16:03 I blacked out. No idea how I didn't get hit there. Anyways, timestamps for specific bosses in description.
EDIT: I forgot Flukemarm, but... I don't think anyone needs tips for that one, so. Meh.
Great video
Yikes, my ass clenched just looking at that
You just wanted absolute radiant to shave your butt hairs for you
Something important to note:
When fighting the mawlek you can just use grubbersfly elegy (I don’t know if I wrote that right) and beat the crap out of him, at that point the only thing to worry about in that fight is the flying goo, but that shouldn’t be to difficult to dodge.
How do you forget the sexy beast
When I did radiant marmu, my final hit traded with her, which killed me, but the game was generous enough to give me the win anyways
NANI
*her
I’ve done that with a couple bosses, usually with minions involved. It depends on how long the bosses death animation is, i beat white defender after i died, but my minions killing pure vessel after i died didnt count. It’s kinda weird.
Marmu radiant fight for me is the weirdest one. I just hit my nail up the entire fight without moving and somehow win her. And I somehow was able to replicate it before but not anymore. I really don't know if that was just luck or an exploit that I somehow found out before.
That’s an epic gamer moment right there

"Clearing the entire hall of gods took me 6 days, 5 of which were spent on GPZ, Markoth, and AbsRad." I've never felt a statement more.
Yeah but how did he do pure vessel and nkg in a day
Also I think it was
1 day gpz
2 days absolute radiance
100 days markoth
Actually I since did radiant markoth and it's not hard, you just have to adopt a completely different charm build and play style than you would've had
@@bgmarshall My question is, because i've havent try it get... if you lose to one of the final bosses, you start all over again?? how is that it took you to 2 days to beat absolute radiance alone, or you were starting all over again and again constantly?
@@maximilianomichell3596 ?
That was 1:a joke and 2:you just do the fight in the hall of gods over and over, this isn't hitless p5
Think he said weeks
9:30 "everyone probably already knows this" y-yeah, totally! Desolate Dive is my main attack, I absolutely never forget it even exists noooo
I pay so little attention to spells that I forgot I never got Abyss Shriek until I started trying to do Radiant Flukemarm
@@aaronking2020 You make that sounds as if Radiant Flukemarm isn't one of the easiest Radiant fights in the HoG.
@@aaronking2020 just use grubberflys elegy, quickslash, mark of pride, and unbreakable strength, and stand to the immediate left or right of her and spam. Just keep pressing x(or whatever button you use to attack) until she dies.
Tip: Grubberfly’s Elegy works as a supplement to fragile strength in fights with larger enemies such as Abs Rad of Failed Champion since you can’t take damage and lose it. Combining them means you shred through some bosses with 48 damage per hit and quick slash combined.
Grubberfly’s takes very very specific positioning along with mark of pride in order to stack with normal attacks, i tested it myself. You must hit with the tip of the pixel of the sword for the projectile to not go through the enemy you just slashed and deal no extra damage. Generally this means that unbreakable strength is better since you always deal 50% more damage per hit, grubberflies is only better against bosses that you need to time your hits for (since you can spam), or ones that you want to hit with the tip, pogoing being the most common scenario for this (markoth is the best example of both of these, although nailmasters is the best option for his fight).
@@warriordinag3921 grubberflys is the reason I managed to beat radient absrad. It is just a 1.5 nail damage multiplier to enemies with a big enough hitbox. Now you are probably saying I should have just used unbreakable strength, but grubberflys gave me the extra range I needed to hit absrad more than usual. I could have used shade soul, but I was saving my soul for abyss shriek and desolate dive.
Yeah that charm breaks some fights in half, especially Flukemarm who becomes so easy you just stand still and attack
@@spectralaria8648 I tested grubberflys against gruz mother, and it only ever dealt extra damage if i hit with the tip of my sword, otherwise it would pass through the whole boss without any extra damage. Ill go test it against a bigger boss and see if there’s any change.
@@spectralaria8648 After more testing, it seems that the projectiles only stack if the enemies hitbox is big enough to reach where the projectile ends, or if it doesn’t reach where it begins. Either way, it seems that the 50% power boost is inconsistent unless you are fighting a massive boss or you have a range increasing charm of some sort, which if you do the range for stacking the hit and the projectile is much larger. Knowing this it seems the best build for this would be quick slash, longnail, grubberflys AND strength unless you wanna overcharm for radiant fights, in which you’d want to get mark of pride instead of longnail. The actual difference in damage with longnail equipped is ridiculous, your dps becomes insanely high. With a calculator it seems that the dps is around 220, assuming that quick slash swings are four per second, which is enough to kill uumuu in 1.5 seconds. Please go back and try grubberflys with longnail, it becomes way more useful.
You CAN NOT talk about massive moss charger without flexing your insane writing skills huh? 😉
and we should be thankful for that
in that regard, rusty has heavy english major vibes
when he got to MMC i was confused at first with his movement.... of course he was trolling.
I've tried Defender's Crest on Broken Vessel and Lost Kin, and it actually does a pretty good job at killing those little globs of infection all around the screen.
The problem I have the most with using Defender's Crest is that the smell is following you as you move, it is not surrounding your entire body at all time. Therefore, when you moving really fast around to avoid the attacks and attacks Broken Vessel/Lost Kin, chances are you going to get hit by them if they are immediately in the direction that you are moving.
Yeah, you can heal safely with it without worrying about the globs.
@@anhuynhpc the main use of the Defenders crest in those two fights (at least for me) is to allow healing when your opponent is staggered. while healing, you stand still and all the blobs float to you, and Defenders crest does good enough job at disposing of them. and the fact it gets you rid of the blobs in the fight while the enemy is fighting is more or less just a benefit.
What is the point when you can just nail them in 1 hit to get their soul and then heal
There isnt much time wasted killing the blobs and you get extra soul
@@jamclone True, but diverting your attention to more than one target can get somewhat difficult for some people. Especially in Hollow Knight. You have to train your eyes on more than just the boss.
Just started my hollow knight journey, tbh you sold me on it
Good. Keep going.
Why hello there burn, nice to see you here
Once you've finished it once. Steel soul is a hard shitshow. Trust me. Keep on trying with it
@@croquettes1937 use fragile heart, ignore divine

@4D1N or you could just.. nail slash?
@@aaronking2020 it also gives you i frames which is nice
Best tip for Radiant Absolute Radiance:
*Give up*
Hey hey, I did it and I suck at this game, so anyone can do it. It only took me about 40 hours of dedicated effort! 👍
WHY DO I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE
I get around A LOT 😁
@@blazethegame My wings help me travel to many videos very fast

"The longer your nail, the better" -Rusty
😏
You mean ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
no
7:05 Did you just call my main loadout a build for noobs? I'm offended.
big mood
I use that build for pantheon of hallownest
Honestly I think that is a pretty solid build. Mine is just a variation of it where I take out Sharp Shadow to put on Heart, and take out Mark of Pride and put on Long Nail with Steady Body. I use this set because I have a really nail aggressive playing style, so I will just go in and nail blazing the entire pantheon. If it was radiant fight though, I would mix them all around and use a set that I think would be best for the fight. Generally though I will still use this set as it covered most of the bosses for me anyway, except Heart, because it is useless in Radiant.
He calls that build the noob build yet he advises spamming spells. Ok
@@Brst4410 spamming spells is easy win
Best tip for AbsRad: Use Descending Dark on her floor spikes. I've lost many fights to her camping on top of her floor spikes, leaving me no chance to damage her, and eventually get hit due struggling to balance dodging while finding an opportunity to damage her. Let that be a lesson for all bosses in general. The faster you kill the boss, the less opportunities there for to make mistakes.
The tried and true strategy of you can't kill me if you're dead
@@mr.mothlyOr the even truer strategy of you can’t hit me if i’m dumb enough to jump off the arena, Hitting myself.
Finally someone who appreciates just how great sharp shadow is.
Dude this charm is in my build and has been for 150+ hours
This charm sometimes gets much hate, glad to see people give it apreciation it deserves
it's a great charm for sure but kinda spoils us too. when doing the charmless binding for pantheon of the knight I couldn't believe how short my dash got keep getting impact damaged. for some reason pure vessel really has my number alot. especially on ascended
Basically: Sharpshadow to the win.
Ye, idk why but sharp shadow often gets much hate, tbh it's my favourite charm
@@littleskeleton420 I like it but I dont use it much because it dont work for me
@@littleskeleton420 the dash distance change is mostly why, especially since it's tied to a fix cool down rather than a player input
If you don't mind abusing a bug: enter attuned or ascended of any boss with fury of the fallen equiped, get to 1 hp, dream nail + up to exit the fight
You now have fury status until you rest or get hit (which you aren't allowed to do in radiant anyways)
Enter any radiant boss and enjoy the free damage.
Does this work for Abs Rad? Because holy crap that'll help me a ton in the 2nd or 3rd phase if you count the sword rain attack.
@@cameronbruning148 I haven't tried this bug in a while (due to gitting gud) so it might be patched, but when I last tried it did work for the Absolute Radiance fight, yes.
@@jythmivena6617 Thanks man, depending on if they patched it, this is gonna help me a ton.
Heh, imagine killing broken vessel on radiant and then getting hit by a infection blob and it doesn’t count
*Cries in a corner*
Radiant Marmu killed me and my Dream Shield killed her as I was dying. Apparently the game took pity on me and counted it as a win.
That happened with enraged guardian and it still counted, maybe because bv has a loner death animation
Broken Vessel is really easy though. Now if you were talking about Lost Kin, I'd understand.
You’re the one that got me into Hollow Knight Rusty!!! Thank to you I’ve found one of my favorite games of all time! (Currently on the 4th pantheon)
Ohh nice go get that bread
so did you do it? did ya become champion?
Just 100%ed the Hall of Gods about 10 minutes ago, and I couldn’t possibly be happier to be done with it. If you’re not a big spell user, here’s a few tips for Abs Rad:
-If you have Strength, Quick Slash, and Grubberfly Elegy, you can be dealing either 46 or 62 damage per hit, since some projectiles can hit twice.
-If you’re super brave, you can skip a ton of time on Phase 4 if you have the above load out. I waited for Abs Rad to teleport above a platform, and then keep my feet on the ground while spamming up slash. If you’re quick enough, she might only be able to teleport once or twice before going up.
-On her last phase, do NOT play aggressive, even if that’s your main play style. There’s nothing more embarrassing than dashing straight into an orb or mis-timing your double jump and falling into the void.
This boss took me 4 days to beat, compared to the 3 I took for every other boss combined. This is a patience test, because there are a ton of times where you’re going to die over something that’s way too difficult to dodge or read. Don’t be afraid to takes breaks, and you’ll beat her eventually.
I honestly would love a difficulty ranking for this, the radiant mechanics completely change the fights. Like Gruz mother becomes way harder because of the spikes, no eyes and Markoth become hell, meanwhile bosses like Traitor lord and enraged guardian drop down on the list because their damage is now equal to all other bosses

Edit: Holy shit, this comment got more likes than most of my videos. Thanks guys
gruz mother below nkg wtf man
I can already see ut in my sub feed
That's 100% high quality high effort video
Also hi T4co
@@Nylspider Hi Rubix o/
@@logizom5335 NKG and PV are fights where you're typically expected to not take too much damage anyways, lest you fall into a cascade of death, so their radiants are actually easier than bosses that hit you a lot but don't hit hard.
Ok so while this may be hard to pull off, THIS IS AN EXTREMELY HELPFUL tip for fighting grimm and maybe nkg. When he is in "pufferfish" mode you can actually shadow dash above him while avoiding the fire balls and pogo off his head at the right time and you can get a cheap hit when he stops. This helps get rid of the dodging part but it is very stressful and hard to pull off but it is so helpful!
Just another tip for failed champion is that when he is knocked down on his last phase DO NOT ATTACK HIM he will not get back up and you can effectively get infinite soul from him using the dream nail, Its especially helpful in the POH as NKG comes right after failed champ and having full health will increase your chance of beating him! Good luck
Ah, Rusty. You and your alliterations go together like Markoth and broken controllers. Or the Radiance and swear words. Or Flukemarm and strange Hall of Gods references to her sensuality. Take your pick.
Edit: Ay, thanks for the likes! 😁
Not the first to
Another strategy for Marmu: Long Nail, Mark of Pride and stay in a single corner. Everytime they come your direction hit them away from your corner by jumping toward them and slashing. Marmu's bouncing is much more predictable this way and you spend less time re-adjusting your positioning. Think of it like king of the corner, that corner is yours and if Marmu gets to close, you push them away.
Gonna try this, because Marmu is really annoying
Quickslash, Grubberfly’s elegy, Steady body, Strength + another charm works too. Stay in a corner and slash into the center without stopping and marmu should never be able to hit you (unless i got lucky) (Also this is the only scenario you should use steady body imo)
Man, GPZ took me like 3 attempts, was I just extremely lucky? On the other hand, I have 20+ attempts on oblobble and haven't beaten it yet .
GPZ took me probably close to 25 attempts. And that’s because I would hardly ever use DD when I was in a pickle. Oblobble I thought would take me awhile too but I believe that took me close to ten
It took me like twenty-thirty tries to beat GPZ and more like fifty for Oblobbles. And that to me was nothing because I spent around 20 hours, which probably mean around hundreds of attempts to beat Markoth. After like 2-3 weeks with many break days , I finally did it.
Bruh how
GPZ is the only boss I haven’t done on radiant
Except absolute radiance
I haven’t gotten her yet
An Huỳnh I just have Markoth, Oro/Mato, and Abs Rad left for Radiant
@@kingtreedede7303 My strategy for GPZ is just to attack once or twice and then DD to have invincibility. Repeat this until he dies. You should use a spell charm set for this strategy.
I thought you would just say ''This one is impposible, good luck.'' At Absolute Radiance
Your Bloodborne/Hollow Knight content is so helpful and I can tell how much work you put into your guides and videos :) just want to say thanks for the helpful info
Lol, I can't even beat the regular Mantis Traitor. I've stuck on him for days now, with Grimm whooping my ass in between ragequits.
Traitor Lord is an exercise in using the shade cloak effectively. The time between his attacks is perfectly in line with your shade cloak cooldown as mentioned in the video, so focus on dodging for a while and don't even bother attacking, once you get into the rhythm of the fight it becomes trivial. This is coming from someone who struggled massively with it when I first went through, but now I find him one of the easiest fights in the pantheons
@@hazelcalderbank1556 I'm not even in the pantheon! (Don't really know what it is anyway)
Attack with your nail so you can save up your soul; use Descending Dark to dodge his shockwaves. If you’re brave enough, equip Quick Slash to get multiple hits for each of his attacks; if you can manage to dodge everything without using the a Shade Cloak, you can pogo across his head when he charges, or walk straight under his dash-dive.
Using this strategy, Traitor Lord has become a complete pushover to me; even at this point, please don’t *ever* let your guard down. He *will* kill you if you give him the chance.
Edit: I mentioned Quick Slash in the first paragraph; as it turns out, you can actually get two slashes in *without* it. That said, Quick Slash could probably get you a third slash.
When he dashes laterally at you, pogo on his head and then desolate dive immediately. It does multiples of damage especially if he jumps afterwards. When he jumps, wait under him and quick slash like 3 times and await his next move. I usually get thru him with no hits with this strategy and I'm no expert at this game so I believe in you! Lol
People who say to dash with him are crazy. The time window with simply ore emptively jumping over him and then dashing is MUCH more forgiving as long as you’re holding the button down for max jump height.
If you’re dashing though him on the ground, sharp shadow on. If jumping over, sharp shadow off.
My recommendation for radiant markoth and how I beat them is I made a full spell build (spell twister soul catcher and eater, and shaman stone) and then I add nailmaster's glory and use exclusively great slash until phase 2 and then I have enough soul for 8 spells (soul twister) and the damage from shaman stone, so he has basically no health in phase 2
Also you can easily get 2 great slashes in before he starts attacking, and maybe 3 depending on his movement. Also great slash can get past the shield
Quick tip for pure vessel.
After every attack of his you can get in one to two hits. Dash through the daggers and jump over everything else. Every time after you attack you should jump. His three swipes attack will need a dash to clear. When he dashes at you don't pogo, just land and strike. When he does the blades from the ground it is easier to evade in the air because the blades are tapered and, you are more maneuverable in the air.
These tips are great, and I found that watching a speed runner can also help, particularly for some of the earlier bosses like hornet sentinel. This is because they have already figured out a solid method to finish the boss as fast as possible with their current load out to get the fastest times. By watching some speed runners like fireborn, I learned some great damage combos that I am using for bosses to be aggressive, yet safe while trying P5 with all bindings.For hornet sentinel, for example, while she is downed, you can hit her once directly, then immediately jump up and strike horizontally again. Your jump will meet her instant jump after you take her out of her downed phase. Then, immediately fire an abyss shriek and then hit her horizontally again when she lands on your other side. If you have extra soul, you can combo this last hit with a shade soul and that will knock her back, possibly hitting her twice. All this from her knocked phase. I got it all from speed runners and added the abyss shriek because speed runners would have only had vengeful spirit when fighting hornet and they would upstrike her after the second hit instead.
Edit: Oh, and also, the watcher knights is a must do boss for speed runners in the any percent category. By watching them, I learned an aggressive approach that works well when you have one of them alone or just have a bit of time with the two on opposite sides of the screen. You get it to do the attack where it swings twice at you and then go on its opposite side. Hit it once, then while it tries to counter you with the same swing attack, pogo it & dash to its other side. Then repeat this process, adding a shade soul on the first hit. This sounds confusing, but it is much easier than it sounds and you can watch a speed runner do it for reference. The other thing they do is time their shade souls when they can hit both watcher knights. It does a ton of damage. When both of the knights are together, desolate dive works best because it gives you invincibility frames and hits them both.
Oh don't worry I missed clicked this video while trying to click lofi deepnest ambiance. It's a great song you should look it up.
Or make it.
Another tip for hornet protector:
If you use grubberfly's elegy and quickslash, you can stagger her so often that she can almost never pull off an attack. Grubberfly's elegy is important because no matter where you are, there's a good chance you can hit her from there and keep the hit chain going for a quick stagger. Hope this helps!!
And if you want to swallow your pride, Use heavy blow too.
As someone who uses Mark of Pride, Strength, and Quick Slash 99% of the time, Im surprised people would call it the noob build. It's more of a nail focused set, partially because I don't have to worry about filling up a meter for my main attack. It also makes my counters much more consistent.
This video is actually amazing, I don’t know what else to say. Fantastic job!
"It took me 6 days to complete the hall of gods."
Me with 400 hours and has only beat p5 with the debug mod: heheh, yeah you suck.
Edit: now rounding to 500 hours. Still no win but I'm doing steel soul for the "first" time for the 8th time (think about it).
Thank you. Helpful to know I'm not the only one struggling
@@ayushsrivastava9364 yeah, I always die around failed champion cause it's difficult in the opposite way GPZ is, so my mind never adjusts in time for a sudden mace to the face.
I have 300 hours.
Of course, half of that is me forgetting to turn off the game when I left to do something else.
Steel soul isn’t that difficult, if it weren’t for me of course. Because I can literally end runs, here’s a few hints to help you in your pathetic, doomed plight:
1) Fragile charms for the win. The drawback is naught, because, well, dying is like, death.
2) Stay away from crystal peak and deepest for as long as possible.
3) Get spells as soon as possible, and make them shadowy
4) the last pale ore you should get is the conqueror trial, because you have to go through me to get it.
Good luck chief
Steel soul is really hard for all the wrong reasons lol
Its main difficulty comes from the stress of constantly being on your toes rather then the actuall challenge of not dying
Basically if you play it slow you’re guaranteed a win.
My steel soul file is currently my main one with 112 all radiant bosses +p5
Traitor lord’s dash can be tricky to time even with sharp shadow, so a pre emptive jump isn’t harmful. Ironically, sharp shadow will make this method less effective due to the increased dash distance
I've been trying all radiant for a little over a week now. I just have to do markoth and absrad and i feel that these tips helped me quite a lot! thanks!
Dude, just the day before yesterday I started doing the bosses in radiant difficulty! I'm over halfway done, so there's that, but I have to say I had to learn many of these tips by force to get through haha. The one thing i'm going to say is that i rather use nail arts on many of them, because first it takes up 1 notch compared to 6 from strenght + quick slash, and second, because on many of the bosses you can just nail art and then do some dodging until it's the next time to strike, instead of having to constantly be at close range, especially for Grimm/NKG, because they disappear so fast and you can get 1 hit in pretty much every attack like you said, but with the nail art that hit really counts.
You can avoid the pufferfish attack from grimm by pogoing directly above him
2:07 Correction, dreamnail his body, because his head isn’t part of the dream hitbox.
Yes.
just started and already lovin it
awesome! I cant wait to save this so i can finally attempt the pantheon like a year+ from now :)))
When he said you won’t finish this in a day I just immediately thought of crankytemplar
Here's a tip for regular grimm in general: Stay close to the middle, and have at least refined nail. You also want cyclone slash. When grimm stabs his cloak into the ground, cyclone slash him during the attack.
thanks radiance for the tip
0:17 Orrrr I clicked on this video cause its in my subscription list and I love your content!
(also maybe I want to try these bosses in the future)
These tips are actually so useful?!?! I'm def using this
"took 6 days to beat HoG"
*spends week on killing attuned NKG*
when he said that I generally assumed that it was 6 days from when he sat down and decided to 100% it (which I'm assuming would be after he already finished all the attuned bosses)
Me, watching the video after beating every boss at Radiant: _Interesting_
Same lol
Appreciate the help! The grind is real
Nice video ! Also one complete cyclone slash (7 hits) and 3 normal hits is enough to knock the false knight down with the default nail so you can really abuse him, it gets to a point were you can knock him down before he begins an attack
There is also a bit of a "safe spot" under Grimm and NKG when he is in the puffer fish phase where you fire off a few abyss shrieks. However this is quite risky if not done correctly so this strategy may not be the most viable for radiant mode. See ua-cam.com/video/TmcxrvqUiTU/v-deo.html&t at 16:10
I was literally trying to click a music video 10 hours 😅
I started playing hollow knight 2022 autumn so I'm pretty new player. I can say that I'm very addicted to the game, hollow knight is probably my favorite game! I don't know how it happened but I have won almost all radiant fights and done two pantheons with all bindings. Right now I am fighting with absolute radiance (really cool and also hard boss by the way) and waiting for silksong. Your tips really helped me with radiant fights (especially markoth) so I wanted to say thank you for these tips!
I can tell you had fun with the mmc section
Just change your channel name to ‘Hollow Knight Bosses’
I just fucking might.
@@Rusty._ bro think about soulsborne you can't do this to me
13:48
That should spell death on the spot. Half the body inside SlyTheBuzzsaw.
How???
So i'm goin' to assume these methods work for the regular bosses too, so thamks for that one mate, needed this.
Wow I really wish I had known about shade soul-ing ascended markoth when I did it. I’ll definitely use that in the pantheon!
Don't mind me just commenting for the algorithm
Same, it's the least we can do
ThatOneDudeWhoDrums
May I spare a c r u m b of comment
I already beat ab rad even with every handycap on... But I'mma still watch this. Why? Because Unlike the first two reasons given, I think Rusty is a cool youtuber. End of story. So I'm gonna keep watching his stuff till Silksong and then watch that too.
Thanks for the tips!
When Grimm or nightmare Grimm goes into the bullet hell mode and, you can charge a nail art and do the dashing one right when he gets out of his shell and starts disappearing.
Do I win something if I do it in a day? Can I be proud of my life's choices?
Soon, it will be "those 46 dislikes are from the bosses who you told everyone how to kick the ass of"
with normie grimm, I found that when he bows at the start of the fight, you can dream nail and then use howling wraths and the attack isn't interrupted. It takes a massive chunk of his health
Very good info in this. I'm a hard headed player and only used one build tho lol have 11 left on radiance mode so gonna try your builds
As someone who is already done them all, this is pretty accurate. Have fun
I have nothing smart or clever to say so I'm just gonna leave this comment because why not.
I have never thought about using the baldur shell charm!! I feel stupid now thanks for the tips
14:58 i have just been pogoing on his head during that attack and it works just fine
Are the pillar hit boxes not big enough to reach you?
Link9058 no u just move from side to side to avoid them
Koala Duks oh
Healing: *Exists*
Double-damage based bosses: *Woah....this is worthless!*
For Abs Rad: If spell builds aren’t working for you, Steady Body + Quickslash is lowkey broken against Radiance. She doesn’t deal contact damage, so you can go nuts before she even starts attacking. The build I had equipped when I beat radiant Radiance was Strength, Shaman Stone, Quickslash, Steady Body, and Mark of Pride.
For False Knight and Failed Champ, if you hit their armor, it resets the wakeup cooldown, and if you get behind him, you can smack his butt, and you get get full soul.
I love using sharp shadow in nkg. You can damage him in the uppercut, the dive (though it is very difficult to pull off) and the flame pillar attack. I never use spells on nkg since I just find it easier to prioritise the nail over where to cast spells
Thank you Rusty, very cool
This video literally helped me to complete the whole hall radiant except for AbsRad - but honestly I'm shocked NKG and Markoth worked so well with just a bunch of tips
(I am not sure if this works with the broken vessel)
If you have a problem with Lost Kin than grab:
Grimmchild, Glowing Womb, Grubsong, Weaversong and Defender's crest.
When the fight starts go to the right wall, mantis claw up until you barely can see the knight and hold crystal dash. The Lost Kin can't jump to you, the ghost are killed by Grimmchild, Glowing Womb attacks the boss, and Weaversong collects soul. Now just hold the button and wait. If your weaver get's stuck just Crystal dash into the other wall and reposition yourself.
your hollow knight videos are saving me from this deadly quarantine. thank you.
3:33 Radiant Sisters of Battle was so much fun once I got a rhythm going. Didn’t take me too long to beat after practicing on Ascended
14:46 charms, u can replace the mark of pride into the long nail and add the glowing womb for the nightmare king grimm for it helped allot to reduce the health while continuing dodging, and most of the time, you are supposed to be near king grimm when he is idle/ about to teleport, and mostly he does before, during or after his attacks.
Tip for GPZ, D-Dive is your most valuable asset because of the invincibility frames. You can use it to counter most of his attacks, such as his nail flail and ground pounds.
Specifically, the one where he teleports off-screen and comes crashing down, you can stand still and time a D-Dive to evade his shockwaves and make use of the long stagger animation to get some hits in.
Actually been waiting for this for a whilehuh
dude I know you probably struggle with money and I want you to know you are a great youtuber and I watch every video of you, will make it through this don't stop making videos with hope - your biggest fan
I found this interesting thing you can do with hornet protector where if you have quick slash equipped you can charge at her start spamming and she will rest and when you hit her she will jump away but you can do the same thing again
this is pretty good, but thing is: Im trying to do all Radiant Bosses WITHOUT any charms (except for Void Heart of course) to train myself for when I do all binding runs... wich I will
I never said that I WANTED help with them, I just said that some of the tips are useless to me, sorry if I were being unclear
@@tg-susie listen to what he says at that clip. it isn't a tip, it's like 5 words.
@@alexion3007 I never specified that clip eather, that one isnt entirely useless but others are
@@tg-susie he says you are f-d if you listen to it. that was the point.
@@alexion3007 I heard that loud and clear, again: that is good advice even from me but some of the OTHER tips are useless, NOT that one
That shade souls with hornets spikes
is amazing wish I new that before I beat it lmao 😂
with protecter hornet you can use quick slash and grubberflys elegy to keep her on one side of the arena for the whole fight
thanks so much, i tried to beat radiant markoth for so long, and ive finally done it now
Thank you for this video, you have no idea how many countless hours this has saved and will continue to save. Still haven't beaten vanilla Radiance tho...
Another tip for soul Master, when he is using the dive in the second phase if your close enough you can hit him in midair before he goes down, takes some time to learn though
The collector’s little hop is just enough to hide underneath it and that makes it super vulnerable to abyss shriek. Also i feel the obvious should be said that since you die in one hit you should overcharm
Rusty a thing about false knight and failed champion is that you should get full soul by hitting the armour and dream nailing then when he is does the bang down attack shoot a fireball when he hits down his mallet towards you to triple hit
Recently made it to 112% thanks to your videos, Relyea and Perpetual noob, as well. I'm saving myself the mental anguish from doing radiant fights. doing the 5 pantheons once was plenty enough LOL :'D keep up the good work, man! \,,\
I always like your jokes. They are so depressing but funny
