Hollow Knight: Silksong

Lost Lace Boss Guide

Add to Watchlist

Silksong - Lost Lace

Lost Lace is a boss located in The Abyss in Hollow Knight: Silksong. See a loadout you can use to beat Lost Lace, its attack patterns, and rewards in this guide!

Lost Lace Recommended Loadout

Silk Skill Pale Nails
Thread Storm
Tools
Crests

✎ Press on either Silk Skills, Tools, or Crests to see a full list of each!

The Lost Lace dashes and teleports around the arena a lot throughout the fight, making it hard to hit her. However, you can exploit her movements and attacks using trap tools.

You can scatter Tacks along the ground and lure the Lost Lace to them for easy hits, and use Cogfly to passively deal damage as the boss moves around. Equipping Pollip Pouch allow your red tools to inflict poison, adding more damage.

Flea Brew can also be useful for the fight, increasing the speed of your attacks.

Adding Shell Satchel increases the amount of red tools you can use for the fight.

For defensive tools, Warding Bell, Fractured Mask, and/or Magnetite Dice would be enough for survivability.

You can equip either Reaper or Witch Crest depending on your preference and loadout choices.

How to Beat Lost Lace

Lost Lace Boss Fight Tips

Scatter Traps Along the Ground

Since the Lost Lace moves around the arena a lot and is mostly on the ground, laying Tacks, Sting Shard, and/or Snare Setter across the floor of the arena is one strategy you can do to beat the boss.

Just lure the boss to the traps while avoiding her attacks to minimize the damage you'll take and maximize the damage you'll deal.

Use Cogfly

Another strategy you can do to beat the Lost Lace is to use Cogfly to deal damage passively. If you equip Pollip Pouch, your Cogfly can inflict poison and deal more damage.

Solid boss , but disappointing compared to radiance, yet it still was a hard fight

I used Wanderer crest, I included multibinder, druid eye, and long claw with magnetite dice. I just keep hitting Lost Lace if I have the chance and heal at least 4HP lost.
