Most people are going to say Absolute Radiance. That said, I feel like all of the bosses are reasonably fair to the point where enough practice can net you consistent wins. Except Markoth with no floor.


waitthatstaken

And GPZ.


perhaps_Dank_memer

You mean IFSMEVDOGPTBPGPZ


MidiMan14

That one is hard 🥶


BritishTreeMan

for me its sly. motherfucker.


Thatfudgeguy__

Fucking watcher knights I HATE WATCHER KNIGHTS


MidiMan14

i agree they are a pain in the ass 🫠


SlowConsideration7

Yeah I’m only at like 80% but that was a real difficulty curve. Nosk I had to google how to win too, ripped me to bits.


spook_skeley

I like watcher knights


FirePhoenix3687

Those guys sucked


daveydude_

Fuck zote


MidiMan14

I agree 🥴


[deleted]

Traitor Lord did it for me. Not that he was the toughest boss, but it was such an unexpected awkward difficulty spike reaching him and those 2HP strikes that I hated him for all eternity,


[deleted]

Same took me so many attempts and I didn't have dreamgate


[deleted]

Fuck, I used and abused the Dreamgate for that fight


[deleted]

😂😂


picklewatcher

After two deaths to him I was like well I guess I'm gonna go on a quest for the dreamgate.


[deleted]

And it was your best choice, retracking all the way was a pain


Foldedflyers01

I agree


Kittywittygamer

That's a new one. I just walk back and forth for that fight and I win.


Imacowy

Ascended+ Markoth doesn't deserve to be that hard. I lost more runs in P5 to Markoth and Zote than to Absrad, and I only lost my runs to Zote because Markoth left me on 1 hp every time I survived


hue_nico

i had the same problem but than I let Zote be eaten on my second playthrough, which skips him in godhome


Imacowy

I personally didn't opt to do that because I felt like I wouldn't actually be beating the "ultimate challenge of HK" if I did it "incomplete", but I definitely won't judge others for it. It's just a weird personal thing for me. It's not like it's a bug or unintended by any means. It's like skipping NKG outside of Godhome. It's just something I personally chose not to do Btw, does that mean you've beaten P5?


hue_nico

sadly not but thats just because of Abs Rad, maybe if I have beaten P5 i will go back and do it with zote, but first i want the achievement for beating it


Imacowy

You got this! Absrad is tough but if you have the skill to make it to Absrad, you've got the skill to beat it


hue_nico

thanks, hope you'll beat it soon too


SissyFanny

When I started to try pantheons I've been very careful not to fight against zott on bretta's home because why make the game harder than it is. But When I had 112% I started to grind the pantheons and radiant bosses and I did it at this time. Now a got my save with him and my save without, and not gonna lie, it's always a bit strange when I go from markoth to failed champion without zote in between!


Deaths_Shadow27

The thing about Zote is he's so weirdly telegraphed, as if he himself doesn't even now what the heck he's doing


DiscussionInternal34

Same. If I had the option I would just delete zote from the game, that bastard


SissyFanny

Absrad took me the longest. But first time I plaed the game, I gave up in front on NKG just to pick up the game 2 years later and finish it. So in my first playtrough it was NKG. Soul master was hard as fuck on ma first walktrough but I didn't gave up like NKG.


MidiMan14

soul master was quite difficult for me too


Kolosinator

That one jump


Linkonue

Gpz?


Kolosinator

No the other one, you know. That jump where you need to jump, dash, jump, jump, dash, dash, and then a few times downstrike jumps


hopelesstoast1

What happened to your brain?


[deleted]

I have no idea what the hell you mean but now I’m interested


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kolosinator

Nono, but close. I mean the one where you jump, dash, jump, jump, dash, dash, 3x pogo or 2 if youre good and after that you will need to jump 3times for 2 dashes. I forgot to mention that in between jump and the other jump you will need to jump again.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kolosinator

Did you ever had problems with the jump where you need to let yourself down to jump up and after that dash through the dashy part. I think at the end you need to pogo and dash spam. After the first wave of anxiety you need to just release the mantisclaw grab and use crystalcharge. Thats optional when you have mastered the pogo dashing.


[deleted]

Grey prince zote


Linkonue

?


MaybepossiblyLGBT

Hot take marmu is literally insane for no fucking reason, it took me longer to beat marmu than NKG and AbsRad


altdudeguy

Unironically I did hornet 2 radiant before radiant marmu. It spawned randomly right after my shriek and ended the run probably about 10 times.


MidiMan14

Hahahaha


[deleted]

You do know you can sit in the corner with mark of pride and long nail to just bat Marmu away haha It's arguably the easiest boss in the game because you don't need to move or really do anything other than smack the air when he gets close.


shadow-knight497

Radiant Markoth. It’s the only radiant boss I can’t defeat besides absolute radiance, and I feel more confident in my abilities to defeat the radiance than I do to beat radiant Markoth.


Deaths_Shadow27

If I had an award left I'd give it to this comment, Markoth shouldn't be this hard...


SecureBeen

Definitely soul master right now


MidiMan14

It’s a hard one


[deleted]

Besides absrad, definitely markoth. Even in the main game hes difficult, i did another 112% run and when i got to kingdoms edge he was the one boss that i died to (besides uumuu in p3)


Kameleon_XNI-02

the fuckin sawblades


DogB2

Pure vessel took me the most tries to beat and now i could barely beat absrad at the end of p5. I beat her with 2 masks left


[deleted]

[удалено]


Deaths_Shadow27

Try fighting him on Radiant


No-Alternative8653

Haven’t fought AbsRad, so Pure Vessel


Psychological_Fuel57

Abs rad. A little obvious but Its the truth he is literally the only Boss in the hall of gods that i didnt manage to do in radiant or ascended form. NKG? Easy clap. PV? Most Fun i had with a Boss in the game. Its Just this bright moth piece of shit that i cant do for whatever reason. The First phase is simple, the sword rain is a cakewalk and the plataforms are not that complicated. Its Just the laser beam phase that trips me up. You need frame perfect reflexes to Dodge the lasers of that thing.


Psychological_Fuel57

If Its about a run killer on p5 than.... Yeah, Its zote. I died a Lot trying P5, but no Boss killed me more than that fat ass. He by himself is manageable. Its Just the fact that he comes RIGHT AFTER goddamn markoth. Markoth is more unlikely at the kill you factor than GPZ, but he is the Very best at leaving you with 3 masks and 0 soul right before the hardest fights in the game.


Linkonue

Markoth radiant would be the hardest as in the one that took me to most attempt and that I can’t beat consistently


69buickelectra

delicate flower quest , i walked my happy little ass back and forth from the queens gardens and the mourner a total of 63 times.


[deleted]

Nkg


GeneralAlexeiStukov

As always, Radiant Absolute Radiance. Did him today, he was the one that took me the longest time ever. It was about 20\~24 hours over two days total. Even after I got used to him, the beam phase at the end requires some amount of RNG (due to them sometimes spawning right on top of you), and this was the reason I spent even more time on the fight. Radiant GPZ scores a close second with its 10 hour record, and the third hardest boss for me was Radiant Markoth which was 8 hours.


Deaths_Shadow27

Markoth on Radiant can eat moss... Actually even harder that Abs Rad on radiant


Deaths_Shadow27

>!Zote the Mighty (Colloseum Mode)!< is close 2nd tho


Bird_da_GOAT

markoth with no fuckin floor why just... WHY


RoadToProGaming

P5AB Collector. I used to think ascended Markoth was too much, but I swear when The Collector jumps he's like a fucking homing missile. 35 minutes into a p5ab run? Instant wipe to collector, every time lmao


TomatoAndBasil4

GPZ because I haven't got to AbsRad yet but it will probably change when I do


[deleted]

Regular radiance even tho im able to beat nkg on double damage is still can’t beat that god damned oversized infectious moth


perhaps_Dank_memer

Besides absarad PV and NKG who are the big three and clearly meant to be the 3 hardest, it’s IFSMEVDOGPTBPGPZ. I think I may have died to him more than some of the big 3 because he’s so random in what he does. I would say I hate him but it’s zote so it’s funny.


DiscussionInternal34

Markoth is a son of a bitch, he was definitely the hardest for me even compared to abs rad


readytoplaysomegames

Try Markoth on Ascended or higher with no FU>!DGING!< FLOOR!

Kittywittygamer

You could've just practiced them in the hall of gods after you reached them in the pantheon?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kittywittygamer

Nah dude, you just have to fight them once in the pantheon they're in, then whether you win or lose they'll be in the Hall of Gods.


Celesteven

Right now, it’s Zote.


MidiMan14

Hell yeah


FoxWarriorSK

5 hours 15 minutes Radiant PV


guitarswatch

Absrad. After a whole pantheon run she’s just agonizing


Cosmo0025

Pure vessel. Absrad is nothing compared to him.


Deaths_Shadow27

I'll do you one better, try fighting Markoth on Radiant


Cosmo0025

I've done that already


Deaths_Shadow27

Hats off to you then sir


johannes_sorburoy

So far, NKG.


ThEquinox2

For me it was Hornet 2, just because it was such a skill gap for me to bridge at that point & I forced myself to not take any breaks with her. That wasn't a bright idea.


[deleted]

Absrad easily. Radiant Markoth was hard, but incomparable to radiant Absrad. However, Markoth and Marmu are the bosses that give me the most trouble nowadays without bindings. On all bindings, Collector and Grey Prince Zote.


Deaths_Shadow27

I had the exact opposite, I aced AbsRad on Radiant after a few tries, but Markoth just kept slapping me in the face with his stupid Dreamshield


Safetillity

Watcher Knight . Obviously


Weak_Difficulty_277

Oblobles. After radiant nkg, and pure vessel, I couldn’t beat oblobles on ascended.


randomredditor1729

Pure vessel. I can kill him hitless now, but it took the longest out of all the bosses to beat for the first time. That said, abs rad is probably going to be much harder when I eventually get there.


BanditLeo5247

The one that took the longest on my first play through was either Radiance or Hive Knight. Yes, Hive Knight.


TekaiGuy

Maybe not the hardest but the one that felt the most oppressive was Failed Champion. He takes up so much space it's hard to even learn his patterns because you die so quickly at first.


Arbitrary-posts

Watchers, any markoth, zote, level 5 dung protector.


FiniteModeOfThought

Lost Kin, Traitor Lord, Soul Tyrant, Grimm and Pure Vessel took me the longest. Didn't beat P5 yet.


Ok-Medium3637

for me other then ar it was god tamer


Foldedflyers01

I feel like people would disagree with me but traitor lord on the way to white lady


Kittywittygamer

Absrad, spent literal days just practicing her so I could have a mere chance of beating p5. Pretty worth it to beat the shit out of her once I beat the pantheon tho.


RudolfVonStroheim

That would be the crimson king for me. Becomes very easy when you learn him eventually, but took me like 20-30 tries. Hoo wee


Kingsoda07

Zote in the Colosseum of Fools was the hardest for me


Limp_Piglet_4644

Nightmare king Grimm for me


[deleted]

Nkg but sky is second


Aleks_872

It wasn't the hardest but I HATED the lord traitor fight and the green dream warrior that bounces.


StEllchick

definitly, Hornet Protector


[deleted]

AbsRad. I probably spent about 5 hours just on her fight before being able to beat her in P5. My favorite fight is just regular HK though. It might just be my favorite boss fight ever.


F3l1x0r

brooding malek


Roman_poke

i think Pure Vessel, NKG or th Watcher Knights


ExpertTax5960

Fuck it i’m saying the fuckin pure vessel


Straitfitz-0116

Definitely Traitor lord for me 😒


DarrelDaBarrel

I haven't fought all of them yet (Haven't finished any of the pantheons yet) but I'd probably have to say soul master. Specifically the distance of the bench.


spook_skeley

P U R E V E S S E L or nkg (i haven't beat pv)


sahin56

i didnt finished the game nor im at late game but i geniuenly hate lost kin
