How to defeat False Knight
Let’s see what strategy the knight should adopt to defeat the boss.
- False Knight can block your Knight from accessing different parts of the area and will increase its range. The boss won’t take much damage when you hit him, but this fight will teach you how to deal with bosses in the Hollow Knight Android game.
- As the fight begins, the False Knight boss will jump into the air and quickly come down with both hands together to attack you. Protect yourself from his attack. After that, he will remain still for a few moments. This is when you should attack him hard and try to damage him.
- Now, you must protect yourself quickly because the False Knight’s body will throw shockwaves at you from both sides. Immediately jump in the air to protect yourself from his attack and, at the same time, start to attack him.
- Keep yourself away from the False Knight because it will attack more fiercely if you stay too close. So stay away and be cautious. Hit it as much as possible and make it fall. As soon as it falls, its helmet will come off its head. This is the moment to attack it as much as possible and deal much damage before it gets back up.
- When the False Knight gets up, he will launch a powerful attack on the Earth. Along with this attack, an explosive will drop down from the ceiling. This is when you need to increase distance from him to be safe and attack him simultaneously.
There will be many battles in the Hollow Knight game. The most important thing to win these battles is to play patiently, wait for the right moment, and learn different fighting patterns. Keep your attack short. Safety is to be ensured. By following this strategy, you can defeat the false knight boss quickly.
End of False Knight Boss
The fight will not last much longer. The False Knight will jump towards you. Let it fall to the floor while saving yourself. As soon as he falls, immediately finish him off with a powerful blow to his head. As soon as the False Knight dies, you will be rewarded with the City Crest from his body.
Don’t want to fight – Skip the Battle
You can skip the fight if you want to proceed without fighting the False Knight. But remember that you won’t be able to get the Geo and Crest until you defeat the False Knight in battle.
On the far left, you will see a gate blocked by large wooden beams. When you enter the arena and the False Knight appears from the roof, the gate closes, so you can’t get out without a fight. If you’ve decided to skip the battle, you must break these beams to get out of the arena. This won’t be too difficult since the False Knight’s powerful attack when coming down from the roof has weakened the beams, and you can easily break them.
Your way to the Green Path
When you exit the arena, you can head to the Ancestral Mound. Here, you get the Vengeful Spirit Spell. Now, you have two options: either go back and defeat the False Knight or proceed to the next area, the Green Path.
