Everyone's chilling until a fool comes to modstack all of these. I am that fool. Worth all the suffering. Especially when I added even more mods to make it harder. P.S. mod stacking some of these makes it so EoL revives per line of dialogue she has from Radiance. So basically it's fighting her like 10+ times. So worth it once you win though...

[@Murasama1]

let me know when you make the zenith empress!

[@youraveragebutler9423]

Already did so a while back. I will state one mod, I forgot the name of it but it increases defense, hp, and damage of mobs for 2 factors: how old the world is, and how many times you've beaten it. So all of that + these mods and some more had forced me to do something unreasonable to even beat her. I had to use OP mods and it still wasn't enough.

Infernum one also allows a lot of freedom - i think she's the only of the harder bosses that is both intended to be fought with infinite flight AND doesn't restrict your movement in any way for most of the fight(like the wet worm forcing you to stay underwater, radiance eol and mutant having that circle, MEAC eol forcing you to mainly micrododge, infernum providence having a pre-built somewhat restricting arena, etc)

[@JossOwX]

We all knew MEAC Empress is just the best

[@KirbWithGun]

honestly I always thought radiences's empress of light's sun dance was like a anti-cheat

[@nikshir]

MEAC EoL's attacks are synced with the music (or at least, most of them)

[@Sirantis]

doesnt radiance have a thing where if you use the lights wrath after defeating her to upgrade one of your weapons and then kill a prismatic lacewing with the upgraded weapon she gets pissed and has some sort of enraged form?

[@KanarisTwitch]

that is the True Form mentioned in this video. The first form is like vanilla daytime EoL but taken up a notch and with the new Sun Dance gravity pull, so basically requires insignia + empress/starboard wings.

[@muffins901]

that transition into the sponsor was so unexpected lmao

[@MyraTerrariaOfficial]

personally I hate how radiance mod go with their development. making the fight extremely unbalanced and very unwelcoming to players. Literally kills you in God Mode, just why.. not to mention the fact that you have to use specific gear just to have a chance at fighting is just very anti-player mechanic.

[@zzedixx]

I mean, it was made to be near impossible, it wasn't made for everyone to play only masochists

[@RobertTerrariaOfficial]

True, even tought i like the infernum one

[@KanarisTwitch]

Did radiance not have the practice mode and phase option 5 months ago? Cos that stuff is soooooo good for learning it :D Great addition

[@andryuu_2000]

I don't like how hard to read most of her attacks are, it's not really polished for a bullet hell. Difficult doesn't mean all flashy and chaotic.

[@deltram]

I think the reason why you fight Radiance EoL in a void is because she absorbed ALL light.

[@avchez2527]

ok that transition to the sponser is fuckig amazing

[@thegoose8670]

I find the radiance empress of light AMAZING I love how the telagraphing is perfect and you have to be fast in dodging and yet stop and focus and be precise! Also Just as well made imo was the infernum fight! It is a little difference and I prefer the radiance fight BUT I love how you have to keep moving and never stopping, it just fits infernum mode and it feels so smooth to fight!! Great video I rank it a S tier!

@@KanarisTwitch I mean I beat her so not really Also difficulty =/= fairness

[@KanarisTwitch]

@@olixx1213 sorry for being rude in my original reply. I posted it late at night after reading plenty of silly comments here and yours was the one that finally got me to interact. Yeah for sure they're not the same thing. I just think it's fair once you know what's going on. There's that understanding and strategy hurdle and once you got over that, it felt pretty fair right? Everything the boss does it does for a reason, the AI is fully pattern based, and everything is able to be reacted to as long as you didn't put yourself into a terrible situation. It also gives you plenty of mobility tools to salvage terrible situations, and a practice mode at night time, and phase selection, and Stellar has written info on what gear is expected on the workshop page. Maybe those things didn't exist 5 months ago though. New gravity pull mechanic + gear requirement for mobility = why especially unfair? It's just a puzzle to solve and strategise around. Same as the tracking ethereal lances, radiating stars during everlasting rainbow, sword wall spam attack... Would love to hear your thoughts if you remember much from back when you fought it.

[@olixx1213]

@@KanarisTwitch the problem in this fight is that a lot of attacks pretty much requires you to know its coming before it starts , else you're likely dead (this is mainly true for the gravitational pull and is the reason its so hated , and its especially annoying in the first fight where your wings are way worse) The boss isn't that mechanically hard , its just a massive trial and error to learn the exact pattern else you'll just die by a gravitional pull that you couldn't have known its coming

[@KanarisTwitch]

​@@olixx1213 Everything here is written as if you were playing the mod in its current version. But if there was no night-time version with same AI and no phase practice config, then I totally agree that the end of the fight is too grindy. That's 4 minutes every time to get to learn a part that is strategically and executionally hard, and totally different to both vanilla and the rest of the fight, AND it would one-shot you without dodges if you're forced to learn it during daytime. If that's the scenario you dealt with then I'm very sorry you had to go through that because it sounds ass. Anyway... *Opener* lines (wide) dash chase bolts + cardinal beams blender bolts + 3x radial lance sets 4 curving burst from EoL *P1* homing dash sun dash spiral + triple rays homing dash lines (wide) dash spiral + triple rays *P2* walls - 2H 4V homing dash lines (narrow) spiral + six rays homing sun lines (wide) dash big homing spray *P3* 6 sets of walls - (2H 4V x6) 2 sets of predictive walls - (2H 4V x2) Double curving with 6 following beams Final Sun Dance (go up) There I guess the fight is figured out and the hardest part is done (it's not, and by the way the attack order is literally identical to vanilla expert EoL). Could spend 30 minutes with the mod and have written down the exact order of attacks at night time even on master without defensive accessories in the build. P1/P2 just loop themselves. To act like it's some kind of insane timesink and that it's not fair to have a pattern boss--that yknow, actually forces you to learn the pattern--is a bit wild isn't it? I mean the boss literally telegraphs what's going to happen within 10 attacks from now, every time it attacks; it's not a long loop. The general movement pattern is really similar to how I think most people would've dealt with vanilla expert EoL. It was for me. Sun dance is always preceded by a homing or a homing->dash, and in radiance those are dealt with in an identical way (flying up to dodge). So to me that design feels like it flows super well--like the fight plays itself. Even if you're at the wrong "homing" in the pattern, if you fly upward to dodge it then it automatically sets you up perfectly for the other thing that can possibly be after a homing, which is wide lines (P1) or narrow lines (P2). So yeah idk, the sun dance issue doesn't make sense to me if a little attention is paid to the order. Anyone can write down the moves, make up some mnemonic or mental image or movement pattern in your head that makes sense, and then roll with it, adjusting their strats as they keep trying. By the way infernum EoL does the exact same thing you're worried about, where if you don't know the sun dance equivalent (the flower pattern with crossing beams from both hands) is coming then you're going to get hit a couple times. Or try the 4x criss cross pattern late in the fight, especially in day mode. Harder to react to than anything in Radiance if you don't know it's coming, and even if you do it's still hard. I don't know MEAC and Fargo's but they probably also have things you're not expected to dodge on the 1st or 2nd try. My point is that puzzles in fights are GOOD design, not bad. Learning is fun. I don't know why people (not only you) are so hesitant to buckle up and learn an attack order. Things don't have to be doable on the first try, and acquiring little tidbits of detail about how attacks operate should be just as much a part of challenging bosses as planning strategies or building muscle memory are. Some of the most memorable moments in gaming for me have been meeting a terrifying boss, getting stumped on one puzzling attack, sitting back for a minute after each attempt just replaying it in my head or rewatching a recording, trying to come up with innovative plans. It's fun as heck and soooo cathartic when you overcome it. Is it not the same for you? Yes the fight is trial and error but if there were no trialing and no erroring, all a fight boils down to is you either do it and succeed because your reaction times are good enough.. or you don't do it, and hope to react better next time. And you know what people cry about then? "Cheap hits, dumb difficulty, RNG, unfair" etc. There's no escaping it. I'd rather let a fight have some complexity, thinking, and planning to it than literally just be: - RNG barrage - Did you make the correct read? - If yes, did you pull off the dodge? - If no, there's no recourse except try again because you can't magically get better at reading barrage immediately, you just have to keep trying and perservere. THAT is much worse "trial and error" than having to plan out a movement path, really. I don't think this pattern based style of design should be avoided by devs. I really feel for Stellar because they've made a gorgeous, really fun fight that people think is unfair even though there's clearly been tons of effort put into making it fair :( Just seems like people don't want to have to try for a win. Sorry for typing a nerdy essay but I feel really passionate about what is "fair and unfair" design. But I'm really happy that you pushed through and cleared despite it being salt-inducing, and I hope it brought you catharsis 🙏 (btw I didn't like the gravity sun dance at first but as I've progged the fight I've fallen in love with it. Dodging the beams at the end of the fight feels so goooood and there's always a way out)
