How to Beat Bell Beast in Hollow Knight Silksong

• Pogo When It Charges

When the Bell Beast bursts from the ground and rushes toward you, leap upward and pogo slash down onto its back to deal damage. Timing is important—make sure you’re above its path before striking downward.

• Move Toward Its Origin on Big Jumps

If you feel the ground is shaking, the Bell Beast is preparing to leap across the arena. Instead of running away, move closer to the spot where it first emerged. Keep some distance, though—its head can still hurt you as it lands.

• Dodge the Rolling Bells

When the ground shakes at the center of the arena, the Bell Beast will erupt from below with two giant bells. After it dives back underground, the bells roll outward to both ends. Quickly retreat to the sides, then jump over the bells to avoid getting hit.

The Bell Beast Attack Patterns

Phase1
Dash: The Bell Beast tunnels out and charges directly toward Hornet.
Jump: It leaps across the battlefield, traveling from one side to the other.
Rolling Bells: Emerging in the middle, it summons two bells that roll outward once it retreats underground.

Phase2
At half health, the Bell Beast dives deep into the ground, triggering a small quake. From this stage onward, falling bells will occasionally rain down, forcing you to dodge both the projectiles and its usual attacks.
