What is your worst boss in the game? (Godholm edition)

[Wincent, The Hollow Knight]

What is the boss you hate the most in Godholm? While it include every boss in the game, are some of them slightly different, meaning that there is a worthwhile concept to make a difference between the normal ones and these ones.

I will be honest, The worst boss (by my account) in godholm is Uumuu.
Simply put. It isn't difficult at all, it is just a case of jump around, hit an Ooma into Uumuu, hit like... 4-5 times and win.

The issue I have with this boss is that it is extremely random.
Sometimes Uumuu will summon the Ooma's first thing. Other times can he do 3-4 attacks before it happens.

Sometimes Uumuu is ONTOP of the Ooma's so you can't send them into him.
Sometimes due to his electric field, is it impossible to reach the Ooma's in time to actuqally hit one of them into Uumuu without taking damage.

He isn't an hard boss or a difficult one. just a frustrating one.

(Also No eyes is also extremely annoying in the fifth pantheon, but the benefit of that is that her attacks at the least are easy to dodge and her movement makes her somewhat of a strategy fight)

I think you’re going to get a lot of Markoth answers here. As for me though, I’d say Sly; his first phase isn’t bad, but I have so much trouble with his second phase.

Also, tip for Uumuu: when the Ooma are on top of it blast them with Shade Soul. You’ll make Uumuu vulnerable safely(no chance for the core to miss and hit you) and also still likely hit once or twice with the spell.

I second that, Sly is the worst. Both phases are a painnn

I dunno, I can quite often reliably handle Sly with ease...
Using hit and run tactics. Doging out, dashing in, slashing, dodging out again...
Works on both phases...

Oh and yes... Markoth is such a pain.
His normal version is annoying enough, but when you remove the floor you have one completely new level of frustration.

[Wincent, The Hollow Knight]

The issue I have with Uumuu is that he isn't difficult...
He is just annoying.
That is the phrase, annoying.
Same way as the Obbobles (or whatever they are named) are annoying.
They aren't difficult really, but they just have mechanics that make them frustrating to fight or outright just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

(Obbobles before the Sisters of battle is the worst thing, because due to the Obobbles massive "Bullet hell" attacks is it easy just to loose alot of health to them by simple rain)

The Collector (Primal Aspid spawning) with all bindings is the epitome of cancer.

No Eyes in 5th pantheon because of spikes and infinite teleportation, and Markoth in 5th pantheon because well, everyone knows the reasons. The free dlc has it costs.

Edit: before I forget, I HATE Obbobles.

I figured out that a solid way of beating Markoth in the 5th pantheon is to bounce on him, pogoing on him allows alot of aireal mobility making it easy to avoid the swords and you can attack quite often. Tho the shields are a nuisance.

And yes, No eyes is such a sodding pain. Thorns everywhere (thorns and spikes aren't the same thing mechanicwise afterall) and her attacks are really annoying with their patterns, making it hard to find good places to heal.

And obbobles are annoying, in the sense that they are really hard toa void due to all the ♥♥♥♥ they throw at you AND they are straight before the sisters of battle which can mean you go into that combat with lower than desirable health.

(Know that pain from the Fallen champion, because he is STRAIGHT before Nightmare king grimm which can be so frustrating, especially since the fallen champion gives so little soul)

When failed champion falls on his last phase you can dream nail him endlessly and he wont get back up, allowing you full soul and full heal before NKG.

Huh, didn't know that.

I like the Gray Prince Zote fight in the normal game, but in the pantheons he's an absolute nightmare for me. I usually go with quick focus and shape of unn in my build, it makes some bosses like White Defender or Traitor Lord laughably easy, but it doesn't matter how many healing charms you use, you can never reliably heal in his fight except for the half second where he falls over. And having him right after Markoth is just the worst.

[Mairon_Tenebrous]

I really enjoy the Gray Prince Zote fight in the regular game. It was challenging, but I felt amazing when I finally beat him! That said, GPZ in the Godhome (especially in the Pantheon) is a pain in the.... uhm... *quiet coughing* and he is RIGHT AFTER Markoth, and we all know how we feel about that melancholic miserable maddening mishap. Anyway. I would usually say NKG as well, but I finished him off not too long ago in the pantheon, after MUCH WORK, and he is generally a more fun fight than the others mentioned here.
