Ancient Aspid is Kind of Crazy...

- Defeating Ancient Aspid, a mod created by 4thNoah (artist and project lead), Nickc01 (programming), and Thanatonaut (music and sound effects) to make primal aspids slightly more challenging. Winning gives you a primal aspid ally charm but its attacks will hurt you.
Really sloppy final phase but a win is a win, especially when I'm a bit rusty with Hollow Knight. I tested some of the earlier builds but hadn't seen the final versions until folks had mentioned this was out (a mistake on my part as I intended to test the final build until my WoW stuff with the new phase sucked me in and made me forget altogether). This has definitely come a long way and looks amazing.
My only criticism is that sometimes dodging one attack might make you vulnerable to another which can make things a bit frustrating, especially in the final phase.

goddamn the community gonna make hollow knight 2 before silksong come out
Yessir
They will do it after fan-made Silksong.
After void emperor Grimm anything is possible with this community
They've already made pale court
Hey! Wouldn't say no to more Hollow Knight!
"Winning gives you a primal aspid ally charm but its attacks will hurt you"
Sounds right lol
"My only criticism is that sometimes dodging one attack might make you vulnerable to another which can make things a bit frustrating, especially in the final phase"
yep, that fits Primal Aspid very well, just slightly up a level
friendly fire will not be tolerated
@@nikoskonstantinidis4069 i mean, i could say that the knight got in the way of the friendly aspid, and if the knight is getting in the way of the aspid, then why shouldn't he get damaged?
So then build for evasion
"So what are the heal windows for this boss?"
"...Oh right, I knew we forgot something!"
you don't
The heal windows are shape of unn
if the guy managed to heal then theres a healing window
just heal during the climb phases, you can pull off a heal before it shoots a lser
healings for the weak ;)
…Someone made this in their spare time. Someone sat down, came up with this genius idea, designed the boss with a whole area surrounding it, made actually difficult attacks with actually GOOD platforming sections, and made beautiful custom music to accompany it. And to top it all off, they gave the most genius idea for a charm I’ve ever seen. This is the power of Hollow Knight fans who have too much spare time on their hands!
And for free. God, I love modders.
"Why are you scared? It's just a bug!"
The bug:
the aspid or the knight?
@@danniel2 i was thinking of the aspid but I guess logically it could be either
You try to slap it and it just shadow dashes through it
love how a big chunk of the fight is "you need to go upwards while you are being constantly attacked" that's exactly how regular primal aspids feel very authentic 10/10
If this keeps up, the modders will have finished Silksong before the Team Cherry... This is awesome!
Maybe because there are more than 3 modders?
Na la verdad Silksong es mucho más ambicioso que Hollow Knight y los Mods
Easily the coolest modded boss imo. The background art, animation, and music are all incredibly well done!
This is fanmade boss not a modded one just like the pale court bosses
@@nightmareking8425 dude fanmade means modded boss what are you on
@@tipeanimates837
I think their interpretation of modded boss is preexisting boss that has been modded, not one made from scratch like this one. Just guessing tho
@@timsoup204that's some dumb ass interpretation tho
Ehh the animation aint that good,everything else is great
Fireb0rn needs to make a sequel to “100 unkillable primal aspids in the path of pain” but now with ancient aspids
Temp should suggest this to Fire that would be pretty cool
bro💀
HELL IS REAL
AND IT'S GOING FOR YOU!!!
It breaths and it hungers
Hell is full
@pixelatedmayo if hell is full we gonna to make an expansion for it and make our own SATAN AND THIS WILL BE AN ANCIENT ASPID!!
And is the size of a bug
CrankyTemplar is kind of crazy...
Dang! That was crazy!
Thanks! I hope you're doing well!
@@CrankyTemplar sure and I hope you too! I've been busy all this time but I always see your videos and check the channel haha
Crazy?
I was crazy once.
“Most think that the wyrms were the first creatures birthed into this world. They are all sorely mistaken. For the meager Aspids have been around since time immemorial. They have seen all that this world has to offer. The void itself is merely a puddle compared to the vast ocean of primordial power that they yield. When everything else is gone, the Aspids will still be here.”
They're like a fly version of a cockroach.
"Before this world belonged to the wyrms, it was ours, but the wyrms did not take it from us. It was time that laid us to rest, for while we wielded might beyond equal, we were not eternal. Do you understand now, Little Ghost? The wyrms did not descend upon this world from some far off paradise, they crawled out of their holes to claim the world WE left behind. They feared us. And now... it is time you understood why."
"Legend tells of the Primordial Aspid, who lives deep within this ancient shell of rock and bone. Many claim that The Light is the God of Gods, maybe even the infamous Shade Lord that many hypothesize of. They are all infinitesimal against the Primordial Aspid. Every being wishes to recruit the Primordial Aspid to their cause, whether it be a being of pure light, or pure dark. Even the travelling reapers who collect the remains of long forgotten lands. The Wyrms were second, but Aspidal beings transcend time and space itself. Only one being can successfully overcome the Primordial Aspid. One that wields the Lore Bible."

I feel like the more impatient the HK community gets, the more crazy and downright impressive their mods get. Like, holy crap. This is amazing!
This is a really cool mod, and an interesting charm too. Though my only issue would be to make the “friendly” Aspid slightly different visually speaking from the base version just to make it easier to distinguish.
My main criticism is that the friendly aspid can hurt you.
@@DragonLord555
I think that could be fine as long as it does a good amount of damage to enemies, a sort of risk-reward.
@@MetaFanWingTrue, but i feel like it’s basically a worse grimmchild
Like why would you bring this charm over a charm like grubsong, nailmasters goory or steady body?
In the trailer we saw that you can have more than 1 aspid so I’m hoping you can have some kind of special thing for this charm.
@@DragonLord555
That would be interesting. It would have to do a lot of damage (and/or have a very cheap charm notch requirement) in order to be viable. Increasing the fire speed would sound nice on paper, but that could mess the player up even more.
@@MetaFanWing Yeah
Also btw from what ive seen it only costs 1 charm notch
If anyone can find the way to tame more aspids like in the trailer this charm might be viable but honestly i just feel like this charm is more of a nuisance i really hope the mod creator will give it a buff that the aspid can’t damage the player or a different idea: everytime it hits the player it does the 1 mask damage like always but gives the player some kind of boost like being able to fire 3 aspid shots himself doing a significant amount of damage i just really hope they give this charm a buff it just feels like a hinderance which is sad because the idea is so freaking cool!
You're gonna loveeeee this boss on Ascended.
Definitely will give it a try at some point.
Imagine being on your last mask health, trying to heal, and got killed by your "companion"
On Steel Soul.
what a great boss! cant wait for Any Aspid to be released!
Please🙏🏿don't give them ideas...
The best part of this mod is the OST, really has that "secret hidden superboss" vibe
That's amazing.
The fact, that it's not just an arena, but a whole stage is great. The animations and textures were made with love.
2:38 that is epic!
glad to have you as a tester for this mod.
Stated by the people behind this mod boss Ancient Aspid has like 15 different attacks.
Absolute overkill but in a good way. I love attack variety.
But one big problem still exist if that's the case: Most attacks use the same animations of the boss.
Like Ancient Aspid's spitting attacks.
It can shoot the classic Primal Aspid projectil attack, the lasting blobs on the ground like Nosk or the bombs from Corrupted Kin.
Does anyone else think that this should have been a boss in hollow knight or that this should have been the true final boss???
"This ain't your old man's Hollow Knight boss." So many cool ideas here. Looks like loads of fun!
God I love this community. GGs!
The Soundtrack is absolutely immaculate 👌👌
Honestly this quite accurately portrays how it feels to fight a primal aspid for the first time. Impressive gameplay!
The music hits hard, props to the modding team for that
. . . *My nightmares are real.*
And I hate to say it; this is a well-done boss. Kudos to the mod developers while at the same time cursing them for making this nightmare real.
"That is, uhhh... That's the devil. Guys, when y'all go to hell, that's what you'll see"
- Dawko and his remembered Buff Helpy trauma
Holy shit, this is even better than most of the original bosses XD
Loved the first phase transition so much!!
can we talk about this beautiful background and arena? It looks even more godly that radiance arena
This is actually so insane cus this feels so at home with Hollow Knight - maybe more hectic than usual, but the art and animations feel so at home and none of the attacks feel too outside of stuff already in the game.
this needs to be canon with lore, a primal aspid that was smart, and made a deal with the radiance long ago,one that followed its instincts by choice
The visuals are really well done, maybe a little over done in some aspects, but overall amazing. And congrats Cranky on beating such a foe.
the first part of the fight i thought it was just a really well made mod that i could see as part of the base game and then it got Insane
Wow, that’s insane🔥
Good job!
beautifully designed and the music is great too
I had a dream recently about what silksong would be like, and envisioned some kind of bright green arena with multiple floors and a lot of open space. The creepy thing is that if this boss’s arena was green instead of orange, it would look almost exactly like what I dreamt
우와 할로우 나이트 팬층이 이렇게 깊었구나 하고 보고 있었는데 9일 전이네... 공식 보스 뺨때릴 정도로 퀄리티가 좋은 것 같네요. 브금도 배경도 패턴도 아주 예술적인...
This is the best Hollow Knight mod I've seen, and it's a meme about how annoying Primal Aspids are.
I thought this was really in the game for a moment and was so confused, and fascinated at the same time. Very well made
I know the boss is flashy and all but can we take a glance at the gorgeous Ammonite Aery? So many shells, the prehistoric trilobites and of course the ammonites themselves in the background? Awesome
Oh my god, I think this is my new favourite modded boss!
The only criticism I have is the fact that the background is around the same shade of orange as its attacks, which immensely decreases its readability. A lot of thought and skill clearly went into the design of this boss fight, so I'm left to wonder why this is the case
at this rate, we'll get a fully fledged pale king fight before silksong releases
What a lovely, easy, balanced, fair and totally enjoyable mod.
lmaooo
Seriously tho. Feels like this stuff only gets made for content creators or dudes like OP.
The only things I saw that seemed unfair were the rapid fire lasers during phase 2 and the chase at the start of phase 3 where before you would have learned "hiding behind walls block beams" only for it to not
Those giant ammonial things moving in the background are so cool
I think the vertical ascent is pretty neat. The custom area is also really pretty!
This is actually cool..the arena the moves and the platforms everything looks clean
This is awesome! The only criticism I’d add is that as a player I would need more direction when transitioning between phases. It wasn’t obvious to me that I should go to the right and upwards to continue fighting the boss.
i dont really look at mod content because the few times i do theyre always cool but missing the original feel of the game. but this. if someone told me during my first playthrough this was canon and in the game id have believed them. gameplay, art, animations, music, theme, its a hollow knight boss through and through!
This feels like it could be part of a big dlc. Feels like it would go well in some kind of dlc focused on the hinter guy, like we hunt down some bigger monsters to prove ourselves and get a chance to brawl the big guy.
So cool, so well designed, so in theme, so much artistic value
I really hope Silksong has something like the Ancient Aspid: A giant winged boss that flies around a part of the map.
3:07 "Look into my eyes, were not so different, you and I"
Now where have i heard that🤔
Platforming while battling is honestly so cool
This boss battle is incredible!🤩
Now we need "HK run, but it is only primal aspids" vid.
I love how no one has commented about the geo being exactly 69420 hahaha this was awesome
This and pale court are my favorite HK mods, because they actually added something unique, fun and memorable.
Hollow Knight so much pain and rage, but worth every second truly an epic game in it's own way.
This top notch fan content!
Why are there nautiluses floating in the background?
That looks amazing and really fits the game and how the community views aspids well
This boss really captured the “annoying piece of s***” aspect of the aspids
3 phases of pure pain what a great mod that looks great
big fan of the massive living ammonites in the background
Judging by the dream particles.
U can say that To activate this boss fight You must find a corpse of the anicent aspid and dream nail it
This is a really well made boss. A few minor mistakes or areas where it deviates from Hollow Knights Design rules, The only one I'd call out is the excess orange specks in the background that are not dangerous, One of Hollow Knights key aspects is visual clarity (with 1-2 exceptions) Almost all fights do a great job of signaling whats Dangerous vs What isnt. Parts of this fight muddle that.
Other than that... I'd say like 9.5/10 of making a End Game fight.
I love that beam attack it has, just sounds powerful, like a power washer.
That soundtrack is badass
This looks awesome
That was incredible
I’m gonna have nightmares the primal aspit all ready scarred me enough
Those nautiluses (nautili?) in the background are really cool
It'd be neat to see bosses in Silksong that have changing arenas similar to the Radiance or the Ancient Aspid in this video.
Oh cool baby primal aspid fight and it grows up into a charm when you beat it neat
The only thing missing is a nice death animation but apart from that this is as perfect as it gets. The community of this game is top tier. The fact that they created such an amazing boss fight along with countless others that actually look like it was made by team Cherry is insane.
Respect to whoever made this, looks like it comes straight from Team Cherry. Also, I hate you - ANCIENT FUCKING ASPID? WHY?
This is so well thought out and animated. Wow!
I like how the boss has some moving platform element, I hope silksong has some couple of these bosses.
damn this is what we would like to see in Silksong ! good job
That geo though
the radiance is shaking and crying right now
boss music going wild
Damn thing doesnt even die
It just goes "aight im out"
thats sick bro
When I’m looking at this I’m surprised that there’s no rayman-like bosses! Like where you utilized the surrounding, like slashing ropes the makes a rock kill the boss or run sections! But with the silksong tailers, it looks like we’re gonna have that now! :D
I really admire the effort that went into the AI and art of the fight, but man, moments like 0:46 really make me not want to touch the fight at all when it seems best to get away from him as much as possible to avoid being instantly shotgunned
the vertical climb is honestly very frustrating
This sparks joy
What's really crazy is how high quality Hollow Knight mods have gotten.
bro blud make an fight is one of my favs now
This boss is actually amazing, just wish that it could look more like the design of bosses in the game
Man, the Primal Aspid turned into a DoDonpachi boss.
Is is mindblowingly awesome!
I thought this was just going to be a meme, but this actually looks really good. I want to fight it!
this in radiant mode must be pure hell
"Slightly more challenging"😭
It's only a matter of time before someone mods the Pale King as the final boss of the white palace/Pale Court.
That, and/or the Wyrm shell in ancient bason getting reanimated by the radiant plague in a similar fashion (but in a MUCH larger scale) to Broken Vessel instead of crumbling, whilst hornet occasion swoops in to lend back-up support (in a similar manner to both her pinning down the Hollow Knight so the knight can face the Radiant Light herself, and Quirrel breaking the barrier surrounding Uumuu.
Honestly, the sky... Actually isn't the limit... So go even further beyond!
The real ultimate challenge of Hollow Knight.
Absolute Radiance: “I AM THE STRONGEST BOSS IN THIS GAME!”
Ancient Aspid: *”Bet”*
any radiance 3.0:
This one looks very nice
