 Make their homes all the way up at the top of the world. Do they use the crystals willingly as weapons or are they merely hosts and the crystals parasites?  |
Crystal Hunters are enemies in Hollow Knight. They use their crystalline growths to fire crystals at intruders.[1]
Behaviour and Tactics
Hovers in the air, usually out of melee range, shooting a crystalline projectile at the Knight that turns into a cluster of crystals when it makes contact with a surface. These clusters dissipate after a short period of time but can otherwise easily be broken with a Nail strike, and can be Nail-bounced on.
Unless the Knight is directly below them, they tend to miss their attacks as they launch them with a short delay. Jump up and slash at them while they are preparing their next attack.

Trivia
- Their crystal shot can be deflected with a Nail strike, but the projectile still passes through enemies.
