Hollow Knight mod existence for absolute radiance?
Is there a mod that gives you godmode, but also doesn't disable achievements? Or a mod that stops her from spamming the attacks and making them overlap with each other, making them LITERALLY impossible to dodge?

I have played this game for 142 hours and the only boss I can't beat is Absolute (♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥) Radiance. I have beaten everything else on Radiant too (one hit and you're dead) except Pure Vessel.
I am certain it's impossible to beat unless you have some script running at the side that makes her less spammy by limiting the attacks she can output, or by using cheats.
because her overlapping attacks make it impossible to dodge. Her constant teleporting makes it so that you can't hit her in this huge arena, because she will ever stand still in one spot for a second or two at most, with her spam making you unable to reach her. And finally the absolute abysmal telegraphing of the attacks so you don't even know what's coming half of the time.
And oh yeah, lets not forget, her super bright attacks on a super bright background so you can't even see some attacks.
Or the attacks that go through the floor when they shouldn't

It's crazy how unfair and stupid this fight is. The whole game is beautiful and then it's ruined by one single boss fight. and it's so disappointing

This is the only achievement I'm missing too. So if the game can be absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with this, I can too. I'll resort to modding the hell out of the game, which I usually hate, just to get this achievement

The fight really isn't unfair or unwinnable. Many people, including yours truly, have beaten it at Radiant difficulty. At regular difficulty, you don't even need to be particularly good to get a 100% win rate since healing can make up for a decent amount of control mistakes.

What healing can't make up for is strategic mistakes; the real challenge in this fight is figuring out what you need to do to win (and no, it's obviously not cheating).

Which is not to say the fight doesn't have some problems; in particular the brightness of the background is just plain ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up. Lowering the in-game brightness might help there, though. In addition, if you get unlucky with her teleports, the fight might be shorter or longer, but it'll never be unwinnable.

Coincidentally, if you're going to cheat your way into an achievement anyway, you may as well just go all the way and turn the achievement on with the Steam Achievement Manager. What's the point, though?

........Git gud?

But really, it is the hardest fight in the game, but certainly winnable. "This boss is so fast, how do you dodge anything, this is impossible" are things one could reasonably think about several bosses in the game, then you learn them, you practice, and eventually they aren't that bad. You need good knowledge, strategy, reaction speed, accuracy, etc., but if you unlocked her you should have enough mechanical skill to do it. When I unlocked her, I took a day or two to just practice her, until I beat her twice in a row. Only at that point was I comfortable enough to do the pantheon, and I got the win on either my first or second attempt that made it that far.

I'm no god gamer, over 50 of age. Managed to beat her after putting in a fair few hours. I never though it unfair, although the beam climb stage can feel like it some times.

Desolate dive is you friend on the teleport-platform stage, where you can get in close and really get a load of hits in with quick slash.

Add in abyss shriek with shamen stone and you can really get through to the teleport-platform very fast.

Yup my goto loadout is shamen stone, quick slash, strength, and that two point soul from hits thingy. You may want a loadout the favours prolonged fights when learning - quick slash can sometime make you take risks you shouldnt.

A huge help for me was on another post ... On the first stages the beam attack never repeats at the same place ... this gives opportunity for a very easy 1 point heal, frequent 2 point heal and you can even get 3 point heals in. Just be super-sensitive to knowing when the horizontal sword rains are coming (don't even start to heal when a sword rain is on its way).

The other important thing is patience ...

Absolute Radiance is a totally optional boss designed for those who want a challenge. Git gud.

Yes, there is. Also, could you remove the spoilers from the title(if you see this)?
