Very big thanks to NinjaZombeh for making this possible. I will keep grinding radiant Markoth with dreamshield until I get.

I think most of the Markoth hate comes from people struggling vs his ascended/radiant form. Attuned Markoth is a perfectly reasonable fight and is honestly kinda cool.
@@raymond4592 Nah, his attacks are fine. It really is the removal of the floor and the tiny tiny platforms that makes this fight miserable. Making the platforms bigger would make the fight less awful.
@@webbowser8834 I think the biggest issue with this fight is how random everything is. His swords are random, his movement is random and his Shield moves weirdly. I have thought about how to fix this but if you get rid of all the RNG he is literally no eyes. I have come to the conclusion that markoth is bullshit no eyes
@@raymond4592 The attacks are fine, the problem is the floor, or lack there of, that just complicates it to infuriating levels Like, usually you're like this when fighting markoth Dodge his lances, find an opening in his shield, hit, repeat but in radiant mode it goes more like this: Parkour to dodge his lances, parkour to dodge his shield, calculate if you can get to his random position without dying, calculate if you can get to a safe position without dying, see if his shield is in the right position to not headbut into it parkour to get to him, parkour to get back to safety, now repeat As you can see its slightly more complicated If I were to give a tip to all radiant markoth strugglers out there.. Nail arts are great since you're usually just doing 1 or 2 hits anyway.. might aswell do the biggest hit you can
Dreamsheild users trying to explain why their charm is good: Edit: also it obviously is possible but I do genuinely think that radiant would be undoable, ascended would be a lot more accomplishable but with the platforms it would be more like a 20 minute fight I would imagine
Yeah for sure. I could barely do attuned with lifeblood core and joni’s. Radiant requires 46 dreamshield hits, without getting hit once, and with the no floor arena. Definitely seems like it will require lots of hours to complete
It would take 46 dream shield hits to kill him on ascended/radiant 21 damage per hit(dream shield reflects nail damage) and 950 health(higher tier markoth health)
@@gijswinkelhuijzen7874 Yeah it only scales in the overworld. On top of that though, most bosses have bigger HP buffs in Godhome. Max Markoth scaling HP in the overworld(Pure nail) is only 705, while Godhome Ascended/Radiant is 950. So the bosses are basically scaled up past their overworld max for Godhome by default
This video is also the reason why Skurry died in his steel soul bingo video. The person who suggested that challenge mentioned that they got the idea from this video. Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/FbVXGZBKQCs/видео.html
"after spending almost 3 hours on this one boss"... um, I spent 5 hours doing radiant markoth without any restrictions. sheesh. Also, would you like to explain how you seem to be regaining lifeblood masks without having hiveblood equipped?
yeah im sorry i dont have all the time in the world to spend fighting one boss. also im not regaining lifeblood hearts idk where you saw that EDIT: i watched the video and sure enough i am regaining lifeblood hearts. i think i just made an editing mistake cause there is no way to regain blue hearts in this game
occasionally though im not grinding it like i used to. there are people in the community way more talented then me who are. the furthest someone has gotten is second phase with 1 accidental nail hit

What about radiant Crystal Guardian with only Crystal Hearth? Bet you can't do it!
😁😅

totally agreed
I think if he only had a shield in his second phase and the swords didn't adjust people wouldn't dislike him as much

...Dreamshield is pretty decent. Not for this fight, tho. And dream wielder also makes the charm much better.
Now fireb0rn has a real challenge:
Defeat Radiant Markoth with Dream Shield only😎👍
fireb0rn: challenge accepted!
Nah it aint harder than darkest dungeon no hit
Fun fact: Equipping dream wielder and dream shield buffs dream shield significantly.
i did that in the video :)
@@FIREOWLHK I did see that but you never explained why that was, so I thought I'd elaborate with a comment.
I remember a while back I wanted to do Radiant Markoth with just Dreamshield and I *VERY* quickly realized how terrible of an idea that was
The sped up footage just looks like you’re having a beyblade battle with markoth
the most stressful beyblade battle of my life
@@FIREOWLHK
Why do you torture yourself
@@mb-hb7nw i have no clue
It would take 46 dream shield hits to kill him on ascended/radiant
21 damage per hit(dream shield reflects nail damage) and 950 health(higher tier markoth health)
Does the strength of your nail not effect health? Or is that just in the base game and not in godhome
@@gijswinkelhuijzen7874 Yeah it only scales in the overworld. On top of that though, most bosses have bigger HP buffs in Godhome.

as much as i suck at radkoth compared to other players of my skill
challenge accepted
i need to practice markoth if i ever wanna do r5 anyway
Good luck, 46 hits with the dreamshield without getting hit once. The fight could last up to 20 minutes
What is r5?
@@IarthurexI radiant p5 or hitless pantheon of hallownest
@@FIREOWLHK Ok, I really don't want to get close to that lmao. I'll just finish my P5 with all the bindings, and peacefully wait for Silksong
@@IarthurexI same honestly
congrats!! this is something i’ll never be able to do. you are so good at the game!!
I’m looking for gamers
did you even watch the video
u found one
@@jaydentt its a joke on my discord server. we used to have a channel called looking-for-gamers and people would just spam that all the time
@@FIREOWLHK lol nice
_Did anyone ever tell you the definition of... insanity?_
Legends say he's still trying to beat it on radiant...
how about i just confirm the legend
Congratulations on doing this! This a big achievement :)
Hey do your best, and don’t overwork yourself, and you can do it!
woah, your channel is growing! congrats on 1k subs by the way.
thanks!
This video is also the reason why Skurry died in his steel soul bingo video. The person who suggested that challenge mentioned that they got the idea from this video. Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/FbVXGZBKQCs/видео.html
markoth got markoth'd
This is a new level of uno reverse card
Why not with kingsoul also? Lets you have soul to heal, which means dreamshield spins faster
i feel like standing still during markoth second phase is not exactly a good idea
@@FIREOWLHK shape of unn + quick focus, still the only damaging source is dreamshield so this should still be allowed
@@Firefly256 yeah you might be right actually. it wouldn’t really help for radiant markoth though which is currently what im working on
@@FIREOWLHK dreamshield spins faster meaning it does help
"after spending almost 3 hours on this one boss"... um, I spent 5 hours doing radiant markoth without any restrictions. sheesh.
Also, would you like to explain how you seem to be regaining lifeblood masks without having hiveblood equipped?
yeah im sorry i dont have all the time in the world to spend fighting one boss. also im not regaining lifeblood hearts idk where you saw that
EDIT: i watched the video and sure enough i am regaining lifeblood hearts. i think i just made an editing mistake cause there is no way to regain blue hearts in this game
@@FIREOWLHK hiveblood would've been a great charm in this fight, imo ;)
@@Rbum4 probably, i was too dumb to think of that lol
All Radiance modded boss, Dreamshield only
damn
2:00 are my eyes deceiving me or does our shield actually breaks upon touching the superior shield from markoth?!
it does :D
recommend this challenge to ninjazombeth or windette
Path of pain with grimmchild and dream shield
Only dream warrior that isn't a joke.
Marmu is a piece of trash in all bindings p2, (and p5 probably but Im not there yet to confirm it)
@@An_Entire_Lime Marmu never causes me trouble.
@@An_Entire_Lime I did P5 up to the last phase of radiance.
@@DwAboutItManFr Idk why but I just cant get the timing down for marmu without charms
How were you getting your health back with Joni's?
recording glitch
Did you use the dreamnail charm for this?
yes
@@FIREOWLHK thought so, just curious
Pogs
Good job.
Next do abs rad 😈😈😈
no :)
Skurry did it in steel soul i think
yeah they did it after seeing this video
I love this boss in the base game but the no floor version is just a sequel to the path of pain
use spells and nail. youre defying the point of the challenge but hey youre only using dreamshield
as your only charm :)
dude, thats lame af tho
its a joke
jokes are meant to be funny
Ok and
yours wasnt funny
I wonder if anyone beat markoth c-dash only
i know people have done pv and nkg cdash only
It doesnt sound that hard actually, I might try it in attuned
Now do it with Spore Shroom only.
impossible
@@FIREOWLHK Keep dreamnailing him and healing up. And most importantly, don't get hit too much. Good luck.
(I'm talking about attuned or ascended of course, radiant wouldn't work)
@@ImVeryOriginal forgot about dreamnail
niceeeeeeeeeeeee
Are you still doing it?
occasionally though im not grinding it like i used to. there are people in the community way more talented then me who are. the furthest someone has gotten is second phase with 1 accidental nail hit
haha nice
He never did it :(
now do radiant markoth
im still trying but no success so far
Do it in radiant
im not good enough
Who else watch this in 0,25x?
you can check the uncut footage if you want to watch the 12 minute long fight
@@FIREOWLHK oh ok
Not even close.
Not even close
@@jasperfeasby4265 i was kinda stressing out there at the end
did this in 6 min
radiant markoth with dreamshield? clip please
@@FIREOWLHK 1. on my channel
2. i said nothing about radiant
also I used dream wielder to make it faster
@@the_drink_real nice i just saw it. gj
@@FIREOWLHK Thanks!
The audacity
skill issue
