After losing Isma, being exiled by the king, and forced to give up his knights vow...is he? Defeating him as White Defender and seeing him after is heartbreaking. Dude lost all his dreams.
I absolutely love this boss. Just cheerfully laughing while jumping through poop, bouncing around in poop, and diving through poop. He just really really likes poop and he's having the time of his life. Best part is, he's not insane from infection, that's just the kind of guy he is.
I don’t think he has the best time of his life, he shows great happiness and excitement but on the inside he’s hurting as explained through most of his lore.
This guy might just be my favourite boss in the game. He has a hilarious voice, he gives me time to heal, his abilities are all nice and dodgeable, but still remains a fairly difficult fight, (I beat him 2nd try, same as mantis lords and more than hornet for me) but above all he's a boss that attacks by throwing shit at you. How could you not love a boss that attacks by throwing shit at you?!
naol llams a could you explain why he's lame?He's fantastic and so cheerful.It breaks the mood of the game and gives the player time to relax,since he isnt hard.His story is very sad though
Here's a fun one: sacred scarabs (a dung beetle species) were associated with the Egyptian sun god Khepri, whom they believed rolled the sun across the sky each day like a dung ball. He IS kind of HK's own Solaire of Astora!
Kudos to this game's creators... They managed to make a Dung Beetle... A BEETLE THAT ROLLS UP PILES OF SHIT... the most lovably goofy boss in the entire game and still a decent challenge. Goddamn!
I love this guy but I can’t help but feel bad for him. He literally is locked in the sewers as an exile and has lost all of his friends and dreams to fight with them again going back to his glory days. Yet he can’t cause they’re all dead or missing. So he lives alone waiting and it just makes me sad.
I mean, You have to admire he's a non corrupted boss who just seems delighted to fight and do hisduty. He mistaiescyou for a monster and even apologiesif you talk to him again.
I was SO happy to see he was still alive. This game broke my heart too many times with such adorable characters dying. I felt so bad for Myla and also for the poor maggot (False Knight), his story was so sad.
I was grinning as I fought Defender, gasped as I defeated him and gasped in horror as he exploded and flew to the background. I let out a sigh of relief when I saw him burrow back into his crap
HAHAHA!!! I was shocked to see that the False Knight, deep down, was just a tiny poor little maggot without the armor... LOL... and Myla is ADORABLE, the way she sings!!!!! :-)
This guy was so refreshing to fight in the middle of what was otherwise one of the creepiest and most disturbing areas in the game. VAAAAAAAA THUNDAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
@@Firefight_ Crystal peak and Royal waterways are the worst beginner levels like I wish it was like when you defeat mantis lords if you defeat flukemarm the flukes you kill will never respawn
I think Egyptians valued scarabs for a similar reason. Something about how their balls of dung, the literal scum of the earth, represented the godly sun.
One of my favourite hollow knight characters. There are not many(actualy only hornet) characters in this game who laugh when they fight you or you hit them. He's nice. I like him.
He's my favourite boss, not just because he's lovable but because of his gameplay. He's juuuuuust the right type of challenging, hard enough to make you think while fighting but not enough to make you go insane and die 1000 times. The most fun boss in almost all the videogames i've ever played, big shit bug truly is the best hollow knight character.
I just fought him today and he’s such a fun boss to fight I didn’t have the ability to unlock the bench nearby so I had to walk from the city of tears but oh my did I enjoy his fight His voice His abilities His looks The background It’s just all amazing and fantastic I love this game ^_^
tip for people who struggle: If you have descending dark or dive you can knock him out of his underground phase and stagger him. :) it made the fight more fun for me!
Yeah, I died a bajillion times to the Mantis Lords and once to this guy... I think it's pretty clear who's the more dangerous boss here =D I surprisingly didn't have much trouble against the Soul Master. After just a couple of attempts I figured out how to cheese the hell out of him.
If you stay in the right corner of the room, his charge doesn't reach you, his bolts are easily avoidable with a jump 90% of the time (and with a dash the rest of the time), and he can't teleport directly above you so the only dangerous part of his Desolate Dive is the shockwave rather than the Master himself. Once you learn to time your jumps to avoid the Soul Master's orbiting shield, pretty much the only attack of his that can still pose a threat to you is when he warp-cancels his Desolate Dive into another Desolate Dive, and that should be rare enough for the good ol' Soul Catcher + Grubsong combo to keep your health topped.
first time meeting this dude : lmao his name is dung defender and his theme is so heroic, he is so funny with his laugh too after learning the lore : *it's always the fucking comedic/funny character that gets the saddest stories isn't it ?*
I just love him so much, he only fights you for the fun of it and love that as you fight him you can tell, the biggest tell is him on the ground just laughing with joy. He is my all time favorite fight in hollow knight and I stall this fight as long as I can just for him lol.
I swear my first encounter was like this: I hear someone speaking, I arrive to a zone literally made out of crap and then I started screaming in fear and confusion
y'all are saying you like him because he throws shit at you, i like him because once he's defeated and you pass through, he pops out, apologizes, tells you to go on, and then he's just chilling there
When I first heard his voice I thougt I was going to find a jolly Solaire to lend a hand, but it was more like a jolly Solaire boss fight. And I wouldn't want it any other way.
imagine a game playing as Ogrim in hallownest before the infection, you would be able to meet the 5 knights and attack enemy's with crap, i would love that.
You know how other bosses like the false knight and broken vessel explode with this weird Orange thing But the dung defender litteraly explodes with shit
After defeating him, I only felt an adrenaline rush because he wasn't even trying to harm me. There was no aggression in his attacks. He was just enjoying the battle. P.S.: even when he falls, he doesn’t make sounds of pain like other bosses, but laughs like “okay, you got me, interesting.”
I LOVE that when most characters release the infection when they die, Ogrim is just like, spreading the p00p smell and shit all around. 😭😭😭 I love this game.
I found a cool glitch today. If you stagger Ogrim just as he's going under, you'll hear his battle cries and environmental noises, but nothing actually happens until the stagger time is over. He just pops onto the screen and keeps fighting.
They should’ve made him a Sparring character; You can see him piece out to the dung piles in the background, maybe he’s just chilling for the next time we visit. Just an idea
This guy appeared to be pretty intimidating at first, but the battle turned out to be one of the easiest in the game (he's the only boss I didn't die a single time to, apart from False Knight). It felt almost as if he intentionally didn't want to hurt the main character too much. Nonetheless, the fight itself remains one of the most fun and enjoyable throughout the game.

3 Reasons why this guy is the best character in the entire game:
1: his battle theme
2: his voice
3: the fact that he literally throws shit at you
And he has a love story or something like that
And the fact he's one if the kindest bosses despite giving you the most shit.
Ok now what the shit
Second best voice, but otherwise true
FireEye who’s first
Admit it, we all came here for his voice.
DOMA DOMA
BAAAHHHHHHHH THOONDAAAAA!!!
And his theme!
Ahahaha
love this boss
He sounds so happy to fight
He's so jolly and happy
After losing Isma, being exiled by the king, and forced to give up his knights vow...is he? Defeating him as White Defender and seeing him after is heartbreaking. Dude lost all his dreams.
@@danemp4727a way to bring the mood down
Like the Collector, right?
@@nazhiraghassani7783 The Collector is more...manic, like a junky getting his dose.
I love him
I think he's the only character in the game who's even remotely happy
He is not happy.. Just trying his best to pretend so he can get to terms with his past memories

I absolutely love this boss. Just cheerfully laughing while jumping through poop, bouncing around in poop, and diving through poop. He just really really likes poop and he's having the time of his life. Best part is, he's not insane from infection, that's just the kind of guy he is.
Don't forget that he's one of the most honorable knights and hallownest and is totally a hero.
Wizelf 402 even if he wasn’t An honorable knight he’d still remain a hero in our hearts
Well he is a ding beetle after all.
I don’t think he has the best time of his life, he shows great happiness and excitement but on the inside he’s hurting as explained through most of his lore.
When I fought with him I wasn't even mad for the times he killed me, this boss fight is so fun
I am so glad that he doesn't die, he is just genuinely having fun, and was actually fun to fight.
Or at least… he puts on more of a facade than anyone else you’ll meet in Hallownest.
@@kylestubbs8867 Well, I know he mourns the loss of Isma, and I know that he knows about the vessels, but other than that, he is totally positive.
This guy might just be my favourite boss in the game. He has a hilarious voice, he gives me time to heal, his abilities are all nice and dodgeable, but still remains a fairly difficult fight, (I beat him 2nd try, same as mantis lords and more than hornet for me) but above all he's a boss that attacks by throwing shit at you. How could you not love a boss that attacks by throwing shit at you?!
Superwar 3795 you are Fucking gay
This is one of the easier boss fights in the game. And depending on what charms you've equipped it can be stupidly easy.

DOMADOMA HAHAHA
Also cause hes actually good. He just fights u cause he thinks ur a intuder
Here's a fun one: sacred scarabs (a dung beetle species) were associated with the Egyptian sun god Khepri, whom they believed rolled the sun across the sky each day like a dung ball.

and what a CHARM he has :D

how am i supposed to take your game seriously with this jolly boi here
Kudos to this game's creators... They managed to make a Dung Beetle... A BEETLE THAT ROLLS UP PILES OF SHIT... the most lovably goofy boss in the entire game and still a decent challenge. Goddamn!
And the most honourable one too.
You are underestimating an egyptian sacred symbol and the world strongest animal
And that Majestic voice😂

Omg man is that actually true? Like is it in the lore
@@kutzelberg8088 yes its in the lore
This is a game that looks brighter and happier on the outside than the inside, man this story is depressing.
There is still hope maybe he will appear in silksong if you beat his dream form a number of times he will be gone
I agree this makes me sad too :(
Someone give this guy his own game!

A Happy boss that enjoy to fight with poop.
Tbf, he's a type of insect that use poops to build most of their stuffs.
It's quite clever to use this as a theme to fight.
I mean, You have to admire he's a non corrupted boss who just seems delighted to fight and do hisduty. He mistaiescyou for a monster and even apologiesif you talk to him again.

TRULY AN HEROIC SMELL

I was SO happy to see he was still alive. This game broke my heart too many times with such adorable characters dying. I felt so bad for Myla and also for the poor maggot (False Knight), his story was so sad.
I was grinning as I fought Defender, gasped as I defeated him and gasped in horror as he exploded and flew to the background. I let out a sigh of relief when I saw him burrow back into his crap
you feel less bad for the maggots when they won't shut up after dream nailing the corpse for the 6th time
HAHAHA!!! I was shocked to see that the False Knight, deep down, was just a tiny poor little maggot without the armor... LOL... and Myla is ADORABLE, the way she sings!!!!! :-)
Same for myla
I felt really bad for killing the other two maggots for a journal entry
I like this boss as he gives time to heal.
All bosses gives time to heal, you need to find the moment.
some of them gave very short and precise moments, and I mean VERY short

God, I love this game.
The defender is obviously messing around in this fight, he’s laughing and playfully taunting. Imagine dung defender using 100% of his power 😳
That is just White Defender, brutha.

I smiled throughout the entire boss fight
What if you wanted to live but dung defender said *Toma toma toma toma toma*
GREATEST BOSS FIGHT IN THE HISTORY OF ANYTHING EVER.
0:40 Pink guy, what are you doing out of Papa Franku's basement?
This bossfight juxtaposed with the absolutely horrifying sewers is one of the best creative decisions in the game.

One of my favourite hollow knight characters. There are not many(actualy only hornet) characters in this game who laugh when they fight you or you hit them. He's nice. I like him.
this happy boy is tough
First time of my playing, his laughter echoing throughout the royal waterways creeped tf out of me lol

It’s just all amazing and fantastic
I love this game ^_^
He becomes a pushover with the desolate dive
One of the funniest battles in the game, felt like a sparring between two friends or bros
I'm curious, how many of you came back here after hearing the new MOTI song with Darby singing as everyone's favorite Dung Defender? 'Raises hand.'
Sounds like a intense weater report
THE LOATHSOME DUNG -EATER- DEFENDER
I came here seeking for this comment, thank you xD
The Wholesome Dung Defender
HUNDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Someone really needs to do a Dung Defender vs. Great Mighty Poo crossover XD
Dung defender would roll him up
If anybody have this kind of optimism during a fight, nothing can beat him. Love this guy!
tip for people who struggle: If you have descending dark or dive you can knock him out of his underground phase and stagger him. :) it made the fight more fun for me!
he is like a guy who just wants to have fun at a game
Such a joyfull character in such a dark world. Kind of like Salubra, or the grubs...
Wait a second, you died to him? HIM?!
I died to him once in all my playthroughs. I wasn't prepared for a boss fight, so I wasn't wearing good boss charms.
I mean, it's ok, but I find it much easier than most other bosses at this stage of the game (mantis lords, soul master, all that bullshit).
Yeah, I died a bajillion times to the Mantis Lords and once to this guy... I think it's pretty clear who's the more dangerous boss here =D
I surprisingly didn't have much trouble against the Soul Master. After just a couple of attempts I figured out how to cheese the hell out of him.
Astute Anansi how? Cause he is annoying as hell
If you stay in the right corner of the room, his charge doesn't reach you, his bolts are easily avoidable with a jump 90% of the time (and with a dash the rest of the time), and he can't teleport directly above you so the only dangerous part of his Desolate Dive is the shockwave rather than the Master himself.

you know you can hit away the dung balls when they're bouncing around. and also you can hit him upwards when he is in ball form. good job :)
first time meeting this dude : lmao his name is dung defender and his theme is so heroic, he is so funny with his laugh too
after learning the lore : *it's always the fucking comedic/funny character that gets the saddest stories isn't it ?*
Dung Defender makes me so happy. He's my favourite boss so far! I love his upbeat mutterings, and everything about him!
The voice makes the song perfect
I just realized this is the background gameplay that MOTI used in his video
Did he just say aleyoop? 2:21
JeuJosh He did lol
How this character manages to give me the biggest hype in the game will always impress me
I remember when I came here because this fight seemed like the hardest thing ever
what a fool I was back then
Pro tip: You can deflect the dung balls.
I just love him so much, he only fights you for the fun of it and love that as you fight him you can tell, the biggest tell is him on the ground just laughing with joy. He is my all time favorite fight in hollow knight and I stall this fight as long as I can just for him lol.
I swear my first encounter was like this: I hear someone speaking, I arrive to a zone literally made out of crap and then I started screaming in fear and confusion
I love the dung defender! He's so jolly and happy! I also recomend staying in a corner and healing with the Baldur shell.
y'all are saying you like him because he throws shit at you, i like him because once he's defeated and you pass through, he pops out, apologizes, tells you to go on, and then he's just chilling there
What a cheerful boss.
0:26 when they ask me what car would You like ? AAAAAAAA HONDAAAAAAAAAAAA
When I first heard his voice I thougt I was going to find a jolly Solaire to lend a hand, but it was more like a jolly Solaire boss fight.
And I wouldn't want it any other way.
Haven't finished the game, best boss fight. Nothing can top this jolly boy.
Just beat this guy yesterday on my second try. My favorite boss fight so far and I love the music.
That moment when one of the most honorable characters in the game is the same one that attacks you with his own shit
all hail our master
the DUNG KING
This character was so different from the rest! Hearing his boisterous gibberish on the way there was bloody creepy for me though.
I love how a bug that throws shit is one of the most complex characters
imagine a game playing as Ogrim in hallownest before the infection, you would be able to meet the 5 knights and attack enemy's with crap, i would love that.
I don't get the hate this guy gets
His fight is simple
His patters are easy to understand and its just a joyful fight overall
My favorite boss tbh
Wait, people give this guy hate?
I found it to be one of the easier fights so far.
kuunami I find it to be one of the hardest ones along with elder hu,then again I only reached the broken vessel
I really expected that after a friendly battle I could talk to him, he sounds so nice.
i love how flamboyant he is but GODDAMN STOP THROWING POOP AT ME WHILE I HEAL
I love his voice, it sounds like he's actually enjoying himself
This is the only boss that Ive beaten without dying at all
You’ve heard of the Loathsome Dung Eater, now get ready for the Wholesome Dung Eater
The Dung Defender
The Poo Protector
The Guano Guardian
The Caca Custodian
The Shit Sentinel
He also shouts "Garara!", like Hornet
It probably means "en garde", as they're both knight-like characters
When I met him again later I was surprised because I thought that I killed him
Everything about this boss was incredible. I absolutely would kill to fight him again
You know how other bosses like the false knight and broken vessel explode with this weird Orange thing
But the dung defender litteraly explodes with shit
After defeating him, I only felt an adrenaline rush because he wasn't even trying to harm me. There was no aggression in his attacks. He was just enjoying the battle.
P.S.: even when he falls, he doesn’t make sounds of pain like other bosses, but laughs like “okay, you got me, interesting.”

I love this guy so much.
This boss is awesome. Had so much fun with this upbeat dude
That dude deserves his own serie of games
the reason this boss is so hard is because you have such a hard time hurting him, the mental battle you go through to beat him up
They should’ve made him a Sparring character; You can see him piece out to the dung piles in the background, maybe he’s just chilling for the next time we visit. Just an idea
Litteraly what happens
Certified Best Friend Material right there.
He sounds hs says "FROM UNDAAAAAAAA"
He really introduces himself like hes a wrestler this is why hes the best
Defender, he seems like a ball of joy and fun.
People: Who do you wish to me more like in the future?
Me:
This is the most fun fight I’ve ever had
I can proudly say that dung defender is my favourite boss it is so fun yet challenging 10/10
This guys swims in poop without looking ridiculous.
Impressive.
easily my favorite boss next to mantis lords
What a dapper fellow
A humble dung beetle is the most noble and selfless hero in the game.
Dont forget, you can use desolate dive when he’s fully underground. He’ll come out staggered, and it can save you some time (not SOUL though.)
This guy appeared to be pretty intimidating at first, but the battle turned out to be one of the easiest in the game (he's the only boss I didn't die a single time to, apart from False Knight).
