What nail did you use for this fight? I have the second nail (the first nail upgrade) and i was wondering if i needed to find the pale ore and upgrade the nail a bit more.
@@fellascallmethedrink I was speaking about this bench. Most of bosses in the game were right next to benches (maybe except traitor lord and some dream warriors). Btw I got 111% recently
I dont mind dying, it means i get to play this awesome fight again. But what is really annoying is that you gotta go through all of mantis village again to get there and you cant rush because the flying buggers will chase you
@@Internecivus_ there's a bench right nearby the soul master tho, I was delighted when I found it lol, it's right next to cornifer and theres a breakable wall next to it so it's actually rlly close to the fight
For those who think the fight is too hard or need help, the fight is optional(in my opinion) for your early game. Because, Deepnest is right after. Explore the kingdom more, nail upgrades help a lot. I used quick focus, long nail, and steady body for my fight. Beat them in less than 4 minutes.
Sega Dreams the City of Tears is where you get your upgrades !! One way is through forgotten crossroads. I’m not sure of any other way in as i haven’t played in a good bit. Look up how to get to City of Tears
a tip for anyone trying to do this: if you need to recover health before the second phase, there’s a pause between the two phases that’ll give you time to recover a decent amount of health before the second phase. also, during the second phase, if both mantises throw their boomerangs in the center and there’s space to stand under them, that’s a good time to heal too.
i adore the detail that once you beat the boss, all the Mantises in the area bow to you in honour and let you pass rather than attacking, as if you’ve earned their collective respect for challenging their lords and winning and you now have the right to move through the area unharmed
Im new to the gameI just beat it, and I really lose the mantis bowing part. It add so much character to the game, im only 21h in, but I with I could forget everything and re live every moment.
If you time it, you can also do a LOT of down slashes when they dash under you. When you're fighting two of them you can hit both at once when they both dash.
**Beats one** Me: Hell yeah! If I keep going like this, the other two will be a piece of cake! Remaining two Mantis Lords: **Attacks at the same time** Me: Aww, come on!!
@@vpekachu3363 you were a formidable opponent and great battle but honestly idk why everyone says you're impossible, I had more trouble with the ghost version of the vessel.
That second phase Is pure torture, I just cannot keep up with their movements... alright here come the next 7 hours of despair... edit: since this comment still seems to attract some people I should probably mention, that 2 years ago I was stubborn and went in there with barely any upgrades there is plenty of useful stuff in the game that helps trivializing the battle and if I would not have played it like the blind bat that I am then maybe it would not have taken a week that being said, I believe in you all, if there is anyone of you still trying, you can do it, have a nice day!
Honestly this is the only channel that's seriously helped me with the game. Without the soul master video I probably wouldn't have ever beat it. And before this I couldn't get past the first lord because of the boomerang attack, but I think I can properly dodge it now, so thanks a lot.
Thank you so much! I used the lifeblood heart, stalwart shell, and thorns of agony, without the lifeblood heart, I would have died, because I had 2 hp left at the end, lifeblood heart gives you 2 hp, now those little bitches respect me
They are challenging but the attacks are very clearly presented before they strike. You just have to be very patient, then they are actually pretty easy. The second phase can just be a little overwhelming because you have to dodge two of them and they don't always perform the same attacks. Dodge rather than attacking! Also, if you have the Great Slash nailart the first phase can be done much quicker. If you charge it again right away after hitting him the next slash will be ready when he is open for another hit. The Great Slash does 2.5x damage so it's faster than hitting him twice with regular strikes :) When they do their dual boomerang attack during the second phase you have enough time to heal at least once through focussing. Use that to keep your health up as they perform these attacks fairly often during the fight. You also get enough soul to do that because you habe two targets to hit. It's a difficult fight but once you figure out how they work it's a ton of fun and really rewarding when you beat them!
took me 5 or 6 attempts, but it was a good tactic. May I also add staying at around 1/3 from the left or right side of the floor makes dodging almost all attacks but one fairly easy if you need to heal and you have mantis claw, wall jump to the top and wait - at least 1 mantis lord goes up there and you can heal while theeir blade is spinning VERY far from reach
just so that it is known, the mantis lords are actually female, despite being named lords. If you fight them in godhome, a title text will show up after defeating the first mantis lord, referring to the three as the Sisters of Battle.
Small note for phase 2 on double boomerangs. The moment you see them jump up there, you have enough time to charge up 1 heal, then stand/dash away after. Also, audio on video seems to have desynced after a few years now.
Bruh just use baldur shell it’s an shield all around you and can take 2-3 hits instead of one and it gives you back soul if you get hurt during the focus💀
I tried to beat these guys so many times and It wasn't until I equipped the dream shield that I managed to do it. It also gave me time to focus heal if I did take hits.
If you want to heal in this fight, walljump to the top of the wall. Once the Mantis shows up, quickly drop down and get a heal off. It works because the ranged projectile can't hit you since you already kited it.
Also: If you get the crystal heart, you can use it on the top of the right wall before the fight. You’ll see a breakable wall, break it, and you’ll find a lifeblood cocoon. You can start the fight with two extra masks.
I just expected a video of it, I didn't expect a full-blown explanation, thanks so much! I knew the patterns thanks to the first phase (which I can do no problem) but I couldn't tell what was going on in the second
My son just got into hollow knight and we play together. We find your videos so helpful. Props for not cursing in your videos 😀 since I can watch them with son.
After doing 10+ of die-hard tries, I just skipped them, to come back later with Glowing Womb and Weaversong charms. Was wall-jumping all the time, while summons did the job. Haven't lost a single mask of hp.
You can safely heal during the boomerang attack in the second phase, during if it is the one where you do not need to jump and when it just ending which is the one where you need to jump. Being patient and not risking for double hits also helps alot. The fight is piss easy in the last phase when one is left, considering you would've gotten used to double that in the second phase.
The mantis lords are my favorite fight so far, but I do want to point out that you said he/him. All three mantis lords are sisters, but since you're more gameplay rather than story it's not a big deal. Great video, very helpful.
The main thing that gave me trouble with this fight were the boomerangs of doom. For the life of me I couldn’t dodge most of them, especially when they kept switching around during the solo phase. But the duo boomerangs were somehow easier since it was clear where they were coming from. Other than that, I loved how challenging and fast paced this fight was. Actually made me want to win despite getting my butt kicked. Really a good game with awesome sound track.
Watching out for the second mantis really was a great tip. Being cautious after the first mantis' attack (by sometimes not even attacking it) made the fight so much easier, idk why I never thought about it myself. Guess I kept getting overwhelmed lol
Rage quitted when I can’t beat them. Later gave up, went to resting grounds and city of tears, upgraded my nail twice, gathered more notches, charms and masks, came back and made it in two tries. All of this was just for kicking their ass. Fun boss fight tho I finally git gud
thankyou mate, I finally beat the mantis lord. although if I can add more tips, it is to heal when the lord do a boomerang attack, use shield charm and the spore charm. it really makes thing easier.
Brother, I haven't reached that bossfight yet and I'm already raging like crazy at the difficulty. Thank you for showing me how hard this game can get. I will uninstall it now and play a more relaxing game or get some work done. You have saved me SO MUCH time! I am grateful for you have shown me the path to enlightenment.
Selin Germann I understand you. I am not good with 🎮 but...i have given my best and so far i have died multiple times BUT when i pass that hard step it feels so rewarding! I have not finished the game yet. But i have the patience and im stubborn as hell 😂 so far is a very addictive game! 😄 And i love to explore all of those hidden areas when I need a break from all my epic fails! 😂
You’re missing out. This is a great game. Isn’t gaming about trying things, dying, getting better, and feeling like you accomplished a difficult obstacle?
Another tip since I don’t see it: if you need to heal during the first phase (you may be doomed already then but just in case) then wall jump to near the top and wait for the Mantis Lord to use the boomerang attack. Then you can drop back down to the platform and use one focus. Edit: You can also use focus during the attack in the second phase where you need to stay in the center. There’s plenty of time even without the quick focus charm.
Never understood why people had problem with this boss. I thought their pattern was so easy to get used to and beat it in like 3rd try. Spent 3 hours on nightmare king Grimm tho :D.
@@sungleong just upgrade your nail and this fight becomes so easy and since it's true that this boss is fast and you have no time to heal, you can spam the soul projectile while the Mantis are on the wall
They don't have the patience to learn. I think an average gamer needs 3-4 times to pass it. no need for a guide, when I beat them it took 3 tries and I did not even know you could downslash back then!
The thing is that the walk to the boss is too long. If the developers would put a bench next to every boss, then less people would struggle with it. The time it takes to get back to a boss could easily be spent on learning the patterns without any interruption in between.
@@hfcred6754 It takes me like 45 seconds to get back there and thats being extremely generous. I dont think it's too far away at all, unless youre stopping to kill enemies on the way
I wasn’t specifically talking about the Mantis Lords but they have that problem as well. Those 50 seconds or so you take to get to the fight could easily be used to practice patterns, if you’re not a very good player and it takes you around 10 tries to beat then that’s almost 10 minutes of time wasted just walking.
aside from the walk through mantis village - which gets irritating after a while - even though im struggling a bit with it, this boss is absolutely my favorite in the game so far. i'm someone who's easily discouraged by failure, but the mantis lords have kept me from getting frustrated because the fight is so *fun*. it's just fast-paced enough to give an adrenaline rush without feeling unfair, and defeating the first of the mantis lords gives enough of a morale boost to not feel too down when you die against the second and third, which is personally my favorite thing about the fight. really well-designed boss that i can enjoy even while failing, and that's rare for me
I don't know if he said this already but heres a tip I discovered In the second phase where they do the boomerang attack there is a version of the attack where the boomerangs will both collide in the middle then go outwards. If this happens go to the middle and begin healing this will lower your hit box letting the boomerangs sail right over you while you get some time to heal. Nevermind they sail over you anyway.
Took 10 tries and i finally did it, but here are extra tips One of the comments below mentioned you can bounce when they throw a boomerang at you and yes i will confirm that and it helped me a lot The second thing is after you beat the first phase you have a few seconds to heal if you need to (i managed to heal 3 mask) And lastly when it does the ground pound the second phase they stay there longer an. you can accidentally walk into them and they kinda home in on you instead of going down a straight lind
This has probably been said already but when the mantis lords do their dash attack you can hit them as you jump by aiming down, so you can get two hits in on most of their attacks
I'm here to just give some tips, but anyway. There is lifeblood in the top left corner of the room, which will give you a better chance. When the first mantis goes down, its the simplest part of the fight. When she strikes down, dash or dodge to any direction, and slash once or twice. For the move where it charges from the ground, just jump upwards (What other direction would you jump?) and dash towards but over her. When she stops her dash, get a few hits on her if you can. For her boomerang throws, its pretty straight forward. When she's lower on the ledge, get ready to jump. When shes higher, don't jump. It will come back to you though, so that's when you absolutely must jump. After you get the first one, there's two at once. For their move when they slam downwards one after the other, dodge the first one, and dash in the opposite direction of where the first mantis had landed, or you'll get hit. When one dashes and one slams, you just jump the dash and dodge the slam. And for the other way round, its pretty much the same. When the do the boomerang throw where they sort of just chill in the middle of the screen, go to either side of the arena and jump the one coming to you. For the other throw where they go to the sides, go to the middle and then jump the boomerangs closing in on you. I hope this helped. Oh, and if it didn't, GIT GUD. Nah, JK.
Tried this for about an hour now before finally pulling up the guide. I was at a point where I could dodge the first phase, but often misjudged wether the boomerang was high or low. Pair that with not knowing when to attack or heal and you have a very painful and slow death lmao That being said, I think I'll be fine now so thank you!!
the slow ring where you have to stay in the middle, you don't need to fit through that tiny gap. just go to the side and jump into the rings and dash if you need more time.
Hey! I know im a couple years late, but i have a good tip for anyone else who sees this video. If you need to heal, heal at the small gap AFTER you jump over the boomerang on this attack - 1:17 - this will allow you to atleast heal once. You can do the same on the second phase during this attack - 2:37 - good luck knights!

Excuse me what??? Thank you so much
Can also bounce off them when they charge at you.
What the hell. When you do it against the bosses, they look so slow! but when i go there and try it out its so fast! like wth!

Ohoho if you fight them during the pantheon of hallownest you’re in for a treat

Yeah waht the hell they are fast
You get used to it. After fighting them for a bit on the latest update, they felt super slow.

@Koen Lie i already got the sharpened nail but I can't find a pale ore to upgrade it is there a pale ore i can find?

Small note for phase 2 on double boomerangs. The moment you see them jump up there, you have enough time to charge up 1 heal, then stand/dash away after.
Also, audio on video seems to have desynced after a few years now.
Smh I noticed all her patterns in the first try. But my reaction time is so slow that I usually can't walk aside when she do her downward dash attack.
The dream shield is a life saver for this fight,def worth it to go grab it first. It makes his spinning attacks disappear like 40%of the time
Bruh just use baldur shell it’s an shield all around you and can take 2-3 hits instead of one and it gives you back soul if you get hurt during the focus💀
Not sure if anyone will see this but I beat them first try using the dream shield. If the shield touches the mantis projectiles then they disappear.

Try to stay in middle and you can get 2 extra health masks by climbing and breaking the wall on top left in mantis lords room.
_Thank you!_ I had such a hard time seeing when they were gonna blade boomerang low. That always caught me.
I just expected a video of it, I didn't expect a full-blown explanation, thanks so much!
I knew the patterns thanks to the first phase (which I can do no problem) but I couldn't tell what was going on in the second

cussing/ swearing. Cursing is impossible as there is no magic lol
Watched this video several times and studied their attack patterns and equipped the rotating shield and aced it. So happy, thanks!

You can also heal in the first stage when the boomerang goes low-high. There's just enough time...
Without the quick focus charm?
The best tip i can give you: Upgrade you nail. It turns the bossfight from tough to medium, which is a really big change.

The males die after breeding lol
The.... mantis queens?
@@sharkzmuffin mantis ladies?
No they're not. They are clearly male. They are called the MANtis Lords. Not the WAMantis Lords.
MrPooPooJohn that’s the most stupidest reason of why you believe they’re male. Just read the Hunter’s notes :|
idk what i would have done without those tips thank you!
Brother, I haven't reached that bossfight yet and I'm already raging like crazy at the difficulty. Thank you for showing me how hard this game can get. I will uninstall it now and play a more relaxing game or get some work done. You have saved me SO MUCH time! I am grateful for you have shown me the path to enlightenment.
Lol Best reply ever XD
Selin Germann
I understand you.
I am not good with 🎮 but...i have given my best and so far i have died multiple times BUT when i pass that hard step it feels so rewarding!
I have not finished the game yet. But i have the patience and im stubborn as hell 😂 so far is a very addictive game! 😄 And i love to explore all of those hidden areas when I need a break from all my epic fails! 😂
Selin Germann trust me who you get to zote the might the difficulty is fucking insane he does bullshit levels of damage
what boss are you on? pretty sure this is the 3rd major bossfight, either you are on hornet or the false knight
You’re missing out. This is a great game. Isn’t gaming about trying things, dying, getting better, and feeling like you accomplished a difficult obstacle?
If you have less than full, heal right after you jump above the lower boomerang.
i did it on my second try with no help, but holy shit this fight is scary at first lol
Watching this just after I beat Mantis Lords
The only thing I’m mad about in this video is the fact you called them “he” or “him” because they’re female lmao
Anyways nice video, thanks
Another tip since I don’t see it: if you need to heal during the first phase (you may be doomed already then but just in case) then wall jump to near the top and wait for the Mantis Lord to use the boomerang attack. Then you can drop back down to the platform and use one focus.
Edit: You can also use focus during the attack in the second phase where you need to stay in the center. There’s plenty of time even without the quick focus charm.
This is probably my favorite boss battle. I love their attacks. They are not annoying to kill, and they look so menacing!
For it was the hardest early game battle and was so annoying, I hated those Mantis so much and I still hate them.
this fight would have been so much cooler with a god damn bench nearby
Never understood why people had problem with this boss. I thought their pattern was so easy to get used to and beat it in like 3rd try. Spent 3 hours on nightmare king Grimm tho :D.
jalle88 the pattern is easy to read but they move so quickly and one wrong or badly timed move and youre hit
@@flamepool5309 yeah, not to mention it is a long ass boss fight, and they are fucking fast and you don't really have time to heal in second phase
@@sungleong just upgrade your nail and this fight becomes so easy and since it's true that this boss is fast and you have no time to heal, you can spam the soul projectile while the Mantis are on the wall
Curious fact: In my country, mantis are called Pray-to-God,because they seem to be praying
Seriously, I though this fight was easy. I can believe people are actually struggling with it?
They don't have the patience to learn. I think an average gamer needs 3-4 times to pass it. no need for a guide, when I beat them it took 3 tries and I did not even know you could downslash back then!
The thing is that the walk to the boss is too long. If the developers would put a bench next to every boss, then less people would struggle with it. The time it takes to get back to a boss could easily be spent on learning the patterns without any interruption in between.
@@hfcred6754 It takes me like 45 seconds to get back there and thats being extremely generous. I dont think it's too far away at all, unless youre stopping to kill enemies on the way
I wasn’t specifically talking about the Mantis Lords but they have that problem as well. Those 50 seconds or so you take to get to the fight could easily be used to practice patterns, if you’re not a very good player and it takes you around 10 tries to beat then that’s almost 10 minutes of time wasted just walking.
why are you watching this if you find it sooooo "easy"
I really needed this!! I’ve been stuck for days on them and this helped a lot!!
He!? Did you just assume their gender??
Lol they are females.
In the top left of the arena there is a hidden wall which lifeblood in it
tysm the felt so much slower after
i had a heart attack when two of the sisters stood up at the same time
Also it's possible to heal in battle, at least in phase 1. Just heal after dodging his boomerang attack if u were on the same side as him
Hi, thanks for your great advice. I just beat the mantis lords!
Thank you for the help. i beat them on the 2nd try . My tip is just to use soul cather and quick focus, and if you still have noches, use the longnail
aside from the walk through mantis village - which gets irritating after a while - even though im struggling a bit with it, this boss is absolutely my favorite in the game so far. i'm someone who's easily discouraged by failure, but the mantis lords have kept me from getting frustrated because the fight is so *fun*. it's just fast-paced enough to give an adrenaline rush without feeling unfair, and defeating the first of the mantis lords gives enough of a morale boost to not feel too down when you die against the second and third, which is personally my favorite thing about the fight. really well-designed boss that i can enjoy even while failing, and that's rare for me
I don't know if he said this already but heres a tip I discovered
In the second phase where they do the boomerang attack there is a version of the attack where the boomerangs will both collide in the middle then go outwards. If this happens go to the middle and begin healing this will lower your hit box letting the boomerangs sail right over you while you get some time to heal.
Nevermind they sail over you anyway.
Took 10 tries and i finally did it, but here are extra tips
One of the comments below mentioned you can bounce when they throw a boomerang at you and yes i will confirm that and it helped me a lot
The second thing is after you beat the first phase you have a few seconds to heal if you need to (i managed to heal 3 mask)
And lastly when it does the ground pound the second phase they stay there longer an. you can accidentally walk into them and they kinda home in on you instead of going down a straight lind
This has probably been said already but when the mantis lords do their dash attack you can hit them as you jump by aiming down, so you can get two hits in on most of their attacks
Quick tip: you can get a single heart of heal in after dodging the boomerang in the first phase. Not sure about the second one though
I AIN’T GOT NO TIME TO SEE THE ANIMATION HE GONNA BEAT MY ASS
just found this out but you can heal during boomerang attacks if you are correctly positioned! works on both phases
I'm here to just give some tips, but anyway. There is lifeblood in the top left corner of the room, which will give you a better chance. When the first mantis goes down, its the simplest part of the fight. When she strikes down, dash or dodge to any direction, and slash once or twice. For the move where it charges from the ground, just jump upwards (What other direction would you jump?) and dash towards but over her. When she stops her dash, get a few hits on her if you can. For her boomerang throws, its pretty straight forward. When she's lower on the ledge, get ready to jump. When shes higher, don't jump. It will come back to you though, so that's when you absolutely must jump. After you get the first one, there's two at once. For their move when they slam downwards one after the other, dodge the first one, and dash in the opposite direction of where the first mantis had landed, or you'll get hit. When one dashes and one slams, you just jump the dash and dodge the slam. And for the other way round, its pretty much the same. When the do the boomerang throw where they sort of just chill in the middle of the screen, go to either side of the arena and jump the one coming to you. For the other throw where they go to the sides, go to the middle and then jump the boomerangs closing in on you. I hope this helped. Oh, and if it didn't, GIT GUD. Nah, JK.
Thank you!!! Short and very productive guides!!! Great job!!!
i realize now that i am doing this game incredibly out of order because i beat the soul master before these guys
how ? I was so scared entering the soul sanctum for the first time, I went back to face mantis lords.
Tried this for about an hour now before finally pulling up the guide. I was at a point where I could dodge the first phase, but often misjudged wether the boomerang was high or low. Pair that with not knowing when to attack or heal and you have a very painful and slow death lmao
That being said, I think I'll be fine now so thank you!!
the slow ring where you have to stay in the middle, you don't need to fit through that tiny gap. just go to the side and jump into the rings and dash if you need more time.
Also, for the first phases boomerang attack, if he does it on lower and THEN above, jump over it and then you have time to heal 1-2 masks.
The dream shield destroys the boomerangs, can give you extra time to heal.
Hey! I know im a couple years late, but i have a good tip for anyone else who sees this video. If you need to heal, heal at the small gap AFTER you jump over the boomerang on this attack - 1:17 - this will allow you to atleast heal once. You can do the same on the second phase during this attack - 2:37 - good luck knights!
If you wanna feel really badass, when it dashes towards you, jump and attack down, and again when you land. That's feel just great!
Also if you go to the top left corner and hit the wall, you can find a Lifeblood Cocoon.
Dude, I’ve been trying to kill the mantis lords for AGES! After your video? Took me exactly 3 tries. Thanks! Now I can sleep again!
thank you so much I was stuck on the matis lords forever before I found your video
This boss was very difficult but still my favorite one to do
we can use the Defender's Crest which emits heroic odor which damages enemies in our "hero auro that emits from us" skill. this helps in enemy damages
thank you sir, for being good at this game so that I don't have to be
my favourite bosses so far ! so agile so elegant! and the RESPECT you get after ! priceless
