Mantis Lord

Just upgrade your nail bro

They are completely optional

If you can’t beat this, good luck defeating the Godhome version where all 3 are attacking at the same time...

The first time or the tenth?
There's a difference.
I hit a sweet spot of fun at the fourth or so

Can't you open shortcuts to bypass most of the obstacles?

Yeah, obviously not the tenth but i'd say the same after 3 or 4 i had enough

mantis lords are piss easy you casual fuck just jump over them and stop being an impatient retard.

Literally one of the most fun fights in the game.

Best fight (nightmare version ofc)

He broke me. He was the one who made me say "I'm done with Godmaster, I'm just not good enough." Sure I could beat him sometimes, but it was always hard, and I'd always skim by with only a few health left, and no soul, and I'd basically be finished off the next fight.

Some bosses you learn and they become trivial, you're bored to tears any time you have to fight them.
Zote on the other hand always gets my heart beating. His pattern can always change.

how?

if you think these are impossible, stop playing the game right now 'cause you won't finish it anyway.

Mantis Lords are optional, I don't know the specifics but you can upgrade your Nail in the bottom left area of City of Tears.

I got the gold statue and the radiant dot and I don't feel like I've mastered him in a meaningful way.
This bitch is a close second for being the hardest boss to do hitless.

Once you eventually beat them you'll be like "huh that wasn't so hard actually"
There are much harder bosses later in the game

I always hear people say how hard this game is, but I haven't died more than once on any boss so far, up to City of Tears. Does it get harder later on?

I got the game on ps4, but i'd like to know on a scale of 1 to 10 how comfy the switch version is?

LITERALLY impossible

DLC bosses are the hardest imo, but the game definitely increases in difficulty as you go on, but DLC really spikes the difficulty compared to the rest of the game

11

beating the game isnt hard but trying to get to 112% is very hard

Much harder. The 3 final bosses will maul you to death. City of Tears is the start of the game my dude. Everything you've done so far has been a straight line tutorial.

Is the DLC all post game, or is it sprinkled throughout?

>stay on ground
>hit projective grubs
>cast scream
>go to 2

Once you've unlock the content you can do whenever

god dammit, guess i'll pay for it again Switch and metroidvanias ae a deadly fucking combo for my wallet

sprinkled throughout I guess, but mostly late game.

FUCK the Lost Kin

Is the DLC confusing to unlock like Bloodborne, or will I know it when I see it? Also, are there any missable NPC quests or things like that?

just fucking learn their pattern..
All the attacks are the same.

git gud

You can't miss [most of] it.

Three of the early (somewhat) bosses have dream world versions which get considerably tougher
Traitor Lord can be pretty annoying since it has an AoE attack that covers the entire arena and can't be jumped over
The two final bosses and their godmaster versions are tough as shit. Godmaster in general will kick your ass repeatedly. Grimm too.
You can consider White Palace and Path of Pain bosses too

They're optional, brainlet. Go to city of tears.

*jumps straight at you*

>just don't try to hit the first one, it's a decoy always go for the second.
If you're quick enough you can easily hit both of them while taking no damage

Nothing is missable in the game besides 1 ending that you should do straight away, which is just defeating the final boss and seeing the credits. This becomes missable due to the "true ending" affecting the boss fight, making the first ending missable.

Otherwise, the DLC is "slightly" absurd to unlock. Mostly behind some breakable walls if you arent too keen on finding them.
The first one is behind 3 consecutive breakable walls, similar to Ash Lake in Dark Souls 1.
Second one is mostly a key you need to find, if you somehow used up the rest of them, which is in a slightly absurd location you'd never come back to once completing it, also behind a breakable wall, with a little miniboss. If you already have a spare key, you wouldn't need to find it.
For the most part, you'll know something is up when you see these two DLC locations. They're peculiar compared to everything else.

i beat this game and i've never seen this boss

Sure, but it's more of a safe strat, especially when you feel overwhelmed by the boss

It sucks that you can't fast travel to the entrance to Godhome. At least the Grimm Troupe has the decency of moving their camp to the town

Mantis lord is the first challenging boss.

I hate him so much.

The dream nail was a better narrative device then just talking.
But I don't think they will reuse it, because doing that would kind of devalue the knight having it.

myla

Yes, and I didn't get to them. Bosses like Nightmare King Grimm that are 100% just muscle memorization are fine; I can autistically grind those out. Any sort of randomness or uncertainty, I just fall apart.

Perhaps my favorite thing about hollow knight from a sort of meta perspective is just beating the game isnt super hard im struggling to think of what REQUIRED boss is hardest. All the hard bosses are optional. Kind of a neat idea for game design. Nightmare king Grimm is far and away the hardest boss in the game so far hes also second place.

That final boss battle sequence was just absolutely splendid. A genuine "No way!?" moment.
Even though I kind of sort of anticipated it, I stil felt taken aback. Like those mad men actually did it.

I had much more trouble with Soul Master, who was before Mantis Lords (at least I think, I just started and don't know the normal progression)

So fucking cool. Plus the extra payoff at the end of Godmaster.

I hope Silksong has a similar long tail to it, they did a fantastic job with all the extra content they added to Hollow Knight.

>Actually saving Zote
Why? All he does is bring you misery

Ignore 'Git Gud' posters
Upgrade the Nail
Then Git Gud

I did it on my first try :)

I mean you can basically beat the main story at what, 25 or 30% completion?

1) I didn't know he'd shit on me and cuck me out of the ugly girl bug and finally fuck me in the pantheon.
2) I crave misery.

My steel soul speedrun completed at 14%

>everyone talks about how awesome Hollow Knight is
>also talk about how much they struggle with it
Is the struggle really worth it?

Honestly, a lot of Hollow Knights gameplay comes from the "eureka" moment of finally gitting gud and defeating a boss you struggled with for so long. It has a VERY good feedback loop with it's combat. Once something clicks, it clicks forever and you only go higher from there.

>>>also talk about how much they struggle with it
Those people are shit at video games, like game journalist shit. I would consider myself at an average skill level and I have beaten the game (not the DLC's tho)

The base game of Hollow Knight, aka the combat, but also the exploration, the sidequests and the general world, is what hooked people in. It's tough but not anything extremely difficult once you get down to it, besides a couple parts.

The struggle mostly come from the DLC content, which are very fight-focused.

Reverse for me. I found platforming very easy in hollow knight.

It's worth it if you enjoy the aesthetics, the exploration, the characters and the lore
It's not inhumanly difficult, but it is a fairly challenging game especialy for someone who's not used to having their reflexes and reaction times tested.

The main game and story takes some figuring but you'll get through it if you have a brain. The Godmaster stuff ranges from pretty tough to insane to straight up fucking stupid tier (but the stupid stuff doesn't really do anything but give you a nice shiny checkmark).

Basically, the struggle goes as deep as you want it to go.

I'm so close bros, give me your strength

Watcher Knights is probably the hardest required boss

There is more to it besides hitting your face against the wall until you learn and can rape any boss on autopilot.
The world is interesting, the levels are beautiful and freeflowing. There are characters and choices which are not telegraphed as such. If you pay attention the story is there to understand (except mr mushroom who's a joke at the expense of deeplore).
But once you experience it all you're left playing the bosses in boss rush mode and you become a bit focused on that.
It's not just a game about being hardcore. But it can be if you want it to be and imo it's fun at it.

The base game is really not that hard. It's so open ended that the difficulty never really spikes or ramps up in any way. The DLC (at least the bosses) is infinitely more hard by comparison.

Based and dedicated.

No way there were so easy.

Dude what.

It’s not impossible at all, just pay attention. Don’t sperg out and start mashing buttons.

>Radiant markoth
Use the nailmaster charm. Fucking seriously. Dash slash will havays hurt him.
Also soul eater. Fit in shaman stone/spell twister as well. Fill up your soul tank, then nuke him when he pulls out his second shield
Good luck user. Good fucking luck

ANYTHING that does two masks damage is bullshit.

Getting the normal ending is piss easy, its all the post game stuff that is very hard.

If you go straight through it without doing many upgrades and whatnot then the hardest boss is probably the last.

I never could beat radiance so I gave up and settled for the sealed siblings ending

I haven't gotten a single ending, I
just grind pantheon.
I watched every ending on youtube.
I wikied mr mushroom.

Pretty sure Pure Vessel and Absolute Radiance are the hardest bosses, though NKG would definitely be third.

How the fuck do I beat Nightmare Grimm?

I'm trying to do the speed completion achievement
Any tips on watcher knights?
should I go out of my way to get upgrades, charms, etc. or just face them without upgrading. I'm trying to beat them without wasting too much time on them

Mothposters begone and take your shitty "god" with you

It's been said a billion times in the past but treat it like a ballet dance. Wait for him to move first, then move. Don't ever chase him, just stay in the center and react to everything he does. At first just try to dodge everything, once you learn how to dodge everything learn when you can get a swing in. Usually you can only get a single hit in per move so build your charms around that.

There's tons of shit to do, but it really doesn't feel all that rewarding in the end.

If you've beaten all bosses on radiant you'll probably beat PoH in 2-3 runs tho.

You can get 112% without beating Pantheon of Hallownest. So even people that hide behind their max percentage might not have truly beaten the game. Only a single percentage of all players beat the PoH. Of course I imagine the actual clear rate is much lower because the PC version has a trainer that allows you every kind of cheat imaginable. I can easily believe a good portion of PoH clears are Godmode assisted.

God thank fuck for Bloodstained. I almost offed myself when they didn't announce a Silksong release date.

yeah I beat dream vessel on my first try and NKG is too fast for me. A cheese build I've seen is stacking all of the summon charms you have and then just focusing on dodging/killing ghosts

Parts of the map that you havent uncovered, ofcourse.

have you found the area of the map with the colosseum? Go looking around there

I've yet to do anything in the CoF, does anything specific beyond %completion being visible open up with post-game?

You can reach him by pogoing off the spikes.

Join in on the hype train.

Get the upgraded nail, the one you don't need the ore for. Learn to dodge their attacks and get as many hits in as possible. There's no good easy way to be them at that point, I'm afraid.

I beat it my first try and thought everyone was memeing cause it looked cool. Do people go to the fight early or something?

Literally one of the easier (but very enjoyable) fights. I saw everyone hyping it as something very difficult but beat it on the 2nd or 3rd try. Be patient, there's many options to deal damage and you can even heal when they do the spinning nail throw.

Thanks senpai, I would buy digital games if they werent such a big fucking rip off.

How the fuck do I beat Nosk bros. I just put in a solid hour of attempts and had to take a breather

I lost to them the first time we fought... and honestly the second time too because i was not expecting that after you defeated one the others would join the fry (though it was kind of obvious).

Still, once you learn the attack patterns and with the right charms they become quite easy. I think i used two. The one that poisons the air around you when you charge the one that charges the mana pool when you get hit. Can´t remember if i had long nail or not. With those it was quite easy.

The ones actually giving me trouble are the rolling bugs guarding the upper levels of the city. They still trash me even though i have the long nail and have visited all the masters...

You jump and hit down. Thats it.

It's equal parts pattern recognition and reaction time.

Hug the left wall of the little hill in the middle. He ALWAYS will walk over you and you can get a ton of free hits in, just watch out for the ceiling attack.

Just get shadow cloak.

The game's one, true bullshit boss.

cool bait

She was a warrior, and literally reveled in combat. Dying while fighting the traitor is how she wanted to go out. Having learned this, it makes the moment all the better.

His pattern is easy, but sometimes he just likes to randomly walk into you

>able to beat Pure Vessel in the hall of gods, without taking a hit no less
>can't even get into his second phase during his pantheon fight

Bros, I just can't handle the pressure. Knowing that I literally lose like a half hour of progress if I die, it breaks my concentration.

The fifth pantheon is this cunt and AR, everything else is just noise

You're meant to fight Soul Master first, but a lot of people (including myself) go for the Mantis Lords as soon as possible anyways

Nah, it's actually pretty alright. I just reached the Watcher Knights and they're way worse - not just harder but more bullshit and less fun.

playing it now and it's very very comfy

Playing through Bloodstained makes me glad that Silksong has an Dawn of Sorrow-esque system for its new charm system.

Holy fuck you're like a little baby

zote is rough but he's nowhere near Absolute Radiance imho famalam

jesus that sounds stressful

any tips for killing watcher knights for the first time? I'm done for tonight but I'll be back to working on it tomorrow.

I didn't do mantis lords til i had spiral nail and killed a dreamer.
I kept blowing it off because there was always something new to explore.

Fuck lost kin and fuck rng mobs spawning infront of you.

I just beat Radiant AR twice in a row to relax after failing All bindings Pantheon of the Sage 20 times in a row. I beg to fucking differ, non-one shotable zotelings are fucking CANCER

N-Nani?

I have every single achievement in the game besides the last Pantheon and I had no idea about that either. What a fucking game.

listen carefully when they're off-screen
if you hear them smashing the floor, they're going to be bouncing and you need to dash to avoid
if you just hear a WHIIIIIIIIIIR, they'll be sliding, so you need to jump
also, pogo works extremely well against them if you can pull it off. just remember to run the fuck away the moment they turn into a ball during your pogo, because they're going to bounce

Dude I can't even fathom beating AR radiant but I practiced radianting zote for the fifth pantheon. I could not do markoth consistently, or come out with high health so I just got really good at zote so I wouldn't have to worry.

I guess just whats hard is different for certain people

How do you die to flukewarm?
Doesn't it just spawn the same shitter?
mobs over and over?

Thanks, I'll see if I can get it tomorrow

Panic makes you do stupid, stupid mistakes, and those divebomb shits can take your hearts off really quickly if you let too many of them spawn.

All bindings at the same time sounds extremely unfun, but I guess that's what is left to do once you everything else.

In case u haven’t, there is a secret breakable ceiling right before the room where you can break a chandelier that falls and kills one of the knights, reducing the amount u have to kill.

Hollow Knight is a solid 7/10 game and nothing more.

There's no way this is true.

Why would you ever need more than 5 hours for standard Steel Soul?

I've learned to always bring full soul into AR's second phase and take the phase WAY more patient, as well as mastering a guaranteed safe method for the climb. She's so much more relaxing now.
Markoth isn't made all that harder by All Bindings, just dash slash for good safe damage.
Collector and Zote though, constant minions are aggravating when you can't one shot them. Though I clear Collector 80% of the time now, Zote is another story.

>La mulana
>gave up halfway
Ahhh, the shitter filter is working.

I've done that, but thanks

If all five notches on your Godtuner aren't glowing did you REALLY beat the game?

I could never get phase 2 AR consistent, every other phase I can do very consistently, but man that dude fucks me u p

Hornet was really hard for me (both Times) while the dream bosses were straight forward.
New nosk was the most annoying tho

Took me like 50 minutes to beat it, really after beaten his normal counterpart i thought he will be easy.

If that slut goes to either extreme of the arena, just wait that volley out. Then practicing weaving between her balls of light until they become a non issue is paramount.

Thanks, just looked that up. Can´t believe i missed that whole part. Thought i was stuck there for good. Haven´t played in months.

The hardest for me that was vampire nigger in the circus tent that appears in town. You'll have to practice a good bit to memorize all his attacks and the tells for them.

We could have finished the thread without anybody replying to that retard.
Are you proud of your self?

>>awful places like Deepnest
Kill yourself. Literally the best area in the game.

My body is SO FUCKING READY

I am neither proud, nor ashamed. Also

I genuinely hope that Lace's second fight has her judgment cut the whole screen.

How do i counter lost kins bullshit rng?
As soon as you touch the jump button you die.
Can't heal can't dodge because blob spawns (((conveniently))) right infront or ontop of you.
Literally getting filtered.
Do i have to dps race it with magic or something?

Keep low. Never lose your momentum.

Defenders crest, the blobs have 1hp so the aura from the charm kills them before they tuch you making the figth 100% lest annoying

Nah, I bet it'll be a series of rapid fire judgment cuts.

Should I just give up? I'm being filtered hard here.

You don't heal or maybe get one in when he's knocked.
You slap him once or twice on every action.
Once spawns ramp up you start using spells to AOE damage.
The end is a race to take him down so be aggressive.

To those of you who want to eventually get all bindings; do not use certain bad habit instilling charms when practicing Radiant in the hall of gods
>Stalwart Shell
Don't know why you would be using this but if you were, stop. Appropriate timing for invuln wearing off is important.
>Sprintmaster
Obvious. you need to understand what regular walking speed feels like against all bosses. Don't use this.
>Steady Body
Knockback can be your friend. Don't use this.
>Quick Slash
Definitely don't use this. Worst habits ever are acquired with this.
>Mark of Pride/Longnail
Not as bad but best not to use this
>Thorns of Agony
The pause this thing induces can throw you off
>Sharp Shadow
Extends Dash. Fucks you over if you're used to it.
>Nailmaster's Glory
You need to get consistent with Nail arts' wind up and execute them optimally. Don't use this.

fuck me i can't type worth a shit

>having so many beat on radiant but not with binds
why? it's almost trivial

It's not as dangerous as it feels backing it into a corner, do just that and walk calmly and in bursts

Another nice thing to note, if you jump over the first projectile you can immediately start healing and the other three will miss you.

Nigger not him and you have to start the whole ordeal over when you fuck up. That aint trivial.

Fighting Pure Vessel perfectly after 10 minutes of boss rush is not like fighting him with a specific build in the Hall of Gods.

They way over nerfed Uumuu. I even was a shitter you got devestated by it but even then I didn't want it fuck d this bad.

I refused to download the nerf out of stubborness, good luck user. Especially if you’re going for Radiant Absolute Radiance.

To add to it, I did beat the PotK with the nail binding.

*who

managed to flawless this boss with old nail, you can do it

>keep choking on PofS Zote with charm binding
I hate tthis fucker.

I'm replaying the game now and I think it's time to put MoP to rest
I need to get used to the short nail range if I ever want the true 112%
