Hollow Knight: Silksong

Raging Conchfly Boss Guide

Add to Watchlist

Hollow Knight Silksong Raging Conchfly

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!

Raging Conchfly Recommended Loadout

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!

Raging Conchfly Location

Located East of Coral Tower

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.

How to Beat Raging Conchfly

The Raging Conchfly Boss Fight Tips

Prepare to Attack When There's Smoke

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!

Heal During the Horizontal Drill Attack

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!

Do Not Kill the Summons

Summons

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!

Raging Conchfly Attack Patterns

Jump to a Section!
Phase 1 Phase 2

Phase 1 Attacks

Drill Attack

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.

Conch Spit

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.

Phase 2 Attacks

Synchronized Drill Attack

The Raging Conchfly summons multiple conchflies and then do a synchronized horizontal or vertical drill attack.

Delayed 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.

Raging Conchfly Rewards

Gain Entry to the Coral Tower

Tool How to Get Effect
Hollow Knight: Silksong - Conchcutter 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.

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.
