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!

List of Contents

Raging Conchfly Recommended Loadout

Tools
Hollow Knight: Silksong - Flintslate Flintslate
Hollow Knight: Silksong - Cogfly Cogfly
Hollow Knight: Silksong - Injector Band Injector Band
Hollow Knight: Silksong - Pollip Pouch Pollip Pouch
Hollow Knight: Silksong - Magnetite Dice Magnetite Dice
Crests
Hollow Knight: Silksong - Reaper Crest Reaper Crest
Hollow Knight: Silksong - Architect Crest Architect Crest

✎ 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.

Injector Band is a great tool for this fight since you'll be able to heal much faster. Equipping Pollip Pouch will further improve the Cogfly's damage since it will apply venom to the Raging Conchfly.

Lastly, having the Magnetite Dice as a part of the loadout can 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. Its crescent-shaped slash also makes deflecting conches a lot easier.

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!

How to Beat Raging Conchfly

The Raging Conchfly Boss Fight Tips
Checkmark Prepare to Attack When There's Smoke
Checkmark Do Not Kill the Summons
Checkmark Conches Can Be Deflected

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!

Conches Can Be Deflected

If you are unable to dodge, remember that you can deflect the conches shot out by the Raging Conchfly. Keep in mind that this requires precise timing, and that the conches can still ricochet, so don't force yourself to hit every conch coming your way.

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.

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.

This boss is not optional if you want to beat crust king khan.

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.
