Any Radiance 3.0 defeated glitchless

After 627 hours and 34 minutes of playtime, 663 days after starting to seriously go for this boss, I finally stand at the summit of this mountain I decided to climb. My dream of beating this boss finally came true. I have finally proven to myself that I can do it. That anyone can. I touched the stars. I felt on top of the world. There are probably millions of ways to attempt to describe this feeling, but words alone will never be enough. I have daydreamed of this moment so many times ever since starting and now it finally came true. A pretty significant chapter of my life is now over. This boss has been on my mind so much ever since I started attempting it and now that my story is told, I might finally move on. I don't think I could ever get enough of this feeling. This feeling of pushing myself further than I ever thought was possible and the feeling of being rewarded for that. I originally decided to want to clear this boss as kind of a mental test, to see how far I can go with sheer determination. To prove to myself and everyone else, that anyone can do such amazing things. Even me. It ended up taking way longer than I first thought it would, but I am so proud to have made it all the way. And I sincerely hope that you believe me when I say this: Doing these incredible things doesn't require talent. What you can or can't do isn't set in stone at birth. Anyone can do it. It's all about just not giving up. It's about rising again from the ashes every time you fall. And truly, you can always decide to not give up. Don't let your story be written for you. I'm not trying to tell you to put in hundreds of hours to clear a stupidly difficult modded boss in a video game. That's obviously not the right thing for everyone. This applies to so many more things in life. You can do so much with hard work and by just believing in yourself. Granted, that in itself can be incredibly difficult sometimes, but Whatever problems you're facing right now, whatever dreams you may have, whatever goals you wish to accomplish, I'm sure you can do it! I believe in you!! Originally I intended to put the whole 3.0 lore here. My whole story with fighting this boss. When I remembered that youtube descriptions have a 5000 character limit, I was already at double that amount... oops... That's why there's only the last part of it here. You can read the full lore on pastebin tho! https://pastebin.com/FSbg7qrR (okay so for some reason the post was removed I think? and I can't make a new one because pastebin is undergoing maintenance, I'll update this asap) ----------------------------- Unedited clear:    • 3.0 glitchless clear unedited   Charms: Legacy Quickslash, Sharp Shadow, Dashmaster, Stalwart Shell, Carefree Melody Legacy Quickslash refers to 2 notch Quickslash, which works the exact same way as regular 3 notch Quickslash. If you picked up Quickslash when it used to cost 2 notches, it will still cost 2 notches in the current version of the game. The use of this is allowed by The33rdGuy's bounty rules and the official Any Radiance clears list. Skins: The knight skin I used is called "Pink Bow v2": https://hkskins.art/#pink-bow-(2.0)-b... The Radiance skin I used is called "cool rad": https://drive.google.com/file/d/186oh... Other mods: Blind Radiance (removes the background in the Radiance fight) CarefreeRngReset (see below) No Screen Shake (this isn't a mod, you can disable screen shake by editing the Config.ini in your Hollow Knight install folder) QoL (many quality of life features, I used it solely to skip the cutscene in the beginning of the fight) CarefreeRngReset is a mod that resets Carefree Melody's chance of activiating to 90.9% in the beginning of every attempt. Carefree Melody's chance of activating increases everytime you get hit and it doesn't activate, until a maximum of 90.9%. Upon activating the chance goes back down to 0%. Dying however doesn't reset the chance, so theoretically you can setup Carefree Melody to be at 90.9% chance of activating before every attempt, thus making the use of this mod legal. All of the mods mentioned are allowed by The33rdGuy's bounty rules and the official Any Radiance clears list.
