Crystal Heart is an Ability in Hollow Knight. It allows the Knight to fly forward horizontally until colliding with a wall or enemy that is not killed by the dash.

The Mantis Claw is an Ability in Hollow Knight. It allows for clinging to walls and jumping off them.

Once you have the Mantis Claw, you’ll be able to explore the rest of the upper section of Mantis Village, so return to the right and use your new item to wall-jump and dash through the spiky platforming section at the top of Mantis Village to reach a lever which will open a large hole in the main floor of the village.

Mantis Village is a Location in Hollow Knight. Please see Walkthrough for other areas. The Mantis Village is a sub-area in the Fungal Wastes and is also the home of the mantis species and where the Mantis Lords also reside, they are the only tribe who was able to fight off The Infection.

Strategy Writeup. Mantis Lords are probably the quickest boss you’ll encounter, they are an optional boss and the only way to fight them is if you challenge them. Once you choose to do so, the battle will begin with the first Mantis Lords.

It is recommended to initiate this boss fight after at least one Nail upgrade. The Mantis Lords do not initiate battle until the Knight challenges them. At this point, a steel cage prevents escape from the arena, with spiked pits to the left and right of the cage.

Once you’ll defeated the Mantis Lords, you’ll gain the respect of the tribe, and Mantis enemies in the area will no longer attack you. You will also gain access to the Mantis Village treasure stores, accessible from the upper right exit.

These Are The Hardest Bosses In Hollow Knight

• The Collector laughs his way to dominance. The Collector remains one of the most difficult boss battles in Hollow Knight, but also one of the creepiest.
• The Failed Champion doesn’t fail that often.
• Nightmare King Grimm leads the troupe.

The game is poorly paced. There’s not enough new abilities early enough and the items you do find fail to escalate the game or create the burning desire to play on. As the confusing map and game world gets bigger, enthusiasm fades as you wander around aimlessly, dreading backtracking rather than relishing it.

This game is brutal. I just finished white palace and it was crazy. I feel like I spend at least 5 hours on the harder bosses.

The game maintains a deliberately difficult combat system that many players think should allow for easier, or at least customizable, options. Hollow Knight is not an easy game, but it certainly doesn’t require the kind of player persistence of games like Sekiro.

The overall story is pretty sad through out the entire game If you pay attention to the lore. The fact that the point of the whole game was just for you to eventually become the vessel is just sad and didn’t bring a happy ending to the already lost and forgotten Hollownest.

Zote in Deepnest Found stuck in spider webs, presumably having been captured by the beasts of Deepnest. Once again the Knight has the choice to either save him or leave him, though this time leaving him does not result in his death.

Go inside and you will find the Nailsmith here as well. Talk to him and he will thank you for not killing him, after which this achievement will unlock. If you chose to kill the Nailsmith after getting the final upgrade, that would unlock the Purity achievement but lock you out of this achievement.

Once it has been forged, the Nailsmith will step outside his shop and realizes his work has come to an end. He will mention that he would like to see how the perfect nail strikes and asks for you to kill him using the newly forged Pure Nail. Now, it is up to you to either kill him or spare his life.
