I remember thinking Mawlek was such a hard boss when I first played. Now I can firmly say that Mawlek is more powerful than the Radiance

[@Galaxy_World]

Bruh

[@arenexa9013]

did you do the mawlek skip accidentally?

[@AmIsWillBe_T]

Agreed

[@knightmareatknight777]

Ah, yes. A bug that shoots acid is deadlier than the Final Boss. Thanks for the heads up, gonna fight the Radiance very soon 👀

[@natalya402]

Me: beats the Radiance first try and gets the true ending Also me: struggles to do P1 because of the brooding mawlek

[@GodfatherPuppy]

Therapist: Brooding Mawlek can't hurt you outside of your dreams! Brooding Mawlek:

[@e2b265]

That would be a terrible therapist. They’d make you want to not sleep.

[@Moonstruck_Arrow]

Technically you’re still in a dream… wait a minute, does that mean the boss fights are a dream within a dream??? OH N- *FOGHORN SOUNDS INTENSIFY*

[@marcellofp7465]

As someone who was attacked by Mawlek I can confirm

[@WojtekXD-bx7jb]

Meanwhile the Brooding Mawlek in the crossroads that you need to fight to even unlock the damn thing:

[@hardlyadr2749]

Mawlek: AND TAKE SOME MORE Godseeker: he's already gone Mawlek: I DON'T GIVE A FU-

[@RelyeaGaming]

I’ve never seen an attack make it though. Didn’t think that was a thing

even reyela doesnt knoe 😀

no way relyea 😳😳

[@pekka-zg1wx]

Hello

[@salmon4402]

Anything is possible with Hollow Knight code. It's is a game about bugs after all.

[@Troloze]

There was this time where one of radiance's needles (the ones that go around like a spiral on the first phase) stayed on screen, stuck, and it persisted to the outside of the fight, I then re-entered the fight, it was still there. Fun thing is, I tried pogoing on it, since you know, long cutscene, and died (was trying radiant mode). The game kept screen shaking, it wouldn't stop, I think I died after the screen shake started, but before the game told it to stop, so it never did. Even if I went through the cutscene again, it didn't stop until I reseted the game.

[@NinjaPickle]

Mawlek is the strongest boss in the game, his attacks transcend the fabric of reality.

[@crusher7985]

This is why he has enough power to instakill Tiso.

[@NinjaPickle]

@@crusher7985 He simply just willed Tiso out of existence

[@yeehawtaw2134]

I did something similar where i somehow got an flying ooma into the next boss in p5. No idea how it happened, my best guess is that I hit it offscreen right as it transitioned to the next boss. If it could be done consistently, it maybe could be used to get some damage in on winged nosk early? Not sure, but really weird glitch anyway

[@Spoonsei]

Yeah, I've seen this one before ^^ No idea if it lets you hit nosk early, but I'd be curious to find out

[@wyfyl6993]

@@Spoonsei i don't think so since winged nosk has a rather long cutscene at the beggining, also you have to walk up to it

[@erierierierierie]

@@wyfyl6993 maybe it has a use in p3

[@herothecrow994]

Interesting that even though you were fighting radiant mawlek, the attack did normal damage. I guess attack multipliers must be dependent on the arena, not the actual boss attacks.

[@goddessdeedeebubblesofimag7789]

*glances at enemy randomizers*

[@theecstaticartist]

I wonder what would happen if you actually died in godhome. Would it act like you lost your shade (or steel soul file) or would it just send you back to the godseeker in the junkpit?

[@FungalFury]

@@theecstaticartist this was in godseeker mode too so something weird could have happened

[@theecstaticartist]

@@FungalFury yeah. The game doesn't expect you to die so maybe it would act like it's steel soul and delete your save?

[@mkks4559]

That boss terrorised me 3 times in every encounter until finally I can kill it easily and now it won't have mercy.

[@This_is_milk]

last video: absolutly destroyes abs rad this video: procedes to die at mawlek

[@thalia6583]

mawlek didn't get to kill tiso so it's especially angry

[@_lumos4029]

Mawlek too op How the hell does this even happen lmao

[@Spoonsei]

Mawlek is the true final boss T_T

[@TheRealSuperKirby]

@@Spoonsei mawlek is the final boss of hollow knight : tiso trouble

[@ForwardTokage]

This is what happens when you unequip wayward compass

[@bunnybudd5161]

I got this glitch as well, but with one of Gorb's attacks. Even worse, I couldn't interact with the Gorb statue again until I restarted the game.

[@Spoonsei]

Yeah it wouldn’t let me go back into the Mawlek fight after either

[@TheRealSuperKirby]

Gorb is all powerful.

[@z3_gaming526]

Mawlek: I will hit you now. Spoon: But we are no longer fi- Mawlek: DID I STUTTER?

[@AziDoesQuestionableThings]

I did mawlek super early on my first playthrough with spike pogos. I'm glad to see other people share my pain.

[@saucy2196]

that mawlek sure was brooding

[@Kiier6452]

Well now you have taken damage in the hall of gods so thats neat

[@Spoonsei]

First time for everything hahah

[@geckoanims]

Imagine this happens while fighting the radiant version Just killed you through Space and Time

[@Spoonsei]

This was radiant o.o it just doesn’t kill you outside of the arena for some reason

[@geckoanims]

@@Spoonsei Oh, lol

[@CyanicCore]

Guess its brooding is festering? (In a way, that almost makes sense)

[@Sokobansolver]

"Stop stop they're already dead!"

[@xavierwainwright8799]

Something similar has happened to me before, but in a P5 AB and it was with uumuu instead of the Mawlek. When I hit the jellyfish right when I was going into the transition it came into the Nosket room and hit me (for 2 masks, luckily I survived the fight).

[@niceuser2face611]

“Not even god can save you now”

[@FinShapedFin]

Brooding Mawlek has learned the move teleport

[@cameroncooper5941]

Yeah, strange things happen in that room. I've had the rumbling from AbsRad's first screen transition linger after getting killed.

[@hollowknightfan5938]

I am questioning reality

[@CyanicCore]

Explanation: Mawleks are said to become wild and hostile when apart from their kin. However, this does not mean they cannot find new members. Tiso first attempted to strike down the beast and move forward, but became impressed by its tenacity. Eventually, struggling to overcome Tiso's agility and defensive skill, two of the Mawlek's legs buckled, something that should have been a sign of its doom - but instead, a panting Tiso hung back. From then on, when he would pass through the area, the ant would slay a couple aspids and bring them as food for the new companion. Eventually, he no longer had to fear its scythe-like claws whatsoever. Unfortunately, this could not last. One afternoon, The pair were eating together when sounds of an intrusion rang through the underground. Tiso went off to investigate, but when the Mawlek heard a strange, pitching, battle cry, it felt a neccesity to help. However, just as the creature entered the air with a huge jump, the truth of the situation became chillingly clear. The sound was not from the intruder - but from the dear friend! The Mawlek tried to adjust trajectory, to swerve away, anything, but it was too late. With a horrible *crunch,* Tiso was gone. Furious, the once again furious Mawlek turned to face the intruder who had caused them newfound isolation, but the diminutive white monster slashed away until it too lay still. Worse still, by some twisted work of the powers that be, these worst moments of its life seemed to... repeat. Though for no lack of trying, the Mawlek could never save Tiso from their collison. With every grief-filled reset, the beast became further filled with rage.

[@alessandrocascavillopio8849]

he knows everything

[@lantern2972]

Stop! He's already dead!

[@makar_on]

That means he's out there. Haunting the godseekers

[@washingmach1ne]

Ah, so that's what a haunting looks like

[@gaganzanwar]

Mawlek I get you are angry and all, but you can’t just straight ignore all laws of physics and attack through a different plane of existence

[@dinomite72]

I’m pretty sure this is the plot to shark boy and lava girl

[@erierierierierie]

i got a similar ish thing when i was fighting rad soul tyrant for the first time and i was missing a mask in HoG. caused some weird invisibility glitches too

[@twiddle10000]

There’s another similar bug where for some reason Absolute Radiance’s nail things from that one attack where it shoots them out in a circle 3 times get stuck and stay even after you die and reenter the fight.

[@QuirrelSquad]

This the only way possible to get hurt in godhome

[@theecstaticartist]

I remember one time i was speedrunning absrad and i died to one of absrad's dream nails, but when i went to fight absrad again i saw a floating dream nail in the middle of the arena that screwed up my speedrun attempt

[@Banana_D]

Yeah, this has happened to me once with Markoth, one of his spear nail things just flew across the screen from the bottom left...

[@bryankocian2866]

now its possible to die in godhome central area

[@linkfiedproductions2246]

Brooding Mawlek is harder than Radiance, change my mind

[@jackdina5353]

My guess is that those projectiles were spawned at the frame perfect time to where the game already ran whatever method despawns all projectiles. Lag coulda caused it too. Might be an obvious statement, but I like looking at the technical stuffs.

[@jerrytrout8343]

Wait does that mean we can kill ourselves in godhome in godmaster mode

[@sp4cet1me17]

I dont like things going through me

[@iskda1585]

THIS SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME ONCE I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE it was with gorb though

[@AsuSH]

Now I wonder what happens if you lose all the mask in godhome

[@Taypokemon]

You’d die

[@chri-k]

@@Taypokemon but the question was ( indirectly ), would the game incorrectly handle the death?

[@Taypokemon]

@@chri-k most likely it would send you to a bench

@@Taypokemon I'm curious about the knight losing their shell or being teleported to a bench or having a "dream defeat" and spawning somewhere

If you think that was interesting, I played hollow Knight and console and when I died to Abs Rad her swords would spawn in the hall of gods.

[@Spoonsei]

If you manage to die in godhome it puts you in the junk pit (even on a godseeker file)

[@cardboardleaf7971]

@@Spoonsei Thats awesome! So, could you (somehow) die in a Godseeker file, and then beat the game as if it were a regular run or does it "bug" out of you try to leave the junk pit?

It’s a weird buggy middle ground, it allows you to collect things like charm notches (even though you already have them) to get more than the usual 11 maximum
