Rotate and connect music pieces to solve the Cogwork Core puzzle in Hollow Knight: Silksong. See the full Cogwork Core puzzle solution here, including its location and the rewards for solving it.
List of Contents

You can learn the Architect’s Melody by completing the Cogwork Core puzzle. This is one of the Threefold Melodies you need to collect after defeating the Cogwork Dancers.

Rotate the top music piece until it shows an eighth note followed by a joint note. From there, connect the joint note with a matching piece as you scroll to the next music piece below. Repeat the process for the remaining bottom pieces until all pieces are connected.

If you’re having a hard time seeing the music sheets, you can move the spotlight below for a better view. Simply hit it in the direction you want it to move.

For the second music sheet, rotate until you see a piece with two whole notes. Connect it with the other music sheets below, and it should end with a whole-quarter note, a half note, and a quarter note.

The third music sheet should start with a piece that has a whole note. Do the same and connect the rest of the music sheets below, and it should end with a piece starting with a joint eighth note.

For the last pillar, rotate it to the piece that starts with flags followed by a quarter note. This should end with a piece containing a joint quarter note and half note.

The final pillar is a bit tricky to reach, and you may need to wall jump to rotate the sheets. Just be careful not to fall into the gap below, as it can be difficult to climb back up if that happens.

You can find the musical piece puzzle while exploring the Cogwork Core, which becomes accessible around the second act of the game. The puzzle is located at the very top of the core.
