In Hollow Knight Silksong, Gurr the Outcast is a challenging boss encountered in the Far Fields during Act 3. This fast-paced battle tests your reflexes with underground ambushes, projectile patterns, and environmental hazards. Below, learn how to locate Gurr, counter his attacks, and claim your reward.

Where to Find Gurr the Outcast

Head to the eastern Far Fields once you’ve progressed to Act 3 and acquired the Silk Soar ability. The fight triggers automatically upon entering the arena.

Optimal Loadout

• Silk Skill: Use Thread Storm for high damage when he emerges.
• Tools: Equip Cogfly with Poison Pouch for passive damage and Fractured Mask for health insurance.
• Crest: The Witch Crest boosts silk bind attacks during brief openings.

Combat Strategy

Focus on mobility and ground dust trails signaling Gurr’s emergence points. React quickly to attack indicators:

• Avoid clustered shurikens by repositioning
• Leap over his rolling charge
• Evade bone spikes by stepping away from dusty trails

Attack Patterns

• Expanding Shurikens: Hovering projectiles grow before disappearing—either retreat or slash through them.
• Charge Attack: Gurr rolls backward, lunges forward, and burrows. Time your jump to avoid damage.
• Bone Spikes: Dust lines precede spike eruptions; sidestep to safety.

Reward

Victory grants access to a nearby chamber containing the Grass Doll, essential for completing The Hidden Hunter quest.
