Silksong - Tormented Trobbio

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

Tormented Trobbio is practically the same as Trobbio but slightly aggressive. It's a fast-paced boss that will only get more aggressive as it gets injured. This makes the Threadstorm ability incredibly useful in this fight, since its wide AoE can help keep a good distance between you and Trobbio if it gets too close.

If you have the Pollip Pouch, when you consume the Flea Brew, you will temporarily trail around a poison cloud. Given how you will always move around the room, you can use this combo to give Trobbio chip damage as you evade his flurry of attacks.

We also recommend bringing the Magnetite Dice which gives you breathing room if you do slip up by letting you tank hits without any 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.

Alternately, the Architect Crest is a good offensive crest especially for enclosed arenas like Trobbio's. While it does remove the slot for your Silk Skill, it replaced it with another Red Tool slot, allowing you to maximize on tools during the fight.

You can also use Delver's Drill once you're above him after dodging his tornado attack. This will require a bit of timing and precision, but worth the damage when executed perfectly.

Ascendant's Grip also works well during this boss fight, as it allows you to take shelter on the top walls during his AoE attacks and heal yourself when needed.

It is also recommended that you get 2 needle upgrades before fighting Trobbio so that you can increase your overall attack damage.

Checkmark Use Ascendant's Grip to Take Refuge
Checkmark Flea Brew and Pollip Pouch Create Poison AoE

Use Cross Stitch During the Tornado Attack

You can use Cross Stitch to parry Tormented Trobbio's tornado attack and launch a counterattack of your own. Since you'll disappear during the counterattack, you won't take damage, making it a great strategy to use against the boss.

Use Delver's Drill During Tornado Mode

You can try using Delver's Drill against Tormented Trobbio while he's using his Tornado Mode. Be sure to time it perfectly, given that missing the target will result to you being vulnerable to Trobbio's attacks.

How to Get Delver's Drill and Effects

Use Ascendant's Grip to Avoid Attacks

Ascendant's Grip can also provide as a sort of temporary refuge against Tormented Trobbio's attacks, enabling you to stay on the top walls and heal when necessary while the area is being flooded with Trobbio's AoE attacks.

How to Get Ascendant's Grip and Effects

Use Flea Brew and Pollip Pouch to Create Poison AoE

When you consume the Flea Brew while having the Pollip Pouch equipped in your crest, you will temporarily emit a Poison Cloud that will follow you around wherever you go.

Tormented Trobbio Attack Patterns

Jump to a Section!
Phase 1 Phase 2

Phase 1 Attacks

Spin Tornado

Tormented Trobbio spins around for a bith and then then releases two tornadoes that release from both sides that shoot up.

Lateral Bombs

Tormented Trobbio throws around bombs that explode in either a horizontal or vertical pattern. You can predict where and how they will explode by the smoke they produce before exploding.

Dazzling Fireworks

Tormented Trobbio will take to the air and flash a bright light and create a small explosion around him. This will then summon circles of sparkly fireworks that will explode. Try to get out of the circle's range as they explode.

Stage Trapdoor Manipulation

Tormented Trobbio will pop in and out of the bottom of the stage by different trapdoors. You can get damaged if you manage to step on this, so make sure to pay attention to the ground.

Phase 2 Attacks

Trapdoor Lasers

The trapdoors will now release lasers that shoot upward similar to the bombs. You can easily tell where these will appear but Tormented Trobbio will also be able to pop up from one of these to attack you so stay on guard.
