-
I love the bosses in Hollow Knight.
-
From Hornet 1, to Crystal Guardian, to Hornet
2, to Geoff Keighley, to Hornet 3, I just
-
can’t get enough of these carefully crafted
encounters.
-
But this does raise an important question.
-
What are the top ten Hollow Knight bosses?
-
Well, I’m glad you asked, because I’m
going to tell you all my top ten favorite
-
bosses in Hollow Knight.
-
Now keep in mind, this list is objective.
-
With that out of the way, let’s start the
countdown.
-
Starting off the top of this list is a true
classic, Grey Prince Zote.
-
Located in Bretta’s basement in Dirtmouth
is a shrine to her true love, Zote the Mighty.
-
Dream Nailing this statue will transport the
player to a wacky dream where Grey Prince
-
Zote fights for the honor of his beloved Bretta.
-
While it might not be as serious as some of
the other boss fights, it’s at least a great
-
change of pace from them.
-
But don’t be fooled, this is a tricky boss
fight.
-
Luckily, there is a cool trick you can use
to make it easier.
-
When you get the chance, try hitting Grey
Prince Zote with your nail.
-
Not only will this deal damage to him, but
you’ll also get a little bit of Soul energy
-
too.
-
Neat!
-
Next on our list is a really special boss
known as Grey Prince Zote!
-
After defeating him the first time, you’ll
notice that Zote can be fought a second time!
-
This is a very unique aspect of Grey Prince
Zote, as it seems the developers behind Hollow
-
Knight, Team Cherry, realized that such a
great boss fight should be able to be experienced
-
twice.
-
The only other boss that works like this is
White Defender, but trust me, that boss fight
-
is shit.
-
It’s nowhere near breaking into the top
ten.
-
This next boss on our list is a bit of an
upset, Grey Prince Zote.
-
After defeating him for a second time, you
can actually fight Zote a third time!
-
This is really great because it allows the
player to really develop an appreciation for
-
the mechanics of the fight.
-
For example, look at Grey Prince Zote’s
magnificent, chiseled body.
-
It kinda reminds me of Geoff Keighley.
-
Number seven on our list is Grey Prince Zote.
-
After defeating him three times, Grey Prince
Zote starts doing double damage on all his
-
attacks.
-
This mechanic really adds to the difficulty
of the fight.
-
Which is a nice change of pace from the rest
of Hollow Knight, which is about as difficult
-
as tying my shoes in the morning.
-
Seriously, I hear about these zoomers on TikTok
saying Hollow Knight is a difficult game,
-
and it makes me weep for the future of this
planet.
-
But if this boss fight does give you trouble,
just remember this little trick.
-
When you get the chance, try using your Nail
move on the Grey Prince Zote.
-
Not only will you get a bit of Soul energy,
but you’ll also deal some damage to him
-
as well.
-
Cool!
-
To close out the first half of our list, I
have to give this slot to Grey Prince Zote.
-
This guy is just an all around great boss
fight.
-
Each of his attacks deal three damage, which
really adds to the tension of the fight.
-
And it’s a nice change of pace from some
of the shittier boss fights found in Hollow
-
Knight, so I really appreciate it.
-
Like seriously, look at the White Defender.
-
This mother fucker is whiter the Geoff Keighley
for God’s sake.
-
Every boss fight in this game is amazing,
that’s definitely for sure.
-
But as we get into the top five, it’s time
to separate the boys from the men.
-
That’s why the number five slot goes to
Grey Prince Zote.
-
This boss fight really encapsulates what I
love about Hollow Knight.
-
Big buff men.
-
The number four entry on our list needs no
explanation.
-
This next entry on our list might be a little
controversial.
-
As you know, a channel as big and successful
as mine can’t possibly be run by just one
-
person.
-
That’s why I have a crack team of professionals
proofreading my scripts, managing my social
-
media accounts, creating my video thumbnails,
editing my videos, writing my scripts for
-
me, and various other tasks.
-
It’s worked out very well over the last
few decades.
-
But sometimes we disagree.
-
My team has been pushing me really hard to
give the number three slot on this list to
-
the White Defender.
-
I was hesitant at first.
-
He is a great boss fight, but I thought the
perfect candidate for the number three slot
-
was Grey Prince Zote.
-
But I trust my editors a lot.
-
They have never failed me before.
-
So I decided to try to see things from their
point of view.
-
So I’ve spent the last month trying to get
into the mindset of your average White Defender
-
boss fight fan.
-
So I’ve stopped bathing.
-
I made some adjustments to my diet.
-
I’ve started watching late night TV as a
way to decrease my brain cell count so I become
-
more stupid and forgetful.
-
And I’ve even stopped bathing.
-
And after all that time and effort, I still
have to put Grey Prince Zote at number 3.
-
I think it’s pretty obvious who the top
two entries on this list are going to be.
-
But the real question is, what order are they
going to appear in?
-
I have been agonizing for hours over who would
get which slot, and I know I might piss off
-
some of you in the audience, but I have to
say what I believe is right.
-
That’s why the number two slot has to go
to Grey Prince Zote.
-
This is such an awesome boss.
-
And he’s a great change of pace from the
other bosses found in Hollow Knight.
-
On top of that, he even does nine masks of
damage.
-
That might sound tough, but there’s a little
trick you can do that should make the boss
-
fight easier.
-
Stop being a little bitch.
-
And now, the moment we’ve all been waiting
for.
-
We have finally reached the number one slot
of this list.
-
Who could it possibly be?
-
A boss at this level has to be truly terrifying.
-
It has to be a boss that completely dashes
the hopes and dreams of any Hollow Knight
-
fan for how crushingly brutal they are.
-
And I think we all know who deserves that
title.
-
Geoff Keighley.
