Pale Champion is Kind of Crazy...

- Defeating Pale Champion, a modded version of Pale Lurker created by Saleh / Hir Ngolwe to make the fight slightly more challenging. Instead of a brief fight for a simple key this is now a harrowing multi-phase fight filled with spikes, buzz saws, and aspids.
Music was done by Zaliant (music at • Pale Champion Theme ), custom animations by Mino, and custom art (such as the Pale Lurker statue in the Hall of Gods) by Mola. Well done to them all!
This is actually a pretty poor kill as once I hit the final phase I dodge really bad (stupid dash at 4:01). The spike platform in the final phase rises when you get hit to make it harder. But I manage to survive and it shows the fight adequately. Definitely worth going back at a later time to try and clean up the final phase for a potential radiant kill.
Lifeblood Core is really handy for this fight as there aren't many better options. Range charms are often a liability. You do have an opportunity to heal 2-4 masks before the final phase (2-3 before the platform collapses and one before the final spikes come up), so LBC itself may not be entirely useful if you can make it to the end with soul to heal.
If you're wanting to try this, it can be installed through the mod installer on the HK Discord modding channel in pinned messages.
The HK Discord link is discordapp.com/invite/hollowk...
Or you can get the modinstaller directly from radiance.host/mods/ModInstall...

Trial of the absolute madlad
Oh no is this comment is also the part of the Trial?
I mean, two Primal Aspids is not a good sign.
I still hate you
I hate you
@PrimalAspid69 edit: I hate you BOTH
I can’t believe someone looked at path of pain and was like “yeah it’s hard but don’t you ever wish you were fighting a boss the entire time?”
They wanted the world to know true pain.
This isn't nearly as hard as the Path of Pain, platforming-wise
Path of pain was hilariously easy.
I really wish you could download mods and hacks onto the switch to make it harder.
@@floofygod Path of pain was "easy" for you!? Do you spend massive chunks of your time just playing video games or are you some kind of superhuman?
@@BenjaminAnderson21 I've played games since I was a kid. Started on the Super Nintendo.
So experience and general intelligence puts me in about the top 5% of any game i play.
I'm really good with physics so things like platforming are very very easy for me.
The hollow knight fandom is just a bunch of masochists trying to find new ways to torture themselves
Yeah pretty much
I was just about to say that
Sounds about right.
Never before have I been so insulted by something I 100% agree with.

@@sofussigvardt2962 people make this mistake a lot , he is probably sick and tired of seeing this particular mistake repeated again and again.
At this point I'm honestly just impressed with how determined this community is to torture itself.
I know right? I love Hollow Knight, one of the best games I've played in my 25 years of gaming, but this is just not fun. I'm too old for the Godmaster DLC. I don't have the time nor energy to take on these insane boss rushes. I barely got through the third Pantheon and I'm done, also I've noticed that the older I get the worse I get at video games, so there's that. I admire the people that get to 112%, I just can't. I'm fine with watching it on TH-cam. Waiting for Silksong.
@@borek92 I feel you , same here but i still look for fights when im bored and i have no game to play and yea getting older making my eyes cant cats motion fast also my reaction time getting bad but i still push myself but for fun ..waiting silksong too i loved hornet since first time i saw her on Hollow Knight will be interesting to play with such acrobatic character

the blobble is just chillin in the background selling hot dogs for the audience
Ye s.
is anybody gonna talk about how this community made their own hollow knight music for a boss, they freaking made a boss with its own moves and own music, man this community is crazy
It's like someone wanted to make bullet hell in a platformer, and decided that the platforms should also be bullets
This, this is exactly it
I mean, there is a game where everything is a bullet/gun... But it's not a platformer
Angry Grievous yea, that’s enter the gungeon. not a platformer as you said, but def a challenging game
@@echowhosthis ok but what about the sequel?
Thank god the gungeon modding community ain't that masochists
If the path of pain became a boss fight
oh no, don't give them the idea
could not have said it better
True
Staz Nguyen not enough saw blades
Just think of a primal aspid boos
First, I was like “oh, this isn’t too bad. It’s just a souped up pale lurker.”
*Then the floor turned to spikes*
then my shell hit the saws
The floor turned to spikes and I was like, "Ok. I wasn't expecting that but I understand the pale lurker would've been too easy by herself with just that."
3 minutes later. O.O
Then 2:11 happened
Don't forget that primal aspid
Then it turned into more spikes
The fact that this is 2 years old and the community hasn’t stopped going more and more insane is honestly terrifying but I’m cool with it.
Me: what’s that oblobble in the background doing?
Pale champion: it’s a surprise tool that will help us later
I get to be the giant rat now cool surprise

@@gogsmilks2223 the path of path was horrible.
GOGSMILKs I would would rather do the pantheon of hallownest than the path of pain. The path of pain only takes a few hours to beat but you can’t take any break in between the torture and then the fear of dying right at the end.
Playing Hollow Knight is like being served an amazing 3 star Michelin chef 5 course meal, only to be given a ginormous pine cone for dessert. You cannot leave the table until all of the pine cone is eaten, which is how many people feel leaving the game without getting all of the achievements.
It’s how I’m gonna feel by the end of my playthrough. I love the game, even though I’m pretty bad at it.
@@Sircreepington9th I'm only missing one achievement, and it's the one for Beating the Pantheon of Hollownest 😭
@@wilfredynunez5263 Good luck.
Isn't this a quote from the completionist?
Ah, another enjoyer of the completionist
I would say that I'm floored by this, but the floor's covered in spikes.
You're spiked by it
im glad this is just as painful to play as it was to animate
Hopefully it wasn't too bad for you. Nice work on it!
Is this the mod developer?
Just as painful to watch as well
This actually makes sense in the lore though, since pale lurker is the hidden champion, and Godseeker brings people back to their prime lol

Honestly, I’m just here loving thru you masters of this game. I got as far as beating the Hollow Knight. I still haven’t been able to beat The Radiance and I’m taking a break. But this shit is other level.
Thanks for your kind words and good luck with the Radiance!
Here’s a tip for radiance spells like abyss shriek work really well to do damage
Me for 95% of the fight: “wtf is with the random off color oblobble?”

When the teacher steps out of class for 5 seconds:
"Hey, you know what would make the Path of Pain better?
A BOSS FIGHT."
*whoever made the PoPPV mod*
This feels like a battle where you can safely take jonis blessing, lifeblood core and unbrekeable heart considering you cant heal anyways lol
The fight would take a little longer without the nail and spell buff but that might just be worth losing, seen as you can't even hit him most of the time either.
@@NatsuJayRockNeo yeah like--he's just not on the screen??? for parts of the fight? how is that fair
@@ellw7830 its more like a scripted fight sorta i suppose
unbreakable heart is good tho
@@NatsuJayRockNeo if you can’t hit him most of the time then wouldn’t that make the nail and spell buffs even more of a necessity?

Hey wouldn’t it be cool if I just put the entirety of the path of pain in a bossfight except the player is screaming even louder?

The ost isn't even enjoyable, unlike the PoP's.
@@adamsatanaels9413 wait... THERE IS MORE THAN ONE POP
the spectating blue oblobble is the best part of this whole thing
That music was so good, also the concept of fighting a Pale Lurker when they were a champion of the colosseum is so cool. The fight looks insane, and them riding in on the Oblobble is hilarious, especially cause I thought it was just a spectator, which might’ve been funnier.
I love how that Obloble is just flying around the crowd at the start of the battle.
“Hey guys do you know where the popcorn’s at?”
It's honestly really distracting from the fight since your automatic response is probably to hit anything that moves
@@prototypeone7534 I aint hitting the adorable jellybean lmao
Hes just a wholesone boyo giving free popcorn and beer
"hot dogs here ,get your hot dogs here"
Path of pain: "I tip my hat to you, one legend to another"
Pale Champion: "Who are you to imply that you are a legend"
“Who are you to imply you are a legend”
That statement sounds so powerful i can’t describe it
“Who are you to call yourself of any power? I have bested you in every way, you are merely just a memory, soon to be forgotten”
Such a raw, powerful energy coming from those lines.
"Who decided that?"

My God, this 4 seconds song is so good, and you still put it on repeat mode, my God, you're a genius.
Fun fact: Originally to get the second half of the white fragment was to fight in this boss fight but due to it being "Too Difficult" they replaced it with the entirety of white palace
Healing? never heard of him, but he sounds pretty lame

He recites the entire game's dialogue and you have to sit through it to win
**Me just distracted by the bug flying in the background and not at all paying attention to the chaotic bloodshed**
I love watching a player nail bounce and avoid aspids for what seems like 7 minutes
I bet that Obbloble in the background is delivering snacks to the audience while you fight this guy. Very well done as always!
this is the best comment ever
"POPCORN, GET YA LIFEBLOOD COVERED POPCORN HERE FOR ONLY 300 GEO!"
"Isn't that a tabuu?"
" DON'T BE QUESTIONING OUR BUISNESS OR WE'LL PUT YOU IN THE BATTLEFIELD"
Fun fact: every godseeker on the seats is the same Godseeker. That being, that sexy Egyptian bug lady on a throne (i am sorry)
Looks like pale king sponsored this fight
He literally sent his champion into the fight
You can tell he sponsored it because of the sawblades
And the spikes
Pale's sawblades - now 50% off
No 99 discount
I feel this is a perfect representation of how the pale lurker was like in their prime
A battle of utter lunacy and chaos
Could hardly be called a fight
I'd expect nothing less from a champion among fools
love the background oblobble. they really bring the whole thing together
Oblobble: aww crap, screw this, I'm out of here.

I love how in the second to last phase you’re just like “where tf did lurker go??” Then she just shows up riding an oblobble. Queen.
The Pale King when he sees all the sawblades: "Thats my girl" *wipes tear from eye*
This is how trying to run from primal aspids feels
I was thinking it was kinda cool at first, but it got a little over the top for my liking..
Oh great job though.
Well, this is without the nuclear missile phase where you have to disarm the bomb inside the oblobble.
But seriously, I can understand that criticism. I had a good bit of fun with this as Pale Champion has a bunch of little things to trip you up that can wear you down before the end.
CrankyTemplar A lot of things just seemed completely unnecessary. Like, putting a row of spikes on top of the row of spikes, more sawblades than the White Palace, and riding an Obblelobble...
It all just seemed a little over the top.

What the actual hell is this fight. That's some pretty incredible modding there. Good job on managing all that. :)
Thanks! Modders are getting more ambitious and that's more fun for all.
Hope all is well for you, good sir!
I'm gonna go ahead and give this guy some personal lore.
"You thought the path of pain was created by the king himself? Of course not! Only true genius could think of such a twisted contraption, or perhaps true insanity. The pale champion is the one who lives up to that description, and he is the true mind behind the path no matter how much the king loves to credit himself... This one is small, and no doubt looks like you may fell him in one swing. That is wrong - so very wrong. It appears he had brought a piece of the path with him...
Um, Pale Lurker/Champion is a she. Actually, judging from the state we find her in the game, your little lore piece and her obsession over Pale King... My perverted mind had a guess about the payment, but my polite nature won't allow me to share it :p
Not so Crazy Tank what points to her gender?
@@bioluminescentpajamas7472 She's called 'her' in her Hunter's Journal entry in the French version, I think.
@@KoruChaos and italian
@@MakenaForest ... I think she was also referred to as she in the English version? (can't remember sorry)
4:01 dang that's my move.
PALE CHAMPION:
mighty god of sawblades
The fact that the boss mainly uses the arena more than actual abilities is cool in a thematic way. Only problem is there's no opritunities to heal thus incentiveising jonis blessing or other lifeblood charms more.
I love how he calls this a “poor kill” like any of us could do it at all
I love how the BPM of the song matches the nail pogoing
If the floor was there for the entire fight it would be fun
Ah yes, looks like a Cuphead boss adapted into HK. My nightmare.
Umm,i think cuphead is easier
Nah, more like a Mario maker level mixed with cup head adapted into hollow knight.
@@guilleschneider8882 Who cares.
May we just respect these yellow aspids? not so annoying like their orange versions
I have never ever beaten this, wow. Bro you did an AMAZING job
Thanks for your kind words!
the buzz saws would make the pale king proud
Rising shadow spikes on spikes, pale Oblobble, pale Prince level of platforming, infinite pogo and of course PALE PRIMAL ASPID.
What a nice mod! Not changing a boss that already exists, but adding a completely new one, such a challenging and well-made! Bravo developers and Cranky Templar, now I know what to do after P5
But this boss (pale lurker) is in the game. It suprised me a lot because I'm at 111% and i've never seen him
Please, do not attempt this at home, it's for your own well being.
Honestly the music is more cursed than anything else
WHAT SADISTIC *_NIGHTMARE SPAWN_* MADE THIS
That’s a pretty cool, boss, but what if we didn’t
Some parts of the soundtrack feel like they aren‘t finished yet, but this still looks like an amazing bossfight!
Yeah there was a lot of miscommunication behind the scenes (not putting all the blame on Saleh here) but I think I definitely could have done better. As far as my first ever time doing it I'm happy with it, just a good learning experience. I appreciate all the feedback that the comments have given me, I am looking forward to the next project.
