I didn’t realize the 12 was the track number in the playlist at first, and my mind jumped to fighting 12 mantis lords at once, which sounds like hell, but I would still like that a lot.
First time I saw this fight I literally thought: "Why don't all three attack at once?" and not even four seconds later the music stopped... Sheer terror ensued
I can just imagine, you beating the crap out of the first mantis lord, the middle, and the small cutscene plays like the 2 will get up then you realize, "Hey, why aren't they getting up?" then the music just plays

I can't wait for the eventual ultra-upgraded version of the fight in which you fight all 3 Sisters of Battle in addition to the Traitor Lord, all while Mantis and Traitor minions flood in from the left and right.
And for every hit you take a Primal Aspid spawns, and each hit after a Primal Aspid is spawned adds to the number of shots the Primal Aspids fire, with no limit whatsoever.
This fight is so much fun. One of the few radiant bosses I actually enjoyed trying to complete. So fast-paced and a good way to practice NEVER TOUCHING THE GROUND
POV: You just beat the 1st Mantis Lord Mantis Lord 1: dies Me: eyyyy, now get down ere you two Mantis Lord 1: gets back up Me: what Mantis Lords 2 and 3 get up Me: w h a t ? Sisters of Battle: D R O S A ! Me: o h n o .
I can’t stress enough how much I absolutely love the remixed music in this game. Each one sounds so awesome. I applaud team cherry for making such a phenomenal masterpiece of a game
Thank you so much Christopher! the videogame industry needs to change the path where the music is going and your soundtrack is a perfect example of what is been missing for the last 15 years! Videogame Masterpiece!
Melody Geeks yeah you just sound like you don't listen to many OSTs lmao, game music has been doing perfectly fine. hollow knight is just an addition to the pantheon of great soundtracks, not the founder
Might honestly be the best fight in the game. So much intensity, but it's also very fair and satisfying. Doing this without taking a hit makes you feel like an absolute god.
Encountering this battle for the first time was one of the most chilling and beautiful experiences I've had in HK. Mantis Lords was already my favorite fight, and it got so much better.
Me beating the first mantis lord: Alright you two, bring it on. Sees the first one getting up. Knuckle crack SISTERS OF BATTLE Me: OH FUCK YEAH GIVE ME SOME
in the fight at the pantheon i did not expect the sisters fight, I was aware of it but not didnt see it coming. As soon as i saw the first mantis stand up again, the music cut out then this music play i was so genuinely afraid as i had no idea what was next. The music is so imposing and intimidating. Good i hadn't felt that in a while on hollow knight
I got recommended one of your videos and when I realized what do you upload I rushed into your channel with the aim of finding this song. It's so fucking good.
This is one of my favorite boss fights in the game Mantis Lords or Sisters of Battle, and others are both Hornet fights, Nightmare King Grimm and Pure Vessel fk Radiance and Absolute Radiance

Going back to the original topic, I adore the idea of battling twelve mantis Lords! Imagine the choreography!

The fluidity of the 2 fights with the mantis lords are something else
I have no idea how you did it, but you made the dance of the first "get good" fight in this game even more beautiful.
I mean Hornet better encapsulates this for me... but you'd be right in that remark as well.
The sudden scream at the very start always makes me jump on my feet as if this was a life or death situation, always manages to get me focused

This is the greatness I got Hollow Knight for. I can't wait to fight the new Mantis Lords while listening to a remix of my favorite song in the game.
This has to be my favorite boss fight in the game.
*Adeptus Sororitas intensifies* But in al seriousness another glorious track for a amazing game.
I actually got the adeptus sororitas reference
It's Adepta Sororitas
The Radiant Sisters of Battle is the most entertaining boss,on a level with NKG and PV
FOR THE EMPER... oh wait... wrong Sisters...
I'm just going through the Pantheon of Hallownest when all of a sudden this happens. I died in seconds.
I still can’t believe how good this game is. This fight was a work of art
The Mantis Lords getting up together is still one the highest moments of Pantheon 5.
Almost dropped my controller.
Easily favourite boss of the game, it's a smooth yet frenetic battle, like a fierce dance. I totally love them
This remix sounds like something from Dark Souls. Especially the added drums and strings
Team cherry was really fortunate hiring chris to do the soundtrack
When you’re attempting the Pantheon of Hallownest and you forget this happens
This is my favourite from the remastered tracks! It feels so... Alive. Keep up the good work!
You really went all out with those tracks, didn`t you? I can`t wait for Gods and Glory!
everybody chilling till the first lord gets up and joins the other 2

Ghost: NANI?!?!
Never before have I fought a boss, not just to beat them, but to just listen to their entire song.
Best fight in the game.
Amen
I like that there's no time to rest for a break. The game is telling you with this "kill them all then do whatever you want"
"K lemme beat the other two
Wait she stood up
SHE STOOD UP"
I’m having a heart attack
Everybody: "Ha! I have all the upgrades. You two can't kill me.

Doing this fight without getting hit is the most satisfying experience I’ve ever had
(aggressively harpsichords)
*Oh, you want to heal?*
First mantis:

Me:

Damn, that chorus makes this 100 times better than the normal one.
Mantis lords! Hypetrain!!!
"wE aRE GoInG tO bEaT YOu uSiNG tHe POweR of TeaMworK"
More like "We're gonna beat you by jumping your a** and not giving you a single moment to heal"
The Mantis Lords were already one of my favorite fights in this game before the Sisters of Battle, then this happened.
FOR THE EMPER... oh wait...
i swear the music is on beat with their attacks
