Husk Warrior

Husk Warriors are enemies in Hollow Knight. Unlike most other husks of their size, these reanimated corpses use a nail and shell when fighting.

Behaviour and Tactics Patrols back and forth. Once disturbed, it defends with its shield, even if the Knight attempts to perform a down-strike. When it attacks, it performs three consecutive strikes before defending with its shield again.

The fastest way to kill it is to attack it from the front, it then blocks the attack and begins its attack sequence. While it is attacking, jump and attack it from above. The Knight can also down-strike repeatedly until it is dead.

Location They can only be found in the Forgotten Crossroads, to the east of the Stag Station.

Trivia

 * "These vicious, mindless ghouls were once ordinary bugs like you and me. Something below the surface has burnt away their souls and filled them with an aimless rage."
