Silksong Boss: Bell Beast

The Bell Beast is trapped in a silk web, but once you use your Silkspear to free her, she decides to attack. She burrows into the sea of bells that litter the battlefield, bursting out of the ground to rush or leap at Hornet with startling speed. While the Bell Beast's moveset is fairly straightforward, her aggression can easily get the better of you, especially once she starts tossing bells around. Upon defeat, the Bell Beast becomes the Silksong fast travel mount, similar to The Last Stag in Hollow Knight.
