It’s no secret that Hollow Knight: Silksong is one of the hardest games of the year. Even knowing how many people were eager to get their hands on the sequel, Team Cherry created a work that can make even the most experienced player sweat.
Bosses that seem impossible, fights against waves of enemies, diabolical platform sections, banks of traps… Silksong is full of moments that can make us lose patience or even abandon the game completely if we don’t have the patience.
But there is one in particular that stands out above all others as Silksong’s most difficult and hated momentand as you may have already guessed, it’s about the fight against Groal the Great.
However, one player showed that by using the right crest and tools, It is possible to defeat him without doing anything.. Let’s see.
How to beat Groal in Silksong without pressing a button
To be fair, Groal being one of Silksong’s most hated bosses isn’t just due to the combat itself, but also the path you must take to reach him.
The Bile Waters area is Silksong’s “poisonous swamp”a place infested with mosquitoes that touch their noses, hunters hiding in the undergrowth and where the slightest contact with water means that the Hornet is unable to heal normally and loses its silk over time.
Furthermore, the nearest bank to Groal It’s fiendishly hidden so most players won’t find it and they have to cross practically the entire area to get to the boss. It’s a real hell.
And the fight against Groal is no small feat either, often using traps and waves of enemies to complicate things. However, the player RingGamingg shows us in the following video how to defeat him without doing anything. Take a look:
Logically, this requires preparation, which would be as follows: first, You have to equip the architect’s coat of arms. As tools we must select the mechanical fly and the plasmium bubble (the coat of arms allows you to equip up to three, but these two are enough).
For the remaining spaces, we are interested in the Will-o’-the-Wisp Lantern and the Memory Crystal.
Before entering combat, It is very important to use an overdose of plasmium. In case you don’t know, it consists of using the plasmium vial beyond the limits possible thanks to the unique characteristics of the architect’s coat of arms, which makes all of the Hornet’s masks turn blue and recover health over time.
Once that’s done, all that’s left is to go into combat. Just get started, and to lighten things up, use as many mechanical flies as possible (four in total). And… that would be all. You don’t need to touch anything and it doesn’t matter if Groal throws you into the swamp or hits you.
Between the health regeneration and the effects of tools that deal damage when taking damage, the boss will eventually go down. Yes, indeed, Keep in mind that things will take a long time.approximately 10 minutes. Who said Silksong is difficult?
