Collect Shredded Organs using specialized drilling or spinning tools.

Game Guide by Ornstein on Sep 14, 2025

The Shredded Organ in Hollow Knight: Silksong is an item that requires the use of specific tools to obtain. By equipping either the Delver’s Drill or the Cog Work, you can shred enemies and harvest this material. Choosing the right tool depends on what you have unlocked or purchased in your journey.

Tools Required

Two tools can be used to farm Shredded Organs:

Delver’s Drill: Found in the Underworks area, located at the bottom right of the map. This is a pickup item, making it accessible if you have not purchased other tools.

Cog Work: Available for purchase from a vendor in the Coral Chambers, specifically from the trader in Sclave, once unlocked.

If both tools are available, the Cog Work offers a more dynamic playstyle, but the Delver’s Drill is easier to acquire early on.

Farming Location

Return to the Coral Chambers, near the fast travel point. Head to the left side of the area where enemies spawn consistently. This makes it a convenient location for farming.

Farming Strategy

Activate your chosen tool—either the drill or the cog wheel—and use it to shred through enemies. The spinning attacks are highly effective at breaking down foes and will result in them dropping Shredded Organs. Continue farming in this location, using the fast travel point to reset enemies if needed, until you have collected enough.
