    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!

    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.

    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.

  • @thescrimble
    @thescrimble 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    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
    @morejemmex6367 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

  • @Zayd-bg1pt
    @Zayd-bg1pt 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    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

    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
      @UltravioletArts  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      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

      @@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

    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

    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.

    • @IDKIDK1DK1DK
      @IDKIDK1DK1DK 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      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.

    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
