I explored all acceptable charms using research, coordinations, and combinations, starting from the tank-build of all possible Lifeblood hearts. Later, to increase the survival rate and damage output, I tried out Quickslash and Unbreakable Strength… After much research, I finally settled on a protective build and chose Unbreakable Heart, Baldur’s Shell, Carefree Melody, and Soul Eater… then I made an Excel sheet to input data, and opened up the debug to see what kind of success rate was necessary to get to the climbing stage (limit to hits received, limit to Carefree Melody uses, limit to Baldur Shell uses, under the worst-case assumption that I wouldn't be able to heal, etc; the maximum hits I could receive came out to 9-10 times, 8 times if I got lucky; max 2 uses of Carefree Melody, 3 times if I got lucky; and as for Baldur shell, it wasn’t so simple as using it whenever the lasers started focusing, and then saying “if I get hit then I get hit,” haha.)

For the full-screen spikes stage, Any Radiances’ lasers failed three consecutive times (though it’s not a big deal even if they did have an effect; it’s really just about slamming yourself down as per usual haha.) 2. In the second stage, you’ll see multiple splashes from a single Desolate Dive; this is a bug with the dive itself, and seems to deal damage multiple times to nearby enemies… but this is actually an absolute debuff, because each Dive splash is only worth 15 points in damage (the final stage of the Ddive,) and will severely throw off my coordination / rhythm. If the invincibility/immobility frames overlap, then this will even cancel out my down-attack and healing abilities. Taking damage during this bug will eliminate the issue, but once it appears in the MOD then it becomes more and more fequent, and will require exiting to the menu to reset the MOD. - Regarding the cover art and BGM: I’m not sure who the creators are *awkward smile* if you guys get angry at me for not receiving permission to use your art, I’m very very sorry *cries* I’ll change it - Thanks: Thank you so much to everyone for watching! *tears* - In a small voice: If my intro is to long, will anyone read it…?

You're insane. I would have never thought someone would get past the climb phase but you found a way, and I almost can't believe that you did. Also if anyone is curious I believe these were their charms: Carefree Melody, Baldur Shell, Fragile / Unbreakable Heart, Soul Eater

@@knowone2240 Idk. This video seems like there’s no cheats. He’s clearly taking damage, and CM RNG cheats are near impossible to prove, unless they happened all the time. He may have cheated, but he’s skilled as hell. We should still acknowledge his achievements
This video is legit and I agree. I was thinking the whole time damn dude you didn’t need to cheat you’re literally perfect at this game. Felt a bit of sadness, what a shame
As far as I know, the counter resets when you die, but this doesn't happen when you die in dreams (including all of Godhome), since you don't _actually_ die and so the hit counter continues.
It was definitely this video that started the growth. Jngo (Bob Fred), creator of AnyRad is to blame for sharing this video on the Hollow Knight discord
So THIS is cotton! Even tho I’m technically Chinese, I get almost all my HK content from UA-cam, and had been wondering who this cotton guy was. Nice job with the radiance tho
This is my prime example of when someone says someone is bad at the game if they cheat or there to good to cheat, because he is unDOUBTEDLY an amazing player, I would say one of the best in the world but sometimes a goal you want is so difficult that try after try after try you resort to bad methods like cheating, even then I respect you cotton 😁
It makes me really sad that he cheated because now I don't know which of his amazing achievements are legit. He could have been one of the greats, but now he trashed his reputation. If he had only uploaded this, he still would have had some serious clout because he's the only one who has pulled it off.
Hunthussle commented and said that almost all of his videos (if not all) were legit except for the p5 controversy, and considering he came back, either he's trying to gain more fame with the cheating controversy, but I don't think so considering he already made his life a nightmare with the cheating, if he's gonna become a good person and apologize for his mistakes, I would definitely subscribe again.
this isn't what any% is. Any% is a type of speedrun used to refer to completing a game by doing any amount of things. For example, in Hollow Knight, charms count towards percentage, but speedrunners obviously don't get all of the charms in the game, so they don't get that percentage.
Anyone knows the sauce for the musics used? I can tell they're Undertale covers, but I know there's no hecking way I could find a specific one among those thousands covers out there without knowing their name.
Think it's a bug because it's a modded boss Doubt it's a hack considering it hurts him and the likely hood that it's caused by a hack is just as good as it being caused by the mod which we know is there (obviously)
It's a contact damage glitch from ultimatum radiance that happens to be present in this fight (alongside a bunch of other bugs). Anyrad is just what happened when a modder decided to change random values from ultrad for sh*ts and giggles

I never thought someone would use carefree melody in anything.
I didn't get why he took baldur's shell at first, then I saw that truly impossible climbing phase. There's absolutely no escape from damage at there.
