Massive Moss Charger

Hunter's Journal


''Family of creatures that have learnt to bulk up with moss and live as one.   ''

''There is strength in numbers, yes, but these creatures never had much strength to begin with. Cut through their trickery!'' It is a larger variant of the Moss Charger as it is made up of several of them living together.

Behaviour and Tactics
The Massive Moss Charger has two attacks: charging forward on the ground or jumping and belly-flopping onto the Hollow Knight. Unlike normal Moss Chargers, hitting it will not expose the vulnerable bug within the moss.

Despite the simplicity of its attacks, the Massive Moss Charger can be surprisingly hard to defeat. This is because avoiding its attacks requires a lightning-fast reaction time and accidentally executing the incorrect action (jumping or dashing) will result in taking damage. It also has a large health pool and occasions to safely attack it are not frequent, making it hard to gather SOUL to heal (though if you do have the SOUL, it is very easy to exit the arena to heal). It is recommended to enter the battle with a filled SOUL meter.

Standing near the edge of the room will often result in the Massive Moss Charger getting stuck on the edge for a fraction of a second during its belly flop attack. This can be used to buy time to dash out of the way if you're having trouble predicting the Charger's attacks.

It is a good idea to save this fight until you obtain Grubsong, which along with Soul Catcher makes it significantly easier to gather Soul from the Charger.
