Rhinogrunds are special enemies that you will come across while exploring in Hollow Knight Silksong. You will encounter these creatures in the mid and end-game stages, and these are tough bugs that might even topple Hornet if you are not careful enough. Rhinogrunds, as suggested by their name, are enemies that have a horn-like protrusion, much like a rhinoceros.

As such, Rhinogrunds are large, aggressive, and covered in a coat of armor. They charge at you like a train, jump-slam at times, and resort to throwing boulders. They’re some of the meanest enemies in the game, and you have to find them if you’re seeking to fill out your Journal and 100% the game. If you’re not sure where to find them, this article will explain where you can find Rhinogrunds easily in Hollow Knight Silksong.

You find the Rhinogrunds in two different locations in Hollow Knight Silksong:

  • Far Fields
  • Memorium

Here is a more detailed explanation of both these areas and where you will find Rhinogrunds there:

Far Fields

The first location is near the Far Fields fast travel point. You’ll find the Rhinogrund roaming about the area here, and you should deal with it immediately as it despawns upon leaving. If you miss this one, you can come back to it later in Act 3. Act 3 will spawn two more for you to hunt, which will suffice for the Journal.

Memorium

You will also find one Rhinogrund in the Memorium of Holllow Knight Silksong. Once you enter the Memorium, keep heading to the right and you will encounter a Rhinogrund early on. It is impossible to miss, and it does not despawn either unlike its other appearance.

How To Defeat Rhinogrunds in Hollow Knight Silksong

Dealing with the Rhinogrunds requires you to manage their aggression. They give you very little time to breathe and constantly charge at you. Be prepared to jump over them and chain pogo attacks constantly. You could also sneak up behind them. Their armor is weakest at the back, and this is the only spot you can exploit to deal damage. 

Apart from the charge, you also need to be wary of their rock-slinging attack. They’ll use their horn to crack the ground and fling a rock at you. This rock is deceptively fast, so be ready to dodge the moment you see one fiddling with the ground.
