bench appears in Silksong. Use the gold ring above to move to the top and avoid the spikes to land on a platform. Head right to enter the High Halls and start exploring. The area is pretty straightforward, as you need to keep going right and up through the rooms until you eventually glide down to the bottom.

Upon entering the High Halls, use the Clawline to throw the needle into the rings, gaining leverage, and then Double Jump to reach the platforms. Ignore or fight the enemies, then repeat the steps while going right until Hornet lands on a platform.

In the next room, a giant wheel with three gold rings is spinning slowly. Hook into one of the rings and wait for the wheel to move you up, then hook into another one next to the wall. Cling to the wall and move up to eventually jump on the platform and proceed to the right. Repeat the same steps in the following room; hook onto the rings, double jump on the platforms while ignoring enemies, until players reach the door.

Instead of using the wheel to go up, glide down slowly and use the gold ring to remove the spikes blocking the way. Keep doing the same thing while heading down and avoiding the spikes. Ignore the paths to the left and glide through the open door on the ground.

Land at the bottom of the room, and turn right first to unlock the bench to rest, the station to fast-travel, and the map for easier navigation. Once players are done, get out of the safe zone and keep going left to reach the boss fight.
