Nosk: Mimics the shape of other creatures to lure prey to it's lair.
Spacer
In the deepest darkness, there are beasts who wear faces stolen from your memories and pluck at the strings in your heart. Know yourself, and stay strong.
It saddens me to hear the dying thoughts of the bugs in Nosk’s lair. As if they didn’t understand what happened, or why someone else had their face. The words “My Face” stick out to me the most.
yeah i agree
And the ones that are thinking "dearest" are really heartbreaking too. They thought they were following their significant other, or maybe a child, and instead they got baited into Nosk's layer.
@@the.fairyonearth “dearest” “brother” and “I thought you were dead” 😭
“Don’t run” is really depressing too. Also, “Come back”
Yeah, the Wanderer's Journal talks about this. Apparently, Nosk can somehow read the minds of its prey to mimic their loved ones to lure it to their lair.
It's interesting because it mimics the Knight, like Nosk couldn't find anyone to mimic to lure you, so it just mimicked you instead.
Small detail! When Nosk starts to transform, you can see the Knight go into a crouched position like he was shocked
Who would not get shocked after you see your clone transform is a fucking monster
the knight was stunned. it does that with most bosses that start their fight by screaming at you
Wait I thought he can’t feel
thats for every other boss with a scream
He braces himself, he does it when the bosses scream too
This video is pretty old, but for anyone having trouble with the whole "Shade stuck in the fight room", just attack the Shade and keep attacking it, even if the Nosk runs at you. Afterward, pause and EXIT TO THE MENU. This will return you to your last bench, and it saves your progress. This means that Shade will still be defeated, and your Geo will be safe. This can be used to escape from generally any boss though. It can also prevent the Shade from appearing at all if you exit to the menu right before you die.
omg thanks
@@martinlara4567 Your welcome!
Huh, why have I never thought of this?
Thank you so much man you saved me 4K of geo !
Not a problem with void heart
2:54 Scared me so bad on my first play through 🤣
people with arachnophobia: **intense breathing**
As soon as I entered deepnest I pooped my pants, knowing that there will definitely be a Spider/bug bossfight
people with arachnophobia literally can't beat hollow knight without breaking themselves mentally
@@tukobuko0361 ngl i'm really scared of spiders and bugs, but killing this nasty motherfucker makes me feel so happy for some reason. still though, the way they rush at me still terrifies me.
Y e s
no, slightly more rapid breathing
What the heck? You lucked out: the Nosk had two more moves when I fought it. It spat blobs of fire like the Brooding Mawlik, and then ran across the ceiling dropping blobs, too.
Spaminator3000 it got those moves after the hidden dreams update
Yeah! That's right! I've search for this gameplay to know how to defeat the Nosk and Max defeat it easily but in the real world it is quite difficult. At least, I've defeat it!!
Sorry but that is 2017
Auténtico Heble yeah I got my strategy together only to get my ass whipped 6 times lol
@Myself spiderman took 4000 geo from me
to anyone having trouble with this fight, i found just staying at the bottom left corner of that middle platform leaves you a lot room for attacks. just gotta dodge when he drops acid from the ceiling and when he charges you from the far left.
Thank you
bro thankyou, I was struggling and died like 3 times. then I follow your tips, failed once, and nailed it in 2nd time. thx
Yes I beat it on my first try thanks to the (slow) double mask healing. I often healed there. Sometimes I got hit immediatly after but it was worth it.
*good charms to use:*
stalwart shell
thorns of agony
steady body
quick focus
Thanks mate
Thanks mate
I'd rather have soul catcher instead of steady body though
don't forget about wayward compass it's op when fighting nosk
Steady body? Might as well put on the Kingsoul and the Compass
@@janachovancova7110 when i commented this (8 months ago) i was used to have steady body in fighting. you can ignore that one if you want.
Imagine if a metal cover played when you fought Nosk on Steel Balls mode.
Thank you for warning me cus I was "oh shit my twin" but like no
Anyone reminded of Mimi from Super Paper Mario?
_Mimimimimimimimi!_
Well, this is that but already an insect.
Yes
So. . . is Ghost seeing themself? Like, the bug who was killed by the void when the shade took up residence in their shell? All the dreamnail dialogue seems to indicate that Nosk can read your heart for someone who's died and uses that to entrap its victims. Someone who was dear to you. I honestly can't think of any other candidate, but I'm just spitballing.
Yeah, I think the idea is that Nosk can tell who or what others hold dear to them most, like a loved one, and copies their apperance to lure in prey. Ghost is seeing themself because they really only care about themself. Later, I think Winged Nosk takes the form of Hornet, so maybe by this time Ghost also cares about Hornet?
@@the.fairyonearth Oooooh yeah that's true
@@the.fairyonearth he really only cares about his mission, not really himself.
This boss has the best music ever!
I think fighting this boss after stressful day of work is not a good idea :/
Yo que?
Ugh, I thought I was done with Deepnest, but that's where the other pale ore is I need. Sakes alive...
I like the trail of fart hollow knight is leaving behind
*Heroic scent
His name is ghost
Lol the hollow knight is the final boss, not the character we play as
Edit: but dw lol- I thought the same thing until about half way through the game when I found out
@@tigermythix then what is the protagonists name
@@IIiiiLiiOiiIii I'm pretty sure it's just "The knight"
0:22 LOL goes to sit back on the bench to get health back and then remembers hes making a video
I have had my name abbreviated to nosk for so long and I recently got asked if it was in reference to hollow knight. I said no bc I haven’t played it yet but now I want to just bc of this lol
Just got done doing this fight and i ended up beating him first try. The way i did it was by standing off the platform and pinching myself in the wall of the platform and hitting him as he walked over me and then i would go to the other side rinse and repeat. I also had grimms kid to deal damage as well.
For me he gets crazy at the end, he will not expose his body anymore and he wont stop shooting fire balls from above all the time...
What nosk taught me is that if you flip the knight's head upside down, the horns resemble insect mandibles.
There are a lot of IT references in this part. If the game had realistic graphics then Deepnest would be nightmare fuel...
I know nothing about hollow knight, but I LOVE spiders. And god, this design is one of the best things I've seen. Huge respect for the creators.
Hollow knight fans- can y'all tell me if there's more cool ass spiders in that game? I'd consider buying it :)
There are the spider enemies that crawl on invisible webs, and one of the most important characters, Hornet, despite her name, is also a spider. There are at least 3 other spider enemies too, and an entire spider village, albeit it's quite barren. So yeah, there are spiders, but it's just a section of the game. The rest of it is really cool though, so spiders aside, I highly recommend it.
Herrah, a spider and a milf, is that good?
@@giovannioliveira8930 YES.
@@LilacJuvia I AM IN TEARS
@@LilacJuvia then buy the game at steam, if u speedrun it during your first playthrough you can get to the spiders in about 25 minutes
I hid on the left corner of the platform and would sharp shadow through him after his fireball spits when he charged. Also good place to power up.
Grubsong gave me soul when hit from his ceiling drops.
Weaversong, Sharp Shadow, Grubsong, and Lifeblood Core worked for me.
When I played this fight I realized Indie Cross used this song during the post song 2 cutscene for the Bendy week
I have arachnophobia and holy shit this fight was hell I couldn’t even look at the screen
I love the fact that, if you try to Dream Nail him, the only dialogue is *"..."*
Since Nosk reads the minds of others, by reading his mind the Dream Nail backfires and the Knight reads his own, and as we know, he doesn't think anything.
this guy so lucky. He didn't get the infectoin attacks
Those attacks weren’t added to the fight when this was uploaded
@@evilemu2599 oh
go to the left at where the gate closed and stay there his ceiling attacks cant hit. and when he runs into u spam down b when he go back up in ceiling heal or when he runs away from u
I saw the clone form once myself and I was like 'dafuck?' and later I found out via CZcams what it was and it creeps me the fuck out. But that's literally the only creepy thing about Deepnest :p
I love the cocky ":p"
Like "yeah, I'm not afraid of anything in deepnest. You could say I'm pretty brave"
@@Scriblyn To be fair, Deepnest does have creepy stuff sprinkled throughout. Things that come to mind are Midwife and that maze to get to the Dreamer. But in all fairness, Deepnest as a whole is more of a generic scary area than actually scary.
Like, if all of Deepnest is scary, then by that logic so is every other area in the game, because almost every area has unsettling stuff sprinkled in. But that doesn't make them automatically scary.
@@TheMarionick Wow, that's fair enough actually
Who else lost all their money because they didn't know they were walking into this? 🤣
Man they really didn't have to add the 2 new moves to this shit.
Ah, aesthetically Nosk is my favorite boss, he’s just so creepy and interesting to me, but man the fight with him was boring. He basically just charges you over and over. It’s easy to dodge and boring to do. It could’ve been so much more.
He does the goopy thing now though, do you have any tips for that?
@@iwishic0uldw1n24 there is a way to cheese his attacks but since your comment was 4 months ago you probably already killed nosk lmao
i remember seeing another me in deepnest, i thought it was a glitch and i left it... ugh i wanted to fight nosk :(
The dingiest little Bug to squash
Ingenious Game Design
Very Interesting
i wonder if the devs actually expected anyone to beat nosk on their first trip to deepnest
does anyone notice that nosk is just a bigger mimic
Like his name should have been MimicVessel
Yep
Man im new to this game, i just came threw here and beat that boss second try. Didnt think he was anything too exciting.
Not really a secret boss its common to find it in deepnest
It's hidden behind a breakable wall.
I loathe this one. It barely give you a second to recover and it reads your movements.
That happens with a lot of the bosses
0:45 is when i knew smthin was wrong
Can someone explain the charge thing he keeps doing in the corners? I'm not that far in yet, just beat hornet
The only way nosk can hit you in the left stage corner, is by running at you from the left, or attacking from the ceiling.
Yeah this battle is total BS ! and as if it wasn't already hard enough, they added more moves to the boss. But what really sucks is if you want your soul and money back you gotta keep going back to it and fighting until you beat it because it locks you in that area. Total F'N BS !!!! Not enough charm notches damnit !!!
MrTarheelblue79 I'll be replaying the whole game again soon with all the extre stuff so that should be interesting 😅
@Tom Sheldon yes, but I ended up beating Nosk the cheap way !
if you have rancid egg you can talk to the lady at dirthmouth.
You could give Jiji a rancid egg
Just kill your shadow and return to menu
yo mimi wth
Didnt realise this is a Penny-wise reference
In short, the best boss i Lost Kin
is it just me or does nosks scream spund like Calamity ganon when he dies?
It kind of does scream like that
THE HOLLOWNEST IS ENDLESS
you forgot to show the map
Boy whats about using your brain
@@truhiloragd321 perhaps people don't know the layout of a path with 3 or more breakable walls in one of the darkest places in the game?
@@kitty185_ ... yes
@@kitty185_ but he showed the map...
Truhilora HD 1:16 yes, and skipped over to another area. plus the area was unmarked as of the time shown, and i'm done replying as this comment is a year old
I have extreme arachnophobia but for some reason nosk dont scare me so much
I think you have to kill nose for pale ore so not much of a secret
4:03 its at this moment you knew. you fucked up
*the giant enemy spider*
The song is so Good

How is it not in Educational Category ? I didn't know it was possible to lose to Nosk.
He’s kind of harder now that they added more moves but still kind of a sad fight considering all the build
bruh bu didnt get the hard part where he would go on the ceiling and spit fire what
I know I'm a year later but that's because nosk was weaker 5 years ago, and later got a buff which added those 2 moves
@@togekiss09 oooh wow really? Very interesting hahaha thank you
Does the hollow knight have feelings or no ?
Well I guess so because the pale king threw out all vessels that had feelings and stuff so I guess it does? Idk
Eh touché
This is the cheapest boss i've ever encountered in my life and I beat sekiro.
The worst of all of the abominations of deepnest
Nosk isn't a secret boss fight lmao
Yeah but it’s optional and a lot of people don’t know its athere
It's an optional boss which is also well hidden with pretty much no clues about it's existance, sounds like a secret boss 🗿
@@togekiss09 No clues about it's existence? Right, except that if you follow the literal main path to the Deepnest you see yourself. If you didn't chase yourself down it's your own fault. You have to TRY to not find Nosk dude lol
Women amirite
