The Rhinogrund is a formidable enemy in *Hollow Knight Silksong*, known for its charging horn attacks and ability to overwhelm unprepared players. At least three variants exist in Pharloom, and locating them can be challenging for those aiming to complete their bestiary.

Rhinogrund Locations in Silksong

Defeating two Rhinogrunds is required for journal completion. Key encounters include:

• Act 3 spawns: Found two rooms left of the Far Fields fast travel station. These late-game battles guarantee journal completion.

• Memorium encounter: A permanent spawn accessible later in the game.

• Far Fields encounter: Appears near a fast travel station initially but may vanish if players leave or die. It respawns in Pilgrim’s Rest after unlocking a blocked door.

Combat Strategies

• Charging Attack: Dodge using your dash ability and counterattack from behind.
• Debris Throw: Jump carefully to avoid flung rocks after the charge.
• Tools: Use Needolin or Volt Filament to bypass its armor efficiently.

Journal Requirements

Even if you miss early encounters:

• Later spawns in Memorium, Pilgrim’s Rest, and Act 3 ensure completion.
• No permanent missable entries; all battles can be revisited.
