Broodfeast Quest In Silksong

While killing over 60 enemies sounds intimidating and time-consuming, the Bloodfeast quest actually doesn't take that long. Instead of going around random locations looking for bugs, find a bench with a few enemies next to it and start a cycle of killing them and resting on the bench.

In summary, here's what Hornet needs and how to get it:

  • 15 seared organs - kill enemies using a tool that burns, like the Flintslate or Wispfire Lantern
  • 35 shredded organs - use tools that shred enemies, like the Cogwork Wheel or Architect Crest attacks
  • 10 skewered organs - slay enemies using a skewering tool, like the Sting Shard or Longpin

To trigger the Broodfeast Hunt quest in Silksong, travel to Putrified Ducts and explore the southern part. There, Hornet will find Huntress, and she’ll give the Broodfeast quest. The first time you visit Putrified Ducts, you need to reach Huntress by going all the way to the southwest of Putrified Ducts before reaching her location.

If you skip this quest in Act 2, it will still be available in Act 3, but the name will change to Runtfeast, given that the Huntress met a tragic fate with her broods.
