Silksong Boss: Moss Mother

Moss Mother is the very first Silksong boss fight, and serves as a gentle skill check for basic platform game mechanics. She tends to hover on either side of the battlefield but remains just within reach of Hornet's needle at the apex of her jump. Watch out for when she swoops down to attack with her stinger, which you can avoid with a simple jump. She also slams the ceiling, dislodging rocks that rain down from above. Successive hits can stun Moss Mother, so look out for the spinning halo effect that appears above her head to sneak in a bonus hit or two. In the latter half of the fight, Moss Mother swaps out falling rocks for her own children — these crawling creatures are easily dispatched with two swift hits of your needle. She is a tutorial boss.
