A few simple tricks to make the fight easy for anyone struggling to get better at the fight.

It may be one of the easiest fights in the game but still kicked my butt the first time I tried it.

Let me know what boss should be next. Otherwise I'll just go in order that my walkthrough is in.

Saying this is relatively easy as I've been stuck on her for an hour. 👌🏻

I’ve fought hornet so many times that I keep on hearing “aluminum” and “shark”

[raulrodriguez]

Wow. First try after watching the video. Turns out not jumping around like a crazy person works well. Thanks

The one thing about this game that drives me fucking nuts is contact damage. You should be able to Brush past bosses without losing a mask

[no-economic-value]

Your description style is fantastic. Super calm. Comes across way better than some of the goofy stuff I have seen from time to time from others. My work environment is in a technical field so mostly everyone operates this way. Thanks.

[johnmarston]

Follow his description stay close the only thing I don’t agree with is attacking when she throws it like a javelin I can never dodge that but as soon as I listened to his advice I beat her. Keep trying guys you will get her done

[HYDROCARBON_XD]

You can also obtain shaman stone is very useful against hornet (but you need to do a shade skip to obtain that charm because you don’t have dash before fighting with hornet)

[chonkyct]

Thank you so much, I was stuck on this for hours, just a few tips really helped me out!

[ClaudiaGarcia-jfrx]

This was so useful and super detailed !! Helped me finally beat it !! 🎉❤

[Crafty]

I was stuck on hornet for so long and just now I beat it thank you for the help ❤

[Toadmelon]

Its just really difficult for me. She keeps jumping wherever i jump! I dont even run into her, she runs into me. And yes, im dodging. Did they update her range or something? I swear her needle throw attack is way longer than in the video.

[petruska]

Fantastic explanation really helped me

[Camilla-hbki]

This spells it out super nicely! I didn't even consider attacking during her needle throw. That'll be useful.

[needsgrammarly]

18th try is the charm, lmao
thanks for the advice, it helped a lot

[dirtxlee]

was stuck on her for a while, defeated her first time after watching this. great video 10/10

I went from spending an hour on this boss to beating her in about a minute cause of this video. Tysm!
