If you are quick enough, you can heal during this time using Quick Focus. There will be a short window where the location of the spikes will be revealed, so position yourself between them to avoid taking damage. The boss will leap into the air, then slam down on the ground, causing the ground to erupt in damaging spikes of infectious energy at set intervals across the screen. The second attack the Hollow Knight will use during Phase Two is a two stage ground slam attack. Use the Shade Cloak to dash through the first orb, then attack while the boss lobs acid over your head. The boss will shoot the orbs in arcing paths across the screen, starting low to the ground, then rising higher and higher as the attack continues. The Hollow Knight’s cloak will open, revealing globs of orange goo. The first new attack the Hollow Knight will use during Phase Two is a volley of orange acid. The Hollow Knight will still use the triple slash, dash, and parry attacks, so maintain your strategy for countering those attacks while keeping an eye open for new attacks. At this time the boss will gain new, more desperate attacks, which cover a larger part of the screen. During this time, attacking the boss will result in a wide, sweeping counter-attack, so avoid attacking and use this opportunity to heal if you have the Quick Focus Charm equipped.Īfter dealing enough damage to the Hollow Knight, they will scream as they did at the beginning of the fight, and Phase Two will begin. During the fight the Hollow Knight will adopt a defensive parrying stance and hold their Nail above their head with the tip of the Nail pointed diagonally towards the ground. The next attack isn’t an attack at all, if you play your cards right. Counter this attack like the triple slash and jump over the attack, then Nail Jump on the boss’ head until they disappear to begin the next attack. During this attack, the Hollow Knight will wield their Nail like a spear and quickly lunge forward across around ¼ of the arena. The second attack used by The Hollow Knight is an advancing dash attack. Because the boss does not attack upwards, you can easily counter this attack by jumping above the Hollow Knight and Nail Jumping on their head until they vanish and begin the next attack. The Hollow Knight will advance as they make each attack, and their Nail is quite long, so the advancing attack will cover around ¼ of the arena. The first attack used by The Hollow Knight is a triple slash attack. Due to their infected nature, however, they do have some weaknesses which can be exploited to make the fight easier. The Hollow Knight is a boss with multiple phases, relatively quick movements, and a wide array of attacks and techniques, each with considerable reach.
