this fight is unironically one of my favorite fights, when he's not dealing your whole health in one hit... the fact that it's always challenging makes fir something that I love
It’s a pretty good one, it’s the one I’ve probably practiced most yet still have the hardest time on, but it’s far from what I’d call the most difficult, he’s definitely an odd ball
Very entertaining guides, it is a pity,that you are too late for more viewers. Do not miss Silksong from the start,i promise ,i will definitly use your guides.Good Luck,go on.😊
Awesome Video! Loved your insights and advice, doubly loved your approachable and friendly vibe in the video! Thanks a bunch! Hope you do well in your youtube career going forward :)
I found the best strategy for Zote and that is to absolutely tank/slash him. Charms: Stalwart Shell, Unbreakable/Fragile Strength, Quick Slash, and Unbreakable/Fragile Heart or Lifeblood Heart (you won't heal anyway so doesn't matter). You shouldn't just bash your head against Zote, it will kill you before you kill it. Dodge the obvious attacks, kill the Zotelings when you can, but as soon as you get hit, just batter him like there's no tomorrow. Jump one shockwave, keep battering him, jump another shockwave, keep battering him. As soon as you get hit, just go nuts. Just watch out for his flail attack, as that messes up the combo. So avoid that one as you can. This works for Zotes 1-4. From Zote 5 onwards I found it to work less well although I did get him to final stage in Zote 5 even, so should be possible. Obviously not beyond that ;p PS. I love your Hollow Knight boss videos man. So detailed and accurate. Keep it up. I hope you will also do Silksong!
@BIG_SHOT_NEO Oh hey, didn't expect a reply after 11 months :) I wrote in my comment that it works for up to Zote 4 and possibly Zote 5. I'm not a very good HK player, so I'm sure you can make it work too. Make sure you are at the end of the game and have all upgrades, plus my suggested setup, then it should work. Might take a couple of tries.
I struggled with zote more than the radiance for me the reason he's so hard is how big the arena is most of the times I've died it's been him teleporting above me without me seeing because he's off screen
It's entirely optional content to do him 10 times - realistically you'd only ever do him once for 300 essence (you can also skip him entirely as you don't need GPZ to hit 2.4k essence nor is he necessary for Pantheon 3 or 5). The only thing you get is the statue turns gold if you defeat him 10 times and some extra dream nail dialogue from Bretta from GPZ 1-4, cause she leaves after that.
Can we just appreciate how he read all of Zote's increasing titles for every fight

@BIG_SHOT_NEO i also see now I had a typo. 'should bash' should be 'shouldnt bash' obviously. Will edit that.

Hardest boss in the game.
10 times the same stupid fight, high quality content.... things like that makes a god game a lot badder
