h2-victory-boasting

[outer sigil]

Just pause during the fight

[rotund wind]

isnt it stone infusion(blacksmith)

[stable thorn]

it is earth based but from demeter

[chrome basin]

getting that incantation next i swear LOL

[stable thorn]

heph does not have infusion, thats funny

[fallow steppe]

my first clear after struggling for ages with his first phase I still dont understand the move in his second where everything but one little clock symbol was darkened but I just dodged those so GG excited to start working on getting my time down

[viscid dew]

got my first Titan down last night 😄

[ruby cove]

Decent spell/cast-based build, was fun to play through (also my 1st victory)

[ocean prairie]

In French but yeah first win, the spell hitting almost the whole map of phase 2 was quite fun

[tame stream]

I got an incredible Air Quality run I'm so chuffed, each cast did like 700 damage for free, not even a magick cost

[drowsy zealot]

that boon is crazy

[naive cloud]

YAY

i did not have a good attack boon

[atomic sage]

20 hours later, finally

[cosmic hound]

first time beating the final boss, the skulls are crazy, and the lunar hit crits with artemisa

[timid arrow]

I was fully prepared to die to an earlier guardian, but the boons and hammers and such came all the way thru! Spin to win! Lost no DD's on the way. Lost all three in the final fight. lol

[stuck flint]

Pretty powerful duo boon.

[uneven widget]

Woah that sounds crazy strong

[stuck flint]

2k consistently yeah.
It also seems to be bugged that you do not need to do the Channel for Glorious Disaster but still do the damage.

[quartz marsh]

nerf storm ring

[graceful epoch]

Which two gods is it?

[stuck flint]

Apollo and Zeus.

[graceful epoch]

Thanks!

[gilded slate]

First victory in the Underworld, 2fast4chronos 🪽
27th night, 20th Underworld attempt

[fast prairie]

Managed slay the titan after 33 runs

what run was y'all first victory

[rotund wind]

this

[fast prairie]

damn 12 poms?

[rotund wind]

i had chance to double reward from posseidon

last floors have +3 levels poms

[fast prairie]

oh wow

[frank meteor]

i like hexes

[dire siren]

This counts because it was after I beat Eris but I'm mainly posting it here because this is the only channel that allows images.

toasty kitty

[gentle ferry]

I was literally down to 1 HP. Maybe I should actually try the other weapons for once as well.

[quaint trout]

new PB

[sand glade]

First win 🙂

[iron torrent]

HOLY COW I JUST BEAT CERB NO DAMAGE TAKEN

[sturdy heath]

god tier rng

[twin drum]

crit goes hard lol

[restive dome]

good job man

[stark gazelle]

First time beating the game

[stark gazelle]

apollo cast go brrrrr

[noble ginkgo]

anyone ever had this much money? whoa

[twin drum]

highest I had was 1.5k. IMO the end shop should have higher prices

[noble ginkgo]

bought everything but now 860 gold is going to waste

now ill go for him.. i can take him.. i can take him..

[modest lodge]

yipeeeee

[thin ruin]

im shaking i lost 2 death defiances in a row innn 2nd phase, although i could get better boons to ensure survivability

[noble ginkgo]

done.

[twin drum]

Noice

[noble ginkgo]

so mote it be

[loud grove]

Did my first run!

[noble ginkgo]

notice the victory screen says "swimming in gold" lol

oh u cant see it but it says that. anyway

[fair river]

hook shot might be a little op

[mild elm]

Getting a third hammer from echo is insanely OP the synergy in this was so good

[wild kiln]

First time. Swapped an Epic Apollo omega for the heroic Zeus. Best decision ever.

[slender idol]

i know this is god mode, but this is a start

[rich garden]

I feel like I very much underestimated Aphrodite's boons in the first game, anyhow first run completed

[sweet lynx]

hephaestus blasts did all the work for me on this run. first clear!

[versed vault]

Third Clear with 2 skulls and without dying once through out the whole run (remained with 3 DF).

[peak abyss]

First win in terror 20, deathless too , felt like going mana-less and special oriented with early zeus, I should maybe have changed my mind seeing the hammers I was given but stubordness didn't punish me this time. I strongly think Momos (Momus) Aspect might be a bit overtuned on the damage bonus.

[vernal veldt]

Tap special to win 🤣 EZ

[short perch]

https://streamable.com/6iiogu
I had +534% dmg, +15% attack speed, +10 flat dmg, +60% channel speed, -20% dmg taken during spin, and I could only take 15 dmg at a time
Balanced, didn't even need to try to dodge anything

[jaunty imp]

I finally beat him!

[desert moon]

It took me way longer than I expected, but we take those.

[sturdy heath]

aspect of charon feels weird but it's cool lol

[eager shale]

first win, finally

[vagrant locust]

160k dmg glyph run

[copper belfry]

Adding my first win for the history books. Death to Cronos! Also, fire is Fun!

[waxen drum]

this seems like the easiest build to beat chronos

[trim hemlock]

sureshot fury + hook knives + aphrodites' flutter flourish make sister blades insane. 200k+ special damage

[gaunt mural]

First win! Took me more time than the first game but finally did it! (took 21 for H1, 26 for H2), Hera attack my beloved

[cedar holly]

Hi guys ! first win for me today 😄

[rapid radish]

Rate this run

9:10

[magic gate]

First clear. Took 31 attempts

[sturdy swift]

first run lets go! The damage here was Spiteful Strength but this was mostly carried by Omega Special spamming with Born Gain

[cerulean shoal]

Just got my first win earlier! crazy because it was actually my only run of the day, I thought I had my winning run yesterday but lost it right at the end, been playing on and off throughout the day on my SteamDeck working on the same run, didn't have high hopes, but then I met Echo who gave me my heroic boon from the night before and I just knew I had to make this my win

[uneven widget]

I absolutely love thanatos axe! Closest I've gotten to a run without dd but still a bit inconsistent with chronos

[calm ruin]

first successful run with the skull!! thought I'd struggle with it but it's pretty fun actually!!

[echo juniper]

First clear! Artemis' keepsake carried this run

[plush knoll]

Just got my first win! Phoenix skin might be a lil bit busted

[maiden fox]

I FINALLY DID IT YEAAAAAAA

[echo juniper]

how are you guys getting so many legendary and heroic boons? just did my first clear and all I had was a rare

[plucky crane]

hiw the hell

[maiden fox]

demeter's rarity boon + chaos boon upgrades

[echo juniper]

Nice! I'll try that out later

[plucky crane]

seeing this runs and then wondering if i have a skill issue or not because Chronos is giga tanky.

[echo juniper]

he really is

[plucky crane]

out of everything that i think my biggest complaint is the HP gap between Chronos and Cerberus is way too high.

[echo juniper]

took me some runs to get past cerberus consistently, at first he seemed so tanky

[maiden fox]

i love the chronos fight, it instills mso much more fear in me compared to the hades fight and really made me pay attention

[echo juniper]

2nd phase is brutal

[plucky crane]

I can clear Cerb no problem but cant get past Chronos At all.

[maiden fox]

same, i appreciate it though because i had a streak of like 10 after my first hades kill and i dont imagine it'll happen again with how chronos is

[plucky crane]

i havent even seen his P2 yet

[maiden fox]

terrifying

[plucky crane]

hence why im curious if im just under "skill issue" or im genuinely doing something wrong.

To be able to consistently get to chronos and not kill him lmao?

[maiden fox]

naw, some people take longer times to beat certain things, one thing ill say is that he is an old man and such makes him have trouble reaching behind him

[harsh wind]

what's the attack you die to most?

[plucky crane]

His Dash mostly

[harsh wind]

cause it took me several goes to time my dashes to evade certain attacks so this is less a "skill issue" thing and more of a "this requires different skills to what we've seen earier and it will take a bit of time to master"

[harsh wind]

the one with the cuts to the ground?

[shrewd bronze]

first victory and then nearly beat it again the next run

[harsh wind]

oh yeah thse are hard to dodge

[plucky crane]

yeah there will be Times where i dodge it and still get hit.

[maiden fox]

this exactly

[harsh wind]

ah it is a finicky one

[plucky crane]

i recently lost a run to his Suction windup because he did a 180 in like 2 frames.

[harsh wind]

that may have to go in feedback cos ive noticed that skill windup can be a bit broken

but IG it fits his theme? but it is a nightmare

[plucky crane]

ill ask if they're willing to investigate the beam mobs and That wind up, because ive had the beam mobs in oceanus move while their beam was still up.

[harsh wind]

also we might want to move this to #h2-builds-and-combat ?

[visual karma]

Second win, hopefully the last time I have the Blessing of Strife on me.
Double moonshot was once again very valuable

[quick frigate]

Killed Eris on my first try, didn't even realize she was an issue until I looked it up on reddit 😅, I was able to beat her before even being able ot beat Chronos

[urban yew]

Sub 30 minuets on my second win, not that bad if I am being honest

[fathom coral]

20 fear chronos run

[cosmic brook]

10 fear, staff very broken

[ornate phoenix]

First win. This build was insane. I was dashing and and doing Omega Special for 600 damage every second. I walked into the fight with 300 health and 14 charges of Healing Hex (still had 8 left at the end). Everyone saying Mel is weaker than Zag just hasn't unlocked enough stuff and found some of the crazy synergies in this game.

[jade ridge]

Torch run! Really nice for privileged status since it's easy to get one through the attack and one on the special

[celest vigil]

Lmao turned this game into basically cookie clicker

[unreal thistle]

In case anyone is looking for a good torch build, would recommend one that just... doesn't use the torches and instead uses your cast lol.

[scenic tundra]

second clear!

[jade ridge]

In fairness, your damage from attacks and specials is more than your casts...once you consider static shock!

[unborn ember]

first clear

[cosmic brook]

In fairness, this is at 0 fear. Not really demonstrative of the limits of the game

[mortal oar]

SOB MY FIRST W. THANK YOU APOLLO

[ornate phoenix]

Was my first win yeah. Now looking at the fear options I think I could have had several of them active and still pulled this off. Would not have worked at very high fear though.

[nimble cargo]

alright lightning stack is a bit cheap

[urban yew]

2 in a row

[pure apex]

Got my first Clear!

[sly tusk]

my most cracked thanatos run yet. everything i could ever want and more

[idle stone]

33rd attempt

[gentle spindle]

got my first clear today thanks to dark side

[urban yew]

dark side?

[gentle spindle]

the hex ability that turns you into an impervious living nightmare

[cerulean void]

the first of many https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1234595507532202004/1238315664272523374/image.png?ex=663ed6d5&is=663d8555&hm=d191d6fb3e02050cd3712d764678b5a8d13e9a94494d6c7e567b75366a44bfb9&

[covert hedge]

first W 🙂 also pan lol

[cosmic brook]

dancing > hook potentially...

[median oracle]

First one 🫡
Ngl, the Storm Ring boon feels a bit too powerful

[zinc oracle]

<- H1 chiron main

[obsidian jolt]

evil eye is rlly good for him, +25% dmg is no joke

[plucky crane]

Returning back to this yeahits just his first phase that i have issues with.

you could probably cut his first phase HP by like 15% specifically and he would be perfect.

[zinc oracle]

I was shocked by how much smaller the P2 healthbar is. I got to P2 for the first time tonight, then excitedly said in Discord "I WAS MELTING HIM IN P2 WTHHH" just because I got so close to the kill the first time (got it the second).

[obsidian jolt]

hades boon does that basically lmao

[plucky crane]

so does Knuckle Bone but thats what i mean

ive been using Knuckle Bone and still think he deserves an HP reduction of some kind even if that means nerfing the Keepsakes to compensate.

[obsidian jolt]

in this game specifically, you need certain keepsakes, weapon aspects, and hammers to make it actually feel good to play

[obsidian jolt]

oh sorry i was agreeing with you, it doesnt feel good until you have certain buffs applied

you never get to feel op which makes me sad, its just from "slapping with wet noodle" to "ok at least we are somewhat on the same footing"

but if thats the direction they wanna go in i dont hate it, just takes a while to get used to

[zinc oracle]

ngl i like the sense of adversity and, consequently, the feeling of overcoming that adversity. felt good to have gramps lay some beatings on me before I was able to return the favor

[plucky crane]

because assuming this is his BASE HP i can only imagine what hes like in Fear/Heat.

this is genuinely my only gripe with the game right now

[pliant pivot]

theres not a victory screen for it obv but i fought and beat Eris for the first time, that adamant rail is annoying lol

[thorny pier]

First W with Solar Ring with Easy Shot

[pliant pivot]

W

[final yacht]

First w!!!

[jade sentinel]

It's crazy to think how some are having sub 15 min runs. Just finished my first run at 35 mins.

[ornate tusk]

Had to really lock in for that final boss. Can't believe this is still early access.

[wintry sierra]

First win. Weapon? What weapon?

[odd fiber]

first clear at 25min

[lethal umbra]

I just got chronos half health just after getting "blessed by strife" on my first time getting down there

[south pike]

finally finished both 16. i guess its time to suffer 32 now

[bronze atlas]

It took 46 runs but we got there... Check out the sustain between Life leech, damage receive cap not to mention shielding. Facetanked Chronos for 455 damage and only got through one death defiance. Literally unkillable and memed on him to vent all the spite from coming so close on about 10 earlier attempts. Feels good, god run.

[granite smelt]

Omega special build with a crazy surprise from Zeus and Hera at the last shop

[plucky crane]

[pearl aspen]

i just got my first win dealing almost 2k per strike with the big axe

[wet panther]

first clear! lunar ray + hook and spiral knives go brrrr

[red steeple]

first win, bit of a goofy damage breakdown lmao

[compact valve]

First win in the books finally.

[vernal bridge]

16 fear run, just barely made it Phoenix Skin MVP

[ashen leaf]

this is a victory in my book

[versed topaz]

8 fear run with the classic broken triple hammer combo

[potent lark]

still struggling to avoid chronos' 2nd phase attacks but!! finally did it

[jovial stag]

I thought my last deaths defiance was a 10hp one but it was actually 110hp and it got me my first fear 16 clear!

[lone nexus]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[lime oasis]

most fun run ive had so far, nove strike makes the axe range massive

[echo crystal]

my build is so bad. i did 0 damage. this weapon sux. i never want to use torch ever again.

[burnt skiff]

aspect of momus with +184% from two chaos boons and a heroic poseidon flourish is really good it turns out

[wraith otter]

Grinding up my hidden aspect Axe, its so much fun and some combo's are insane, i had so much hp and couldnt take more than 16dmg per hit

also only 1 deaths defiance used, sadly it was on Chronos

[upper hare]

The fact they gave me 2 duo boons at the last encounters made this possible, finally a 1st clear after so many nights

[wheat anvil]

First underworld run completed 😄

[sage echo]

My first win

[abstract shale]

congrats!

[lime oasis]

wow evil eye is crazy

[stark oyster]

yo lets go we got that 58 minute run babyyy

i legit war of attritioned Chronos, he had a bad time, titan of time wishes he could rewind time before that run

[wicked jacinth]

Run meant to clear my first testament, turned into a win. Proud of this one cuz I didn't end up having to use any death defiances, though I did have a ton of health lmao.

[tiny jolt]

first W with a rather insane build

[noble ginkgo]

was literally impossible to lose this lmao

[lime oasis]

rough run time wise, dmg must have been very low XD

[rich echo]

duuude i finally did it xD

[stark oyster]

oh incredibly

[cunning elbow]

first ever run vs second ever run! this game has sunk it's fangs into me. i'll never escape.

[sinful glen]

momus staff + poseidon special really is braindead huh

[noble ginkgo]

back 2 back wooo
stacking dodge is funny lol

[lunar ingot]

yknow, i killed him. || but liike he kinda just took me out with a one shot ||

[wraith carbon]

death to chronos My first win ever

[lunar ingot]

the 12 hp left 😂

[wraith carbon]

With no death defiance too, the epic dodge really comes in clutch

[silent nexus]

random build but it hit very hard

[echo crystal]

damn this game is hard to go fast. well i did take 2 extra rooms but still more than 20 minutes with a nutty build minus any aspect.

[grim elbow]

[inner bear]

first win

[midnight girder]

victory in finally figuring out how to unlock the boon list, can finally start working on that duo boon prophecy

[worthy fiber]

By the Power of the Moon, I shall Punish Chronos!

[ember trellis]

LMAOOOO It only took me a second clear to start clowning him

That 473 damage suffered from Chronos turned to just 73 real quick

[red lily]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1017693630858788904/1238451668849262592/image.png?ex=663f557f&is=663e03ff&hm=ab13ce29d8cde30f2016b70a5d9220664d565538f52fdea26342a34041c1e94c&
Glorious Disaster is legitimately OP.

[ionic swan]

(posting screenie of build instead) 32 Fear Axe with Hera

[mild dove]

forgot to take off the fear :/

[dire sail]

melted him, death to chronos

[drowsy sedge]

I didn't know you could increase your arcane mastery 😅

[fringe oriole]

1st clear, i literally can't stop dying during the first phase almost died on the second too thank god for my hammers

[versed vault]

bruh lim and oros are way too broken

[wraith cosmos]

@hoary gale here's the build

[cloud ocean]

Death to Chronos! I really thought this was a lost run with the bad RNG I got on my upgrades, so I went for a resource building one instead. But getting the Total Eclipse hex to the point where it made me invulnerable for a couple of seconds was a major gamechanger.

[crude mulch]

Death to Chronos! First win with Aphrodite-Axe and 4 death defiances 😅

[stable thorn]

torches sure are weird, i dont know how to feel about them, i think demeter infusion carries always

[snow lance]

The Momos' aspect makes you feel like a healer xD

Skull are VERY powerful damn

[hoary gale]

average p-wave moment

[sterile grail]

my best time so far

[sinful glen]

was getting bored of momus + poseidon so decided to go with this random build

[bold schooner]

night 12 ! (the appolon nuke is strong)

[clever carbon]

Second clear

[sterile grail]

ASPECT OF CHARON AND APOLO IS THE BEST. CHRONOS BEAT IN UNDER 4 MINS

[chrome kelp]

+1500 damage wasn't working correctly, but zeus attack with torch was definitely a good idea

(Plus the 2 hammers obviously)

[tender sorrel]

Took 34 frikkin runs but I got him down, with which I think is a very fun build.

[wraith haven]

I love not spending any death defiance stacks

[dire siren]

Nothing like being at 16 health with no death defiances and having a hex summon kill Chronos off screen.

[gritty oxide]

Hestia on the aspect of pan goes crazy

[fallow spoke]

best way I could make aspect of charon work, 240k damage is pretty nice for the cast lol

[safe ridge]

Another singer of Apollo's praises has been born. Also screw those clockwork traps...

[dawn hornet]

Ty demeter for the carry

[arctic olive]

gg ez

[glad musk]

my apologies hephaestus, i was not familiar with your game

[stark gazelle]

2nd time i beat chronos nothing really special the build is pretty mid

[celest kindle]

Twin Blades Aspect of Pan + Poseidon Special boon = Total destruction!
If you get the Spiral Knives boon from the Hammer, then each special can hit for up to 1200 damage if all knives hit! (doesn't work well if you are near walls though. But this melts down bosses 👌)

• Also works even better if you get an boon that allows you to throw your cast.

[wanton hollow]

Lol I see that 3 health left

[desert acorn]

not sea storm level of fun but this will do

[grizzled peak]

oppenheimer build

[wraith otter]

Wich aspect did you use?

[grizzled peak]

meli

[wraith otter]

cool, i'll have to try this one out 🙂

[scenic tundra]

i've been dying to eris over and over ... this was the first time i beat her, and i didn't even get down to half health, no death defies used???
twin blades with poseidon attack, haphaestus special, hestia sprint and cast, +200% backstab attack hammer
pretty much just melted everything immediately

[fast prairie]

Second clear 😎

[wide bough]

First Chronos kill. Feels like I've only been able to do this because my build felt broken.

Everything was special focused. Both hammers were for Special, artemis for special, Hermes for special, obviously Poseidon for special. And King Tide is just an instant boss melter. It's so absurdly broken in fact that it feels like the opposite of what all the other boons feel like.

[inland jacinth]

2nd chronos kill and WOW aspect of momus is strong, got insane luck on some pom slices on boons i wanted upgraded, made a flamethrower lol

[pearl gale]

First clear 😊
Special axe goes hard on Chronos phase 2

[quiet elbow]

axe my beloved

First clear WOOOOOOOOO

[rapid wind]

another run in the bag

[zinc stirrup]

First clear earlier today. Mel Staff

[dry jasper]

First clear

[fast prairie]

another one

https://tenor.com/view/dj-khaled-another-one-one-more-time-gif-4816107

[drowsy mural]

3rd chronos win, with a bit of fear this time

[twin drum]

16 heat done!

[split wren]

First win 💪

Dotted Chronos pretty bad, dunno what's happening with the blades there.

[ancient hemlock]

medea stronk

[restive osprey]

finally

[quick blaze]

i want more

[earnest wind]

Ignore how Chronos almost killed me. I just like big number

[wind terrace]

Finally Did it!

[glad sphinx]

The two screens are the same run

[dire siren]

I call this one "U Can't Touch This" (ignore the 503 damage from Chronos)

[forest sinew]

first sub-20 run

[lucid thicket]

Wooow 1st victory ❤️🔥❤️ So much dodge finally got me there 🥹

[vocal arch]

15min26s

[tall ruin]

daggers are so fun to play with tbh

[torn linden]

First win versus chronos! doublewallop with slow cooker and tall order infusions as well as secret crush boon. so my basic attack went all out.

[clear crown]

so proud of myself https://youtu.be/bPA36U_qXlY?feature=shared

[robust pollen]

Phew first clear! Twin blades - Poseidon attack + Artemis support fire for main attack, plus a Hephaestus special with 9 sec recharge, got Transcendent Blood from chaos keepsake to keep my health topped up, and a good amount of damage reduction

Chronos spoiler?||I had phase shift hex (the one that slows time) and it was working really well on other bosses to give me a few seconds to get in close and pump out a bunch of damage - but I failed to foresee that a time spell wouldn't work on the god of time lol - fortunately phase 2 gives you a lot of openings where you can get in close anyway||

[unborn storm]

defensive options in this game are soooooo good its nuts

the feeling of elation when I get hit by Chronos' one-shot attack just to realise it only did 15 damage

[robust pollen]

oh wow yeah that sounds pretty busted lol

[vivid tangle]

First win! Got a really fun scorch build with the witch's staff special

[rare orchid]

Zeus is the best

[noble ginkgo]

First clear. I call it: The Bonk Build

[urban jay]

thunder hammer chop build went wild (1k+ dmgper chop)

[ionic swan]

32 Fear Chronos battle using Thanatos Axe. Hera and Demeter boons to stack Earth elements for Coarse Grit

[turbid pumice]

nice!

[urban yew]

another win under my belt

[swift fjord]

haha 1st time i beat him.

[urban yew]

Well 4 times in a row for the underworld, still struggling on eris

[ionic swan]

Run Hestia Sprint and it becomes fairly trivial

[civic onyx]

it took me 41 runs to finally do it for the first time but I beat him lads

[tame stream]

got a clear with the Eos Umbral Flames! I think it's lame that they have a fail state but they're extremely fun when they work

[civic onyx]

which is about the same amount of time it took me to beat Hades in the original, so I'm happy with myself

[ionic swan]

Wtf

[drowsy mural]

45 fear already? which modifiers are you missing?

[minor ravine]

first chronos kill i can feel the adrenaline pumping through my veins still OUGHHHH

[manic trench]

first win ez

[iron merlin]

my fear setup and arcana

[ionic swan]

Ty for sharing

[drowsy mural]

Could have been 48 with that clear time as well and that happened way sooner than I expected it to. Incredibly well done

[iron merlin]

yea could be 48 for this run, but its p hard to beat first stage in 5min with average luck

[ionic swan]

You play around the 40% crit then ?

[iron merlin]

yup, take one hit from range mob take 24 dmg and bring u to 16hp

[ionic swan]

I didn't think of speedrunning like this, thank you so much for the idea.

[iron merlin]

np np

[edgy tulip]

First win, if Chronos couldn't kill me then the stress certainly will

[maiden drift]

Got cronos down! Used staff special with the "when you run out of mana just prime 8 for a full refill", but I had 250 mana so practically speaking it was unlimited even when spamming 60 mana shots incessantly. Got eris down with the sickle/dagger combo, just omega striking behind her every 2 seconds so she couldnt hit me.

[gaunt spoke]

my first win over mr.time himself ^^

after 16 h of playtime

[abstract coyote]

took me 30h+ but I finally managed, love the aspect of artemis, and I just realised you can pin your relevant boons

[topaz swan]

first time beating chronos 😭 the duo boon between hestia and poseidon was sooo good

[ancient hemlock]

12 fear victory, charon axe is pain

[covert hedge]

favorite aspect, even with not so ideal hammers, double artemis is so much crrriiiiit

[limber sapphire]

This had me stressed, the only thing I had going for me was a ton of health, 3dds and finally starting to learn most boss' attack patterns

Absolutely tanked it through the final battle

[mystic fern]

Finally was able to make the blades work for me, w/ a PB of 18 mins as well. Ironically the dodge made getting the Artemis proc off kinda difficult, since nothing would hit me.

[covert hedge]

pog, skulking and final slice

the magick* drain on final slice is fairly oppressive to the pop off aspect of artemis but a giant magick pool like that seems like it don't care lol and I had not thought about the defense order of blocks, dodges, and misses, but I suppose blocks come last, that's good to know!

[quasi swift]

Tears of failure streaming down my face. Would've been my first clear

[covert hedge]

ouch

[quasi swift]

i'm still not sure how the AOE didn't hit him

[chrome sonnet]

First clear baby

[rigid helm]

Managed my first clear, but it felt like a bit of a slog since I wasn't vibing too great with all the Hera boons I was getting. Honestly surprised I pulled it off

[tame stream]

this run was NUTS

Definitely my fastest chronos kill yet lol, compared to my first ever time taking 5 whole minutes this is pretty nice

[sly tusk]

https://youtu.be/XAgaZ-t8oxU?si=ei9EX3Kd7ulSEhZJ trial of haste is the hardest trial, imo
extremely close win here

[mystic fern]

Yeah in the chambers ahead I just sat there waiting for it to pop so I could go off. It took so long for an actual hit to happen that I didn’t even aim for it vs chronos

[chilly steppe]

Do I get to gloat if I got to the end of Chronos’ first health bar?

[quick blaze]

finally

[covert hedge]

that's probably a really good problem to have 🥲

[chrome sonnet]

How are you guys getting this many boons in one run?

[rapid flame]

behold my first clear with my chanelling attack being boosted to do about 1000 damage each attack

Mel Staff

[delicate mantle]

finally

[desert elbow]

That run had so much burst damage, it's hilarious

[trim spindle]

got my first "perfect". not a real perfect but the game said so!

[bright remnant]

Fear 16 and failed at Chronos 🥲

[quiet marlin]

Got im! Tried to get privilaged status going but just ended up real chonky

[stuck flint]

Had to make this a multiple parter to show it properly.

Chronos was taking 5k damage with each usage of special. 5k is the maximum he can take before he gets a shield.

[sand glade]

Simple, yet effective Hestia legendary - double burn

[noble ginkgo]

Beating Chronos' 2nd phase took all four of my death defiances (I'm not proud of that) but I finally beat it

decent time as well ig

[calm shell]

bombardment from afar seems to be very effective. especially when chronos swipes don't hit at all 😄

[final yacht]

my second clear this time with sister blades

[steep heath]

Since this is victory boasting, anyone has completed all the chaos trials yet? i've got 3 left and want to know if it's something worthwile before i smash my head against that particular wall

[bright remnant]

its sooo hard....

WW doesnt work anymore on him . i keep failing at him

[coarse plaza]

https://tenor.com/view/champoy-el-risitas-kek-issou-etu-gif-17837830

[lucid sparrow]

darkness lvl 10, still far from 55 but step by step

[graceful epoch]

Having mana is overrated

[bright remnant]

what is ur mode

[graceful epoch]

What do you mean by mode?

[graceful epoch]

Give me a moment and I'll screenshot it for you

I'm swapping it around a lot as I can't decide on which pacts work best for higher heat

[bright remnant]

i should play EOS i guess

[graceful epoch]

@bright remnant

[bright remnant]

why 24. should stay at 20

[graceful epoch]

I had a 24 heat Chronos bounty

[frigid forge]

almost separated at two different screens, having to scroll down to see my first win

[bright remnant]

GG completion. i guess once u finish testaments u done the game

[dawn solstice]

My first victory by the way of just face-tanking everything

[graceful epoch]

Well, I'd want to get 32 heat on both routes and then I'll consider myself done for the time being

[weak forum]

I don't know where to post this but cleared this is 1 sec

[frosty mortar]

For as much trouble as I had dying within the first like 15 seconds of phase two the first three times I tried, I was shocked that I won the first time I managed to stay alive past that point. Got pretty blessed in terms of Chaos boons, hammer upgrades, and god boons all working together. Even took the useless Heph+Aphrodite duo boon just because it was offered twice and the second time didn't have any appealing options.

[lone spoke]

FIRST CLEAR LETS GO

DEATHLESS

[mental zephyr]

my first clear!! Poseidon's boons are so so good with the twin blades if you get the right hammers

[tender gyro]

Decent time for my 1st victory I think, his 2nd phase kept messing me up haha

[cursive salmon]

First win, poseidon special + twin blade really feels powerful

[nocturne horizon]

first time beating him with the skull!

[uneven widget]

first run without popping a dd feels nice

[fossil thunder]

Got one today too!

[pine marlin]

Hooow??? O___O congrats, that's insane

[weak badge]

you know how I finally beat Chrono for the first time? 14 stacks of Healing hex, 3x Death Defiance, Toothy Luck + the cat.... and I needed all of it xD

[icy talon]

Most comfortable victory yet. Axe with Special focus feels so good.

[worldly hollow]

The final boss stood no chance lol. Axe with ||aspect of charon|| special build plus Apollo cast is crazy

[weak badge]

how you guys take less than 100 dmg vs Chronos is beyond me xD

[frank meteor]

dont get hit, ranged build

[weak badge]

don't get hit... why didn't I think of that 😛

[frank meteor]

nah i know it sounds dumb but its really it

[celest kindle]

I have no idea how this happened, but hey, I WILL TAKE IT! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
(my best guess is that the revenge boom from Zeus caused something weird that made my HP do that, because it was triggering multiple times during the miniboss in Tartarus that summons a bunch of satyrs. Or maybe it was some bug caused by Aphrodite's legendary boom getting confused with the multiple spawns?)
(I reported this to SGG, btw)

[weak badge]

I would probably still manage to die against Chronos 😛

[celest kindle]

LOL, I went to the next room, and then: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Chronos is playing tricks on me!

[subtle sand]

I got judgement via trinket after Hecate

[little trout]

very fun run

[fervent bloom]

so so much fun!! win no 2

[zinc stirrup]

Aphro + Apollo on knives is very good.

[shrewd bronze]

number 2 win without using attack xD

[cobalt palm]

finally cleared the trial of haste, so rough

[raven timber]

Love the sister blades to be honest

[trail wren]

hehe got my first win after like 18hrs (i suck at the game xD)

[dense dagger]

my first win, this build was crazy. Chrono's first phase took like 30-45 seconds

[fair spruce]

My first W also 😄

That Hermes DD came in clutch - would have been dead without it. 2nd time to phase 2 and I got him!

[wet dagger]

Finally! 😄

[cerulean gust]

1st axe clear, hephaestus goes crazy when pommed

[teal merlin]

Third win, first with wand (other two are Umbral Flames and Argent Skull)

[raven timber]

Getting easier and easier:

[raven timber]

No worries, I believe one of the best things about the original Hades and Hades 2 is that everyone can progress at their own pace... there's no discrimination. They are one of the most accessible games ever

[rugged iris]

FIRST CHRONOS CLEAR. IM CRYING. WE DID IT.

[viscid shard]

finally first win! Haven't unlocked aspects or the surface yet. Got real lucky with Fire Extinguisher in the last shop, Cerberus had like ~20.000 scorch on him slowly ticking down...xD

[dreamy zealot]

definition of run to win xD it was silly af

[rugged iris]

HELL YEAH TO ALL OF US FIRSTIES!!! \o/

[cobalt sky]

Finaly managed to beat with the staff, this weapon eats mana so hard and so fast that i used all of Hecate's trinket on the last map.

[velvet wing]

I call this run "run right up into chronos' personal space and explode"

[cobalt sky]

and yea, i used Total eclipse 4 times in a single fight

[void skiff]

zues is my only frend

[quasi swift]

First Clear!

[inner wind]

ooohh the chaos boons really came in and 2.5x'd my damage 🤤

[slim fossil]

this was straight up just a flamethrower

[shrewd bronze]

and another without attaking

[spice bridge]

first win so far

[versed wind]

First win! The Ω Special on Charon aspect with Hestia cast is BUSTED. I didn't even die once!

[raven timber]

3rd in a row, sister blades just too imbalanced imho

[woven oxide]

Only took me a mana boon swap and a legendary boon to beat this... :)

[opal basalt]

First win, only took me 30~ damn tries @_@

[graceful epoch]

OMG YES 32 HEAT FEAR GOES DOWN
Pan aspect is busted

[sly tusk]

16 fear done

[trail roost]

MY FIRST EVER WIN!! This is for Zagreus !!! I’m so happy

[late spindle]

My fastest time yet with some of my best boons!

[main mulch]

how tf is Chronos not even in your top5 damage suffered. xD
I really gotta wait for a good solid "how to dodge stuff on Chronos" guide because even after multiple wins I don’t understand some of his patterns and cues

[agile dove]

Ta-dah!! First win, Moon Water is hella useful not gonna lie

[graceful epoch]

You can dodge most of the things he does except some nasty phase 2 overlaps just by keeping distance and trying to keep yourself behind him

[trail roost]

It helped me get my first win, it’s genuinely such a lifesaver.

[agile dove]

Genuinely insane how you can stack like 10+ if you play well

[trail roost]

I wasn’t familiar with his attack patterns yet, and I got hit a lot. Thankfully I really upgraded Moon Water and I won due to sustain and starting to understand his attack rhythm

[graceful epoch]

One thing I haven't figured out on Chronos is how to avoid the AoE while he's pulling you in

[late spindle]

Sprinting a lot helps because most things he just can't keep up. Like the suction thing is just free damage once you can get behind him.

[late spindle]

Oh lmao speaking of, I just sprint behind him.

[sharp sleet]

Oh yeah, it's big brain time

[covert hedge]

heph can salvage a run even on no poms imo lol just having guaranteed decent burst damage is noice.

[azure yew]

my first victory!!

[graceful epoch]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/927694753116614746/1238649389518688276/chronos.mp4?ex=66400da3&is=663ebc23&hm=9cca2fee245f5768724cbe2803b114e98240dfb8a21551f7c5302e2d558e6cc3&
like in this case how was I supposed to dodge that? I'm watching back the clip and still have no clue

[sharp sleet]

I mean having him on the edge just makes that harder to dodge in general

[late spindle]

Oh yeah that's actually nasty overlap holy crap. If he was more in the center you might have been able to get behind him.

[covert hedge]

i don't even know what hit ya there

[sharp sleet]

But the timing was pretty unfortunate, chronos at the edge, doing that move with one of the harder room aoe's to dodge

[sharp sleet]

It was the hour hands hitting, they got pulled out of the safe zone

[covert hedge]

this is why aspect of artemis is w. just hold left click and pretend nothing exists

[graceful epoch]

Maybe my positioning just sucks but I get roughly one overlap like this every couple attempts. Guess I'll just have to make sure I have a DD saved and be ready to burn it?

[azure yew]

having gone so far into a run, far enough to beat it, I have to say that the visual clutter this boss fight has is unmatched, not necessary to say this in the feedback channel because it has been said a thousand times already

[sharp sleet]

Only thing I can think of that maybe you could have done was not double back into the closer safe zone but go for the direct opposite

So that the vacuum pulls you into more safe zone

[graceful epoch]

Hmm fair point

[storm jasper]

Whew. Got my first Cronus win. Staff+double special hammer+level 10 Apollo special and damage stacking.

[covert hedge]

u a legend for beating your first titan with torch

[graceful epoch]

Torch is being slept on and I stand by that tbh

[azure yew]

oh no torch hell nah

[late spindle]

Yeah honestly that's what I do, I usually can get to him with no loss in DD, but I go in prepped to lose one or all because his p2 can get crazy. One thing you can also try is Wolf Slam hex for repositioning. I've used it a couple times and it's been pretty good for that.

[azure yew]

it was with argent skull

[storm jasper]

Lol, not a fan of the torch

[azure yew]

it seems it doesn't have an icon yet

[covert hedge]

oh, dang i'm blind XD

[sharp sleet]

I was sleeping on heph sprint. I took it as a meme but turns out

[late spindle]

Same, anyone who can make it work is just an absolute legend in my eyes tbh

[sharp sleet]

It does do damage

[azure yew]

argent skull is the strongest weapon by far, even stronger with aspect of medea

[covert hedge]

medea goes to hell! 🙂

[main mulch]

it also works wonder with Demeter/Heph duo

[azure yew]

gives me bow aspect of hera vibes, i love it

[sharp sleet]

I haven't seen that duo yet, I was getting a bunch of demeter but just never found the duo. What's it do?

[late spindle]

Man I wish I had as much fun as other's seem to have with the other weapons. The only thing that's clicking for me is Witch's Staff

[quaint glade]

Charon Axe + Apollo Special/Cast + 2 Hammers that boosted special + Hestia Special Omega Fireball (And throw cast) + Apollo Legendary + 2 Chaos Omega cast speed boons + Healing Hex with the Give Mana path

Throw the Cast using fireball
Megacharge Omega Special (70 Mana)
Unleash 4 Omega Specials+Hestia Fireball and Trigger Apollo Cast
Replenish Mana (and any damage) with Selene Hex

I killed time so fast -he- told me to slow down

[main mulch]

When you proc an Heph damage event, you reset the Freeze cooldown

So basically freeze, run 1s, freeze, run 1s, etc

[sharp sleet]

OH WAIT I'm dumb I did get that

By then I was 1 shotting everything with the sprint though so I didn't notice it as much

[azure yew]

give argent skull and sister blades another chance, they are the best weapons imo

[main mulch]

So far there’s no weapon I dislike as much as the Spear in Hades 1, color me happy

[sharp sleet]

Any other good meme boons that turn out to be good?

Hades 1 spear haters 🤧

[graceful epoch]

For torches try this setup with Eos, start with zeus for prime chain lightning, go poseidon>hestia>zeus attack in that order of preference and get demester or hestia's cast. You can make use of their superior mobility while compensating for their low base damage (since you won't be getting any magick to omega) with the boons

[sharp sleet]

[graceful epoch]

Since you don't care for your magick you can take every prime effect under the sun and don't need mana regen boons/magic pickups

[azure yew]

the only spear that I liked to play with was aspect of achilles

[late spindle]

Didn't even know there was such a thing, Varatha supremacy!

[sharp sleet]

I think spear was definitely one of my more played weapons, although rail was first by a lot

[graceful epoch]

For me spear was super fun if I had the flurry jab hammer and torture otherwise

[sharp sleet]

TBF a lot of my spear enjoyment was bull rush cast builds so hardly really a spear run

But flurry jab and the triple dash strike hammers are fun

[late spindle]

Meanwhile me who adored Guan Yu spear throwing

[graceful epoch]

Not the triple dash strike, reduced dash range felt so bad 😭

[late spindle]

Also Flurry Jab Dio + Aphro

[quaint glade]

Dashstrike Spearbuild where you could roomclear in 5 seconds flat

[spice bridge]

second win

[sharp sleet]

Gaming

Oh what, chaos can give you another dd, sick

[spice bridge]

Yep

Chaos got very good boons

[sharp sleet]

Yeah fs, I go chaos gate basically every time one is offered

[spice bridge]

Same

Chaos goated

[split raven]

Joined the server just to provide this as feedback but I guess this makes sense to write here: the slow time lunar power is way too strong.
Here's a fight against Eris where slow time effectively had 100% uptime, as it recharges while it's active. Core of the combo was 22-cost Oattacks on the torches, and Hera refill. It functioned as 100% uptime even at only 12 cost torch Oattacks (don't know the proper names of anything ^^; )
Love love love the game so far, I just wanted to say this feels a Smidge too strong to say the least. Sorry about the absolutely terrible encoding but it was the only way to make it a size sharable on discord.

[old mist]

First win. It was not easy and still not properly understand boss attacks

[graceful epoch]

How far into the game did you get? There is something that hard-counters this later on

[dreamy orbit]

Surface run, but this was absolutely bananas. My casts were doing 1700 damage each. Circe also pulled my Eternity arcana to upgrade it, giving me 5 death defiances with Skele's keepsake. could've been 6 had I been using the cat familiar!

[quaint glade]

Oooh, is the Duo Zues+Apollo?

[dreamy orbit]

Yup!

It's effectively the same thing as Solar ring, but double the damage for an extra 30 magick channeled.

[split raven]

I've beaten Chronos and Eris, I know Chronos is immune to the time slow, but even being able to milk the rooms leading up to him costlessly feels very strong

[sharp sleet]

Oh that's sick

[dreamy orbit]

To be honest I've been thinking the same thing regarding the Hex's recharging while they're still in effect. That's really cool though honestly

[spark wren]

Probably the most broken build I've discovered/played -- Free healing, Massive money, Deletes everything on the screen

[split raven]

It feels like "the op thing you discover in early access", hence why I wanted to share it

[dreamy orbit]

Yeah, for sure.

I imagine the game will be in a completely different spot balance wise in the coming year of development though. I wouldn't be surprised to see hex's change as a result of things like this

I think the only thing that's really bothered me is some attacks just feeling borderline useless on some weapons. The first weapon / staff for example I feel like I only ever end up using omega attack.

why would I cast when it does literally 6x less damage?

Not cast, special* Even when I get a gattling gun style build with apollo special it feels kinda mid compared to omega attacks.

[opal condor]

i got my first victory yippie!! i don't even know how, my build sucked lmao

[latent totem]

I shredded cerberus, i think that was the fastest i gave him a bath

[turbid python]

first victory ever was with axe

[swift rivet]

proud of my first victory, with the twin blades

[near socket]

Busted-ass weapon, not gonna lie

[late flume]

First victory !! aphrodite is broken on the blades

btw what was the golden orb in the house after you beat chronos? i went straight to zag's room and it just killed me

[near socket]

The game is still in early access so i suspect we will find out when the game releases or in later updates
and yeah, you will just get killed

[chrome basin]

Expanding Cast with Pan blades goes insane

[neon atlas]

Finally... With a skull weapon..

[quick leaf]

I thought this was a failed run the entire time but ended up being my first Chronos defeat. It took ages to ramp up, took the earth-required stuff before I really had any but managed to get the requirements just before cerberus.

Ended up being honestly too strong, I could just riposte chronos and then deal multiple 2k+ hits to him. I also phase-skipped cerberus.

The 15 max damage is also I think overtuned, mostly for chronos fight. I thnik reducing damage taken by 80% would be better.

[clever carbon]

not even close

[untold tendon]

It just says it is the time lord’s remains

[short perch]

Because the special is very good
This is a non Ω special spam build
It's very good if you stack flat damage sources like Zeus Primed chain lightning, poseidon and artemis support fire

Momus gives your special base power and enables the build a lot

[dreamy orbit]

To be fair, can't say I've tried momus. Didn't realise it gave it base power though ;o

It's felt pretty underwhelming to me nonetheless, even with builds similar to these.

[short perch]

Try it again, that was an 11 minute run, everything melted

[dreamy orbit]

Will have to grind to upgrade momus first hahaha

[chrome basin]

oh damn, i didnt see the timer. thats insane...

[peak blade]

I was beginning to think it would never happen. Sorry I didn't display all the right boons, but this felt really good. Aspect of Artemis with Silver Streak was the main combo anyhow

[dreamy orbit]

neither did I 😂

[short perch]

Yep I didn't even go for pure power that run. Skipped a lot of good rewards just for speed
Still felt extremely strong, I mostly facetanked Chronos because the damage input was insane

[chrome basin]

so stack flat damage + apollo special

[covert hedge]

first eris kill, aspect of artemis with a lvl 5 epic attack heph blast and no decent hammers, hephty is clutch

[short perch]

No, poseidon special

Notice how I haven't even done more than 1800 with Ω attacks

[chrome basin]

oops was looking at the wrong screenshot

[late flume]

oh cool ty

[dreamy orbit]

I will say though, the aspect of momus literally upgrades the base damage of cast of 14 by 25, which is a pretty crazy amount. if the cast did 25 more base damage then I'm not surprised everything melted to be fair hahaha

[covert hedge]

although eris is a bit easier than I thought she was, I was kind of treating her like chronos and not abusing Ω slowdowns, pro tip, Ω slowdowns are good.

[dreamy orbit]

But I'll remove my feedback for now nonetheless.

[lone spoke]

the only reason this build came together as good as it did was bc Echo gave me a random boon from my last run- and it happened to be the duo boon

[covert hedge]

skulk is so borked by itself

and you got flutter strike too, man that's a sitting pretty build imo lol

we in a hammer drought again

[azure yew]

my first victory was two hours ago, I paused for an hour and now I got my second one, this time with Descura

[dreamy orbit]

Thinking about it a bit more, I'm really not surprised you didn't do any damage with your base attack at all with the aspect of momus. My experience has come purely from the base weapon feeling somewhat underwhelming, but that does almost 3x less damage right. A weapon aspect increasing your damage by that amount does feel a little silly...

[azure yew]

first and second victory in a row, after the very first victory the game suddenly becomes easier, it's weird to describe, the same happened to me in the first game

[dreamy orbit]

Have you tried doing the build without the momus aspect?

[hard stirrup]

man I suck ass at the chronos fight

I had like full hp for the entire game basically until chronos fight where I managed to take 768 damage

[jade ridge]

Does managing a perfect infernal coffer count as victory boasting 😂

[late flume]

of course it does

[low trellis]

at last ToT

[jade ridge]

Wait, I only just noticed, how did you take a whole 768 to Chronos! Even with 2 DDs, that's only what, 600? Since DDs are half health

[low trellis]

moon water lets you heal mid battle

[hard stirrup]

I had over 300 base hp(not sure why it shows 152?), also fountain

or the moon water thing from selene

[jade ridge]

Ah, yea, that health thing is so good

[lone mortar]

Yeah if you get enough upgrades you can get over 500 health from it

[sly reef]

les go

[flat star]

finally got my first win imho some of his moves feel very difficult to dodge Coarse grit putting in work

[twin drum]

3k gold build

[slim crane]

i just got my first win after 27 nights

https://insights.gg/v/3BQhJ8qldi3h6FrdwN4sWE

[molten plover]

sub 20 finally

[little adder]

Finally managed to beat him 32 runs in 🥳🥳

[agile dawn]

The fastest I've managed to beat Chronos so far

[shrewd magnet]

first win, didnt need a death defiance lets go

[calm bronze]

This was my favourite run and most braindead run thus far. No mana. Zilch. Attack speed on axe at cost of losing my attack special (which needn't be used, given the lack of mana.
Then freeze cast, hera attack.
All I did was hold down the attack button and occasionally use my cast

[wild adder]

Time had to slow down for me, if only for a moment.

[gentle lion]

first one!
it's such a hard fight the first couple times, but once you know his attacks it's definitely easier!

[modern hemlock]

Ballerrrrrrrr

[keen tapir]

i did it, first time, demeter saved my run tbh

[placid elbow]

Had one of the most broken builds and finally got my first win lol

[void dragon]

My first and only Skulls run for nightmare and i already got an insane build, dealt 1.5k on an O special https://imgur.com/a/mB7u8Jz

[chilly steppe]

Managed to kill Eris twice today. Still working on Chronos

[mortal oar]

Twice in a row 👏 thank you hera &apollo

[chilly steppe]

I’ve gotten to his final phase twice, but it’s too hard to GET THERE in the first place for it to matter much

[chilly steppe]

Dang, you killed Chronos twice in a row? Maybe I’m just impatient

[mortal oar]

Naaaw take your time :) i havent gotten CLOSE to beating eris even once lol

[serene atlas]

FIRST KILL BABY

[jaunty smelt]

I was NOT expecting toclear!!!!

[wraith otter]

Insane run, testing out a new build, still missing some optimization but basically a big chop x4 hit build for 2.5k+ non crit. Chronos took only 3 hits per phase

[paper zinc]

Spoiler on image in case you don't want to see the Fear reward statues before you earn them yourself
Just cleared 32 Fear Surface and Underworld with my favorite new aspect, Thanatos

Taking button mashing way too seriously, accidently took a room in tartarus otherwise could've shaved 20s

[exotic fog]

Told my brain "hey what if I just won"
Proceeded to win

Got what felt like a cracked out run. Only guy who could even really touch me was Chronos

[stark oyster]

almost perfer 3 across the board - 33:33.67

[quartz cove]

Omega Cast = 1700 damage

[grim tulip]

not winning yet but still ridiculous

[echo crystal]

im so slow i cant even get sub 20 on a high roll build with the perfect 2 hammer combo

1st victory thank gods for 1000+ total hp pool

[hexed geyser]

from my first winning run. zeus cast build is kind of insane (I didn't pin it, but I also had lightning lance to place where my casts spawn). 134k cast damage

[spare cradle]

first win lets goooooooooo

[inner acorn]

Got my first win, death to chronos!

[noble ginkgo]

you and me both 🤝

[wraith otter]

is 32 all debuffs, ar is there some leeway?

[paper zinc]

there is lots of leeway, 55 is max

[wraith otter]

ooh sweet, that'll be my next goal then 🙂

[languid flame]

My first clear. On demand crits from artemis, and a healthy abuse of the increased damage from curse arcana saw me through this

i dont think ill ever it this time again. pure RNG, pure spite

[copper hatch]

finally

[mortal lichen]

Ended up as a lightning cast build in the final battle but burn special carried a lot of the run, also I stacked up 19 charges of healing and still lost a death defiance anyways to the final boss's deadliest attack

[pearl aspen]

yup if you want to win just spam zeus boons with the daggers 🙂

[glossy obsidian]

First one without God mode! I still think Phase 2 is too cluttered but it's more manageable than I first thought it was

[pearl aspen]

well played my guy! and with 2 lives left

[glossy obsidian]

V jealous, I've been trying to get this build for a few runs now, hasn't worked out 😭

[pearl aspen]

ahaha i got lucky cause I used the zeus keepsake in the beggining and got a epic, so I upgraded it to heroic and spammed poms

after that was easy really

[glossy obsidian]

Very lucky! Last time I got a bunch of boons that high was when I gave up a bunch of Zeus boons for Hera's Queen's Ransom 🤣

[pearl aspen]

i dont like Hera's boons i just never take them

[proper plover]

staff

[pearl aspen]

those are my runs, pink is win

[fossil tundra]

First clear!!!

[pearl aspen]

well played lil bro, one of many, Death to Chronos

[fossil tundra]

Thanks! It was super fun, and I'm extremely hooked

The high level sprint and vent is OP AF

What a MASTERPIECE

[pearl aspen]

yeah i think so, even tho i never use it, i just use the sprint card because i mostly dodge using the dash

[autumn sedge]

Somehow cleared 12 fear. Went in just expecting to beat Hecate for the Nightmare.

[sterile grail]

same but aspect of charon

[sterile plover]

Stupid meme build with Skull of Medea. Vanilla difficulty so it's not a feat. Just love how dumb this is.

[sterile grail]

"vanila difficulty so its not a feat" BRO WDYM CONGRATULATIONS

[pearl aspen]

lil bro "not a feat" proceed to use the meme weapon for 47 min

[sterile grail]

[sick crescent]

sweatin my ass off over here

[pearl aspen]

i tried an upwards speedrun and died because i needed one more second she was 1hp rip

[sterile plover]

Thanks Dou. I hope you noticed my 69 primed mana with no mana remaining btw lmao

[faint galleon]

First kill lets go

[rancid crest]

So I was told sub 20 was good I kinda inted the last region but zeus/aphro duo boon is kinda busted

easily hitting 1k-2k blitz hits

[granite smelt]

People in here really have to learn how to use the victory screen imo. Here's an example of easy-to-read boon assortment

[limber junco]

I FINALLY BEAT CHRONOS. AND WITH THE SKULLS OF ALL THINGS. that special dash is something else

[lost mica]

This is spam Omega Special and just run into them with love

[cerulean parrot]

is this build using aphrodite/demeter boons?

[brittle haven]

fun build

[ionic swan]

I turned the Axe's shield into a drill and disabled my attack button for the memes. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1233146305308528650/1238502617034784849/image.png?ex=66402db2&is=663edc32&hm=b3cc48b25fd8c336fd1a0359b07eacd687dbd83594a70a9649c52ea9cf2d03e4

[granite smelt]

No I only use Poseidon and Aphrodite boons and their duo

[cerulean parrot]

awesome ty I couldn't tell who else you were using but I wanna try something like this

[peak forum]

Ive been trying for so long to clear and i finally did it 😭

[molten sierra]

First time clearing! Crazy how the right builds can elevate your game. I struggled so badly for 30runs. Only seen Chronos 3 times, and reached his phase 2 once.
Suddenly with 1 build... I took less than 100 dmg from him. 190k dmg Apollo Cast

[magic sky]

First clear ever! Beat it in my 18th Night... but not counting my 4 surface runs (Beat Eris in #17), this is my 14th underworld run!

Build is going into Dark Mode and with Sanctity, I can spam Poseidon's cast! ~700 dmg per button press in that duration. Tooth came in clutch though, because apparently while the Hex is being activated, Chronos still attacks during that animation even though every other enemy in the game freezes in place. In character I guess.

Right after I unlocked Aspects, Chaos Trials and Fear all at once lmao.

[lilac sandal]

Second Underworld finish, sadly at Night 35 😂 . Mostly just screwing around every run trying new builds.

Made it to Eris on the surface after this run.

[tawdry trail]

1hp

[gritty basin]

Not even close babyyyyy! I wasn't even worried... 😅

[teal merlin]

I'm loving Umbral Flames. I become a Blade Rift basically. Never even tounch my regular attack with the Aspect of Melinoe. Was kinda carried by Knucklebones + Aphrodite Boon that makes 1 enemy weak at all times (so Cronos) + Aphro/Hera duo.

[elfin ocean]

First finish with staff! Poseidon on special + double seeking special = big damage

[quartz silo]

Video or sus

[nimble vector]

Night 32 - after an exceptionally close 31
Very comfortable to face-tank most Encounters on account of the extremely high DPS and guaranteed recovery

[orchid flower]

Omg 😭

[orchid flower]

I did it

[crude sundial]

eris hitless, also never lost to her ever since I unlocked the surface

[feral kindle]

one of my attacks dealt about 2800 per hit 😭
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1237906966114861106/1238797991846871050/20240511121312_1.jpg?ex=66409809&is=663f4689&hm=f46e2a7d4e5fbcf6c2660f7cac802253ec54303899f1c5d49ed04e33bae6ca16&

[glad lance]

Got my first win today 🙂 after 56 runs (I gotta git gud, I know)

[west mulch]

Yooo, heroic keepsake and 500k attack damage without an attack boon! Impressive! :)

[bold vapor]

Got so mad that a friend of mine said that axe has terrible dps that I got my second win with it out of sheer rage

[warm junco]

First win with heat. Breaking all the rules with Pan daggers but it was shockingly good even though I got very few boons and there's a few more that would have been great. Killed second form of Chronos in like 5 attacks.

[glad musk]

funny

[glad lance]

got enough heroics there? gimme?

[undone juniper]

the luck is insane

pb by 8 min

hecate at second most damage lol

[ashen sierra]

Special build with poseidon feels insane, I only lost 50 hp to cronos

[lime wave]

2nd victory. I almost got screwed over when I got locked out from using any omega skills due to mp regen skill and mp being primed from Zeus but Demeter swooped into save the day with cyclone on cast

[paper aurora]

First Victory 😄 I think Air Quality made this even more powerful than it already was. I just machine=gunned the Special with Descura and it just shredded

[covert hedge]

to those wondering, you can ||dodge, daze, and parry the 2nd phase chronos ohko||

[sage echo]

hermes came in clutch lmao

[keen glade]

I WON
I accidentally closed the victory screen so I can't show stats oops
but I mostly just stayed very far away from Chronos and hit him with the ranged Zeus cast and axe special

[pliant owl]

Persephone skull is always a fun time

[past dock]

first time. lucky build. in the end, didn't even need death defiance and only used one heal

[sand glade]

So Hermes now give additional death defiance with massive slowness 👀

[stray barn]

1st victory against Chronos! The hook knives are handy...

[sly vessel]

first clear: Aph attack + axe. Never used spin. Don't like hex/omega cast so ignored that. Got Hera's rarity upgrade boon on the last shop, which is why I have heroic boons

[severe kite]

i was being stubborn and just going with the Axe testaments repeatedly while it was still giving nightmare, so this is only my second win against Cronos

[warped aurora]

Finally beat Chronos without using a single DD, omega attack was hitting for 550, over 1000 with Artemis riposte crits
https://i.imgur.com/VdTvU9S.png

[fiery karma]

Hot take: Eris is a harder encounter than Cronos. https://i.imgur.com/GJrGOnB.png https://i.imgur.com/4sv5wTY.jpeg

[thorn saddle]

Second time 'round beating Chronos with... the same build lol

[warped aurora]

I was thinking it when first started Eris, but after a couple of fights no, Chronos harder

[zenith trellis]

damn

first kill and my guy, was he strong

[lunar mantle]

i'm not strong at rogue-like games, and it definitely took many attempts (more than 30+) to get anywhere, but was able to do it !
left on the staff
right on the double melee weapon

[rapid wind]

another one

[noble ginkgo]

Woo first win and only had to use 1 death defiance! Demeter daggers op pls nerf lol

[covert hedge]

first torch dubya, it was so scuffed, the problem with torch is over 60% of the hammers feel bad

[south canyon]

1% CHANCE 99% FAITH OORAH

[undone juniper]

pb surface

is this a good time

[hybrid bison]

first win!!!

[buoyant heart]

I BEAT CERBERUS!!! I DID IT

WOOO

[magic glen]

Finally cracked a win at 4am this morning.

[cyan parcel]

Hera Zeus Duo boon insanity

[mild dove]

grandpa asked if i was going to splash water on him. and so i did.

[warm kiln]

first duo boon!!! (died during run lmfao)

idk how good this was cuz i didnt apply freeze that often 💀

[quasi bloom]

Pretty fast clear with "torches". LOL

[graceful epoch]

My fastest clear yet!!

[covert hedge]

walking simulator ?

[tribal trout]

Good day fellas, the skulls are strong

[quasi bloom]

LOL yeah mel needed some cardio

[atomic silo]

what are your favroutie aspects ?

[atomic silo]

damn what build are you going for ? i cant really understand the language in the screenshot

[dawn hornet]

ty discordant bell

[empty urchin]

That a lot of damage

[rugged cloak]

got my fastest run yet Thanks Chronos :')

[hybrid wave]

18:44 16 heat Ygnium

[warm needle]

the burn is still ticking ten years later

[tall falcon]

poseidon might be slightly overpowered

[vivid kettle]

my first of likely many clears, very happy with the game so far and great job Supergiant ❤️

little sad that i went afk for a bit mid-run, so I can't see my real time spent :/

[glacial geode]

Momus aspect for healing betwin rooms zeus infusion double strike hammer and the big oncle poseidon that make so much damage

[edgy tulip]

Decided to try out the skulls for the first time and uhm, oops. SECOND VICTORY

[frank meteor]

didn't get the duo i was going for but i did have a 6k damage cast at the end so id call it a success

also ive been dropping frames lately so i lost 3 dds on cerberus 😭

[left oyster]

I don't think i'm ever gonna beat this time for eris

[smoky hornet]

easy peasy lemon squeezy ( i hit like 4 crits in a row for 560 dmg each)

[noble ginkgo]

which aspect is this

[smoky hornet]

thanatos

only level 2, so +12% crit chance maximum

[rapid wind]

200 damage every 2 secs? yes please

[glossy obsidian]

Second Skull clear. Almost lost this run to a bug in Chronos Phase 2 where the animation for the stand on the clock face instakill check persisted after it fired, I thought I couldn't move without dying

[cosmic hound]

is not that hard when u have the projectile thing on run

[shut pawn]

yay win

[zinc stirrup]

First Axe clear, very intense final fight

[velvet carbon]

t’would be faster to sac the run and come back with a non scorch build tbh

/j

[zinc stirrup]

I had that bug yesterday btw, it destroyed my run

[glossy obsidian]

Pretty unfortunate when combined with the no pausing feature in that fight ugh

[robust pollen]

2nd Chronos clear, ok this run was absolutely busted - staff, Apollo attack + extended range hammer gave me huge range + crowd control on just my normal, Hephaestus special + cast + vent, also vampiric cataclysm to heal with Omega Attack - that was particularly useful in Tartarus to heal from all the rats

And on top of that, I got the Selene boon that adds more uses of your healing hex even if you haven't used any, so I went into Chronos with 15 heals 🤣 - didn't even end up using that many of them, melted him so fast

[ancient hemlock]

Almost brought the +100% cast damage arachnea outfit to Chronos but i choked 1 room before

[graceful epoch]

Why does Momus staff deal so much damage? Is it stupid?

[lime wadi]

Oh my god I FINALLY DID IT GO TO HELL YOU BASTARD

I love apollo's exploding cast boon, it's soooooo satisfying to use.

pairing it up with Hestia's fireball is amazing too, such a great area denial tool, and let me hit chronos even when he was doing his own nonsense

[strange smelt]

first win... Aphrodite (Heart Breaker) Boon too op

finally I can study for my final exams

[shut vortex]

4th time getting to chronos, 1st clear

[tepid notch]

Jesus 😭 that time is nuts

[tepid notch]

I guess the scorch consumption is necessary atp 😭😭???

[shell parcel]

My best run so far

[tepid notch]

Have u been finding aphrodite is best w twin sisters?

[shell parcel]

I gotta try that damn

[shell parcel]

I think Aphordite is the best for every melee build

[tepid notch]

Gotcha, I've also never rlly tried the marauder slice like that, maybe I'll give it a go

[narrow pendant]

i have no idea what this run was

[short garden]

first W after 20 runs

[pliant owl]

This was the easiest fight I've ever had against Eris. Jesus it was a breeze. Maybe permanent 80% slow IS kinda good (no DDs because I forgot to pause on ships lmao)

[safe bear]

Never had an easier fight against chronos. Killed him so quickly I was surprised when i ended the first stage. That hammer combo was absolutely insane.

[undone quartz]

First chronos kill

[vagrant granite]

I did not think this run was going to make it, but I got there in the end.

[runic wagon]

First chronos kill- with the umbral flames!! Aspect of moros, heph special, the boon where your strikes make lightning - super fun. Had to use almost all of my considerable healing, though, so lots of learning still to do

[sullen trout]

wasnt expecting to beat chronos when i started the run... and it was a little sketchy at the end... but a win is a win!

[oak stirrup]

first clear 😁

[nimble vector]

All according to keikaku

[wintry sierra]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1237164681441837167/1238908341439172659/image.png?ex=6640fece&is=663fad4e&hm=c7b1a21009d113d24e7cdb1bc309e452cc06c067dc61f3930163a7b4517d2562&

Don't need any HP but the last one

[shrewd bronze]

I really feel like most weapon win with special and not normal attack

[plush edge]

first clear love the duo of zeus and hephaestus

[mild trail]

first clear 🙏

[austere lava]

32 fear clear!

[limber sapphire]

This build is so cracked, Hera boons the loml (Yeah it's god mode, because I like to have fun)

[gentle sedge]

can you share which fear you used?

[austere lava]

yea sure! let me pull it up rq. Alright if I dm it? dont want to clog this channel up

[glossy obsidian]

Clunky af Torches clear

[sand glade]

First 12 fear clear. Now I know why people say Poseidon legendary is bonkers - few specials at Chronos equalled 2k dmg just like that!

[rapid wind]

probably the worse build ive had with torches. still clutched a win

[clever sluice]

Latest run

[crude sentinel]

first clear, abused poseidon special on staff with hera and apollo to help keep privileged status active

[edgy tulip]

stress

[urban frost]

Me in feedback, a few days ago: "Staff special is not great, can't see myself using it much"
Me, after killing Cronos in less than a minute while suffering 0 damage: "I was dealing entirely too much damage there."

[sand glade]

Yeah, also got on this 12 fear run perfect hammers - 2 homing projectiles and additional 2 projectiles after hitting enemy

[tough gale]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1229078264811618305/1238921607066550303/image.png?ex=66410b29&is=663fb9a9&hm=d643ad4cd8dc73ad8f74491ddc9ba4fd1bd7762ce2b9c63d3947b9a665f3808a&

would've worked better with the channeling slowdown card

[ancient hemlock]

tartarus is cancer but i did it 🥳

[stone sleet]

I don't have a screenshot but I finally got him

[viscid thicket]

lado sombrio é mt robado

[summer perch]

Death to Kronos, technically the second time I did it but the first time was with the Doom trinket and I killed and the got sent strait home, getting dialogue but not the ability to chill and look around the house

[split stag]

best surface run so far for me i guess

[main ridge]

all my clears have been with selene hp recovery hex 🥲

[lone spoke]

okay i think hook knives are my favorite knife hammer hands down

[noble ginkgo]

16:45.06 run with than aspect. (no godmode. Underworld)

[candid pagoda]

20 heat Fear! Momus Staff is OP! :D

[visual coral]

trial of haste - cutting it very, very close

[vagrant granite]

Skull go brr

[plush gust]

1st time beating the old man and with a 2 second Hephaestus boon

[mossy root]

Finally got my second clear

[sharp sleet]

Woahhh nice, were you offered heroic or did you upgrade w/ keepsake/demeter?

My first grandpa dub was heroic heph sprint

[plush gust]

upgraded it with the keepsake

[sharp sleet]

I definitely slept on Heph at first

[plush gust]

a little off topic, but do you think heph is hot?

[sharp sleet]

Forge bear zaddy

[thick flare]

my specials were doing 1k damage with inifite magick beacuse of hera boon my most op build i've had

[midnight heron]

welp. beat Eris

[sharp sleet]

Just got my first eris win, also with heph sprint xD If it ain't broke..

[midnight heron]

personnally just used the block from the axe

[plush gust]

did that for my first run of eris

beat her, but she is HORRIBLE

[sharp sleet]

I thought the fight was really fun

[drowsy zealot]

yippee! not even abusing glorious disaster :D

[fossil tundra]

Second victory, INSANE amount of health

[wild merlin]

First win 😄 with, Juiced up dagger to dump all my magik. Hera giving me an unlimited pool of magik, Double wolf howl with I frames and a Heart Breaker bomb to reward my magik addiction. I ate a Chronos one shot somewhere, but it got the job done. A lot of time sitting in slow motion spending magik for my dagger lazer beam, then dunking on Chronos as though he where a pyre in pyre, and repeating. Felt safe and cheesy, but a win.

[hearty karma]

Oh my god this melted Chronos in 1:54

[left oyster]

Try Chronos with 32 oath :X, Eris is very easy to learn why Chronos have too much things on the screen so its crazy at least for me

Finnaly finished surface 32 oath

[wild merlin]

Get Hestia sprint. It puts Eris in her place. Just don't greed too much and it turns off everything hard about the fight.

[kind solar]

sorry for the phone photo instead of a screenshot, I was so excited I temporarily forgot how to take screenshots 😭 I was so happy!! As you can tell from my damage taken, he absolutely kicked my teeth in but I was still standing in the end (barely)!! I used a ton of scorch and the moon heals + the upgrade that lets you add 3 every time you use a fountain lol I had like 10 heals when I got to chronos

[left oyster]

Don't worry, i always have Chronos damage like 5-8 times higher than any other enemy, and gj

[flat star]

ok starting to get the first phase down second phase still feels like theres spots its way too precise to avoid dps but i just need to get gud

[brisk kayak]

32 heat cleared

[tough gale]

could've gone a lot better (couldn't get king tide due to crashing wave being removed)

[feral root]

Did you use torches? What build? I'm really dreading the 32 heat runs lol

[cerulean grove]

Chronos, who? ...but that big bag of lasers scares me.

[brisk kayak]

Flames w no aspect. Aphrodite special and triple helix hammer. Some form of magick regen, hestia boon is pretty consistent. Anything else to complement the build and its just ramming thru everything with ur fidget spinner

[feral root]

Why flame attacks when you're focusing mainly on the special?

[winter hollow]

any 40+ run done without Momos ?

[brisk kayak]

Flames as in the weapon of choice. The torches. Mb if its misleading

[regal vigil]

This is the closest I have to the victory screen so far, from beating Eris on the way to Olympus instead of Chronos in the house of Hades.

[eager hemlock]

FINALLY beat chronos after like 14 attempts. this build is really wacky if youre not on a time limit https://imgur.com/M6yTmnN

[fervent moss]

Finally beat Chronos after a very long run to unlock the last reward for the skull

the last Apollon/hestia duo boon save me (got him from charon)

[shy junco]

yall think i got it ⁉️

[sand glade]

Is this Demeter legendary?

[fervent moss]

yes

but got it at the end (useless but complete my prophecy ^^)

[frozen fable]

What vows did you run? 20 seems like a lot
Also congrats well done!

[fervent moss]

thanks, maybe the soul one is a little too cancer (when there is a lot of little ennemi, they keep reviving...)

[rain portal]

Run definitely not as impressive as old mate with 20 fear. That is cursed asf.

Double up on Ω attack, all Ω attack +20 power, +2 skulls, shells fire all at once

[flint wyvern]

Finally beat Chronos and FORGOT TO SCREENSHOT

[open wadi]

or just use the axe to block

[iron merlin]

OMFG 50FEAR I DID IT

[open wadi]

dangg

u just spamming special or using the omega or wha

[iron merlin]

spam only

[frozen fable]

You can see your previous runs with a certain unlock

[iron merlin]

1:17 chronos

[fallow spoke]

max tight deadline is 5 mins right? so were you just about to die at end

[flint wyvern]

Good to know, thank you.

[fallow spoke]

Oh I see the video now damn nice

[iron merlin]

u got a 5hp dot each 1 or 2 sec after time limit

[elfin cypress]

damn, i thought i was fast getting past 32 :'D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01YVWF4YBwY

[tame stream]

my fastest run yet, I think! my specials did 1500 damage per with explosive ambush + hearththrobs! More if I crit!! Also my highest heat clear!

[fallow spoke]

did you purposely choose apollo special, or just got given it

[iron merlin]

i choose which come first, just dont pick aphro/hestia

[tame stream]

why not hestia?

[fallow spoke]

what keepsakes did you use throughout the run

[iron merlin]

hestia is set to 40dps cuz the burn dot

[iron merlin]

white antler so i can keep the 40% crit

[tame stream]

fair, I guess the extinguisher thing isn't consistent enough to get?

[iron merlin]

arcana and fear setup if anyone curious

[iron merlin]

yea u dont get much boons each run

[sand glade]

But.. how? How do you have dmg on the beginning so that you won't run of time?

[tame stream]

why not buy arcana V for the dodge?

[split stag]

what am i watching, this is peak gaming

[iron merlin]

i didnt farm those mats

ah wait

i forgot about arcana V

[iron merlin]

with momus form u have 40dmg base, +50% from arcana with <100% mana, 40%crit from keepsake, and double moonshot hammer for +100%

[iron merlin]

also u have to skip all encounters are skippable on stage1

[sand glade]

What do you mean? Like prioritising Chaos gates and Charon locations and such?

[iron merlin]

yea, u can skip two encounters by picking Charon and event door

[sand glade]

I can see arcana buff, Momus I already know it's S-tier, just keepsake for 40% crit is very risky and you can be just unlucky with hammers

[iron merlin]

i rolled double moonshot hammer on first room, second hammer was useless to this build, u get 4x dmg on first hit in every room so any hit is 40+dmg anyway

[tame stream]

you gotta be lucky with something to do heat that high

[sand glade]

What about hammer that gives 2 more shots when you hit enemy? That's more aoe dmg

[sand glade]

So it's like 50+ heat in H1

[tame stream]

single target matters more to not die to important enemies

[upper parrot]

@stuck flint

[elfin cypress]

max fear in this game is 55 so yes

[iron merlin]

yea its the second best hammer in the build, i did couple tries no that yesterday but my best was on 3rd stage

[sand glade]

ATM yes, there could be more in full game. I suspect 60 or 64

[brisk wave]

hopefully there's the extreme measures fear at least

[sand glade]

@iron merlin I already posted this Momus run, basically ideal setup - poseidon special and legendary, 2-shots special hammer and 2 more after hitting enemy hammer. It's only 12 fear, true, I'm not that good 🙂

[iron merlin]

nw its p good, practice makes perfect 😄

[sand glade]

Give me another 8 hour to the day circle or immune to fatigue then we can talk 😄

[clever sluice]

Woohoo! First 8 Fear Run out of the way. Moros Aspect Torches does it again :D

[versed topaz]

16 Fear done. The fear that removes boons from the pool is such an advantage. Used that to manipulate the boon pool into getting Apollo's legendary

[clever sluice]

Good stuff! Yeah I've thought similar, honestly. For a lot of gods that's actually a benefit, not a drawback

[versed topaz]

yeah. Though its needed. Some of the other fears seem so much rougher than Hades I

[clever sluice]

My first 8 came from this setup, tbh.

Some of them are definitely scary looking though, that much is for certain

[royal harness]

I'M [redacted] ON THE TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME

[clever sluice]

Ahhh, double moonshot wave flourish, yepppp

That run is still my fastest clear lol

[royal harness]

it goes very hard

[smoky hornet]

3rd chronos win, he chunked through my death defiance like a monster, but i had crits on my side

[cerulean sedge]

game crashed after I beat the boss for the first time, didnt save the victory for the interactions right after but managed to get this screenshot. Absolutely soured my first win

idk why it keeps tagging as spoiler

[noble ginkgo]

I finally won one 😄

[fervent moss]

Another 20 terror run to clear the judgment list
A lot easier than with the skull

[covert hedge]

Oooo I didn't even think about using heart breaking on an AoA build, that's juicy, it's like you get to play sister blades and torches all at once lol grats on the time!

[coral finch]

sub 4 minute haste run!

[uneven widget]

Holy cow momus is overpowered

[sand glade]

Reserving all magick into boons somehow scares me. What if I want to cast omega cast? 🤔

[fervent rune]

who needs Omega Cast when you can just pew pew with Momus

[uneven widget]

honestly i dont use omega at all with momus

Fear feels so much more free with momus since all of the magick ones are free and +40% speed feels way more chill when you never need to channel anything

[sand glade]

Zeus cast maybe. Or maybe omega attack to apply debuf on anything in front

[bright remnant]

yo wtf is that build

[sand glade]

But on the other hand it feels like that when applying forced overtime you just don't have time for omega stuff

i cant find a setting called turbo mode and im on steam

[iron merlin]

Check out steam controller setting, go to the button you want, and you should find something like enable turbo in there. There’s plenty guides on YouTube/other places
