You know what I hate the most? The cutscene🤧 like bro faster I want to learn the moveset!!

[@UltravioletArts]

It honestly drained years out of my life

[@thegamingjelly1719]

Just reached her for the first time today. I felt so powerful after not dying to the Pure Vessel on the first time I reached them in Pantheon 5, and I was humbled QUICKLY

[@grilo7411]

I feel you, pal.

[@DZ_walt]

I was so locked in during pantheon 5 that i did like the last 10 bosses hitless and then i reached absolute radiance to just get killed in under 30 seconds

[@Klyxlik]

The reason why Markoth is so hated is because he has Abs Rad in his blood

[@Stemanar]

It took me 3 days and a lot of attempts to be able to beat Absolute Radiance on Ascended. I was going to take a break, but figured I'd give it a shot on radiance. I did it in two tries! All Radiance bosses complete!

[@Sandy-rw2fj]

Congratulations you have completed one of the most difficult tasks of any video game

[@impslayer3583]

we need "fuck these orbs" merch now!

[@frickinfrick8488]

I know it’s atmospheric but man it is so hard to follow all the projectiles when everything is yellow on a yellow background

[@IDKIDK1DK1DK]

True, but after dying 271 times you start to get better

[@TSpoon823]

Gotta love a timely video. I'm curtently grinding AbsRad in the Hall and I'm just not consistent enough with the fight. Her RNG is brutal. This is definitely helpful, thank you. I've defeated the likes of Malenia and Inner Isshin. HK bosses like NKG, PV, and Zote fall easily now. But I can honestly say AbsRad is the hardest thing I've ever faced in a video game. That's just me.

[@UltravioletArts]

Hope it helps you beat it! The orbs always do me in but after awhile you can get used to luring them into the floor and platforms

[@TSpoon823]

@@UltravioletArts thanks! I'm getting the hang of it and can get some wins here and there. But I just need to pull it all together in the Pantheon now.

[@TSpoon823]

@@UltravioletArts I just cleared P5!! I'm so pumped right now. Heart pounding, not too tough to admit I'm nearly tearing up. Incredible. Great first section, average platforming section, and a flawless climb/Pogo section (with only two hits to spare). Thanks for the video that helped get me there!

[@Chipiiiii]

I still gotta beat this silly lil (big) fella on radiant ;-;

[@z-bro1327]

Oh come now, we all know that Geoff Keighley is the most difficult encounter in Hollow Knight

[@UltravioletArts]

True I forgot!

[@gdb5549]

radiant Geoff Keighley walkthrough (maybe as a joke video)?@@UltravioletArts

[@charlesnojinson4760]

No, the true difficult encounter is silksong

[@ToniosPlaylist]

I've beaten Absolut Radiance today for the first time, on normal mode of course. An hour ago. I wanted to beat him on my own the first time and now I'm searching for tips and somehow, most of it I found out myself in the 200-300-400 tries I needed, lol. From all attacks, I must admit, yes, the orbs are preeetty bad, but the beam burst is way worse to me. The orbs, unless I'm incautious, I can pretty easy dodge them and hit them in the ground, but these beam bursts, no, it's like I never will get beyond them. I have to be super-focused and even then I super often jump just right in them thinking to dodge them. But, thanks anyway, I learned something with the D-Darks, that they help getting rid of these ground spikes.

[@Zayd-bg1pt]

Just some tips if you want to beat her on radiant playing more aggressively •For first phase orbs, pogo above her and then d dark •You can fit a shriek in between each wave of the sword burst and beam burst in the first phase •You can safely shriek if the bottom of the sword wall has a gap •Abuse steady body- if you do a single jump, you can keep hitting her from the side and then d dark •In the platform phase, if you stay on the bottom platform you can shriek if she goes to either of the platforms on the side •You can also do a single jump up from the bottom platform and shriek if she goes to any of the upper middle platforms •You can shriek at the end of the climb

[@thescrimble]

for those who really need to heal, quick focus and shape of unn together make healing completely free (quick focus makes slug move faster) Also, oddly enough, sprintmaster of all things can be pretty good, as it lets you more easily stall the walls of light and swords as you wait for shade cloak to reactivate (descending dark is probably better but hey, I had it when I beat it for the first time)

[@morejemmex6367]

Thank you for being condescending as shit in your intro, it helps with motivation fueled with hatred towards Radiance. In all seriousness though, I didn't know that descending dark could destroy the spikes, I'll try that next time

[@laetitiabee4871]

😂😂😂

[@Gataclismo]

6:02 literal me right now, my bad

[@Chipiiiii]

ITS FINALLY HERE!!! CONGRATS ON FINALLY FINISHING IT 😊 (also im first lol)

[@UltravioletArts]

It's been a busy two months but we got it done lol. Hopefully not as long a break before the next video!

[@HOP805]

I did it man if it wasn’t for this video I would have still been stuck. Thank you bro!!!!

[@C4AZ3_Kaze]

I started practicing for ABS Rad today (my pantheon of hallownest run had only 1 risk that being markoth ) and with Pleasure i can say Ive finished HK I didnt think i would learn this quick thx to your guide I started using descending dark , I switched my build and removed long nail and unbreakable heart since you didnt recommend it (Amazing tip btw longnail doesnt help much in this fight) instead took strength and grub song despite this my 5th phase was shaky and 6th phase was good i just had to get the pogo cheese goiing and i was set for victory in the run tho i got hit twice during 5th phase but since i had strength i killed him way faster in previous phases saving myself lot of HP Then i had to jump around a bit for pogo cheese to begin and once it began it was all hitless after that I thank you again for helping me finish this game i have 145 hours of playtime on this now

[@Raidon484]

In the words of Jetstream Sam: "SHUT. The fuck up. And listen for a moment!" The shwoop sounds when she summons her bullshit are a huge help.

[@zisischartampilas6601]

i went from thinking i will never get down abs rad cliimp phase to beating it in ascended and also beat fifth pantheon with nail binding sadly beating radiant markoth left me tramatized and i left the goal of completing radiant hall of gods and getting the mask binding and soul binding on fifth pantheon for another YEAR

[@UltravioletArts]

No easy feats! Mostly you just have to throw enough time at her to get through it. I think absrad is harder than markoth but is more fair. Markoth is just straight BS. Absrad is only MOSTLY bs

[@zisischartampilas6601]

@@UltravioletArts i actually beat it yesterday i heard a tip that says that you should jump at the same time as a beam hits on the climp phase which i have never heard before despite seeing many many tutorials on youtube and i reached the climp phase once after getting a really good rng on the platform phase and it was basically over i beat it after 30 minutes markoth ended up giving me a much harder time of course 30 minutes is an exaduration i have counltess hours and hours of pracice on abs rad beating it on ascended and plenty of times even in the pantheon and even with a binding on

[@anthonymanake]

fun fact: descending dark destroying the spikes is probably not intentional! the spikes dissapear when you touch them, which makes you take damage, but with the descending dark i-frames you touch them and dont take damage, making them dissapear

[@mrmr_theoriginal]

i got to abs rads last phase on pantheon five and then i died.

[@UltravioletArts]

We've all been there friend

[@xela953]

why is the final phase genuinely the hardest like im trying to do it on ascended and ill get there with almost full health and then i just die instantly. it seems like such a simple phase but the homing projectiles just conveniently go where you want to go

[@dan.21]

This guy is so underrated

[@drew9351]

This is what stopped me playing hollow knight but I might just go back

[@stripedrajang3571]

You went that far in and then quit? Sheesh.

[@Dom_The_Otaku]

I would say that cyclone slash is VERY helpful. Especially when you have no soul. If you have soul eater then you can get half your soul back from cyclone slashing. It helped me in the long run.

[@Klyxlik]

If your gonna choose a healing build make sure you have quick focus & stalwart shell because quick focus & stalwart shell when combined grant the bearer to heal during i-frames

[@Klyxlik]

If you’re feeling like you’re not that good at dodging her attacks then add carefree melody to your charm build

[@Klyxlik]

Or if Abs Rad is making you go so crazy & insane just slap soul eater on with shaman stone

[@AshariXD]

Best video about this, no doubts.

[@Reactivity760]

I feel like for newer players to abs rad replacing shaman stone with quick focus is a play even in P5 as most soul on abs rad will be used for healing if you are getting hit often and in my opinion pure vessel is quite free if you have those 3 lifeblood as well as being a melee centered boss so it wont harm you too much replacing shaman with quick focus on pure vessel either Edit: it took me about 3 attempts to beat her now im just preparing so i dont die on P5 too many tines on her

[@jasmith85]

I'm currently on this boss, it's a nightmare, move over Grimm/Pure Vessel

[@UltravioletArts]

Yeah this one is brutal

[@firstletterx10]

bro those bosses dont even compare to this stupid moth

[@Elitze_playz]

Finally watching a guide after I failed a P5 run on her final phase Gotta love the orbs 💀

[@owen5165]

Great video! Really helped me

[@frostlion100]

believe it or not I literally did it next try after watching your video. thanks!

[@UltravioletArts]

That's great! Glad it helped something click

[@azoth3864]

I can’t seem to get it to show up in hall of gods just pantheon of the hollow nest

[@UltravioletArts]

If you've reached absrad in the pantheon then a new room should open at the top right of hall of gods

[@spectraldragon09]

Im currently stuck on ascended and i want the full Radiant HoG ended up get so frustrated at one point where i just went to P5 to bully the rest of Hollownest

[@something-g99]

I decided to watch this video after my 100th attempt at radiant. Hopefully it won't take too long now...

[@RipVanWinkle13]

I find Gpz right after Markoth the hardest part of p5 so I started another save file were I left Zote to die Got to Abs Rad in p5 first try lol now it's practice time

[@IDKIDK1DK1DK]

I mean, When you practice both of them in ascended (especially Markoth) it becomes much easier, because of the difference in damage. If you are very patient with Markoth and don't go wild you can defeat him without taking much damage, and Zote at least for me is not that difficult since I defeated him many times in the original fight.

[@mr.pepeco1652]

Holy dingus you saved me

[@Fish4two]

Me who can't even get to her in p5

[@lechadeur]

it's worst when you can cause you can do 1 hour of boss fight but can't beat a stupid moth

[@eline8087]

I've beaten p5 and beaten absrad several times, but it's still far from consistent. Perhaps I should indeed start using descended dark, lol.

[@ChargedBonsai98]

The most infuriating part about this fight isnt even dying in the first 10 seconds or the long ass opening cutscene, but the way that the music gets replaced with that god damn droning in the last phases. That shit makes this fight 100x more stressful and I fucking hate it.

[@charlesnojinson4760]

Funny enough, that's what the droning is meant to do. It's meant to be off putting, to mess you up, to exert pressure

[@Blue-m5s]

I swear I never watched this video and coincidentally my build was the same as this one 😂😂😂😂😂

[@liamjohnson8230]

I have been trying to beat this boss for a month and a half and I think I have reached my skill cap. No matter how long I practice I cannot get better or develop faster reaction times than I have.

[@IDKIDK1DK1DK]

And how about now?

[@tavinyo2]

Thanks

[@shinykarp]

"We also stream on occasion" Who else you referring to with we?

[@tucanovulcanico]

I used a full spell build and it breake radiance

[@tucanovulcanico]

And a nail charm only one

[@Jerryboi9]

The “speed” of NKG is the same speed as TLG

Troupe leader grimm

[@Claytonbeastboy]

Appreciate the video. Unfortunately looking for something far far more in-depth than this, but I suppose that's my own fault for not realizing that by the length of the video. The amount of RNG in this fight is so upsetting for such a wonderful game. Guess I'll just have to "git-gud"

[@DoDoMaN1]

is it cheating if i practice abs rad without ever actually reaching it? (i used the glitch before but i didnt acc complete the pantheon (p5))

[@szymonkuaga3419]

Hey do someone know hot to unlock radiance in god home?

[@rintaroou]

reach it in pantheon 5

[@no4678]

If you are not proffessional enough to reach her in pantheon yet and you really wanna lose your sanity, there is an invincibility glitch you can do in godhome to just complete p5 no problem. Just type "hollow knight invinsibility glitch" in yt, click in one of the videos and just follow the steps. After clearing p5 though, remember to come back to it the legit way when you are ready

[@SpaghettiMan_1]

0:16 is wrong zote the mighty is he strongest

[@ClintsGrievances]

Beating this boss is 90% luck.
