  • Defeating Absolute Radiance on Radiant difficulty in the Hall of Gods for the Godmaster DLC. Radiant difficulty increases the boss health and some minor tweaks, plus you die in one hit.
    Charms used were Shaman Stone, Spell Twister, Sprintmaster, Mark of Pride, and Soul Eater.
    Finally. That's all I can say about this. It's not a well-done kill and much of phase 3 is dodging while I look for openings for abyss shriek. But it's over.
    Next challenges I'll be trying pantheon clears with all bindings as well as pulling out my old nail/no charms save and seeing what bosses are feasible to be beaten with that setup on radiant difficulty.

    The radiance is just a moth that decide to not chase the lamp, but embrace and become one with the lamp. That is why the moths followed it. The radiance is the ultimate lamp.

      I managed to do it pretty quickly, but I think I just got RNG that I could handle. Gave up on Radiant. I couldn't feel myself getting better. I felt I was just grinding for the RNG that I could beat with my skill level. Only boss I haven't done on Radiant and I'm okay with that.
      I sort of cheated Markoth, though. I ended up making a brand new file and getting Kingsoul to do Radiant Markoth then used cheats to beat him in my other file that I had done the other Radiant bosses in (I had already converted Kingsoul to Void Heart). Could be considered cheating, but I proved to myself that I can beat him with the tools the game gives you, so I'm pretty satisfied. Plus I got to play nearly the whole game again just to get to fight Markoth with Kingsoul and any excuse to play more Hollow Knight is good in my book.

      @@codmm4lmg539 I'll never understand the crowd that jumps to the "there's no good and evil in this story" take in stories where one or more parties are unambiguously evil. I see this everywhere, even in stories where the villain is literally a genocidal maniac but they're given a sob story to make them sympathetic. Almost every time it's just pretentious sophistry.
      Nah, she's pretty evil. It's not because of any shallow perspective-based reasoning like how we "play as the void". She's evil because she causes harm, maliciously, to people who did nothing to deserve it. She has no noble or sympathetic motivation, not that that would make her actions any less fucked. She's a jealous, petty, spiteful narcissist who doesn't like that her old subjects chose to follow a god who was more appealing to them- that says more about her than anyone else. It's like a parent treating their child like an item to be owned and shown off to others, and then being upset that they never visit when they're grown.
      No, the fact that she's a deity doesn't matter. She's more along the lines of a humanized god the likes of which we see in Greek mythology as opposed to some amoral, Lovecraftian force of nature where notions of good and evil don't apply. She has moral agency. She was jealous of another more endearing god who made an effort to engage with these bugs on their level. She's capable of recognizing the bugs of Hallownest as alive and sentient, yet she either murders them or strips them of free will purely for her own satisfaction. Trying to excuse that as "just trying to take back control of her own (and others') creations" is both odd and reductive, and doesn't really do a great job of not making her seem at least a little evil when viewed in context.
      When I fought her, I wasn't thinking about how I was representing the void therefore light = bad. I was thinking about all the people she murdered and enslaved just so she could remain the center of attention.

      ​​​@@SaltNip Being completely forgotten could result in her own death though, the game heavily implies that. Plus, she absolutely has a right to be angry with at least the Moth Tribe. They forsook their own Creator. The Pale King, while he somewhat cared about the Kingdom, not only threw countless children into the Abyss but also abandoned the Kingdom and ran away the moment the Infection started leaking again. The lore tablet in the White Palace says:-
      "No blazing kin. Only one light shall shine against the dark. The wyrm becomes the beacon, minds expanded, to yield, to devote. Eternity in promise and charge in progeny cursed."
      Here, 'blazing kin' refers to the Radiance. The Pale King seems to want to be the only light in Hallownest and was trying to actively reject the Radiance. So, she destroyed his Kingdom with her infection. Plus, the Radiance, while being an individual God, is indeed a force of nature in the world of Hallownest. She is somewhat the main God Of Light, Dreams & Essence. She refers to the Void as 'Ancient Enemy' referring to an ancient, natural enmity between them. Hiveminds are a natural system which existed in Hallownest since before the Pale King. The Moths, the Shroomkin, the Hive, etc. all had a hivemind of their own. The Infection is an aggressive iteration of the Radiance's hivemind.

    I love after a few hits you hear that otherworldly screech as the void makes it’s presence known. A few hits later and the next phase has the radiance rising. Not letting up in her attacks. But you can tell… you can tell she’s afraid. A true god wouldn’t run from it’s supposed lessers.
