How I Beat The Last Judge In Hollow Knight: Silksong

I still remember the first time I faced the Last Judge in Hollow Knight: Silksong. It was 2026, and I thought I was ready. But that runback? That endless platforming gauntlet filled with sandworms and bell pogos? It nearly made me quit. Have you ever spent more time dying on the way to a boss than actually fighting it? If so, you know exactly what I mean. The Last Judge is the grand finale of Act 1, and it’s a wall. But with the right approach, that wall crumbles.

The Runback: My 30-Second Sprint

The most intimidating part isn’t the boss—it’s getting there. I used to fight every enemy, losing health and patience. Then I optimized. Here’s what I do now:

• Keep moving. Dash and jump across the first sandworm gaps. Don’t stop to fight.

• Leap left, wall jump up. After a couple of platforms, don’t go right immediately. Go left and wall jump to skip tricky sections.

• Pogo the bell. I use the Wanderer crest for easy pogo jumps. Run, jump, dash, and float over the next gap to avoid an enemy.

• Wall jump, pogo, repeat. Hit the far wall, wall jump up, move left for another pogo. Then jump, float, dash to the final platform.

With practice, I can do this in roughly 30 seconds without fighting a single enemy. 🏃‍♂️💨

The Fight: Aggression and Preparation

For the Last Judge, I found the Wanderer crest to be the best. You can find it in the far left of Bone Bottom, but you’ll need to go through the Wormways. It lets me land fast, constant hits. The other must-have is the Magma Bell
