@@yingerfeltonboi654 and then they went on to beat literally the wasp king powered by the sapling yeah I don't think zasp or mothiva could pull that off
Ermant StuckInRealityguy It was Vi But Leif is best character hands-down. “Just a cute monster. Let us deal with it.” He called the primal weevil cute and I absolutely love it.
I'm on my second playthrough, I realized when you just encounter her in the overworld first time, this plays. When you fight them, you hear the miniboss theme. When you fight her for real, the this theme plays. edit: fixed it.
Mothiva challenges the party in front of a huge audience. "Um... I mean, if you WANT to get publicly humiliated, I suppose I can oblige." So satisfying. XD
It must be especially humiliating to get two shot by Vi's max damage Hurricane Toss build... though the build has other downsides I think the biggest one is it makes the bosses die so quickly you don't get to really enjoy their music.
love these two characters zasp, the rogue wasp who turned against his kind to better himself only to serve someone who is a jerk with no redeemable qualities and is perfectly ok with it mothiva, a jerk with no redeemable qualities
After having Mothivia only use her singing notes attack in both battles when I played, the last attack she used before her final defeat being just walking up to someone and kicking them was really funny to me
@@rockinmusicquarterly12 My Vi had -1 defense and that attack single handedly deals 11 dmg (5 from initial kick, 2 each for the 3 head stomps). Precisely “stop, she’s already dead!”.

I found out recently that the quest where you retrieve the Mothiva doll was posted by Zasp wearing a cloak, which did actually fool me during my first playthrough. And as an extra detail, when you first arrive at the Golden Hills, Zasp can be found standing in the exact spot where the doll is found later on.
Mothiva is the only character to make Kabbu lose his cool with. I like how he raised legitimate points about Mothiva potentially risking their one hope of reaching the Wasp King with this latest attempt to steal the spotlight, to which she just said he's "overthinking it". Or maybe, just maybe, he actually thinks. Unlike you. Seriously, Zasp is too good for her. Which I think Team Snakemouth even tells him that point-blank at one point.
I definitely agree, and it makes me hope that if/when a sequel comes out, Mothiva comes back. I feel like her character has a lot more room to grow, and it'd be nice to get more info on why Zasp sticks with Mothiva in the first place. A more grounded character arc for her and a look into her and Zasp's backstories could be something worth exploring imo. Not sure how that would be incorporated (feels like a step back if she suddenly starts picking fights with Team Snakemouth again) but it's cool to think about
@@bigbadgammagnome Zasp is a Mothiva fanboy, that's why he sticks with her. Well, that's what I think at least. He does own a doll of her, so I'd say it's not too big of an assumption to say that.
@@Morshu_DarkSouls That's right! You know, I actually forgot about that Still, I like to think there's a little more to their relationship. Zasp is a huge simp for sure, but exploring together must have developed Zasp and Motiva's relationship in some way, and I can't help but feel there's more to those two than first meets the eye Like he's not just a bodyguard, they're partners in exploring, although I'm not sure for how long they've been working together admittedly.
Mothiva absolutely fascinates me. I think it's because I respect Zasp as a decent bug, and one of generally fine judgement, so his absolute dedication to Mothiva forces me to consider that there's more to her than meets the eye.
It's funny because when you first meet Mothiva, you think it is just "the famous character that maybe you'll have to escort later in the game" and then BAM! it's a boss. Got me a bit off guard the first time and at the rematch I literally said "Oh no, not you two again!" (In a good way, I find the boss an excellent and fairly difficult fight)

Bought this game two days ago cause I didn't realize it came out in late 2019. What a fucking gem this game is, I'm reliving all my childhood moments when I played Paper Mario 2 for the first time. Highly recommend this game.
Same, playing this game as someone who grew up with PM64 made me feel like a kid again. I'll admit I was glad to be an adult by the time Chapter 7 showed up. Little VonFirflirch definitely would have lost his ability to sleep in the dark. x)
I, a fifteen year old, have the privelage of growing up around pretty relatively obscure games, and TTYD was and is one of my favorite games ever. I was really disappointed in how the later Paper Mario games turned out. When my brother told me there was an indie game inspired by the OG PM games, I was like "oh cool, I should look into that." Then I saw the trailer, and it immediately became number one on my want list. I got so excited, I couldn't wait till it came out on switch. Now, here I am, listening to the OST of one of my NEW favorite games of all time.
@@VonFirflirch I'm not a kid and when I played it after walking in and failing to dodge the first fight I just sat there like "what the [redacted] am I looking at" and immediately had to get up and turn the lights on since I was playing in complete darkness
@@allenthecavalier Though instead we get rivals with dynamics making them two of my favorite characters in the game Mothiva being a sassy narcissistic might make her seem unlikable, if it wasn't for her sheer ignorance and constant comeuppance for her action. Not to mention her minor role in the giant's lair where she finally comes down to earth and teams up with all our allies. Zasp at first comes off as a snarky and uncooperative rival, though when his fanboyism isn't kicking in he's a little more humble and a helping hand. I also like how the gap in his traits isn't wide enough to the point where he feels like a different person whether Mothiva is around or not.
Not really, it is a rival like Jr. Troopa but to compare him to Mothiva and Zasp would be unfair since you only fought them twice, while Jr. Troopa had triple that amount. Would have been great to fight Mothiva at least one other time, maybe in the Honey Factory or Rubber Prison.
Have you ever noticed that when you knockout zasp, and mothiva doesn't resurrect you, one of her attacks is LITERALLY A KICK IN THE NUTS AND IF YOU DON'T DEFEND IT, SHE STEPS UP THREE TIMES WITH A MALEPHIC ZOOM
I remember when everyone was cheering for Team Snakemouth, I played the Seinfield theme and the second time everyone cheered for team Snakemouth I played the clip where the guy was laughing at Dick Tangler
@@azazeltheundyingdamienkali5700 it's a medal that makes 1 character unable to do anything but attack ( they cant even defend) but makes their attack soar through the roof. Put it on kabbu and you can spam frozen drill and fly drop to shred through boss hp
I was a bit worried that she and Zasp would only be fought the once in Chapter 2, even though they gave off recurring boss vibes. Thankfully they showed up for one more round in Chapter 6.
I think part of it was him wanting to prove his worth, either to face the Wasp King (he said he abandoned his people because he didn't like what they were doing) or to prove himself as just as strong or stronger than Team Snakemouth.
@@lasagna3289 It's called "Mothiva's Grand Stand" because she's making her last and greatest stand against you, but "Grandstanding" is also a term that means seeking to attract and steal attention from a crowd, which is exactly what she's doing.
same shit with killing zasp, except I could only kill him in two, so the second turn (4 health where kabu is doing 3 and the other two are doing 1 to zasp) kabu and vi attack zasp, kill him, then attempt a freeze on mothiva so I have an extra turn to end her, rinse and repeat.
I always had low health with this fight (atleast in the termite place in the collesium) so i grinded to the point where it would level me up after the second round with the foe’s , thus fully healing me for the mothavia & zasp rematch
This theme for me was so epic and memorable because I didn't expect Mothiva and Zasp to come outta nowhere and beating them one last time is so satisfying especially Mothiva cause you finally teach her a lesson
@@Mimiro-m2g ACTUALLY, in the in-game collectable lore books they explain that after the great awakening that gave the insects their intelligence, many bugs also gained hands including fingers, and that its actually a sign of being a lesser bug (non-sentient) if you don't have hands, so its actually entirely possible that zasp could lay ten fingers on you
Wish this had played for the first Mothiva fight as well. Don’t get me wrong, I love the regular boss theme and everything, but there are some real bangers that we only get to hear once the whole game. The Spider boss theme, Mothiva’s boss theme, etc. This theme could’ve been played for both the times you fight her, and “Don’t Call him Spuder” could’ve played for the Peacock Spider too or something.
For all the times you interact with Mothiva, I almost wish you could do more for Samira and eventually help her usurp Mothiva's position. If the developers really wanted to be evil, they would have drawn up a long side story where Zasp, fed up with his treatment under Mothiva, would eventually leave her for Samira.
I assume the point is that you come to this fight after two battles, one of them being a mini boss, and that's where the difficulty lies but... I was lucky enough to gain a level up right before this fight so I was at full health
Not gonna lie, having Kabbu, the nicest member of Team Snakemouth absolutely, positively lose his mind against Mothiva was perhaps one of my favorite moments in the whole game. It was literally the last thing I expected.
Kabuu going off on her followed by beating her and Zasp up again was so very satisfying. I wish I had remembered to equip hard mode for this. Curse my forgetfulness!
I died to the second mothiva fight more times than any other boss. Because when i got to termite city, i had no money or items and i refused to go all the way back to ant kingdom and i had no idea where the tunnel was. So i had low health and tp going into this fight. Took me about ten attempts to get past her.
The fun thing is that during the first fight against these two I focused down Mothiva first. The second time, I focused down Zasp and had Mothiva keep wasting turns rezzing him. XD Meant that I got less of his buffed damage, haha.
It’s kinda funny how the scouts for all 3 characters say you should probably focus on Mothiva first while being cautious of Zasp going insane with the buffs. Despite the fact it’s so much easier to just focus of just Zasp first.
i suffered so much in the primal weevil boss fight so when he appeared in the arena i was like "NO NOT THIS AGAIN" then mothiva and zasp appeared and i though it'd be easier how wrong i was
Love how Kabbu just loses his shit on Mothiva for potentially ruining their one chance to reach the Wasp King because she’s a glory hog and Mothiva’s just like “lol ok whatever”, loved Chapter 6
Never gonna forget Kabbu completely _going off_ on her. The only other thing that's ever managed that _killed his previous friends_ for Venus' sake. It was _so_ satisfying to watch, and even more to completely delete her immediately afterwards.
I love the whole “counter-explorer” thing. It just makes the game so much better than already how good it was before. I’m just sad it wasn’t used in the battle itself.
me, the whole time, on the verge of tears: king, no... please, you can do so much better... please, there is someone out there really worth simping for, and the best part? if they're the one they will not want you to simp for them. king, please...
At first this fight wasn't too hard(I'm playing in normal mode), and then Mothiva brought Zasp back to life and I realized I had just wasted a lot of my ressources. So, Leif died, then Mothiva, then Kabbu, and after that Zasp had 7 hp left, while Vi had three. I used a spider item I had gotten from the tarantula wizard tower, which did 6 damage. Zasp attacked Vi twice. I had the back protection medal equipped or however it's called, and I parried both of his attack perfecly, so they did only one damage each. Which means I won the battle with exacly one hp left, on my first try. This whole battle was hilarious, with the termites cheering and everything. As for the track, this is probably my favorite boss music yet.
yep, annihilated mothiva first thing with a coked up berserker vi, finished this fight so quickly I didnt really even have chance to hear this song past the first 20 seconds. It's nice.
This was a pretty close fight for me... That is until after the fight I noticed that I still had a Queens dinner along with a little over half of my items (I don't remember what they were) meaning I wasn't in any danger of dying at all.
I saw the dev's art where both of them hugging each other in the fandom wiki. The dev even pointed out that they married, lived happily ever after and died of old ages.

Zasp at first comes off as a snarky and uncooperative rival, though when his fanboyism isn't kicking in he's a little more humble and a helping hand. I also like how the gap in his traits isn't wide enough to the point where he feels like a different person whether Mothiva is around or not.
@@Spoigus Only in prologue, odd chapters and final chapter
Not really, it is a rival like Jr. Troopa but to compare him to Mothiva and Zasp would be unfair since you only fought them twice, while Jr. Troopa had triple that amount. Would have been great to fight Mothiva at least one other time, maybe in the Honey Factory or Rubber Prison.
Have you ever noticed that when you knockout zasp, and mothiva doesn't resurrect you, one of her attacks is LITERALLY A KICK IN THE NUTS AND IF YOU DON'T DEFEND IT, SHE STEPS UP THREE TIMES WITH A MALEPHIC ZOOM
in the second battle, this happens regardless of killing zasp
This cracked me up so hard while playing
Best attack in the game
Clapping Mothiva in front of a large crowd was very satisfying.
I remember when everyone was cheering for Team Snakemouth, I played the Seinfield theme and the second time everyone cheered for team Snakemouth I played the clip where the guy was laughing at Dick Tangler
interesting
understandable.
Interesting set of words

I'm glad I got to fight Mothiva and Zasp twice. Not only was it a fun miniboss, wounding Mothiva's pride was even better the second time.

yeah those momments are always good
You know you messed up if you managed to piss Kabbu off.

This battle theme is so good! Mothiva is such a fun rival, and this song just makes me wanna beat her up but also dance cuz she's great hahaha
zimp
I see what you did there
Zasp forever will be a simp
Let's make a list of "characters with themes too good for them", I'll start:
2: spuder
3: Zommoth
4. all normal enemies
5: Heavy Drone B-33
6: The everlasting king
What if you, Mothiva, wanted to live,
but god said, “ *Fly Drop* “
Or "Frozen Drill"
Fly drop + frozen drill + berserker = DEATH
@@thanoid2373
What's Berserker? I've never heard of that. Is it a skill attack or a medal?
@@azazeltheundyingdamienkali5700 it's a medal that makes 1 character unable to do anything but attack ( they cant even defend) but makes their attack soar through the roof. Put it on kabbu and you can spam frozen drill and fly drop to shred through boss hp
@@thanoid2373
Huh. I mostly run a poison Vi set, but I might give that a try. Where can I find it?
I was a bit worried that she and Zasp would only be fought the once in Chapter 2, even though they gave off recurring boss vibes. Thankfully they showed up for one more round in Chapter 6.
Funny thing is, there was a planned third fight with them that was scraped.
@@din_5817 I wonder if they replaced it with the Ahoneynation boss. I swore they were gonna be fought in Chapter 3.
Ya know, I remember at some point Zasp said he was with Mothiva mostly for her, but also for some other reason... I wonder what that other reason was.
I think part of it was him wanting to prove his worth, either to face the Wasp King (he said he abandoned his people because he didn't like what they were doing) or to prove himself as just as strong or stronger than Team Snakemouth.
I’m pretty sure the creators said Mothiva and Zasp are in a relationship
mussy
I just got that the title of this song is a double entendre, which made me like this song even more than I already did.
I don’t get it
@@lasagna3289 It's called "Mothiva's Grand Stand" because she's making her last and greatest stand against you, but "Grandstanding" is also a term that means seeking to attract and steal attention from a crowd, which is exactly what she's doing.
Mothiva is THE definition of "don't meet your heroes."
@Maria Flores :D ayyyyy!
I love this theme it’s such a bop. I also think it fits Mothiva very well especially the violin part around 1:09.
I love how mothiva is always trying to be the star of the show and zap is just in the background like hi
I enjoy how mothiva is basically bug pokimane and zasp is the simp
I-
Youre not wrong-
Yeah... zasps main ability is to gain a whopping *1 extra damage on each hit* for every time you hit mothiva.
On discord one of the creators of the game says it’s canon that they get happily married
@@theamazingcatwizard3654 Hey now, on Hard Mode thats the difference between 6 and 7 per hit!
Ho1oHoro 7 is a lot in this game.
My strategy for this fight was freezing Zasp so he couldn’t get triggered when I attacked Mothiva
I just killed zasp, he revived with enough hp to get downed in 1 attacks so it was ezpz killing mothiva without zasp freaking out
moffatt That’s what I did for the first fight.
I’ve yet to see this battle though.
I used fly drop a couple times on Mothiva for that sweet sweet 10 damage
My strategy was spamming multi hit attacks with a +1 attack Vi
then again that's my strategy for every battle
same shit with killing zasp, except I could only kill him in two, so the second turn (4 health where kabu is doing 3 and the other two are doing 1 to zasp) kabu and vi attack zasp, kill him, then attempt a freeze on mothiva so I have an extra turn to end her, rinse and repeat.
I always had low health with this fight (atleast in the termite place in the collesium) so i grinded to the point where it would level me up after the second round with the foe’s , thus fully healing me for the mothavia & zasp rematch
oh yea it's big brain time
Same except on accident
Next. Level. Strats.
Ttyd players preparing to fight Bowser be like
@@chaosinc.382 litterally
This theme for me was so epic and memorable because I didn't expect Mothiva and Zasp to come outta nowhere and beating them one last time is so satisfying especially Mothiva cause you finally teach her a lesson
I always found it funny how pissed and frustrated Mothiva gets if you knock out Zasp multiple times 😆
I want to see a clip
A fitting theme for a star such as myself!
This is a certified bug fables classic
Omg its mothiva
Meh, B-33’s is a million times better
This fight cost me the most game-overs out of anything in my first hardmode playthrough. If only Zasp wasn't such a rabid fanboy...
Lay a finger on Mothiva and Zasp will lay ten on you
@@thegoldenstation9723 they are bugs... They don't have fingers
@@Mimiro-m2g ACTUALLY, in the in-game collectable lore books they explain that after the great awakening that gave the insects their intelligence, many bugs also gained hands including fingers, and that its actually a sign of being a lesser bug (non-sentient) if you don't have hands, so its actually entirely possible that zasp could lay ten fingers on you
I'm surprised nobody in this reply chain has called Zasp a simp yet.
@@howstressful3611 mega simp in bug fables he even have a mothiva doll and gets desperate when he loses it
Wish this had played for the first Mothiva fight as well.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the regular boss theme and everything, but there are some real bangers that we only get to hear once the whole game. The Spider boss theme, Mothiva’s boss theme, etc. This theme could’ve been played for both the times you fight her, and “Don’t Call him Spuder” could’ve played for the Peacock Spider too or something.

For all the times you interact with Mothiva, I almost wish you could do more for Samira and eventually help her usurp Mothiva's position. If the developers really wanted to be evil, they would have drawn up a long side story where Zasp, fed up with his treatment under Mothiva, would eventually leave her for Samira.
Who is Samira ?
@@oqo3310 the cute moth fly you help throughout the game that acts as your sound test
I assume the point is that you come to this fight after two battles, one of them being a mini boss, and that's where the difficulty lies but...
I was lucky enough to gain a level up right before this fight so I was at full health
I make sure to do this every time before this fight
*gets a level up* Tough Luck Mothiva >:3
Man even the Rival's got a good theme.
one of my favorite moments in the game was when mothvia just fuckin curbstomps you with one of her moves
Not gonna lie, having Kabbu, the nicest member of Team Snakemouth absolutely, positively lose his mind against Mothiva was perhaps one of my favorite moments in the whole game. It was literally the last thing I expected.
yall have to admit fighting her was hella fun and when you beat her, the tantrum was so enjoyable
Too bad zasp is busy simping for mothiva
Because I really like him and idk why
Kabuu going off on her followed by beating her and Zasp up again was so very satisfying. I wish I had remembered to equip hard mode for this. Curse my forgetfulness!
my most favorite track with ULTIMAX TANK as a close second
Same
What about spudder and ever lasting king
@@nonymouswisp8176 excellent choices as well
MECHA BEE DESTROYER BLASTLORD is my fav
@@paulgrotebeverborg1119 an excellent choice
I am that one quiet guy in the crowd that meekly said Mothiva...
I love how Kabbu could use worse insult by just ONE letter when he said "You WITCH!" Really shows how Kabbu has enough of Mothiva.
I died to the second mothiva fight more times than any other boss. Because when i got to termite city, i had no money or items and i refused to go all the way back to ant kingdom and i had no idea where the tunnel was. So i had low health and tp going into this fight. Took me about ten attempts to get past her.
This game was just so gooooood
This song actually plays if you refight the two in the BOSS machine during chapter 6, even before you refight them in the story.
The fun thing is that during the first fight against these two I focused down Mothiva first. The second time, I focused down Zasp and had Mothiva keep wasting turns rezzing him. XD Meant that I got less of his buffed damage, haha.
I just fished for freezes on Zasp so I could handle Mothiva peacefully
It’s kinda funny how the scouts for all 3 characters say you should probably focus on Mothiva first while being cautious of Zasp going insane with the buffs. Despite the fact it’s so much easier to just focus of just Zasp first.
Battle Against a True Rival
i loved this song, very upbeat and it encapsulates Mothiva's personality so well
I could easily imagine Bayonetta fighting angels to this
mothinetta
Mothiva's Grand Stand!!! ...oh and I suppose zasp is here too whatever
This song is so fucking epic. It deserves to be in the hall of fame of legendary boss battle themes.
oh man this theme dude!!!!!!!!
you did such a great job
i suffered so much in the primal weevil boss fight so when he appeared in the arena i was like "NO NOT THIS AGAIN"
then mothiva and zasp appeared and i though it'd be easier
how wrong i was
Tbh id disagree, the primal weevil was pretty annoying and this battle (imo) is more fair
i was taken off guard when i missed a block casing leif to get kicked in the air, and then proceed to get curb stomped
Low-key bopper. Love this song!
Love how Kabbu just loses his shit on Mothiva for potentially ruining their one chance to reach the Wasp King because she’s a glory hog and Mothiva’s just like “lol ok whatever”, loved Chapter 6
Heavy Glitz pit vibes, I mean, taking on your rival out of nowhere in a huge coliseum? Love this game.
Never gonna forget Kabbu completely _going off_ on her. The only other thing that's ever managed that _killed his previous friends_ for Venus' sake. It was _so_ satisfying to watch, and even more to completely delete her immediately afterwards.
I love the whole “counter-explorer” thing. It just makes the game so much better than already how good it was before. I’m just sad it wasn’t used in the battle itself.
me, the whole time, on the verge of tears: king, no... please, you can do so much better... please, there is someone out there really worth simping for, and the best part? if they're the one they will not want you to simp for them. king, please...
At first this fight wasn't too hard(I'm playing in normal mode), and then Mothiva brought Zasp back to life and I realized I had just wasted a lot of my ressources. So, Leif died, then Mothiva, then Kabbu, and after that Zasp had 7 hp left, while Vi had three. I used a spider item I had gotten from the tarantula wizard tower, which did 6 damage. Zasp attacked Vi twice. I had the back protection medal equipped or however it's called, and I parried both of his attack perfecly, so they did only one damage each. Which means I won the battle with exacly one hp left, on my first try. This whole battle was hilarious, with the termites cheering and everything.
As for the track, this is probably my favorite boss music yet.
Really Zasp? Get up!
I like to believe that the subtlety that kicks through the middle part of the song in represents Zasp and his calmer demeanor outside of battles
Mothiva's theme is so great to listen, and dance, to! As some would say, it's such a bop!
Zasp is the man
One of my favourite tracks in the game. It's fire!
yep, annihilated mothiva first thing with a coked up berserker vi, finished this fight so quickly I didnt really even have chance to hear this song past the first 20 seconds. It's nice.
"Nothing is infinite in this world
-Huh, my beauty?"
I get chills every time I hear this, and I love it
This was a pretty close fight for me... That is until after the fight I noticed that I still had a Queens dinner along with a little over half of my items (I don't remember what they were) meaning I wasn't in any danger of dying at all.
An amazing theme! :D
This song just radiates Paper Mario energy and I love it
does anyone else kinda hear the Mario 64 metal Mario theme at 0:48
0:48 me and the boys coming to beat up team snakemouth for stealing that relic from us
Love that they gave you a taste of this song in chapter 2 so that the moment you hear it in chapter 6 you go "IT'S HER! IT'S THE MOTH LADY!"
I can't stop tapping my feet to this one!
This goes hard and i don't even know what bug fables is 💀
Play it, it's so good
This is my favorite song in the game
Ok we can all agree the opening to this gives Cynthia vibes, right?
Certified banger
this theme goes so hard fbndjdg
also I think im like. one of the few people who genuinely likes mothiva lmfaoo
shes so terrible I love it
I saw the dev's art where both of them hugging each other in the fandom wiki.
The dev even pointed out that they married, lived happily ever after and died of old ages.
