Watcher at the Edge

Old warrior guarding the border of their domain, stiffened by time and awoken by song.

Needle hits to kill

Silksong multiplies every hit on this enemy by its own factor for your needle level (HealthManager damage scaling), so upgrades help here more or less than the raw damage suggests. For 900 HP, and a hit for the needle's own damage (crest attacks multiply it first).
