Bell Beast is the second boss in Hollow Knight Silksong and it's another one on the easy side. However, newcomers to the genre may find it a bit difficult so here are some tips and tricks on how to overcome this boss.

Bell Beast is the second boss you'll fight in Hollow Knight Silksong and it's not nearly the hardest foe you'll come across in the game. Still, if you're having issues with this particular boss, here are some tips and tricks on how to beat him.

How to beat Bell Beast in Silksong?

Here are some tips and tricks on how to beat this boss.

Bell Beast has a total of four attacks. All of them are moderately simple to avoid. In the first part of the fight, the boss will use fast sweeping attack on the ground and jump attack.

Avoid the ground attack by jumping over the boss and if you're brave enough, try damaging the boss with the downward attack. While in air, hold down and press the attack button to do this.

When the boss starts doing its air attack, simply stay under it and while he floats in the air, and keep close to strike 2-3 blows as soon as he lands.

Bell Beast will then start doing a couple of other attacks. The most challenging one to avoid is the ground shake, which makes big metal balls start falling from the air. I avoided this by staying at either far part of the arena. There's a similar attack when the boss will spawn from the ground with two metal balls bouncing across the arena but these are easily avoidable simply by running below them.

And that's pretty much everything there is to this boss really. My advice would be to stay patient and try not to panic. It's a pretty straightforward boss fight that shouldn't take you long to complete.
