Silksong Seared Organs Guide: Location, Requirements, Reward, Tips, and More

What to know

• Seared Organs are one of three organ-types you collect during the Broodfeast quest.
• To obtain them, you must kill enemies while using a fire-infused tool—specifically the Flintslate.
• The Broodfeast Wish requires collecting 15 Seared Organs, along with other organs (Shredded, Skewered) to complete.
• The quest is given by the Huntress in the Putrified Ducts; the reward is the Longclaw Charm, which extends your Pin’s attack range.

As you navigate the haunting kingdom of Pharloom in Hollow Knight: Silksong, quests like Broodfeast pull you into its themes of survival and desperation. Playing as Hornet, you'll encounter the Huntress and her plea to gather organs for her hatching brood, blending combat experimentation with exploration in a way that evolves the series' mechanics.

Silksong Seared Organs location: Starting the Broodfeast quest

Head to the Putrified Ducts early in your journey, often right after exploring the streets of New Lurien. This vine-riddled area sits in the lower regions, accessible via leaking pipes or through the Memorium at the Citadel's top.

Once there, make your way to the southwestern chamber where the Huntress awaits. Speak to her to trigger the quest—she'll explain her need for specific organs to nourish her young, tying into Pharloom's lore of decay and renewal.

After your initial visit, unlock a shortcut by climbing vines from the Putrified Ducts bench, saving you time on returns. Watch out for aggressive bugs and toxic pools along the way; a quick dash with Swift Step helps dodge their attacks.

Silksong Seared Organs requirements: Acquiring the necessary tools

Before you can collect any organs, equip yourself with the right tools. Each organ type demands a specific attack style, encouraging you to mix up your combat approach and discover Silksong's innovative tool system, which replaces Hollow Knight's charms with customizable slots for dynamic effects.

Here's a step-by-step guide to getting the key tools:

1. For Seared Organs, grab the Flintslate in Deep Docks. Start from the Putrified Ducts bench, drop south through pipes, then head east to the Bellway entrance in Far Fields. Use a Simple Key—scattered in ruins or bought from merchants for Rosaries—to open the gated passage.
2. Equip Swift Step (unlocked in the Forum's training grounds) to cross watery gaps without sinking.
3. Navigate the submerged echoes, avoiding Silkwing guards' dives, and platform across swinging vines to a high ledge where the Flintslate waits.
4. For Shredded Organs, obtain the Cogwork Wheel in Underworks by trading 360 Rosaries and 1 Craftmetal to the Twelfth Architect vendor. Alternatively, the Conchcutter from Deep Docks' Forge Daughter serves as a backup for slicing attacks.
5. For Skewered Organs, craft the Sting Shard at the Forge Daughter in Deep Docks, or find the Longpin behind a pink wasp nest in Shellwood for piercing strikes.

These tools cost Silk to activate but recharge at benches, adding a resource management layer that makes fights more strategic.

Collecting Seared Organs

Seared Organs drop when you deliver the killing blow with a fire-infused needle, symbolizing flame's destructive force in the game's ecosystem. With Flintslate equipped, activate it to coat your weapon in flames for a potent strike—ensure the final hit connects while the effect lingers.

Follow this step-by-step farming process:

1. Head to Greymoor's misty outskirts near the Halfway Home bench.
2. Move right into a corridor with three respawning enemies: two crawlers and one flyer.
3. Activate Flintslate (low Silk cost), dodge their lunges, and finish each with a flaming thrust.
4. Return to the bench to rest and reset the spawns.
5. Repeat the loop— it typically takes 15-20 kills for your 15 organs, under 10 minutes with practice.

For variety, try Sinner's Road's open terrain to isolate targets. Stock Rosaries for healing, as overuse drains Silk quickly. This method highlights Silksong's procedural spawns, keeping runs fresh while building your tool proficiency for tougher encounters.

Gathering Shredded and Skewered Organs

Shredded Organs come from slicing or destructive final blows, while Skewered require piercing attacks. Both follow similar farming logic but adapt to their tools' strengths.

For Shredded:

1. Equip Delvers drill or Conchcutter.
2. Target the same Greymoor spot or Underworks corridors for respawns.
3. Spin through groups for efficient kills, needing 35 total—focus on armored beetles for reliable drops with charged strikes.
4. Bench-reset as needed.

For Skewered:

1. Use Sting Shard or Longpin.
2. Throw traps or pierce in open areas like Shellwood paths.
3. Aim for 10 kills on flyers or isolated foes, where piercing shines without interruptions.

Combining these with the main path exploration turns grinding into progress, showcasing how Silksong integrates side quests seamlessly.

Requirements for completing the Broodfeast quest

To streamline your preparation, here's a table outlining the key requirements for obtaining the organs and finishing Broodfeast:

How to get your reward for Seared Organs (Broodfeast quest)

Once collected, return to the Huntress via the unlocked shortcut. Hand over the organs to complete the Wish—she'll grant the Longclaw charm immediately. This upgrade extends your needle's range, making distant pokes safer in platforming battles like against Moorwing swarms. It implies a shift to versatile builds, pairing well with Architect Crest for hybrid attacks, and enhances replayability in New Game+.

If stuck, the Forge Daughter offers pricier alternatives like Conchcutter. Abandoning via the Wishboard lets you restart penalty-free.

Tips and strategies for farming Seared Organs

To make collecting Seared Organs smoother and more worthwhile:

• Equip Flintslate whenever you plan to farm seared kills. Without it, none of your attacks will count.
• Target enemies that are plentiful and easy to burn down. Weak swarms are ideal for quick farming, while sturdier enemies may take longer without offering extra benefit.
• Use charms or tools that boost fire damage or improve crowd control. These help you hit multiple enemies with flame at once, speeding progress.
• Stay consistent: mixing in normal attacks will stop kills from dropping Seared Organs. Commit to flame until the job is done.
• Farming Seared Organs early in your playthrough sets you up for long-term success. By securing the Longclaw Charm sooner, you’ll have extended range for combat and exploration across the rest of Pharloom, making fights easier and platforming more forgiving.
• Revisit the Putrified Ducts or nearby areas to farm, since they offer clusters of enemies and easy access to the Huntress for quest progress checks.

Weighing the Broodfeast quest for your playthrough

Slot this quest after Deep Docks for an early combat boost without derailing your pilgrimage to the Citadel. Completionists will love the Longclaw's edge against bosses, while casual players might skip if farming feels repetitive—Silksong's checkpoints keep it optional yet impactful for adapting to Pharloom's challenges.
