Hollow Knight - Nailsage Sly Boss Fight (Radiant Difficulty, Nail Only, No Damage)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 ноя 2024
- Defeating Nailsage Sly on Radiant difficulty in the Hall of Gods for the Godmaster DLC. Radiant difficulty increases the boss health and some minor tweaks (Sly doesn't stagger for very long and moves a bit faster), plus you die in one hit. There are more opportunities to damage Sly if you're good at parrying, but I opted to play it safe.
I've got nothing left to sell you...but I can see that you've still got some geo left...
*GUESS I'LL HAVE TO TAKE IT FROM YOUR CORPSE*
I shouldn't've laughed at that
You failed the geo check
Sly: You should know my skills... are worth my nail's weight in Geo!
Most terrifying boss. That size and hitbox.
I know! fuck that hitbox!
Kirokill he’s basically the yoda of hollow knight
Doubt it.
He's harder than Pure Vessel, who I already beat in radiant, but not Sly.
Lord Agustin indeed
Sly looks so unassuming and than he pulls out his massive nail
With Sly it's your money and your life.
His nail is bigger than yours the players 😏
No wonder why he gets all the ladies
@@misterfister5810 LMFAO
Just like me!
It's always the most unassuming that are actually the strongest. Anime rule #3
The Dark Souls boss logic works in HK too: the one your size is always the most terrifying
And way more epic
zote agrees
@@oldcowbb Zote is pretty easy after you beat him a couple times
Yeah it's sad that there is almost no bosses of the same size of the knight
Sly fight is a lot more territying than pure vessel
immediate respect to anyone that bows to the bosses. good job.
I always assumed other people did. Whoever doesn't clearly hasn't learned the most important nail art, Respect
I bowed to everyone except for Sly on ascended and radiant,he's greedy,he's tiny,and he cost me hours of my life
Only a few of them owe my respect tho, but sly is one of them
I love how sly bows upon his defeat. It gives him a sense of honor.
Well there is no malice in this fight, Mantis Lords, or one with Nail Masters. Only warrior against warrior to test their limits.
Me, the first phase: the frick?! He’s too fast!
Me, second phase: HOW THE HELL IS HE FLYING?!?!
Magic. Or wings. Maybe both?
Leaning towards magic.
how bout leaning towards hax
CrankyTemplar no he’s based on a fly cuz u know sly=fly isn’t it obvious ?
@@crazyman7504 Well, now I feel dumb
Jesus... It must be terrifying getting close for hits knowing his attack range is like quadruple+ his size.
He's actually open to be hit after his double slash/cyclone attack and after his cyclone slash nail art. If I parried more you can get more hits in too.
quintuple*
NONUPLE
Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you?
_Well about the size of his weapon..._
You've faced my pupils...
But you've never faced *me!*
Yoda
First, it was Grey Prince Zote holding me back from completing the Pantheon. Or so I thought.
Then I got to Sly, and, knowing his attack pattern, managed to die in less than thirty seconds.
At least I've practiced GPZ to the point where I can beat him _most_ of the time...
I know im late to respond to this but i never saved him.. and i never had to fight him in the pantheon becuase of that xD
im in the exact same situation, any tips?
@@darkfeeels keep throwing yourself at them until you get the pattern down, and then keep going until you perfect it. took me like a week to beat radiant zote, and i'm still figuring out how to beat sly without taking too much damage.
@@eaglehaze1600 I did it two days ago finally
Eaglehaze I have a tip for Sly. Only attack him after his double swing into upwards flip attack in phase I. For phase II just rely on shadow dash to land hits or spells. If you do get hit in his second phase then smack him with your nail during the i-Frames. That’s all I did. Killing hornet with nail only helped, it left me with almost full health for sly. Best of luck!
Pale King must love Sly. He turns into a buzzsaw.
lmao
After defeating sly
Sly: I bestow upon you the greatest honor, the title of Nailsage ! Henceforth, you will be known as Ghost the nailsage.
Ghost: ...
Sly: What ? You thought I would give you my mountain of geo ? That is mine sir and rightfully traded !
Ghost: ......
Sly: I don't care if the price of that lantern was a complete scam you bought it
Almost broke my TV battling him normally,I need an essay on every second of this video
I wanted to be a nailmaster I said, but the nailmaster didnt listen he just kept on nailing
I got the reference!
Anyone else get the vibe that Sly is basically the Master Yoda of Hollow Knight?
And here's me, standing in the room with Godseeker right before Sly FOR THE FIRST TIME with onla 4 masks trying to memorize his moves in a YT video so I got the SLYthest chance...
Me rn but on full hp ;-;
@@man_like_forg1121 I am also there, full HP, praying to never having to fight zote ever again... God, sly, please be nice!
(edit: he actually was. I did it. First try. Oh my god. Never. Fighting. Zote. EVER AGAIN. GOD FUCK YEA I AM DONE WITH THIS ASSHOLE! YESSSSSS!!!!!!!)
@@angrypicture6155 pantheon of the hallownest wants to know your location
@@aogasd I know, I know. Been there a couple of times already, but abs is just too much for me.
"Hey lil buddy. This'll be a pretty easy boss fight."
*Sly grabs nail*
"Oh sh-"
I like the little bow at the end
"You can smack it...
...only once"
Ngl that last phase had my jaw on the floor the first time I got to it
I like how the coach of the three nail masters uses what he taught his people and uses it against us aka dash slash great slash and spin slash
Sly used Great Slash, Dash Slash, Spin Dash *and Saw blades*
I've discovered the fight today. After about 25 minutes of practicing, I felt like I started being pretty decent for the first phase, but I had no idea how to hit him in the second phase. Thank you for this video, it's very helpful.
I gotta say, for the moment I find him extremely fun to fight. Most of the third pantheon kinda sucks, but having Hornet 2 and him at the end almost makes it worth it. I guess I have a thing for small ennemies with fast-paced attacks that don't spamm projectiles in random patterns and instead actually attack you direcly(I'm talking about you: Godtamer, Elder Hu, Galien, the collector, grey prince zote and Uumuu! Fuck you all!). The fight feels so much more fair that way.
i love the collector fight, Easily one of my favorite bosses.
also it took you 25 minutes to practice beating regular sly or radiant sly?
@@dilorano6829 The collector is a good concept and his sound effects are on point, but the fight itself is meh.
I'm talking about regular sly. Ascended sly took me about half an hour to beat(I did him weeks later, I had taken a break from Hollow knight and had done another 107% playthrought). I have never tried any boss on radiant, since I'm not even done with ascended bosses yet, thanks to absolute fucking radiance.
Grimm is there too,he is my favorite boss
@@leomorais3781 I don't know, I think Grimm last a bit too long for how simplistic the fight is, but it's certainly better than most of the pantheon, althought I've recently become quite good at Godtamer, I actually kinda like it better than Grimm at this point. .
@@dilorano6829Collector’s laugh is contagious af, sure, but his fighjt is very easy
Been trying to beat P3 for a few months and finally won after dying to final phase Sly, contemplating life for a few minutes then beating P3
William: "How big should this bosses weapon be?"
Ari: **thumbs up emoji**
Practiced Sly about 14 times or so and now I know when to hit, dash, and jump in accordance to his body language
He just becomes a loodle in phase two, I love it
I love how the best tactic against sly is nail arts considering you have such a little window to hit him
Everybody gangsya till sly pulls out the comically large nail
Before: oh, look! A merchant! After: HECK, HOW THE FRICK IS HE DOING THIS!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I mean from the dialogue I new he was the 3 masters master
Phew, finally beat the third pantheon. Keep dodging and always keep a Great Slash charged up. In the second phase I kept trying to lead him into the middle so I wasn't backed into a corner by his spin attack.
helpful
Did you noticed that he using nailmaster's art of nail but stronger and faster
Oro 00:21
Mato 00:29
Sheo 00:39
He's the one who teach them though
Das the point my guy
He ain't the nail master for shits and giggles
Nailsage
Swap mato and sheo, Sheo taught you great slash and mato taught you cyclone slash
wow sence when did they added bug yoda he look sick as hell
Damn, I can't even beat him on Attuned difficulty. Good job.
I’m not joking when I say it took me longer to beat sly than NKG my first time. Respect to you for doing it nail only and raidiant
Your technique in beating him really did help me
First time when we got boss with the same size as we
True players bow to Sly and his pupils, post every victory.
you can cheese him by just standing on the extreme left (when he is on the right) or the extreme right (obviously, when he is on the left), so, you just need the sharp shadow charm, then you dash through him when he goes at you. If you want a faster kill, you can equip some charm like grimm child, dream shield, etc. If you are able to get past all the bosses until him in the Pantheon of The Sage with those charms, I think that you actually have the skills to fight him in a legit way like on this video.
I love this fight, probably the most fun fight in the whole game! But ur amazing....
The smallest boss primarily fights like a heavy. Glorious!
A tip for his second phase from me - don’t move. Sly will jump from one wall to another. The second he floats midair near you - dodge away (preferably away from him, because his circle is big). Please wait till he’s finished with attack (don’t run towards him) and make a quick 1 hit. Preferably keep your position in the centre, you can manoeuvre after he does his attack for a second or two. Again: just watch him, if he floats near you - dodge.
tk u
People always say “The Knight for Smash!”
...but have they ever considered... SLY for Smash???
his hitboxes fit right is, is all i’m saying..
He’d be a better smash character than the Knight, that’s true. Combat wise it would make more sense.
Whilst practicing this fight to do the pantheon I found Dashmaster really useful for evading his attacks. Sprintmaster was good aswell. Then I just used Mark of Pride and Longnail. But then again I had a Pure Nail so he went down pretty easily
your strategy helped me so much in this boss!
Awesome! Good luck with P4 and P5!
CrankyTemplar yeah, now pure vessel is giving me trouble lol
Never underestimate a fly
Hard to hit and have faster reaction time than your hand
wish they would have given the knight that rotating, vertical wheel slash. Cyclone slash is cool, but that wheel slash would have been a lot more helpful.
after 50+ resets i managed to do him hitless!
feel like sly is an example of a super frustrating boss that makes no sense when you do your first couple attempts, but once you get it down it's so satisfying
Hello, I am a Hollow Knight fan from China. You did pretty good job on radiant boss fights and I wanna repost this series of Hollow Knight video to a Chinese website. Is it OK? I will put your RUclips ID in the description
Sure, that's fine.
He’s as good with the nail as he is at bartering for goods only you can get from him…dude is ruthless, and clearly based on Yoda, but that’s ok.
His second phase fucks me up more than his first ngl
so the way is just to always run away except hitting him immediately after he attacks
So he’s basically Yoda, cool
2:21 ""gira! pega!""
Sly: if so powerful you are, why leave
Hollow Knight: you will not stop me, little ghost will become more powerful than either us
Sly: faith in your good brother misplaced me be, as your faith in the dark side of the hollownest
Yeah dude i run away even more than you but HE STILL REACHES ME
I can beat phase 1 but 2 is like impossible
Sly = Bug fusion of Cloud and Sephiroth
I know it sounds weird but roll with it.
How did you not get hit at 1:11
Forgiving hitboxes, I guess.
@@Dinoman972 Hollow Knight being forgiving? Hell no
*edit - I looked again and realized that you guys meant a little closer to 1:12 than I thought (because 1:11 starts with a pogo for me). Forgiving hitbox sounds about right.
@@lapanthanim for me it starts with him on the ground
3:17 the reverence lol
Sly is sooo fun when you learn all his moves
I was not expecting this character to pull a Yoda on me...
I subscribed just as you bowed back.
I can't be the only one who bows and says "baamaaaa" everytime.
i just realized that sly does nail arts when he's fighting
i think this boss is actually harder than nkg
I defeated Radiant NKG, so I tried Sly's battle thinking would be easy. I'm literally taking a break after 1 hour of genocide coming from his side
@@JupiterFCG i first fought Grey Prince Zote and hes pretty tricky, then i reached sly and i was jaw dropping why fighting him, i wasnt expecting him to be moving like a fucking jedi master but i managed to defeat him in my very 2nd attempt but hes definitely 2x harder than Grey Prince Zote. But for some reason NKG is like 3x harder than Nailmaster Sly bc it literally took me almost 2 hrs of defeating NKG after first fighting him.
glad im not the only one bowing after fighting the nailmasters
Patowas Geo?
- Sly before he takes your soul
I just watched ur video and i just wanted to thank u, i was stuck at the pantheon with sly and i watched ur video, i was like if he can do it in radiant when u don't have to take a single hit, i can do this in the pantheon where i can take some hits and i fucking did it 😭😭😭 thanks
Awesome, glad it helped! Good luck in the fourth pantheon!
@@CrankyTemplar thank you so much dude 😂😂😭😭🔥
Imagine if you had to fight him before you could get Nailmaster’s Glory
Finally a battle all about nails
Sly built like yoda
He is basically guts
3:17
Sly: Well done... you truly bring honor to the Art of the Nail.
The one nail art that you have not learned
The sawblade slash
Sly’s Favorite
Last boss really needs the long nail it can be done without but its so hard i wouldnt recomend it or just blast him with soul.
the progress of the fight
yooooo sly whachu doin in this pantheon??
HOLY CRAP HES GOT A NAIL
beats first phase
LETS GOO GET OUT OF HERE MAN
nail stays in the air
OHHHHHH HOW THE FUCK CAN HE FLY
master yoda of hallownest
Zote & Uumuu had me stumped for weeks. Now I’m here and need all the help I get. Coming up with Mnemonic devices to help. 😅
One-two, circle-boom
Jump smash strike,
Pogo the hello!
Dash through his slash.
Dash away circle pain
Don’t get greedy! Stay in the middle of the screeny!
Good luck!
*This guy dodging*
Me: *descending dark*
This boss is painful to learn how to fight, but once you get it, it is actually tolerable.
matt from wii sports is smiling down on you
If I ever see a 4’2 mf pull a 12’7 blade/nail from the sky and hold it so effortlessly, I’m accepting my fate
wow cranky looked down at the end to bow with the master
I always try to bow…I just feel like it’s a tournament of who’s worthy when I’m fighting nail masters…
after i beated sly i was like "who ever beats this guy on radiant is an literal god" well what do you know someone actually did it
B A M A....
Uhhhh hey bro what's that about at 1:11
Cause it kinda looks to me like you got hit
Liked the vid Becuse you bowed
How the hell do you do phase 2? I die in approximately 0.2 seconds
Try to position on one side between the center and the wall (do not be at the wall while Sly is flying around). Wait for Sly to come near you. Once he stops, dash away from him and then move back in to attack once his spinning ends (nail swing, dash slash, or shade soul all work well). Rinse and repeat. If he flies over your head start moving toward the other side as he'll probably loop down at you. Try to keep Sly obviously on one side when he stops so dashing is easier (Sharp Shadow's dash extension can also help). Other than that, it takes practice to get used to it. Good luck!
Tfw you can go hitless until Sly but still dies to his first and second phases all the time smh.
A true Gamer
Is his battle cry in the 2nd phase geo? Sounds like what he’s saying and it totally fits!
HATOOWAS, GEO.
1:10 did you use the invincibility glitch ?."focus on the blade "
I have never used cheats or glitches for anything hitless or challenge-related. I have seen odd things with the hitbox like that happen before.
Greatsword mains:
That's Yoda for ya'll
What charms are you using?
For Sly, I used Quick Slash/Unbreakable Strength/Mark of Pride. The other two notches were Grubsong/Dreamwielder (I forgot to switch them out from doing pantheons).
Much appreciated.
@@CrankyTemplar we use the same charms except for quick slash. I'm not quite used to it
His second fase seems easier than his 1 fase
Kind of, P2 is just about reacting to his spins quickly enough. P1 is mostly predictable moves.
Boy are you wrong
@@TheDuckyDino imho its way easier
Literally the only thing blocking me from every single boss in the game.
I know it's been a while since you posted this video but I gotta ask, what charms are you using?
Apologies, but I have completely forgotten at this point. I'm pretty sure I at least used strength and mark of pride (possibly long nail too).
@@CrankyTemplar dang! Well, it was worth a shot! The reason I was asking is because with his 1-2-spin attack, he seemed to be catching up to me faster than the videos I had seen, where (like in this one) they'd just walk away from him and he wouldn't hit them, and I still can't do that! I have to dash at the right time or he'll get me, and I had wondered if anyone was using sprintmaster or something to get away quicker. Still, I've found a method that (more often than not) works for me, so it's fine. Thanks for the reply, have a nice day!
@@mykmac2599 Are you still strungling with Sly? or did you already beat him?
@@FaptaA I beat him! I think I had done that just a day or two after this comment, and if you're struggling, my advice is using sharp shadow and dashing through some of his attacks, esp the second phase. Plus, in the first phase, only smack him once after each attack, don't get greedy. Bc you can only get him once, using quick slash is kind of a waste. Mark of pride def helps tho, and you can add on longnail if you want/can.
Now do it with damage
