HOLLOW KNIGHT - 10 Enemies That Piss Me Off 

1. that stupid flying thing in crystal peaks that shoots crystal bullets and makes whatever it hits unable to stand on

"I was curious to find out what was making the sound of someone enthusiastically unclogging a toilet" I'm crying

10. You 9. Can't 8. Judge 7. Enemies 6. In 5. Hollow 4. Knight 3. By 2. Annoyingness 1. Primal Aspid

U forgot the "i spawn whenever and wherever I want spider"

Never in my playthroughs have I fought a primal aspid without getting hit by its projectiles at least once.

The insults towards these enemies are just absolutely beautiful lol

4:00 "you ever been killed by a barking turnip?" you just earned yourself a like.

Who needs a large god moth as a finale boss when you could just have a primal aspid made 50 bigger as a boss

"you know what they say, it only takes two to tango, but it takes three to hide in a corner where they cant reach you and swat them away like your trying to guard your picnic lunch from a gathering of angry bees"

the soft jazz is what really makes this

In short; Primal Aspid - unintuitive attack Dirtcarver - low visibility, numbers Baldur - low visibility, numbers Shadow Crawler - low visibility Flukemon - numbers Flukefey - unintuitive attack Fooleater - low visibility Volt Twister - numbers Loodle - unintuitive attack, numbers Great Hopper - unintuitive attack

I’ve come to realize what makes primal aspids so difficult. Usually when an enemy in a game launches some kind of projectile, you stand still, wait and then jump out of the way the moment they shoot. But the aspid’s spittle didn’t aim at where you **were.** It always manages to aim where you **are** the second it fires, which makes it really hard to time. And if you dodge the middle bullet, you get hit by one of the others (which is why no one really complains about regular aspids). Additionally a lot of flying enemies in HK sort of track your movement so that when you jump at them, they maintain the same distance and are impossible to hit with to your nail unless you have Mark of Pride, Long Nail and Mothwing Cloak- which of course still requires skill to avoid dashing face first into the enemy or falling off the platform into spikes or acid. They also take several hits to kill. So what you have is enemy you can only hit right as it is about to fire, but the second it fires the bullets are going exactly where you are and you have to choose to tank a few hits in order to kill it, and it takes a few hits which means you will too, and all of that while dealing with other aspids, other enemies, and the terrain. All at once.

your word choice is actually hilarious lmao

Dude... THE BEES! What about the damn kamikaze drillbutt bees?!?!?!?!

You seem to have forgotten the pain of dealing with Stalking Devouts who have armor on their faces when not attacking, have massive hitboxes when attacking, deal double mask damage, and always hang around in areas where the ceiling is too low for you to attack safely from above

10: The entirety of the Soul Sanctum 9: Belfly 8: Flukemon 7: Mantis Petra 6: Primal Aspid 5: Mosslfy 4: The entire Colosseum of fools 3: Great Hopper 2: The Grimmkin Novice/Master 1: The Crystal peak. Need I say more?

Surprise you didn't include those Deepnest twats that looks like normal enemies, but after you kill them, they rise from the dead as warped corpses and chase you. They made me shiver in disgust. That sound they make....yikes.

primal aspid? i just call them bastard flies

Where's the crystal hunters??

You know which enemy really annoys me? The Stalking Devout. That damn thing is always in the way somehow and you literally cannot get around it if there's no space to jump over it. Dashing through it is just not an option-

this gave me anxiety

"If it's 1, it's 12. And you're never really sure if you've gotten them all." - Dusty about the Dircarvers. (I'm also dissapointed for Crystal Hunters not being included.)

Every boss Every enemy Every hostile being Pisses me off

"enthusiastically unclogging a toilet" HAHHAHAH

When I saw the shadow creeper I questioned if this video was a joke or not.

My god, just seeing the Colliseum of Fools again makes my fingers cramp.

Surprised the flies in Crystal Peak didn't make the list. I can't fight those things without them shooting shards of crystal out of their ass and hitting me even when I moved out of the way. It's even worse when they were placed in the Crystallized Mound and I couldn't get to the snail shaman before I got the Sharp Shadow charm and Grimmchild to help me. How the hell can you get past those things on your own? They'll have you surrounded in pink crystal shit before you can register what the heck's going on and you're back at the bench in the blink of an eye. Also I did not know you could flip the platforms back over by hitting them. That didn't help much.

Primal Aspid? I thought they were called crap flingers

Aaaaaaaaand I'm gonna need more of this type of content. Hilarious diction, my man.

Here is mine, sound silly but that's what I feel. 10. Hive Guardian. I hate this, it takes 2 damage. 9. Lance Sentry. The brave one that throw to hurt you. 8. Mantis Petra. this is the one that responsible for failing the flower quest. I have when he is arround. 7. Hive Soldier. Creepy 6. Ooma. 2 damage, dont use "defender crest" or "dream shield" around it 5. Grimmkin Nightmare. I died several time for this, takes 2 damage. 4. Crystal Crawler. I have to deal with this when I hear Corifer voice, and I died, back to bench when I have no map. Why I had to deal with these guy before Cornifer. 3. Great Hopper 2. Flukemunga. takes 2 damage. cannot easily bypass by dash shadow. Have to run and reach the gap and hit from the gap. why these guy before junk pit? 1. Primal Aspid

me: "man, i'm loving this commentary! you know what should be on this list? great ho - *#10: great hoppers* me: **ooooooooooooooooooo -**

Fun fact: the grimm child attacks the ground where the dirt carver is about to come out of and also attacks defeated husks that have corpse creepers in them I'm not sure if any of the other "pet" like charms do the same (ex: the weaversong minions) but it's still somewhat helpful to know that at least grimm child can do this

It’s amazing how much more annoying you can make an enemy by just giving them the Conta spread shot.

Hearing you riff on these enemies was a treat

3:39 “I was curious to see what was making the sound of someone enthusiastically unclogging a toilet.” -Rusty. I laughed so hard I almost started suffocating from not breathing

I am surprised nobody is talking about the flying mantis bastards in queen's garden

Who would win? The Superforge one Rolly Polly Boi

2:46 just @ me bro

Agree with most of these, but I think the shadow creepers are pretty chill and cute (despite their name).

I lost it at "You ever been killed by a barking turnip?"

"You know what? fuck the deepnest, I'm going home" Those were my exact thoughts when I first ventured into that filthy overgrown god forsaken unilluminated claustrophobia inducing ant farm.

Why can I physically feel the pain behind your words

3:34 when I first played through with my dad I got to the waterways without him and described the sound as “ASMR from a drowning zombie”

Me before fighting primal aspids, after hearing about them: It can't be THAT bad... Me after: [ANGRY KNIGHT NOISES]

I love how you talk omfg im pretty sure ive watched this video like 5 times already because it makes me laugh everytime. You can really tell how STRONGLY you feel about these on a personal level and that makes it even better

Loodles and primal aspids were the worst for me

Primal aspics are the reason why the great slash nail art is my go to whenever I need to deal with their stupid.

I’m crying your commentary is so funny and it DOESN’T STOP OMG Let me breathe hang on The sheer level of loathing you have for these enemies combined with your hilarious use of words and the extremely chill jazz in the bg is SENDING me

The way you described everything made me smile, I love this so much

*see the first enemy on the list* *Get trigged hard as fuch*

I only discovered this video like a week ago and have already come back to watch it again 2-3 times because your script is just that tight and hilarious. Amazin!

This was the funniest enemy review ever 😂 love the insults, laughed too hard at "barking turnip."

Wait you’re actually rusty? I’ve been watching both superforge and TGN videos for a while and I’ve never realized they’re connected. I’ve been watching both channels individually for their own games. Quite a funny coincidence

I saw “leave me alone” and top 10 and my immediate thought was primal aspid is number 1 Glad to know I was right

When you have finished killing all the flukmons but you hear someone is trying to flush the toilet. "There is another."

😡 the Soul Master! I’ve been stuck on him for a week. Got murdered by him over 100 times now; yet I am getting closer and almost had him a few times. What annoys me is that I have to tread back though all these passageways over and over and over again just to get back to him. Sort of breaks the flow. Still a 10/10 game. 26 hours into it.

1:56 Screw you guys, I'm going home xddd

Ok so I haven’t watched a lot of your videos I kinda just went on a short spree but GOOD GOD I LOVE HOW YOU PHRASE EVERYTHING IT IS SO GOD DAMN FUNNY

Your word choice in the Flukemon segment is just glorious. XD

Whenever I see a Primal Aspid, my brain goes "Oh god. It's hit-trade, the enemy."

this is one of the most creative scripts for a video i've heard, well done

A totally unrelated side note I just completed my first ever soul steel run.. it was my first attempt, got 101%, and also did it in 8 hours.. so there go the 3 most annoying achievements all in one go on my first try.. so glad i didn't have to do anything else AND i'm here to help everyone do this as well with some tips: All I can say is NAIL UPGRADES, FRAGILE STRENGTH, FRAGILE HEALTH, FRAGILE GEO... basically never do any bosses until you have at least 2-3 nail upgrades (just makes things faster).. the fragile strength is basically a free +1 to your nail upgrade and is super helpful especially since you have 1 life anyways. Fragile health gives you 2 more masks so in the early game helps out a ton so you don't feel stressed with 5 masks and gives more leeway if you want to be risky. Fragile geo just makes the game less grindy which would of made my 8 hour run be more like 12 hours just to get geo. Also before I even attempted my first soul steel run i finished the pantheon of Hallownest.. (you don't have to finish it just practice all the ascended bosses in the practice mode even if you can't beat them). doing all the bosses in ascended mode just makes the regular game seem 1000x easier. thats why it only took me one attempt, and the most dangerous parts are just stupid mistakes like falling in spikes/acid. IMPORTANT NOTE: due to the DLC updates there is a total of 112% in the game.. if you want to 100% the game in soul steel for the achievement you don't have to do everything in the base game. For example I didn't do the white palace to get the last charm + the abyss stuff (which is about 2%) and instead just collected the god tuner (which is 1% and all 4 masks 1%) instead. most people usually skip the 4 masks because of the flower quest but that is honestly the easiest thing in the game. Enemies don't re-spawn until you hit a bench so find your path to the grave, kill all the enemies working backwards to the flower, and then go back with no enemies (takes 10 min tops). I also skipped the LAST TRIAL OF FOOLS and only did the first 2 and substituted the last trail (1%) for something else.. I believe anyone can do it if you set your mind to it, and if you play carefully you will see its not as bad as you think

"They glide back and forth stomping on the ground like your upstairs neighbors" I love it

Love your funny comments throughout the video! Exactly describes how i fell playing the game.

This guy made me laugh so damn hard I couldnt see

I definitely recognized ur voice from somewhere but didn’t know u were wth tgn until now😂 Great vid my guy

Im honestly liking this for the thumbnail. But all vids have been helpful thank you for making them.

I hate those mushrooms that shoot explosive spores at you, and they're almost always placed in platforming segments or with other enemies

I honestly felt like there was something i was missing when i first started the game and killed an Ooma. Nope. Turns out they actually are just garbage.

my god the descriptions were so freaking hilarious i had to stop the video to laugh

I am crying! Why was this so accurately funny? Hahahaha

OMG I am blown away with the quality of this video! Holy shit! Like the quips in this are fucking hilarious it's great joke after another, definitely subbing.

That was perfect. Great commentary ;)

I come for the writing of these videos.

The agreement on this list is staggering. Also ending with Pale Mom on the end card for good feels. Good show, Rusty.

“Shadow creepers the strange unexplained hybrid between a centipede and a fucking roomba” I shit you not every time I hear this i laugh

Ew, Overwatch.

Holy shit man I'm in tears

Wow 😂! Your comedic delivery is perfect 👌

at first, i was like "shadow creepers? really?" but now im trying to no hit my way to the lifeblood door and yep

You've got perfect flow man

Me: i want to donate really much money Team cherry: so what do you want to add Me: I don’t want to add, i want to delete Team cherry: um what? Me: you know what i am talkin bout delete them from HK and HK silksong Team cherry: k

“Someone enthusiastically unclogging a toilet” sent me😂😂 mostly because Hornet’s VA is the one who voiced the flukes and the flukemarm and now I can’t get that image out of my head

What makes this a great channel is that Rusty does not hold anything back when making an opinion (making him very relatable) plus he doesn't care about the consequences.

So I'm the only one who went to the waterways after getting two extra masks, a vessel fragment and two nail upgrades?

Man, my least favorite enemy was always the soul caster things. Similar to the volt twosters

In no particular order, my list: Primal Aspids (common, I know) Infected Vengeflys Infected Gruzers Crystal Hunters Loodles (regular) Mantis Petras Dirtcarvers Oomas Hive Soldiers Anything with a shield (Husk Warriors, Great Husk Sentrys, etc.)

Ive picked the game up recently and im loving it so very much. Difficult... But it feels like most deaths are my fault. Atmospheric and addictive. Thanks for your videos. They got me into bloodborne and now im into Hollowknight

This is the first time I’m watching one of this guy’s videos and I was laughing my ass if at half the video

I lost 8000 geo to flukemons. I was in mid game and saving for unbreakable strength

These descriptions are just purely poetic. Bravo, Rusty.

When I'm in a bad mood this video always helps me out

I agree with all of these except Dirtcarver, shadow creeper, flukemon and fool eater Get gud skrub What about lance sentries

If is one is twelve, me after stepping into teemo's mushroom

And to say you did this hilarious video as a causal aside project? Very funny! :)

IM DYING AT THE SHADOW CREEPERS PART, I HAD TO PAUSE MY GAME BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH I WAS LAUGHING

Comedy gold

Overwatch is so toxic

Thing about dirtcarvers is that they’re completely helpless to the pogo technique (not that that’s always possible in the deepnest) (Oh, and fuckthedeepnestI’mgoinghome)

This is an old vid but I have no choice but to acknowledge the comedic genius of "The sound of someone enthusiastically unclogging a toilet." Bravo sir
