8) Widow

Widow is one of the special bosses players can challenge in Hollow Knight Silksong. This is also one of the game's most challenging bosses because of its range of hard-to-dodge AoE attacks.
Players can find this boss above the Bellhart area, which can be accessed through the Shellwood area. It is recommended to complete The Lost Fleas quest and obtain the Flea Brew offensive charm before challenging this entity. This is because the consumable item increases movement and attack speed.
