Which Boss Reigns Supreme?! Hollow Knight Fans Have Decided!

[@Vegathron]

Comment your guess on number 1! No cheating and no peeking at other comments. Team Cherry will personally call the winners and tell them the release date. aaand GO!

[@SSundeeFoot._.3]

I guess Pure Vessel

[@TheFlamingSlayer]

Considering pale court is also there, I’d say probably dryya or isma, but without, I’d probably say the hollow knight

[@BoomCatOfficial805]

Mantis Lords or SOB.

[@dingus-presents]

Idk but it better not be pure vessel there the worst after the video no just no pure vessel is the worst boss in gaming as a whole

[@Erock1713]

Grimm?

[@luckyluke31813]

It was super fun voting the tiers for the different bosses and being a part of this. Thank you!

[@kadangamzer]

Loved being a part of this and I expected the top 3 bosses🎉

[@ShadeSibling-INTP]

If I was still in good shape I guarantee you I'd be in the top 10.

[@gabrielvera8988]

I'm kinda surprised that no Pale Court boss managed to get to the top 3, but knowing which ones are there, it's understandable (That 1% in F tier in NKG's poll should be either gitting gud or burning in hell *MEGALOVANIA starts* ) I wonder what will be the next rank, benches? No, too MilesNugget. Characters tier? Based on community polls? Hell yeah, I want that.

[@Gati303]

I would guess it is because not everyone has played them, so even though the ones who did selected S tier, the overall majority of HK playerbase has played the vanilla bosses and they all agree they are God Tier, so 90% of 100 people is more than 90% of 25

[@MaskerHollowKnight]

another banger video from vegathron! also i appreciate the effort put into the animations and also how long this video would take to make from doing a community post everyday, keep it up man!

[@Vegathron]

Thanks my friend! To be honest when we started the polls I had no idea I'd do the vid, but once we got to the end it just seemed like the logical next step! How about you, working on anything new currently? :D

[@oofymcdoofy1936]

Just recently found this channel a week ago, and I'm already hooked to all of your videos. I love how well you interact with your viewers, and I can't wait for your other hollow knight videos down the line.❤

[@Vegathron]

Hey man! super nice of you to say, glad you are enjoying the content!

[@ManlyKiri]

Oh boy! I wish I could have joined these polls! The quality in the editing for this ranking is great! Loved how you showed the bosses animations and with their sound design as well! Beautiful!

[@Roid33]

The definitive tier list! I'm proud to have my bad pun be featured when it doesn't have any relevance at all. The visuals on this one were very good! The entering and exiting animations were nice to see, and reading some comments was a great way to get the general opinions and making people keep watching to see if their comments got in lol, you outdid yourself on this one! Fav vid other than the sharp shadow deep dive

[@Roid33]

(sorry accidentally commented this twice, yt acting weird)

[@Vegathron]

Thanks man glad you enjoyed it! Honestly a tiny glimpse on how game devs feel about "never being finished" and wanting to add more things. I started out with no plan at all but by the end I had to stop myself from taking another week and adding even more effects and details! XD my new rule is when the PC starts lagging out its probably time to finish up 🤣

[@Vegathron]

@@Roid33 twice the engagement for the algorithm, I aint complaining 🤣

[@Lazu__li]

Congrats to the Mantis Lords for being both the best base game boss and the best boss overall

[@STNDD]

No Zote? :( 12:18 HOW THE HELL IS SLY THIS HIGH I HATE THIS BOSS OH MY GOD WHY IN THE HEAVENS IS THE TRIPLE SLASH HITBOX SO GODDAMN BIG

[@Vegathron]

I Told you man if we let standard Zote in it wouldn't be fair to the others! 🤣

[@HERMAAP]

The Zote you fight in the Colloseum of Fools is obviously the best boss in the game

[@Luminous_1700]

I've always been a fan of both uumuu fights because you couldn't just march in and decimate it as fast as possible as you'd do for most other bosses, but you had to watch and wait for the right moment to strike. Godhome Uumuu is a fight that rewarded patience and precision which is what makes it one of my favourite bosses. Also, decisive battle ost 🤩

[@Dahxelb]

Looking at all lowest ranked bosses, people really don't like bosses that requires patience where there's significant stretches of time where you need to just dodge and wait for an opening. ..Which makes sense when you look at the highest ranked bosses, and they all require constant reacting with small opportunities to strike back sprinkled throughout their merciless barrage of attacks.

[@Luminous_1700]

Good observation. I wonder why that is? Perhaps it is because most of the players exposure to the bosses is through the Pantheons, and when you're trying to complete something that is as long as a Pantheon then you'd probably want to get through it as fast as possible.

[@mrblakeboy1420]

heavy blow+grubberfly’s elegy+quick slash makes radiant oblobbles a drag instead of difficult

[@Anonyomus_commenter]

9:37 I genuinely hate GPZ. His attacks are so annoyingly telegraphed- and the fact that he comes after bloody Markoth in P5 makes him even harder as you will probably be on low soul

[@slimehead1391]

2:54 MASKRR!!!

[@MaskerHollowKnight]

lol I didn't even realise I was in this video (I haven't watched yet, I will soon)

[@MaskerHollowKnight]

update: ive watched it now

[@TYsdrawkcaB]

mantis lords or sisters of battle are my guess (because they’re my favourite and apparently that’s not a hot take? which is not common in the games i play) edit: LET’S FUCKING GOOOOO

[@Albinojackrussel]

As a GPZ lover, I absolutely understand why people dont like him, but to me all the things they dont like (the unpredictability in particular) feed into the vibes so much that theyre worth it.

[@boglarkarebay]

I swear the top three are always the same three bosses - proving how amazing they all are. 😮

[@drakath5727]

I was surprised to see mawlek so far down the list. If you've ever fought Mawlek in steel soul or a randomizer, he is easily one of the most fun fights in the entire game. Spacing yourself to be in-between the arc of his projectile while pogoing off his left side but not being too close as to not get hit when he jumps is so rewarding to do right because you can just absolutely smite this boss in record time without it EVER feeling like it was a freebie. Also, putting winged nosk below vengefly king is unforgivable, you're comparing a stock, boring and bland apple to a green apple. They might share some dna but that doesn't mean they're THAT terrible. At least you GET to fight winged nosk, Vengefly King dies before it even gets to attack most of the time unless you're in pantheon 5! Im sorry no, Hollow Knight is not a 6th place boss. It barely even qualifies as a footnote before Radiance, and the boi's constantly just leaving himself vulnerable to being attacked making it a soul magnet and fundamentally impossible to lose as a result. Telegraphs are way too long for how late into the game you fight it, and the length of the fight in any non-dream no more setting is just mind-numbing. THK is just a sandbag. No Pale Lurker honorable mention? sad but understandable. I bet most people forget they exist in the game all things considered. I've always wondered how they would've redesigned Pale Lurker for ascended or radiant, since I imagine TC would've loved to have added a more dynamic Pale Lurker to the game. Imagine what they could've done if they boxed them into an arena with a wall in the middle with spikes on the top, imagine the kind of arena traps that the Pale Lurker could set up to make the floor like lava. Imagine fighting the Pale Lurker on the walls of the arena and how dynamic the fight could've been. It's such a shame that the mini-boss with the highest potential for improvement in the game was relegated to a footnote before the real meat and potatoes of the postgame.

[@kthe13th]

It's kinda weird that pale court mod is considered official dlc

[@trentjamison5380]

if we include mods, Abs Inferno King Grimm is my fav

[@showd6229]

PV is my fav, the thing that helps that is that I beat him on radiant seconds try after beating him on ascended. I think that juste speaks to the quality of his design. Sob is my 2nd fav though

[@paichni3474]

I could never decide on if I loved NKG or PV more, I love both but NKG lasts longer which gives me more time to stress out on radiant which is what I live for. Though honestly as of late Sly has been moving up my rankings, little dude is really fun and when you learn how to deal with his infamous beyblade impression it feels choreographed like NKG and PV.

[@stanislawwitkowicz918]

Pure Vessel deserved the first place.

[@gabrielfelipe820]

Why you guys like Gorb? He just "pew pew pew" and has big brain

[@lokikinnaird2739]

ASCEND WITH GORB

[@savakirilov5263]

People putting Sheo ahead of Sly is crazy to me. Sly has to be a top 3 boss

[@sythrus]

Im assuming that sisters of battle is #1, because that is peak game design

[@sythrus]

Knew it.

[@MassiveMossCharger]

Why am i only at rank 42? 😢

[@Vegathron]

Number 42 in the poll, but number 1 in our hearts.

[@MassiveMossCharger]

@@Vegathron 🥰

[@blimminali9469]

I am LEGITIMATELY sad Hive Knight is so low I agree there are better bosses, but like c'mon, he could've gotten A tier I mean, the design, the lore, the music and the fight itself is really fun, everything is perfect (I love Hive Knight if you couldn't tell) Also... BUZZAAAAAAH!

[@TacoBellBee]

BUZZAAAAAAAH (Thank you for liking me)

[@Thea-Time-13th]

I'm glad the PC bosses did so well;.their fights are both challenging and fair at the same time, with (almost) never the feeling of an unavoidable attack (except Mystic Ze'mer after her frenzy's nail wave into descending slash - that combo still gets me :/) and cool rewards. No surprises though for the top 3; NKG is amazing, PV has a cool fight with great symbolic meaning and SoB is the best boss period

[@Mokahr-i2j]

Do areas next!

[@Dr0pm1cThe5thType]

Pure vessel is probs #1

[@Dr0pm1cThe5thType]

GOD DAMN IT!!!

[@Volosaty_Mujik]

LOL comment on Flukemarm part

[@FelipeMachado-pj6iv]

i didn't even remember that the soul warrior was a boss, i treat him like a mini-boss, also the sound track for the hive knight goes hard

[@Greengrizz]

YAY I GOT INTO A VIDEO

[@1971taks]

Smh you forgot the normal zote fight

[@justagal9215]

My comment made it in the vid, but i forgot i made that comment and wasn't really listening to the names so i just thought, wow that guy is totally right about abs rad, before realizing im the guy who's totally right about abs rad

[@Vegathron]

Lmao that's gold! 🤣

[@dog.b74]

personally pure vessel is number 1

[@Insertnamehereo7]

You forgot zote the mighty the most difficulty boss in game

[@GhostKnightEditz]

My guess is Nightmare King Grimm or Pure Vessel

[@bhardwaajmohabir9147]

I think #1is pure vessel

[@TacoBellBee]

I BEE-Ly Enjoyed this list.

[@Reaper_evan64]

I am glad that nkg made into top three😊

[@DaviStofelEllerdeAndrade]

Voting the first 5 bosses: hm... i need to think the right tier. Voting the last ones: ahg! S tier! It doesn't matter.

The main thing is after phase 1, instead of fighting 2 you fight 3 at once.

Erm actually it’s pronounced Dee En Dee En G Two Ten☝️🤓 but seriously contributing in these poles was fun and having my comment featured was awesome you should do more community things like this (and if you’re wondering I still stand by what I said)
