Raging Conchfly is a boss located in Sands of Karak in Hollow Knight: Silksong. See a loadout you can use to beat Raging Conchfly, its attack patterns, and rewards in this guide!
| Tools | |

| Crests |
✎ Press on either Tools or Crests to see a full list of each!
The Flintslate will allow Hornet to deal more damage against Raging Conchfly. Since the Raging Conchfly moves a lot, we recommend equipping the Cogfly tool to deal damage against it even when you are dodging.
Spool Exntender is a great tool for this fight since you'll be able to store more Silk, allowing you to reactivate Thread Storm or heal much faster. Equipping Pollip Pouch will further improve the Cogfly's damage since it will apply venom to the Raging Conchfly.
Lastly, the Magnetite Dice and Fractured Mask are part of the loadout to increase your survivability.
You can use any crest you are comfortable using, but we recommend equipping the Reaper Crest since it is pogo-friendly and a well-balanced mid-game crest.
Alternately, you can opt to use the Architect Crest if you want to make the most out of your tools. The Architect Crest contains 3 Red Tool slots, but it gets rid of the Silk Skill in exchange. However, this is fine because we do not recommend using any Silk Spells in this fight since you are better off using your Silk to heal Hornet!

Located to the right of Coral Tower, specifically, at the top left corner of Sands of Karak. You need to beat the Conchfly to reach the Coral Tower.

The best path to reach Raging Conchfly is the route from Blasted Steps as shown in the image above. Do note that you need to unlock the shortcut from within Sands of Karak first before you can use it!
| The Raging Conchfly Boss Fight Tips |
|---|
|
|
| Vertical Drill Attack | When the Raging Conchfly is about to emerge from the ceiling or floor (telegraphed by smoke), stand beside the smoke and get ready to land a few hits. |
|---|---|
| Horizontal Drill Attack | When the Raging Conchfly does a horizontal charge attack, do a pogo attack to deal damage. |
With the Raging Conchfly constantly burrowing, you'll want to attack the Raging Conchfly when it emerges from the walls. With this, whenever you see the smoke that indicates that it is about to emerge from the one of the boss stage's borders, get ready to swing and deal damage!
If you need to heal, the best time to do it is during the Raging Conchfy's horizontal drill attack. Instead of doing a pogo attack, bind mid-air for Hornet to heal!

The Raging Conchfly will summon multiple small conchflies during the battle. Fortunately, they despawn for a while after doing their synchronized or delayed drill attack with the boss. With this, there's no need to kill them; instead, dodge their attacks. Start attacking the Raging Conchfly again once the summons despawn from the boss room!

|---|---|
| Phase 1 | Phase 2 |
The Raging Conchfly drills horizontally or vertically towards Hornet and burrows into the opposite end of the wall. The Raging Conchfly will also use this during Phase 2.
The Raging Conchfly spits out a conch towards Hornet's location, ricocheting up to four times. The Raging Conchfly will also use this during Phase 2.
The Raging Conchfly summons multiple conchflies and then do a synchronized horizontal or vertical drill attack.
The Raging Conchfly and its summons will emerge and stay in one spot for a few seconds before charging towards Hornet one by one in a random order. The boss will always be the last one to do the drill attack.
| Tool | How to Get | Effect |
|---|---|---|
Conchcutter
|
![]() Found inside the Coral Tower building. |
Spiral weapon fashioned from a hardened conchspire. Thrown at an angle, it can ricochet and catch prey off-guard. |
Since the Raging Conchfly is blocking the pathway to the Conch Tower, defeating it will allow you to gain entry to the tower. Within the tower, you can obtain the tool, Conchcutter!

I would rather amputate my own foreskin with a rusty kitchen fork than fight this thing ever again. Thank god you helped me through this, cause without this guide I’d have died of a rage induced aneurysm so soon that Satan wouldn’t have had the time to put up a line of salt to keep me away.
