- Pale Court is a fan made Hollow Knight expansion, mostly focused around adding new difficult bosses to the game. These bosses being the other 4 great knights of Hallownest, along with a secret 5th boss you may recognize. Hope you enjoy my playthrough, and thanks to everyone who helped make this mod a reality.

thanks for knighting - Hry
I love it when the community says its not silksonging time so they decide to mod all over the place
first creative comment i've ever seen with this format
Morbin' time is now on the same level of iconic as loss and amogus, you only need 2 or 3 words for people to recognize it. It's a slippery slope from here, we're gonna start seeing it where it isn't soon
@@herothecrow994Loss?
such a good comment

Isma being a pain in the ass is payback for Skurry always trashing on her tear ability.
Revenge
Fr
Justice for the literal Grass genocide
YOU TOOK SPOOKY'S COIN!
I love how during the first Tiso attempt someone in the chat immediately went "FOR HIS NEUTRAL SPECIAL HE WIELDS A GUN"
Lmao 🤣
Happy chaos
its so cute that ogrim in the background turns his head to look at the side of the arena that isma is on and also how in the boss rush when isma is beaten ogrim catches her when she falls
It actually depends which you defeat first. If you defeat ogrim last, Isma catches him and jumps away with him. It's an amazing touch
true couple goals
True relationship goals right there
They get together like -house on fire- plants on dung.
zemer does the traitor lord walk, which she learned from being lesbians with the traitor lord's daughter
Lmao, she learned from her dad in law 😂
she also got the shade cloak required attack
@@d4rkshadow826 mom in law, all of the mantis lords are sisters including the traitor lord
@nobody3830 "Deposed Lord of the Mantis tribe. Embraced the infection and turned against HIS sisters"
Traitor Lords journal entry would suggest otherwise. There's also nothing to suggest the gender of all Mantis warriors/youth/traitors/Petras is female either from what I've read
@@transcendentalanarchy sorry my bad, my sibling told me that traitor lord was also a girl. I apologise and thank you for correcting me
When Skurry says they’re getting frustrated with the fight it’s hard to believe because their voice sounds like they’re always smiling
I love all the little details in this mod, like how Ze’Mer’s girlfriend stands in the background as she fights you, or all the interactions between Ogrim and Isma
It feels like the backgrounds of the fights show you either what the knights want the most, or care about the most. Ze’Mer has her love in a field of delicate flowers, Hegemol stands in the bustling city that he was seemingly tasked to defend, Isma had Ogrim, and Dryya had the White Lady who she died defending
And the fact that in ZeMer's fight, the traitor lords daughter eyes follow Ze'mer istead of the knight unlike in godhome where the god seekers study you. It's a nice detail showing how she cares for Ze'mer.
Literally when I noticed Ogrim waching over the Isma fight and Traitor's Child watching over the Ze'mer fight there was a tear in my eyes 🥺
Im pretty sure whatever is in the background is something they’re fighting for
I like how some of the attacks the five knights do are taken from Pure vessel. Dryya has a floor spear attack, Isma does a vine whip like PV’s void whip. It fleshes out the idea that the vessel learned from them.
VA of Isma and longtime fan of the channel here! All the content in this mod is quite difficult, so props on getting as far as you did ^^ Glad you enjoyed, this was a blast to watch!
Hi isma love ur voice
Thank you!
You did a great job, congratulations!
You did an incredible job!
Thank you and thank everyone else who worked on this!!
Witnessing an innocent soul crumble under the existential dread of Mystic Ze'mer for the first time is an incomparable experience, thank you Skurry
Fan made expansions from community like that are pure bliss, really underrated fandom
Heisenberg is a Hollow knight fan :0
You I have come to realize are fake, I see you everywhere but you can’t be real if you are very where brother. This makes me sad
@@HisenBeansbut you're everywhere too
bro your everywhere wtf
Yeah the community is awesome and really talented but the most unfunniest community at the same time as well, as much as i love hollow knight, i can’t pass them up on their humour 💔
This fan mod is the exact reason why quick focus exists, so you can heal even against fast bosses
Quick Focus carried me through Soul Tyrant
on the other hand: *_U N N_*
@@Hexagons7 i beat it on my second try without it
@@hinomorigamingwho asked
@@hinomorigamingwe dont care
“This isn’t false knight, this is real knight.”
…Yes, that’s exactly what it is
failed champion?
no no no, this is successful champion
I love the attention to detail in trying to keep it fit in with the feel of the rest of hollow knight. I think the team did an amazing job
yeah, when I first saw it I thought it was from team cherry so I think the team can really be proud of themselves for making such a beautiful and amazing mod. I'm a bit sad that I can't play it since I'm on switch but I've had a lot of fun watching everyone else play it and having so much fun. I really love being a part of the hollow knight community, it's always fun to see what great things the modding community has achieved over the years
I don't want to undermine this amazing effort and it's quality too, but that said i do think the bosses feel nothing like the normal game's. Each one's patterns feel off, a bit too fast, a bit unreactable or not satisfying to avoid. So i'm really more impressed with the dev team and their journey than what they actually ended up with
@@NoirKirbithey have the pace of the sisters of battle boss fight or something like NKG. I personally thing they’re good because they actually take skill to beat unlike a good portion of HKs base game bosses
@@kirin8735 Nkg and sisters have significantly more balanced and fair attacks. Compared to like the random full screen shockwave attacks either in the middle of Ze'mer's combos or in Hegemol fight where his attacks very quickly stack on each other, where they seriously clash with shade dash's pretty impactful cooldown. Not to mention actual healing windows. I don't think there is more than 1 or 2 max healing windows, and all of them are way too tight and scuffed. Nkg is a hard boss but despite that almost every attack has a healing window. Of course i'm not expecting fans to make something amazing and again in no way do i undermine their effort, but i just think their work here deserves a little bit more critisism
@@NoirKirbiI feel like the unfairness and overall difficulty was what the devs were aiming for, so while I agree they wouldn’t fit in with normal hollow knight bosses that much I don’t think it’s necessarily a negative to make different types of bosses if you understand what I mean
Hegemol:
Is this the real knight?
Is this just fantasy?
Rubble in landslides
No escape from fatality
just wanna add, strength + fury + abyssal bloom on 1 mask does 80 damage per hit. do with that information what you will
Now add mark of purity for like 3 quarters of that but like 8 times a second and watch hegemol shrivel
@@mothgirl326 i feel like thatll make anyone shrivel lol
love how in the champions call the knights disappear from the background as they join the fight, nice attention to detail.
It made me think that Skurry would have to fight the Pale King last
I love the Pale Court but because of the difficulty I'll probably never get to play through it
The art is so good in this tho, I love the plant attacks of Isma and the beautiful city background of Hegemol!
Defenders crest goes from stink to axe body spray. And to be frank, I don't know which is worse
The best part of this, the creator acknowledged isma and ogrim, so they designed isma's move set to be strong by itself while also being complimentary to ogrim

@@thegappleapple7763 thank you! That would explain why autocorrect was trying to change it to "Abby's" 😄
Isma heard you did grass percent multiple times and took that personally
This mod is amazing!
Imo my favorite bosses are Isma and Hegemol. They are just so cool. Hegemol with all the fake outs and like his quick attacks compared to his large stature. Then isma closing in the arena and making a tight bullet hell.
Tiso having a gun shield should be canon
Only canon thing about Tiso is his death
@@lumineaniwhat about him not liking how stags were used?
Whoever voiced Isma has such a soft voice! It's so nice!
they commented on this video lol
The fact that Skurry found plant knight the most annoying says a lot about their grass-cutting skills.
Yeah. Is Skurry really just a fraud? Was the grass% run secretly photoshopped??
The alley-poop between white defender and isma is immaculate 😂
Seeing the different ways the creators showed a time before the fall of hallownest was really cool
fun fact about the tiso boss fight: he is in p5
4:52
Since nobody seems to know (based off reading chat) that is the traitor’s child, the traitor Lord’s child who we deliver the flower to. Her story is that she fell in love with the grey mourner (Le’mer is her actual name I think) and she was killed for it, hence why she is know the grey mourner.
Every Hollow Knight player after defeating a boss at the 30th try: "That was actually easy"
Me trying to beat Traitor Lord the 40th time: Come on this boss isn't hard I just keep making them look hard,
A fanmade expansion made for fans . It's really amazing how they managed to make it look like official dlc. The soundtrack, the bosses and the content we're all made perfectly , except Isma i hate her. The Devs really put a lot of work into this!
Rip to all console players who can't play this..
They play on console, they don’t deserve nice things.

Ismas and Ogrims teamwork is so strong, they even help eachother with their attacks 33:17
Pale court is awesome and fits into the game so well, the team did such an amazing job on it!
Dude it is so impressive what these people were able to create. This mod is just so awesome!
watching the ze'mer fight rn and. damn they subverted the tragic lesbians trope by making the lesbian unkillable
They made *you, the player* the tragedy instead
Okay when Hegemol spawned on top of Skurry I actually laughed so loud
Seeing the city of tears bustling with activity is the last thing I expected to see but it's so crazy and awesome.
The fan made bossses are so cool and the areana to mighty hegimol has a lot of details like bugs using the tram
Also the people who made the bosses made the ze mer’s attacks harder to read because its mysterious ze mer
@@emerald6161 bro what
As someone who has completed pantheon 5, this looks like the difference in difficulty between false knight and pantheon 5 is about the same as the difference between pantheon 5 and this mod. Absolutely metal
My honest opinion is that actually these bosses are mostly like p4 difficulty, (they feel a little like grimm and pv that the main trouble is learning attacks but once you got it its fine) but mystic zemer is just like a little bit harder than abs rad. It's been a long time since I fought normal bosses though so idk
@@mothgirl326
Imo Dryya is pretty easy (maybe Sly difficulty?), and the rest are like abs rad difficulty barring Zemer
i do think that they require a bit more balancing. the strength differences between champions + effectiveness of attacks definitely feels a little off.
"what is happening?" *white flash* quickly followed by the only twitch chat message visible being "good luck!" and then skurry dying was truly poetry
also, when hollow knight got called the "dark souls of metroidvanias"... this mod team really took that to heart. i love seeing so many complex and interesting mechanics that only ever got used in one or two of the more difficult boss fights showing up here to really highlight hallownest's greatest warriors and their skillsets. my singular criticism would probably be with the background of the dryya fight since the white lady makes it SO hard to see what's going on, but overall its so beautifully done
“Imagine having bosses you have to actually shade dash through” Traitor Lord: am I a joke to you?
Radiance:
aww, why "Plant jail" when "Thorny Jail" was right there
Hollow Knight Fans Before Silksong: SHAW! ADINO! HEGALE, GARAMA!
Hollow Knight Fans when Silksong isn't ready yet: DEIMOS! VENIDO! VANA SHAAAA!!!
Can't believe that we finally know where Tiso comes from..
America
The Isma fight reminded me of Elder Hu, but instead of easy and annoying it looked hard and annoying
Actually I didn't find Isma that annoying radiant it was actually really fun but idk I prefer radiant markoth to like ten of the other bosses so I'm probably very wierd
@@mothgirl326 Radiant?
@elias.t yep I know I am indeed a radiant markoth enjoyer
@@mothgirl326 no sorry. I was wondering what radiant meant.
@elias.t oh right my bad🤦♀️ it's basically a format of fighting a boss in godhome where they have more health, you die in one hit and sometimes the arena is changed slightly (e.g. markoth's radiant arena has no floor)
I had no idea this was a thing until now. Massive, massive props to the team that worked on this mod for making it feel so much like something that could very easily have been part of the actual game, holy shit well done. I was going to make a joke about this being what Team Cherry has been working on this whole time but that would take away from the massively talented group of people that actually made this happen, this is awesome. Well done everyone
dude the fight compilations from hegamol to zemir are so smooth, and to think that u cut out the isma, ogrim, and dryya fights like I WONDER HOW LONG THIS TOOK AND HOW GOOD U BECCAME LIKE DANG
They took like 5 hours for the whole video, which is crazy to me that they're that good, it took me like a full day to get to mystic zemer and I would consider myself relatively decent at the game
You make all the normal bosses look so easy. This mod must be ridiculously hard!
32:48 It only makes scense! WDs floor is the perfect fertilizer for Ismas plants!
this is way too good to be a fan expansion
Dryaa fight is like what a Hornet 3 would be
can’t wait for someone to make a dashmaster boss and make him a sans reference
That gauntlet looks like a darker verison of path of pain lmfao
Right when i saw the 2nd faze of Ze'mer, i was thinking of Maleania.
I wanted to go to bed, however I have my priorities, so thank you for blessing us with new video
I feel like a cool thing would have been to have Pure Vessel in thr boss rush too
Kind of a spoiler but when you beat the boss rush the knights have dialogue that implies you're playing the role of the Hollow Knight, and this is a dream recreation of the training it went through. So you kinda are the Pure Vessel in this
@@R.P.Genocraftand the charms are the techniques learned along the way (I hc white defenders crest as more of a royal and proud aura and feel rather than a smell), with abyssal bloom being the void inside
The common problem that plagues all these new bosses seems to be overly detailed and bright backgrounds that distract you from attacks or make them difficult to see.
Honestly the backgrounds didn't give me any trouble, I think Skurry's use of axe body spray was causing the problem.
The _foreground_ on the other hand...
I also read a thread where the sfx come a little bit after some attacks. So there's no real telegraph.
AMAZING MOD
best mod in the game CHANGE MY MIND 💪💪💪
@@juny_prI SHALL NOT
Also, i caught a bit of this stream and it's insane how quick Skurry gets so consistent with these new bosses. Hope to see return to this from you! (Also in a rando or bingo probably)
This mod is peak fun and pain I like the little messages when you beat one of the three and the secret hall of gods boss (won't say who) plus the credits secret in Dryya's fight
New isma fan right here
The best part. The detaIls of the bosses.
Each one has parts and bits of the Pale knight's fighting style. it is a beautiful Expansion that is so well done.
This is the kind of passion I love to see. When people love something, its incredible the lengths they'll go.
Amazing mod. I hope to see the ending someday soon
44:04 onward for the next 10 seconds is actually so sick YOU FOCUSED REALLY WEL
6:36 I adore Hegemol’s fight. Because it shows him properly using his strength and mace to good effect, rather than False Knight hopping around and hitting the ground.
The community will manage to release silksong before team cherry does ☠️
Such a cool mod! Would love to see you try to finish it at some point Skurry!
Excited to see you play through this btw!!❤
I watched the floorspike-dive in slow motion and it seems to me that the invincibility window is significantly shorter than that of d-dark.
I don't think so, the animation just lasts much longer so you still think you're invincible
@@R.P.Genocraft You are invincible during the entire animation, which I exploit a lot.
Yeah it does take your s
Your frames are supposed to last as long as you don't have control of the knight plus some. When I had that charm on, and only when, I would always get hit by whatever I dove directly onto.
Frankly it's pretty balanced considering the damage and the fact that you can just not dive directly on a hitbox
@@laurawitch3099 Yes, I too found out while fighting: getting hit without understanding why and then watching back the footage. But indeed it's better like this, it just requires some little adaptations in positioning.
As a wise scientist once said: Never underestimate the power of stink!
I love how this guy literally appreciated one of my favorite enemies in the game the flying century guys inside the city of tears and how they literally just say ROVAA
This mod dud the one thing you'd never expect to see in the vanilla game: giving downwards dash an actual use
Really impressive mod, I can't imagine how much effort must have gone into this
Downward Dashslash
Calling Ze'mer Malenia is very accurate
I reuse this comment from another Pale Court video: Zemer's theme, voice and fight itself feel so japan-esque, and it's really fitting given she's mysterious and from faraway lands
skurry is fr fighting calamity bosses in this one 💀
Holly shit, the pantheon
I waited for you to cover it cuz I needed the Skurry experience. Ty
This mod is so beautiful and well done but I got so overstimulated watching it that I could never play it lmao
Funny enough, I really loved the Isma fight but I couldn't stand the True Knight fight.
Spideringling + Grubsong is really good against Isma since the spiders don't have much issue killing the plants and the soul refill is really helpful. I really like running Quick Focus + Shape of Unn. That combo is actually also really good against Grey Mourner since you can just outrun her while also healing (especially during the earlier phases). QF+Unn is also nice into Isma because the projectiles and mobs are pretty avoidable with only horizontal movements and Isma won't run you down, especially during the phase where she vine. But yeah, between those three, Isma was my favorite. She felt like she hit this really nice sweet spot where she was complicated enough to not be boring but not too complicated to be overwhelming. The fight just felt incredibly fair. Which those two things together are hard to make in a bullet-spam fight (especially so in something like Hollow Knight where the character lacks consistent ranged options). Like, almost all of the base-game enemy spam and bullet-spam fights just felt really boring. The only exception to that was Radiance (and potentially Absrad, I never fought her tho).
I haven't seen the other bosses yet tho and I don't want to spoil myself.
Same. I only beat Hegemol with a minion build and hiding in the top corner
@@Someone-id5xjI had to use that strat against Failed Champ bro 💀
skurry not using weaver+grubsong for isma is a wild choice to make that fight so much harder than it has to be
Also I found from personal experience that you can cheese Dryya and Hegemol by hugging the wall charging crystal dash and never releasing it, they can never hit you there(except with very slow attacks that you can just release the dash to dodge) and the spiders slowly chip them down, only way I could ever beat Champion's Call lmao
Ze’mer just sounds like she’s saying “lmao”
Yay I was waiting for this vod!
PALE COURT
Super excited to see you play this, Skurry! 🧡
The Ze’mer and Dryya fights felt kinda like a 2d rendition of a certain Elden Ring boss that makes people rage
Man seeing the kingdom alive, feels so different...
I'm so happy that we got a Tiso fight. He is my son.
I was watching mid stream this is very good
...Heed my words. I am Ze'mer. Blade of Hallownest. And I have never known defeat.
24:57 rip he was just flying in peace
Seeing Skurry having fun with mods fills you with Determination.
Hegemol is such a cool fight, taking an existing boss that doesn’t know how to fight at all, and giving it a completely different fighting style
Edit: I love how in the Isma fight, Ogrim is spectating like the God Seeker does, and neither one pays attention to the vessel, they are entirely focused on the boss
lets goooooo i really wanna play this mod
This goes crazy
I love your content sm! I was waiting for this video! Thx for your vids! I also really like your voice, it's very relaxing!
i cannot comprehend how you're supposed to get through the abyss' path of pain
the amount of effort put in this mod is mind blowing this is the best mod we can get to play before silksong
I wonder if anyone else saw but the real night and the knight who protects the white lady think about each other after the fight
19:45 missed the chance to say isma put you in thorny jail
