Clover Dancers Boss Guide

Clover Dancers - Hollow Knight: Silksong

Clover Dancers is a boss located in Verdania in Hollow Knight: Silksong. See a loadout you can use to beat Clover Dancers, how to find them, its attack patterns, and rewards in this guide!

Clover Dancers Recommended Loadout

Silk Skill Thread Storm
Tools
Crests

Threadstorm is useful to have in battles that require you to maneuever around in tight spaces.

For the same reasons, the Injector Band will be helpful in this fight, since it can speed up your binding—letting you heal faster.

If you have the Pollip Pouch, you can coat the Cogflies in poison so that they can deal extra damage on the Clover Dancers. Given the small room, you can use this combo to constantly inflict poison damage.

The Reaper Crest's slow but stronger moveset will be very effective during this fight. The crescent slash in particular has a wider coverage and can make landing hits a lot easier.

Although it gets rid of the Silk Skill slot, the Architect Crest is also a good offensive crest to use. It has 3 Red Tool spots, allowing you to maximize your tool use. Paired with Blue Tools like the Pollip Pouch, you can go for a more aggressive playstyle and wear down the Clover Dancers by planting traps and throwing projectiles in the small arena.

If you are in the late game, you can also opt for the Witch Crest, which speeds up your Silk generation and creates an AoE whenever you bind—both of these skills being useful when fighting in tight spaces. However, keep in mind that the Witch Crest doesn't have a Yellow Tool slot since it is exchanged for an extra Blue Tool slot.

How to Unlock Verdania

To be able to fight the Green Prince in Verdania, you will first need to unlock his cage in Sinner's Road during Act 2. After you free him, you will be able to find him around the Citadel. You will need to encounter him at all his locations to get him to talk about his home, Verdania.

If you have done this, then during Act 3, you will find the Green Prince at the edge of Greymoor by Craw Lake. Using the Elegy of the Deep you can enter Verdania in his memories by playing the Needolin in front of him.

How to Beat Clover Dancers

Clover Dancers Boss Fight Tips



Only Hit the Green Prince

Attack the Green Prince

The only enemy you can hit in this fight is the Green Prince. The shade cannot be damaged, so focus your attacks solely on the Prince.

Use the Cog Flies with the Pollip Pouch

Use the Pollip Pouch with the Cogflies

The Cogflies can be used to continuously attack the enemy until they get destroyed. Combined with the Pollip Pouch, the Cogflies can inflict poison, which will deal additional damage.

Use the Threads to Avoid the Dancer's Path

The Shade moves after the Green Prince

The Clover Dancers will signal where they will go next using thin lines. However, their actions are not in sync, so unlike the Cogwork Dancers, they will not move at the same time.

Clawline to Avoid Getting Sucked In

Clawline over the Clover Dancers

When the Clover Dancers meet in the middle, they will unleash a rotating whirlwind that can pull in Hornet if she gets too close. To prevent being sucked in, Clawline over the Dancers.

Clover Dancers Attack Patterns

Clover Dance

With threads telegraphing where they will go, the Clover Dancers dance around the arena in beat with the music.

Unlike the Cogwork Dancers, the Clover Dancers movements are not in sync, so there is a slight delay between their attacks.

Whirlwind

The Clover Dancers point their gazes at the center, then dash towards each other. They will embrace in the middle, unleashing a vortex that rotates either clockwise or counter clockwise.

Clover Dance AoE

The Clover Dancers cover the entire arena in Silk threads. Shortly after, they will dash around, following the path of the Silk.

Clover Dancers Rewards

Conjoined Heart

Conjoined Heart
The Conjoined Heart is a memento dropped by the Clover Dancers. It can be displayed in your house in Bellhart.
