How to Beat THE UNRAVELLED | Hollow Knight Silksong Boss Fight Explained

It’s time to break down The Unravelled, a secret boss lurking in Whiteward. Don’t let his bulky frame fool you — he’s fast and loves to ambush with sudden charges. For setup, I went with Tacks plus Pollip Pouch for consistent floor damage, Cogflies for safe chip hits, and Sharpdart to both punish and dodge his quick charges. Volt Filament and Long Claw round out the build with solid passive boosts.

The Unravelled’s fight is simple but chaotic. He always opens with a Charge, rushing straight across the arena — either double jump over his head or Sharpdart through him. His Cadaver Spit fires 2–3 corpses in diagonal or horizontal patterns, forcing quick reactions. In Phase 2, he adds Scalpel Storm from underground, filling the arena with blades, and Scalpel Summon, emerging to roar before disappearing again while more scalpels rain down. At low HP, he chains these scalpel summons into his regular moves, making the final stretch hectic.

The core strategy is staying near the center, reacting based on where he emerges. Jump or dash through charges, avoid cadaver shots carefully, and punish between his retreats. Meanwhile, keep spreading Tacks and summoning Cogflies whenever safe to slowly chip him down. With patience, timing, and good positioning, he falls surprisingly quickly.
