- This isn't even her final form...
This is Ascended difficulty where all attacks are double damage. Radiant difficulty is a true nightmare for Absolute Radiance. There are so many things that can go wrong.
As a side note, this is also pre-nerf where the orbs were glitched in the final phase. She also has slightly more health overall. - Ігри
path of pain but absolute radiance is following you the whole time
But Path of Pain 2.0 was already supposed to have Hive Knight vomit buzz saws instead of bees, Crystal Guardian and his family shooting lasers non-stop, and Marmu chasing you. I suppose Absolute Radiance can shoot javelins too.
Jesus man, don't give 'em more torture ideas for the next expansion lol
It needs all of them to one shot you to add more rage.
Path of Agony
Phoenix Heart exactly
When you realize your spending days possibly weeks fighting a virtual moth
I don't recall it taking that long. Even if that were the case though, all of us value different hobbies and forms of entertainment that bring us enjoyment.
It took me 2 days to beat poh after unlocking absolute radiance. The hard part was being able to get good at the real hardest fight pure vessel
@Random weeb gray prince zote too ?
@@ermond9667 gray prince zote is optional, and even then, he doesnt hold a metaphorical candle to those three, even though his statue holds a candle
I have no regrets
1:05 Absolute Radiance just ate half of that guy's health like it was nothing but an average Tuesday's breakfast.
It's ascended so it's expected
The chef had to prepare more using the souls of innocent beings!
To be honest, it was tasty.

Hello moth momma.
Can you teach meh ur ways..?
Fluff.
honestly his only saving grace is that he wasnt overcharmed bc that would've taken 8 masks in a single hit.
Seeing "is kinda crazy" on a non-modded boss is cursed now.
Haha, it's from waaaaay back in the day before modded versions were available.
Looking at this last phase hurts.
Other than the glitched orbs it's not too terrible. But it's easy to make a mistake after everything you did to get to the last part. Case in point, final phase death on radiant difficulty. :)
I'm just trying to beat the fifth pantheon but damn those orbs are destroying me. I just can't find a way to properly dodge them, even less after the rest of the pantheon.
From my experience, it would be easier to just stay on one side and wait for the Radiance to come to you, hit it a few times (I usually manage 2) and then get right back to dodging.
Yeah it is horrible (Nice icon)
Honestly it’s the easiest. It’s one attack repeatedly. Part 2 is crazy hard though
in awe of the size of this lad, absolute radiance
underrated comment
It's a lass though
Hollow knight has become a game for machosist
Now if only we could have the knight impale itself with its nail like the Hollow Knight...
oh yeah good point and it work as a taunt and damage 2 mask lol
tell team cherry to do it
why i cant tag people in comment wtf youtube
CrankyTemplar that’s how White Castle felt like
Its just 2-d metroidvania dark souls with a newgrounds game no one has played. Ever
How to make it even harder: radiance does contact damage.
*Absolute Radiance is kinda crazy he says*
*takes most of his damage from fall*
Yes I did
Rawin Tay yes I did
*fall damage is kinda crazy*
@@ultimatepronoob7320 Me fighting Markoth in the 5th pantheon
I know it's supposed to be challenging but having to go through so many bosses and have to fight one which is so much more different and can easily kill you is horrible
Some abilities can combo to be extremely difficult to dodge and the speed makes it difficult to react in time. It's slowly coming together but it will require a good amount of practice and/or luck for a radiant difficulty kill.
Listen to me CrankyTemplar, you can absolutely do this. It's hard, and the combos will make you mad, but it is doable. Trust me.
Thanks for the encouragement! I have reached the final phase on radiant difficulty so just got to play a little better. :)
Welcome to Kirby
@@ultraprincesskenny6790 ?
Looking back on this, it's crazy how far the community's come.
Just remembering discussions of boss difficulty before Godmaster, like NKG versus Vanilla Radiance, really drives that home. The community as a whole has got much better at the game.
4 mask damage nani
Ascended difficulty doubles the damage the boss does.
The game: "Congratulations! Now beat it with 1 mask"
Nice touch at the end
@@CrankyTemplar the radiant difficulty is worse. You die in one hit. Period.
You haven't fought grey rince zote, huh? ;)
Now do It overchamed
I managed to beat her on Radiant difficulty recently.
Took me 98 attempts. 50 on one day, 48 the next day. It was torturous, but I know I was the only one at fault for my various failed attempts.
I'm stubborn and determined...if I really want to do something, I will go through the pain it takes to do it.
And what was that for?...
Bragging rights, basically.
Congrats on beating her!
*now do **_Ultimatum Radiance_*

@@dedo9990 damn, your profile pic encapsulates that feeling perfectly
That name is way cooler than it should be, like, something about "absolute radiance" just sounds.... Epic? Godly? Definetly how a superboss name should sound like.
Absolute Radiance is literally a goddess though?

Totally the Radiance
@@articdrugs1061 That's so Radiance
@@maegarciafuentes3182 Every boss in the game is a god, she ain't even remotely special.
cody schreyack That is what Godseekers think. I don’t think Massive Moss Charger is a God tbh
i don't wanna play anymore
I don't think kind of crazy is enough to describe this boss.
1:19 love the matching music.
In a previous life, the Radiance lived in a little place called Gensoukyou...
that's an odd way to spell gensokyo
Wait, isn't that just Wriggle?
And in another life the Radiance once ruled as a king in Anor Londo
Welllll... the inevitable happens, age of fire dies out and all of that life the radiance just reflected in this life as well mostly.
The Radiance the sun
Gwyn also technically one.
But before so she was just a moth consuming energy from a lamp
The Radiance was secrectly Utsuho
Can beat Pure Vessel and NKG in Radiant, still can't get attuned for this boss. I think I lack the patience to fight her. Her orbs home amazingly well and they move very fast. Sometimes the screen brightness will make the orbs almost impossible to see. On top of that, her second form has very few perfect windows to get hits in.
They need to fix her final form because those glitching orbs are bullshit.
The beta patch for PC fixes the orbs but I'm not sure when it'll be released. This boss is viewed by a lot of folks as difficult and annoying so you're in good company. Hopefully it is a little less crazy in the future. Best of luck with your boss fights!
They can keep everything else the same about her, just those glitched orbs on form 3 are what bug me. Nothing quite like seeing it form on the other platform then suddenly appear right in front of you.
What was the orb glitch?
@@adiemus7155 When the orbs appear, they have a graphic that telegraphs where they're coming from on the screen (Shimmering light). When the orbs were glitching, that graphic would appear at multiple places, then shoot an orb out from the first graphic that started shimmering first on the screen. It was confusing, and sometimes it would seem like the orbs would just appear out of no where. You could be dodging the orbs fine up until the final form, then suddenly one would just appear out right in front of you and give you no time to try to dodge it.
Same (except I have only beaten ascended Pure Vessel and I haven't beaten NKG in godhome yet)

that final phase though
goodbye 107+%
Erik Ghostwood and the crew I think the max is 112%, currently on 111%
Cookie Cat No its 113%
Max is 112%, absrad and pantheon 5 do not count in any way, shape, or form for percentage, just gives an achievement.
You know its an old crankytemplar video when it shows a challenge a human being can actually do
This is beyond fair, challenging, and pain
i always keep this phase slow only to hear 2:15 , best part of the theme
This is giving me anxiety just by watching it.
geez how far you've gotten since this. This is just absolute radiance, did you ever think you would get to ultimatum radiance or any of the other boss challenges?
Nope, when I first started Hollow Knight challenges I didn't think I could get to where I am now. But it just goes to show how well you can improve with practice.
I'm rather proud of my reaction time, but christ, those lasers on the stairway (plus the first of each set of 3) make me want to beg for an extra handful of milliseconds.
This reminds me of everything I hate about Monday.
Personally, the first phase where she's on the ground is slightly challenging but doable. The hardest part is that second phase with the platforms, which is also the part I hate. If you're really lucky, she would always be above a platform, but if not, she's constantly teleporting to hard-to-reach places and the edge of the arena. Very RNG based, not something I appreciate.
As for the final phase, it's really not too hard. The orbs actually despawn if they go off screen, and you don't have to follow the radiance as she will naturally teleport to the middle or to the platform you're at, so focusing on dodging the orbs should be your priority, then hitting her only when she's near.
Overall, really challenging fight. Kinda wish any bullets that spawn from her sprite are actually more visible, cuz even with my brightness lowered, it's still really hard to see them. But this is definitely doable considering I've killed her. As for that final pantheon...idk if I actually want to do it, considering the insanity she'll give me, despite managing to proceed all the way to her in the final pantheon on my best attempt.
Practice her on attuned until you feel comfortable with her attacks and confident you can beat her at the end of the final pantheon. It may take some tries but you'll get it. Good luck!
Thanks! Hopefully so haha. I took quite awhile to nail down Pure Vessel. I hope I can do this :>
And I actually beat the final pantheon! :D
Congrats! Enjoy the ending and then the wait begins for Hornet DLC!
:D Thanks! ^-^ I got really lucky during the fight because as soon as she started her second phase, she teleported to the platform I was on and I was able to score 10+ hits on her. She then teleported to the platform above and I managed to end the phase there and then. She was only shooting holy orbs so it was a very, very lucky seed.
There are so many difficult things about this boss. First, the homing missiles don't despawn for ages so when there's 4 chasing you it's so hard to dodge. Second, when he does multiple attacks at the same time, in which is becomes almost impossible to see what's going on. Third, the nails that come out of the ground - absolute radiance may combine this with a sideways nail attack or the big beam of light which is just so hard. Fourth, you lose 2 hearts to pretty much everything so it's as if you have 5 hearts without extra heart charms. Fifth, he has so much health so you have to stay alive for so long. He's so difficult!
1:12 is that the Crystal Guardian’s roar?
Yes
@@Overqualification
It actually makes sense since the Wanderer's Journal book establishes a connection between the radiance and the Crystal Peak' crystals
@@DementedDuskull Well yeah I thought that was obvious with the lasers it shoots.
Wow. The good ol days when AbsRad was considered extremely hard.
The start of something crazy...
How far we’ve come…
Oh please, I'm stuck on grey prince zote when he does 5 hearts of damage.
What a cool and fun-looking modded boss! If only this was in the actual game!
*wait…*
Took me 3 hours nonstop to beat him on radiant difficulty. I got the hang of phase 1 and 3 pretty quick, but there are so many things that can go wrong on phase 2 like attacks stacking giving you no chance of dodging.
Congrats!
sorry to correct but the radiance has been confirmed to be female
3 hours?!! Goddamn, I've been trying for god knows how long at this point and still cant finish it. Gg grats
Now Imagine
Doing absolute radiance
On Ascended
Whilst overcharmed
It's basically radiant but you can take some more hits
Wait lemme do the math cuz im fucking dumb
Overcharm = 2x dmg
Radiance = 2 Masks of dmg
Ascended ver. = 2x dmg
Holy shit that’s just Radiant version with extra steps with Based on Cranky’s health bar
Edit: wait no that’s 2 hits before he dies
Any radiance: allow me to introduce myself
Damn you, Pantheon of Hallownest!
That's too much, man!
im not satisfied about absolute radiance fight because its completely same fight but just faster
The overlap is the bullsh*t. Even with Grimm you´re only dealing with one attack at a time, she can have, like, 5 attack on screen simultaneously.
i havent got to fight him yet but yea, its bullsht
I think that they should've just put in the vanilla Radiance fight but add new attacks to make it feel fresh instead of just the same old fight but faster and with a small new phase.
Regular Radiance is kind of crazy
did you know you can shade cloak into the spikes to make them disappear?
you have to dash very close to them if you dont want to take damage
Meanwhile I’m at attempt 650+ keep dying at phases 2, 4, 5, and 6
And here i am, dying by husks.
I'm still trying to unlock her in the hall, but Ascended Markoth>Grey Prince Zote>Nightmare King Grimm combo in the 5th pantheon is kicking my ass
I have no idea why but Markoth is a nightmare during the pantheon
Honey, you got a big storm coming.
For a second I thought this was the normal absolute radiance but there is some more in this
I like the intro of the fight.
thinking about my life choices before going through the last pantheon and fighting this beast and than dying 50 times against this in the pantheon.... it looks hard but its even harder knowing that you get to this after fighting all the bosses in the game buffed
2:56 Tha ball charges on the left but appears on the center
Seems fair
The orbs were glitched in showing where they were spawning initially, but it's been fixed.
I encountered a glitch while training against the Radiance, if you split her fight in 6 phases the glitch happened in phase 3. I was 1 hit away from dying after completing phase 3 but for some reason while the radiance was still on the floor, a row nails that she rains down in phase 3 still appeared when it wasn't supposed to since the radiance is down and was ready to transition to the 4th phase but I end up getting killed by those out of nowhere nails but after I appeared back the hall of Gods but the screen never stopped shaking after I died. I left the hall of Gods the screen still shook, I left godhome the screen still shook, I entered a fifth with the PV the screen continued to shake it was only after I entered the fight against the Absolute Radiance again did the screen stop shaking. It was cool to encounter this glitch but it just got in the way of what I was doing.
Empress of Light in the day be like
You took damage!? How dare you
No cap this fight be built like empress of light
Is there a way you have found to reliably dodge the first of the "tri beams". I dont know if my reflexes simply arent fast enough or if there is something I should be looking out for that Im not doing. If by luck the first one doest hit me the other two are predictable but if im standing where the first one hits im probably getting damaged. I got to her on PoH all bindings but Im about to quit because I feel it is completely luck based on this particular attack
I haven't found a trick for the first laser. Whenever she teleports an attack is coming (or a second or two after an attack finishes) so I just try to be ready to move if I see lasers. I still get hit by lasers so it's not 100% successful.
CrankyTemplar thanks. I figured im going to practice her on ascended until I beat her 50/50 and then try PoH again
which charms are you using ? just curious im trying the ascended with (stalwart shell, unbreakable strength, mark of pride and lifeblood core) no luck yet
I'm using Quick Slash/Mark of Pride/Unbreakable Strength/Longnail. I kind of started using Longnail with radiant Collector and have been slow to switch it back to joke charms. There are also other good options to switch it out for.
i see ... longnail + mark of pride on radiance seens pointless since you have to jump to hit him on phase 1 regardless of the combo and on phase 2 and 3 you pretty much attack at melee range the entire time, if you are going for radiant dificult i would suggest something to maximase your damage, glowing womb or grimmchild (since radiance stand still for every attack anyway) seens good options i think but its all just a guess im not a "pro" on the game i just trying to finish it so i need to train on radiant "ascended" so when the time comes i can deal with him after pure vessel, if im wrong just let me know xD
You're correct Longnail isn't too handy on Radiance (the only benefit is that you don't need to jump for 1-2 platforms in P3 if you stand perfectly under her). I'm not a fan of pet charms so I tend to not use them, though they can be useful. I know dreamshield can block her orbs if it impacts against it. Grubberfly is popular for radiant difficulty because of the range and constant uptime.
There are many good charms, but I played quite a few no charm runs so I'm not used to really experimenting with charms. I also really don't want to overcharm (though I have experimented with some charm builds that overcharmed me).
CrankyTemplar my current build for Radiance is Quick slash, unbreakeabel strengh, shaman stone, longnail. But I always die in the last phase
@@mathiswagner8472 are you playing with the beta patch which fixes the orbs (not an option for the Switch currently)? That last phase is pretty rough after everything else but you can pogo Radiance and once the orbs go above the screen they should be gone for good. Or you can try and bait them into hitting a platform. If you're hitting that last phase consistently then don't give up - you're almost there! Good luck!
This is the sort of game that I would be good at, i'ma try it out
How did it go?
That was rad
I see what you did there. Very illuminating.
A really bright joke indeed
I was starting to sweat at the end....
Not sure if people know but she doesn't deal any contact damage so you can pogo on her head which might make parts of the fight a little easier and might make it go a little faster.
That's a good thing to point out. I think pogoing Radiance isn't too helpful as it'll put you in a bad place for lasers and javelins spawning from her. But if one can make it work then that's great!
Radiance:exists
Shade lord:I'm about to end this woman's whole career😈
At the end. You just flew away fats as you can :DD
It's so weird seeing you fight absolute radience and beating her asc 1st time, even I have just done her radient and u have done fucking anyrad, y rlly have gotten super good
The strongest attack is the one where the screen fills with void
Right now I am suffering from a glitch on PS4 where the black smoke from below suddenly engulfs the entire screen, killing me. Did anyone here experience the same?
If you get too high in the platform phase there's a glitch where it thinks you've reached the climbing phase when you haven't. The void covers the screen and you'll eventually die. If that's what's happening don't try to jump above the screen during that phase.
absolute radiance: sans get out of my way
hi all powerfull god crankytemplar what build of charms did you use in this Absolute Radiance Ascended difficulty it wold reely help me
Good day! No need for flattery good sir, I see this is one of the few videos where I did not show charms at the end and I don't remember exactly what I used.
Generally though, fragile/unbreakable strength is excellent. Quick Slash is decent but not necessary, Mark of Pride is handy of you like range charms (not needed but I like to use it). If you use spells I highly recommend Shaman Stone as Abyss Shriek does a lot of damage on this fight. That works well with a nail build, although Spell Twister or Soul Catcher/Soul Eater can be good if you have space.
Best of luck beating her!
Soo, how do you reliably dodge the fast lasers on the way up? That's where I'm stuck at right now.
You'd want to ascend when the laser is shooting elsewhere or jump and dash to the next platform (making sure you aren't dashing into a laser or that if you dash through the laser your shade dash is up). Good luck! That phase was annoying to die on.
Thanks!
Absolute Radiance *except* Nightmare God Grimm is there *except* a second Radiance and a third Grimm appear in the last phase *except* the final phase only has one platform
Well, the Ultimatum Radiance mod does go with one platform in the final phase and puts spikes on it.
Any radiance:excuse me are you talking about my lesser evolutions?
absolute radiance...
nah, i had to write somethin' but i forgot, as always
Welcome to my personal hell
how do you unlock this in the pantheon? I've defeated radience and completed the game but this isn't unlocked for me
Once you reach Absolute Radiance in the final pantheon you'll unlock her statue in the hall of gods whether you win or lose.
@@CrankyTemplar oh gotcha.
Do you have any advice for the last 2 phases of this fight? I recently encountered this boss in PoH and can get through the first four phases consistently, but get almost instantly yeeted by the fifth.
Jumping to the side and dashing on to the platform you want is effective. I’ve also seen people jump edge to edge and dash if the laser appears on them. I had a hard time climbing up the platforms too, but with practice it becomes do able
Really, I'm more worried about having to fight the pure vessel, and Nightmare King Grimm in such a close interval of time.
True, the last leg of P5 is rough.
>Four Masks per hit
FUCKING WHAT?
Any radiance: “ *PATHETIC* “
Crazy
I can't even focking beat the pure vessel in the 5th pantheon fml
edit: I focking unlocked AR!
Congrats! Good luck with Absolute Radiance!

Already beat her :D
Congrats!
Thanks, tho i'll never be as good as you lul
I’ve only been able to beat her once :p (it was in p5, dunno how, so… got the achievement!)
Back when this was actually crazy.
Oro + Mato: Surprisingly hard but can be learned. Sheo: Ez. Sly: Pretty hard until you get used to his patterns. Pure Vessel: Pretty ez lol. NKG and regular Radiance: Pretty ez lol. Absolute Radiance: FUCKING SAVAGE PIECE OF SHIT I CAN HARDLY EVEN BEAT IT ON ATTUNED AAAHHH ITS SO HARD
Absolute Radiant is definitely the hardest boss, especially with the length of the fight.
Radiance is not defeated yet so if you defeat bosses on ascended difficulty you can play on radiance ascended one but ascended is renamed Absolute
Does anyone else watch these videos while actively playing?
I finally beat the pantheon of Hallownest. After months of trying and struggling. I can die now. It was good knowing you all. Farewell
Congrats on beating the Pantheon of Hallownest! Hopefully you revive in time for Silksong.
@@CrankyTemplar You bet !
holy fuck did i just see one hit doing 4 damage?! also that last phase looks impossible to do radiant difficulty honestly
Ascended difficulty doubles the damage the boss does.
well now I just have to complete p5

Regular radiance isn't like this right? I just beat the white palace and now I'm even more scared
No, regular Radiance is a good bit slower. This version is at the end of the final pantheon of Godhome.

I cant even beat regular radiance...
Why u no use spells
Spells are always the way to cheese most games bcoz so much dmg
i cant even beat the normal one
At this point I just feel like Team Cheery tries to make Hollow Knight the toughest game in game history or something.
Cuphead? Souls series?
Nah, those are for rookies...
To this date I still have no idea why anyone could say Orphan of Kos is the toughest boss or something.
He is actually really really easy....
If I can beat it in first try or 2nd try even in NG+++, then there's no merit that it is that hard of a boss.
I can agree that hollow Knight is a tough game, but there are different levels of toughness on games, this one is very reflexive, but before all, toughness is very relative, if someone is befriended with metroidvania style games, hollow Knight is pretty easy even in the hardest bosses and levels, depends of everyone

Now go play it right now! It's free!
