In the second Phase, the Knight must begin healing before the nail reaches the end of its range to have enough time to heal.

Healing without Charms is safest when the Knight dodges a nail and puts themself on the opposite side of Xero's path, often causing the returning nail to miss. The Spell Vengeful Spirit/ Shade Soul is very useful against Xero because it has near infinite range and it can hit more than once in a single cast, especially when fired in the same direction Xero himself moves. The Spell Howling Wraiths/ Abyss Shriek can deal a lot of damage, but Xero bounces around and may not take all the hits. To damage Xero, Nail Arts, especially Great Slash and Dash Slash, are useful. Hollow Knight Boss Discussion - Paintmaster Sheoĭashing, especially Shadow Dashing, is a very helpful tactic for dodging Xero's attacks. At 50% HP, Xero spawns 2 more nails, and his attack rate increases, with only 0.75 seconds between each Nail Cast attack. Coming into contact with the nail while it is being drawn back still deals damage. While floating around, he constantly shoots out one of his nails in the Knight's direction and draws it back.
Immortal Words Īll Elsecallers must speak the Immortal Words of the Knights Radiant, which are a set of rules by which Radiants live. In the Knights Radiant, they tend to be among the best tacticians, and are logistical geniuses, aided in part by their abilities to create food and water for armies, but also their ability to move in and out of Shadesmar. They are good at encouraging others, but some are known to set their sights upon the things they want and then seize them.

They have their share of scholars, and often a large number of theologians, but also attract those who are interested in leadership. This makes them one of the most open and welcoming of orders, though they do tend to attract those who are less flamboyant. They seek self-improvement and personal betterment in their lives, but aren't limited to one specific theme or set of Ideals. Thoughtful, careful, and cautious, the Elsecallers are generally regarded as the wisest of the Radiants. Because of this, the order is open to many different types, so long as they want to improve themselves. In this case, the theme is progress - becoming better with each oath, seeking to explore their true potential and reach it. Elsecaller oaths are, like those of the Lightweavers or Skybreakers, themed toward the individual.
