What i like about this is that it clearly has a lot lf effort put into it. All the animations, so many different variations, multiple phases, that whole grounded section that only gets like 20 seconds. Somone clearly poured dozens of hours into this. And yet the little differences call into sharp relief how good team cherry are at designing the original game. I can see the attacks they wouldn't include, the telegraphs they probably would have emphasized more, and the little design nuggets that they would have smoothed over. This is definitely a modded boss, and its quality only makes that more apparent
Everybody gangsta till prehistoric aspid shows up. The difference? Ancient compared to prehistoric would be like primal aspid compared to ancient aspid.
You want a primal aspid with difficulty dialed up to 11? Hell, why not higher than 11? Look no further than a deluxe, unique encounter with the Ancient Aspid! We at Starving for Silksong Ltd. take no responsibility for loss of sanity or soul in this encounter. Enter at your own risk.
This almost already exists. In Godhome, there's an Ascended fight that has the boss in phase 3 from the start and takes place on *moving platforms* on top of dealing the double damage. It's kinda stupid so I just pretend it doesn't exist, I much prefer the normal fight for its sense of scale and pacing anyway. It just feels and looks far cooler than whatever mess godhome has going on.
Nice job, you nearly did this hitless! Uh, I see their is one comment, but I don't see it... I bet it's yours Miky, I've seen this bug mentioned by Raysworks.
Because it's a hard, hard boss! Victories like this make it look easy, but truth is for a lot of this fight if you aren't handling it exactly right things spiral very quickly out of control. The fight can be mastered to consistency, but it's going to take some time and a deeper understanding of its AI than most HK bosses ask for.
to be real with you most of the mods bosses were ether re-skin on steroids difficulty or something though the pale fanmade DLC is indeed awesome. to excuses on that. i really also want some mods to just bring some pre-alpha removed content, despite i was not there
I Didn't like the mod it doesn't feel like a part of hollow knight, the style , the design, the animation, the gameplay it's not epic like pale court it feels like it was all the time part of the game and we revealed it
This actually emulates the art style of HK very closely. It even takes a lot of cues from HK's music and leitmotifs (very reminescent of the Radiance theme). Pale court, while clearly well put together, doesn't nail HK's art style. The frame rate and even some aspects of the character designs/ lighting are very obviously off. Pale court is nice, but clearly fan made. The frame rate here is closer to HK's framerate, and the design of the Ancient Aspid fits relatively closely with HK's style (it's still a little too complex, but its lighting, coloring, and movement are very close to other HK bosses). This honestly could work as an alternate boss to the Radiance, though you'd have to simplify Ancient Aspid's design and slow down the attack speed, because there isn't enough time for most players to react quickly enough.
@@eldritchbeautyPale court has more hype but I like this better, the reasons are just probably what you said. It’s good to see modders make fire content every once in a while

Abseloute radiance: i'm the hardest and most difficult higher being this realm ever witnessed!
Ancient aspid: *roar*
This is what no silksong does to a man
Also not hearing anything about Metroid Prime 4 too
Team Cherry needs to release Silksong before people crack the game like an egg
Your worst nightmare: A FLIPPING WORSE ASPID THEN PRIMAL
The real radiance
So this is what no silksong does to a person.
Silk song gonna come out after gta 6
@@S1ayer585.Silksong will probably be worth the wait, since there were games which took forever to release but turned out to be Extremely Good
@@ChillOki yeah pretty much
you did well, a lot of patience required to do this on all binding.
This shit looks like it'd take alot of patience to do generally
Everybody gangsta till prehistoric aspid shows up.

Beautifully executed!
Wow this is really good boss and very good gameplay too
Masterfully done
Wonderfully performed!

Can't wait for the Godmaster variant that is the Aspid Gods and it's gonna be like 3 Ancient Aspids all at once

Counterargument
Aspid Ascendant
Basically Ancient Aspid but the devs gave it three heads and a crap ton more lasers
4:47 this is nuts wtf
Awesome!
just first nightmare of player hollow knight
Nice job, you nearly did this hitless!

No they didn't
@@chunkymonkey7983reread the comment ya doofus
Good work!;)
(Why people can beat ancient aspid(omg, i forgot to write it, sorry) with all bindings, but I, cant without?! :'/ )

@@MrTouhourocks okay! I'll try! :)
Nice cawk👍

No he had abyss shriek
@@bishop711711 it was idea not what they did in a video
Imagine this is actually a boss in p5 after NKG
WIAT sis this in the actual game or is it a mod ?
The Real more Hard boss
GG
thats a mod right?
Yes, it’s not in the normal game.
que pro
This bossfight is way better than majority of the original hollow knight bosses
to be real with you most of the mods bosses were ether re-skin on steroids difficulty or something

The boss looks super fun, except it's kinda hard to see some projectiles
What the balls
Bunun gerçek olup olmadığını öğrenmek için oraya gittim ama yoktu😢
It's a mod
