Here it is! What a gorgeous and interesting game to play! Boss list has been added to the description and down below in this comment. Enjoy! Boss 1: The Butcher - 0:00 Boss 2: The Troll - 4:10 Boss 3: Näcken - 12:56 Boss 4: Kärrhäxan - 23:42 Boss 5: Skogsrå - 32:53 The Plagued Village - 43:17 Boss 6: Pesta - 49:35 The Bramble - 57:03 Final Boss: The Mountain King - 58:18 Ending - 1:12:00
Skogskrå felt like the final boss for our character. She felt like the one who was causing everything and she showed him her killing her sister and yeah she just feels like his true enemy
She is the most significant of all, because her defeat means Olle loses his innocence. From that point on he is no longer the scared little boy he was, but a young man willing to go till the end.
Plus that deep scar on her back gives me the chills. Even her death looks like a final boss death. Its kinda terrifying. And 39:33 like wth was that voice. It kinda sounds like a UwU voice.
I really do love the use of Swedish mythological beings in this game and that they're names are spelled correctly. It manages to show how horrific the otherwise lackluster stories of my country's less ancient mythology. I also like the very typical, older Swedish names of the characters. They really made Näcken absolutely horrific.
It really added something to the game, to see all the names spelled correctly! I had fun trying to pronounce them with my lackluster Swedish knowledge 😂
Bro... 10 out of 10, the baby dying killed me though man.. like dammit bro... he's just a lad... he shouldn't have had to bury someone so much younger than him! the Skogsra fight... bro Olle went through so much man... it hurts... not all heroes wear smiles or capes...
I played this a second time while my family was watching and not kidding, restarted checkpoint several times just hysterically laughing at the mushroom people getting blown away
I also like how the battle with Pesta is basically Olle fighting the plague itself. Fighting him mentally & spiritually while in Reality, Pesta can’t turn him into a zombie like the poor villagers.
@@kauedasilva1072 My theory is that Olle was mentally stronger then the villager’s due to what he’d seen during the events of the game, and therefore had more of a resistance to it
@@rosegarden37 There is actually an explanation as to how he can have fought off Pesta. Pesta usually arrives with two tools in hand. A broom and a rake. Where she uses the broom, nobody survives but where she uses the rake, some will live. In this game, Pesta used the rake.
Olle shouldn’t blame himself for those he couldn’t save; this world is not his home, and he’s just a little boy. There was nothing more he could‘ve done, but the next right thing As for those he hurt, he had no other choice if he wished to save his sister and bring her home; a cold-blooded killer isn’t driven by good intentions
Each of them reminded me of a Little Nightmares boss in one way or another The Butcher - The Chefs/The Doctor (ugly fat brutes) The Troll - The Janitor (creepy scrawny kid snatching freaks) Näcken - The Granny/The Hunter (Scary swimming monsters/use a ranged weapon as well as pursuing relentlessly) Kärrhäxan -The Lady/The Thin Man (creepily approached the kids to grab them and had to be repelled on time by a good light/power) Pesta - The Teacher (Nightmarish folkloric old women) The Mountain King - Monster Six (Giant tragic final boss)
Pesta and Karrhaxan. The way it was dark and she would just jump out of the water screaming at you with one hand trying to grab you with the demonic aura around her Yeesh
In Gaelic myth is murúch (Irish), muradhach (Scottish) , they are like Greek siren, attract sailors with song and make them sleep and hunt them, while in Manx tradition, it's called ben varrey which is also a mermaid but they help sailors instead of preying on them
I found the boss unfitting for this game, the mechanics clunky and the fight overall too long, it had the feeling of a final boss while being a mid game boss.
@@BloodRedKat they probably hand-picked that part for the demo to give anyone who played it one hell of a first impression. They had some serious confidence in their game to include one of the biggest sequences in the demo, and it was absolutely justified.
I feel like Pesta was giving Olle a chance, it is said that when she steps into a village with a rake in hand some would die, but if she was with a broom in hand, everyone would die.
The scene when u defeated mountain king it was super tragic....😢 The Lemus was trying to help her as a good sign atleast Olle was still with her, the ending tho... i just tought that he was lost but thank god Olle was alive ❤
@@enkhtemuulenodgerel6175 Tiny Human vs Giants -> Jack and the Beanstalk, Attack on Titan, Little Nightmares. Also the aesthetic feels like a more mature, “realistic” Little Nightmares.
my theory ,Pesta was the punishment that the forest inflicted on the village for having burned the forest, when the men hunted Skogrå. if you think about it, the disease remains limited to the village almost as if it had to stay there. However, I am Southern Italian, many creatures are also in our folklore such as gnomes, trolls and Skogrå who in my region call her "the beautiful lady of the woods". there is a version of Nacken which in our country is called "Marabecca", but its form varies from area to area of the country. P.S. Sorry for my english
I love how after Nils finally slays the bramble and removes the curse, he stands to his full height once again and his head brushes against the chandelier like it was a crown, like King Nils finally returned to his status as a true and noble king, even if only for a moment.
Was anyone else absolutely terrified and horrified by the butcher and his ost? I know he's only the first boss, but he's at the top scariest for me. Also, fun fact: According to the ost, the butcher's name is Coless
Näcken is another name for a similar creature, although the Fossegrim isn't inherently evil as it can teach you how to play the violin for the right tribute. There are quite a few names for the näcken, stretching from northern Scandinavia to all parts of Germanic countries. The British Isles have a version of their own, better known as the kelpie.
@@jamesporquez3682 From what I've heard/read, yes, so they have very much in common with her norwegian nøkken. But the kelpies are of scottish mythology.
0:21 Oh, gosh, I can only imagine how disgusting it must feel if you ever walk through those piles of rotting meat IRL.🤢 And the stench...Pee-ew! I bet it's enough to make you lose your lunch.
@@inkyelpequenodiabloangel4417 Ultimately it is somehow subjective but based on the grim dark fantasy definition established within literature it isn’t. And only because an „official“ portal says so it doesn’t have any relevance, on the contrary. Gaming Portals even have issues with easy definitions like genres or remakes/ remasters etc. Their statements have no value whatsoever.
@@FelixS. Oooooh, I see 😮 thanks for the clarification 👍 (Although I must clarify that Bramble does have many things related to dark fantasy, such as violence and other dark things but in this fantasy)
Because her whole shtick is being what men want to see so she can lure them away. She is literally a personification of desire. I won’t say lust since she puts olle with an apparition of his sister instead of a cute girl, but still.
@@rosegarden37 no you're right, I just only found Pesta on google when searching through grim reapers of the area if Pesta has a rake, some survive the plague...a broom, nobody

I am definitely trying this out; it is definitely similar to Little Nightmares, and I loved that series
😁
Bro just like little nightmare 1 & 2 2014-2021 on just like ver
a 10/10 to whoever played the Violin for the Näcken part, it sounded really good
Hey
Meh ill pass
I thought I was imagining it at first, but the final boss theme is a remix of "In the Hall of the Mountain King". Cool.
I was hoping there will be one of Edvard Grieg's compositions in this game!
The minute I saw the name back in the demo days, I was hoping the song would be incorporated somehow! Hell yea it delivers!
It doesn’t help that the entire fight seems to sync with the music!!
Instantly clocked it and had me hyped as fuck
Even cooler the sfx of his attacks match the pace and tempo. Of the song and hit on the beat. 10/10
Skogskrå felt like the final boss for our character. She felt like the one who was causing everything and she showed him her killing her sister and yeah she just feels like his true enemy
She is the most significant of all, because her defeat means Olle loses his innocence. From that point on he is no longer the scared little boy he was, but a young man willing to go till the end.
Plus that deep scar on her back gives me the chills. Even her death looks like a final boss death. Its kinda terrifying. And 39:33 like wth was that voice. It kinda sounds like a UwU voice.
Ngl I thought she was the final boss but I'm glad the game continued after her
That wasn't the Skogsrå's voice, that was Olle being yeeted away. xD
The stabbing part on her head, was it optional to either kill her or not?
I really do love the use of Swedish mythological beings in this game and that they're names are spelled correctly.
It manages to show how horrific the otherwise lackluster stories of my country's less ancient mythology.
I also like the very typical, older Swedish names of the characters.
They really made Näcken absolutely horrific.
Fun fact: the developers who made the game are actually Swedish based
It really added something to the game, to see all the names spelled correctly! I had fun trying to pronounce them with my lackluster Swedish knowledge 😂
I love Pesta's presentation. The lights on and out, not unlike how the Thin Man of Little Nightmares came to be.
The way she just appears behind him in the boat like that? Gave me a bit of a spook.
Also the kärrhäxan bossfight reminds me of the lady's bossfight from Little nightmares 1
The whole game really brings feels, fears and beauty to Folklores in general and I dig it alot 🎉
Bro... 10 out of 10, the baby dying killed me though man.. like dammit bro... he's just a lad... he shouldn't have had to bury someone so much younger than him! the Skogsra fight... bro Olle went through so much man... it hurts... not all heroes wear smiles or capes...
14:09 Nacken chase and 14:33 most intense moment moment in the chase
1:01:24 post fight
1:02:28 beginning moutain king fight
1:03:46 second phase
Some hellblade type isht
One nice touch in this game is that when the butcher and King Nils attack Olle, their weapons leave marks on the surface.
Didnt notice that nice observation bro
Im not gonna lie, i kinda giggled a bit when the näcken sent the small mushroom people flying with the first violin blast
I played this a second time while my family was watching and not kidding, restarted checkpoint several times just hysterically laughing at the mushroom people getting blown away
@@CaleoGaming:3
@@CaleoGamingMario was not laughing
30:55
Man, witches are so cruel and heartless.
@@johnlawful2272 If it were koopa instead, he would laugh
I like how “The Plagued Village” leads up to Pesta, the personification of plague and disease
I also like how the battle with Pesta is basically Olle fighting the plague itself. Fighting him mentally & spiritually while in Reality, Pesta can’t turn him into a zombie like the poor villagers.
I wonder why Pesta wasn’t able to do that.
@@kauedasilva1072 My theory is that Olle was mentally stronger then the villager’s due to what he’d seen during the events of the game, and therefore had more of a resistance to it

@runecraster2 she probably thought olle woude be easy to turn him into a zombie

As for those he hurt, he had no other choice if he wished to save his sister and bring her home; a cold-blooded killer isn’t driven by good intentions
It's more or less true.
Each of them reminded me of a Little Nightmares boss in one way or another
The Butcher - The Chefs/The Doctor (ugly fat brutes)
The Troll - The Janitor (creepy scrawny kid snatching freaks)
Näcken - The Granny/The Hunter (Scary swimming monsters/use a ranged weapon as well as pursuing relentlessly)
Kärrhäxan -The Lady/The Thin Man (creepily approached the kids to grab them and had to be repelled on time by a good light/power)
Pesta - The Teacher (Nightmarish folkloric old women)
The Mountain King - Monster Six (Giant tragic final boss)
It's like a Mystical Horror Version of Little Nightmare.
And with an actual happy ending no less. Go figure
It's like what if *Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons* meets *Little Nightmares* but (according to @Savage Wolver ) with an actual happy ending.
It's like a combination of Little Nightmares with Outlast 2.
@@Zrs3820 I don't think it's outlast, outlast is a first person game. :/
Olle and Six are basically the same with the difference that one ate a gnome and the other sacrifices gnomes
That kinda game I would've never expected boss fights in.
Yet 1 of 3 hours playtime are boss battles, and really epic ones!
I think that Pesta's boss was by far the most disturbing. This game is amazing!😊
Pesta and Karrhaxan. The way it was dark and she would just jump out of the water screaming at you with one hand trying to grab you with the demonic aura around her Yeesh
Fun fact: The Skogsrå is the Scandinavian equivalent to a creature in Slavic folklore called the Mavka.
In Gaelic myth is murúch (Irish), muradhach (Scottish) , they are like Greek siren, attract sailors with song and make them sleep and hunt them, while in Manx tradition, it's called ben varrey which is also a mermaid but they help sailors instead of preying on them
Skogsra's boss fight was fun. It's been a long time since I enjoyed a boss fight. She has my vote for best boss fight of the year.
I found the boss unfitting for this game, the mechanics clunky and the fight overall too long, it had the feeling of a final boss while being a mid game boss.
@@FelixS.Kratos will take the boy under his wing
Strange that the demo for this game had the third boss pretty much front and center, normally demos try to avoid that sort of thing.
I think that may be why they didn’t do more with that boss.
@@BloodRedKat they probably hand-picked that part for the demo to give anyone who played it one hell of a first impression.
They had some serious confidence in their game to include one of the biggest sequences in the demo, and it was absolutely justified.
I feel like Pesta was giving Olle a chance, it is said that when she steps into a village with a rake in hand some would die, but if she was with a broom in hand, everyone would die.
This game is awesome. I can’t wait to play but seriously it needs to win some awards.
Karrhaxen is not getting the hype it deserves definitely the scariest character design of them
For me personally, Pesta was the scariest. Karrhaxen is a close second tho.
The baby dying actually made me cry
The scene when u defeated mountain king it was super tragic....😢
The Lemus was trying to help her as a good sign atleast Olle was still with her, the ending tho... i just tought that he was lost but thank god Olle was alive ❤
I freaking lost it when Näcken blasted those little guys off the screen... 🤣
But damn this is such a well made game!
That Skogsrå fight though. o.O
The music and the ending of that fight. Holy fuck!
Little Nightmares but Norse Mythology edition!
I actually love it!
31:07 this part made me cry a little 😭
The way Nacken turned its head is…
Yeah.😨
And then slowly went into the water
1:04:16 I love how they did a remix of Edvard Grieg's song ❤
41:09
Girl messed up with the wrong kid💀
during the final boss figth you can hear edvard grieg's 'in the hall of the mountain king' playing. and i think that's beautiful
ah yes, the wonderful world of folktales
I really like some of the angles, specially for the Näkken
Jack and The beanstalk meets Attack on Titan and Little Nightmares
Varför säger du så?
@@enkhtemuulenodgerel6175 Tiny Human vs Giants -> Jack and the Beanstalk, Attack on Titan, Little Nightmares. Also the aesthetic feels like a more mature, “realistic” Little Nightmares.
🤦♂️
This game is Limbo + Little Nightmares in almost Elden Ring graphics. haha love the monsters.
Am I the only one who sees and hears the final boss in sync with the music or is it just me?
I was just about to comment this. Final phase of final fight basically becomes a rythm game and I love it.
my theory ,Pesta was the punishment that the forest inflicted on the village for having burned the forest, when the men hunted Skogrå. if you think about it, the disease remains limited to the village almost as if it had to stay there.

P.S. Sorry for my english
Pesta is the personification of The Black Plague
Great edit. You captured the game perfectly. Great game. 👍
So it's a Action Adventure Horror Caleo? Can't wait to see it ❤❤❤
I have no fucking clue about what I just watched but it was amazing, loved every second of this game lol
So the flowers are piloting him like a fleshvangelion? The mountain king, that is.
I think he still has power of will, but went stark raving mad. Only when Olle damaged the bramble, his sanity restored.
I appreciate you bro
@@scott-gaming.8834 I like how he smiles when he swings his sword!
I love how after Nils finally slays the bramble and removes the curse, he stands to his full height once again and his head brushes against the chandelier like it was a crown, like King Nils finally returned to his status as a true and noble king, even if only for a moment.
The game looks awesome! This is my first time learning about it.
The soundtrack of the final boss
Good lord that Skogskrå fight was beautiful and epic.
I probably won't lie when I say that I fell in love with Skogsrå
Amazing storytelling, i really need this game
European folklore is something else
I'll always be loyal to Little Nightmares, but this is *NOICE!*
Was anyone else absolutely terrified and horrified by the butcher and his ost? I know he's only the first boss, but he's at the top scariest for me.
Also, fun fact: According to the ost, the butcher's name is Coless
The final boss second phase ost cause me dying😂
Anyone else think that the Näcken is actually based off the Fossegrim since it plays a Violin??
Näcken is another name for a similar creature, although the Fossegrim isn't inherently evil as it can teach you how to play the violin for the right tribute. There are quite a few names for the näcken, stretching from northern Scandinavia to all parts of Germanic countries. The British Isles have a version of their own, better known as the kelpie.
fossegrim plays the fiddle though. in swedish folklore näcken is often depicted as a male water spirit who plays the violin.
@Alexander Dashit I heard kelpies had a reputation to drown kids when they get near to them is it true
@@jamesporquez3682 From what I've heard/read, yes, so they have very much in common with her norwegian nøkken. But the kelpies are of scottish mythology.
Ok real talk tho. Anyone have a link for that Mountain King boss ost....please I beg thee
ruclips.net/video/k5cJk43Qytk/видео.html here you go
It's a song called In the Lair of the Mountain King
All Bosses are AMAZING!
Lemus is an MVP in this game
Is this game made by the creators of "Inside" and "Little Nightmares"!?
no
Kanske
I never been so scared of this badly than this
Nacken death so brutally
Easily one of my favorite indie games of 2023, so many cool folklores and boss battles
Waow! This looks awesome!!
Vad kan vi säga. Sverige är best
Karhaxxen and skogsra. Would smash, next question
Who cares what you want to smash lmao
This game gave a Little nightmares & Undertale feel
This is similar.... Also, the first video I watched was when you do all bosses of Prototype 2.
Scary bosses
Can any Norse mythology fans inform me as to what a Karhaxan is? Is it like a witch or something?
haxan/hexen literally means witch.
The name translates to "Swamp Witch"
this gameplay style should be use for Little nightmares 3
Pesta and Karrhäkan absolutely scare me
Bro this game is creepy and scary as f**k...I LOVE this kind of staff soo good 👍
0:21 Oh, gosh, I can only imagine how disgusting it must feel if you ever walk through those piles of rotting meat IRL.🤢 And the stench...Pee-ew! I bet it's enough to make you lose your lunch.
😢 the music of the baby
My heart aches on the baby scene 😢
15:06 this looks familiar...Oh yeah that one part in INSIDE
Just awesome my friend
Gorgeous crain this game
that final boss music, I know that tune anywhere!
Can someone understand what the Skosgrå says when she attacks? Is it gibberish or an actual language?
41:29 GOOD GRIEF
bro the way the nacken snapped its head to look at the protagonist was so sudden it made me jump a bit.
The swamp area scare the shit out of me
Isn't the Kärrhäxan the swamp-mitwife?
Yes.
Could we say that this falls under the "dark fantasy"?
Nope, this is horror fantasy 🤣
It is just folklore.
(Grim) Dark Fantasy are things like Berserk, Demons/Dark Souls, Elden Ring, the Malazan books or Joe Abercrombies First Law.

why did they have to make the Skogsra hella cute
Because her whole shtick is being what men want to see so she can lure them away.
She is literally a personification of desire. I won’t say lust since she puts olle with an apparition of his sister instead of a cute girl, but still.
What music plays on 11:48 please🙏?

So I'm trying to find it but I can't find the lore on Karrhaxan, what exactly is it? Some kind of swamp spirit?
I think it's a witch who reincarnated to...this.
Karrhaxan translates to Swamp Witch. 😊
Kärrhäxan, Skogsrå, Pesta, and King Nihls are the only bosses whom Olle fought against.
