Buzzbo

Most creatures are either hunters or prey. Some, however, are simply alive, and though they do not hunt, they cannot be hunted, either.

**Buzzbo** is an optional boss in *Hallow Knight*.

## Lore

Buzzbo is the most powerful warrior the Lair has seen, which earned him the honor of it being named after him, Buzzbo's Lair.

## In-Game Events

Buzzbo, understandably, is quite pissed off at Daniel for entering the Hive and beginning to slaughter everyone there. This results in an inevitable battle between the two.

## Behaviour and Tactics

Buzzbo has a wide range of skills and tactics:

* **Lunge**: Buzzbo lunges along the ground with his needle. At 0.08s intervals while dashing, Buzzbo sends out waves of honey spikes behind him, alternating between 3 and 4 spikes. This lunge covers about 65% of the arena.
* **Leap**: Buzzbo somersaults as his main way of moving in the arena. At at 0.1s intervals, Buzzbo sends out a honey spike aimed straight down. This jump spans to the top of the arena and does not track Daniel.
* **Surprise Volley**: Buzzbo teleports near Daniel and slashes his weapon, sending out seven honey spikes in Daniel's general direction, with the first aimed directly downwards and the others each spaced 22.5 degrees from one another. Buzzbo can appear on either side of Daniel. The slash covers a wide range and shifts Buzzbo forward slightly. In addition, Buzzbo can do this attack while Daniel is in the air. The slash covers about 35% of the arena (and slightly more if he uses this attack in the air).
* **Swarm Release** (Unhallowed): Buzzbo spews 12 Hivelings into the air from his mouth. These Hivelings disappear beyond the top of the arena, then 7 fly down one after another in shallow arcs from random positions in the ceiling, slowly tracking Daniel's movement. Daniel can hit the Hivelings with his Nail, (granting SOUL) or destroy them with Spells. While the Hivelings are assaulting Daniel, Buzzbo Lunges, then Leaps along with an additional varying third attack. It is important to note that if Buzzbo dies after the first Hiveling starts their assault, the Hivelings continue their assault while Hive Knight is dying. The battle always starts with 7 Hivelings descending with Buzzbo not actually on-screen. This attack only occurs after Buzzbo has reached 590 HP.
* **Honey Spikes** (Unhallowed): Buzzbo jabs his weapon into the ground and creates three orbs of spike-filled honey. These orbs can appear anywhere within the top two-thirds of the arena. Each orb contains 8 spikes, and when it bursts, the spikes travel in the direction in which they were pointing. The orbs form rapidly one after another. No two orbs occupy the same row or column as they vibrate in their positions. Daniel can move the orbs when they strike them with their Nail but the orbs cannot be destroyed. The orbs explode in the order in which they formed, every half second after the third and final orb's spikes appear. The orbs are dangerous as soon as the spikes show up. Buzzbo Leaps as soon as the first orb bursts. This attack only occurs after Buzzbo has reached 885 HP.

During both Swarm Release and Honey spikes, Buzzbo sends out honey spikes spiraling out of him at 0.06s intervals and 23 degrees between each spike and the next.
Each honey spike sent out by Buzzbo moves out at normal speed for 0.1 seconds, slows down for 0.25 seconds, and then continues to fly out at normal speed.
