Why's Tiso there? Why not? Figured he was the only thing keeping this from being an "All Bosses" video so why not include him? Isma solo is also a little left out but she's helping her guy so all's good.

![Hollow Knight: Silksong Custom Boss [Lost Sinner]
The usual rules are gone, the only thing I kept was no tools. Healing is allowed, and full damage has been restored. Well needed, too.
The one and only (as of now) modded boss in Silksong, and its unfortunately a very mixed bag. Phase 1 rules, with only very occasional bullshit. Its a great upgrade for the Sinner even if the pins can end up trapping you sometimes with little recourse. The problem is phase 2 (starts at roughly 25% HP remaining), which among other, less troublesome things, ups the speed of the pins considerably. TOO much, IMO. I dont really think you can reliably dodge those and the fight devolves into a race to kill her quick before she sends too many nigh-unavoidable pins your way.

![Hollow Knight: Silksong Boss [Moss Mother]
Silksong is here! Training for Steel Soul, I decided to record relatively clean battles vs every boss. Rules for each are simple; no tools, crests, or skills besides the default Hunter and Silkspear, no healing, and my attacks deal half damage (via mod)
Moss Mother still goes down lightning quick even with effectively double the health. Being a tutorial boss, this is no big surprise. Not much to speak of strategy, you can heal in midair in this game so if you need health simply jump into the air as she passes under. In general, Ive decided not to show healing opportunities in this game because midair heals make it possible to get away with an almost unlimited number of ideas.
Also its kinda funny that Moss Mother, the tutorial boss, has more than a couple things in common with Winged Nosk, one of the very last bosses you ever see in the original game. Hollow Knight: Silksong Boss [Moss Mother]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RZ-lH8Dh5-w/mqdefault.jpg)

Yet another Barely-A-Boss. Hes got high HP and even a stagger, but no music or any real reward. All you get is a cosmetic trophy, and the journal entry. Just punish any time he swings his sword into the ground and youre good. Hollow Knight: Silksong Boss [Watcher at the Edge]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Rfo3beDywZw/mqdefault.jpg)

I thought this would be way worse than it was. I was fearing Id have to lift a rule to make this reasonable, turns out primarily melee works just fine and silkspear is actually very capable here. Hollow Knight: Silksong Boss [Nyleth]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SRuzyISOsVk/mqdefault.jpg)

Barely-a-boss. It has very low health and only 1 attack. If this gives you trouble this deep into the game, I dont know what to tell you. Hollow Knight: Silksong Boss [Palestag]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Se7esDMg6wA/mqdefault.jpg)
