Hey actually you can create a way to heal. If you jump on the walls into the corner, the lord will actually follow you on the opposite side and do the boomerang attack. You can pull of a heal or two if you jump down fast enough
2 quick tips/secrets about the boss You can actually pogo off of the spinning blades and they will disappear. Also, if you get stuck in a situation where you are cornered over the spikes and the mantis Lords are doing the overhead strike, just jump to the side and climb on the walls to avoid it. I don't really see anyone using these technics at all so I thought you should know 🙂
Another tip for being cornered now this requires a late ish game item but using shade cloak allows you to dash through if you have sharp shadow you can get some damage off
Secret pro tip- in the upper left corner there is a breakable wall that leads to a secret room which contains those blue cocoons, that's how you can get extra 2 masks (lives)
I used quick focus to heal fast in between attacks. If you want geo fast, there is a method where you find a near bench and a mini boss. The one I used was the one before you fight the false knight in crossroads. He gives about 45 geo per kill. The bench is super close, so you can beat him, run to the bench and so on for so much geo. Optionally, I used fragile greed charm to get like 9 geo extra per kill. Which really adds up
Wow...you also cover these kinds of precise combat guides? It's better than reading it on plain text across the web. We're actually seeing a frame-by-frame key visuals on how to execute an action efficiently and effectively! Good job, bro!
Thanks for making this! All the other things I could find suggested using things I don't have because I've resolved to not leave the Mantis Village (right after getting the Claw) until I beat them
@@joe_newdawn Thanks! I finally managed to beat them yesterday and completely forgot to use vs (old-nail only mantis lords is hard) a tip for healing when there's only one: you can climb up the wall, wait for her to come up, and drop down. you can get in one heal and still have awhile
Yeah but some people like me are absolute noobs and took 10 deaths fighting False Knight because they have never played a metroidvania and have limited video game experience
@@thatsnailboi1598 can't say there's no people like you, I'm just saying that it's a matter of fact that healing is so much harder than just learning patterns
So far I've died 5 times fighting the Mantis Lords. That's with Long Nail, Quick Focus, and Grub Song. On top of the first nail upgrade and first health upgrade. I've been struggling to read their projectile attacks that's how I died so much
Tips: if you actually just move slightly before the drop you can get 2 hits and in the dash don't use normal hit use vengual spirit it well hit like 2 spirit but you only use one
Simply put the mantis lords are a fight that i find much simpler and more enjoyable to beat by yourself while looking at the differences every attack has and that it shall not need a tutorial.
I just found this video after I killed them if you use dream shield and there is only one left and it is one hit if you die but he runs into dream shield even though you're dead it will count it as a defeat because of dream shield. I didn't even get to see the end animation because of that
@awesineoersib2682: There not being a bench until after this fight is an asshole move by Team Cherry, they should of coded one in the village, maybe two even.
1:56 I just standed on a single spot and just jump when it's about to hit me and it just passed without touching me And on the 2nd one I would just stand on the centre and it split and go away without touching me
OK, after watching this video i decided to give up on the game. I beat Nioh 1, Nioh 2 and lately Elden Ring, but this is impossible for me. And running to that location every time you die. It's such a beautiful game, but there are far too few resting points.
@@joe_newdawn ye I’m already passed the soul master and now I was just starting through the crystal place and I went off and accidentally found the dream nail and fought the first dream boss or whatever and now I’m listening to marissa’s ghost sing
You earn Geo, a bench, easy access to Deepnest from the east side, the Mark of Pride charm, and arguably the best part of it, their respect. Every mantis will bow to you when you pass by and it’s pretty great
In my game they do all kinds of other crazy moves. You don’t show I still beat them, but they were way harder than this goofy sh** For instance, even when they were doing some of those moves, they were doing multiple of them at the same time and then when there was two, there were two doing multiples. It would be several of those things spinning around while they are disappearing and reappearing or one is coming across the screen while the other is divebombing… This makes it look like they do some little choreographed dance and you just simply do this this and this… That ain’t how it works. I guess it get your views on UA-cam though? Anyway, my advice if you’re having trouble is to keep doing it over and over again to learn or get lucky that’s all there is to it flat out this new device is obvious that course you’re gonna jump when he diveBombs you from the side? What ? Is this dude talking about??

Is anyone ever gonna talk about the FIVE MINUTES it takes just to get to these guys
ikr if they added benches before the fight it would be so good. Edit:found out a while ago that there is a hidden bench before the fight
@@B14z3rather where
@@Smearwise look it up its hard to explain
@@B14z3rather but you can only use it after you beat them
@@Wowimsick ohhhh, I didn't realize that because i used the bench after the fight
FINALLY. SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY HELPS. SOMEONE WHO HAS THE SAME HO AND SAME CHARMS AS ME. Thank you sir
Glad it helped you Ryota!
I guess yeah lol

Such a helpful video. I really like how you broke down their moves, slowed down the replay and then put together the entire sequence.

Omg the tips on when to heal help SO MUCH!! Thank you!! Beat them first try after this 😁
That's great! Really glad it helped you :D
Thank you!!! I was struggling so much against them... It was a really cool battle tho
Glad it helped you 😊
Wow...you also cover these kinds of precise combat guides? It's better than reading it on plain text across the web. We're actually seeing a frame-by-frame key visuals on how to execute an action efficiently and effectively! Good job, bro!
AT LONG LAST! Great video man!
Thank you ItsBades
For the dash you can also pogo him while he is dashing
Thanks for making this! All the other things I could find suggested using things I don't have because I've resolved to not leave the Mantis Village (right after getting the Claw) until I beat them
Great! Glad it helped! :)

@@vaultedhollow Well done!! And thanks for the tip, great suggestion!
At first it wasnt working, until i watched to the part of the spinning nails of the two mantis lords, and found out that you can heal at that moment
Nice, that was a really comprehensive video!
Bro i was litterally gonna quit the game until this legend saved me
Tip: When the 2 lords do the dash at you at the same time dodge it from the middle of the arena then do a desolate dive to strike them both
"desolate dive" bruh what I just started the game 💀
@@Re1nhard HAHAHAHSHX I FELT THIS
From my point of view: you don't need to heal, is really easier to just dodge em
Yeah but some people like me are absolute noobs and took 10 deaths fighting False Knight because they have never played a metroidvania and have limited video game experience
@@thatsnailboi1598 can't say there's no people like you, I'm just saying that it's a matter of fact that healing is so much harder than just learning patterns
from my point of view the jedi are evil!
The you truly are lost!
sorry-
@@death-ll9ng shut up bro I have the high ground
So far I've died 5 times fighting the Mantis Lords. That's with Long Nail, Quick Focus, and Grub Song. On top of the first nail upgrade and first health upgrade. I've been struggling to read their projectile attacks that's how I died so much
step 1 skip them. Step 2 grind till pure nail. Step 3 kick there ass.
this actually helped me get mantis lords first try after learning this.
great video bro
Thanks mate
Thanks it really is helping but I still can't win but nice video
Are you having any problem in particular during the fight?
You can heal right before stage 2. I also see you mess up just like me when both mantises decide to drop on you. Also, loving the lo-fi.
Pretty sure the lo-fi music is the soundtrack for them
Nvm lol
Yes thanks for the help
2 things I would suggest: 6th mask prior to fight (highly) and sharpened nail (not as necessary, but helpful)
I have 7 and I still can't beat them.
Tips: if you actually just move slightly before the drop you can get 2 hits and in the dash don't use normal hit use vengual spirit it well hit like 2 spirit but you only use one
Very good 👍
The mantis lords take observation to beat, if you dont observer, it is about luck or death.
Simply put the mantis lords are a fight that i find much simpler and more enjoyable to beat by yourself while looking at the differences every attack has and that it shall not need a tutorial.
it took me 4 hours to beat them good thing I have no life

It took me an hour and a half to beat mantis lords😭😭😭👍
The no chance to heal situation was an asshole move by the devs
Able to heal when they throw the blades on top of each other. Not hard
@awesineoersib2682: There not being a bench until after this fight is an asshole move by Team Cherry, they should of coded one in the village, maybe two even.
@@theashenogre8948it is hard but not impossible
I just used this to learn what attacks they do, hard to pay attention to them when your stressing trying to stay alive
Very helpful, you get a sub 👏🏻
you can dodge to the spikes if you have shade cloak cause even if you get cornered you wont get hit if you dash
Before you fight them there is a secret entrance near the door on the left but y’all who read this will have to figure this out
but how do you get to there
@@sheep4847 simple mantis claws
1:56 I just standed on a single spot and just jump when it's about to hit me and it just passed without touching me
And on the 2nd one I would just stand on the centre and it split and go away without touching me
tip:for charms i use dashmaster and soul catcher its best u can get
extra:baldur shell if u can get
what is your equipment of amulets?
the problem isn't in the boss it's in the run back 😢
Luckily, I already beat them. NYAHEHEHEHEHEHEHEEHEH, NOW TIME TO SCURRY AWAY BEFORE ANY GRUBS FIND THEIR WAY TO ME- OH SHIT, THE MANTIS LORDS ARE BA-
Bruh I accidentally fought them and I still won first try lol
Nah.
DOUBT
They had the most predictable move set ever
for bosses i just try to no hit them since i cant find a spot to heal
OK, after watching this video i decided to give up on the game. I beat Nioh 1, Nioh 2 and lately Elden Ring, but this is impossible for me. And running to that location every time you die. It's such a beautiful game, but there are far too few resting points.
I have a hard time tracking their movements. They are so fast.
Bruh so I got stuck here after farming the two Moss knights for geo and ended up with 6100 geo and now I keep dying and having to get my shade back
You'll get past it if you keep at it! Keep it up!
@@joe_newdawn ye I’m already passed the soul master and now I was just starting through the crystal place and I went off and accidentally found the dream nail and fought the first dream boss or whatever and now I’m listening to marissa’s ghost sing
@@joe_newdawn also I now have 8490 geo
@@chasereno1987 Nice! Keep it up and let me know how you get on! If you get stuck on any bosses, let me know and I can do a guide for it. :)
@@joe_newdawn like an hour after that I lost 10100 geo
I watched the video yet im still stuck on them
i have 200 hours in this game, why am I watching this?
Easy when watching.
Do you actually get anything from beating them
It's not a mandatory fight, but you get access to Deep Nest from an additional location, and also the Mantis Tribe will stop attacking you.
You earn Geo, a bench, easy access to Deepnest from the east side, the Mark of Pride charm, and arguably the best part of it, their respect. Every mantis will bow to you when you pass by and it’s pretty great
It did not help, I am still dying over and over even with more health.
fun fact: the mantis lords are actually girls.
@definitelynotxavi: Then they should have called them Mantis Ladies then.
@@jane1975that’s why they’re also called the sisters of battle
Really dragging the video album aren’t you? Zack Snyder edit your video the black and white slow Mo action scene
