How to Beat WATCHER AT THE EDGE | Hollow Knight Silksong Boss Fight Explained +NO DAMAGE SHOWCASE

If you'd like to support me: https://ko-fi.com/alonnebaloney

It’s time to break down another secret and optional boss in Hollow Knight Silksong — the Watcher at the Edge.
He’s a super tanky punching bag with extremely basic moves, but if you’re collecting every boss fight like I do — this one still deserves a spot in your complete boss guide list.

You can find him after waking him up with your Needolin. For this fight, you can use any setup you like, but Sharpdart remains my best pick for comfort and consistency.
The Watcher only has three attack variations and one blocking move:
Triple Swing — simple three-slash combo, easy to dodge or jump over
Crashing Sands — uppercut followed by downslash, sometimes starts from underground
Leaping Downslash — jumps high before slashing down on your location
Block & Retaliate — blocks your attack, then immediately counters

All of his attacks deal 2 damage, while body contact only deals 1.
There’s no deep strategy here — just dodge, punish, and keep attacking until he’s down. Still, if you’re aiming for a full no damage / hitless run, this guide will help you read his movement and react cleanly to every swing.
