While it isn’t exactly easy, it isn’t as tough as you might think at first glance. If you lose here at the final point, restarting is going to be a pain. Before attempting this Hollow Knights boss, you’ll have to go through about 20 minutes of fighting with other bosses and creatures along the way. One of the more unique bosses in the game, God Tamer has you fighting a tamer (the ant) and a beetle-like creature at the same time. Once you’ve recognized her attacks and patterns though, it becomes another quickly passing battle, but you’ll see her again. She’s also fast, so you need to be focused while battling her or you’ll lose. She can throw her needle sword at you, attack in mid-air, dash at you, jump to attack you from above, and more. In terms of attacks, she has a whole arsenal of them. This is because, at this point in your encounter, your skills are still pretty limited and this is one of the first agile enemies you’ll encounter. Hornet’s battle is pretty basic but is one of the biggest difficulty spikes for beginners who are not used to the genre. Hornet Protector Photo Credits: Team CherryĪlright, we’re amping it up! This will be your first encounter with Hornet, and she lets you off easy the first round, although she does put up quite a fight.

So you’ll have to time your moves right to survive and win the battle.įor the Ascendant version, you’ll only have three small platforms to stand on whilst the battle goes on. Plus, the only way to get a hit on him is to get close. You do have time to react and think, but that time shrinks as Gorb gets closer to death. All you have to do is dodge the wave of spikes that progressively increase, making it harder for you to keep attacking while avoiding any hits. One of the easier Warrior Dream bosses to battle aside from Marmu, Gorb floats and wiggles around in the air while shooting out rings of spikes to attack you. To beat him, you would have to do a lot of jumping to avoid being blasted and make use of the short hovering skill you can acquire as you jump away from his lasers. The moment you break his exterior, he’s pretty much done for, but this doesn’t change the fact that the Crystal Guardian is a pretty fun boss to fight. You can only properly damage him from the neck down as it isn’t protected by anything. He can also make four lasers shoot down from the sky after a slight pause in his actions. He shoots lasers from his hands, has a hard crystallized exterior, and jumps around the screen. The Crystal Guardian is kind of like a robot bug boss. Crystal Guardian Photo Credits: Team Cherry You’ll also encounter him several times as you journey along, so after a while, you can easily anticipate his moves. His attacks may be repetitive, but at least it isn’t boring. He isn’t all that difficult to fight, and the battle is overall an entertaining one as he keeps you on your toes. His battle sets you up for future battles as his movements mirror other Hollow Knight bosses, notably the Mantis Lords. The Soul Warrior’s enhancements include a larger health pool, more variety in attacks, and the addition of soul twisters. Soul Warrior is simply an enhanced version of the enemies you’ve been fighting as you make your way through the game – similar to the Vengefly King. There are also instances where Marmu gets stuck in an unreachable corner and randomly makes a beeline towards you as a rebound, which is harder to dodge. Marmu will be bouncing from edge to edge and all over your screen like a ball and you’ll have to avoid getting hit while trying to hit the creature yourself. Why? Because it’s boring! But if you take your eyes off the screen he’ll land one on you. Marmu is a caterpillar-like creature and is arguably one of the worst bosses to encounter amongst the Warrior Dream bosses. This repeats a couple of times and he will be defeated soon enough. He’ll collapse and his helmet breaks after a few hits and that’s where you’ll get to throw in some major hits before he gets back up again. When there’s room for an attack, go for it. He’s big, but don’t let that intimidate you! His move set is pretty easy to grasp, he’ll be jumping left or right while swinging his ax and you’ll have to avoid getting hit. False Knight is engaging and tough enough for beginners to feel a little winded after. This is another great intro boss that does a wonderful job of introducing you to the tactics and gameplay mechanics of future fights – just like Gruz Mother.
