Forgotten Child

The Forgotten Child is a main boss in Hollow Knight: Deathzone. She is fought in the Lost Island, and upon defeat, grants Wasp the Helm of the Gate Keeper.

Lore
The Forgotten Child was once a regular girl who lived in Stingtown. As a girl, she had a thirst for adventure and eventually ventured off into the depths of the Deathzone. She found the Void Ocean at the bottom of the world, and was consumed by the void and became the Forgotten Child.

Upon her return to Stingtown, she discovered that her people were gone, killed by the Predators. Scared and enraged, the Forgotten Child ran away from home and settled in the Lost Island, where she created Void-like creatures to help protect her.

Behaviour and Tactics
The boss can be found on a sandy platform at the rightmost edge of the Lost Island. Below is a list of attacks she uses during her boss fight:
 * Orb Toss: The Forgotten Child spawns a single colorful orb, and tosses it upwards. The orb will then arc back down, this time aiming towards Wasp’s position when the attack was started.
 * Orb Summon: The Forgotten Child will summon three colorful orbs that are launched at Wasp one at a time.
 * Front Slash: The Forgotten Child swings her arm once if Wasp is in front of her, leaving a short, colorful trail before leaping away.
 * Leap: The Forgotten Child will sometimes leap from one end of the arena to the center, causing a shockwave in the direction she is facing.
 * Teleport: The Forgotten Child may teleport away if her attacks are interrupted.

Tips and Tricks
For the Orb Toss attack, simpky moving away after the orb stops in mid-air will mislead the orb to the floor. Similarly, the orbs in the Orb Summon can be mislead as well, but you will need to move away again after another orb is shot. Despite not being a Nail attack, the Front Slash’s colorful slash can be parried.
