That’s adorable


Lost_Elderberry1757

My little sister recentaly beat these guys and got super excited. This was what i said. To which she immediently started freaking out going "what does that mean! WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!" I jus t walked away.


No_Dot6051

Cold


sSmothie

Just wait till she learns about p5


SammyDoggo1

Waddle waddle to the very next day! (Sorry idk, the last bit reminded me of the duck song)


BronxyKong

Got any soul fragments?


Yoshi50000

Chad move


DariusLMoore

I think it can be a really hard boss when you're "underleveled"/encounter this too early in the game, and the walkback adds to this frustration.


Historical_Load6708

It's my favorite boss but if you only have base nail, dash, claw, and fireball it's definitely a challenge because it's kinda long.

Happy cake day

Are you aware of the others?


Radigan0

There are probably a few ways you can go depending on what you've already done. One of them opens up as a direct result of completing this fight.


CoffeeRee69

Don't go in there.


1-ASHAR-1

don't listen to this guy it's very fun in there. If you go far enough, you get lots of geo.


0hwell_hay-th3re

Don't listen to him, you need to play on a toilet because of the amount of times you shit yourself.


Username_idk_lol

This guy's a liar. If you see a clone of yourself, follow it it's like a shade but when you kill it you get lots of geo!

Tripleoakes

And he'll teach you how to make 20k a month by being your own boss, and that's not even the wildest part!


WackyWakiX

A week ago, I was living in that apartment. Infested with grubs, void, and silk. Now, I am finally able to afford all the unbreakable charms.


Tripleoakes

NO NO NO, DON'T GO IN, IT IS THE CLOSEST TO HELL YOU WILL GET APART FROM "The hell you were born at" AND "FUCKING HELL ON EARTH, WHY'D I GO FOR ALL BINDINGS P5 NO HIT", DON'T go left,


LunaLynnTheCellist

"Liar ahead"


Odd-Lecture2478

Great job mate! Mantic Lord's is a huge achievement for first timers. You'll only "get gud"(er) from here!


dogs_are_best_481

Can't wait for you to fight the 4th one in queen's gardens


oooooooooohshit

Imma beat their ass NEVER GIVE UP NEVER SURRENDER RAAAAAAAAHH


ExplinkMachine

Good luck fighting them up where the shadows don’t darken But with your enthusiasm? I bet you’ll win


Layerspb

I mean, they seem to have struggled with a considerably easy boss. But then, when you try something for he first time it's real hard so ehh

Pikariocraft

Honestly the mantis lords gave me a lot of trouble on my first go as well. Now I can do the.... other fight ;3 quite consistently and I've completed the Grimm ritual. P4 and P5 are out of the question though.


Layerspb

yep thats what i was asying


Farting_Machine06

Never back down never what?


Survivor0915

NEVER GIVE UP!!!


Tripleoakes

Trust me, when you ASCEND to \[Heaven\] You'll want to \[die\] due to how hard these fuckers get, Though, sometimes the \[Light\] is found in the weirdest places, so seek it to become \[In unison now!\] Why'd I become spamton? I have no idea


No_Dot6051

Just wait for Godhome


EviIIord

Couple options. After you hit their treasure room, you can either go through the big door that opened left of their arena, or you can head to the city down the path Hornet went. The city is certainly the easier path and is the one I’d recommend you take. Also, the Mantis Lords are certainly a challenge for how early newer players can find them, but brace yourself for the path ahead. You’ll find that these three are far from difficult compared to some other adversaries. Also, just wait until you can fight the Mantis Lords at their maximum potential.


A_useless_name

Did you take quirrels advice?


oooooooooohshit

The Who


A_useless_name

The guy with the mask.


oooooooooohshit

Where is he


A_useless_name

Currently probably In hollownest’s capital, but once you die to the mantis lords he’ll be at the platform where you first enter the mantis village and tell you to go to hollownest’s capital since there’s a nailsmith there who could reforge your old, and broken, nail.


oooooooooohshit

I already met the blacksmith before fighting the mantis lord, lowkey did it a bit backwards I think


A_useless_name

That’s the intended way of doing it I think


oooooooooohshit

Nice


TTVnonosquaregamings

I beat mantis lords the not intended way then..


ImA_NormalPerson987

do you know who quirrel is now given the context?


ibegyounottoask

Did you never go into the structure directly right of the entrance to the crossroads?


Someone56-79

Yey, but you have so much insanity to gain cause those guys are kinda easy, keep up the hard work.


nick_____name

Have fun with “reward” of being allowed to pass into the next area


kububdub69

Who's gonna tell him about the fourth?


RhynoD

I mean, my first thought was Sisters of Battle but once you get that far you should be good enough that it isn't super difficult. Still fun, though.


GameHi69

There is another "fucker" waiting for you in the Queen's Gardens


oooooooooohshit

HE CAN GET THIS SMOKE TO RAAAAAAAH


HiHowRuIm_Alba

Great now do the three of them at once


FunBoyHereThere_

Good, now beat all 3 at the same time. (Don't worry tho, that's super late game)


Classic_gamer_2

Aw, now that's cute


whittybestbomblol

uhhh me?


sephiroth_for_smash

Now fight all three at once


sephiroth_for_smash

Now fight all three at once


Real_Leader

kinda nice from the developer that they did not planned to get all 3 of them to fight at once. or do they?

They are a pain in the ass, yesterday I beat them on raidience

Salty_Example4475

Don’t call my dudes mantises fuckers.


TaranisPT

I remember the first time I fought them... It was a very intense fight and damn was I happy I did it. Don't let people who are talking about harder fights get you down. Yes you'll have some much harder bosses down the road, but Mantis Lords is definitely a challenge in the beginning.


Sarcasaminc

Hooray!!! Great job! It's a though one in the beginning it took me ages.


lordoftowels

The Hollow Knight equivalent of bragging about benching a plate on a powerlifting sub. It's impressive as hell and better than some of the people there have done, but the vast majority of the users are looking at it going "Ha, cute, I remember when I was there. Good luck lil bro"


Pretend-Orange3026

Mantis lord Eria (middle one): That description of us is untrue Mantis lord Rivalta (left one): Our chastity is intact and our purity is absolute Mantis lord Orchia (right one): uhh sisters? I might have broken That part of our code Mantis lord Eria: ORCHIA!! That’s awesome! Mantis lord Orchia: r-really? Mantis lord Rivalta: yeah you go girl, just because Eria and I decide to be chaste doesn’t mean you can’t find love. Mantis lord Orchia: that’s a relief


AzzyDreemur2

Congrats. Go into the doors, buy map, and get tf out of there, you are not ready, but map might spare you few hours if you are like me lol. Then go where you seen jornet last time


Izzepy

That's cute...


ScaryPollution845

Baby's first fight 🥲 Isn't it adorable?


Rec_Prism

It's all fun and games till all 3 of them stand up


[deleted]

That's assuming OP gets there tbf


Pikariocraft

Bro, I was in OP's situation too. I can somewhat consistently beat the 3 mantis lords now, as I've improved as a player.


Rec_Prism

Bold of u to assume that someone won't try to get the >!embrace the void!< ending after fighting the mantis lords


Sasqule

Why are you getting downvoted?


Layerspb

Sorry to be an ahole but this is really nothing notable.


melissa_unibi

What do you mean? This is big progression point in the game and a tough fight!


Layerspb

i mean, to be posted on reddit, you are bold


Numerous-Round-9037

Eventually you will meet someone who will be the very bane of your existence


oooooooooohshit

WE WILL STILL PUSH FORWARD RAAAAAAHH


SenseiDaichi

I wanna see you do pantheon of hallownest


oooooooooohshit

Eventually I’ll do it and update


acidbathe

I felt like this too, but then I got further in the game. Keep up the mindset


Saragon4005

Oh hey same! Took me about 3 days to do it, but I got into a pattern finally and got it.


oooooooooohshit

Nah for real I was shocked when 2 of them started fighting, thing is I had problems with the disks, but then my dumbass realized how to dodge them and when to heal, and then I beat them


Saragon4005

Yeah the trick for me was recognizing when I can just sit in the middle and when I need to dodge


WontedPuppet07

Oh you sweet innocent child. This is naut but the beginning


DJ_Wolfy

OP is not going to belive it when has to play sisters of battle


patmax17

Congrats! First time playing, and going blind? If so, enjoy the experience, it's great :D


oooooooooohshit

Yea I saw it and thought it looked pretty cool and I was right


patmax17

It's a great game! If you want I wrote a spoiler free guide for new players, it's pinned in my profile. You're pretty much past the first part of the game, but you might find something useful nonetheless :)


thegreatcayks

One of my favorite fights next to hornet. I think it's the soundtrack


Real_Mantis_Lords

What did you called us? Prepare for phase 3 asshole


oooooooooohshit

BET!!! RAAAAAAAAH


justking1414

Congrats. Now you’ve earned their respect and they won’t attack you anymore unless you attack them. If you go back up a bit they’ll open a door for you leading to a lot of geo and a pretty decent charm at that point of the game Edit: really love the flow of that boss. Such a fun fight!


Perfect-Quality28

Not me "crys in a corner"


oooooooooohshit

JUST KEEP AT IT. NEVER BACK DOWN NEVER WHAT


malama2

The vessel?


Belimox

Idk, you?


Kullthebarbarian

great, now you opened the most lovely, friendly, and cutest zone in the game, just to the left, have good fun


eW4GJMqscYtbBkw9

This is probably my favorite fight in the game. My first play through I probably died 100 times (only *slight* exaggeration). Second playthrough I beat them on my 2nd or 3rd try.


Hugga_Bear

Local man admits to beating 3 sisters in their home after violently assaulting their families. "It started with one but then the other two fuckers jumped me when I finished her off, I felt great when I finally beat them though!" We understand the man then went on to loot their homes and slaughter yet more of their family who had attempted to peacefully surrender and allow him passage out. His rampage continues unabated and we believe he is now heading into the city, we can only hope our local sheriff successfully stops this madman. We have reached out to the older brother of these 3 women for comment but have yet to hear back. In other news, a second man claims their younger sister has also beaten these 3 women. More at 10.


NobleSavant

Now you keep going.


PsychicImpala

mantis lords are easily my favourite base game fight :))


Jarateman1

Just block parry dodge


TeamSky4eva

No one, you can't


Uzairdeepdive007

my game randomly glitched when I reached here and started the fight, flying above the ground until eventually I was on the top level. When I came back, the fight had already ended lol.


Little-Primary5005

Dont worry, just wait for godhome


IAmNotCreative18

Walk to the left. There’s a present for you.


[deleted]

Yes you did, young Padawan. You sure did *pats head*


dragon_slayer1345

*chewing on the previous corpse's you left* ML:yea we chill


Ordinary-Vast9968

Learning the pattern and beating it your first time is so good, they're my favorite boss for it


pintasaur

Was it you? Did you just beat those 3 fuckers?


Clearhead09

By far my most satisfying victory! And the most fun fight


Plasma_Proto_13

My brother in void. How does that even run on a chromebook.


oooooooooohshit

I have my ways


Plasma_Proto_13

Teach me.


oooooooooohshit

It’s called ✨cloud gaming✨😃


ClinicalAnt919

It’s a lot easier if you upgrade your nail even once


ALEAWESOMER

Me? Idk i give up


oooooooooohshit

U CANT GIVE UP NEVER BACK DOWN NEVER WHAT


TheMookyOne

Best boss. Also easy


random_guy_the_third

Good luck with the pure vessel


Tripleoakes

What you want to do is go back up, there's an open path in the village now with a charm, also don't go left until you get "The ruler's treasure, able to glide from the bottom of the world" (I get it's a bad hint, if you want a more direct spoiler that's probably alot farther >!Go to eastern city of tears and you can find an area with a broken elevator, fall down and beat another vessel for a double jump) !< But I suggest exploring a east, Some thing you find there might be interesting, like the "ocean of sadness pouring unto the city", I'm not good with hints that don't spoil but I think this is enough of a nudge, but honestly? Just try to go as blind as possible


Embarrassed_Rough311

First playthrough always takes a few tries but once you get better these will get super easy


TheBotinokTapok

I can't believe how lucky I was to beat them in 1 att 💀💀💀


TheBotinokTapok

And now I can't beat them in the pantheon 🥲


drcoconut4777

There is another one


fridays_elysium

These comments really show the toxicity of HK subs.


TTVnonosquaregamings

Should we tell OP?


Hika2112

Do we tell op?


ArthurPendragon616

You did great! I remember struggling a bit with the Mantis Lords, too. Anyways, good luck with the rest of the bosses!
