LOST KIN | Let's play Hollow Knight - #26
0We got the Monarch Wings. But before we go and explore new areas with it, we take another tumble against the broken vessel... as the Lost Kin
Lost Kin is a hidden boss in Hollow Knight. It is the Dream variant of the Broken Vessel, faster and tougher than its physical counterpart.
Lost Kin shares its basic attacks with Broken Vessel but attacks at a much faster pace.
Dealing with the Infected Balloons can be the trickiest part of the fight as the rate they spawn can prevent healing. Unnecessary damage can also be taken when trying to dodge Lost Kin's attacks and colliding with them.
The Defender's Crest Charm offers a damaging barrier around the Knight which defeats the Infected Balloons, providing ample time to heal. Other area of effect Charms like Thorns of Agony and Spore Shroom can also be very useful to take out groups of Infected Balloons. Baldur Shell, when combined with Thorns of Agony, is also very helpful in this role. Shape of Unn combined with Quick Focus is useful for dodging the Infected Balloons. This approach can be more useful in the Godmaster content Pantheons, where Lost Kin is not fought in isolation, as it is generally more useful against other bosses than Defender's Crest.
As with Broken Vessel, it is recommended to stay low to the ground as Lost Kin jumps around a lot. The only reason that would warrant jumping would be to avoid the Slash attack.
Like Broken Vessel, Lost Kin takes knockback from attacks. As such, the Vengeful Spirit/Shade Soul Spell is useful against it as well, especially when combined with the Shaman Stone Charm. Desolate Dive/Descending Dark is an all-around good Spell to use in this fight thanks to its invincibility frames and range to clear Infected Balloons too. The constantly spawning Infected Balloons also allow for speedy acquisition of SOUL and extremely aggressive use of Spells given the limited chances to heal during the fight.
Lost Kin also staggers very easily, meaning that using the Quick Slash Charm can easily knock it down and allow for a moment to heal.
As with the other Dream Bosses, the Knight does not die when they lose all their health during this battle, but simply wakes up next to Lost Kin. This means that the Fragile Strength and Fragile Heart Charms can be used continually without breaking.
