An additional 15 hits are required to finish the fight once it is in this state. The Knight is small enough to walk under the Collector when it hops, but, if needed, the Shade Cloak is helpful for avoiding the Collector.Īfter the Collector's health reaches 0, it leans over as if staggered and stays there in place slowly chuckling. They do require SOUL, which can be collected by striking the Collector with the Dream Nail while it is staggered, or by striking summoned enemies in general.ĭue to the Collector's movements, it is recommended to stay on the ground at all times. The Desolate Dive/ Descending Dark and Vengeful Spirit/ Shade Soul Spells are very useful for clearing summoned enemies and damaging the Collector too. It is a good tactic to deal with the summoned enemies as quickly as possible.

Cyclone Slash is very useful for clearing summoned enemies and damaging the Collector. Nail Arts maximize the damage done to the Collector. It is recommended to get the Coiled Nail first as this makes it possible to kill the enemies it spawns in one hit equipping the Fragile Strength/ Unbreakable Strength Charm when using the Channelled Nail is also a viable strategy.

After taking 350 damage, the Collector transitions into Phase 2, increasing the speed of the Jar attack. When 4 or more summons are alive, the Collector stops dropping jars. The number of jars that the Collector drops depends on the number of summons still alive and the current Phase. There is a set number of hops the Collector can make before performing another attack.

Hop: The Collector's method of traversing the arena: it quickly jumps a set distance with its hands raised.

Grab: The Collector leaps towards the Knight's position and makes grabbing motions, dealing contact damage.

When all of the glass jars have fallen, the Collector drops back down. A noise of rattling glass sounds for each jar that comes down and can be used to determine the number of jars that fall, along with a puff of dust signifying where they fall. The jars shatter when they hit the ground, and each glass jar randomly lets out 1 of 3 enemies: Vengeflies, Baldurs and Aspid Hunters. While falling, the jars do not break when they hit the Knight, but they do deal contact damage. The glass jars fall from random positions in the ceiling.

Jar: The Collector leaps into the ceiling, causing glass jars to rain down.

The Collector can be heard laughing outside the padded door of the Tower of Love. It also has a connection to the previous owner of the key to the tower, a Hallownest aristocrat bug that can be found dead deep within the Queen's Gardens. Despite its attention to the Grubs, it only has three within its tower. It trapped the Grubs from the Forgotten Crossroads colony and recorded their location throughout Hallownest on a map. While always displaying a joyous demeanour, the Collector is only concerned with the preservation of other creatures. It lives hidden away in the locked Tower of Love along with a large collection of bugs from throughout Hallownest that are preserved, both dead and alive, in glass jars.
