Top 5 Hardest Radiant Bosses

[Syndiciate]

5. The Pure Vessel.
4. Watcher Knights.
3. Nailsage Sly.
2. Markoth
1. Absolute Radiance.

Honorable Mentions: Oblobbles and The Collector ( RNG dependent ).

[Boksha]

For me, from memory:

1. Markoth
2. Paintmaster Sheo
3. Zote
4. Absolute Radiance
5. No Eyes

Paintmaster Sheo was frustrating, because he feels like a joke boss at Attuned and Ascended; even at double damage you can just tank him and heal faster than he damages you. At instant-death though, all the random crap flying around really starts to hurt.

What did you find hard about the Watcher Knights? I seem to remember that with full overcharmed gear you can almost kill them as fast as they spawn, even with the health boost they get from the higher difficulty.

I honestly can't really remember. I just know they took me longer and frustrated me more than any boss outside of Sly. I think I had difficulty getting the timing of their slashes down and kept dying because I'd get greedy and try to get too many hits off or I would be too cautious and not damage them enough before there were two of them onscreen and I'd get cornered.

Sheo is one of the easiest bosses on radiant, I think you mistake him with some other boss honestly. No way he can be a top five. As for Watchers they get the biggest hp boost on accended/radiant, as their hp is doubled. From my experience you can only "kill them as fast as they spawn" if you get Lucky and they use a basic two slash attack allowing you to shadow dash through and keep on attacking them.

Amoung bosses that were not mentioned yet, I personally find Radiant Uumuu being very annoying and hard thanks to the inconsistence of the fight and a heavy RNG factor involved.

I only have one word... MARMU!
That soft and joyful ball of death.

If I were a bit more serious, then I'd add Galien and Winged Nosk. Galien is too rng and Winged Nosk fight has a lot of waiting which makes you quite nervous because of all that waiting between him attacks.

You can cheese Winged Nosk and kill him easily even on radiant. Hang on the wall on the left side of an arena, charge super dash to keep your self on a wall and let summons like grim Child slowly kill him. There is a video on you tube if you want a more detailed instruction.

I can beat him without cheesing :) Just shared my opinion: its hard because you have to wait too much and that increases tension. But he is perfectly doable. The only problem I have is RAR. I made a post about her, requesting some help.

Collector is honestly pretty easy on radiant. You get the strength charm, immediately dash to the jars when they fall down, kill the enemies, and whale on him when he comes down.

Collector got nerfed to trash in one of the post-god Master updates. Original radiant Collector was hard as nails. I guess People who call him hard actually fought him before the nerf.

Nope. Sheo. All of the paint randomly flying around and blocking your path did me in.

Red paint is the hardest for me :) But when I learned the positioning when he does this attack, he became super easy

I think you refer to his special (purple) attack that he tends to combo with one of his basic ones sometimes creating very hard to dodge patterns. When I fought him on radiant I learned to Descending dark every time the purple drops start to fall down. With proper timing you can fully ignore the drops and forget about them, focusing on his next attack, and his basic attacks are very easy to dodge. As soon as I got used to this strategy I got him on radiant pretty easily.

I don't really know where to rank this one but oblobble is pretty darn difficult when radiant, it's riduculus
