Here’s a full list of every confirmed boss in Hollow Knight: Silksong. Includes known names, lore connections, and what we expect from Hornet’s toughest battles.

Overview
Bosses in Hollow Knight: Silksong are unique enemies that test Hornet’s abilities to the max. Compared to standard foes, they hit harder, have bigger health pools, and often block progress to new areas, items, or quests. When Hornet encounters a boss, you’ll see their name flash on-screen and the soundtrack will shift into a battle theme, just like in the original Hollow Knight.
Below is the list of all confirmed bosses so far, plus a few names pulled from official reveals and leaks that are highly likely to appear.
Confirmed Bosses
- Moss Mother
- Carmelita
- Lace
- Sharpe
- Seth
- Trobbio
- Last Judge
- Bell Beast
- Chorus
Datamined / Leaked / Mentioned Bosses

- Sister Splinter
- Widow
- Skull Tyrant
- Great Conchflies
- Fourth Chorus
- Hunter’s March
What to Expect
- Faster Combat: Hornet’s mobility (dash, wall run, and thread abilities) means bosses will likely be quicker and more vertical than Hollow Knight’s.
- Quest Integration: Some bosses may be tied to Hornet’s quest system, making them optional but rewarding for completionists.
- Dream Nail Dialogue (Possible): Just like in Hollow Knight, certain lore-heavy bosses may feature unique Dream Nail interactions.
Trivia
- Team Cherry has teased that Silksong’s bosses will have deeper ties to the kingdom’s lore, so expect fights that reveal backstory rather than just roadblocks.
- Several names (like Sharpe and Lace) suggest rival characters, not just monsters.
That’s the current roster of bosses for Silksong. Expect this list to grow as more trailers and official news drop.
