Pure Vessel

The Pure Vessel is The Hollow Knight in its prime. It is a much harder version of the Hollow Knight, with all of its hazards and attacks dealing two masks of damage. It is only found in the Godhome appearing the the Pantheon of the Knight and the Pantheon of Hallownest.

Behavior and Tactics

 * Shining Daggers: Pure Vessel will face the Knight and raise its free hand. Its hand will glow white, and it will summon a semicircle of 7 daggers that rapidly fly out in a spreading formation.
 * Triple Slash: Pure Vessel will swing its Nail 3 times. Each swing of its Nail moves Pure Vessel forward, covering about 33% of the arena in total. The swings are wide enough that they can damage The Knight even if they are behind the Pure Vessel.
 * Diving Light Lances: Pure Vessel will either jump or teleport into the air and then slam straight down with its Nail, causing columns of bright shining lances to shoot up from the ground. No matter which method it chooses, Pure Vessel attempts to slam down where the Knight was at the beginning of the attack.
 * Lunge: Pure Vessel will teleport a short distance and then lunge along the ground with its Nail towards the Knight. This lunge covers about 50% of the arena.
 * Parry: The Pure Vessel holds up its nail into a guard. If hit during this time, it will proceed to do a single slash, covering roughly less of the arena than most of the other attacks.
 * Light Bombs: Pure Vessel will surround itself with a circle of light. After a short amount of time, the circle will “explode” causing AoE damage in its radius. Afterwards up to 6 more smaller circles appear mid air and act in the same nature.
 * Void Tentacles: Pure Vessel will lift up its cloak, revealing a series of flailing black tentacles. The tentacles will then lash out towards towards the direction Pure Vessel was facing, covering about ~60% of the arena.
