The Red Knight

Hollow Knight: Red Glare= In the game Hollow Knight: Red Glare, the Red Knight is featured as the main playable character. The game is set in an infected Hallownest that is slowly succumbing to the infection. The areas are seen as they are long before the events of Hollow Knight. The Fungal Wastes are now seen as the Mantis Kingdom, as they have not yet been infected and turned into a wasteland. Many other lands are seen differently, as shown down below.

Pre-Game
The Red Knight was made as a Prototype Vessel to be more capable of sealing the Radiance. His strength, speed, agility, and knowledge was tripled, but he was found to be incapable of holding the Void, only infection, and cast aside. Unbeknownst to the Pale King, the Red Knight still lived, though now without a memory...

Abilities
Though incapable of sealing the Radiance, the Red Knight can absorb bits of Infection and store it behind his mask - hence the red eyes. Instead of using SOUL, the Red Knight expends Infection that he collected to heal and use abilities. His Nail is filled with ink created using Infection that he purified.

Boss
Though seen running in various areas, (Greenpath, Fog Canyon, Deepnest) the Red Knight is only met as a boss in the Hive. Before he engages, the Red Knight stares at the Knight for a while, the Hollow Knight Title Page Theme playing in the background. His attacks are as follows:


 * Slash - This is somewhat similar to the Knight's attack but is in an overhead fashion rather than a sideways one.
 * Dash Stab - Red dashes toward the Knight holding out his nail. It deals two masks of damage. This is his opening move.
 * Shockwave - Red plunges his nail into the ground sending shockwaves in both directions
 * Leap - Red jumps across the arena.
 * Mantis Claw - Red jumps and clings to a wall, sliding down it and slashing as he descends.
 * Ink Spray - Red's unique move. He sprays ink from his nail in the direction of the Knight. Similar to the Knight's Vengeful Spirit Attack.

Stagger
Red plunges his nail into the ground and clings to it, breathing heavily. If Red is not attacked during the Stagger Phase, his health regenerates completely and the Boss Fight continues.

After defeated, Red can be found in Dirtmouth in a building near the well that leads to the Forgotten Crossroads. Red can also be fought in Goddhome.

Locations
The Hive, Greenpath, Fog Canyon, Deepnest, Dirtmouth, Godhome.

Trivia

 * Red can be found in Sheo's Hut before the boss fight.
 * His boss theme is a mix of the Hollow Knight's Theme, Hornet's Theme, and the False Knight's Theme.
