The Hollow Knight's teleport usually positions them far away from the Knight, so using Vengeful Spirit/ Shade Soul during this time is useful to get hits in before they charge another attack. When the Hollow Knight jumps and readies their nail, start looking for a safe zone immediately after dodging the downward strike. Dodge the first slam, then dash under them when they rise for a new slam, then reverse again after they come down and repeat.ĭuring the Diving Flame Pillar attack, the pillars briefly charge on the floor before erupting, showing where it is safe to stand. They have trouble tracking if the Knight constantly changes direction. Dashing can often overshoot a safe zone, so walking is usually the safer option.ĭuring the Bouncing Balloon attack, the Hollow Knight attempts to home in on the Knight. There are safe zones amongst the blobs during the Barrage and Explosion atacks so pay attention and move into safe zones. If they parry your attack, shadow dash through their riposte. During a Lunge or Triple Slash, jump above their head and Nail-bounce a few times while they finish the attack. The main weakness of the Hollow Knight is that they are vulnerable to attacks from above. Only three attacks are used in the phase: the Bouncing Balloon, Self Stab, and Deterioration. They can no longer teleport or leap and can hardly swing their nail. In Phase 4, the Hollow Knight can barely move. The Hollow Knight gains two more attacks (Outbreak and Bouncing Balloon) but they also slow down: rarely leaping or teleporting and their attacks come less often. In Phase 3, the Hollow Knight begins stabbing themself. In Phase 2 of the fight, the Hollow Knight gains two more attacks (Barrage and Diving Flame Pillar) and the Hollow Knight moves and attacks with greater frequency. The Hollow Knight back dashes, teleports, and leaps around the arena between attacks. In Phase 1, the Hollow Knight has three attacks: Triple Slash, Lunge, and Parry. Each Phase is marked by the Hollow Knight standing still, turning their head skyward and roaring. To begin the fight, the Knight must break the four chains holding the Hollow Knight. Upon breaking the seals on the Temple of the Black Egg by destroying the three Dreamers, the Knight is allowed entrance in order to fight this boss. During this move, all damage dealt to the Hollow Knight is reduced to 1, regardless of Nail level. Self Stab: The Hollow Knight stands in place and stabs their nail through their chest multiple times.This attack tracks the Knight's position and always aims for the Knight, specifically during the slam. Bouncing Balloon: The Hollow Knight floats around the arena and bounces up and down 2-5 times. Blobs burst from the Hollow Knight for 5-6 seconds. The blobs travel along three primary paths: an arc going left, an arc going right, and a third going down. They remain in the air for about 6.5 seconds. The Hollow Knight is always in the centre of the arena for this attack. Outbreak: The Hollow Knight hovers in the air and shoots blobs of Infection everywhere. The Hollow Knight attacks and moves less frequently and cannot be staggered after this Phase starts. However, they lose the Lunge and Triple Slash attacks (except for immediately after teleporting). The Knight can free and fight the Hollow Knight after killing the three Dreamers who sealed the Black Egg's entrance.Īfter reaching 400 HP, the Hollow Knight gains these attacks in addition to the attacks from the previous Phases. This event was the catalyst that brought the Knight back to Hallownest. Only the Memorial in the middle of the City of Tears testifies of their sacrifice to save Hallownest.Īfter some time, the Radiance's power broke out of the Hollow Knight, cracking their shell and fully Infecting them. Over time, the Hollow Knight disappeared from the fallen Kingdom's memory. It ultimately resulted in the resurgence of the Infection and the Kingdom falling into ruin. However, because of the aforementioned impurities, the Radiance could still exert influence. The Radiance was sealed within them, and they were chained within the Temple of the Black Egg where they were expected to contain the Infection for eternity. Regardless of their impurity, the Hollow Knight was trained and raised, eventually becoming a fully grown Vessel. The young Hollow Knight being led out of the Abyss However, their purity was misjudged, tarnished by an idea instilled, a bond with the Pale King who raised them. This birth condition was also supposed to leave them without a mind, will, and voice, to prevent the Radiance from influencing them. Like their siblings, they are the child of the King and Queen of Hallownest, birthed in the Abyss to be infused with the power of the Void. The Hollow Knight is the Vessel chosen by the Pale King to seal away the Radiance and save Hallownest from the Infection.
