'Look at the wittle baby': Silksong players are struggling with an early boss, but that's fine because they love him
Oct 02, 2025 am 02:45 AMHollow Knight: Silksong has finally arrived, launching yesterday after a grueling six-year wait. The game made an explosive entrance, instantly crashing Steam and the Nintendo eShop and pulling in over 500,000 concurrent players—a massive leap from the original’s peak of roughly 75,000. While fans have been diving headfirst into the adventure, one thing’s become clear: the second boss is both a brutal challenge and utterly impossible not to love.
Warning: Spoilers ahead for Hollow Knight: Silksong’s second boss.
The Bell Beast, Silksong’s second boss, is causing chaos across the board. A quick trip to the Silksong subreddit reveals countless players stuck, frustrated, and restarting over and over. Given that many are calling this sequel "noticeably harder" than the first game, it's no shock that this boss is proving to be a major hurdle.
In most challenging Metroidvanias and Souls-likes, it's usually one of the early bosses that halts progress. You're still getting used to the mechanics, your reflexes are shaky, but with enough tries, you push through. What’s unusual this time? Players don’t just want to beat the boss—they want to hug it.

“Despite all the disagreements we can all agree this guy is such a cutie patootie, best boi,” says a Reddit user posting a screenshot of the Bell Beast. “Look at him, look at the wittle baby.” And honestly? It is undeniably cute—plump, coiled up, and radiating sleepy charm.
“I’m pretty sure it eats the dude hiding in the Bonebottom station," writes one player. "But I can't even be mad. It's so adorable." Another chimes in, "Gosh, wish I could pet him. He's such a good boy."
If you're struggling to get past it, take a look at our guide on how to beat the Bell Beast. Or, if you’re like many others who find it too charming to stay mad at, you might just keep playing—for the sole reason of spending more time with this fierce yet fluffy menace.
