Well dodging in souls games is mostly about i-frames and dodging into attacks. Whereas hollow knight it's mostly about well, actually dodging (at least until you get the i-frames on your dash, but you don't actually need it vs most bosses anyway). Also healing is only something you can do when the boss is in a specific animation usually in hollow knight, but he keeps trying it anyway and just keeps getting punished lmao.
They are pretty different in terms of mechanics, I think Zanny is struggling because he didn't perceived yet how to use his movement, down and up attacks more intelligently
Telling Zanny he needs to kill his Shade (The Black Shadow that looks like you) or else he can only fill his soul meter to 2/3rds max & losses all his money: Video 1 Also fun fact: remember that Mantis that shut the door on you before? He won’t do that now, letting you claim the rewards for beating the Mantis Lords.
@@dastvan8002 The waterways are so ass. Everyone complains about deepnest, but at least the bugs there are just tolerable. Those fucking maggot things in the waterways are so unnerving, and they're so goddamn fast too.
Tbf Its gonna be harder and easier as time goes. As a casual player i was this bad too. Unlike me, he does not play hollow knight frequent enough to get used to it.
@thatoneginger6480 All jokes aside, being 100% serious right now: I pretty sure a long time ago Zanny said he has no interest in playing Uncharted. Unfortunately, the Uncharted guy just won't take no for an answer and continue to pester Zanny about it. That's why Zanny is so coy about playing Uncharted now, like saying it's coming or he'll play after this series, etc. I guess it's his way of trying to quell the Uncharted guy's constant requests. To make matters worse, the Uncharted guy has now gained a substantial following, so even if he would to actually quit, his fans would just take up the mantle. Honestly, Zanny is caught in between a rock and a hard place when it comes to the Uncharted guy.
To be honest I think Zanny is doing great for a first playthrough everyone saying he’s bad as if everyone wasn’t raging at the mantis fight. This is a hard game and it’s sad that people think like this.
6:03 knew you could do it, zanny! Congrats on beating the (first) WALL! Hope the feeling for the combat sticks a bit longer so you won't have a bad time everytime someone suggests you play hollow knight again.
A good thing to remember in these fights is to keep it simple and know when to heal. There’s no need to overcomplicate things and there is no need to heal in random places. Congrats on Mantis Lords tho (can’t wait till the pantheon of hallownest or the other bosses)
as a hollow knight veteran its funny seeing someone struggle on mantis lords, but also understand the pain since it took me forever to understand how to beat God Tamer
Although this game gets called souls-like and the core combat is "dodge & hit," it plays out very differently. You really have to focus on the attack patterns, otherwise you get in an endless loop of getting hit, trying to heal, then getting hit again during the heal. (Add in one more for falling on spikes prob from knockback)
I am proud of Zanny for keeping his sanity enough to do that much of Deepnest and make it all the way back to City of Tears lol. I always do Deepnest way later in the game lol Also you should go back to that unexplored spot in the Mantis Village if you haven't already
I just hope Zanny doesn’t quit the game before beating it because it’s honestly such an amazing game!.. also who’s gonna tell him his nails WAY under leveled for the sections he’s arriving in 😂
Honestly, as surprising as it is that after becoming a seasoned soulsborne veteran he still struggles in Hollow Knight, it's to be expected; 2D platformers are a COMPLETELY different wheelhouse to 3D games, they're gonna take him a while to master. So after he's mastered Hollow Knight, throw him into Dead Cells and let's see his growth from there 😈 I was joking about the last part please do not subject this man to any more hell, I'm begging y'all 🙏
I never had much interest in hollow knight. But after watching three zanny’s face the mantis lords in his last video and seeing the pattens in their move set, I bought hollow knight. At the moment I’ve entered the black egg and am fighting the boss inside ( not saying anything else for spoiler reasons). I’ve really enjoyed the experience and hope that three zanny will aswell.
In my Opinion, Soulslike experience doesn't just translate into 2-D platformer Matroid-Vanias. Yall gotta lay off him for like 2 more videos. :D He's lowkey better then last time and getting familiar still. Keep it up Zanny.
do you recall the episode of south park where kyle becomes part of the human centipad? I feel like zanny is kyle and hollow knight is the japanese guy in front, eating asparagus and cuttlefish and like that man I berieve in you
how is he struggling so much I've seen Zanny obliterate Soulsborne bosses that took me ages to beat yet he took so long to beat a boss I beat the same day I found them
zanny may actually have something wrong with him if he beat this many fromsoftware games but he’s discovering the skill curve of hollow knight still
Well that might be mainly because he plays the game once every few months and forgets everything
I struggle way more on hollow knight but I have platinumed every other souls borne and soulslike

It's a learning curve 😅

The White Palace and Path of Pain await this poor man
I dont think hes getting there 😅
@@christoph6992 I don't think so neither. If the platforming kicks his ass now, he's going to give up long before he gets there
I just finished lies of peak and I don't think I'm ready for this game 💀
The Path of Pain was so much fun
@@provaricus627 Stockholm syndrome at its finest (lowkey it was tho)

The rewards are pretty good
At this rate imma have children before this man finishes Hollow Knight
“It would be so funny if we kissed at the end of victory road haha or maybe?”
Have some tonight
He's gonna start downloading the bosses attack patterns
Deepnest is Bug Vietnam. Random pitfalls with punji sticks. And enemies that can appear nearly everywhere. You are at the mercy of deepnest, if any.
He’s going to hate the waterways
@@dastvan8002 The waterways are so ass. Everyone complains about deepnest, but at least the bugs there are just tolerable. Those fucking maggot things in the waterways are so unnerving, and they're so goddamn fast too.
This man being so bad at this game is crazy bcs he’s so good at most others
Idk bout all that
Tbf Its gonna be harder and easier as time goes. As a casual player i was this bad too. Unlike me, he does not play hollow knight frequent enough to get used to it.
He plays souls games
He's not used to really responsive controls
Not judging the use of summons but he does use summons 😂
He's hardcoded to the third dimension, go easy on him.
ah yes the stress from first time being in deepnest without knowing where to go💀
I beat p5 and still have no clue how to do deepnest 💀
Bruh at this rate radiance is gonna be like the second coming of malenia ( I mean normal radiance, absrad is in a whole different reality)
There’s no way bro makes it to radiance. Even if he does he won’t know how to fight her because it’s the “secret” ending
When Zanny plays Hollow Knight we get Silksong news. Today someone asked if Silksong was real and they responded “yes”!
I am highly invested in zanny's struggle and eventual character arc
It’s a Christmas Miracle
*Plot Twist*
Zanny is waiting till January to play Uncharted as the most epic way to start off 2025
Just let it go bro, it's over
@@willfern1096get over it? We must hope!
Didn’t he state in one of his videos that the uncharted series doesn’t interest him? And he said why would he play a game that he doesn’t enjoy?

Yoo saw Hollow Knight and clicked in 0.5s
"No there's two!!"
He doesn't know about the Sisters of Battle💀
He’s not reaching sisters of battle 💀
@@Cabbagehater21 Did he even get the dlc?
@@Prototype-357the DLC is built into the game
To be honest I think Zanny is doing great for a first playthrough everyone saying he’s bad as if everyone wasn’t raging at the mantis fight. This is a hard game and it’s sad that people think like this.
Well, Mantis fight is optional and it unlock endgame area so you can comeback latter. I didnt know the first but I've come back latter anyway.
Nah he sucks because he plays every Brasil New Year
Exactly, just let the man learn the game with his own pace
He's playing with the base nail and no quick focus or thorns of agony, the man deserves a break.
Yesss, don’t you dare drop now, I live for you hollow knight videos!!!!!
6:03 knew you could do it, zanny! Congrats on beating the (first) WALL! Hope the feeling for the combat sticks a bit longer so you won't have a bad time everytime someone suggests you play hollow knight again.
zanny somehow beating the mantis lords with a broken soul vessel
also the climb out of ancient basin had me tense ngl
watching zanny do the climb with no double jump made me feel like a proud father
After watching the souls games runs im amazed hes having such a hard time on this one. I love Hollow Knight
Hollow knight became one of my favorite games when I bought it a year ago. Loved it to bits.
The Mantis are not there to stop you but to test if you're strong (or stubborn) enough to survive what's on the other side of the door.
I stood up and cheered when Zanny beat the Mantis Lords
love seeing zanny come back to this one!!
soon.... you will join the Silksong anticipation community
mantis lords are the best duo boss ive ever played against mostly because its the only one with coordination
4:50 The Mantis Lords are women zanny
"I'm getting spitroasted" -Zanny, 2024
A good thing to remember in these fights is to keep it simple and know when to heal. There’s no need to overcomplicate things and there is no need to heal in random places. Congrats on Mantis Lords tho (can’t wait till the pantheon of hallownest or the other bosses)
Willing to play this but not uncharted, okay zanny
as someone working through the pantheons I feel pride in seeing him get through the mantis lords (that does tend to block people for a bit)
2:37 He is begging to believe
Spectacular video! Nothing beats that feeling of triumph at the mantis lords, right
as a hollow knight veteran its funny seeing someone struggle on mantis lords, but also understand the pain since it took me forever to understand how to beat God Tamer
i am here for many things, many games
hollow knight is one of them
but i am most of all here for the funny, for the zan man himself
Finally Zanny has blessed us with what we’ve crave!
Someone tell him to do City of Tears, Soul Sanctum, then the Crystal Mines before going back to Deepnest
ENGAGE SO ZANYY IS ENCOURAGED TO PLAY MORE
Finally some more HK content from Zanny!
Zanny actually getting good at hollow knight, good to see
10:37 You called
Zanny not going to pick up his shade is psychologically hurting me
Although this game gets called souls-like and the core combat is "dodge & hit," it plays out very differently. You really have to focus on the attack patterns, otherwise you get in an endless loop of getting hit, trying to heal, then getting hit again during the heal. (Add in one more for falling on spikes prob from knockback)
about time we got another hollow knight video, it’s also about time he grasps the game
I’m glad to see Zanny got past the mantis lord.🐱
oh boy, just by seeing this, I can imagine zanny crashing out like he did in armored core if he continues until the dlc. rip in advance, controller.
The mantis lords are probably my favourite fight in the entire game. Only 2 other fights are as memorable to me but even those dont reach this level
Kinda crazy how bro can cook with Elden Ring and Black Myth Wukong but Hollow Knight makes him struggle this much
I am proud of Zanny for keeping his sanity enough to do that much of Deepnest and make it all the way back to City of Tears lol. I always do Deepnest way later in the game lol
Also you should go back to that unexplored spot in the Mantis Village if you haven't already
Watch him fighting the mantis lords makes it look like he has zero pattern recognition
hooooly peak new zanny hollow knight vid
watching this struggle with HK is the true path of pain
Zanny is gonna have a brain aneurysm in the white palace
Deepnest is just Hollow Knight’s version of Vietnam
I actually did not think he would come back to this game
I just hope Zanny doesn’t quit the game before beating it because it’s honestly such an amazing game!.. also who’s gonna tell him his nails WAY under leveled for the sections he’s arriving in 😂
This man not using spells hurts so much. 😂
Watching Zanny struggling a lot playing this game, I am kinda proud of myself to got the platinum trophy.
The 2 longest series of all time
Zanny play hollow knight and one piece
everyone being like "damn he still stuck on this game?" bro if i had a chat full of people giving me bullshit directions 24/7 id be stuck too
Zanny you messed the mantis Lords reward
There are some cool stuff there
Asking for a Shadow of War playthrough day 68.
Been wanting 4 hole weeks to finally get the continuation for this 💀
He's back , back at it agin
At this rate GTA 6 will release before zanny finish hollow knight
I'm playing through Hollow Knight right now, and I can just say that this is very painful to watch.
This convicts me to go back and finish Hollow Knight. And Ori too. Very difficult platformers.
He is whispering lies of truth. In other words copium
At this rate Silksong will have released it before he finishes the game.
How is he beating the game in reverse, went through deepnest and kingdom’s edge before city of tears
bro is not making it to path of pain😭🙏
Honestly, as surprising as it is that after becoming a seasoned soulsborne veteran he still struggles in Hollow Knight, it's to be expected; 2D platformers are a COMPLETELY different wheelhouse to 3D games, they're gonna take him a while to master.
So after he's mastered Hollow Knight, throw him into Dead Cells and let's see his growth from there 😈
I was joking about the last part please do not subject this man to any more hell, I'm begging y'all 🙏
You should definitely play 9 sols at some point, it’s pretty similar to hollow knight and has quickly become one of my favourite indie games lol
I never had much interest in hollow knight. But after watching three zanny’s face the mantis lords in his last video and seeing the pattens in their move set, I bought hollow knight. At the moment I’ve entered the black egg and am fighting the boss inside ( not saying anything else for spoiler reasons). I’ve really enjoyed the experience and hope that three zanny will aswell.
Man I love this game he's playing the games I love. Absolute legend
Zanny going into boss battles with 2 masks and no shade smh
silksong is gonna come out before zanny beats hollow knight, and well i kinda hope it happens?
We need Zanny to finish this.
Bro Zanny uploads a new Hollow Knight and we get Silksong news
I believe there to be a correlation
Wait till he finds out about absolute radiance 💀
In my Opinion, Soulslike experience doesn't just translate into 2-D platformer Matroid-Vanias. Yall gotta lay off him for like 2 more videos. :D He's lowkey better then last time and getting familiar still. Keep it up Zanny.
Santa is real 🗣️🔥🔥🙏🏽
Why did no one tell this man there was lifeblood on the top left of the mantis arena
0:30 WE ARE SO BACCKKK🎉🎉
8:18 Bro you are in for a ride 💀
YES YES YES WE NEED MORE HOLLOW KNIGHT ZANNY
He’s starting to believe
Day 7 of asking zanny to play fallout new vegas
You were tired lol. The games brutal and without mercy
Is this game clicking though?
do you recall the episode of south park where kyle becomes part of the human centipad? I feel like zanny is kyle and hollow knight is the japanese guy in front, eating asparagus and cuttlefish
and like that man I berieve in you
Uh...when did zanny start playing hollow knight? Where is the playlist at cuz i need to watch this whole entire ass playthrough lol
Flying enemies you should slash then quick spell. Kills most
LORD ZANNIUS HAS RETURNED! PRAISE BE THE GRINDISSIAH!
how is he struggling so much
I've seen Zanny obliterate Soulsborne bosses that took me ages to beat yet he took so long to beat a boss I beat the same day I found them
Long live old Zanny
This is so silly and exactly why I subscribed
bro you gotta try nine sols after this
I loved hollow knight but this run back ruined it for me, I dont think I'll ever play this again because of that.
