Overview

Tips for the final challenge (spoiler obviously)

Sooo if you got to this section you know the final challenge:
The pantheon of Hallownest!
My usual charm combination is used for the start:
Quick slash, Mark of Pride, Hiveblood, Steady Body

If you’re like me and want to roflstomp through the first bosses, switch hiveblood for fragile/unbreakable strength + nailmaster’s glory.

– Vengefly king
– Gruz mother
– False knight
– Massive moss charger
– Hornet (1)
Godseeker sequence
– Gorb
– Dung defender
– Soul warrior
– Tiso / Brooding mawlek
– Brothers Oro & Mato (no use hiding the names anymore right?)

Bench (equip hiveblood again)

– Xero
– Crystal Guardian
– Soul master
– Oblobbles
– Mantis lords

Bench

– Marmu
– Flukemarm
– Broken vessel
– Galien
– Paintmaster Shio

Bench (I swap mark of Pride -> Shaman stone for Collector fight)

– Hive knight
– Elder Hu
– The collector
– God tamer
– Troupe master Grimm

Bench (swap: Shaman stone -> Longnail + Dreamwielder for Uumuu fight. Easy soul)

(godseeker sequence, Unn)
– Watcher knight
– Uumuu
– Nosk
– Nailsage Sly
– Hornet (2) (apparently the order is shuffled here)

Bench (swap back: Longnail + Dreamwielder -> Mark of Pride)

– Enraged guardian
– Lost Kin
– No eyes
– Traitor Lord
– White Defender

Bench

– Failed Champion
– Markoth
– Watcher knight
– Soul Tyrant
– Nightmare King Grimm

EDIT:
Apparently this last section features a pool of bosses where each boss is chosen randomly.
My next run was as follows:
– Soul Tyrant
– Markoth
– Grey prince Zote
– Failed champion
– Nightmare King Grimm

Bench

– Pure Vessel
– Final boss. Take a guess. Don’t forget to have fun!
