I Beat Every Boss Hitless… This Is What I Learned

[@joshuapatrick682]

My only beef with the challenge is that if you beat an enemy on ascended without taking damage it should automatically give you the Radiant badge for that boss.

[@TBird136]

nah fr because I beat sisters of battle on ascended first try no hit and then struggled for like 15 minutes to actually get radiant

I did this about a year ago and holy hell is it difficult, thanks for giving out a bunch of tips for doing this. It’s certainly a rough feat to accomplish. Somehow Dreamshield was the carry charm for AbsRad and I refuse to explain why I chose to use it but it got me the win so I am now Dreamshield’s strongest defender. A Dream Warrior, if you will.

NGL the Grubberfly’s Elegy for radiant Markoth is effin brilliant. Legit never thought of or seen anyone else use or even mention it. In a game 8 years old that is rare. 👏 🎉

[@mothichorror446]

And it makes so much sense too, the absolute madlad

[@enigmatic2878]

Probably because the main frustration from markoth is in p5. And using grubberfly's elegy on p5 is not really a viable decision.

[@elibaerg7436]

I'm surprised more people don't use it, I did every boss radiant and I'm pretty sure I used glubberfly elegy for every boss just cause why wouldn't you if you can't take damage anyways

Bro. I dabbled in trying the radiance forms and told myself never to bother with them all and especially not Pantheon 5. This has been the case for years actually. But this video has really inspired and encouraged me. I'm gonna go for it! I'm probably never gonna stream it or upload, because that's just not my thing. But I'm gonna get those bragging rights and the full achievement list on my switch just to show my few friends who would care. Thanks man for this

@@LipoBipo I never had had a problem with the dash length-especially because the dash length helps me-but it is a bit weird to learn how to use it

[@iamthedorkygamer]

@@flamingpaxtscnah it really isn’t worth it imo. Even if the extra distance didn’t throw me off sharp shadow doesn’t actually scale with nail upgrade, so it only does like 5 damage (unless I’m misremembering feel free to correct me) so it’s like 1/6 of unbreakable strength’s damage. I never dash through NKG bc if you just dash outside of his range you can always get a free hit or two which is way better than the tiny damage from sharp shadow

[@diaryofarobot]

@@LipoBipo He's too used to normal shadow dash. Personally I always use Sharp Shadow for everything pretty much

Years ago I struggled my way through Hollow Knight for the first time, losing hard against every boss in the game, couldn’t beat any of the Dream variants of any boss and skipped over Zote and NKG entirely. Took me days to even get the true ending, beating normal Radiance nearly drive me insane. So obviously I never got far in the Godhome content, I couldn’t even beat P3 my first go around. But a few weeks ago I decided I would buckle down, grind it out and finally get platinum and I’ve been making good progress! Beat P3 finally and even did all the bindings on P1 and 2 to get lifeblood going, and in Hall of Gods getting quite a few radiant bosses done. Seeing a video like this makes me encouraged to keep at it, congrats on a monumental feat few have done.

Awesome video! I’m so impressed with how quick you got everything done. I probably spent like 15 hours on absolute radiance alone. Though I beat it radiant before beating it in P5. The awesome thing about this challenge is that it forces you to think of new strategies for every boss. You have to be really intentional with every action and not tilt. You also just have to believe you can do it to avoid tilting

[@ZeMountainKing]

That AbsRad tech is completely new to me, 200 hours in with P5 beaten. I so desperately wish I knew about it back then... Great video!

[@purrrp6114]

Opinion of difficulty between players has always been so interesting to me in hollow knight. Lost Kin, White Defender, and Mantis Lord were all done somewhere in the range of my first 10-15 radiant fights because they are super easy for me, all 3 being completed in only a couple tries. But I have never been able to radiant NKG, Markoth, or Obbles no matter what I've tried. I always find a way to get hit 1-2 times in their ascended fight. Update - I’ve completed every radiant fight except absolute radiance

Nice, great timing with the vid to have on while I finished my own radiant sheet! Interesting to see what you found easy/ what you struggled with. I definitely had the most trouble with absolute radiance, other harder one's were more of a surprise - oro+mato, watcher knights, lost kin. Others surprised me with how they immediately fell when I thought I might take a while - Markoth,pure Vessel, both grims,sheo,sly, GPZ and no eye's. I think there's probably a lot of swing with when you can either get "lucky" with finishing on the first solid attempt or come close and fail and then get stuck for ages. Most of the theoretical hard fights I'd practiced for P5 so that probably helped a lot for the radiant wins.

[@Immys_Art]

Congrats! It’s really interesting to watch someone else’s all-radiant-clears journey as someone who has rather recently done so myself! I beat AbsRad on radiant around six or so months ago, and still vaguely remember most of my strategies. Interestingly enough, you used a lot of similar stuff when it came to charms and how you approached the fights, and that might be due to adjacent play styles. I also tend to use a lot of nail action, probably with a good bit more risk than you, but included is also more spell usage. I also tend to use nail arts as a core part of my play. In terms of charms, my core build was strength, quickslash, shamanstone, nailmaster’s, sprintmaster, and spelltwister. All of these, with one exception, were substituted at some point for some bosses. Soul eater was a common substitute for strength on spell-based builds, shamanstone could be benched for mark or pride, spelltwister wasn’t as good as sharp shadow in some scenarios, and even quickslash and nailmaster’s glory were occasionally dropped for alternatives. Yes, the one charm that was essential for me the entire time was *sprintmaster* of all things. My answer for both Sly and Markoth was nailmaster’s glory, seeing as greatslash and dash-slash gave enough room to hit past Markoth’s shields and almost all of Sly’s attacks. I definitely found the challenge to be a perfect mix of difficult and rewarding, having a whole host of miniature victories when you beat troublesome bosses while still having a great overarching difficulty curve in a cohesive and simple to understand challenge. Easily one of my favorite moments to look back on in all of gaming challenges. This was an enjoyable video to watch and a very good documentation of your journey through this! It makes me want to go through the whole process again, but on my steel soul save this time. And again, a round of applause for sticking through it and beating every radiant boss in the game!

When you mentioned how many times hornet one killed you, it reminded me of the woes of my first playthrough. I got hard walled by broken vessel. It's pretty embarrassing, but it took three days and upwards of fifty attempts to finally beat him. Now I have most bosses beaten on radient, have pantheon's one through four completed with all bindings, and have come close to beating pantheon five many times. It's wild to look back and see how much I struggled with bosses like Broken Vessel and Mawlek.

[@VeryCrankyPants]

Markoth into Failed Champ + Zote is the absolute worst. By themselves, I can easily deal with them, but the three of them back to back to back is always a death sentence to my run. After them, my nerves spike immensely, which always leads me to getting stomped by NKG. I've gotten so close so many times, but my nerves always get to me. Eventually, I'll beat P5, and when I do, it'll be euphoric.
