Hive Knight

Beta

Behaviour and Tactics
The Hive Knight has a variety of attacks:
 * Bee Cannon: The Hive Knight opens his mouth and multiple Hivelings fly out of it towards the ceiling. After all the Hivelings have disappeared, they start flying downwards, targeting The Knight. These Hivelings cannot be killed, however you can still gain SOUL by hitting them. The Hive Knight always starts the fight with this attack.
 * Lunge: The Hive Knight lunges along the ground with his spear. This lunge nearly covers the entire arena.
 * Teleport: The Hive Knight teleports behind The Knight, then slashes with his spear, lunging forward. If The Knight is airborne as this attack is being used, the Hive Knight will fall to the ground after slashing. If the Knight is against the wall, the Hive Knight will teleport in front of them instead.
 * Leap: The Hive Knight curls into a ball and leaps in the air in a parabolic arc. When the leap reaches its apex, the Hive Knight reaches the top of the arena.
 * Beenades: The Hive Knight raises his spear, then sticks it into the ground and summons three yellow spiked spheres from the ground. The spheres then start shaking and explode, releasing 8 spikes in an octagonal pattern.

After taking 15 hits, the Hive Knight kneels on the ground to recover. This can happen twice during the fight. You can either use this time to score free hits, Focus or use the Dream Nail to gather large amounts of SOUL.

Trivia
Рыцарь Улья
 * The Hive Knight's entry in the Hunter's Journal does not count toward completion percentage; however, the Hiveblood charm does. This may simply be due to the fact that it is still a Beta boss. This was corrected in the 1.3.0.9 update, making the maximum percentage 107%.
