Chapter 50 Under the high black dome

During this journey, the little knight continued to die, and was constantly cut off and reborn. He embarked on the journey again and defeated the boss that he originally thought was impossible to defeat in this life.

Open a new map and listen to the stories told by the newly encountered bugs, or take a break on a bench in Ditmouth and listen to Zote's "fifty-seven commandments". He picked up the bone nails again and embarked on the journey.

During the journey, players also crossed the fungus wasteland full of fungal spores, and the dim yellow spores filled the entire wasteland.

 Under the Fungus Land, everyone came to the Mantis Village.

 Every mantis guard in Mantis Village is a brave and skilled warrior. At the end of Mantis Village, everyone also saw the three lords of Mantis.

When the first video of the Hollow Knight player fighting the Mantis Lord was uploaded, it immediately caused a huge stir on the Internet.

 Obviously, an absolute novice persuaded him to quit the game, but it attracted countless players to re-enter the game.

When he came from above and came under the three mantis thrones, the little knight faced the three mantis lords high up and raised his head slightly.

　　It pulled out the slender bone nail from behind, and the sharp sound that broke through the air mixed with the solemn sound of the wind.

 After playing the entire Hollow Knight, you will find that there are only two scenes where the Knight pulls out his bone nails.

 Once was when the three mantises were fighting, and the other time was when fighting Captain Green.

The changes of Lord Mantis are great. When the little knight comes, he wakes up from his sleeping throne, and then stands up straight and shows the utmost respect when he pulls out the bone nails to challenge. These details allow players to feel the magnanimity and magnanimity of Mantis as a fighting clan. glory.

 As soon as the knight pulled out the bone nail and the mantis lord stood up, the BGM sounded, and at that moment everyone felt their cells trembling.

 The player who recorded the video wrote a short copy,

He said, "When fighting against the three mantises, he used your failures again and again to tell you that you are terrible, but at the same time he also told you that only by becoming stronger can you survive in this seemingly benign underground world." ’

 The chair after failure is very far away. After resurrection, you have to walk the road to Mantis Village again every time.

 But players are still looking forward to every battle,

Three Mantis' moves are very regular and precise.

 You know what kind of attack they will make as soon as you start, and you immediately understand how to deal with it (brain).

It's very much like the masters in martial arts novels exchanging moves, one move at a time.

　　The moth wing cloak cuts through the air, the shadows condense again, the mantis spikes spin in the air, the battle sisters flash and sprint, the emperor's wings spread and vibrate, the bone nails collide with the spikes...

With the solemn and exciting background music, no matter how hard the battle is, it is impossible to stop. This is the essence of the skills of the three sisters to defend their dignity, fighting to the end in the rhythm!

Three Mantis's attacks are on-point. After you find the rhythm by listening to the music, the battle can even become like a music game.

 You will also get an achievement after defeating the Mantis Lord.

【Respect】

 After defeating the three mantises, they will stand up on their chairs and pay respect to us. Even when we return to the Mantis Village, all the mantis warriors will not actively attack the knight and show respect.

 The entire Mantis Village will treat you with respect and will no longer attack the protagonist. Sometimes "affording to lose" is also a kind of pride. The entire Mantis Village is a warrior who takes pride as their creed.

The Mantis Village was only played in the early and mid-term. After experiencing the chaos and madness of countless Hallownest creatures, the Mantis clan really made people feel respected as the achievement said.

The fighting nation that is always fanatical and unruly has finally become one of the few lives in Hallownest that can make people feel the light of reason.

Beneath the video, a player also gave his own comment.

“After fighting passionately to the end, I won the respect of the mantises. The golden door on the left opened. I thought what was waiting for me was the treasure that the mantises had collected for many years. But...it turned out that...it was the most nerve-wracking place in the whole game for me. ’

 The door on the left opens, and we also have the power to enter the deep lair.

Before there were lights, the Deep Nest was really scary. There was no light and no way forward.

When all of Hallownest fell into the plague, Mantis Village resisted the infection while fulfilling its duty to prevent Deephive from expanding.

Their brothers, as the traitor lord and his followers, actively accepted the infection and were exiled by Lord Mantis.

 According to tradition, the lords and other warriors of the Mantis Village must stop the beasts trying to enter the deep lair of the Mantis Village and kill the intruders who enter the Mantis Village.

  Killing the enemies attacking from Deepnest is an important part of the truce agreement between the Mantis tribe and the Kingdom of Hallownest. Although Hallownest was reduced to a wasteland due to the plague, they still abide by the old agreement.

The Mantis Lords and all their members are proud warriors who guard their territory.

Here, the leaders will personally guard the entrance to the deep lair. Defeating them can lead to the deep lair.

This video of the battle against the Mantis Lord is very embarrassing. The video blogger admitted that he had fought it many times.

 But even if he fights many times, during this battle, he will secretly replenish two drops of blood between attacks.

　　After this video, the number of people playing Hollow Knight skyrocketed, because countless people wanted to have a hearty battle with Lord Mantis and go to the weird and deep deep lair.

 After Lord Mantis, everyone found that there is nothing difficult about this game.

　　When you feel the tribute from Lord Mantis, the sense of accomplishment is really incomparable.

At that moment, players want to continue and see the glory of Hallownest again.

 …

 The First Game News later wrote a game review:

The designer didn’t seem to worry that the players would be dissatisfied. As the game designer expected, the players were immersed in the fun of getting lost and suddenly becoming enlightened.

ˆThe feeling of clarity after exploration and the feeling of gradually getting closer to the truth are also part of the charm of Hollow Knight. ’

 No one tells you what to do, and no one tells you what to do, but in the continuous adventure, you can clearly know what you want to do and where you are going.

This feeling is magical, but as soon as you start the game, you will be attracted by the insect kingdom. 】

Each map has its own BGM.

What Yin Ge said before has been repeatedly considered by the players and cited as holy scriptures.

  He said that BGM is enough to evaluate the quality of a game.

 Each scene and each boss in the game has its own music, and the high-pitched singing of the Godseekers is even more shocking.

When taking the elevator down to the City of Tears, the whole city is raining and dim, as if the prosperity of the past has passed away, and now only the scene of decay is left. BGM is ringing in the ears. At that time, it only makes people feel that they are... Begin a journey of suffering and sadness that cannot be stopped at all.

 In the center of the City of Tears, there is a monument to the Hollow Knight.

　　【Under that high black dome. 】

　　　His sacrifice made Hallownest immortal. 】
