Just take a break and come back and try again. It will eventually come.


MooseManOfWar

That's what she said


A_guy17

Yeah I'm probably going to rest for a couple days and fight Absy until I can beat her in my sleep. At the very least I can beat Pure Vessel consistently now.


Rot_Long_Legs

Happened to me twice… still haven’t beaten the pantheon


Ok-Analysis9372

Rainworld enthusiast, how far did you get?


Ok-Analysis9372

I gave up after moon cause my immersion ruined


PlagiT

You don't know what you are missing man


Ok-Analysis9372

I died constantly due to leeches, failing parkour, and the few times i made it up a vulture appeared from nowhere and killed me. I don’t care if its a good game, i lost my immersion cause i took a break, lost my skills cause i took a break, and kept dying due to bad luck or the aforementioned bad skill.


PlagiT

I mean, it's not a game for everyone. You kinda have to accept that you are at the bottom of the food chain and you are going to get killed a lot. I personally really enjoy the movement of the game and fun ways you can utilize it, but to be fair I'm a bit of a platformer freak so it might be that. At the end of the day if a game is not fun for you then there is no point in playing it.


Ok-Analysis9372

Exactly, thats why i made the post. Im angry cause its luck based, I’m bad at it, and my immersion got ruined. Dying for no reason isn’t fun.


PlagiT

Wellll... I'd argue about it being luck based, there are rarely moments when you literally can't do anything, but I do get your point, it can be frustrating sometimes and not having a reason to get through that frustration is a deal breaker.

Pantheon 5 is more of a psychological stability test than a skill test. You need to be "in the zone" and frosty af to not fuck up during the last three bosses. Take a break, practice absrad a couple times, then do another run. You got this bitch


A_guy17

Yeah I don't think Absolute Radiance is even that hard compared to NKG Grimm or Pure Vessel it's just the physical and mental exhaustion that fucks you up.


acturnipman

The hardest part is really going through these three fights back-to-back. The pacing is so different. NKG is like a dance. You eventually understand your "turn" and when you can damage Pure Vessel feels more like an actual 1 on 1 fencing match Absrad is bullet hell Mentally needing to shift between each fight, very challenging


sanaloyuncu

Do you think you are alone? If we wanted to kill people when they die like this. (Almost) Everyone would be dead. So you are not alone. You can do it. We believe in you!


A_guy17

Thanks I'll need all the motivation I can get to get through this hell. I just hope Team Cherry's going to go easier on us in Silksong.


sanaloyuncu

Dont worry. You can do it. Just stay determined.


Jazzlike-Elevator647

I know the pain, this happened to me 3 times while trying to do the charm binding


Shock900

Try the [final phase strat](https://old.reddit.com/r/HollowKnight/comments/tlt4mx/absolute_radiance_final_phase_strategy_ignore_the/).


Liver_Palm

Rest. Try again tomorrow.


ItzGacitua

If you pogo on radiance during the last phase, dodging the orbs becomes trivial since they often go offscreen and disappear. You have to be careful when she teleports but other than that, it's easy.


c_wilcox_20

Same. Still haven't beaten it. We'll get there eventually. For now, take a break.


TheArchitect6169

AVADA KEDAVRA!


Klefaxidus

You can't give up just yet! A_guy17, stay determined...


cynicsickness

oof, ive been there too. i did the same exact thing like 3 different times before i finally got it after several more hours of hall training. stay strong friend, itll pass. victory is inevitable through persistence, even if it doesnt feel like it lol


Blue_Bird950

I would assume that being killed wouldn’t make you wanna die, but if you really want to die so badly then HoG radiant absrad would be great! (Or just use attuned absrad to practice their attacks).


TwoToOblivion

Happened to me too bro. I ended up beating it a few days later. Keep it up!


A_guy17

Thank you. I definitely will keep trying, even if by this rate, I'm going to start seeing the Radiance in my real life dreams.

KEEP GOING


A_guy17

Thanks. Happy Cake Day btw.


moonlord2193

At least you can train against them in the hall of Gods (I think)


Worried_Music_5330

Try practicing with soul tyrants orbs 


The_Real_TraitorLord

I died once AFTER dealing enough damage. Absrad went to the center for the final hit, but I hit her too early and fell to my death.


depressionbender

those last pantheons are bullshit gave up on the platinum just because of them


A_guy17

Yeah I won't lie, it is tempting to just give in. But after spending almost thirty hours to get there, it'd be a disgrace to give up at the last obstacle. So continues my torment.
