      the name Hollow Knight is certainly 100% given to the Pure Vessel (as we see statues of him over and over with this moniker) so yeah it's confusing to refer to the main character as this as well, but its also not wrong (as you and him are essentially the same type of being). Both Hollow Knights and both pure vessels for the same purposes. However there are many clearer names to call the MC such as "Ghost" (affectionately dubbed to you by Hornet) or something differentiating like "Little Knight". Either way- you're all right.
      The real point is- OBM is is super right, I adore when Ghost whips out his nail all "FIGHT ME" and the Mantis Lords stand up "U WOT M8"(this phrasing slayed me). It's extremely unique to this one fight alone where it gives more of a challenging feel than an outright sudden attack by other bosses. That coupled with this music, to me, easily puts this as my most beloved boss fight in the entire game (next to Grimm who refers to fighting as dancing and bows to you with equal respect towards his sparring partner). The fact that these bosses also don' DIE like the rest, but rather regard you for he rest of he game is just outright amazing. Brilliant. I love it so much.

    This is such a well done boss fight, I know I'm tooting this games horn at this point but jesus freaking christ dude. The first phase teaches you all the moves right away to keep you prepared for the second phase, the second phase's big reveal is quick enough that it shocks you but takes long enough for you to sort of get your breaings, and then each of them attack in such a way that you can clearly see what to do next, one attacks then leaves giving you an opening to dodge and then one acts as a smokescreen to cover the others attacks and make them slightly harder to read. 10 of 10 quite enjoyable

      there's two benches closer to the Mantis Village, one within the area that the Lords are in (but you have to dash to get to it otherwise a mantis will throw a switch which effectively blocks off the entire area) and another one is in the area just beyond the entrance to the Mantis Village, at the very bottom right corner. At this point you've probably already figured it out, but it's just something you might want to know. It saves a lot of time from Queen's Station and saved me a lot of time when coming back to fight the Lords lmao

    -Knowing all the information about the mantis lords prepares you for this fight.
    -The sudden chills when the knight pulls out his nail and the Mantis Lords stood up and the doors IMMEDIATELY close.
    -The music timing when they stood up also gives you chills and GOD it's badass!
    -The middle mantis being the strongest one, but tends to go easy on you as if they're challenging you to prepare what's coming. The slow pace of this phase really gives you time to memorize it's movements.
    -The movements are swift and fun to look at and dodge. It gives the fun in this fight to make you feel like *you're actually challenging them in-game as the knight itself*.
    -As the middle mantis is down, they just swiftly return to their seat and without prediction, the two other ones would show up. For me when I was facing this boss, I thought only one of them was gonna come next. Boy was I WRONG.

    To anyone having trouble: if you're getting low on health, just wall jump to the top right or left or whatever, let him throw his disc, then drop down and get a heal in. Rinse and repeat for more heals.

    A tip for anybody doing this in the second phase when the two of them stand on the walls and throw their lances at you if you stand underneath the middle throne if their lances that they throw meet above you you're safe to heal but if they go past each other than you are not.

  • @wd3185

    Something I love about this game is that almost every single fight feels tough but fair. This is a great example because it's fast-paced, nerve-wracking and requires fast reflexes and accuracy in both dodging and attacking, but it is absolutely fair. The attacks are telegraphed with enough time to react if you've learned the pattern, there's no bullshit RNG to avoiding said attacks, and once you've mastered getting attacks in, it's simply learning to survive long enough to win.

    still the best fight in this game. The music, the way that it's perfectly balanced, as they telegraph their attacks a lot, but it still has challenge after dying to them, the quick reactions to which pattern their nails go in, and again, the music.

    I beat it pretty fast. Favorite fight of the game, because it's like a dance. When you learn moves you feel invincible! Worst fight of the game was Watchers Knight for me, because it has no logic especially compared to this fight with mantis lords. Mantis traitor also took a while to beat, but does not feel right. This fight feels incredible, logical and beautifully paced. 10/10!!!

    • @MrHater-su9iz
      @MrHater-su9iz 6 лет назад +2

      baklanos no boss in hollow knight deserves a 10/10 besides nightmare king grimm wanna know why?
      because mantis lords suffer from difficulty and it's easy once you learn they're pattern so get that 10/10 out of here they're a 9/10

    • @MrHater-su9iz
      @MrHater-su9iz 6 лет назад

    For those looking to heal during the battle, do it when the Mantis Lord(s) throw their loops. As long as you know where they'll throw and how you'll dodge them, you can even regenerate up to three masks!

    Everything about this fight is amazing, it's not too easy, not too hard, the music is perfect, and like idk I love the atmosphere around this fight.
    It's not like any other boss where you enter an empty room, the door closes and the boss engages you. Here THEY are the strongest in the village, they have their own pride to defend so they are waiting for the challenger, a.k.a YOU to engage the fight.
    Not to mention at the end of the fight they all bow in "mark of respect" (which is also the french traduction for the charm you obtain after), it's pretty accurate since all the mantis in the village bow toward you whenever you approach them

      @filipstysiak 4 года назад

      it's actually very easy to heal in the 2nd part of the fight. When they do the "double helicopter blade #2" - the one where both blades go to the center slowly, stay there and depart in the end like in 2:07 - you can actually stay still in the middle, heal, and the blades won't touch you.

      João Galdão lol, I beat them without the sixth mask. It took me more than 5 times. But after the third time, I realize the pattern and trick. Regarding the first Lord, you will see that when she lands on the metallic bar. If she stands a little lower, that’s mean she will throw her nail at the lower part, if she stands higher, she will throw it at the higher part first.
