No Eyes

"Lingering dream of a fallen warrior. Disappeared during the plague. They're coming... What's inside of you... Strip it out!"

- No Eyes

No Eyes is a Warrior Dream boss in Hollow Knight.

Lore No Eyes was a warrior of Hallownest who fell to the Infection. She could not sleep knowing the dreams would infect her mind with the light. To protect herself and other bugs, she stripped out both their eyes and her own before succumbing. She was laid to rest in the Stone Sanctuary, a place in complete darkness, and a carved statue was placed upon her grave.

In-game events No Eyes' ghost only appears at her statue after the Knight acquires the Dream Nail and has brought the Lumafly Lantern. While still blind, the ghost is disturbed by the light. She senses the Knight, but fears they are infected and out to hurt her. When challenged, No Eyes agitates the sanctuary's spirits to attack her threat.

After the fight, the spirits calm down while No Eyes realises the Knight never meant her harm. Relieved, the ghost asks them to lead the sanctuary's spirits to rest, a place where the Infection cannot reach them. She then shatters into 200 Essence to be collected by the Dream Nail.

Behaviour and Tactics
No Eyes does not directly attack but floats around using the following abilities:
 * Spirit Summon: Ghosts glide across the screen in wave-like patterns bobbing up and down. At 75% HP, the spawn delay of the spirits is decreased from 2 seconds to 1.75, and at 45%, it is further decreased from 1.75 seconds to 1.25
 * Teleport: No Eyes teleports to a random part of the arena and hovers there until she teleports again.

This battle is not too difficult due to the slow speed and predictable pattern of the attacks but can be drawn out because No Eyes teleports around frequently and the floating spirits everywhere can make it difficult to pursue her.

SOUL generation charms are suggested, since opportunities to hit No Eyes can be scarce, and therefore, gathering the SOUL to Focus or use Spells can be a difficult task. Pay attention to the positions of the platforms and the spirits while pursuing her, and the fight will most likely be over quickly.

Standing in the very centre of the platform on the ground is an ideal place to Focus as the spirits almost never hit the Knight in that location. Operating a hit-and-run strategy from this location allows the Knight to wear No Eyes down and return to heal.

Location
No Eyes can be found inside of the Stone Sanctuary, in Greenpath.

Trivia

 * Unlike the other Warrior Dreams, the battle against her does not use the regular Dream Battle theme. Instead, No Eyes sings a haunting lullaby throughout the entire battle.
 * No Eyes does not appear unless the Knight has the Lumafly Lantern.
 * The inscription on her statue is readable without the Lumafly Lantern, but only before getting the Dream Nail.
