RADIANT Any Radiance (No Damage, World's FIRST)

- Charms (Overcharmed): Baldur Shell, Stalwart Shell, Carefree Melody, Fragile Strength, Soul Eater
After a week of constant grinding and strategizing: ~100 runs hitless phase 1-4, ~20 runs hitless phase 1-5, and one single run getting past climb...
It's finally over, I've done it.
Big thanks to PizzaBox for convincing me to go for this, and for encouraging me all the way through!

Note regarding cheating accusations:
I have been reading the comments under this video, and it seems some people are doubting the legitimacy of my run. It pains me quite deeply, but it is understandable as this challenge has been considered impossible for a while, and I am a relatively new face in the HK community.
The most common argument against this runs legitimacy is carefree blocking the damage from two consecutive hits, which according to the wiki should not be possible. My answer is as follows: I don't blame these individuals for initially thinking this run is cheated since this information is not very well known: Baldur shell hits are considered hits for carefree in the game's code, and so increment it's proc chance - therefore the carefree procs were not actually on consecutive hits.
After I completed this run, I calculated a success rate for this particular attempt: (0.9)*(1.0)*(0.9)*(0.2) = 0.162 or 16.2% chance of those two hits being blocked. Some people consider this extremely lucky, but considering the amount of attempts, it's actually quite reasonable.
If you still have doubts, feel free to scrutinise the clear as much as you feel necessary (you won't find anything, the run isn't cheated), and if you have any questions, post a comment and I shall answer, I read them all. Make sure to be respectful!
Thank you all for your support! This video has really blown up and I am extremely thankful for this!

How many hours do u have in hollow knight?

@@MetaAbusser good job on beating any radiance
Good response, reading comments is good but when a video gets thousandos of comments, reading all comments becomes bothersome and tiring, so take care and dont overburden yourself.
Team Cherry needs to release Silksong fast or else this guy will do hitless any radiance using his feet instead of hands
miyazaki would love that...
When you realize that he was actually using his feet this whole time.
Dont give them ideas
Or no hit Any Radiance 2.0
lol🤣
I can't even get to absoulute radiance and this guys just no-hitting the hardest modded version of the boss ever
Then clearly you havent seen AnyRad 2. Cant even DDark on the floor spikes.
Well it's not exactly a no hit
When using baldur shell or when carefree melody activate's it counts as getting hit but well... You dont die
It's like receiving damage, but it's actually 0 damage
@@genaroperez8325 any radiance is practically impossible without getting hit
@@genaroperez8325 this is why it's called a no damage, not a no hit

this is absolutely insane. feels like yesterday I was watching fire's video on how Any Radiance was nearly impossible, and now there's a hitless clear. god gamer
Thank you!
Indeed absolutely insane
*damageless not hitless but yeah still an absolutely amazing achievement
Saaaame man

@@toast9219 Provide evidence to said claim.
@@toast9219 Your mom is fake too
@@toast9219 how so? It is possible you are just an idiot
The getting hit with baldur shell to reactivate carefree melody is actually so clever
I mean, that's not the reason why you use baldur shell there (you use it because towards the peak, any radiances accuracy becomes unbearingly high so you basically have to block the hits or you WILL get hit) but yes, it's a veeeeery neat side effect of that.
Modder: "This fight was designed to be literally impossible."
Speedrunners: "Hold my SOUL vessel"
It was only a matter of when, not if. Maddest of props.
@Sequoid won't be doing any challenges for a while, taking a break
It was also so patient to get 2 carefree melody procs. Im not sure on the odds but they seem bad. You can’t really avoid hits in the climb without good rng.
No fucking way, this just doesn't seem feasibly possible, holy fuck dude, well done
They cheated you see multiple time they faze through
at 0:56 if u slow it down to 0.1 speed u see that after the descending dark he gets up and the light wall goes through.
Ar 1:04 if u slow it down to 0.1 speed again you clearly see the light balls overlaps the knights sprit
at 0:56 you clearly see they are not using baldaur shell and at 1:04 you see that they were moving so they could not have used baldaur shell either way
It is even more suspicius cuz they popped in only recently.
@@bigman7271 imagine trying to put down someone accomplishment and blame them for cheating without even knowing how the game works. I-frames exist. Common knowledge. Weirdo
@@bigman7271 for the first accusation, ddark lasts for a bit longer than the animation shows, so that was legit. Second accusation they literally didnt?
@@Uooneke fot the second one I thought that the balls touched the sprite
@@bigman7271
I can confirm from personal experience that the hitbox of those orbs are smaller than they look. There wasn’t an actual hit.
I think the only way this could be pushed further is to do it without melody... which os even more rng. Huge congrats on this
You could do full bindings on it...
@@deffnotanalt312 there's no way you'd get through climb phase on all bindings
You are guaranteed to get hit there and with low masks and no carefree you're dead
Hmm... When I think about it you're practically dead when you start the any rad fight

Holy shit, this is actually mesmerizing to watch! The skill you demonstrated here is phenomenal beyond the levels of my own comprehension, I genuinely didn't think this was possible. GGxINFINITY for your amazing win and may you keep dropping our jaws dude :D
Also, since you are the first to defeat 'God of Meme', I think that it is only fair that you become a mod on Fireb0rn's server ;)
I appreciate your comment, kind sir!
wish fireb0rn would notice me ;-;
He needs to see this!
He is the first to radiant but not the first to defeat any rad.judging by his video,he defeated anyrad 2-3 months ago,and many people had already defeated anyrad by then

@@yourfriendlyneighborhoodpr7529 My bad, I now see that I didnt put 'hitless' in the comment, I must have slipped, sorry
Those melody hits were so lucky jeez
GG! Amazing achievement
First is not. He hit the boss enough times for it to have 100% chance of triggering. The second I dunno. It was above 50% though.
Agamemnon of Mycenae First of all, inform yourself, carefree Melody percentage doesn’t go above 90ish% and the percentage increases each hit YOU take,not each hit you deal to the boss.
@@agamemnonofmycenae5258 doesn't it increase the chance to block the hit when getting hit and not hitting the boss? The Wiki says so.
@@Delenomes Yeah you're correct. The counter increases with hits taken, not with hits dealt.
@@lunaris5685 I investigated this topic and video creator claims that bolder shield blocks count as hits towards the Melody counter. Idk if thats true but it would explain the double hit block
Another milestone hit that was thought nigh impossible, at one point in time people thought Any Radience was impossible, then after beating it people started trying to beat it without spells a major component in dodging, and now you've haven beat it without getting hit. At this point someone's gonna beat it without spells hitless, and then some crazy person's gonna start getting rid of charms one by one. This community will forever stun me.
I don’t think hitless no spells is possible due to the twin light bars
Welcome to the silksong waiting room
@@mittens4385 Would it be possible to shadow dash or is the window too short?
I think it would be possibly but you’d be racing the other one to the edge whilst it recharged, completely vulnerable to whatever happens next
@@mittens4385 there's gaps in between each light ray, it's how the AnyRad 2 TAS dodged them

Those carefree melodies came In clutch.
Absolutely incredible. Well done.
Higher being, these words are for you alone: What the actual fuck
-now do it but radiant-
You ever look at something that makes you realize just how scary humans can be when they’re determined to accomplish a goal at any cost?
No cost to great...
No frick to heck
No mind to think.
this is definitely one of the coolest feats to come out of the hk community… good job dude, this level of skill makes pantheon 5 look like a joke. absolutely insane
Insane? Absolutely Insane? No.
DAMAGELESS ANY INSANE (first)
HE FUCKING DID IT CONGRATS META
congrats on defeating radiance for the first time meta!
(In all seriousness, this is amazing, good job!)
I came into this video expecting this to be fake - invincibility hacks or something of the like. However, having watched the video carefully looking for such evidence, I am shocked to announce that this is 100% legitimate with no cheats or mods, other than the one to add any radiance in the first place, involved.
Congrats on this insane feat. I knew this was only a matter of time before someone did it, but seeing it finally happen feels like a fever dream.
Congrats dude I knew you could do it! Now you can finally stop fighting this boss right? :^)
next is radiant without charms
and after that with broken nail
@@RoiGamez he already did the without charms one
Edit: he did nail bending too
..right?
@@RoiGamez Radiant without Carefree Melody, then Radiant without Shell then only Radiant without charms.

What. The. Actual. Fuck. On the plus side, now people won't be able to say 'now do it radiant' anymore!! Big GGs! Radiant nail only whe-
me: dont even think about it
I think it is impossible without the descending dark s.
And then there's me, who struggles with P5 Sly.
Seriously though, this is amazing. Seeing you do this gives me the hope that I'll probably get through P5 one day.
two of my runs ended on the hornet that comes after sly. so uh. don’t let that happen. and also don’t lose to zote. fuck zote.
@@marblight2068 I'm more worried about the Zote. Thank you for the advice, though!

@@josephgartmayer8673 Everyone needs to practice. No one starts out amazing at the game.

This is so good! The perfect amount of soul generated for the DDarks, the positioning between attacks, the sword rain dodges and that magnificent last phase.
Great job! :D
hard to believe this isnt a tas, but a tas would be maximizing the ammount of nail hits on the radiance, so i cant acutally communicate the ammount of respect i have for this man.
I didn't think I would see radiant any rad beaten so soon, huge congrats man
I've only had Hollow Knight for a year now, and I only own it on console at this moment. The amount of skill and breath-taking strategies for speed runs, bosses, and even pantheons is overwhelming at best. On a side note, this has to be one of the first videos I have seen myself for a world record, not trying to gain brownie points on this though. I would love to learn as much as I can from this game and see more content of it and eventually see everyone melt over Silksong too. From a gamer, to a gamer, I would love to see more come from you, and the rest of the HK community, for, as I search more and more, the more breath-taking views and skillsets always surprise me. I hope one day I can match up to people like you with such a set! I believe with such devotion, you deserve a small break, but I think we all know that won't last long for there is always more to do. Kind regards and Congratulations from a stranger on the internet who enjoyed your video and was absolutely astounded.

Thank you for your kind words!
I am currently taking a break from hollow knight, though this is mostly because there are not many challenges I can do that would be of a similar achievement as this (after all, this challenge was considered a meme for being impossible ever since the creation of the boss). I don't know when or if I will return to make more content, but I hope I will find something as I really enjoy making these kinds of videos.

Just a lil' correction for some people who got this video wrong.
This is NOT a no-hit, this guy DID get hit at some points.
However, he did not try to hide this fact from us, the title even says "No Damage".
Still an impressive feat, obviously, but I just wanna sprinkle this so people don't mix no-hit and no damage.
Indeed, I made sure not to write the words 'no-hit' or 'hitless' anywhere
because that's what many people don't understand. "Radiant" doesn't mean "no hit". It simply means "taking damage kills you". And they didn't take damage so everything's cool ^^
I will say, that was a very well performance, I did watch the video over again in .25 speed just to make sure, and as far as I could see there wasn't any points that they got hit, but didn't take damage, so this runs seems legit, and the luck with carefree to avoid damage was lucky, and as meta said in their comment, they had done alot of runs, and that luck isn't unlikely for the amount of runs of any radiance, also anyone who says that the run is cheated, to really verify (If) they chested, for frame by frame and check the run for hits, because there weren't any hits that I saw, great job Meta 😀
thank you for your comment !
its been so long since cotton first beat any radiance. . .
but this is just mental, great job on being a worlds first :)
This is quite extraordinary. I can not grasp the pure amount of skill you possess. Job well done Sir
Now I have to do this too. But seriously congratulations, this is amazing!
Dude, this is absolutely insane! The movements were incredibly precise, specially when dodging the falling spikes on first phase's end! Dude, you definitely nailed it! I saw you saying 450 hours just on this! Aside from the other 400 hours loool! No words can describe such event! Congratulations!
Guys remember, this boss was made as a joke impossible boss…
your insane, u def deserve more recognition for what u do
omg I love frown
Do you think it's physically and mathematically possible to do any radiance with all bindings? I doubt it since you wouldn't have any resources to survive the ascent phase like baldur's shell or carefree melody, but I'd like to hear your opinion.
yep, ofc it's possible. Not only that, I think it will happen soon... :)
@@MetaAbusser Oh dear. Good luck with that!
@@MetaAbusser I'm no longer surprised yet I'm terrified by that sentence
@@MetaAbusser Wouldn't mask binding + charm binding alone remove every viable climb strategy?
@@neutraldalek4222 you would have to use the void strat, but starting more than half way up since you can only void 3 times. The luck is comparable to radiant (you need slightly more luck for this) but it's possible
This is quite possibly the most insane thing I've ever seen. Congrats
Congrats man. This is really really impressive, especially considering that any radiance was considered impossible for a long time.
I find this run incredibly impressive. You really did an amazing job
Wait, so you've become the first to defeat Radiant Any Radiance? That's awesome! What's even crazier is that you absolutely come out of thin air! And what's even craziest is that double carefree melody charm luck! Your heart must be all over the place in those 2 moments for sure xD Now let's all now wait for FireBorn's documentary about this xD
- Yes, the first and currently only person to beat Rad AnyRad
- I didn't expect it either xD
- It actually wasn't crazy lucky, I calculated a 16.2% chance of carefree proccing in those two locations
- Yep, I was insanely stressed in last phase but thankfully I didn't choke
- I doubt fire will make a video on me... :(
Thanks for your support!!!
I think its cool that your still acknowledging comments despite not playing the game anymore
is fun
Honestly this is really satisfying to watch, good job on completing such a difficult challenge!
thank you!
That is really cool, great job on the clear! Must've taken a lot of devotion and it sure payed off!
meta, this is amazing, im so fascinating... im so so proud. i thought it was impossible!
:D
How it feels to chew 5 gum.
I can’t even imagine how much your heart was racing when carefree blocked those hits, U ARE INSANE MAN, GGs!
I was actually a little disappointed when the first hit was blocked, I thought the run was over as I was at the mercy of climb RNG. Luckily I managed to reach the baldur spot to increment carefree with baldur hits, and after the 2nd carefree block the stress really kicked in xD
@@MetaAbusser The amount of memorization for each attack pattern is crazy, even I jumped from my chair in the final climb. This is peak hollow knight as of now.
Are you actually just the god of hollow knight? I'm not sure if I remember seeing you in fireborns video on Any Radiance, but if you weren't, he should totally make a sequel with you in it. You're insanely good and the dedication you have to do this is absurd.
i wasnt in the video sadly, my first clear was approx. 2 weeks after his video
This is honestly mesmrizing to watch. I cant even start to think that someone actully did this. Your amazing dude keep it up!
You are truly any rad master u earned a sub and good luck to 1k subs!
thank you! I'm close!
that was an insanely optimal transition into the climb phase
by necessity
@@MetaAbusser huge congrats on beating this challenge man you’re crazy

i want to believe this is real but my brain just cant process the amount of godly power you must have to not just beat it, but do it hitless i know it isnt fake but like... how..? you are a legend (if this was poorly written please know that i havent slept in a day)
Thanks! It took a lot of effort and luck but I'm glad I went through with it!
WOW!
how is it possible that another human being did this
Was rewatching fire's video about this boss and saw a comment that it had now been done damage-less!!! This is absolutely INSANE!!! I'm a casual player myself (haven't made it through any pantheons yet) so I just love sitting back and watching talented people do what they do. This was so mesmerizing!! GG!
:D
Dude must've gotten cardiac arrest at the end or something because that was intense.
I like how slowly you and fireb0rn play. Shows that sometimes you don't need to mash keys at lightning speed, but just get your senses sharp and persist.
Thanks! Unlike most Any Radiance clearers, I do not have much experience with speedrunning or speedkilling, so I'm not very trained in that aspect. Additionally, every movement and attack in this challenge is deliberate and precise as any small mistake would end the attempt, so it is important to take it slow and keep your focus.
@@MetaAbusser and I believe that's how the game was supposed to be played from the very beginning.Speedrunning is cool and such but speed is not the most important factor in the game: surviving is.
@@IschmarVI it's just up to the player to decide what they enjoy and how they want to play it. I personally will probably never get into speedrunning, but that's just because I don't enjoy it
Excuse me, what the fuck?
The fact that you could clear Anyrad in Radiant is absolutely insane, congratulations man.
This is clearly cheated, the music was turned off.
THIS IS A JOKE PLEASE DON’T CANCEL ME
actually tho why is the music off? what's the point?
@@graelmir5991 to focus ofc
@@hi28 oh that makes sense, also just realised that the music might get annoying if you hear it for hours so turning it off makes sense. i was just thinking at the time it'd be easier to fake if the music is off, cause it'd be obvious if the music just skipped forwards/backwards mid fight
Beautifully done! This is a joy to watch. I love watching you sneak in hits during the sword rains and your climb was very smooth. Great job!
well, it was only a matter of time before this foot was achieved,
and to think that sometime ago this was considered unbeatable,
still man amazing job, and you deserve more props for your work.
alternate title: radiance vs the true shade lord
Dude what the heck. Honestly videos like this reminds me of how bad i am at this Game, but them also wants me to improve. What a controversial thought. Btw u are an absolute beast
I know how you did that! You absorbed wayward compass into yourself!

@@MetaAbusser how did you do it?
@@MasterIsabelle secret :3
Congrats for the run dude.
I have seen videos before of people doing this boss overcharmed or on ascended difficulty but going from that to No-Damage is a very big difference.
But tbh I'm more impressed by your motivation to get this run rather than the run itself. There are some TAS videos perfectly fighting this boss but for an actual human to do it requires a lot of perseverance. GG's
I wondered why you were using baldur shell. Genius!
Y-you didn’t even use wayward compass, this being is on a different plane of reality
I’ve used my eyes after writing a silly comment. This never claimed to be hitless 10/10
haha I read it from notifications XD
No damage now, hitless later ;)
really nice performance, I'm very impressed. Definitely a luck aspect with the carefree melody on this no damage but still really quite incredible.
Without carefree, the rng required is much worse (climb is just stupid)
He finally did it. Congrats man
I cant say ive ever seen someone get that much use out of carefree melody and baulder shell, great job, i cant imagine trying this
honestly absolutely amazing, the melody hits were insane I can only imagine how many attempts were shattered due to how bad the rng can be at times but regardless absolutely insane
True, this boss has a crazy amount of rng, which is a big reason why it was generally considered impossible to do Radiant
The challenging part isn't him beating any radiance let alone no damage, but him beating a radiance fight with no music
Dude just beat the hardest boss ever hitless and I cannot even do the trial of the fool. Congrats !!
@Magicboi I thought the trial was significantly easier than NKG. Although nowdays both are easy for me.
imagine beating radiant any radiance and the only thanks you get is just "ok"
I actually regain my belief in humanity every time something like this happens
congrats on whats probably one of the biggest achievements in hk history
Congratulations on doing the impossible!

wtf this is actually so insane congrats on this incredible achievement
Can’t wait until someone beats this without spells, charms, a nail, or the knight
Jeez man you remind me of a certain battle between a kid and the devil ft. A fiddle
Im surprised Fireb0rn didn't review this. I know you use carefree melody but idc this is the first no damage run and deserves more recognition
istg this is actually by far the most impressive play in any video game ive ever seen, amazing job on doing this
Actually chad behavior.

Now i'm waiting for the fireb0rn "how the god gamer beated the hardest boss without getting hit" video
I wish, but I doubt it
This is absolutely incredible. I can only imagine the number of attempts and how fast your heart was racing.
His heart when sleeping:
His heart when exercising:
His heart when fighting any radiance without getting hit once:
