Hollow Knight Silksong All Bosses

Hollow Knight Silksong all bosses are some of the most talked about features of Team Cherry’s sequel, with over 40 fights confirmed. Just like Hollow Knight, Pharloom is full of main bosses and optional encounters that test your skills. Every duel teaches movement, patience, and mastery of Hornet’s unique combat style.

Here is the full list of Hollow Knight Silksong all bosses in the game (WORK IN PROGRESS), including where to find them and strategies for each fight.

Moss Mother

Moss Mother is the first boss found in Moss Grotto. She floats just out of reach and swoops down with stinger strikes, forcing quick jumps. She also slams the ceiling to send falling rocks into the arena.

Attack her when she hovers low or after she misses a swoop. Successive hits can stun her, leaving an opening. In later phases, she summons children that can be cleared quickly with two needle strikes.

Bell Beast

Bell Beast is located in The Marrow. She bursts out of the ground and charges forward with surprising speed. Her leaps and rushes are fast but predictable once you learn her timing.

The key is dodging her initial burst and countering while she recovers. After the fight, she becomes your fast travel mount, acting as Silksong’s version of The Last Stag.

Trobbio

Trobbio is a flamboyant performer who attacks with fireworks while fluttering across the stage. He is less of a brutal threat and more of a recurring rival.

Watch the ground patterns of his fireworks and time dashes through the gaps. His attacks are flashy but punishable once you read his rhythm.

Lace

Lace is a deadly fencer who uses precise thrusts and sweeping combos. She leaps and dashes across the arena, forcing quick reactions.

Learn to bait her diagonal dive and punish after she lands. Avoid the glowing circle on the ground, as it marks her teleport combo. Lace stuns after taking heavy damage, giving small windows for free strikes.

Carmelita

Hunter Queen Carmelita fights with spinning twin daggers while dancing across the arena. She is graceful but lethal, chaining flips with sudden ground spikes.

Do not rush in after her leaps, since spikes erupt where she lands. Instead, wait for her aerial strings to finish, then move in safely.

Fourth Chorus

Fourth Chorus is a massive multi-limbed creature fought in Far Fields. The arena is surrounded by lava, and its sweeping arm attacks constantly destroy platforms.

Aim for its head after each arm swipe or smash. Use wind currents to stay airborne when platforms collapse, and drop stalactites onto it by breaking slag heaps to deal heavy damage.

Skull Ant

Skull Ant is a hulking warrior stationed at the far northeastern corner of the Marrow. It blocks the path to Hunter’s March and can be encountered early, even before Hornet has sprint.

It fights with two main patterns: a double sweeping combo and a leaping smash. Without sprint, stay close and slip behind it after each leap to land safe hits. With sprint, lure it into the narrow tunnel where its jumps fail, then punish between swings until it falls.

Savage Beastfly

Savage Beastfly is a giant insect found in Hunter’s March. It opens with rapid horizontal charges before adding vertical dive slams to crush Hornet.

Bait its charges into the walls to stun it and land safe hits. During vertical dives, strike once as it pauses midair, then dash away before it crashes down.

Last Judge

The Last Judge combines heavy size with fast charges. He swings a giant thurible, slams the ground, and fills the arena with fire plumes.

Stay mobile and use jumps to punish his forward charge with a downward strike. Watch his wind-up carefully, since his charge and thurible throw look similar. Positioning and timing are the only way to beat him.

Sister Splinter

Sister Splinter clings to the ceiling, swinging down with long claws and filling the arena with thorn spikes. Most of the fight keeps you looking up, dodging debris and punishing her when she drops low.

Stay calm and clear spikes before they trap you. Strike during her brief stuns on the ground, then reset before she climbs back up.

Seth

Seth is a shielded guardian who absorbs strikes and punishes aggressive players. He lunges with a long pin attack and can throw his shield across the arena.

Do not force offense against his guard. Wait for his shield toss or recovery animations, then punish quickly. His fight rewards patience and spacing.

Sharpe

Steel Assassin Sharpe uses his elongated proboscis as a whip. The strike has huge reach and a tall arc, making it tricky to jump over.

The move has a long wind-up, so dodge early and punish from behind. Sharpe fights multiple times throughout the game, often with allies backing him up.

Moorwing

Moorwing is a hidden boss lurking in Greymoor. It fights with sickle-shaped blades, throwing orbs that skim the ground and shredding with lunging combos.

Keep distance and punish only after its orb projectiles pass. Pogo during lunges for safe strikes, but stay cautious since many of its attacks hit twice.

Final Blurb

Hollow Knight Silksong all bosses bring a mix of main story guardians and optional challenges that shape Hornet’s journey through Pharloom. Each fight rewards learning patterns and punishing openings, with no shortcuts to victory. If you plan to master Silksong, these encounters are your biggest test.
