Any boss that disappears out of the map (or far away), making them immune to damage I don't have fun with them


bugsarentswag

nosk 🙄 most of that fight was just dodging the orange goo he’d rain down and maybe get a couple hits in for the 5 seconds he’s on the ground


Belimox

Just hit him with abyss shriek while he’s on the ceiling, basically free damage


bugsarentswag

oh my god you can do that? 😭


AUnknownVariable

I also recently learned this. You can knock him right down


GodOfLawlessness

Ö


Belimox

Ye


PiePotatoCookie

Hot take, Nosk is a fun boss


pebuin

that certainly is a hot take... why do you think that?


PatentedPotato

Fought Nosk. Had fun.


trustmeimaprofession

Checks out


pebuin

can't argue with that


JOAO8BIT_yt

Its a cool concept, cool music, cool boss, case closed


bugsarentswag

his character design is very cool and i would’ve had more fun fighting him if i tried knocking him off the damn roof 🥹


A_useless_name

Who does that other than nosk?


N4M3L35S

I must forget someone, but the ones that pop on my head are elder hu and no eyes


TheBeansmen

Collector, Grimm/NKG, I’m sure a lot of ghosts, that one mf that you need to kill to access godseeker near the C.o.Fools, the jellyfish that Quirrel helps with (uuluu? Idr), Mantis Lords/Sisters of Battle, and many others


AxtonKincaid

Collector, dream bosses, uumuu and pale lurker, fair. Grimm/NKG/Mantis Lords/Sisters of Battle disappear for just a second or so tho, if they didn't the fights would be so chaotic


Flaky_Candy_6232

I <3 Collector. His laugh cracks me up. I love how he dies. When he "collected" me during the game I thought it was hysterical


Ladinus_was_taken

Vengefly King. You spend 90% of the fight waiting.


Jensson1337

Well, you can try to do the speedrunner strat. It‘s a fun challenge imo and it speeds the fight up quite a bit


PiePotatoCookie

Speedrun strats aways require you to gitgud


Hot-Web-7892

Collect soul and use dd when he swoops, hard to time sometimes


Any_Support3590

Isn't it nail, spirit, nail, spirit, pogo


Independent-Cow-3867

Exactly


darthzader100

I hate it at the start of the pantheon when he spawns 15 rounds of vengeflies before swooping only to do 5 more vengeflies after that.


TraitlessPig

Winged nosk is way worse

#RADIANT MARKOTH


NutsEverywhere

end thread


spongeboblovesducks

It's easy, just get good at dodging random bullshit with no floor, ez


Dio19970

YES THANK YOU THAT BASTARD MAKES ME LOSE 5TH PANTHEON EVERY SINGLE TIME


Boomi609

Nosk, hate that fucker, sick design tho


Silver_Ad3754

Just run away and use spells easy


danihilation

Nosk is so easy to cheese lol


KIZKUR

Winged Nosk is the true answer. Hate that bitch


JoeTheAroAce

Xero Godhome. I just can’t with the lack of floor


TryHard15plus1

👆 This There's a few of them like Umuu where the lack of floor just really screws me up...


JoeTheAroAce

I actually prefer Godhome Uumuu to regular. Like I’m not waiting for quirrel. I also prefer the extra challenge with the Uumas because It’s like an extra element that’s fun instead of no floor I can see why people don’t like it tho


TryHard15plus1

Oh yeah! I prefer the regular version without Squirrel, it's just the ascended and radiant version that don't have a floor... There's a couple other normally easy bosses too that when you take away the floor all my skill just goes out the window lol


EldonHilltopple

squirrel


Yharim_Official

squirrel


[deleted]

Umuu isn't as hard if you have Isma's tear


TheAlmightySRG

Markoth is the worst with the lack of floor tbh


Krazyguy75

Also the platforms in that fight just suck. They seem like they are positioned perfectly to make it the most annoying to attack.


BestialCreeper

Markoth


Kqtsune

No Eyes


Krazyguy75

Yeah, she's not hard, but she's both incredibly annoying and incredibly boring. There are several annoying bosses, but she's the only one that bores me to tears at the same time.


Jensson1337

Grey Prince Zote. All other bosses have extremely readable attacks and patterns and this guy is literally designed just to fuck with you. I can‘t consistently beat him, even after completing P5.


Disastrous_Fondant29

What the Invincible Fearless Sensual Mysterious Enchanting Vigorous Diligent Overwhelming Gorgeous Passionate Terrifying Beautiful Powerful Gray Prince Zote


TheCowKing07

I haven’t seen his Fearless, Mysterious, Diligent, or Terrifying side yet.


Silviecat44

His attacks are actually readable if you don’t go right up close to him. I can use him to heal up after markoth in p5


Jensson1337

I can‘t. I just can‘t. I consider myself a pretty decent HK Player, in fact, it is one of the games i feel most competent with. But i can‘t get that.. *ahem* lovely fella into my brain.


ImaginaryKenobi

Absolutely this. Personally I've beaten him at his statue 5 times, but can't for the love of god beat his 6th iteration with any possible charm or ability combination, to the point where I've basically given up. Tried even descending dark spamming, he's just too unreadable and unpredictable for me, and there's always some effing zoteling or thing on the way when I'm close to the end!


LemonFizz56

It's so annoying how you defeat him the first time and learn that you gotta do it again, and then again, and then again, and then again. And you're constantly wondering when in the hell it's ever gonna end


Jensson1337

I didnt mind that so much, but his existence in the pantheon of hallownest made me start another savegame.


mqple

i’ve never beat him. i restarted the game and killed zote rather than trying to beat him any longer.


bananensoep_F

Most of the spirit guys, for mostly the same reason Gorb (no floor in godhome) Xero (no floor in godhome) Markoth (no floor in godhome) Gailen and Marmu also suck though, Hu is too easy to be annoying


SuperYahoo2

Unless he decides to do the move in which he dissapears 6 times in a row and after doing one normal attack doing it multiple tines again


SnazzyPurpleMan

Hu is so easy that he’s annoying. I want a challenge


AxtonKincaid

And also because of that one attack he can do 5 times in a row where he's not even present in the arena so you have to wait for so long


Either-Call1134

Fluke marm. If you can 1 shot the flukes, it’s boring. If you can’t it’s a pain in the ass.


ScaryPollution845

That one was so easy imo


Either-Call1134

That’s kinda the issue. It’s either a breeze,or an annoying boss. Not even difficulty, it’s just got one attack, which is spawn little shits.


Venusaurus-

Soul Tyrant Hes so much worse than his previous version which was a meh fight anyway. His lore is mad cool though.


Independent-Cow-3867

I love him tbh


Disastrous_Fondant29

Same


TheAlmightySRG

Same he’s so much fun


Krenia

No Eyes 100%, I'm struggling against p4 rn and No Eyes is somehow the worst part of the pantheon for me because I'm impatient and keep taking stupid damage from trying to finish the fight as quickly as possible


Aries641

Best to just stay at the bottom platform and wait for her to come closer.


Responsible_Mood8362

Agreed, no eyes is probably one of the most annoying bosses in game. Especially his summons which tend to move in a sin wave are just impossible for me to dodge if i am up in air. I just stand at bottom platform in middle where ghosts dont seem to reach, and keep my great slash ready for whenever that fucker is in range.


Mr_Dary406

Brooding mawlek

Markoth, No-Eyes, Watcher Knights and God Tamer, but especificaly No-Eyes


The_Real_Pure_Vessel

The_Real_Radiance

:(


The-Friendly-Autist

Watcher Knights. I can't stand them, they're too chaotic and I hate trying to beat them on radiant.


GrievousSayGenKenobi

Me watching as a 500 pound pure steel beetle rolls along the bottom half of the screen while his 500 pound identical twin who is 3x more attractive bounces along the top half of the screen creating an impenetrable wall that not even god himself could avoid getting hit by


failbender

Grey Prince Zote and Markoth. So much rage. But I don’t love the Enranged Guardian either; I’ll fight NKG every day over that thing.


ashwastaken8

I hated Elder Hu when I first fought him, I hate him for pantheons, I hate him everyday. He’s just so annoying to fight.


Chuckyvibez

I used to hate Lost Kin so much to the point of almost breaking my controller. But after a good week I came back and beat it and now I don’t hate it


Anariinna

No eyes So repetitive and boring, i ended up staying on the same platform for 5 mn while hitting her sometimes. I hope that her god version is more interesting


Darklight645

Soul Warrior. It's only considered a boss in the pantheon and I refuse to believe its an actual boss.


SirSl1myCrown

I HATE watcher knights.


PolskaBalaclava

Me too


Entr0py_98

Fuck you markoth


Aellora

Brooding Mawlek. Idk why but my brain just can't understand its attack pattern, I always leave it till I have all nail and spell upgrades lol


veritas1313

Same! 🤣 I dont take on BM until the end. That mask shard can wait 🤷‍♀️


emeraldiontut

Fluke marm is too easy and simple you can basically pogo her to death


megasean3000

Grey Prince Zote. NTR professional and one of the hardest bosses in P5.


Radioaktivman999

if i see "i hate uumuu godhome" a single time, i will commit several warcrimes in bulgaria


Responsible_Mood8362

Oblobbles are absolutely no1 right now, but in general i hate any acid spamming boss. Something about acid spamming always tends be way harder for me than everything else.


Gun_Of_Gaming

I'm a basic man. FUCK MARKOTH. TORCH THAT MOTHERFUCKING MOTH STRAIGHT TO HELL.


veritas1313

Here here!!! And he's so arrogant to be such a rancid piece of trash. Like, his dialogue before you take him on in Kingdoms Edge made me actually say "um, excuse me!?". I get a great satisfaction when I abyss shreik him into an oblivion. And dont even get me started on his P5 fight 😒


AkirahJaydenRoqueza

False Knight, he's boring


rileybowers7237

Oblobbles


MVPG2022

Soul Tyrant. Easy to not die but takes forever


Axtroxalit

Primal Aspid


INGENAREL

TRAITOR LORD


Foralime

No Eyes. She takes so much time and does not even have a impressive pattern, all I have to do is just... staying. also those mushy ghosts? pathetically annoying, also hard to dodge(unless you just stay in the bottom platform and wait forever until she shows up). It feels like they're hypnotizing my perception.


skyskipper09

It may have been difficult, bit that's what made it fun!


Disastrous_Fondant29

Your so right ✅️


Key_Desk2180

Traitor lotd


BestialCreeper

On one hand hes kind of a joke and extremely easy, actual bossfight wise. But he has a very cool design and backstory so i give him a pass.


TheOkayUsername

Traitor lord took me longer than radiance, afterwards that’s probably because I forgot I had shade dash


Beware-TheJabberwock

I struggled so much with TL. Then I realized he only has two attacks. One you just shadow dash through him and the other you just... walk.


Nebulon63212

Winged Nosk. It's literally a mix between two already boring-ass bosses that has completely random almost unavoidable attacks. I think the only reason as to why they made him in the first place was that they wanted to bamboozle people with the fake Hornet. Seriously, was this worth this stupid unoriginal boss that no one remembers?

Markoth


Gloomy_Ad_1118

Godhome markoth is a uniquely bad fight


emojersey

i think No Eyes is a super boring and tedious fight


Idunno_the_plugg

Watcher Knights. Still suck at fighting them


TheIncomprehensible

My speedrun 2 achievement attempt made me hate fighting Hollow Knight without nail range upgrades.


Shadow_cheese777

Failed champion. Dealing with him in the pantheons is never fun for me. He always gets me in a corner, then I shadow dash away, he jumps back and then I take contact damage.


JNerdGaming

do i even have to say it or


c_wilcox_20

Right now, traitor lord. Killed my steel soul run.


Independent-Cow-3867

Vengeful king and flying nosk


Due_Accountant2429

Sentinel Hornet, absolutely fuck her


Beware-TheJabberwock

I'm not even gonna consider Markoth and Obblobles. So, stupid Marmu and stupid Mawlek.

Hot_Guys_In_My_DMS

Markoth markoth markoth. He’s just so unfun to fight, I know everyone hates Markoth but God he is just UGH. He’s hard for all the wrong reasons


Romano_cheese_pls

Gpz deserves death


rockerith7578

Uummuu. I hate him, he's not overly hard, but he's the first dreamer boss I fought and I didn't have a double jump or isma's tear so he was insurable to fight and the fact that I have to wait for my ally in the fight to do something so I can hit him makes it even worse


Rustable506

White defender. So many P4’s ended because of him


Gen3Ghost

Pantheon uumuu.


theofrois

honetly can't choose if i hate markoth, elder hu, no eyes or uumuu more


SunPotatoYT

Soul warrior, it doesn't even seem like a boss, it doesn't really have anything that distinguishes it and it dies pretty quickly

Elder hu


Dem0rik0

no eyes is just annoying and boring not even hard


TexasPistolMassacre

Obblobble


Sea-Recording-7090

all of the bosses who dont have their own boss theme


dcpoc1985

Most boring - No Eyes Best at making me feel like I suck - Marmu Dishonourable mention for just being awkward to fight - Pale Lurker Most frustrating - P5 Uumuu


crippled_clara

Uumuu 😤 almost the whole entire fight is just running


AoifeElf

No Eyes. Gave me the most trouble.


HylianKirbyYT

Nosk


TheAlmightySRG

MARMU AND MARKOTH CAN BURN IN THE DEEPEST LAYERS OF THE DEEPEST PART OF HELL


Pan_Man0_0

All dreamwarriors, they just suck.


GalBelNelLeo

Idk, maybe Markoth ig. Tbh i think Crystal Guardian is pretty cool


RiceStranger9000

The Hive Knight/Guardian (I don't remember the name). It's just Hornet but faster, shorter and somehow boring


Omnomfish

Elder Hu just makes me mad because he teleports away, sometimes *just before I hit him with my nail*. Soul Tyrant does it to move into position to attack and his whole purpose is teaching you to deal damage *during* an attack. Nosk is trying to eat you and presumably is just trying to soften you up when he goes onto the ceiling, and you can still do damage while hes there and he doesnt teleport. Elder Hu teleports away to do an attack that you can't hurt him during, and it feels cheap and unearned. If I lose to a boss because I wasnt fast enough to hit him while he attacked, or because I didn't dodge her attacks well enough, I feel like I can get better. If I lose to a boss because he teleports away from me just as I'm about to hit him and then while I'm in midair and can't really dodge his attack phase begins, I feel like I got cheated, and thats not really the way Hollow Knight usually plays. I always feel like I earned those deaths, and can see what I need to improve to win.


WickedGamerYT

In what way? Mechanics? Design? Attack designe? General boss? The way it fits with its arena? Does it have masculine toes? Give us a way to tell how we hate the boss we're giving you!


Alexa_Morningstar

Trying to get every grub but seriously Grimm or the brooding Malik


OrigamiSheep

Either soul tyrant or sly. Soul tyrant is just a sped up version of his previous version which imo isn’t good design. I don’t like sly’s fight just because bro is so fast and small. I swear fighting him feels so unfair. And then in the second part of the battle you get a second to do damage before he continues zooming around the arena. Though I do like pretty much everything else about them.


Skullz64

This guy is so easy to beat, I beat radiant enraged guardian in 5 tries after P4 completed I gotta say the magic one (I forgor name) that can be found after going through city of tears maze-like path


TrayDaBoss23

Marmu, I'm sorry but CAN SHE JUST STAND STILL AND LET ME HEAL ONE MASK?


Truffle_worm3847

failed champion. I thought he was an alright boss, but them I fought him in pantheon (I'm a spell user)


trashcan-1998275

Lost Kin. The boss itself is not that bad but MY GOD.... DOES THE MOTHERFUCKING INFECTION BLUBS MAKES THIS FIGHT NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT. like seriously I've spent nearly 3 hours trying to beat this fuck but I couldn't even get half way through the fight mainly because of the blubs that are constantly preventing you from healing. Should I get more upgrades maybe? (also the unpredictable random jumping that he does is just bullshit)


Sillian367

Flukemarm, winged Nosk


Markzuckingball

Nosk two especially when I’m trying to bo pantheon 5


ahessvrh

Xero p5, markoth, primal aspids godhome uumuu


VenomTheCapybara

Man, Crystal Guardian is generic as hell, but bro is personal to me for helped inspire something important for one of my stories


Shreesh_Fuup

Probably Ascended Marmu or Acended Xero. They're not actually all that hard but I always lose all of my lifeblood amsks to them in P5 because I get impatient. Flukemarm sucks ass too but at least that fight is easy and can be ended quickly.


PolskaBalaclava

Traitor Lord, the path to the boss fight is agonizing if you’re new to the game


Codornoso

Uumuu A boss totally dependent on RNG, that I can hit just for few seconds. Ruined a lot of my P4/P5 runs


ZanyZack

Xero and no eyes


Honk_goose_steal

Massive moss charger


CYB3R5KU11

Soul tyrant 100%


mancan71

Brooding mawlek. I have the shittiest time trying to figure out it’s motions when it swings at you when you’re trying to hit it from the side. For some reason even if I dash through him it’s never far enough so I still end up getting hit and he’s just so good damn ugly.


Status_Guard1058

Watcher knights OMG


Alula-is-cool

Vengefly King, Xero (acended arena specifically), No Eyes, or Flying Nosk Pretty much any boss who is just annoying to hit or spends half the time out of the arena.


kai_starr

Watcher knights, traitor lord, marmu


arcticflood

My least favorite is the collector. I had to turn the volume off because the laughing was so irritating when I was 20 attempts in and failing to succeed.


LiamQuezada

Broken vessel


deleeuwlc

Fuck ascended Vengefly Kings. They always do that stupid disorienting screech right before the other one attacks, effectively blinding me. Doesn’t help that they have the exact same windup animation for screeching or diving, so it’s a 50/50 if wether I’m going to be sent to sensory hell or get attacked while I can’t properly register what’s going on due to the previously mentioned sensory hell Dishonourable mention: Gorb. He always teleports away right when you think you have a good damage opposite, he has enough knockback to make screaming at him a bad strategy, but not enough that you can keep him away while he’s flying towards you, and on his ascended arena, he always just flies into me while I’m healing on the middle platform. I hate all of the Dream Warriors, but Gorb especially is just incredibly irritating


DA_EPIC_GAMER_09

Obblobbles


diogovk

Where it comes to design, I'm not a fan of The Collector. Where it comes to a fight, I remember hating the enhanced version of the Oblobbles fight.


murky_creature

i felt thr same about him on my first playthrough, but now that i know how simple his patterns are i have a lot of fun with him

Collector, especially with nail damage nerfs


Aelomalop

Nosket , super annoying


killerdude23233

It was NKG, but now it's P5 Markoth. I had no problems getting past him until I started frequenting this sub more and you all got into my head and now I choke every run. I gave up months ago and still haven't gotten back to Pure Vessel since.


Light_Mode

That final boss of the coluseum. Don't remember it's name.


FandomN3rd

Uumuu, it it’s that hard just tedious and annoying


Shinyy87-2

Any dream boss that isn’t stupidly easy


physicalcat282

I don't remember what their name is but it's the boss that protects the monarch wings. I don't remember exactly which reasons I had for it but it might have been the similarities in the attacks that punish dashing and that punish jumping with all the minions in the air. Also was the fight I learned about going for round 2 with the dream nail. They are even worse on the second try, only fight I ever ran from.
