How to unlock the Test of Resolve achievement in Hollow Knight - Definitive Guide
You will encounter the first battle against Hornet in Greenpath. She will appear throughout the area but will flee when you get close. Finally, she will challenge you when you arrive at the place you acquire the Mothwing Cloak. She is very fast so don't expect to use Focus too often. She will jump and ran at you often so look out for that. Her attacks include lunging at you with her nail from both the ground and air so try and time her lunge so you don't get hit. She will spin her nail and thread around her in a spherical pattern which will damage you if you're in its range. Lastly, she will throw her nail at you before retracting it. The nail has limited range but can hit you. She is vulnerable during this phase particularly from the distance between her and her nail, so you can use this time to attack her or heal but don't spend too long doing this or she will resume the offensive and make sure to jump past her nail when she's retracting it or it will hit you. If you hit her enough times, she will take a moment to rest, you can use this time to either hit her or heal but she will get up after a few seconds or when you hit her again, so be careful. When you do enough damage to her, she will retreat and this trophy will be yours.
