One thing you didn't mention is that if you walk past the lords and let them close the door, you can wall jump using the door into the top left corner of the room to reach a lifeblood cocoon that is hidden behind a breakable wall, it can be very helpful during the fight :D
I am really surprised and humbled by how many people came to watch this video, when they didn't need it, just to show support. THANK YOU! Sisters of Battle tutorial will be coming next week. Hope it helps someone out there.
If anyone is struggling to beat them, i found a pretty good heal based charm combo. I used quick focus and stallward shell so that i could heal masks mid fight without getting hit again in the process. With quick focus, youll be able to heal twice as fast than usual. And combined with stallward, you can heal immediately after getting hit while also tanking another hit without taking damage.
Mantis lords is probably one of the more interesting bosses in my opinion. Based on your play style it can be very easy ( like how it was for me ) or it can be super difficult. Its a boss that teaches you timing and how to adapt to certain situations, which is a really useful thing to know for future bosses like Grimm/Nightmare King Grimm. If my opinion this fits in as more of a tutorial boss like false knight except its the complete opposite of that fight in which over there you would only be slashing wildly at him without care due to his slow nature and can be taken out quickly and easily. Here you can't really do that and need to be more patient and focus on countering and dodging. Finding the right spot on where to attack and weaving around their attacks. Making it one of the best bosses in my opinion. And its just really fun.
@@prestonhammonds4946 dont sweat it dude you got this its all just an easy to time puzzle. dont let them get you in a corner i like to keep moving around the center of the stage so in always ready to react.
Currently on 20 tries after watching this video. I can't beat the boss, but I'll keep trying till I do 😊 thank for the tutorial it has helped me dodge more easily
This tutorial is great! In fact, all of the walkthroughs on this channel are extremely helpful. I beat the mantis lords first try with this help of this. Thank you so much!
Even though this is early game stuff and I already did this it’s still really fun to watch you do it. Also if you are stuck on any other boses the UA-cam channel “perpetual noob” helps out a lot, But this was a great tutorial.
Ok so I didn't notice this boss the first time, and am coming back to it after getting, howling wraiths, shade soul, descending dark, crystal heart, monarch wings, claw, dash, with 7 masks, 1 extra vessel, and a level 2 upgraded nail. Nice. Can you imagine how fast will I beat them?
@@RelyeaGaming Yea I beat them in 2 tries. And speaking of pantheons, I'm sitting at a bench just outside them, going to try the first one out for the first time!
I loved how the normal mantises stopped hitting you. I was going to go to deep nest i was ready to fight a mantis and she did nothing i was confused but then i got it
I don’t even know why I watch these when I’ve beaten the game 112% and even done sisters of battle without charms what is wrong with me Thanks anyway I enjoyed this game a lot more thanks to these guides
Me, using old nail and just got mantis claw: "Ooo, what's this?" Enters that zone *Dies* Returns to mantis village Sees Quirrel Quirrel: "You may want to upgrade your nail...." Me: haha, nope. Dies more times
@@RelyeaGaming heya man, I went back because I didn't have a full day to explore the City of Tears, and I managed to finish the Mantis Lords with the Old Nail and like 6 masks. It did take me more time and two nights in a row to defeat the Mantis Lords. I used the Shaman charm which makes the spells hit harder, but there wasn't much time to cast except during the low boomerang attacks during the 1st phase. 2nd phase was tough luck and I kept dying there on my second night taking on the lords.
I remember hearing stories about these bosses I left them to the end game, by that point I had pure nail all spells and nearly all charms. Do not do what I did if not it will feel like a "Hollow" victory. Seriously though don't do what I did listen to Relyea his strategy will make you feel like its earned.
Hey relyea if you didn't see my reply yesterday I'll tell you one more time on Monday I made it to absolute radiance in the pantheon of hallownest charms used thorns of agony, unbreakable heart, quick focus, baldur shell and unbreakable strength on Tuesday I beat her in the hall of gods charms i used unbreakable strength quick focus Mark of pride and shape of unn
I opened that switch at the beginning of the game, and I thought it just opened that door that'll let you out, but it made a huge sound. Turns out it did THAT.
Here’s how to fight it condensed into a few sentences : only attack during the drop down and nail charge use quick slash to get more hits and quick focus for more healing opportunities ph2 only attack during the charge attack then use same strat for the last mantis lord you won’t be able to heal during phase 2 you can heal when there are only 1 mantis during the drop attack and when the whirlwind is going backwards
I just watched you slide through that stupid death maze while i was stuck there for 20 minutes because of that stupid pole that looked like a wall. thank you
If you weren’t a thing I would’ve 100% never beat the game Edit: can’t wait for the next randomizer run. Also how can I become a member I would love to see all the monthly updates.
Well today I continued my journey. Got back the lost shade and searched for exit from city of tears. I found cornifer finally and a stag station nearby. Also payed for the lift. I fought mantis lords couple of times, failed mainly because I had no time to heal, and the stupid disks always got in my way and I didn't knew what to do. At the end I got it and beat them and got the mark of pride charm. Then I bought tons of charms from salubra and got something like 4 mask shards, which got me to 6 heath and 2 shards. Then I found brooding mawlek and this dude is tough. It just spits orange blobs all over one area and when I barely make it to the other one he does the same thing there too. And if I try to heal he jumps on me...
Just checked and you were right. Not sure how that could have gotten there. Well, I guess I save videos to my "watch later" playlist a lot. Maybe I saved his video for later and clicked the wrong playlist. Thanks again for the heads up!
Hey Raylea. You should do a ranking of all 46 bosses but instead of easiest to hardest you should do your least favorite to your absolute favorite. You would definitely have to really think about this one XD. Please lol
@@RelyeaGaming If not you can add it to your arsenal later for if you run out of ideas. If you do post the video I will rank my order in the comments XD
@@RelyeaGaming In Hollow knight. After 233 hours in the course of a year of blood, keyboard smashingXD-just a little-, hand smashing, screeching and sweat I have FINALLY unlocked the Absolute Radiance...The hardest boss in hollow knight history.. took 42 bosses in a row at there very very best defeated and four pantheons before that mastered and every boss ascended to obtain and many many bosses to master. After three hours of pure hell upon unlocking her I beat the boss and mastered her and in total defeated absolute radiance 4 times. Game wise this is my greatest achievement of all time cause not only does it take multiple hundreds of hours to master and get as far as this but to fight 42 bosses each stronger then the last in a row just to UNLOCK the bastard AND to defeat her four times XD. SIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I beat her 4 times in the first 3 hours. I know your can do it toO!! :D I will be rooting for you. on the final faze dash and wing jump from platform to platform and the orbs will hit the platforms and break. I used Unbreakable strength❂ ❂❂ Unbreakable Heart❂ ❂ Spell twister❂ ❂ Grub song❂ shaman stone❂ ❂ ❂ In this fight abyss shriek is your best friend and also a lot of luck on where she goes in the 3rd faze. good luck !!!!! I hope they have something like this in silksong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i just did it right now, thank you so much, i subscribed to to your chanel and your video are so helpful, my hand are shaking because of this boss fight 😂
one thign i would add - when they throw blades they have 2 options to do it. in long arc or in short arc, they were doign only long arc. in short arc u can just stand in middle and u can't behitted ;d * ( short arc is hwen the blades first stay in middle then go to sides. long arc is when they go to eirht side then too middle . ) anyways good guide
Bruh I Thought that lever just opened that door and was like "why did I go here just to open a door so I can go back?" and then I left the village, just now after getting the dream sword thing I realised mantis lords were earlier in the game, gonna go back and fight them
Relyea, what happens if you try yo get shade soul without vengeful Spirit? It is a cool question: You need Desolate Dive to get into the crystallised mound and use a howling wraith to get abyss shriek, but not to it!
@@RelyeaGaming Not yet! I haven't started the Godmaster DLC but I plan on doing it soon :) I'm excited to fight them! Right now I'm doing the tedious task that is grinding geo to update my fragile charms 😴
The two things i really have trouble with are how fast the lords are and their dash move its hard to react also when they throw their hat i always just its likc a random reaction and then i get hit Edit: i passed the dash attack but the hat one is still bad and how fast they are and its hard trying to heal with them trying to hit you all the time Edit 2: i got pass it ez the second stage isn’t hard its just the double flying hat attack it is a pain lol Edit 3:i always beat the first stage now the second stage is faster i noticed the double hat attack isn’t hard innthe second stage becuz its slow now i only have trouble with their double slam attack i always move when their still their the boss is getting easier each day i just have to practice more Edot 4 last edit: i did it at 6:57 today i beat the mantis lords u was stuck for a while but i did it
I've learned pretty painfully. Do not fight them with glowing womb, defenders crest, and spore shroom combo. Little fuckers fly right into them. And cover them in some fungi. That does damage to them. But also compleatly Covers them so you cant tell what attack there about to do. Would not reccomend on smaller and mid size bosses
I went to the fight with the weaversong charm and when I was about to beat them first try I died but my minions beat them right after I died. Minions can do great things
I am slowly going through them all I think. If you need a quick answer search the Hollow Knight Wiki page for the second pantheon. That will give you a list of bosses and from there you can find which you have never encountered
Lol you have so many upgrades for this fight! I have 5 masks, regular dash, and upgraded my nail once. So I should just wait until I'm fully equipped to fight them 🤔😅🙃
They're meant to be an early game boss fight you definitely don't need all the upgrades. It'll be the same as he did it in the video it'll just take you more hits. He didn't use any spells in the video and don't think he took much damage if any at all so the only upgrade he took advantage of is his nail doing more damage. I think he dashed through them once but he definitely didn't rely on that ability.
I love how when you defeat the first one, she goes back to her seat and goes like “...stupid...knight...stupid...siblings...”
lol, I was thinking the same thing.
Omg yea that’s so funny
One thing you didn't mention is that if you walk past the lords and let them close the door, you can wall jump using the door into the top left corner of the room to reach a lifeblood cocoon that is hidden behind a breakable wall, it can be very helpful during the fight :D

Gwen Bollinger man, knowing this after trying 40 times is nice
thank you

Just got it first try with one mask left using the lifeblood.. you’re a hero
I love having the mantises bow to you after you beat this boss

You also don't kill hornet or dung defeneder
Mantis lords is probably one of the more interesting bosses in my opinion. Based on your play style it can be very easy ( like how it was for me ) or it can be super difficult.

I liked this boss a lot too. I have a nail build strategy and it worked well
@@RelyeaGaming what was the strategy
That's why I have stage 3 of grimmkin
Dude these guys are no joke for me. Iv died at least 15 times. I think I’m panicking when I get flawlessly to the twin fight. I’m so damn close!

Mantis lords are a fun fight, once you get in a rhythm you feel like a god.
I totally agree
This boss took me 6 trys but it's one of my favorites once you learn how they attack it becomes pretty easy
It is a fun one for sure
like all the game it's important to learn attack
@Kartik Manogar You can skip it and come back to it later.
Got it for ps plus and havnt beat her still on my around 10th try.

I all ready defeated the mantis lords but its relyea video so i,ll watch it anyway great video👍👍👍
A few days ago I figured out how to beat absolute radiance with some speedrun strats that I've seen. I finally beat him on ascended. It feels so good.
WELL DONE! that is huge. I still need to beat AR. I am taking a little break
Even though this is early game stuff and I already did this it’s still really fun to watch you do it. Also if you are stuck on any other boses the UA-cam channel “perpetual noob” helps out a lot, But this was a great tutorial.
I love the perpetual noob. Such a great channel
Been stuck on the Mantis Lords for a while now, and I must say you make it look so easy! Thanks for the tips!
Thank you for posting these. I’ve probably watched 8 of your videos the past few days. I’m new to HK and you’ve been a lifeline, thank you!
Thank you so much man! I followed your guide and I beat the mantis lords without taking damage!! 😆
Probably also worth pointing out that you are using an upgraded nail. Takes longer with the old nail.

Will be MUCH easier. But fighting then in the pantheons is more fun

Very good video in all respects! I like the Mantis Lords because once you get the rhythm, you feel like you are God among Gods!
this boss has really easy tells which is nice
maybe with sisters it's mroe true
goodness thank you for showing me that. had no clue about that ground opening up! lol
I loved how the normal mantises stopped hitting you. I was going to go to deep nest i was ready to fight a mantis and she did nothing i was confused but then i got it

I beat this boss first try , you just need to know their movements.
ahhhhh you make the boss battle look so easy >_< i've tried half a dozen times just to get past the first dude.
Maybe you are too early and need some upgrades to your nail or health
Watched this video and beat the mantis lords on the first try with quick slash, sprintmaster, dashmaster, and longnail
great fight but the walk to them if you die really takes me out of it
Relyea, what happens if you try yo get shade soul without vengeful Spirit? It is a cool question: You need Desolate Dive to get into the crystallised mound and use a howling wraith to get abyss shriek, but not to it!
Great question... I never tried!
I will have to try it out and make a video
Don't you need vengeful spirit to kill the elder baldur that blocks your way
You need randomizer mod and use cheat clip: on to defeat Elder baldur's
8 months and only one like (not mine). My idea made a video and just one flipping like. I am indignated.

@@RelyeaGaming Not yet! I haven't started the Godmaster DLC but I plan on doing it soon :) I'm excited to fight them! Right now I'm doing the tedious task that is grinding geo to update my fragile charms 😴
Done this already but still going on vid to support you. Woot
The support is greatly appreciated!
Samesies I'll never not support a relyea vid
I clicked on this vid because I knew reylea was a trustworthy source of information
Basically for this fight u have to basically dodge and counter everything at a quick pace, with sisters of battle it’s that but unpredictable
Sistes of battle just require very quick reaction times. they have the same tells
Relyea I know but sometimes u don’t get the greatest luck of there attacks so u get hit, but ya it requires lighting quick reflexes
All the Hornet fights trained me for this lol.
All it took was about 50+ deaths to her and these guys were easy.
Ok I’ll go try it again!
One of the best bosses to play against and fun too
The only one that didnt get a ♥ or a comment for relya for now...
only because it is brand new!
I enjoy it a lot
Relyea I really hope you beat absolute radiance man much love and good luck :)
I need 20+ hits to kill a mantis lol
What charms did you use for the battle or what is recommended for this fight?
Long nail and shaman stone would help. You really don’t need much but a nail upgrade or two is the most helpful
The two things i really have trouble with are how fast the lords are and their dash move its hard to react also when they throw their hat i always just its likc a random reaction and then i get hit
Edit: i passed the dash attack but the hat one is still bad and how fast they are and its hard trying to heal with them trying to hit you all the time
Edit 2: i got pass it ez the second stage isn’t hard its just the double flying hat attack it is a pain lol
Edit 3:i always beat the first stage now the second stage is faster i noticed the double hat attack isn’t hard innthe second stage becuz its slow now i only have trouble with their double slam attack i always move when their still their the boss is getting easier each day i just have to practice more
Edot 4 last edit: i did it at 6:57 today i beat the mantis lords u was stuck for a while but i did it
For the first mantis I always use the soul fireball thingy (I forgot the name) when it's on the wall
I've learned pretty painfully. Do not fight them with glowing womb, defenders crest, and spore shroom combo.
Little fuckers fly right into them. And cover them in some fungi. That does damage to them. But also compleatly Covers them so you cant tell what attack there about to do.
Would not reccomend on smaller and mid size bosses
I went to the fight with the weaversong charm and when I was about to beat them first try I died but my minions beat them right after I died. Minions can do great things
Lowkey watching this after I just beat radiance
😁
Relyea what is more important unbreakable charms or getting my last pale ore for pure nail?
pale ore IMO
Can’t wait for sisters of battle next week
It is already recorded, Just need to edit
Sweet
Thanks!
You are welcome
What charms would you say are best for the mantis lords?
You really don’t need much. Long nail, soul catcher or shaman stone are early charms that help a lot
Love this boss!
I think The sisters of battle is better for the speed but this is great too!
Both are considerably fun to fight, ur tutorials are clear as always!
Once you know the pattern you good to go
Can you please make more videos about these hidden bosses and where to find them. Cuz pantheon on hollownest 2 is still locked for me :(
I am slowly going through them all I think. If you need a quick answer search the Hollow Knight Wiki page for the second pantheon. That will give you a list of bosses and from there you can find which you have never encountered
You make it look so easy
Its not my first time is all
Thanks alot
step 1: learn all those cool moves
Lol you have so many upgrades for this fight! I have 5 masks, regular dash, and upgraded my nail once. So I should just wait until I'm fully equipped to fight them 🤔😅🙃
I normally don’t for this fight but I didn’t do it on this account yet. Everything still holds true
You can do the fight now
They're meant to be an early game boss fight you definitely don't need all the upgrades. It'll be the same as he did it in the video it'll just take you more hits. He didn't use any spells in the video and don't think he took much damage if any at all so the only upgrade he took advantage of is his nail doing more damage. I think he dashed through them once but he definitely didn't rely on that ability.
Couple questions.. how are you so strong, have so much health, and a double jump?!
Thank you your cool 😎
I’m about to try and beat the Boss right now. Wish me luck
Good luck! I believe in you.
Let me know how it turned out
Relyea it took me forever! But the Mantis bow down to me now 😎
did you use the full upgraded nail because i only have the first upgrade and its near impossible
