What kind of bosses can I expect to fight in Hollow Knight: Silksong?

Expect a huge and varied boss roster in Hollow Knight: Silksong: Team Cherry promises over 40 legendary boss encounters that span agile hunters, massive beasts, haunted knights, and strange mechanical or supernatural guardians — many fights are multi-phase, some are mandatory for story progression, and others are optional challenges that reward tools or unlocks. See the official storefront for the core feature summary.

Supporting details and examples: bosses in Silksong often mirror the game’s vertical, acrobatic combat and include: - Hunter-style rivals (fast, skill-focused duels like recurring swordspeople). - Large beasts and creatures (arena fights with heavy attacks and stage hazards, e.g., Bell Beast and Moss Mother). - Ancient automatons and guardians (multi-phase, pattern-driven encounters). - Fallen knights and fabled heroes (armored foes with precise timing windows). Many outlets and community resources list confirmed and optional bosses, walkthroughs and strategies if you want specifics on individual encounters or difficulty — check the official Steam listing and comprehensive community guides for up-to-date boss lists and tactics.
