Cutting the wire drops the chandelier onto one of the Watcher Knight shells, permanently crushing it, and reducing the number of knights to five.

A part of the ceiling is breakable directly left to the arena, revealing a secret room containing the anchoring for a chandelier.

The theme that plays when The Knight fights the Watcher Knights. Absorbing him and the other two Dreamers will open the seal to the Black Egg Temple.

Defeating all six Watcher Knights unlocks the doors of the room, granting the Knight access to the top of the Watcher's Spire where Lurien lays at rest.

Several charms, such as Quick Focus and Stalwart Shell, can help the Knight recover quicker, while Fragile Strength and Shaman Stone can boost their attacks and Spells against the Watcher Knights. Since the Watcher Knights attack in twos for all six, they can be unpredictable in nature as they can move at a fast pace while curled and their nails have a long range. They are immune to Nail attacks while curled in a ball, although Spells can still damage them while they are attacking. A few seconds go by before a second knight reanimates, followed by a third once one of the two goes down. When the Knight enters the arena, the fly swarm reanimates one Watcher Knight, attacking by slashing its nail, or by curling into a ball, moving across the arena either by rolling on the ground or by bouncing twice. Located in the Watcher's Spire in the City of Tears, the Watcher Knights serve as the final obstacle before the Knight can access Lurien.

When trespassers appear, the flies reanimate the shells to attack everyone who enters the Watcher's Spire regardless of their affiliation with Lurien. Following the Infection's return, only six of the knights were still alive by then and have mysteriously burst from their shells into a swarm of infected flies. When Lurien went in a permanent rest with the other Dreamers to seal the Black Egg Temple to keep the infected Hollow Knight at bay, the Watcher Knights were tasked in defending the spire that Lurien lived in.
