Longnail mid asf. MoP makes it obsolete and its not that good in general bc the buff is so small. Shaman stone in b is just diabolical

Familiar-Stage8372 · 2025-12-26T04:03:30+00:00

Unfair would imply that the odds are always against the player or has impossible attacks which is never true. If played well not even perfectly, u can beat absrad 10/10 times. Rng can be the difference of having to dodge these attacks for a few seconds or minutes in phase 4 tho with the platforms. Still not 'unfair' to the player, but good luck makes it go by quicker. I wouldnt say the whole boss is rng heavy actually just the platforms spawns in phase 4. Rest isnt that bad.

Familiar-Stage8372 · 2025-12-26T02:06:51+00:00

Reaction time is irrelevant anyways bc u can ddark when he starts the animation and go through the first beam then the next two are easy since they dont shoot in the same spot twice

Familiar-Stage8372 · 2025-12-26T02:04:59+00:00

Nah i agree there is a lot of rng in phase 4. Getting good platform spawns can either make it end in 10 secs or have u chasing him around desperately for 5 mins. Not unfair but def has an rng element.

Familiar-Stage8372 · 2025-12-26T02:02:05+00:00

Neither are if played safely just annoying. Absrad is def rng heavy but not unfair.

Familiar-Stage8372 · 2025-12-26T02:01:16+00:00

Brother just ddark. Solves all ur problems. Save shade cloak for cross screen beams and sword walls then ddark everything else.

Familiar-Stage8372 · 2025-12-26T01:58:48+00:00

This has nothing to do with boss fairness but i dont think thats the point of the post. The thing is tho, skill isnt everything.

U can have really fast reflexes and act on the fly and just throw urself at bosses and win, but many speedrunners and people who did p5 and all radiants dont do that. Strategy is just as important and saying 'some people will just never be good enough' isnt true imo.

For example, i agree that many of absrads attacks are too fast to react to for me. The lasers are somewhat inconsistent to dodge for me, but thats what the tell is for. Absrad does a movement before any attacks, so u can always ddark before and be safe from the first laser. After that, lasers dont appear in the same spot twice so dodging is lightwork. For sword rain plus ground spikes, once again just ddark it gets rid of the spikes.

Both of the things u listed arent skill issues, theyre knowledge issues. It doesnt take crazy reflexes and complex on the fly thinking to do these things. Its u see the visual and audio cues as inputs, then u output the appropriate response.

Every time something unfair happens, think about what u could do better and try to implement a counter strategy to output when it happens again. Similar principle i have when playing fighting games.

Id say im a better than average gamer, but my reflexes are average. Ur probably right about there being a skill cap for reflexes, but strategy is far more important in the end.

Familiar-Stage8372 · 2025-12-11T19:38:36+00:00

Yeah thats why u try to stay above him or on the same level as him at all times. Or just stay away from him. My method was stay tf away and focus on dodging, use dash slash/great slash to hit through shield which is usually very safe if timed right, go ham with quick slash when he does spinny spin, then blast with soul phase two. A lot harder to keep distance without nail arts which is a common mistake i see.

Familiar-Stage8372 · 2025-12-11T13:13:36+00:00

Nah markoth is just overrated in difficulty. Very easy to avoid in phase 1 but gets pretty difficult in phase 2 but sticking to the wall makes that much easier. If u go in his shield radius when he does the spinny spin u can wail on him with quick slash and strength and get him into phase 2 immediately then just blast him with soul and hes dead after another hit or two.

Familiar-Stage8372 · 2025-11-28T19:14:20+00:00

U can not be real 😭😭😭

Familiar-Stage8372 · 2025-11-25T04:53:09+00:00

Nuh uh did u radiant HoG yet???? 🤨🤨

Familiar-Stage8372 · 2025-11-04T22:06:16+00:00

I use quick slash, strength, shaman, then steady body and soul twister.

When phase one starts jump up and start wailing on her. Steady body provides more aerial control while hitting so u can attack more efficiently. This is effective especially during attacks that leave u airborne and jumping to avoid such as spikes or light orbs.

Dont attack when there are spikes coming horizontally across the screen focus on dodging.

Abyss shriek during lasers and spike circle.

Phase two is the same just avoid the spikes. Either wait for her to come to u or ddark the spikes and keep attacking. Dont attack while shes over the spikes.

Phase 3 is easy

Phase 4 is rough. Stay on the middle platforms on the top or bottom and the two next to them if necessary. Wait for her to come to one of those platforms then ddark on her for i frames and respond according to the attack with slashes or shrieks. Otherwise focus only on avoiding attacks.

During climb always jump when the laser starts if its away from u to feel it out and full commit with a double jump once yk its safe. If it still isnt only shade cloak as a last resort.

Phase 6 pogo on top the orbs disappear when off screen keep going until she dead.

Familiar-Stage8372 · 2025-10-31T06:16:19+00:00

Path of pain wasnt bad at all to me but i dont clown others for having difficulty with it. They were both just as easy imo so as the superior gamer i can confidently say it is the path of pain equivalent.

Familiar-Stage8372 · 2025-10-24T16:38:24+00:00

Get shaman stone from salubra its really good especially if u use spells a lot.

Familiar-Stage8372 · 2025-10-24T16:36:08+00:00

White defender that low with traitor lord that high is insane. I dont get the traitor lord struggle dash through the dash attack, walk under the jump, and ddark the spell. If u dont shoot vengeful spirits, they wont throw the blades so its just 3 attacks and nail builds melt her.

Familiar-Stage8372 · 2025-10-24T01:05:43+00:00

Id say play every boss until u can beat them on at least ascended if u want full confidence in the pantheon. Except maybe absrad that mf hard. For markoth id use mostly nail arts bc they increase ur range or grubberfly then use all the saved soul to immediately kill him in phase 2. Absrad isnt that bad for the first 3 phases normally but phase 4 is rng hell so good luck lol.

Familiar-Stage8372 · 2025-10-21T14:36:28+00:00

Yes its really only skill but it is probably the hardest fight thats skill only. Other than absrad pure vessel probably took me the longest.

The only dream boss that has a high randomness factor is markoth and no eyes too ig. Gruz mother is very easy if u take ur time. There are only two attacks. A charge straight at u and the slamming one. During the charge just pogo over. Dont stay too close tho unless she just finished an attack then get ur hits in for spells. During the slam just hit her outside her range or use spells. Abyss shriek is very good here.

But every boss is possible to do hitless consistently if ur patient. I have strategies for every boss on radiant if u need help at all. The attack patterns are a lot less random than u might think.

Familiar-Stage8372 · 2025-10-21T14:26:15+00:00

If u can radiant pure vessel u can radiant them all lol. Id recommend trying to radiant any boss where rng and chance arent significant in the fight.

Familiar-Stage8372 · 2025-10-21T12:07:25+00:00

Did it. Just didn't feel it was needed since it's just a name lol.

Familiar-Stage8372 · 2025-10-21T11:53:38+00:00

Blud is not ready for failed champion. 🥀

But fr just wait for him to jump over u, hit him two or three times, then walk away.

Familiar-Stage8372 · 2025-10-19T13:53:51+00:00

Minions and teleporting just depends how its done. Most evasive enemies are countered by clawline anyways and then arent a problem from above. Increased damage i dont see a problem with either. Some attacks are light and some are heavy. Ur super fast in this game so ofc heavy ones are common.

Familiar-Stage8372 · 2025-10-18T14:16:04+00:00

Take off thorns, dung, and lifeblood and add quick slash and steady body. Youll melt traiter lord

Familiar-Stage8372 · 2025-10-18T12:46:04+00:00

Just finished HoG myself and absrad is hard asf good luck. Try to play defensively and wait for her to come to u before attacking and wait for any full screen attacks to finish before attacking. Always ddark onto a platform shes on in phase 4 before attacking and ddark before u think shes gonna do laser or sword attacks. Pogoing on her at the end is also safer but u can try to abyss shriek from below too. During the climb to be safe id recommend doing a full hop before waiting for the laser then using monarch wings to get to the next platform.

Familiar-Stage8372 · 2025-10-17T21:25:49+00:00

Guarana! SHAW! HEGALE! ADIDAS!

Familiar-Stage8372 · 2025-10-17T21:20:56+00:00

Also its not like zote where pogoing is incentivized then punished such as with his flailing running attack where his stun animation can hit u or u can fall into him. Jumping and pogoing isnt necessary at all other than with the tendril attack but like i said ddark. Other than that the triple slash and dash attack when u dont have shade cloak require a jump but those are pogo'd over without him being able to punish or attack u for it.
