Sturdy Fools are enemies in Hollow Knight. These warriors fight in the Colosseum of Fools using their crescent-shaped blades.[1]

Behaviour and Tactics

Sturdy Fools have two attacks:

  • Slash: Lunges and swipes at the Knight when in close range.
  • Weapon Toss: Tosses its weapon in an arc at the Knight.

When they attack in melee range, simply jump over them and down-strike them for an easy hit. Hitting the blade back at the Sturdy Fool or any other enemy does 10 damage.
