Hive Knight

Behaviour and Tactics
Hive Knight has a variety of attacks:
 * Bee Cannon: Hive Knight opens its mouth and multiple Hivelings fly out of it towards the ceiling. After all the Hivelings have disappeared, they start flying downwards at slow speeds, targeting The Knight. These Hivelings cannot be killed, however you can still gain SOUL by hitting them. The battle is always started with this attack with The Hive Knight not actually on-screen.


 * Lunge: Hive Knight lunges along the ground with their spear. This lunge covers most of the arena.


 * Teleport: Hive Knight flies to a point behind The Knight, then slashes with his spear, lunging forward. If The Knight is airborne as this attack is being used, Hive Knight will fall to the ground after slashing. If the Knight is against the wall, Hive Knight will fly in front of them instead.
 * Leap: Hive Knight curls into a ball and leaps in the air in a parabolic arc. When the leap reaches its apex, Hive Knight reaches the top of the arena.


 * Beenades: Hive Knight raises its 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 16 hits or 12 hits in under 1.5 seconds, Hive Knight will be staggered and kneels on the ground to recover. You can either use this time to score free hits, Focus or use the Dream Nail to gather large amounts of SOUL.

Location
Hive Knight is found in the room above the room with the Hiveblood charm, in a vast open space with the giant figure of Queen Vespa visible in the background.
