* LightningBruiser: All the Knights, even Hegemol, are exceptionally quick on their feet. The faster ones can also FlashStep. Special mention goes to Dryya, who is almost always swinging her nail at you throughout the fight, forcing you to get creative to find ways to safely get your own damage in.

* ConfusionFu: As her title would imply, Mysterious Ze'Mer uses confusing attack telegraphs and unconventional movement in her fighting style.
* CombatPragmatist: [[spoiler:Tiso's shield lets him maneuver around your attacks in more ways than one. Its boomerang and crossbow functionalities allow him to strike from afar, and he can maneuver around the battlefield using it as a glider. He can even summon bombs to rain destruction on the battlefield while he takes cover.]]

Added DiffLines:

* MightyGlacier: Hegemol is the embodiment of this trope. Not only do his direct attacks deal double damage, he also uses his immense strength to send shockwaves and rubble all across the screen, making his fight surprisingly difficult to navigate. It also helps that he has the largest health pool of any of the knights, only aided by the fact that he tends to leave himself open for (barely) longer than any of the other knights.


Added DiffLines:

* SupportPartyMember: Of the Five Great Knights, Isma fills this role. She does her best to keep out of your reach throughout her fight, striking with long-range attacks and traps. In fact, she never fights on her own; she fights you alongside some Greenpath enemies [[spoiler: and alongside Loyal Ogrim in her Champion's Call fight]].

* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:Tiso's battle ends with a Brooding Mawlek trying to drop on him, only for him to dodge it and instead blast it to pieces with his shield.]]


Added DiffLines:

* MultiMeleeMaster: Reconciling the fact that he's not shown with a weapon and the False Knight using a mace, Hegemol uses his own mace with a more ornate design than the bug his maggot impostor used as a mace head as well as punching the ground with his own two fists to create shockwaves, in place of False Knight's tantrum-induced slamming.

But what were they like, back in their prime? What if the little ghost could face them as they were when they lived? This mod provides an answer, in the form of dream boss fights with the Knights. Isma may be found in her grove, Dryya outside the White Lady's hut, Hegemol at his statue at the entrance to the City of Tears, and Ze'mer in the Grey Mourner's hut in the Resting Grounds. There's also a new platforming segment in the Abyss.

Abyss, and a secret boss in Godhome.



* ImprobableWeaponUser: [[spoiler: Tiso's shield. It's not just the boomerang shield shown in the sketch shown by his creator. It also can transform into a gun, and it's center can form a lance-like spike.]]



* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: [[spoiler: Tiso's presence as an added bossfight in Godhome was not alluded to ''at all'' in any of the trailers.]]



* SuperStrength: Dryya, Hegemol, and Ze'mer are strong enough to create shockwaves when striking the ground. Hegemol's attacks can also shake debris loose from the ceiling that the Knight must avoid.

* StrongAndSkilled: Hegemol has the same girth and raw strength as the False Knight did with Hegemol's armor. However, the False Knight uses unwieldy leaping to get around and tantrum-like attacks. Hegemol is more precise with his jumps, can actually run, and his controlled strikes are much more dangerous.

A fanmade Hollow Knight DLC in the style of ''Hidden Dreams'' and ''The Grimm Troupe''. Long ago, when the Kingdom of Hallownest was at its peak, five knights loyally served the Pale King: loyal Ogrim, kindly Isma, fierce Dryya, mighty Hegemol, and mystic Ze'mer. All have gone their separate ways since the kingdom has collapsed; Dryya and Isma died, Hegemol's shell was stolen by a maggot, Ze'mer lost her mantis lover and faded into the Grey Mourner, and Ogrim retreated to the sewers to guard Isma's Grove. Only Ogrim can be fought, as the Dung Defender and White Defender.

The rewards for these fights are mod-original charms.

!Pale Tropes
* AntiFrustrationFeatures: After each boss fight, there's a line that hints about where one of the other bosses is located- especially useful for Hegemol, since he doesn't have a corpse that can be Dream Nailed.
* BossRush: Godhome has an opportunity to challenge all five Knights sequentially, accessed by sitting on the Pale King's throne to "answer the Champion's call."
* DualBoss: [[spoiler: In the Champion's Call, Ogrim and Isma fight together. They can also interact with each other's attacks, like Isma pogo-ing Ogrim's dung balls.]]
* GreenThumb: Most of Isma's attacks involve plants; she lashes out with vines, throws thorny plant bombs at the Knight, her arena has Fool Eaters on the ground, and so on.
* LightningBruiser: All the Knights, even Hegemol, are exceptionally quick on their feet. The faster ones can also FlashStep.
* MasterSwordsman: Dryya and Ze'mer both fight with their nails. Not only can they slash quickly in multiple patterns and parry attacks, but their larger slashes are also powerful enough to leave lingering hitboxes across the arena.
* ThePowerOfLove: [[spoiler: Ze'mer's Godhome-exclusive second phase is marked in the Champion's Call by delicate flowers growing in the arena, hinting that the memory of her love gives her the will to fight on. She then proceeds to turn into a teleporting blender of lighting-fast nail attacks.]]
* SuperStrength: Dryya and Hegemol are strong enough to create shockwaves when striking the ground. Hegemol's attacks can also shake debris loose from the ceiling that the Knight must avoid.
