【Hollow Knight】Any Radiance's Defeated 

Why did this get recommended to me right after I watched fireborns expose video?

Proper English translation below: - Background information: after Ultimatum Radiance and Atomic Radiance, Bob Fred, the first speedrunner for the 5th pantheon and all bindings, decided to create this Any Radiance MOD; this MOD from the start was eliminated from the MODBOSS category, and the creator actually wrote in the description: “God of meme” so they never intended for this to be real boss, since it was made only for laughs. As for me, I only fought this boss out of my obsession with the Radiance *smile* so please don’t take this as an actual boss, everyone! - Personal thoughts: wow, I spent so much energy on beating her… This is the first time I’ve approached a game like a technical problem to solve hahaha, simply because of this boss’s specific techniques: lock-on lasers make the regular combat strategy exceedingly difficult, to the point of impossibility (but if you had a fifth-door (?) Lifeblood combat strategy then the chances of winning would still be quite high,) which is why no one has come up with a strategy until now (though of course, if the god gamer KQ ever decided to try this, it would probably take at the most one or two days.) Regarding technique, beating this boss already pushes the limits of theoretical possibility (though if you have a consistent 100% chance for Carefree Melody to activate, then pretend I didn’t say anything.) I explored all acceptable charms using research, coordinations, and combinations, starting from the tank-build of all possible Lifeblood hearts. Later, to increase the survival rate and damage output, I tried out Quickslash and Unbreakable Strength… After much research, I finally settled on a protective build and chose Unbreakable Heart, Baldur’s Shell, Carefree Melody, and Soul Eater… then I made an Excel sheet to input data, and opened up the debug to see what kind of success rate was necessary to get to the climbing stage (limit to hits received, limit to Carefree Melody uses, limit to Baldur Shell uses, under the worst-case assumption that I wouldn't be able to heal, etc; the maximum hits I could receive came out to 9-10 times, 8 times if I got lucky; max 2 uses of Carefree Melody, 3 times if I got lucky; and as for Baldur shell, it wasn’t so simple as using it whenever the lasers started focusing, and then saying “if I get hit then I get hit,” haha.) The fact that I still had 3 lives left in this video is something that I didn’t even think was possible *smile* even though the consistency probably wasn’t very good… Plus, I was fighting for my life *cries* but at least in the end, I was able to make the Any Radiance my pet *cries harder* - BUGS in the video: 1. For the full-screen spikes stage, Any Radiances’ lasers failed three consecutive times (though it’s not a big deal even if they did have an effect; it’s really just about slamming yourself down as per usual haha.) 2. In the second stage, you’ll see multiple splashes from a single Desolate Dive; this is a bug with the dive itself, and seems to deal damage multiple times to nearby enemies… but this is actually an absolute debuff, because each Dive splash is only worth 15 points in damage (the final stage of the Ddive,) and will severely throw off my coordination / rhythm. If the invincibility/immobility frames overlap, then this will even cancel out my down-attack and healing abilities. Taking damage during this bug will eliminate the issue, but once it appears in the MOD then it becomes more and more fequent, and will require exiting to the menu to reset the MOD. - Regarding the cover art and BGM: I’m not sure who the creators are *awkward smile* if you guys get angry at me for not receiving permission to use your art, I’m very very sorry *cries* I’ll change it - Thanks: Thank you so much to everyone for watching! *tears* - In a small voice: If my intro is to long, will anyone read it…? In that case, I’ll thank everyone who made it so far hahaha ____ THANKS FOR WATCHING

This guy: Beats Any Radiance Bob Fred: Wait that's illegal.

For everyone who came here knowing he cheated on his hitless p5 run he didn’t cheat here (unless he messed with carefree melody rng but I doubt that) so I guess we can can all still congratulate him on this

How ironic that im getting this recommended right after watching fireb0rns video

The fact that YT recommended this after fireb0rn exposed the creator of this video is something

That... is incredible. The creativity of the charm setup needed for this boss and the sheer skill throughout... Insane. Congratulations.

For all searching on new after Fireborn’s Video, didn’t he tell you to NOT hate on this guy? This is something he did legit so just let him have it.

You're insane. I would have never thought someone would get past the climb phase but you found a way, and I almost can't believe that you did. Also if anyone is curious I believe these were their charms: Carefree Melody, Baldur Shell, Fragile / Unbreakable Heart, Soul Eater

"So this is Radiance?" "This is what Radiance is supposed to be."

this guy is better than cranky and everyone AND HE HAS 33 SUBSCRIBERS

I'm dying at "ok.", like they're pissed you were physically able to do this shit. 😂

Wow this deserves way more views.

turns out he cheated... rip

1st step of being a Hollow Knight pro: Descending dark

actual higher being

Wtf man, this is insane

Well my self esteem wasn't really useful to me anyway

Congrats......I couldn't follow what was even going on that's how scary things were

And I thought beating normal radiance was an achievement

This video appears legit it is a shame that cotton would cheat in other runs when he is this talented

BY THE GODS IS THIS REAL??

ungodly good job, I love it!

I'm just impressed they managed to make a mod that finally made you take damage

We're getting you views 雪棉叶 whether you like it or not people are gonna start watching your videos soon... you deserve it ;)

I know it's too late, but: First, you are pretty clean, well done for this impossible victory. Second, might telling me how can i find the music playlist you use on this vid?

i dont care that he cheated this video is legit and hes good at the game to have beaten any radiance

this the guy who gonna beat any radiance 2.0 in a month

Radiance = you, level 99 -雪棉叶- = that one kid whos better than everyone at the game, level 2

To be fair he did complete this legit

Little do they know

I never thought someone would use carefree melody in anything.

I mean, I don't like him cheating but I really like his profile picture

The way he pogo on the horizontal sword challenged my very assumption about what's possible with the movement system in this game.

its just a moth can hurt no one-

This is how the neighbor's dog felt like when you were a kid

Obviously that lonely dislike is from any radiance

Everyone: *IMPOSSIBLE* Me: *haha Undertale remix go brr*

Can we talk about how Radiance goes to the beat on those teleports

I didn't get why he took baldur's shell at first, then I saw that truly impossible climbing phase. There's absolutely no escape from damage at there.

Well at least he wasn’t using invincibility for this.

this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, what a legend

I hope to recreate the epicness if this milestone with 2.0 :)

This is cool and all but can you beat radiant gruz mother

This is my prime example of when someone says someone is bad at the game if they cheat or there to good to cheat, because he is unDOUBTEDLY an amazing player, I would say one of the best in the world but sometimes a goal you want is so difficult that try after try after try you resort to bad methods like cheating, even then I respect you cotton 😁

So THIS is cotton! Even tho I’m technically Chinese, I get almost all my HK content from RU-vid, and had been wondering who this cotton guy was. Nice job with the radiance tho

So this is one of those "Any%" runs I've heard about. It's not like I expected at all.

His attacks match the music at 3:18 and 5:20

yay your channle is growing! ( even if the growth is small )

Lest we forget: cotton was the only one to beat her for a year

The rng and reaction time of abs rad mixed with the precision of nkg and pure vessel

The music and the attack patterns would fit perfectly in an undertale fangame

this guy has the best taste in music

I wanted to see this guys skill after the fireborn video. Holy shit this is nuts!

Btw song name please?

A nice choice of music I must say

I wish your p5 binds white spells had a description like this

How did carefree melody activate on the first hit? The wiki says it has a 0% chance when you’re at full health. Edit: 0:51

Is playing Hollow Knight Undertale music: Hello there.

This person was trained it's whole life for this moment

Okay, this is amazing. And if someone knows the music's name, I take it (pretty please ?). EDIT: wtf if that "Ok." in the end?

What's the UT remix playing?

NGL the lazers at the end go with the music

what is the first music omg i need it i cant find it anywhere

"I don't do translation because I'm a little lazy,Sorry (nobody's watching anyway) The following is the original explanation (Chinese)" well that changed haha

It makes me really sad that he cheated because now I don't know which of his amazing achievements are legit. He could have been one of the greats, but now he trashed his reputation. If he had only uploaded this, he still would have had some serious clout because he's the only one who has pulled it off.

Looks like UI radiance 😏 excellent work of course

Awesome video, would've love to listen the original audio tho

Can anyone tell me music here 2:47

Which musics were these? I recognise the first one, I think all are Undertale AU musics, Ghost Fight is in there... But I wanna get the rest XD

when you thought the sans bossfight was hard as a child and now you’re trying to do stuff like this lmao

The music was the best part

I like how the music is kind of in sync with the action

bro i still get chills watching this even after 3 years

this is the only thing i can congratulate you on

Yo guys is this cotton?

Upon this, Bob Fred was upse and created MK 2😂 Insane job, I did not think that this could be done.

Oh no, a great player hidden under the radar! Wish this was more popular!

so does anybody know the music for this video?

Beat radiance while listening to this

The name is NIGHT MARE GOD.

How it feels to chew 5 gum

What song is the first one?

this is another level of god gaming

What's the name of the second song used. It sounds pretty cool

thats a instant sub and like

An even harder version apparently exists. Just *this* version of Any Radiance getting defeated is a godly feat, but whoever manages to beat the new one.. yikes

I wish there are wrong about. You a a legitimate hollow knight pro. Keep it up

If this is real... Good job.

Even if fireborn exposed this as fake you gotta admit this looks cool

Anyone knows the sauce for the musics used? I can tell they're Undertale covers, but I know there's no hecking way I could find a specific one among those thousands covers out there without knowing their name.

Watch out all radiance there’s another all powerful god in your midst.

dude the undertale remix music

Its like an undertale boss. And the song reflects that

Empress of light

How does he hit her so fast at 3:55 And he's not getting any souls for those rapid hits?

Welcome to Texas.

The amount of balls you need to do this-

I cant believe they beat any radiance

at least this was legit... good job
