Base Markoth is... fine. You have enough ground that you can pretty easily dodge his shivs and you aren't punished as hard when platforming bad. Trying to beat Morkoth with no floor is pain.

[@hiiistrex2838]

If asc had spikes on the floor instead of a bottomless pit and semi reasonable platforms he'd be infinitely better already

[@darknessdevours5827]

Honestly, the ground existing and the platforms not being shit would make me like the fight more, but if I could choose one single change to make to it, I would make his spikes pogoable. That would not only make the fight easier, I would actually thoroughly enjoy it. I do like it already (mainly because I'm masochistic and super difficult stuff like this gets me going), but being able to pogo his spikes would make me enjoy it even more. An honorable mention for my one change would be giving his shield(s) acceleration and deceleration physics, meaning his shield(s) take time to go from stationary to top speed and vice versa. That would also make it a lot more manageable, but I'd still prefer the spike pogos just a bit more.

Markoth literally took up over 10 hours of a 110 hour save file to get radiant. I've scanned the comments and, children, I am your saviour. Nailmaster's glory, unbreakable strength. Use the reach of the great slash to hit him outside of the shield's reach then shadow dash through any floating nails he shoots. The stop in mid air allows you to choose the direction you want to escape in. Alternatively, the dash slash can hit from the other side of the room, although it is harder to hit and leaves you without a dash to avoid the flying nails and get back to the (relative safety) of a platform. Save soul in the first faze and equip shaman stone to absolutely destroy his ass with spells in the second phase (if there is excess soul, fire off a vengeful spirt or 2)After however many nail arts, he pauses mid air and begins to spin his shield. You need to hit him in this intermission. After this, because of the increased nail spawn, focus on dodging the nails and his shields. When he pauses to spin his shield, fire a vengeful spirt from a distance, then get closer and abyss shriek his 2 times. If you can get 1-2 nail hits in. Dodge until he spins again, then repeat. He should be dead after that depending on how much damage you dealt to him while he transitions into the second phase. If not, then carefully great slash him to death. Its important to keep your monarch wings and dash to dodge the nails in this fight. *Why did I spend 10 minutes writing this?*

[@bgmarshall]

Strength doesn't work on nail arts. Also use soul eater, shaman stone, and spell twister to get 8 shade souls which is just barely not enough to kill him so you only need 1 or 2 nail arts. Also you didn't mention that you can get 2-3 free nail arts at the start, 3 is if you get good movement

A one sided "fight"

[@loganxavier]

I’ve learned from playing this fight for over 50 hours that the best strategy is patience, and doing a single dash slash every time he begins the spinning shield attack as well as when he is about to finish it. I like this because it ignores the annoying shield while trying to pogo and trying to attack whilst being surrounded by constant swords. It feels as though the least RNG based thing in this fight is the swords, so I made a technique to avoid the swords while waiting for him to do his shield spin attack. Pick only 2 platforms. Stay on one and try to move ever so slightly to dodge the swords by the skin of your teeth. I feel like this is the easiest method considering how spastic you can be moving along 5 platforms avoiding swords, Markoth, the shield, more swords, and more swords. The reason you should pick two platforms is for an escape route for when Markoth decides to be a bitch and elegantly float toward the platform your meditating on to unlock your chakra points. So what you do is when you think he’s coming do whatever it takes to get to that second platform. Double jump, shadow dash, crystal dash, pogoing, wall jumping, anything. I prefer the top 2 platforms since I don’t have to worry about above me and I have 3 other platforms to fall on beneath me just in case I fuck up (Which is almost always) If you can guarantee a great slash/dash slash when dodging the swords, go for it. But if not, just wait it out. Try to get a rhythm of the swords. The distance between you an the swords is (Almost) always the same. If you traverse platforms, this won’t be the case. As it will spawn whilst moving. I’ve literally had a sword spawn inside my character. Luckily, this strategy also works on phase 2. You just have to have a better reaction time and rhythm to avoid the swords.

[@jaimeprietosanzo1864]

Nail arts are the most consistent way of doing damage. Dash slash has enough reach that you can hit through the shield safely, and great slash has so much area that you can somewhat safely attack markoth with it, although this does not surpass the shield. A little trick is not using spells during the first phase at all, while attacking only with pogos (you can always connect at least two or three when the fight begins) and then nail arts. The second shield is not summoned until he has 50% hp or less (475hp), so hitting him with 5 regular attacks and 7 nail arts maximices damage (527,5 hp) before activating the second phase of the fight. Then you can dodge the nails he throws at you, and when he does the shield spinning, unleash the pain and hit him with shade souls. You will need a total of 10 shade soul hits to take markoth down at that point, so multi hitting is key, and that’s why you wait until he does the shield spinning, to guarantee he gets hit multiple times (if the rng doesn’t help and markoth does his attack next to a wall, wait p, dodge the attack phase agains and repeat until you get a good position). That’s how I did radiant. For charm build, there are two viable options (those which I have won) for me. A combination of strength, nail master’s glory, shaman stone and soul eater, with either spell twister or mark of pride. Mark makes doing the pogos safer and the first phase of the fight overall, pretty easy, as the riskiest part are the pogos thanks to the nail arts range. But with it you can only cast 5 shade souls with the soul gathered, making obligatory at least 2 hits per spell, and possibly forcing you to dodge three or more attack phases. Spell twister on the other hand makes the beginning harder, as you have to get closer to markoth to connect the attacks, but at the second phase you will have soul for 7 spells, making it so much easier, and only forcing you to connect 3 double hitting shade souls or just one, and another that hits thrice. For me, spell twister is the way to go. Hope to be helpful although I am late. Also, sorry for any miss spelling or mistakes in general, English is not my first language. Hope this comment is useful to at least one person who is struggling to defeat radiant markoth :)

Nail arts get through the shield!

Windette’s strategy: realize you can use Elegy to bypass the shield and attack from a safe distance, elegantly solving the biggest problem My strategy: go onto the wiki to see exactly how much health he has in phase two of Radiant mode, check the damage value of Shade Soul with Shaman Stone modifier. Calculate how many hits required to completely take out the second half of his health bar, then calculate how many casts possible with a full Soul bar and Spell Twister, then find the difference to determine the number of multi hits needed. Lastly go into the first phase after having memorized all the starting positions and rotations of the shield to get as much damage in early and then play super passively until reaching phase two. Then focus entirely on dodging, only attacking when Markoth attacks with Shield, making sure to count each multi hit and not cast when he’s near a platform. All to avoid interacting with his phase two since it’s so fcking hard.

During phase 2, look for openings to blast him with shade soul. Spell twister will help a lot here.

[@tuckergoogenberry1429]

[@Melotaku]

I'm so glad that there's a video somewhere on the internet about this

[@carlymartinez2016]

I love these videos, they make me happy idk why

[@casualminecrafter4564]

"you're gonna sit there and look pretty while i do it" a compliment windette? SMH

Markoth: I fear no men Markoth: But that thing Grubberfly's Elegy Markoth: It's scares me

[@iamthebubb]

I beat him twice on my first two runs of hallownest then died on the 3rd, so thought I’d go train him, failed the next 40 tries and realised how lucky I was to beat him those first two times

[@prado2165]

It feels amazing when you did 45 rooms in the Pantheon for 40 to die in this guy

[@SamueL-td7fb]

Or when you manage to beat him with next to zero Soul and only 3 masks left and Failed Champion decides to screw you over.

[@wildmewashere]

"You're gonna sit there, look pretty and watch me fucking do it" HAHA AMAZING

[@megumi9116]

king soul, the womb charm, defenders crest, steady blow, grubfly elegy

Markoth has singlehandedly forced me to give up on the bossrushes

[@bluepalidan9562]

windette: meme build me: YOU HAVE SAVED MY SANITY

[@DimentiosLoyalest]

I just got my ass beat by Nightmare Grimm in the last Pantheon because I was still in the mindset for his _original_ form and this video cheered me up great.

[@lincolnrogers4353]

His weakness is when he does the stop and spin attack in the perfect spot where he doesn't take knockback.

Hey watch me radiant this guy, and proceed to have PTSD
