Hollow Knight: Silksong Boss Tier List – The Toughest Foes According to 2,000+ Players

Nearly a month has gone by since Hollow Knight: Silksong finally landed in players’ hands, and if there’s one thing the community can agree on, it’s that Hornet’s journey is no walk in the park. Runbacks that make you want to throw your controller, double-damage hits that end a perfect run in a heartbeat, and platforming sections that could make even a monk lose their cool—this game has it all. But the real meat of any souls-like metroidvania is the boss fights, and boy, does Silksong deliver. With so many nail-biting encounters, fans quickly realized they needed to settle the score: which boss truly deserves the crown for being the absolute worst pain in the rear? Over 2,000 passionate players on the Hollow Knight subreddit voted on a community-driven tier list, and the results are finally in. You might want to sit down for this one, because some of these rankings will have you raising an eyebrow.

The Bottom of the Barrel: When F Stands for “Forget About It”

Not every boss in Silksong is out for blood. A couple of them are about as threatening as a sleepy tiktik. At the very bottom of the tier list, sitting comfortably in F Tier, we have Moss Mother and Voltvyrm. Beating these two is pretty much a given the first time you stumble into their arenas. Moss Mother basically waves a few vines at you while you smack her around, and Voltvyrm’s attack patterns are so telegraphed you could dodge them with your eyes closed after a few too many cups of mead. There’s barely a peep of argument from the community here—these are the softballs Hornet gets to warm up on.
