Same here. I tried for forty minutes, on the verge of frustrated tears, tried this charm combo and beat her first try. I'm so appreciative of it jfc I was so upset
Dude same, this is exactly what happened to me! Although I was rocking the dreamshield, weaver song and joni's blessing. Won the first time with this combo...well the dreamshield or one of the weavers did lol.
I used “Defenders Crest” to take out the spikes Hornet spawns, but the hit box of Defenders Crest killed Hornet... ;-; I didn’t get to see the dialogue either.
Hornet: Shaaaa *whack whack whack whack whack* Hornet: S-Stop! *whack whack whack whack whack* Hornet: My nail is comming back you should dodge it! *whack whack whack whack whack* Hornet: YOU ARE NOT SUPOSSED TO PLAY LIKE THIS I beated her the hard way after losing like 10 times, then I came here looking for a perfect zero damage video but couldn't find it. Glad to know it's been hard for everyone.
Hornet please stop I'm about to die the night whack whack whack whack whack whack whack hornet please please I beg of you Good night whack whack whack whack whack hornet why me why must I be the annoying when it's at the game so people will create cheat codes against me why
THIS VIDEO SAVED MY ABILITY TO PLAY THE REST OF THE GAME. I play on a super old and bad spec laptop. Barely punch out 33fps but this boss battle with the wind effects over the screen caused it to drone to a measly 20pfs. Everything was so choppy I was convinced I’d never be able to dodge her moves and beat her. NEW STRAT. don’t move and just wail on her. Brilliant! Hahaha. I feel lame but now I can move the heck on. Thank you Sir!
Wait I'm guessing now you can't complete the game if you're having issues with this boss fight... for me 1) the HK sprite was invisible making it twice as hard to beat and 2) if I did make it to the Radiance my game was way too close to crashing for my liking
I know im kinda late but if you r seeing this i have some tips for this fight Tip 1: when she is at her first stage (before you have knocked her down once) it will take 2vengefull spirits (with shaman stone) and around 6-9 hits with the nail that has been upgraded once (without pale ore) Tip 2: when she is in her second stage (when you have knocked her down once) you have to keep attaking her, if u dont attack her she will summon the spike balls. If you keep attacking her she will eventually summon the spike balls this will indicate that she is low and that you will be able to finish her off in a few nail hits Tip 3: if u keep wall jumping she can only do three attacks the one where she charges and the one where there is a ball around here and one where she fake jumps you can pretty easily see wich one she will do so you can dodge her and get an attack or heal up This was all i got goodluck beating her
Thank you so much for sharing this. She was destroying me with no mercy. With this build.....I beat her on the first attempt. Soooooo satisfying. Thank you!
Ofelia Gurdian i would be happy to die 10 times and win but i died like 40+ times for real Well it took like 3-4 times with this but damn did i die before beating her
Guys im here aftet beating hornet with the exact strategy but some minor changes: 1- charms used should be: quick slash, lifeblood heart, stalwart shell, grubsong AND thorns of agony 2-thorns of agony will be your ace as it deals a great deal of damage every time you get hit, and as youre gonna tank damage and take a crap ton of damage hornet will also suffer each strike she lands on you 3-try to dodge a few attacks when you can, and keep cornering and attacking hornet non stop 4-when she staggers heal as fast as possible or when she throws her lance at you and youre out of range or either when she does her AOE string attack and youre also far away 5- if you have alot of SOUL and youre not using it (full health or almost) throw some good spells at her as theyre very damaging 6-dont jump at all only when dodging the dashes, when she jumps in the air dash in her direction two times but DONT JUMP thats either the air dash or AOE Thats it i hope to have helped
I watched a lot of videos about that, even the ones that suggest to use shade cloak (which you can't get it BEFORE hornet). This was the only video that saved me. A quite simple strategy. After 5 or 6 tries, I beat her. Many thanks 🙏
Thank you so much! I tried everything for hours and this simple method worked so great! 2022 this method still works folks forget ALL the other videos as I tried them all.
I have been trying this fight for I don't know how many hours. I was completely stuck. This worked first try, and I wasn't even close to dying! Thanks dude, you saved my playthrough.
Okay, I need to clarify for anyone who comes to see this. You need to get your nail AT LEAST to channeled nail. Sharpened or old nail will not cut it. This may be obvious but you just can not beat Hornet without at least a channeled nail upgrade or more.
really? i've been doing this for 3 days and really all i had to do was just tank the shit out of her? i was fighting her with the same strategy i used for the first battle, dodge then hit a couple times and repeat but kept getting boned by her spike balls all over the place.
For anyone watching this, that is curious don't equips grub song. Lifeblood. Long nail. Quick slash. Stalwart body. Coiled nail. You'll take her out in about 50 seconds and won't go any further than two masks down.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who found this boss insanely impossible. I'm still struggling even with this loadout but I don't have the coiled nail or lifeblood so I guess I gotta go do some questing first... sigh. Although she seems to do like double the damage to me compared to this video??
yeah wait how did you get to the first stun only taking a single hit??? when im swiping away she absolutely SLAMS me right back! was down to 2 health immediately, what trick am i missing??
@@JackLoveday This is pretty late, but I recommend not following this video. It may have worked when uploaded, but I think the boss has been updated. I recommend atleast 6 HP, and to be patient. Whenever you know you are safe to hit, hit her once and back away. Don't stay in the air too often, and you should be good without too many charms.
Only follow this video if you've got 7 masks, at least 1 extra soul thing, and all the charms and notches needed. You'll also need to know how to avoid her, and apply it occasionally. Before I looked this up, I had figured out a rhythm that would work and get her to three stuns. FIgure out how to maneuver around her, and it'll make this method easier. While it looks like the knight is slashing at her nonstop in the video, you gotta heal when you can, and safely.
No way this actually works I'll try this later and if it does then I would have wasted the past day trying to beat hornet Edit: oh my god why did I beat it first try this isn't even fair, I feel so dirty
indeeeed, i got it first try after watching the video, i don't know how to feel, should i be happy or should i be furious with myself for waisting 5 hours trying to beat Hornet
I've come back to this video to simply say thanks my guy! I ended up using this exact charm set up (sometimes adding in fragile strength) against a lot of bosses and it melts all of them haha. Cheers mate!
I tried this 11 times already, and Hornet keep dashing, whenever I want to lead her to the edge, she attacks. I can't even guess what her move is, because she either jumps, or dashes on the vessel. This technique doesn't seem relatable to me.
My god, thank you. I combined the idea of smacking her whenever I could with watching her attacks as best as possible. I slapped Grubsong, Longnail, and Lifeblood together and prayed. It worked after like 4 tries.
Thanks so much for this! I was stuck enough on this boss to quit for several months. This got me through on the first try, much to my shock. I'm so glad I can move on now and experience the rest of the game. You're a life saver.
Omg you're the best. My bf and I have spent way too much time trying to beat her. I tried it your way, beat her first try. Wow I feel stupid and happy right now!
thank you so much man, I was trying forever. Then I decided to see how people win on youtube. After following your steps I won on the second try! thanks, a lot man
Ive been trying to beat her for weeks and then I found this strategy, still took me a couple dozen tries but the dopamine I'm feeling right now from beating her is UNMATCHED
Dude you earned my sub with this! I spent hours and did perfect until she started spitting those barbs all over the place. Prob could have gotten it eventually but was very frustrating. Thanks so much for this. For anyone wondering if this works....IT DOES.
Thank you so much for this!!!!!! I was stuck on her for so long and got so frustrated that i put the game down for weeks at a time! This worked first try i cant thank you enough!!!!!
I’ve been stuck on this boss for years playing on and off and within 2 minutes I’ve beat her because of this video I don’t know if I should be mad or happy, I honestly don’t even remember what I was trying to do in the game anymore
Maybe it's just me, but it felt like something was updated in the game to make this not work. Everytime I started swinging at her she immediately jumped over me. But after the 3rd or 4th try I was able to get her. Appreciate the video!
Guys if you're trying this build and it's not working, I recommend you to use the dreamshield. I tried many times using the quik slash and hornet destroyed me but, when I started using the dreamshield and dodging attacks, the fight became really easy and I beat her really fast. Another thing is to improve your nail to coiled nail because the fight ends much faster like that and also it's a good idea to get another mask, with seven at least you'll be able to resist more. The build I used is dreamshield, grubsong, lifeblood heart and longnail, hope It helps you.
i will have to swear by this method. spent an entire day trying to beat her, got quick slash bc of this tut and beat her first try. literally best strat out there
I’m TERRIBLE at timed combat like this and this method got me there on the second try. I had been pissed and was ignoring this fight as long as possible. Awesome tips fr
@@coreybananas yeah there must have been a recent change to her responses. She does way more AOE moves now and it takes a but more finesse. I eventually got it but had dodge a lot more than in this video. Look up "Hornet second fight, no damage" that video helped me more to figure out how and where to dodge.
I'd say this method still mostly works (did it recently myself) but you should probably know how to dodge at least some of her moves instead of tanking all of them, because she was either changed or this dude got really lucky with RNG. You're gonna have a bad time if you're following her around this closely and she starts spamming her AOE.
You could be right especially thorns. I used lifeblood like he did because of the extra hit points but then turned out I didn't really need them. Thorns would have made it go a little faster with the extra damage
duuuuude!!! Yesterday I spent 3 hours trying to kill her. And with your strategy I won the fight on the first try!!! I was about to give up on the game until I came across your video. Thank you thank you thank you!!
Thank God this worked. Spent HOURS on this. Although I didn’t get it first time after switching to this, the idea of waiting until Hornet is recovering to juice up sorted me out. Thanks. Took maybe three goes and got ‘er dun!
Thanks so much, got to this boss with low equipment and died many times, it helped me a lot figuring out a way to beat it : hack, slash, and slash again.
Amazing, It took me 3 days and i got no where. using pure nail,unbreakable strength, quick slash,stalwart shell, and lifeblood took me 30 seconds using this method, thank you for the video.
Yesterday I ripped my shirt apart after trying and failing on this boss for hours. Today I found this video and beat it first try. Thank you so fucking much for saving the shirt I'm wearing today.
imagine youre a boss and the other players defeat you by using strategy and then theres just this one playing stabbing you violently
This IS strategy
I can't believe it actually worked. that goddamn place is laggy as hell
*is rethinking life choices*
Saaaame
Other builds : Skill
This build : Invincibility is their vulnerability!
Hornet: No holding back!
The Knight: im boutta end this whole womans career
Knight: im boutta end this whole woman's career.
Silksong: Hold my beer.
If your going to make the meme at least use the right sentence
Tj Torregrossa lmao wdym
Tovi Heyyy it should be “woman’s whole career”
I have been trying to beat her for the past week and then tried this strategy, and won on the first try.
Why.
(Thanks you so much)
mood accept i gave up after 30 minutes- (also hey, i follow you on insta! xD luv your art-)
Same here. I tried for forty minutes, on the verge of frustrated tears, tried this charm combo and beat her first try. I'm so appreciative of it jfc I was so upset
Same dude... btw I used that tactic while fighting Hollow Knight and it worked... lolz
@@eryk8340 this tactic lets you cheese most if not all bosses
Same here, this cheese tactic probably works with other bosses as well
I'm just here because I died but my Dream Shield killed her so I couldn't see the dialogue afterwards lol
Dude same, this is exactly what happened to me! Although I was rocking the dreamshield, weaver song and joni's blessing.
Won the first time with this combo...well the dreamshield or one of the weavers did lol.
Im just here for the game progress
Dream shield can damage the enemy?
I thought it was pretty useless... might have to give it another go.
I used “Defenders Crest” to take out the spikes Hornet spawns, but the hit box of Defenders Crest killed Hornet... ;-; I didn’t get to see the dialogue either.
Frick Dang same thing happened to me 😂
Hornet: Shaaaa
*whack whack whack whack whack*
Hornet: S-Stop!
*whack whack whack whack whack*
Hornet: My nail is comming back you should dodge it!
*whack whack whack whack whack*

Thank you Sir!
yeah i play on a pretty shity laptop it can run the game pretty well but for things like the coliseum and this boss the background affects tank my fps
omg same I can't wait to actually progress! This fight and the Mantis Lords are basically impossible with the 3 frames per year I get
this is leterly my experiance
Wait I'm guessing now you can't complete the game if you're having issues with this boss fight... for me 1) the HK sprite was invisible making it twice as hard to beat and 2) if I did make it to the Radiance my game was way too close to crashing for my liking
I usually play on really low specs and I don't see how 20fps is bad
I know im kinda late but if you r seeing this i have some tips for this fight
Tip 1: when she is at her first stage (before you have knocked her down once) it will take 2vengefull spirits (with shaman stone) and around 6-9 hits with the nail that has been upgraded once (without pale ore)
Tip 2: when she is in her second stage (when you have knocked her down once) you have to keep attaking her, if u dont attack her she will summon the spike balls. If you keep attacking her she will eventually summon the spike balls this will indicate that she is low and that you will be able to finish her off in a few nail hits
Tip 3: if u keep wall jumping she can only do three attacks the one where she charges and the one where there is a ball around here and one where she fake jumps you can pretty easily see wich one she will do so you can dodge her and get an attack or heal up
This was all i got goodluck beating her
Srry I am late but this is helpful
I swear to God, if this actually works I am going to scream
Edit: *AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*
How did it work for you it doesn’t for me
@@piranhaplantfan1311 Adding thorns of agony can help if you have an extra notch :)

Yea just dodge a little bit then your fine remeber heal up when u can

Ofelia Gurdian i would be happy to die 10 times and win but i died like 40+ times for real
Well it took like 3-4 times with this but damn did i die before beating her
Guys im here aftet beating hornet with the exact strategy but some minor changes:
1- charms used should be: quick slash, lifeblood heart, stalwart shell, grubsong AND thorns of agony
2-thorns of agony will be your ace as it deals a great deal of damage every time you get hit, and as youre gonna tank damage and take a crap ton of damage hornet will also suffer each strike she lands on you
3-try to dodge a few attacks when you can, and keep cornering and attacking hornet non stop
4-when she staggers heal as fast as possible or when she throws her lance at you and youre out of range or either when she does her AOE string attack and youre also far away
5- if you have alot of SOUL and youre not using it (full health or almost) throw some good spells at her as theyre very damaging
6-dont jump at all only when dodging the dashes, when she jumps in the air dash in her direction two times but DONT JUMP thats either the air dash or AOE
Thats it i hope to have helped
Thank you this helped so much made me kill her in 2 mins
Thank you!!
oh my god THANK YOU
LEGEND
THANK YOU!!! EVEN WITH THIS VIDEO STRATEGY I COULDNT BEAT HER I TRIED LIKE 5-6 TIMES, AFTER EQUIPING THORNS OF AGONY I WAS ABLE TO BEAT HER 2ND TIME!!

I watched a lot of videos about that, even the ones that suggest to use shade cloak (which you can't get it BEFORE hornet). This was the only video that saved me. A quite simple strategy. After 5 or 6 tries, I beat her. Many thanks 🙏
This is the BEST strategy EVER! I've been stuck on Hornet since days. I just defeated her. She didn't even had time to jump around. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
thank you so much for this, I must've failed to beat her like 40 times but then I just tried this and got her on the first try!
I was doubtful if I would be able to do this but it worked. Thank you. 🎉
3 years later and this has saved me so much trouble. Thank you so much... I've tried like 20 times already
Surprisingly mad helpful I fully said "oh" in shock how quick I beat her, thxx
I spent an hour trying to clear this shit with other builds and beat it first try with this one. It's sad how easy it was.
The same here, after hours of failing, beat her with this build the first try.
Legit same too
Yep, first try also :D
Same lol. Does this work with other bosses as well?
@@fishho2419 I'm sure as shit gonna try
Thank you so much! This strategy is too good! ALSO, if you don’t have 8 charm notches use quick slash, thorns of agony, grub song and life blood
My dude....nailed her from the first try with this charm combo! I’ve tried like over 20 times with other combo’s. You the man!
Thank you so much! I tried everything for hours and this simple method worked so great! 2022 this method still works folks forget ALL the other videos as I tried them all.
I have been trying this fight for I don't know how many hours. I was completely stuck. This worked first try, and I wasn't even close to dying! Thanks dude, you saved my playthrough.
wtf..2 days for this b*itch and with this build it looks me 2 minutes. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Okay, I need to clarify for anyone who comes to see this. You need to get your nail AT LEAST to channeled nail. Sharpened or old nail will not cut it. This may be obvious but you just can not beat Hornet without at least a channeled nail upgrade or more.
Bruh I died countless times with the sharpened nail lmao i was wondering if there was a charm i was missing or something, imma try that
Well Ok good i got the channeld nail
i did it with the sharpened nail. I used the mark of pride, quick slash, and thorns of agony.
dunno if that still counts as this build tho
Yeah starting to come to that realization rn
Agreed I barely beat her with channeled nail, stalwart she’ll, fury of fallen and lifeblood
Credit where credit is due - this build got me through this fight! My housemate was horrified by my technique but I got thru the fight! :D
It worked!
It added 3 more deaths to my embarrassingly high death count to this bossfight but it worked!
Thank you random citizen!
@Nestor Valenzuela i died 38 times before a win, i suck so much, sorry for rlly late comment
really? i've been doing this for 3 days and really all i had to do was just tank the shit out of her? i was fighting her with the same strategy i used for the first battle, dodge then hit a couple times and repeat but kept getting boned by her spike balls all over the place.
Same ;_;
Uh huh
For anyone watching this, that is curious don't equips grub song.
Lifeblood.
Long nail.
Quick slash.
Stalwart body.
Coiled nail.
You'll take her out in about 50 seconds and won't go any further than two masks down.
i change long nail for thorns of agony
I'm glad I'm not the only one who found this boss insanely impossible. I'm still struggling even with this loadout but I don't have the coiled nail or lifeblood so I guess I gotta go do some questing first... sigh. Although she seems to do like double the damage to me compared to this video??
yeah wait how did you get to the first stun only taking a single hit??? when im swiping away she absolutely SLAMS me right back! was down to 2 health immediately, what trick am i missing??
@@JackLoveday This is pretty late, but I recommend not following this video. It may have worked when uploaded, but I think the boss has been updated. I recommend atleast 6 HP, and to be patient.

Thank you very much!! I couldn't beat her for hours until I saw this video!! Amazing!!!
Holy crap. Thanks guy. Haven't done a playthrough in about a year and this was giving me some issues. Your loadout had me beat it first try, lol.
I spent like 3 hours on this before and with this setup I did it in a couple tries. Thanks man.
This was one of the most helpful videos I have seen on trying to defeat her. It took me so long trying other strategies but this one greatly helped.
I have never laughed so hard and this actually works. The only thing to watch out is not to hit hornet when she's staggered so you can heal.
My god, thank you. I combined the idea of smacking her whenever I could with watching her attacks as best as possible. I slapped Grubsong, Longnail, and Lifeblood together and prayed. It worked after like 4 tries.
I love how your strategy is just beating the ever loving shit out of her

Also I already finished 3 ending(s) the following day
Yep same thing happened to me, i feel guilty for using this strat,but if i don't use it i can't progress at all
Bit late to the party but OH MY GOD THIS WORKED FIRST TRY!! I've been trying to fight her carefully for HOURS 😭 Thank you!!
Is this still valid because it's not working at all for me. Her behavior is way different to the video...
Mark Tippett Glad to know I’m not the only one having trouble, i always dash into the spikes or get parried.
@@coreybananas yeah there must have been a recent change to her responses. She does way more AOE moves now and it takes a but more finesse. I eventually got it but had dodge a lot more than in this video. Look up "Hornet second fight, no damage" that video helped me more to figure out how and where to dodge.
I'd say this method still mostly works (did it recently myself) but you should probably know how to dodge at least some of her moves instead of tanking all of them, because she was either changed or this dude got really lucky with RNG. You're gonna have a bad time if you're following her around this closely and she starts spamming her AOE.
The reason the method didn't work for me was because I hadn't upgraded my nail enough. As soon as I upgraded it I won first try.
I just did it today
Tried this one and did it on the first try lol. I'm hella shocked. Thanks, dude.
I want to try this build, but instead of lifeblood, I’d probably use defender’s crest and thorns of agony! 🤔
You could be right especially thorns. I used lifeblood like he did because of the extra hit points but then turned out I didn't really need them. Thorns would have made it go a little faster with the extra damage
duuuuude!!! Yesterday I spent 3 hours trying to kill her. And with your strategy I won the fight on the first try!!! I was about to give up on the game until I came across your video. Thank you thank you thank you!!
This method doesn’t work
Cannot belive it I've been stuck on this for so long but I need that key, did this, this morning just first try. Thank you.
Thank God this worked.
Spent HOURS on this.
Although I didn’t get it first time after switching to this, the idea of waiting until Hornet is recovering to juice up sorted me out. Thanks. Took maybe three goes and got ‘er dun!
I just did this, and it frickn worked first try, thanks dude for saving me two hours of pain
i've never been so mad and felt so relieved at the same time
just an idiot, same fam
thank you sooo much, i was about to give up on the game and won with this strat 3rd try, im so hyped rn
Thanks so much, got to this boss with low equipment and died many times, it helped me a lot figuring out a way to beat it : hack, slash, and slash again.
THANK YOU! Been stuck on her for ages
After more attempts than I could count I found this video and got it done first try. Thank you!!
Dude, you saved my life. I was struggling so hard trying to win this fight and then I saw your strat and finally I beat her. Thank you
What strat? It was a MANFIGHT!!!
I know this video is a few years old but this worked very well for me. I was able to do it with just 2 tries using this method.
Amazing, It took me 3 days and i got no where. using pure nail,unbreakable strength, quick slash,stalwart shell, and lifeblood took me 30 seconds using this method, thank you for the video.
So basically “Aaaand I don’t stop swinging and I don’t stop swinging”
Yesterday I ripped my shirt apart after trying and failing on this boss for hours. Today I found this video and beat it first try. Thank you so fucking much for saving the shirt I'm wearing today.
