The Radiance is a tough boss and its attacks can be difficult to dodge while also trying to find a window to get a nail hit in. All that said, avoid spending too much time focusing on nail hits, it is very risky and difficult to find consistent openings.

This means that starting with full soul, you’ll need to refill about 1 and 1/3 additional times. Since Abyss Shriek deals 120 damage with the Shaman stone, and factoring that you’ll be getting a few nails hits in, you should only need to hit The Radiance a max of 14 times.Įach spell use consumes 33% of your soul meter, which with all the soul vessels will allow you to use the spell six times at full soul. The Radiance has 1700 HP according to the Wiki. I’d recommend starting the fight with full soul but when you’ve exhausted that (or if you have none) you will need to get some quick hits in to stock up on soul. When it’s safe, use Abyss Shriek to deal damage to the Radiance. Your goal is to spend your time in between your spell attacks dodging The Radiance’s various attacks. (FYI: the Pure Nail only does 21 damage). That is an incredible amount of damage and it won’t take long to progress through The Radiance fight. The spell Abyss Shriek deals up to four strikes at 16 times base nail damage (it hits four times in quick succession at 20 damage per hit, with 40 Shaman Stone bonus damage totaling 120). This is not a fight of attrition and with a little practice (and patience), you shouldn’t be taking too much damage or trading hits with The Radiance. Now since your health is lifeblood, you’ll be unable to heal, but that won’t make a difference because you’re not going to be in this fight long enough for your health to get that low. So, don’t worry if you’re starting this fight at half health, it’ll automatically bump you up to full. On a side note: It doesn’t matter how much health you have when you get to the “Challenge” interaction before the fight begins because once you accept and start the fight, your health will be restored to full. That was plenty of health to get the job done. I had 15 or 16 masks during the fight (including the added Lifeblood). Using both Joni’s Blessing and Lifeblood Core will increase your health by eight masks. That should buy you enough time to finish off the boss. By using life blood, you’ll have a ton of health during this fight. This combination will make quick work of the boss battle. I found that the key to this strategy is to spam Abyss Shriek and dodge The Radiance’s attacks. I decided to adopt a spell focused/life blood build which will allow me to generally avoid using the nail and focus on dodging. The Radiance hits for two masks with each attack, which makes this one of the toughest boss fights in the game for trading damage. I was having a lot of difficulty trying to use my nail to hit The Radiance while avoiding taking serious damage. The following spell is required for this strategy: If you do not have either of these maxed out, click the links above to head over to the relevant wiki page which should get you on track to find those items.
You can probably live without the Lifeblood Core if you don’t feel like getting all the notches but having it will give you some extra breathing room if you’re having a tough time. You will also need all of the Notch Slots in order to use the Charm loadout detailed below. Having more spell uses will significantly shorten the fight. Important note: I recommend having all of the Soul Vessels (nine fragments / three vessels) in order to get the most spell uses in. By clicking the links below, it will take you to the relevant wiki page which should help you find those charms/spell if you don’t already have them. There are likely many ways to defeat The Radiance but the strategy detailed below gives a sure fire way to get through the fight. I highly encourage you to do a bit of detective work and use the story to figure it out. The Radiance is an interesting fight and a good secret in the game.

If you don’t know how to get to The Radiance, I won’t ruin it. It will not include any relevant story information, just a strategy to defeat The Radiance. This guide is dedicated to defeating The Radiance. Either way, I’ve tweaked the guide to more accurately reflect the strategy under normal conditions in the boss phases. At this point, I’m going to call my previous experiences of dealing “enough” damage to cause a sequence break a bug or perhaps it was patched out. To reflect repeated play-throughs where there was no sequence breaking in the boss phases.
