16:03 I blacked out. No idea how I didn't get hit there. Anyways, timestamps for specific bosses in description.
EDIT: I forgot Flukemarm, but... I don't think anyone needs tips for that one, so. Meh.
Great video
Yikes, my ass clenched just looking at that
You just wanted absolute radiant to shave your butt hairs for you
Something important to note:
When fighting the mawlek you can just use grubbersfly elegy (I don’t know if I wrote that right) and beat the crap out of him, at that point the only thing to worry about in that fight is the flying goo, but that shouldn’t be to difficult to dodge.
How do you forget the sexy beast

"stay still to avoid danger"
Ah yes, my whole life
Ah yes, 2020
Ah yes, me
GameAce 999
Touché, sir
YaBoi Alpha ???
"Clearing the entire hall of gods took me 6 days, 5 of which were spent on GPZ, Markoth, and AbsRad." I've never felt a statement more.
Yeah but how did he do pure vessel and nkg in a day
Also I think it was
1 day gpz
2 days absolute radiance
100 days markoth
Actually I since did radiant markoth and it's not hard, you just have to adopt a completely different charm build and play style than you would've had
@@bgmarshall My question is, because i've havent try it get... if you lose to one of the final bosses, you start all over again?? how is that it took you to 2 days to beat absolute radiance alone, or you were starting all over again and again constantly?
@@maximilianomichell3596 ?
That was 1:a joke and 2:you just do the fight in the hall of gods over and over, this isn't hitless p5
Think he said weeks
Best tip for AbsRad: Use Descending Dark on her floor spikes. I've lost many fights to her camping on top of her floor spikes, leaving me no chance to damage her, and eventually get hit due struggling to balance dodging while finding an opportunity to damage her. Let that be a lesson for all bosses in general. The faster you kill the boss, the less opportunities there for to make mistakes.
The tried and true strategy of you can't kill me if you're dead
@@mr.mothlyOr the even truer strategy of you can’t hit me if i’m dumb enough to jump off the arena, Hitting myself.
Basically: Sharpshadow to the win.
Ye, idk why but sharp shadow often gets much hate, tbh it's my favourite charm
@@littleskeleton420 I like it but I dont use it much because it dont work for me
@@littleskeleton420 the dash distance change is mostly why, especially since it's tied to a fix cool down rather than a player input
Heh, imagine killing broken vessel on radiant and then getting hit by a infection blob and it doesn’t count
*Cries in a corner*
Radiant Marmu killed me and my Dream Shield killed her as I was dying. Apparently the game took pity on me and counted it as a win.
That happened with enraged guardian and it still counted, maybe because bv has a loner death animation
Broken Vessel is really easy though. Now if you were talking about Lost Kin, I'd understand.
Just 100%ed the Hall of Gods about 10 minutes ago, and I couldn’t possibly be happier to be done with it. If you’re not a big spell user, here’s a few tips for Abs Rad:
-If you have Strength, Quick Slash, and Grubberfly Elegy, you can be dealing either 46 or 62 damage per hit, since some projectiles can hit twice.
-If you’re super brave, you can skip a ton of time on Phase 4 if you have the above load out. I waited for Abs Rad to teleport above a platform, and then keep my feet on the ground while spamming up slash. If you’re quick enough, she might only be able to teleport once or twice before going up.
-On her last phase, do NOT play aggressive, even if that’s your main play style. There’s nothing more embarrassing than dashing straight into an orb or mis-timing your double jump and falling into the void.
This boss took me 4 days to beat, compared to the 3 I took for every other boss combined. This is a patience test, because there are a ton of times where you’re going to die over something that’s way too difficult to dodge or read. Don’t be afraid to takes breaks, and you’ll beat her eventually.
I honestly would love a difficulty ranking for this, the radiant mechanics completely change the fights. Like Gruz mother becomes way harder because of the spikes, no eyes and Markoth become hell, meanwhile bosses like Traitor lord and enraged guardian drop down on the list because their damage is now equal to all other bosses
Another strategy for Marmu: Long Nail, Mark of Pride and stay in a single corner. Everytime they come your direction hit them away from your corner by jumping toward them and slashing. Marmu's bouncing is much more predictable this way and you spend less time re-adjusting your positioning. Think of it like king of the corner, that corner is yours and if Marmu gets to close, you push them away.
Gonna try this, because Marmu is really annoying
Quickslash, Grubberfly’s elegy, Steady body, Strength + another charm works too. Stay in a corner and slash into the center without stopping and marmu should never be able to hit you (unless i got lucky) (Also this is the only scenario you should use steady body imo)
"It took me 6 days to complete the hall of gods."
Me with 400 hours and has only beat p5 with the debug mod: heheh, yeah you suck.
Edit: now rounding to 500 hours. Still no win but I'm doing steel soul for the "first" time for the 8th time (think about it).
Thank you. Helpful to know I'm not the only one struggling
@@ayushsrivastava9364 yeah, I always die around failed champion cause it's difficult in the opposite way GPZ is, so my mind never adjusts in time for a sudden mace to the face.
I have 300 hours.
Of course, half of that is me forgetting to turn off the game when I left to do something else.
Steel soul isn’t that difficult, if it weren’t for me of course. Because I can literally end runs, here’s a few hints to help you in your pathetic, doomed plight:
1) Fragile charms for the win. The drawback is naught, because, well, dying is like, death.
2) Stay away from crystal peak and deepest for as long as possible.
3) Get spells as soon as possible, and make them shadowy
4) the last pale ore you should get is the conqueror trial, because you have to go through me to get it.
Good luck chief
Steel soul is really hard for all the wrong reasons lol
Its main difficulty comes from the stress of constantly being on your toes rather then the actuall challenge of not dying
Basically if you play it slow you’re guaranteed a win.
My steel soul file is currently my main one with 112 all radiant bosses +p5
My recommendation for radiant markoth and how I beat them is I made a full spell build (spell twister soul catcher and eater, and shaman stone) and then I add nailmaster's glory and use exclusively great slash until phase 2 and then I have enough soul for 8 spells (soul twister) and the damage from shaman stone, so he has basically no health in phase 2
Also you can easily get 2 great slashes in before he starts attacking, and maybe 3 depending on his movement. Also great slash can get past the shield
Quick tip for pure vessel.
After every attack of his you can get in one to two hits. Dash through the daggers and jump over everything else. Every time after you attack you should jump. His three swipes attack will need a dash to clear. When he dashes at you don't pogo, just land and strike. When he does the blades from the ground it is easier to evade in the air because the blades are tapered and, you are more maneuverable in the air.
(I am not sure if this works with the broken vessel)
If you have a problem with Lost Kin than grab:
Grimmchild, Glowing Womb, Grubsong, Weaversong and Defender's crest.
When the fight starts go to the right wall, mantis claw up until you barely can see the knight and hold crystal dash. The Lost Kin can't jump to you, the ghost are killed by Grimmchild, Glowing Womb attacks the boss, and Weaversong collects soul. Now just hold the button and wait. If your weaver get's stuck just Crystal dash into the other wall and reposition yourself.
I thought you would just say ''This one is impposible, good luck.'' At Absolute Radiance
For Abs Rad: If spell builds aren’t working for you, Steady Body + Quickslash is lowkey broken against Radiance. She doesn’t deal contact damage, so you can go nuts before she even starts attacking. The build I had equipped when I beat radiant Radiance was Strength, Shaman Stone, Quickslash, Steady Body, and Mark of Pride.
14:58 i have just been pogoing on his head during that attack and it works just fine
Are the pillar hit boxes not big enough to reach you?
Link9058 no u just move from side to side to avoid them
Koala Duks oh
I remember doing this shit a while back and I'll tell ya... I did it in half the time Rusty did and it still felt like torture. Maybe it's just practice, but my fights with Zote, Markoth and the Radiance were surprisingly quick (under an hour each). With that said there were some that I feel like gave me more trouble than they should have. God Tamer just loved walking into me for some reason, the Hive Knight and Oblobbles kept sniping me, and I would always dash right into the Watcher Knights as they start a roll. Definitely a challenge only for the most dedicated.
When he said you won’t finish this in a day I just immediately thought of crankytemplar
So I am INCREDIBLY weird apparently and heres why. Im THIS close to finally clearing P5 for the first time and im having trouble only on AbsRad obviously. But ive learnt some tricks so that I can speed kill all the bosses on my way back to AbsRad after I get royally screwed every time I reach her. The charm setup thats been working for me is Strength Longnail Shaman Stone and quickslash. Using a mix of nail and spell just fits my playstyle but here are thing ive learned from doing the 5th Pantheon countless amount of times. (If the boss aint there just assume what rusty said)
False Knight: if you smack quick enough you can knock him down before hes even able to throw a punch.
Hornet Protector: after shes stunned she almost always jumps up and over you... Time to scream and smack 2 times and stun once again.
Both Defenders all just tall enough to scream into when theyre stunned IF you stand close enough to em.
Oro and Mato: when one guards and the other jumps attacks you, if you go between the two they will almost always do the standard attack towards each other to "pincer" you so thats a great time to use descending dark.
Both Crystal Guardians are just punching bags for your quick smack fest. You have to dodge maybe once or twice before they die.
Soul Master: when Phase 2 begins, you can actually scream as an anticipation and maybe get some cheeky hits in. Also a dash is not always required to escape his dive. Moving to the side and jumping will 8/10 work just keep in mind he moves his dive to hit you... Weirdo. Also before each of the new dive, you can preemptively scream and dash away to lower his health.
I personally LOVE Sisters of Battle. For me its just Pogo Simulator.
Soul Tyrant: the scream trick from Master does NOT work here. He dives too fast. However if you want a full scream to hit, when he does his clock attack, if you get RIGHT UNDER his feet, you can scream and escape the attack safely.
Collector: tall enough to scream while stunned. Just get close
TMG: if you HAVE SOUL, smack him asap and scream as much as you got. If not, then wait a cycle
Hornet sentinel: she jumps too fast to use scream to constantly stun her. Risky move.
No eyes: youre a b****
Traitor Lord: shadow dash through horizontal attacks and when you see him do a vertical dive attack, use scream.
Markoth: i hate you more than AbsRad
GPZ: smack dodge snd dash simulator
NKG: DONT DO THE SCREAM TECHNIQUE. ITS NOT WORTH THE MINIMUM 2 MASKS
Pure Vessel: literally learned to parry the hollow knight on my steel soul run and it applies perfectly. Also he's tall enough to scream when stunned
AbsRad: f*** you
Yo rusty try these out and tell me if im insane or not cause these work just fine for me lmao
4:31 When broken vessel goes nuts in the middle you can acually pogo him and go left right to dodge and do hits without worrying about dying.
If anyone still strugles with the falseknight, you can actually kill him before he hits a single time if you have quick slash and a unbreakable/fragile strenght equiped. If you start hitting him right when he gets up, jump into the air when he does to get one or two extra hits in, en keep nail spamming when he starts preparing to go savage on the floor you take him down 99 out of 100 times whitout him ever landing a single blow on the ground
For collector, try to remain in the middle of the screen, dashing towards jars that are dropped to spawn kill the extras. The delayed drop is the boss. The boss’s only regular attack is following a jump, so let them jump over you and just destroy them with quick slash and strength
My tip for dealing with bosses that i think have been missed here:
1. when broken vessel is in a frenzy of blobs you can downslash on him consistently and alternate left and right to avoid the blobs that go right above him and never get him. This phase also comes when broken vessel is just about on his last bit of health so going yolo on him is usually not regrettable in this phase
2. Quick Slash. QUICK SLASH. especially against the second floor of bosses.
3. If you really do not have any options then go for a pogo on radiance when she's summoning orbs during the first and platforming phase. This allows you to recharge both your dash and wings and also give you a bit of more ground to dodge them. (Altho dont D.D after this unless you are 100% sure of you not plunging into the void singing "dream on")
another tip for Flase Knight/Champion:
Apparently his mace counts as an "extra body" so when he goes his beserk things, spam shade soul at him and if you time it right one shade soul can hit "him" 3 times.
I have never thought about using the baldur shell charm!! I feel stupid now thanks for the tips
Just bested Pure Vessel on Radiant, here is another tip: If you shadow dashed through him when he just did an atack be ready to jump, he will 50% of the times try to atack you again before the shadow dash recharges
I can tell you had fun with the mmc section
for lost kin, just go with a minion build and chill in the top corner by holding c dash. it takes a while but its easy
for the lost kin, i have a better suggestion. charms should be - defenders crest, to deal with the bubbles. quick focus, to heal quickly when you stun him. and quick slash to just face tank and obliterate him. i had trouble on the lost kin for 2 days, no joke until i tried this and i killed him first try
This dude really recommends thorns of agony and Baldur shell for a radiant boss
Hey guys, if you are having problems with lost Kin or forgotten vessel, use the defenders crest, it will kill the balloon ghost things
Broken vessel & lost kin; equip all minion charms + defenders crest, and go to the top corner of the screen and hold crystal dash. He can't hit you there, but your minions can hit him.
Wow I really wish I had known about shade soul-ing ascended markoth when I did it. I’ll definitely use that in the pantheon!
On the Lost Kin fight i found out that defender's crest actually kills the orange bastards before they touch you. The damage of the charm is enough.
I'm thinking about trying a steel soul playthrough soon. (not necessarily looking to 112% it, just see if I can beat any of the endings.) And honestly, after spending so much time practicing these fights, I'm more scared of that crystal tunnel on the way to the dreamnail than I am of any of the bosses.
You can use a great slash at Grimm at the beginning of the fight and after he screams immediately get a nail hit on him, it will damage him a bunch of HP
That shade souls with hornets spikes
is amazing wish I new that before I beat it lmao 😂
The tip about learning the fight by only dodging is great. That's how I learned sif in ds1
Rusty, my dude, you keep putting charm loadouts that can't be used, even when overcharmed.
HOW MANY TIMES DO I NEED TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON, OLD MAN?!?!?
You gotta rearrange the order broski
@@Xaero13 yet again, even when putting the ones with less notches first, it doesnt fit
The fact that RUSTY forgot flukemarm means that flukemarm ambience is clearly in the works
For false knight you can use grubberfly elegy to hit during the barrels falling
Use Grubberfly's Elegy for Paintmaster sheo white defender and the Lost Kin and keep your distance it will make such a huge diference
- ALWAYS overcharm. Double damage means nothing when you get one-hit death anyway
- Grubberfly's Elegy gains a lot of value since you will be at full health the entire fight
- Focus more on dodging than actually hitting, you have all the time in the world to deal damage, but one mistake means death.
A tip: If you have a spare charm notch, use Steady Body against Marmu or bosses that you can strike back(Hive Knight or Broken Vessel). It will gift you the precious "less to walk, more hits". Good luck!👍
If you use defender’s crest on lost kin you delete the ghosts when they come close to you. Without the ghosts it’s pretty easy if you’re careful
7:05 the noob build
me, looking at my charms equiped: oh........
It’s just the nail build + sharp shadow.
1 tip for SoB: if you need to heal, and you have quick focus, cling on the wall, wait for the three lords to cling to the opposite wall, wait for the last to throw, jump down and immediately heal.
TH-cam WHY DIDN’T YOU RECOMMEND THIS VIDEO WHEN I WAS DOIND FIFTH PANTHEON GODDAMIT
You can beat Protector Hornet and massive moss charger with quick slash, grubfly’s elegy, UB strenght, Heavy blow
2 more things i would say that could help 1 dont under estimate grubberflys elegy bc well u cant take damage and its i think 75 % nail damage and for grimm and nkg i always use nail arts and never needed nail master glory bc by next attack its back up but i havnt really tried the harder ones yet tho (also dont use grubberflys elegy for nkg and grimm it doesnt work on nail arts)
To beat radiant masive moss charger i used gruberfly elegy,heavy blow,quickslash and longnail
I finished Hall of Gods already and I agree with each tip. Good luck to those on the grind!
you can also use dreamshield to destroy mantis lords/sisters of battle's projectiles
Best tip for giant moss charger
Quick slash +steadybody + anything that makes your nail stronger = easy victory
I have used some of these tips on bosses outside the Hall of Gods.
Im not even fighting the radiant bosses any time soon rusty is just hilarious lmao
You should use stalwart shell to tank hits and go berserk on bosses, combine it with thorns of agony and you do a lot of nuke damage. Can't believe he didn't mention it smh my head.
This would have helped so much when I was fighting radiant nkg yesterday lol
I mean I did it but still-
Funny thing...I've only cleared one radiant boss. And it's Grimm. The fight is fun as hell and I don't really think I could've said it better when it comes to tips.
If you're bored, 100% give Radiant Grimm a try or 20!
note: gailens tip also applies to the hollow knight when its doing its slam attack
The big boi of greenpath you need speed and the long distance attack and attack all the time
Dude your such a chad. When it came to abs rad you didnt gloat and brag about beating it. Telling everyone about how, yeah, there were thousands of deaths and you gotta practice. It makes it feel more realistic for others to achieve it eventually. Its a small thing but it goes a long way.
Pro Tip/Fun Fact: Using the Dream Nail on the False Knight/Failed Champion's head will give you nothing. You have to use the Dream Nail on the suit of armor. That's because maggots are the weakest creatures in Hallownest and the armor was once used by Hegemol, one of the 5 Great Knights. The armor itself is more powerful than the maggot inside the suit of armor.
I just saw mothman in his snowboarder cosmetics and decided to drop in
Grubberflys elegy helps with a lot of them too
Goddammit dude why did you have to be beside my playlist?!
I actually beat radiant broken vessel and died at the same time. I don’t know how, but it counted despite me dying. Radiant Traitor Lord was NOT fun. That mega shockwave attack is ludicrously tough to dodge after he forces me to use my shade cloak dash. Radiant Massive Moss Charger took two tries because I didn’t know it could jump.
Okay, how many takes did you do before you nailed that MMC segment? That is some unreal alliteration there.
Glad I can finally add my name to the list of people who have done this, many long hours well spent
Imagine NOT beating pantheon of hallownest first try, same with all bindings version. The only things i died to in radiant hall of gods: Gruz mother: 5(I fucking fogot i had sharp shadow on and died in spikes), Hornet sentinel:2, Sisters of battle:1, soul tyrant:1, hollow knight:2, ABsolute radience:4
Ah, the hollow knight, best known for their appearance in Godhome
Markoth is the hardest radiant boss by far, cant convince me otherwise. Radiant Pure Vessel took me less attempts than ascended Markoth and I feel like the times that I have beaten him I got very lucky.
You can also use Quick slash and Steady body to just spam mmc
additional tip for gruz mother: *P R A Y*
came here for tips on oro and mato. beat them right around the 3 minute start of this video lmao
nah i am editing the spritee of sum charms
so i guessed i could take a break
That intro has heavy James Bucket vibes
Overcharm..... yeah i did radiant nkg without knowing that was a thing
No joke I actually had a lofi hiphop playlist above this video in recommended
Honestly... I was on the verge of giving up. It took me 8+ hours to ONLY get to the Pure Vessel in the 4th Pantheon. Another 2 hours of practice and I still got my ass kicked in the Hall of Gods. I took a 3 day break and I will try again soon. Shit's hard and really frustrating. I love the game so much, but this DLC is demoralising most of the time. I wish some of the bosses were more forgiving or at least let me use a few more charms going into that hell. Sigh ...
Carefree Melody is pretty useful too 😳
Top Ten Massive Moss Charger Alliterations.
For the people.
I love how half the tips are “use sharp shadow to go through their attacks”
Definitely an underrated charm
I feel grubberflies elegy should be used a bit more in radiant fights
thank you all mighty rusty
Dreamwielder is really good against The Collector. two spells from a well timed dream nail can change the fight.
I dunno why I'm watching this after completing all radiance bosses but nice guide lol
Here a tip for mmc equip quick slash and grubberflys elegy and you did it (you didn’t even need to look at this)
Heres a tip for grey prince zote : restart game and don't save zote 👍
broken vessel is incredibly easy with grubberflys elegy, quick slash, sharp shadow, unbreakable strength, and some spam
Use defender's crest during lost kin to get rid those bitch infected balloons
GPZ, Markoth and AbsRad are the only 3 I haven't beaten on Radiant yet. I'm working on Markoth tonight and oh boy.............................................it. sucks.
But Rusty, what about some healing charms like quick focus and deep focus?
GPZ was unexpectedly easy for me to beat on radiant. It took me maybe 15 minutes of trying.
“Greetings all nail masters, moss pastors, or cheap bastards”
Well shit I’m none of those so time to leave-
It was actually a 10 hour Lofi hip hop playlist
3:20 really? Thorns?
*this is what we like to call the noob build*
Me, who uses those charms: *silently cries*
I have defeated bosses that are difficult in Radiant mode, like Pure Vessel, GPZ, Failed Champion, Hornet in the second form and etc, and I have already done the 5th phanteon, but I just can not kill Markoth neighter the Absolute Radiance in Radiant mode, it's soo dam hard!
Radiant nkg was the 5th radiant boss I beat
