Hollow Knight Silksong Rhinogrund Locations & Guide
The Rhinogrund (of which there are at least three in the game) in Hollow Knight Silksong is one of Pharloom’s most intimidating enemies. With its long horn and charging attacks, it can overwhelm players who don’t know how to handle it. Many players also struggle to find enough Rhinogrunds to finish the journal entry, especially after missing an encounter.
Where to Find Rhinogrunds in Silksong
You need to defeat two Rhinogrunds to complete the bestiary notes. These are their confirmed locations:
Far Fields encounter near the fast travel station. If you leave or die, it can vanish. Later it respawns in Pilgrim’s Rest once you unlock the stuck door.
Memorium encounter found deeper into the game, this one always appears.
Act 3 spawns, including one two rooms left of the Far Fields fast travel station. These late-game fights makes it so you can definitely complete the journal.
Rhinogrund Behavior and Strategy
The Rhinogrund fights with raw strength. It charges forward with its horn, then follows up by ripping the ground to fling rocks. Both moves can deal heavy damage if not dodged.
Stay mobile and use your dash to avoid the charge. Jump carefully to dodge debris. Punish from behind once the attack finishes. Tools like Needolin and Volt Filament help pierce through its armored body and make the fight safer.
Journal Completion
Two kills are required for the journal notes. Missing the first fight does not lock you out. Memorium, Pilgrim’s Rest, and Act 3 spawns provide backup encounters. Players who miss early Rhinogrunds can still finish the entry later in the game.
Final Blurb
The Rhinogrund stands out as a dangerous but limited foe in Silksong. Its horn and debris attacks punish mistakes, yet its small number of spawns are the real challenge for completionists.
Knowing where to find them and how to fight back makes sure this beast never blocks your progress.
