Hollow Knight - Sisters of Battle (Radiant Difficulty, Nail Only, No Damage)

Defeating the Sisters of Battle on Radiant difficulty in the Hall of Gods for the Godmaster DLC. Radiant difficulty increases the boss health and some minor tweaks, plus you die in one hit.
This is the new version of Mantis Lords unlocked when you face them in the fifth pantheon. It's crazy fast and fun, though I was quite a bit sloppy with attacking.

Sisters of Battle is a perfect example of beauty in chaos.. there is something so mesmerizing about watching all 3 of them and you dancing around them

This was a fight I looked forward to doing with my old nail file just to have all three live as long as possible. The start of the fight is so much fun with all the dodging.

@VanguardJester 5 жыл бұрын

I would adore watching an old nail fight of this. In fact, there are many fights I would love to watch like that. kinda a shame there isn't a joke charm or something that would minimize your damage dramatically. maybe call it "Fool's dream" who knows, maybe they can make a mod for it? maybe there could be a mod that gives you a broken nail that can't be upgraded and it only does 1 damage? I find the concept hilarious personally!

At first you fight one lord, she teach you the basics of the fight and when you finally get comfortable, the real fight begin, no new elements to the fight, but now you have to find the exploitable window to their attacks while one of them actively protect that said window forcing you to to improvise and be quick on your feets

Truly one of the best boss battles out there. It seems like it should be too unfair and chaotic, but once you pick up on the pattern (clearly and expressively telegraphed in the animation and sound), you can recognize it in your peripheral vision while you focus on the immediate threat. It’s also timed in a way that one attack will never interfere with your ability to escape another.
