Hollow Knight How to Beat Soul Master

This is a quick video on how to beat the Soul Master in Hollow Knight.

The Soul master is the boss guarding the Desolate dive ability which is required to beat the game. It is super helpful especially for getting the crystal heart ability in the crystal peak BEFORE needing the lumafly lantern.

Requirements:

Charm Suggestions:
Long Nail
Mark of Pride
These make it easier to hit the boss from further away

Ah yes, one of the bosses who’s distance from the bench should be illegal. I’m looking at you hive knight.

It’s funny when watching these boss tutorials the boss’ attack look sequential but when I actually fight them they’re random as Fxxk

[julianafranco]

I can't believe how easy you make it look like when I'm almost on the verge of a mental breakdown

[TcoTV]

That moment when you think you finally won after all the hardships you went through, only for Soul Master to destroy the arena floor and all your hopes and dreams with it.

I thought I killed this guy after like my 10th attempt and put down my controller in relief only for him to come back to life and finish me off. You can imagine my heartbreak.

I love these bossfights but it pisses me off that the respawn points are always far away

[danielz]

When I first saw him in the background I thought he was a hot air balloon.

[kyddsply]

I enjoy the fact that you used the old nail, since players that make it this far usually have the first upgrade so that they can actually learn the attack patterns

[pullover]

The way I can play this game so many times and still have fun is amazing

[liamkelly]

Can you do the guide but without the wayward compass? I don’t want to cheat and that would make it too easy.

[charmisyoung]

I’m in bed crying myself to sleep after losing this fight probably 20 times but yeah I’ll give it a go tomorrow after watching this, sure!

[curse_word]

I found spamming desolate dive works well with defeating him

[animuswonder]

the only reason this boss is hard for me is because I take it too seriously. I move around too much, I jsut can't help it

[MortuisRosis]

I'm disappointed I'm now just playing this. This game is so beautiful. It's looks and feels astonishing. By far, favorite area is city of tears. It's gorgeous. It sets a very melancholy feel with the music and the rain.

There is actually a breakable wall near the bench that makes it much easier to get there. The wall is in the elevator shaft right next to the bench on the map.

this guy is not some corny guy with glasses, he knows what he's talking about, use your dashing ability towards the boss when he fires projectiles and get a hit in....great video

[josecorona]

[diegoramos]

I never imagined there would be a phase 2, I ended up dying :(

[PichuFanever]

I really appreciate this walkthrough, man. I just started playing Hollow Knight for the first time, and this is the boss that's been driving me insane. Thanks for not belittling your viewers!
