The original Any Radiance wasn't even meant to be beatable. _And someone beat her._ So she was made to be even more unbeatable. _And someone beat that._ This is what no Silksong does to someone
If Silksong isn't out by 2024 we'll be seeing "WORLD FIRST ANY-AND-ALL RADIANCE PINKY ONLY WHITE SPELLS ONLY ALL BINDINGS HITLESS" and I'm here for it lol
This is honestly a dream come true haha. I never would have expected to be here when I started this whole journey back in August. Thank you so much Fire! It truly means the world! The final phase alone I practiced for 50 hours. But it was the platform phase that we spent the most time in. Almost 600 hours was dedicated to plats just from my end. It's truly ridiculous. Also the glitch at the start of the final phase really made it so nerve wracking Thank you to all my new friends for making this whole journey worth it in the end! I especially want to should out Eternal Equinox! Whose supported me since I started fighting Any Rad 1.0. I honestly can not wait to show you all the story that went into these and future clears. I'm honestly bearly able to comprehend that this is even happening hahah. Stay tuned!!! Its gonna be a long... long story to tell. Thank you to everyone once again for just... everything. 😊
3:30 Actually that's not the only one! There are some others, but they are pixel perfect edges of platforms, but those are definitely not humanly possible to consistently land on lmao. Just thought it was interesting to note, for example the bottom far left platform during platz actually has a 1 pixel gap you can land on by accident sometimes if you aren't super careful! also the spikes at 9:46 were 1 FRAME away from beating the beam wall. If that beam wall hadn't proced the baldur shell then Guy's run would have ended there! One more notable thing is during Guy's run there was a lag spike at the start that caused him to lose count of his pogos and almost die, having to resort to a crazy series of orb dodges to recover from the lag. I could not recommend watching Neo's and Guy's individual runs more. Incredible congratulations to them both!!!
Honestly when I joined the team I didn’t believe the boss would ever be cleared either, but I was willing to contribute as much as I could. I’m so proud of Guy and Neo for putting in the work and every other member of the team too. G freaking G
This feels like a true version of the story behind the Hollow Knight. So many shades tried and died to make their way here. All of them start rising to represent the support they've been getting from their friends, in order to take down the truest form of the radiance. Well played, you skilled two players. I salute you.
Been following guy's progress for the last few months, it's been a crazy ride. Awesome when he beat it, and even cooler now that it's being covered! Ggs guy, neo, and everyone who contributed to taking down this monstrosity :)
I didn't think that a boss designed to be literally more unbeatable than an unbeatable boss was going to be beaten. and then hollow knight players. full stop.
This is probably the greatest accomplishment i've ever seen live in video games, truly a spectacle to behold and watching Guy's streams pushed me to try and surpass myself doing Hollow Knight challenges Seriously, the skill the community have earned is so huge that now Any Radiance 1.0 seems to be an easy boss, at least compared to those 2 clears Huge thanks and respects to these persons, they are so inspiring Oh also, great video as always fire and "Ok."
Jeez! I don't think its possible to make the boss any harder without making it impossible, and people still manage to beat it. I can't wait to see a hitless TAS run for this.
Watching them weave back and forth while onscreen in the final phase makes it really clear that's deliberate and practiced to lead the balls out of the way. Minor detail, not even half the hardest tech in these runs but it's so smooth both times
Watching this video made me realize that any radiance 1.0 and 2.0 werent only made to be unbeatable but to keep the fanbase occupied in the wait for silksong cause damn we have some crazy people here and they're so amazing. We need Radiance 3.0 soon cause the first two impossible bosses apparently aren't enough!
I really hope silksong has a "difficult" mode. Hollow knight has classic, one life, and instant endgame modes. I hope silksong has something ridiculously hard like half masks, less damage, no tools, something like that to challenge me. As a radiant HoG guy I am itching for a difficult game and Celeste didn't have any combat
I remember when the TAS for this came out and we all thought nail turn around cancels and safespotting the light walls were TAS only. And now it looks like those aren’t even the hardest thing these guys had to master. This is insane.
I posted this on Guy's raw footage video and felt it would be appropriate here too "Silksong better come out soon or these Radiance mods are gonna become sentient."
Let's just have a moment of silence for the guy who thinks base uumuu is harder than any Radiance 2.0 and states he repeatedly beats anyrad2 like it's no challenge, absolute lad right there
And here I thought the most random boss this game has to offer was Radiant Invincible, Fearless, Sensual, Mysterious, Enchanting, Vigorous, Diligent, Overwhelming, Gorgeous, Passionate, Terrifying, Beautiful, Powerful, Grey Prince Zote.
I discovered HK only last year, and I freaking loved it, but I think the community around it is just as awesome! I didn't even know what a speedrun was before I found fireb0rn (God Gamer) on YT and then discovered all the mods and hunting videos (still my favorite!) too. I really wanna play Silksong but the long wait constraint has created so much creativity from the community. Thank you so much Team Cherry and thank you too fireb0rn!!! Off to watch a hunters vs speedrunner vid and then I'll get back to trying a steelsoul run in under 5 hours!
Shmup games still remain the most absurdly difficuly gaming content I'm aware of, but this version Any Radiance looks like an absolute nightmare for sure. The platform phase with spikes everywhere, holy shit
2:22 Hey, kinda like that one time where I somehow, accidentally avoided White Defender's dung spike attack because I was somehow in the perfect position where wonky hitboxes did their thing and I could just stand there in one position and not get hit my the spikes. But this time it's on purpose.
I love how the mod creator was upset that people defeated the "undefeatable boss" so they shot back with a harder version and it was still defeated. I don't care if that's not entirely accurate, but in my head there's just an upset modder sitting at their computer shaking their fist at these insane players Edit: this comes from how the ending screen on original anyrad was just "Ok." which is so passive aggressive and funny
Absolutely amazing. I sure hope to see another video on this if for ascended or even hitless though that would be highly unlikely but I hope I'm wrong. Awesome video.
Hollow knight players after another year of no silksong: using HOLLOWKNIGHT to solve world hunger and interstellar travel at the SAME TIME! (All bindings on)
Some guy: _updates Any Radiance, buffing her already unfair arsenal to absurd levels, just because it's previous version wasn't unbeatable_ HK Players that beat the original Any Radiance: *I'll freaking do it again!* I miss the "God Gamers" series
I'm honestly surprised they kept that last platform in the final phase in. After all, it's basically impossible to even use it to pogo off of, and it would make the fight even cooler to just blatantly take away the entire arena as an explicit statement that the player has to stay alive by pogoing off of the teleporting boss that is chain-spawning homing orbs.
A boss could be made that covers the screen with triple damage with every attack, and top players would still be able to beat it without upgrades or spells

Fire... I've beaten NKG, the path of pain, and gotten 112% completion. Can I be considered good at the game?
@1th to comment. Yes
I'm pretty much the same
But I've managed to beat an even harder boss that NKG for the first time literally today
je t'aime profondément Yosr♡
now they gotta radiant it
I'd call them deranged, but this performance just screams "do you think a crazy person could do this?"
They are deranged, it's just that all of their insanity gets dumped into their obsession with clearing the boss 😆
The first thing i think is “only a crazy person can do this”
*yes*

Any Rad 4.0, if you die to the boss you die in real life.
People really do absurd things while waiting for Silksong
This is INSANE
NO COST TOO GREAT!
Hm
People don’t do absurd things when waiting for silksong, they become absurd
I fear were gonna see some first try hitless bullshit
Really wish there was a comment that didn't feel the need to complain about Silksong or drag it into this.

Congrats! I actually just got to fighting the normal radiance myself on my first play through, and I have no idea how you do stuff like this.
So small question. What happened to the other 32 guys that beat radiance 2.0 before you?
@@enderdrane they just be vinbin!
Holy shit, it's the legend himself- Amazing what you did, truly.
@@CalamitasBrimstoneWitch Thank you so much. I never would have expected people to care this much about this. It truly warms my soul.
We all know the hardest Boss is the wait for Silksong
Lol too good
Yes. Silksong is a Myth. I am sad.
Indeed
The boss we all try to defeat and fail.
But be hopeful because team cherry has been grinding attempts to beat the boss
I wonder how these 2 feel when they fight “the radiance”
It’s like the difference between false knight and failed champion but x10 bigger
I imagine it’s like the difference between nightmare king Grimm and massive moss charger
The difference is probably closer to the difference between Radiant Failed Champion and a random husk
More like the difference between a crawllid and the entire Pantheon of Hallowknest
Bro its like so fast. Its like going from NKG to grim. So freaking weird!
Fr it's like going from like, one tiktik to almost like, two tiktiks or something ong fr fr bro

Thank you Noah!!!!!!!!! This would not happen if you didn't give me the mod.
Holy crap this is insane! Mad congrats to them, I'm here still struggling with Abs Rad :')
Don't worry I'm also struggling with Abs Rad
Thank you, kind strangers
Don't worry, i cant defeat even NKG
@Dumb Blob good thing i am doing p5 before fighting zote so he does not apear as i am unable to beat that beast
I think the biggest prob is the sheer amount of shaking i have when i reach rad in p5
Shoutouts to the guy who got stuck on hornet for 20 hours, finally someone close to challenging his skill
Haven’t played hollow knight in a long time, but watching this video just the way it all looks reminds me how beautiful of a game it is.

WOW! Now that's poetic :)
Excellent explanation of all the strategies used! Great work as always
The modded final boss of silksong is going to be insane
Lets hope
What's silksong?
@@Palemis Idk if you are joking or not but if you aren't, it is an upcoming sequel to hollow knight that still didn't release yet

This is one of the most impressive things i've seen in gaming

update, 2.0 did indeed get beated in ascended difficulty
Perfect video to watch during my lunch, I can tell this gon be a real banger fr fr
so true
I didn't think that a boss designed to be literally more unbeatable than an unbeatable boss was going to be beaten.
and then hollow knight players. full stop.
Hollow knight players legit scare me
@donhimesamadaifutari what does that have to do with literally anything you're just advertising another series lmao
@donhimesamadaifutari I'm not mad I'm just disappointed
@donhimesamadaifutari are u ok
Let’s just say that there’s always something harder out there in gaming.
just rewatched the any radiance video yesterday, absolutely incredible how dedicated people are to this game
3:24 this is the least safe looking safe-spot ive ever seen xD
hahahaha you made me laugh more then I should have.
This is probably the greatest accomplishment i've ever seen live in video games, truly a spectacle to behold and watching Guy's streams pushed me to try and surpass myself doing Hollow Knight challenges
Seriously, the skill the community have earned is so huge that now Any Radiance 1.0 seems to be an easy boss, at least compared to those 2 clears
Huge thanks and respects to these persons, they are so inspiring
Oh also, great video as always fire and "Ok."

These players are LEGENDS!
1000 hours ≈ 41.7 days. Imagine practicing the same boss, which is said to be unbeatable, for _that_ long.
Omg Imagine how many languages I could have learned in that time.
great video, i watched it at 11x speed to absorb all of the information in one go
Watching this video made me realize that any radiance 1.0 and 2.0 werent only made to be unbeatable but to keep the fanbase occupied in the wait for silksong cause damn we have some crazy people here and they're so amazing.
We need Radiance 3.0 soon cause the first two impossible bosses apparently aren't enough!
...what did you do
@@ZBREAD. oh jesus
I really thought we had more time
They’re talking about makings the fight even HARDER? What a bunch of madlads!
Y’all, we made a mistake. Now they know our capabilities
Beating silk song story mode on normal mode is going to be like steel soul 112% in normal HK
Steel soul 112% is easy ngl
Don’t say “our” I have nothing to do with any of this 😢
I really hope silksong has a "difficult" mode. Hollow knight has classic, one life, and instant endgame modes. I hope silksong has something ridiculously hard like half masks, less damage, no tools, something like that to challenge me.

Now i want to see the same guy defeat any radiance 1.0 with this extremely developed skill
Lol join me on stream then :)
@@the33rdguy yes
i will
I would 100% be dead after about 5 seconds on here. These are some next level gamers right here
I posted this on Guy's raw footage video and felt it would be appropriate here too
"Silksong better come out soon or these Radiance mods are gonna become sentient."
I feel like "World's Toughest Boss" might belong to the IWBTG fangame community, but this is definitely up there! Truly insane gameplay.
Absolutely unreal
Would love to see a hand cam for a run like this
Insane. Truly insane. I wonder if there’s footage of their hands or inputs while doing this.
ive no idea that any radiance has received an update, this is nothing short of amazing
This community is so amazing to join together and beat the toughest boss in the game. I love it so much!
The sword burst dodges at 3:50 and 7:42 are beautiful. (I mean, these whole fights each are, but those dodges really stood out)
can’t wait for someone to beat path of pain while also fighting any-radiance 😂
A modded pantheon with any versions of all bosses would be insane
Any radiance 3.0 is out now
Crazy stuff, most people struggle with AR if they reach her at all.
that’s amazing, congrats. the ‘dps race’ phase at the beginning is cool af
Content like this makes me want to have more Any versions of more bosses. Any Gruz Mother when?
Some people are so incredibly skilled and watching them beat this boss is magical

I was waiting for this soo much omg... this is actual history for videogames
At least for modded VGs.
There are three tiers of gaming prowess:
1. Regular humans
2. AI/TAS
3. Hollow Knight players
4. Superhumans
Yooo! This is a huge achievement omd! This community is as insane as it is amazing lol
Wait dude you’ve got tunic music in the background, I love that game!

I know people talk about Radiance being like a bullet hell, but this is actually just Touhou
What the hell
More like Mushihimesama Futari Ultra Mode I would say
I mean, it is mod for Radiance that was intended to be unbeatable.
Shmup games still remain the most absurdly difficuly gaming content I'm aware of, but this version Any Radiance looks like an absolute nightmare for sure. The platform phase with spikes everywhere, holy shit

Silksong is gonna be a walk in the park for those guys
Any game would be a walk in the park for them lmao
Oh god i was not expecting The Heir to start playing that is a good song choice
I thought they were crazy enough to beat any Radiance and now killed a 2.0 version. Wow, my most sincere respect.
Neo! I love his chaotic and aggressive style
And what you get when you pull THIS off?
"Ok."
i wouldn't blame anyone that thinks the wait for silksong has made the community completely insane after watching this.
Holy shit, the technical skill on display here is insane
They finally beat AnyRad2, and the next thought in these people's heads is "Hey I wonder if I can do it on ascended"?????????

I was a fan of 33rd guy, I watched his streams, he reacted to my playthrough while he was in the early stages of fighting him
Maybe Silksong is the friends we made along the way…
Seeing the Radiance fight set to the The Heir was the icing on top
That 'Ok.' at the end
this should be the "how did we get here" achievment for hk
Or it could also be named: “Inhumanely insane”
“you’re not greedy, you’re batshit insane!”
Exactly right
Maybe the real hardest boss was the friends we made along the way
"I could do better" - when someone manages to do ascended any radiance 2.0

imagine doing this at the end of p5
that was done lol

Damn I beat ascended abs radiance yesterday and I thought I was hot shit. This is truly something else.
What, how, why... this doesn't feel like it should be possible
I'm honestly surprised they kept that last platform in the final phase in. After all, it's basically impossible to even use it to pogo off of, and it would make the fight even cooler to just blatantly take away the entire arena as an explicit statement that the player has to stay alive by pogoing off of the teleporting boss that is chain-spawning homing orbs.
bro, someone legit looked at this bossfight and went
*_"You dare challenge me?!"_*
Excited to see what modders do to the silksong final boss
A boss could be made that covers the screen with triple damage with every attack, and top players would still be able to beat it without upgrades or spells
Some people have too much free time
Can't wait for Any Radiance 3.0
Low-key 2:48 paused frame encapsulates this boss really well
