I’ve played this game many times and I’ve walked many walkthroughs but I’ve never seen anyone find that cubby lol. 2 extra health masks for mantis fight is awesome. Game changer
Once again a fantastic breakdown of this fight well done. I’m not sure why there isn’t a bunch of comments on here because they are well deserved so let me just say on behalf of my self thank you for making this fight a shit load easier brother. Keep up the good work
the worst part about this boss: There is no bench close. you have to make your way from queens station all the way back to the lords... i am trying for hours at this point. it is more walking back that actual fighting xD having the single boss down so far.. always failing at the 2guys... i am going crazy.. your video helped me a little! Thanks for that.
You go into mantis village through the top entrance via the queens station bench? No wonder it takes you so long! There’s a bench way closer then queens station, you just have to use the other entrance to the village. If you look at the map there’s a corridor between mantis village and the area to the right of it, that area being the long vertical chasm. It’s almost a perfect shape except for one spot of the map that’s empty void, it’s like someone cut out a slice of the map in the shape of a rectangle. In the area directly under the missing rectangle of space is a bench. From that bench you just need to platform your way up, avoiding any acid or enemies until you find the path to the left guarded by one of the tall mantis enemies. That leads into the village, and once you’re through that you just need to keep going left by jumping over the acid, and continue going left until you reach the giant pit. It’s easy once you’ve done it a few times, plus the enemies aren’t very hard to kill so you can top up on some soul on the way back to your ghost. There’s still more walking and platforming after each death than what is considered comfortable but it sure as hell beats walking all the way from queens station.
This is an exceptionally good tutorial. So comprehensive and so clear, and it has the secret too! Thank you for taking the time to make such a high quality tutorial.
I'm playing the game for the first time, and I'm at this point. I just don't think I can do it yet. You make it look so easy, but I panic. Can you fight them at any point in the game, or is there a point of no return? You have an incredibly relaxing voice btw. This is basically ASMR.
There is another attack on the second trial,; it's a boomerang which both of the manti lord's are on one side and one of them does a bottomed boomerang and the other does a top Boomerang. I always get caught off guard during it
man the first time i fought them i got my ass beat, i just went there again with a nail upgraded two times, weaver song, level 2 grimm child, dream shield and beat them in first try
Yeah I think I procastinated way to hard on this fight, let's just say I have shade soul, dash slash, cyclone slash, crystal heart, isma's tear, beat fluke worm, have gotten to kingdoms edge, found the collosieum and beat the first one, got dream nail and also fully explored the resting grounds, etc. I am trying way to hard to just not fight them I guess
I'm fully equipped, upgraded nail 3 times, 8 mask(10 with unbreakable heart), have defeated the hollow knight, yet struggled at this fight like- A lot.. The far bench from the arena isn't helping
I think this video deserves a lot more then it got. Not as easy as people think making these strategy videos and making it in a way that it’s easy for a player to repeat the process. Good job and thanks again for the great video man.
unpopular opinion: the platforming section TO the mantis lords is more difficult than the mantis themselves. u know the part where u have to navigate spikey walls to actionate some levers to open up the final gateway TO the mantis ? i hate platforming. i've always hated them. i never played any platforming games. i have picked up HK for 3 times now, and each time i got put off not by the hard boss, but by the ridiculously hard hazardous platforms. platforming has no business being this hard in such a game imo
It’s a metroidvania. One of the main components of that genre is platforming. If you don’t like platformers, you shouldn’t have gotten the game in the first place
@@mr.pickleworldbuilding this is a bold statement. since the other aspects of the game are actually quite amazing especially the worldbuilding and character design. i never said it's not a metrolike, why wouldn't there be platforming, but i don't understand why it should be this hard and everywhere. such hard platforming should only be in optional places (like path of pain), not everywhere. so it's quite a shame that general players cannot enjoy. saying what u said is saying it's only for u don't like go away, so don't complain that one day the genre is dying or can't get new players in or etc etc bcz. it's like one day when u ask why everything is so expensive then a trillionnaire says "don't have money? don't live then, life isn't for u"

theres a bench at the dasmaster statue
There are two types of people.
There is one close by the dashmaster statue
There’s literally a bench in mantis village
You are the absolute best! Died like 20 times and after watching this most valuable piece of information i did it on my 3rd try. Thank you so much!
Thanks, friend! I've tried Mantis Lords three times without success but now I feel confident I can be patient and git good
This is an exceptionally good tutorial. So comprehensive and so clear, and it has the secret too!
Thank you for taking the time to make such a high quality tutorial.
thanks to your detailed instructions i finally beat them. you deserve so much praise & recognition for your content!! subscribed 💚
This video helped a lot, no idea I should have had the shaman charm and once I got it I beat them in about 3 tries. Thanks!
Your Boss Breakdowns are the mostest bestest. If I could give one million likes I would.
This is excellent, thank you. I still can’t manage it because I panic but your explanations are spot on. They telegraph basically every attack. :)

This guide still holds up completely. I dumpster'd this boss first try after watching. Before that, they just kicked my ass.
Youre Tutorials are the best and best structured
3:49 Wow, that rythm synchro
Thanks for the exceptional guide.
I found that you can stand in the dead center during the double slow boomerang.
Playing the game for the first time and I just attempted this fight without realizing it was optional 😅
There is another attack on the second trial,; it's a boomerang which both of the manti lord's are on one side and one of them does a bottomed boomerang and the other does a top Boomerang. I always get caught off guard during it
This video helped me beat them, thank you so much!!!
This was worth watching
Thanks bro
its my first playthrough and watched thsi jist for the wall positioning and beat it 2nd go thanks man
man the first time i fought them i got my ass beat, i just went there again with a nail upgraded two times, weaver song, level 2 grimm child, dream shield and beat them in first try
Just beat them on my second or third try after this, thanks!
Nice work
I'm usually really good at these kind of games but this boss is taking the most attempts so far lol
Pause this video helped me so much THANK YOU
Had a lot of success healing in phase two when they go for high boomerang, stand in the center of stage and heal and both miss you
i got the mantis claw a different way so didnt fight the lords until i had my nail fully leveled and 7 lives, only took me three goes XD
So they disappear between attacks? I was trying to track their movements and thought I wasn't looking in the right spots for them.
Yeah I think I procastinated way to hard on this fight, let's just say I have shade soul, dash slash, cyclone slash, crystal heart, isma's tear, beat fluke worm, have gotten to kingdoms edge, found the collosieum and beat the first one, got dream nail and also fully explored the resting grounds, etc.
I am trying way to hard to just not fight them I guess
Thx bro I just best them ❤
'Optional' is just a fancy word for '112% completionist'
i would die for you omg tysm
Thank you so much
I use cyclone slash. I jump up and cyclone slash as they come down.
Wich level your nail is?
Pure Nail must be his nail
Bro I'm doing this at seven hearts third upgrade nale
same
I found the mantis lords easy and killed them second try but I died like 100 times against the second soul warrior?!??!
I love you
why are there just 2 comments
I'm fully equipped, upgraded nail 3 times, 8 mask(10 with unbreakable heart), have defeated the hollow knight, yet struggled at this fight like- A lot.. The far bench from the arena isn't helping
The bench isn’t that far from the arena
Yes it is
@brianstear2333 It's the same distance as pretty much every other boss bench in the game.
Why is there 100 likes but no comments
There is only 5

This was the easiest boss
