Absolute Radiance is Kind of Crazy...

  • This isn't even her final form...
    This is Ascended difficulty where all attacks are double damage. Radiant difficulty is a true nightmare for Absolute Radiance. There are so many things that can go wrong.
    As a side note, this is also pre-nerf where the orbs were glitched in the final phase. She also has slightly more health overall.

    Can beat Pure Vessel and NKG in Radiant, still can't get attuned for this boss. I think I lack the patience to fight her. Her orbs home amazingly well and they move very fast. Sometimes the screen brightness will make the orbs almost impossible to see. On top of that, her second form has very few perfect windows to get hits in.
    They need to fix her final form because those glitching orbs are bullshit.

It was confusing, and sometimes it would seem like the orbs would just appear out of no where.

    Personally, the first phase where she's on the ground is slightly challenging but doable. The hardest part is that second phase with the platforms, which is also the part I hate. If you're really lucky, she would always be above a platform, but if not, she's constantly teleporting to hard-to-reach places and the edge of the arena. Very RNG based, not something I appreciate.
    As for the final phase, it's really not too hard. The orbs actually despawn if they go off screen, and you don't have to follow the radiance as she will naturally teleport to the middle or to the platform you're at, so focusing on dodging the orbs should be your priority, then hitting her only when she's near.
    Overall, really challenging fight. Kinda wish any bullets that spawn from her sprite are actually more visible, cuz even with my brightness lowered, it's still really hard to see them. But this is definitely doable considering I've killed her. As for that final pantheon...idk if I actually want to do it, considering the insanity she'll give me, despite managing to proceed all the way to her in the final pantheon on my best attempt.

    There are so many difficult things about this boss. First, the homing missiles don't despawn for ages so when there's 4 chasing you it's so hard to dodge. Second, when he does multiple attacks at the same time, in which is becomes almost impossible to see what's going on. Third, the nails that come out of the ground - absolute radiance may combine this with a sideways nail attack or the big beam of light which is just so hard. Fourth, you lose 2 hearts to pretty much everything so it's as if you have 5 hearts without extra heart charms. Fifth, he has so much health so you have to stay alive for so long. He's so difficult!

    I encountered a glitch while training against the Radiance, if you split her fight in 6 phases the glitch happened in phase 3. I was 1 hit away from dying after completing phase 3 but for some reason while the radiance was still on the floor, a row nails that she rains down in phase 3 still appeared when it wasn't supposed to since the radiance is down and was ready to transition to the 4th phase but I end up getting killed by those out of nowhere nails but after I appeared back the hall of Gods but the screen never stopped shaking after I died. I left the hall of Gods the screen still shook, I left godhome the screen still shook, I entered a fifth with the PV the screen continued to shake it was only after I entered the fight against the Absolute Radiance again did the screen stop shaking. It was cool to encounter this glitch but it just got in the way of what I was doing.

      I'm using Quick Slash/Mark of Pride/Unbreakable Strength/Longnail. I kind of started using Longnail with radiant Collector and have been slow to switch it back to joke charms. There are also other good options to switch it out for.

    • @bahamutakaryu6346
      @bahamutakaryu6346 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      i see ... longnail + mark of pride on radiance seens pointless since you have to jump to hit him on phase 1 regardless of the combo and on phase 2 and 3 you pretty much attack at melee range the entire time, if you are going for radiant dificult i would suggest something to maximase your damage, glowing womb or grimmchild (since radiance stand still for every attack anyway) seens good options i think but its all just a guess im not a "pro" on the game i just trying to finish it so i need to train on radiant "ascended" so when the time comes i can deal with him after pure vessel, if im wrong just let me know xD

    • @CrankyTemplar
      @CrankyTemplar  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You're correct Longnail isn't too handy on Radiance (the only benefit is that you don't need to jump for 1-2 platforms in P3 if you stand perfectly under her). I'm not a fan of pet charms so I tend to not use them, though they can be useful. I know dreamshield can block her orbs if it impacts against it. Grubberfly is popular for radiant difficulty because of the range and constant uptime.
      There are many good charms, but I played quite a few no charm runs so I'm not used to really experimenting with charms. I also really don't want to overcharm (though I have experimented with some charm builds that overcharmed me).

    Every one is saying that absolute radiance is the hardest boss but in my opinion after I fought him today and took me around 38 try to beat him the first time ( of course I died to the fifth pantheon ) I still think NKG is the hardest boss in the game , I mean he took me more than 60 try to beat him the first time , even pure vessel didn't take me that much ( he took me around 38 try as well ) so I don't agree with other people who says NKG isn't the hardest boss anymore I think he still the hardest tho

    • @SuddenlySlanted
      @SuddenlySlanted 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was terrified by NKG when I first started learning the fight. SUPER intimidating and way faster than his troupe master counterpart. But as i started learning the fight I realized that there are always only 4 attacks, and he's one of the few bosses that you can actually tell roughly what health he's at because he does pufferfish every 25% health.
      After trying to practice him to get through him in the 5th pantheon, I started realizing I could do it on ASC, and started clearing it regularly. then I got ballsy and tried it on radiant...took me a few tries and stupid mistakes but I actually downed him. and I sat back and went...wow he's actually a relatively predicable boss. fun as all hell but I struggled much more with absrad.
      I'm honestly not even a fan of absrad. I hate the fact that there is SOOOO much RNG. NKG and PV are both skill-based fights, fast paced and with little rng. If you die, you know why you died and 99% of the time, it was your fault. But with absrad, two attacks that shouldn't be on screen at the same time are and you get absolutely destroyed...you get to the platform phase and she can just be a bitch not teleporting where you need her to, flying around and comboing attacks that are nearly impossible to dodge just because of bad luck.

      Good day! No need for flattery good sir, I see this is one of the few videos where I did not show charms at the end and I don't remember exactly what I used.
      Generally though, fragile/unbreakable strength is excellent. Quick Slash is decent but not necessary, Mark of Pride is handy of you like range charms (not needed but I like to use it). If you use spells I highly recommend Shaman Stone as Abyss Shriek does a lot of damage on this fight. That works well with a nail build, although Spell Twister or Soul Catcher/Soul Eater can be good if you have space.
