A fearsome adversary within Hollow Knight: Silksong, the Skull Tyrant terrorizes travelers near Bone Bottom and The Marrow. While this quest appears simple, unexpected challenges await—here’s how to locate this foe and prepare for confrontation.

How to locate the Skull Tyrant in Hollow Knight: Silksong – Grand Hunt: The Terrible Tyrant

Acquire the Grand Hunt: The Terrible Tyrant quest from Bone Bottom’s Wish Board to pursue the Skull Tyrant. This colossal variant of common skull insects possesses unique abilities. Defeating it demands the wall-climbing skill, obtainable in Shellwood if unavailable. Navigate to the marked Marrow area—ascend a tunnel, evade hazards, and enter the cavern to confront the beast.

The Tyrant employs charging attacks, aerial slams, and projectile boulders. Patience is crucial due to its high durability and damage output. Upon victory, collect the dropped Crown Fragment and return it to complete the hunt.

Hidden mechanics alert!

Early exploration reveals intriguing interactions. Defeating the Tyrant before accepting the quest triggers a secondary battle in Bone Bottom after resting, temporarily damaging local structures. Repairs occur automatically on later visits, allowing progress submission once restored.
