Hollow Knight Silksong How to Beat Rhinogrund
Rhinogrund is the rhino beetle mini boss found in Far Fields in Hollow Knight: Silksong. See tips on how to beat the rhino beetle, its attack patterns, and all its locations, here!

How to Beat Rhinogrund

Maintain a Distance

Maintain a Distance From Rhinogrund

Maintain a distance from Rhinogrund to better anticipate its attacks. As its attacks are slow and predictable, maintaining a distance allow players to comfortably and consistently perform punishes with less risks of taking damage.

Avoid Being Cornered

Note to avoid being cornered while maintaining a distance from Rhinogrund. Rhinogrund often moves to either ends of the room, easily trapping Hornet between it and the wall.

Use Pogo to Counterattack

When Rhinogrund is charging at Hornet, jump then pogo to both dodge and deal damage.

How to Pogo

Use Cross Stitch to Parry and Counter

With its predictable attack patterns, Cross Stitch becomes a lot easier to use, able to both stagger and deal massive damage that can end the fight quickly.
