Beating the Pantheon of Hallownest For The First Time is The BEST Feeling Ever

This is the highlights from from the stream where we beat the Pantheon of Hallownest. if you want to watch the full version it is here:
• Come From Behind Victo...
The Pantheon of Hallownest is no joke and super hard to beat. I made it all the way to the end of the Absolute Radiance boss fight just to lose and then came back for an epic victory!
I beat each boss pretty quick and edited out a lot of the boring parts the best I could. I hope you enjoy!
Be on the lookout for an absoulte radiance boss fight guide soon. I will share my tips and tricks at a later time. I want to record a dedicated video.

It's 4am, I just beat POH, and I came back to this video, I am literally crying tears of joy, so much struggle, so many times I told myself it wasn't worth it, to move on... I know it's just a video game, but it feels like this huge weight has been lifted. Finally after all this years... This video is two years old, so I am kinda talking into the void, but idc, I just felt I had to get it out there online. Relyea, if you happen to still read comments on old videos like this, know that your content has helped me a lot to get there

[@ronthorn3]

Congrats friend I hear you! I’m currently practicing to beat the POH myself it’s the last trophy I need, still need 5 more bindings from the first 4 pantheons, god it takes so much time, it’s disheartening at times, but when you get those little wins now and then it keeps you coming back with just a little more hope than before, and the window of opportunity grows a tiny bit. Hopefully I get that feeling of relief at some point because it’s stressing me the fuck out I can’t let this game beat me!

[@lazerblade703]

@@ronthorn3 Well tysm for hearing me out! I'm currently now going for all the achievements myself too, I have yet to finish steel soul, so I still have more to do. I'm not even one to complete games, but given how long the wait has been for Silksong, I feel like I might as well do it as a final challenge before it eventually comes out (hopefully), so I can then actually wait because I did pretty much all there is to do. I probably won't do stuff like radiant hall of gods, or insane stuff like doing all bindings at once, especially on POH, I think I'll be satisfied with just getting all the achievements and just move on to other games while I wait for Silksong. One thing that helped me a lot was doing all of the bindings in the main four pantheons, those lifeblood seeds really help in covering run ending mistakes. You don't have to do them all at once, and yeah it was kinda tedious, but I knocked it out in an afternoon, doing 1 to 2 at a time, also it's great practice, because you get to do fight early to mid bosses a lot which is great to keep your hp up for the harder ones. Good luck on your runs though! Probably don't be like me and stay up late trying, take frequent breaks and like you said, cheerish those small victories! You got this, just getting to absrad was huge for me,.

Haha, I love the reaction of you on the controller. I finally came back to do the rest of Godmaster last week; when the DLC first came out I completed the first three Pantheons, got to the Pure Vessel in the 4th, and then just messed around in the Hall of Gods for a while. I’ve finished 12 / 16 bindings for the four Lifeseeds, and so far I’ve had what I would consider amazing luck with Pantheon of Hallownest. Attempt #1: Got to NKG (who was the only boss I didn’t face in the other Pantheons, so I had no practice - oops, my bad) Attempt #2: Got to the final phase of Pure Vessel (yeah, that one hurt) And then last night on my 3rd attempt, I did get to Radiance this time. And having a couple of goes in Hall of Gods, I feel pretty confident about her fight. I don’t think it’s going to give me as much trouble, simple because it’s not a reflex test like NKG & PV are. (I definitely prefer it over them, because of that.) The only attack that concerns me are those lasers, with how they go off almost instantly. It seems like if you’re not already moving by the time she performs the attack, you _will_ get hit by them.

[@RelyeaGaming]

Those lasers are no joke!

[@nepinemi8885]

AR is harder for me. Its like im being chased by primal aspids in the path of pain(im bad at multimanaging platforming). I flew smoothly over the 2 phases. But damn the final phase. i didnt expect it because i never practiced in godhome and its not like the og radiance fight.

I’ll probably never do that to be honest

[@Ghost-np2ey]

You finally did it reylea we’re all proud some because we can’t make it that far

[@RelyeaGaming]

It’s not easy

[@xdcollins8806]

Dude being there to witness history made me feel good

[@Tenchua917]

I finally did it! I finish Pantheon of Hallownest today!! Greatest feat i think I've ever achieved in gaming, took me 11 brutal tries but i did it!!! Died to god tamer, traitor lord, failed champion, nightmare grimm, pure vessel, absolute radiance, almost every end game boss near the end you name it. When i reached my final Pure vessel for my last run my heartbeat was at an all time high 150-180 bpm I'm assuming (i can literally hear my heart beating in my chest) and then absolute radiance, i practiced her 4 or 5 times in the hall of gods and i know i can do it AND I DID! As i'm typing this, I can still hear the heartbeat syncing with mine after you defeat NKG, god the 5th pantheon as a whole is exhilarating, what an amazing game! Now i'm in the silksong waiting room along with thousands of hollow knight fans, and i can say i'm a huge huge fan of this game! :D

It was so intense when he finally beat absolute radiance.

[@RelyeaGaming]

My heart was pounding before the fight.

​​@@RelyeaGamingthe best way to kill winged nosk that nobody does for dome reason is to him him and shade dash its way safer than pogoing him and always go to the edge of the arena when you heal

[@jacktheripper5151]

So I finished Hollow Knight except for the Pantheons and holy smokes, the second time around you face Absolute Radiance is with conviction u my friend is a MADLAD 💀💯

[@user-zs9ux1ru8u]

[@tod9141]

[@g2rshine692]

Sad that I have not watch this on live but so happy u beat it !!!

[@RelyeaGaming]

Thank you for still checking it out

[@erikengebretson2147]

Been playing this game for a few weeks now and I just don’t have the skill nor patience. But I absolutely love the game so I’ve been binge watching KZbin videos of it. This was one of my favorites so far I could feel your emotion when you finally beat AR. Plus you’re super entertaining. Gonna have to check out the stream sometime soon. Congrats man!

[@RelyeaGaming]

Would be awesome to have you around in a live stream. they are every tuesdat at 8:30pm pst

[@erikengebretson2147]

Relyea sorry I keep coming back and commenting but I got some good news. I’ve been grinding this game ever since I made this comment. A few days ago I finally beat the fifth pantheon. I remember not being able to beat the watcher knights in the main game and almost quitting. Your AbsRad tutorial helped a ton! Thank you

[@snowset675]

December 25th, 2023. I finally did it. That Markoth, Grey Prince Zote and Absolute Radiance shall haunt me no longer. I am free!

[@kristhaboss4451]

I just beat the pantheon of hallownest and it really reminded me why I’m willing to spend hours doing things like fighting bosses and going through the white palace, it has to be the feeling I get from finally conquering the obstacles this game throws at you, and I just wanted to say that to everyone trying the pantheon of hallownest, I wish you good luck and remember to take breaks, the payoff will feel amazing.

[@Sogudu]

GGs. Glad i was able to catch the stream when it happened

[@RelyeaGaming]

Happy that you were there for the journey

[@legrandliseurtri7495]

I UNLOCKED ABSOLUTE RADIANCE TODAY!!! It was my seventh attempt at this insane pantheon, which I never thought I would do. My first and second run died to sisters of battle and winged nosk respectivally, which makes a lot of sense. My third run was ended by Godtamer, which doesn't make sense but was expected, I suck at this boss even after beating him on ascended. The three next attempts stopped at the last phase of Pure Vessel, it was infuriating. It's just so stressing because it's the only boss where healing is never actually worth it. But today, I finally decided to learn the pogo-jump strategy for Pure Vessel, because before I was using sharp shadow for almost all his attacks. Pogo-jumping is a lot harder to learn, but once you get it, it's a lot more consistent and also way more satisfaying. After fighting it a bit, I went for a run, ate my dinner, before coming back to Pure Vessel, which I manage to beat 5 times in a row. I then went intothe pantheon. After NKG, I paniqued and changed a little my charm set compare to my practice:I kept Strenght, shaman stone and lifeblood core, but exchanged long nail for heart, which was probably dumb, but hey, I won anyway. I made it to the second phase of Absolute Radiance afterwards. While it's kinda cool that I can just beat the equivalent of four pantheons in a row just like that, it is still very tedious and exhausting, and I'm gonna practice Absolute Radiance until I'm absolutely sure I can beat the pantheon of Hallownest first try.

[@olivecbayt]

omg watching this video literally made me want to grind out P5, ive beat all of the bosses before and gotten to abs rad in the pantheon and kinda lost hope after that but watching this is so motivating haha. Keep up the good work Relyea :D

[@guntruckfella653]

A bit late, but ITS A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE Fr tho, I’ve followed you every step of the journey man, congrats, this was no easy feat and you completely CRUSHED it

[@RelyeaGaming]

Took a while but worth it. I'm still riding this win!

[@guntruckfella653]

Relyea if I were you (assuming you haven’t already) I’d ride that win all the way to 100% achievement completion. Once you have the pantheons down, the rest of them are cakewalks

[@Temyo]

You look so happy in the thumbnail! Congrats on the win!
