I tried to beat every Hollow Knight boss without getting hit

Hollow Knight 'Hall of Gods - All Radiant' Challenge
I stream my challenges and more at 8:30pm PST: / delephantuno
Doc with everything found here: docs.google.co...

[@delephantuno]

Ok so a lot of people are asking why I used grimmchild and it's simply because I had no idea it was garbage. I never looked up anything what were optimal charms and I just used stuff that felt good and because I hated using spells I never used any spell charms. I also am kind of a sucker for summons so when I saw there was a summon I just wanted to use it lol. I was roasted in twitch chat a couple of times for it so if you look at the document for like the last couple of bosses I used shaman stone. Hopefully this clears up some confusion! Edit: Shaman stone instead of spell twister idk how I messed that up

I don't care about that You are true legend for doing this

the moment I saw u using d dark against Mantis Lords I knew that was the issue because for some bosses using purely nail is just the best option. It was nice to see that u learned from your mistake.

[@FlarpTart]

Just finished watching the whole video and just wow! For only 700 subscribers you’re absolutely amazing. The story woven into the gameplay, the commentary/voice over, the editing and everything else put into this video made it really enjoyable to watch. You’ve definitely earned a subscriber and hopefully many more. This video made me want to go back to Hollow Knight to finish all the radiant bosses. I just have Radiance left, and I’m trying my best to beat it. But anyways, this video was absolutely (hall of) godlike.

[@ChannelMiner]

Tips for markoth: While dodging, stay on the left or right wall. Use nail arts for longer reach Save soul for phase 2

[@unmeiidesu]

Better tips: Stay on the right wall, the left one allows blade spawns outside of the screen Use nail arts to increase your range. If u can (P5) u should cast Vengeful Spirit twice right at the beginning For Phase 2 use dashslashes for maximum range im lazy rn

This experience with hall of gods pretty much exactly mirrors my own. The sheer rush I felt upon finally beating abs rad fuels me on to this day where I know best radiant abs rad for fun (shocking I know). I’ve seen plenty of other videos on hall of gods but yours was definitely not only the most similar to my own, but also the most engaging in one. This was an absolute joy to watch and I can’t wait to see your other videos (:

in my opinion this is still one of the best hall of gods video ive seen i remember watching this video for the first time when it came out 6 months ago and i was so surprised that u ended up finishing this challenge so i started as well sadly i ended up quitting hollow knight cuz of school but i came back just to finish this challenge i saved markoth for last cuz hes definetly way harder than radiance and even pure vessel (at least in my case) and i rewatched this video cuz i wanted to see this vid again and tbh even though i alr watched this video the milestone u achieved by doing this is a milestone u should be proud of tbh anyways enough talking though idk what im saying at this point lmao but yea tbh best hall of gods video and i hope this challenge was fun for u :D (ik markoth wasnt im going through the pain myself so yea)

[@iedgetomahoraga]

I'm thinking of trying this challenge myself, the hardest gaming challenge I've attempted so far was beating sekiro with the demon bell and no kuro's charm, Isshin took me four hours over two days, but that wasn't anywhere near as hard as this seems, also I recently ragequit my 112% HK run because I couldn't beat pure vessel when I was right at the end of it all (111%) so I'm hesitant to open this pandora's box and unsure if I can trust myself to maintain the mental fortitude to see it to the end, skill isn't really what I'm worried about, even if I'm not good enough, I'll just get better, but staying motivated for things like this is the real struggle, and I don't wanna get to the end and spit on all my previous hard work again,

[@Wheelchair_Sam]

He didn't go overcharmed on Radiant, what a Chad

[@mrblakeboy1420]

you got really lucky with gpz, he’s one of the last 2 i have to beat radiant

[@sebasperillae]

Having beat all the bosses radiant as well and sunk in over 200 hours in the game, I’m sure that in the end learning how to work without mark of pride and using both strength and shaman stone together with quick slash it is much more worth it in the long run. The faster you kill bosses the less chances they get of hitting you. Also use steady body. It’s the most op charm in the game that many people overlook.

[@paultapping9510]

This was my goto setup for much of endgame. In the end though I found that setup to be a bit too mid to beat Radience. It's a good general setup, but imo it's better to lean into either Nail or Magic, rather than trying to cover both bases. I fully agree with everything else though, especially Steady Body being very underrated.

[@alil636]

steady body? why not instead using all of that with spell twister?

[@Sepi-chu_loves_moths]

Damn 200 hours that's fast for radhog

[@sebasperillae]

@@alil636 well in my experience steady body paired with Quickslash gives you soul extremely quickly (as you are not limited by the knockback effect that you have without steady body on) it also means that you can get more damage in a reduced time window. If you want more input from this look at Fireborn's video of all the charms ranked, and he further describes the great utility provided by steady body. At best it is actually dealing a higher dps, and at worst it gives similar effects than that of spell twister, albeit at a lower notch cost. In no way am I saying spell twister is bad, but to me at this point id just prefer to stick to steady body considering it has a lower charm cost and works regardless of either a strength of spell build. If you are going for an all out spell build, Shaman stone, Quickslash, spell twister, soul catcher, and steady body are a great combo and I suggest you run it.

[@sebasperillae]

@@paultapping9510 I would agree with you, but my view is more so looking at how speedrunners and TAS runs play against bosses and what builds they are using. There also tends to be many commonalities in both such as the use of steady body, and other DPS charms. On the other hand, I also think that using Grimchild is ofc really bad and look at the speedrunners and TAS as an example. In the end its more just an aggressive playstyle of mine rather than an overall truth. This video alone is enough to show that you can beat all these bosses without them. Also steady body goated

[@Esfirrash]

Carambolas cara, eu so percebi praticamente no final do vídeo que ele so tinha 200 incritos, eu jurava que esse ja era um canal muito famoso ou algo assim A qualidade desse vídeo é realmente algo incrível Também acho muito legal que esse vídeo foi recomendado para um brasileiro lol

[@tonyVotino]

For the last faze you can just pogo and the balls will go out of the screen. I see everybody that plays this does that. The balls simply go past off screen and dissappear. Like when they get to this part, they start to celebrate cuz it's pretty much a no hit pogo fest. Don't even have to pogo that much. Great job for doing it a real way instead of the cheese

[@nehuenturrisi7088]

all bossew in hollow knight have a pattern, a discernible visual sign for when they're about to strike with one of their attacks, no matter how small it is and how little time you have to react, but Markoth. Markoth is completely random. he has no special attacks but randomness itself. his fight is just painful to get radiant and just not fun at all. even when i got prince Zote in radiant i had fun, no matter how hard it was, but with Markoth, it just makes you want to quit. it's truly one of the most unsatisfying and frustrating boss fights i've ever played.

I’m glad you enjoyed the video, thanks so much for the compliment! I wasn’t familiar with the charm so I just looked it up. I think maybe it would’ve helped with the oblobbles and Markoth but I’m not sure what else. I could be completely wrong though. It’s good information for the future so thanks for letting me know!

[@genio2509]

Sharp shadow does 21 dmg, with dashmaster 32 (same as nail and strength) but on itself it's only useful on dashing bosses, and really it is lne of the charms you are better off learning to not use, as it can create dependecy. Also on PV sometimes attacks are faster than dashes and you are just better off jumping. The only two bosses as of now (P5AB clearer and R5 contender) I'd use ss on are watchers and failed champ. Itself it's an ok charm, but some people tend to overrate it and some to underrate it.

the beam radiance kills you with in the climb phase is not rng it is programed to be really off for the first half, and then expertly predict where you will be in the second bit so avoiding usually means jumping really far the opposite way and dashing back towards the platform to bait the beam far away

I started playing November 2021, and got RHoG on March 2022, so 5 months. Also you should try P5AB, it is a very fun challenge, only took me 3 momths of consistent practice from Dec 2022 to Feb 2023 :))))))))) One last thing: I'm sorry to have to tell you, but Grimm child is really bad It does 13 damage evey like 2 seconds and almost always misses. Your nail does 21, with strength 32. Those notches are better use on things like twister, steady body, catcher or longnail, but it's done so, idk, for R5 you know Also why didn't you overcharm?
