h2-victory-boasting

[drifting lantern]

Blitz + Hestia special

[oblique turtle]

The run was 33 minutes.

[clear quarry]

Momus is gonna get nuked 💀

[meager island]

left click go brrr

[stray jolt]

really nice run with charon's axe, also got 4 hammers just for the funny

[buoyant roost]

Charon's axe is so fun with apollo's cast! If you can get Apollo Zeus duo boon it's just a melter

[mossy gyro]

first clear of chronos

[noble ginkgo]

the future is now oldman

[keen furnace]

god of Thunderrrrrr

both Hestia Poseidon Zeus Duo boons have showed

[muted rune]

3rd win 8 fear

[low fjord]

Buffed Zeus Cast carried me all the way.
Got Chaos Cast dmg via gate + Embryo

[feral magnet]

First clear! 52% God mode, Apollo attack on axe with Apollo sprint+ Demeter cast for p status, healing hex, and I messed up my keepsakes by starting with tooth by mistake

[copper valley]

I was so hyped to be done I didnt even screenshot in the moment, I dont like the skulls much :/ (Surface)

[lunar fog]

Poseidon special boost, try it, 2x projecties from Daedalus and all the fast special boons you can find

[bleak plaza]

I like this colour scheme

if only the later surface Biomes were added this build would be SICK

[junior flower]

that was a lotta damage, 2nd victory vs chronos, still with 2 death defiances left

[lapis skiff]

Whew, I am Night's Champion

[tame heath]

First Chronos kill, yay! Also the first time I'd seen many of his phase 2 moves so there were a lot of new attacks I had to learn to avoid on the fly!

[white badge]

did done do it, your band is HELLA mid (im buying merch day1)

[frozen mantle]

1st attempt at using skull... that was ridiculously fast without even trying, might aim for a sub 13 next

[silent cedar]

first win! took a chance with a selene door at the very last chamber (right before charon) and then got her moon water boon...and then found her again in the penultimate room shop lmao

[glacial prism]

This is the farthest I will go because I made a mistake\

IM FIGHTING THE WAR ON CHRONOS ON THE SIDE OF CHRONOS

[exotic fog]

TRAITOR

Death to Chronos
I love the axe

[deft heron]

||Anyone else just sit here and listen to "In the Blood"?||

[exotic fog]

This is, what we call
Tragic

[quiet dragon]

This is easily the best run ive had yet. boons were amazing from the get go.

[woeful quest]

I got my first win c:

[agile terrace]

proud to have gotten 20 mins on my first win

was pleased to see attack builds are possible

[glacial prism]

[wispy merlin]

impressive, mind showing your Arcanas for this? and is it seeded?

[glad zodiac]

5229 damage in few seconds. Aspect of Pan is very powerful with Aphrodite's and Apollo's legendary boon!

[glossy obsidian]

Took Momus to 16 Fear, had some ridiculous Echo keepsake luck picking up Scalding Vapor and King Tide at the same time with the Oath of Forsaking active

[karmic acorn]

Chronos pissed me off time and time again but FINALLY my first victory!

[warped aurora]

Barely managed to do 16 fear, I don't think I'll be doing last statue lol https://i.imgur.com/FF0dNcr.png

[abstract wraith]

Finaly first chronos win

[umbral fog]

idk if anyobdy can read polish but basically rare crop won me the whole game

[cosmic edge]

I love Demeter so much.

[marsh ingot]

well damn, thanks to this server i discovered the amazing thing that's Apollo's cast 🫢 first Chronos kill with no DD

[devout cedar]

made it to scylla on 49 fear

[dire siren]

So, uh, Chaos's Chant is pretty good (Aspect of Eos).

[coral dune]

cleared trial of doom 1st try. Finished scylla 1 sec after pin expired (thanks to kitty death defiance)

[lavish latch]

TIL Frinos’ Hex was so strong… legit one-shot Chronos.

[haughty plaza]

My fastest sister blades run, aspect of artemis got me to 3.5k crits

[graceful epoch]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/927694753116614746/1240364151616962611/20240515190405_1.jpg?ex=66464aa2&is=6644f922&hm=bac80a1174332b409d02f1b3c505e082dd67c680c8d03520b7a7bc6d16df1a51& OMG I DID IT

[raw heart]

just killed chronos if a only dash build 😂 that was funny

[narrow adder]

32 fear run done for underworld + surface now

[rose flare]

[fossil thunder]

Nice work! Do you mind sharing your Fear allocation? I'm struggling with this one. Also, is this with God Mode on or off?

[narrow adder]

here's what I ran with, Aspect of Thanatos on the axe gives you great crowd-clear and damage to hew through all the extra enemies and hp. The second speed buff is probably the worst part, you could replace it with the timer or a few of the damage buffs depending on preference

the run was with god mode off

[fossil thunder]

Ahh that's a good call.

[ionic swan]

Fellow Axe player lesgo

[fossil thunder]

Thanks very much!

[patent harness]

First clear yay! Return knives and circle of knives + healing hex, saved up 12 stacks for chronos xD

[sweet python]

GG

[glacial prism]

Where in Chaos's name are yall getting these heroics???

[midnight comet]

i dont want to think too much about how u deal with 40% faster enemies and 60% plus enemies... more in the tartarus rooms OUCH

[shell field]

First 32 Fear run complete, only took an hour

[narrow adder]

Omega Attack does a lot of work

[ionic swan]

Hera has a boon that turns multiple of your boons into Heroics that decrease rank every few encounters, so people are probably finding her in Tartarus and using that boon to convert things into Heroic temporarily (read: until after Chronos)

[shell field]

Oaths for reference

[prime olive]

holy moly i had the most broken build with axe and the insta kill move got me nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

first time i got to phase 2

demeter is so broken with it I had + 180% on omega attack XD

[midnight comet]

I can only say if u see something is wrong, like redacted just standing there... u need to see more the map and stop the attacks for a moment

[prime olive]

yeah i thought he was aiming there 😭

[fossil thunder]

That 300% first hit is no joke.

[graceful epoch]

That oath is so gross I am not taking it unless I absolutely have to

[fossil thunder]

I think it should be 200% or like 75%/150%

[toxic pebble]

Neat one.

[shell field]

I believe you can actually kinda bypass it either with self-damage, traps, or something like miasma in the fields

Not that I really did but ya can

[shell field]

And to that, the 300% is the rank 2, it's only 100% for the first rank so it ain't too bad if you're careful

[late flume]

absolutely melted chronos on my second win

[fossil thunder]

Yeah, in Oceanus you can pop the steam pipes for like 4 damage. Stuff like that is great.

[thorny birch]

yipee first 16 fear run and win. hated the build tho tbh

[harsh bane]

ty, arcana is 35,5,1235,123,12. not sure what seeded means tbh but think it is. i keep resetting until hammer w/ double moonshot start and then run that and give up if bad time to reset

[shell field]

I find the enemy damage buff way worse than the first hit -- all those little taps become so much worse

[mystic fern]

First sub 20

[hard gulch]

Just beat Eris on a build that seemed suuuper sus (was getting bodied for a lot of Ephyra) but clicked at the last second and basically took no damage. Aspect of Pan I'll never sleep on you again 🙏

[fluid umbra]

first victory without godmode ! thanks amogus

[low wave]

second victory didnt screenshot the first one

[copper valley]

I just absolutely clowned on Chronos with this build, look at the damage

[wispy merlin]

ah meant seeded as in, scouting the tile before hand then "give up" and rerunning the same seed so you have prior knowledge to what starting blessing, where to expect the hammer etc ^^

[knotty orbit]

Which weapon is that?

[midnight comet]

In my runs i often just think about it, just receive some kind of cheap damage each floor to bypass that oath but in the end i never tested it. DK if that work with traps or stuff

[shell field]

That's more or less how I ran it as well, but the trap method is even better especially at really high fear when enemies have the damage bonus

[mystic fern]

aspect of mel skull

[harsh bane]

ah, so kinda but not that in depth. its just want to have starting hammer w/ double moonshot. i give up to save myself the time of resetting again until get hammer for another attempt

[alpine zinc]

One of the clearest runs I've done

[forest plover]

https://clips.twitch.tv/SteamySpinelessSharkSpicyBoy-QF2WD1usR8QvXtu7

My heart skipped a beat at last moment when it said I dont have 10 mana left for dash

[upbeat tangle]

First clear, and it was... kind of trivial. Guess 6 runs facing Chronos was what I needed to learn the telegraphs. Obscenely large health bar didn't hurt--did NOT expect Demeter's Plentiful Foliage to end up contributing like 150hp...

[lapis skiff]

Decided to take gander at this momus staff build folk were talking about, christ

[tranquil otter]

Chain damage machine gun, what a build

[drifting frost]

My first clear. Maxed out daggers and took full advantage of backstab dmg where I could.

[forest plover]

Got all the 32 vow trophies now, it was really tough

[wooden spire]

First clear and I did it deathless :>

[lapis skiff]

Wasnt aiming for it, but got sub-16 even while spending time looking for fish/silver

[cyan walrus]

yes my time sucks but good god was this build good

[fervent rune]

I know Momus is kinda cheap but I'll gladly take my statue anyway

[silent current]

in name of Hades, my best run

[hidden star]

this build was insane

[valid beacon]

Hey, who needs mana anyway right?

[mossy bronze]

It's 12:30 am and I just got my first clear....with 6 HP left...

[mossy bronze]

my exact thoughts

[young gull]

I beat him on accident 😟

[fathom coral]

managed to beat 32 fear in less than 5 runs... staff op

[runic trellis]

First win on night 16 (and 4th time against Chronos). I know it’s not impressive compared to some crazy runs posted here but I’m so happy I finally made it 😊

[tough vector]

first time beating chronos 🎉

[fleet violet]

First time trying to clear fast

Feels decent for an unoptimized run (stopped for ressources gathering, rank 2 weapon, underleveled keepsakes, completely improvising on the spot)

[ripe seal]

Something I won't shut up about in the builds channel is this combination of Air Quality and Scorch being a massive DPS source

Here's a 32 Fear clear applying the concept to Aspect of Pan.

[paper idol]

yayyy my best achievement

[worn wedge]

finally 🎉

[regal temple]

first win, no death defies lost across the entire run. this build was absurd 😄

[atomic badger]

Staff OP with the power of the Sea

[plain token]

8 fear win through cast spamming and 4 second heph blast

[dire siren]

First try 20 fear, only took 6 death defiances and getting +2 shells from Icarus's keepsake.

[lone mortar]

Abusing momussy antler before they nerf it

[ripe seal]

surface 32 with Momus no Poseidon

Heph start Momus is very goodge

[fluid quest]

rank vi? i thought it only went up to five

[dire siren]

Hephaestus's legendary boon increases your weapon's aspect by one for the rest of the run

[fluid quest]

didn't know, cool

[ebon night]

have to say I do not recommend this build lol but got the last testament done

[tough gale]

carried by the soul boon

[misty vale]

very fun aspect

[past relic]

i had him at 20% health second phase😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 it was gonna be my first win

[past relic]

i was actually using charon. it was really fun. sad i lost

[dense sandal]

Tried out Momus, was fun except Dark Side breaking my dash, ability to walk, and being able to use cast.

[buoyant roost]

Yup... Wow

[midnight comet]

Done, i do surface run with Melinoe Skull finally :')

[tribal grail]

almost sub 10!

[hoary fern]

First win.

[white badge]

finally, actual buttery smooth build

[wicked stirrup]

First win of many! I had so much adrenaline in my body that afterwards I was shaking!

[fresh flicker]

Death To CHRONOS!!!

[burnt sapphire]

well

[sudden panther]

air quality + gale force is a wild combo, was hitting 3k + per omega cast

[velvet wing]

Welp, Arcana done

[tough portal]

Zeus/Hera Duo Boon is soooo good if you have only like 3 boons in one of the Gods

[fair valve]

slowly getting closer to sub 10!! whoever told me to save dice for getting charon chaos at fields u da goat

[manic trench]

ayyy new pb

[tough gale]

that was fun actually

[wispy merlin]

my first sub 10

[noble ginkgo]

apparently momus is like the meta for speedrunning rn?

[manic trench]

Def seems like it

[noble ginkgo]

Anyway, here's my first sub 20, somehow achieved with aspect of thanatos (the chronos fight was like 5 minutes long because I didnt have any good way to restore magick)

[rich gorge]

PB. I can get sub 20 min with some more practice.

[lone mortar]

Antler momus to be precise. Very balanced wep and keepsake

[manic trench]

so balanced that the devs shouldnt even bother to touch it 🙏🏻

[glad ether]

feeling really good about this run. best one so far. Momus is bonkers

[wispy merlin]

Just very consistent with minimal RNG required in terms of boons/hammers etc, i think other weapons could get similar times though, just dont think anyone has as of yet

[noble ginkgo]

No matter how good a single aspect is, there's always gonna be another aspect that has an absolutely perfect run to compete with it

[chrome obsidian]

yay i killed chronos for the first time

[wispy merlin]

I'm honestly waiting for someone to post a cracked, Persephone / Melin aspect run, weapon has some gross boss potential

[noble ginkgo]

Although it is true that I saw someone posted a 6:34 momus run and I haven't seen any times anywhere near that since then

[wispy merlin]

6:34 underworld?

[noble ginkgo]

6:34 igt underworld ye

[wispy merlin]

ouch

[noble ginkgo]

I can dm you the video if you want

[wispy merlin]

please do

[chrome obsidian]

how often do they get you to places from hades 1? I was sent to Asphodel once in one of my first runs but not anymore. And i think it is so cool to be sent there

[lone mortar]

Its only asphodel and its very rare

[fleet spire]

2nd clear, felt really nice, only really took damage at the end of his 2nd phase.

[low wave]

clean

[rich gorge]

My first sub 20 run.

[safe dust]

i did it for the first time, yall proud of me

dermeter saved the run with the aphrodite upgrade tbh

[pallid stone]

wat weapon is that

[burnt lava]

Got my first clear!

[safe dust]

argent skull

[cosmic kayak]

I've now beat both the Underworld and the Surface at 32 fear

[safe dust]

i strive to be like u lol

[fallow swan]

Siri, play "Benny Hill Yakety Sax" the build

[rare hazel]

idk what the optimal 20 fears are but priming rarity and missing boons was a pain to deal with

[neon mason]

first 8 fear run, kinda cooked with the boons i got lmao

[tiny pewter]

20 fear sub 14 surface run
also got to find out what happens if you completely exhaust a god's boon pool

[vague nova]

killed chronos for the first time i got alot of good boons

[rapid wind]

run was pretty annoying because of 1 thing. i forgot to activate my magic regen arcana

[zinc imp]

I just phase skipped Cerberus

[slow snow]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee DEATH TO CHRONOS

[velvet marsh]

my last victory with those boons of hera and the skulls, my favorite build

each time chronos hurt me he would take more than 10x the damage, crazy

[rapid wind]

nasty comeback

[sullen spire]

this took FOREVER

[pallid stone]

first 20 fear

[tranquil hamlet]

Now get that one duo that gives keepsakes +1 star

[thin briar]

first ever clear! ~20h in, took me 27 nights, though a few of those were spent aboveground including 1 eris kill (:

[halcyon pawn]

I finally got my first clear!! I accidentally exited out though so I couldn't grab a screenshot
The returning knives hammer for blades is MAD good though, hard carried my run

[lost crag]

first clear. very happy

[sullen spire]

guys what am i supposed to do with these now

[brittle kraken]

stock up on resources for when updates come, like Fated Fabric and more Moon dust

[granite smelt]

Aspect of Eos enjoyer

[exotic fog]

Charon enjoyer

[solemn stone]

tfw no born gain
tfw no double omega hammer

[exotic fog]

Still working out how to go fast in this game

Though getting consistent wins should be my priority

[bleak plaza]

so... that was indeed a run

I'm disappointed I didn't get my Heph Legendary

[fossil thunder]

2 sec refresh. WOW.

[bleak plaza]

the damage dealt, 150k from Blast, 2nd is 39k from attack

[clever geyser]

i was looking for an aphrodite attack but i ended up getting heroic heart breaker and then the next room ||echo duped my aphro boon and got the duo boon||

[patent cloak]

hook knives + spiral knives + apollo legendary on pan is pretty good

[bleak plaza]

lmao what

[clever geyser]

guh

[tough portal]

Saw a Holy Hand Grenade build on youtube and thought it was fun, this one left much to be desired but it did a surprising amount of burst

Medea kinda cooks if you get the right boons

also Heroic Born Again is absolute peak

[rapid wind]

magic primed: 1

[lyric sonnet]

https://tenor.com/view/how-dare-you-excuse-me-gif-26208500

[bleak plaza]

I think you might need more Magick

[wise delta]

Finally got my first one

[cosmic shell]

Not much but proud to have gotten my three statues. Might start trying to make all the keepsakes next...

[paper zinc]

Got my 32 fear clear with Artemis. Carried by Coarse Grit once again, allowing me to just face tank Chronos whilst wailing into him

[ionic talon]

So exited after I got my first win because of my excitement. Got staff with Poseidon special up to legendary Poseidon+ duo pos/Zeus.

The return of the sea storm

[chilly cave]

Almost a sub 10 minute clear, gotta be one of, if not, the fastest.

[drifting lantern]

32 HEAT BABYY

[amber pasture]

staff attack spam is pretty good with posideon and zeus boons

[midnight comet]

"Omega attack is too slow" say about the torches, still 19 min jojojo

[velvet marsh]

i love this boon

i bet they're gonna nerf it eventually

just did another run with the same build, born gain goated

[limpid turtle]

This 2-Shotted cerberus

Insane on single target but was a bit lame room clears.

[noble ginkgo]

this shi took forever 😭
aphrodite and zeus have NEVER failed me

[wise smelt]

first Chronos yeet YIPPEE!!!

[echo crystal]

pretty slow by current speedrunning standards i guess.

[jovial coral]

despite the build sucking ass still a decent run

[velvet marsh]

is that legendary an apollo boon? gotta try getting that, op as heck

[waxen spindle]

anti-eris hit-and-run build, just hit her with a special and keep running

[limpid turtle]

Oh yea, its hella good on builds that are all in on omegas

[swift shard]

the 2 times I reached phase 2 before I was too far from safe-zone so I couldn't actually see and get to know how the one-shot mechanic worked, so then I made my mind as a WoW player and thought "maybe its an area i have to go step on"

[pseudo pawn]

didn't think i'd beat him with ygnium, which i thought was my least favorite weapon, but i was proven wrong

[toxic perch]

i miss the aspect of beowulf

[pine loom]

i know poseidon builds are done to death by this point, but i'm particularly proud of almost no-hitting the entire run

[valid beacon]

Victory without gods boons! Hex, chaos and hammers are all you need

[granite smelt]

Guys what do I do now?

[solemn stone]

a bit of column a a bit of column b

[solemn magnet]

Omg, Chronos at 32 fear done !

[brazen glade]

first run completed with judgment

[fervent fossil]

argent skull with blitz and vent used judgment card

[lament cove]

Finally beat Chronos

[brazen glade]

broken build

[dense mulch]

1st win

[tiny fiber]

Total melee and tank. Still got all my death defiance. Chronus can't hurt me at all. I feel like a God.

Cast is crucial. And damage reduction is crucial.

[hallow fiber]

so close to sup 20 qq

[tender sentinel]

Let me tell you, when I say that Chronos was fast... He was indeed fast

[chilly cave]

Almost sub 10 minutes.

[solemn magnet]

Finally, I managed to unlock the third statue ! I didn't expect it to be this hard. But very happy, very satisfied with what I was able to do, I can say that I can finally enjoy the game peacefully now !

[craggy garnet]

48 Fear! Dread attempting higher, Tight Deadline and Revenants combination will require ungodly amounts of good rng.

[graceful epoch]

Nice one!

[craggy garnet]

Trusty Shield secretly MVP, negating Vow of Suffering and allowing to play a bit more aggressively to make the timer

[graceful epoch]

That's the armor in every room from Heph, right?

I still can't get 40 fear on momus. Do you need double special start to make the Erebus dps check?

[craggy garnet]

Yeah. +300% first hits remove the armor and don’t damage hp, disabling oneshots. Boon rarity doesn’t matter

[craggy garnet]

If attempting 5 minute per biome - Double Moonshot is pretty much required, yes. Shimmering can work as well, but will require good room rng on top.

[graceful epoch]

I made it to fields a few times but the game just straight up doesn't want to give me double moonshot

[earnest salmon]

Double moonshot only shows up when you don’t need or want it. It’s a cursed thing fr

[craggy garnet]

The Fates Arcana (changing room rewards) is quite good to get more consistent Hammers/Poseidon. Can reroll Gold/Poms/Hexes into the Hammers/Boons.

[cold jetty]

death by cat

[graceful epoch]

Yeah now that I'm doing a little fear 32 to warm up it showed up lol

[oak lion]

i think this was my 2nd victory, ~3000 damage per click

[earnest salmon]

Hahaha, on brand as hell 😭

[wintry field]

Eris / Axe / F30

Anyone knows, what does it mean the heads icon on the guardian?

[graceful epoch]

That's the amount of fear you need to kill it at to get a nightmare

[white badge]

til special fires stack

[bleak plaza]

pretty quick beatdown for Eris this time

[low wave]

sub 20 yay

[solar star]

Woo! Got him for the first time!

[earnest salmon]

Let’s go!

[bleak plaza]

not a victory, but... I'm Ghost Rider

[tidal fiber]

Had an absolute god run today, hit chronos for 3-4k with 1 Ω special

[hazy sapphire]

10 sec immunity + 10 sec of 133% dmg. Chronos got melted, think the entire fight from start phase 1 to end phase 2 took just about 2 minutes.

[small anchor]

First 32 heat victory

[muted rune]

Coarse grit momos ftw lol

[thick depot]

first victory!

[misty atlas]

32 terror wins

[bleak plaza]

I didn't need Magick anyways

[craggy garnet]

40 Fear without Momus. Staff special is still busted. Crazy luck on boons, wish I got something close to that on Momus runs when pushing high Fear. Also, 0 damage +40% speed Chronus!

[ivory moat]

Can you please share the arcana setup and fear build?

[pearl orbit]

finally!! this build was so busted

[verbal wedge]

Barely even broke a sweat on this one ngl, my health didn't even dip below 300

[twin robin]

First run cleared without a death defiance

[craggy garnet]

Attaching screenshots. Fear setup is for 40, but I think 45ish is realistic. Will be happy to answer any questions

[quasi bear]

First time defeating time machine gun staff is so powerful

[feral summit]

Axe basic attack and shovel stacks a lot of hp

[cerulean rock]

first clear, thank you od and dad for a combined -35% health 🥵

[round vortex]

With but a sliver of health left, only after this I learned about aspects 😄

[ocean dagger]

you can post image links and they will embed

[vestal hazel]

it worked ty <3

[pliant token]

At one point, I had 4 hammers on me.|| Icarus|| Keepsake expired before I could win with it thou

[soft trail]

Who needs weapons, I present to you dash/sprint only win.

[vital surge]

What are the core parts of the build here?

[raven badger]

can't believe how busted this is. killed chronos phase 2 in 30 seconds

[wild nacelle]

I DID IT

[fathom trout]

Managed to do Fear 32 before the patch dropped ;-;

[vernal veldt]

triple hammer go brrrrrrrrrr in the spin 2 win meta lol

[cerulean pawn]

did a little face-tanking on this one :3

[restive merlin]

Only one button was really needed

[pale sonnet]

First clear and probably the only one just as Sprint update come in the background lol.

[ebon night]

I'm curious about the no revenant choice here, I don't love revenant but I like it better than enemy damage or something else I think

[lime wadi]

Holy crap this was an intense one. I was going for the judgement arcana prophecy and I was having it ROUGH, I ran out of death defiances in the fields and even used the tooth there, so I had like, a pin and a dream. Managed to buy one death defiance at a well of charon right before tartarus but then didn't get anything on charon himself at the end. I was also going for the aphrodite air infusion for that dodge chance, and I swear I went through SO MANY of her doors, and it just didn't show.

Luckly for me, static shock on the daggers is super super good, even if I only found a rare one. Holy crap I was terrified at the end, but being super super careful paid off.

[sturdy gorge]

I understand that horror, same thing happened to me my first time, ran out of DD's, bought at charon, and prayed that I could beat em

[split stag]

where... did you lose all your DDs with those "most damage suffered"

[lime wadi]

lots and lots and lots of tiny hits taken

that mourner that killed me was the last one in a long line of jerks💀

[mystic fern]

First run of the new patch, almost sub 16, prolly gonna start running aspect of mel since artemis feels too slow to activate

[midnight comet]

Revenant can take a lot of time in a run, and to counter that u need to go to the green circles... that with 40% more speed enemies + 20% more enemies is a nightmare, and ofc, u can make a mistake when u need to pick up that, and that many times in a run... More if u dont go with busted builds like Momus.

[ebon night]

That's fair, as I was thinking about it, all that started to come to mind

[dapper crystal]

FINALLY \o/

[solemn stone]

we facetank now

[sinful lion]

11 minutes? So fast? Wow...

[solemn stone]

what? 11 mins is the remaining time left

[lone mortar]

Thats the time left over

[sinful lion]

Oh, right, I didn't notice 🙂

[nocturne venture]

chronos got absolutely melted

everything lined up perfectly

[solemn stone]

how do you roll so many chant boons wew

blessed by the fates boon list

[cosmic shell]

You can get the same Chaos boon twice from their keepsake, iirc.

One from the keepsake and again from the Chaos room.

[solemn stone]

i got offered chant once but i never got a duo for the rest of the run
tfw

[lone mortar]

Tf

[sterile trellis]

not necessarily a victory, but i cleared the charon chest in less than a second because the axe is busted

[bleak plaza]

my attacks throw out so much random stuff

[soft trail]

20 fear using only the dash/sprint.

[stiff narwhal]

This must have been insane haha

[whole flint]

The run before I unlock Momus

[broken fiber]

i did it YIPPEE ^_^

[silver minnow]

first time lfg

[shy sky]

one step closer to my second muscle mommy statuem. barely cleared this one. had a big crit to finish off Chronos.

[thick kraken]

Not a victory over cronos. STILL A VICTORY!

[craggy garnet]

Yeah, it’s a time consideration mainly - rooms in tartarus with lots of enemies get especially long, with enemies being able to revive multiple times if not picked up. Tight deadline is actually a bit easier (less chance to mess up), so that’s what I went with. This might be different for other weapons, i.e. melee.

[round aurora]

2nd win, i know it aint much but i'll take it

[ripe seal]

32 Fear Mel Staff clear - I tried doing something with Circe+Huntress but it just kept being too hard. Air Quality + Scorch feels like it's going to be the way to get 32 Fear clears on staff without relying on Poseidon, Momus, or Born Gain.

[ancient hemlock]

is it even possible to lose?

[noble ginkgo]

My first completion, I'm actually shaking holy fuck

[sly tusk]

truly insane run, and my pb time by far

[midnight comet]

Almost made it to chronos in the first night, with a not very good build :')

[stiff isle]

incredibly silly aphro momus spam

[paper idol]

gotta love the amount of hp i have

[frail silo]

got him finally

[tough pasture]

dark side build goes crazy

[chilly cave]

Aspect of momus staff, Poseidon special, double moonshot hammer. That’s the basis, then shoot for the King Tide Poseidon legendary boon and the hestia/poseidon duo that makes steam is also insane if you can get it.

[fair valve]

getting so close to sub9

[rugged minnow]

finally killed gramps with tight deadline on!
and boy was it tight

at the end i just went yolo and smaked him with a double charged omega special while standing in the instakill field with 0 seconds to spare
i was already bleeding health

i love this game

[autumn marsh]

Second win, this time with Charon's weapon, 10/10 weapon

[sterile trellis]

blades + aphrodite is always a good combo

[lyric sonnet]

🫠

[flat ravine]

Idk if this counts but pretty much every run I got Eris and it made my game feel so bad, I almost dropped the game, but now I got all these rewards, 2 bones, 5 green, 3 dusts. We're rich!!

[copper valley]

My skills literally dropping by 90% as I enter the final boss room (still won tho)

[rugged minnow]

let me guess
gramps hit you with his spinning golden bayblade of bullcrap?

i always get hit by that attack too

[brave vortex]

I think I've shockingly found the counter to that, and I'm not joking
stand still

[copper valley]

I got hit by literally everything but I had 5 death defiances so

[rugged minnow]

what

this can't be this easy...
can it?

[brave vortex]

it makes like a semi circle around where you start I think, I was using a mostly ranged build and it kept going around me

[rugged minnow]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-what-que-recalculando-loading-gif-19097337

ain't no way

[brave vortex]

but thats just a theory
A GAME THEORY
would be a great way for the devs to get us, we see an attack coming our instinct is to run and so we run into it

[lyric sonnet]

startin to feel like a maid picking up all this trash, but im a sucker for loot!

[copper valley]

I can stop whenever I want

[nimble vector]

The "Run up and hold Special" build worked surprisingly well

[lyric sonnet]

victory

[rugged minnow]

oh that's some dark souls 3 stuff right there
i remember struggling with the abyss watchers, going absolutely insane
and then my friend just said "don't dodge, walk"
and then i beat it on the first try

[flat ravine]

I will simp, I got 60 now. I hope we find a use later, the trash stock is so high

[grim fossil]

finally

[coarse goblet]

I may have a gambling problem

[grim fossil]

chronos really gave me a beating

[upbeat cairn]

Concave Stone forced me to beat Chronos with 0 Magick lmao

[prisma crane]

not so much a victory boast but getting this boon for the first time ever feels good

[velvet wing]

Boon Punishment forced me off of Hestia and accidentally created the sniper rifle.

[vagrant wagon]

skull builds are wild

[ebon night]

The range on this must have been wild

[velvet wing]

I could hit Cerb outside of his shockwave. I also got Apollo Cast with Hades Cast, so I was basically annoying Chronos from the other side of the room.

[ebon night]

Amazing

[wicked birch]

accidentally stumbled unto my first victory using a weapon i'm not even good with 😭
this was also immediately after losing to Chronos on a run i was certain i would win so it was super stressful since I didn't even think I'd get that far

[velvet wing]

Apollo boon sweeping the entire room lmao

[unreal depot]

getting my hephaestus attack to a 2 sec cooldown was absolutely busted

[forest geyser]

42 Fear with aspect of momus (easy mode)

[lapis skiff]

Oof, Trial of Doom is done, just have Haste and Heartache left

[craggy garnet]

50 Fear!!! Literally shaking.

[quiet marlin]

First clear without taking moon water or losing a dd. Big ol lightning bonks.

[granite basin]

won it

[pallid stone]

fear 27 done with momus, i got the hera boon that makes your boons heroic in the shop right before chronos lol

[gentle phoenix]

First time!
Thank god for Selene's healing blessing, I had almost 18 heals in the last zone, and for Chronos used like 5, i think, but still had 9 to go and 1 DD.

[misty vale]

this weapon broken, spam special for win

[astral dragon]

As soon as they patch the game I finally clear on the same run lol

[vital surge]

WOW this is broken

managed to get the poseidon special and double moonshot in my first two boons of erebus

[crystal moss]

9mins!!!!

[misty vale]

bro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzP7_vc3s5s&t=217s

[crystal moss]

ah 2nd map

[sweet shell]

https://medal.tv/games/hades-ii/clips/2dvItwNjNvXsjP/d133757BcuUr?invite=cr-MSxNU2YsMTQzNDMyNjMs

[pseudo sonnet]

First victory against Chronos

[sweet shell]

def reccomend flutter strike on aphro instead of scorch on future runs. works so well with the sister blades

otherwise nice. i love aspect of arti

[pseudo sonnet]

I didn't run reroll cards so I couldn't get aphrodite attack boon

[sweet shell]

ah

i normally run aphro keepsake in erebus to garuntee it then switch out from there

[vital surge]

what an insane build...

cut down my pb by four minutes first try without really doing much

[mortal elm]

aspect of pan is absurd

[visual coral]

FEAR 20 AXE WIN and i didnt even need any of the 5 defiances i had back there

[thick magnet]

crazy build lots of dps

[low aurora]

first win!!!! im so happyyy

[vital surge]

@chilly cave lol I saw your message

I tried to get the hestia duo but no luck

@chilly cave what keepsake do you take against chronos?

[visual coral]

safe bets are either skelly tooth or odysseus one

[ancient hemlock]

who would've thought all it took to beat chronos with torches was to not use the torches

[chilly cave]

Yeah I cursed and it deleted the message lmao. I use white antler and keep myself under 30 hp on purpose, it's high risk high reward, but 40% crit chance is kinda crazy.

[vital surge]

yeah thats nuts

[chilly cave]

I think with better RNG I could get ~7mins, I didnt get most of what I needed till cerb.

IIRC, speedrun meta rn is actually hera on special instead.

World record is with that I believe.

[vital surge]

that makes sense

hera cast is also extremely nice early, instakills a bunch of enemies on spawn

[noble ginkgo]

Slowly getting faster

This aspect is now usable with the chronos patch

[ebon night]

holy cow, congrats!!

32 heat with the runner up OP setup instead of Momus, Once I got the ranged cast in zone 3 I was off to the races

[misty geyser]

Somehow managed to beat the "Infernal Beast" while under Eris' "Blessing." Only barely though.

[zinc stirrup]

First deathless run, also fun build

[lunar minnow]

My first win a few days ago

[burnt sapphire]

this is a joke

[solemn roost]

Finally beat 32 fear and got my oh so sweet reward of glory and complicated feelings 😅
(Also, aspect of Pan with Poseidon special totally carried me)

[craggy garnet]

Nice! I’ve gotta give other weapons a proper run, been focusing on Momus too much. From my limited Pan experience it seemed a bit clunky - either dangerous if set up in the middle of enemies, or missing half the shots if used at range (even with enemies on the cast)

[low crane]

Decided the skelly keepsake was a crutch instead of a safety net that run and landed my first victory!! With essentially a haha backstab goes brrr build

[misty geyser]

I don't know if this counts as a victory boast, but my first fight with Chronos is gonna include +90% damage taken.

[tough gale]

Don't get hit

[rare hazel]

holy jesus no way this guy missed 4 scythe's in a row so lucky

[ebon night]

Ya the first few runs didn't get off the ground tbh, the heroic poseidon helped a lot early, and I had aphro mp regen for a while which frankly sucked lol

[misty geyser]

I got hit a few times and eventually died, but I got the bugger down to half HP before he killed me! He was dealing with a handicap in his favor!

[velvet carbon]

this somehow works i think but I haven’t really extensively tested it

[brave vortex]

ya and it might not be 100% depending on where you might be standing still and the shape of the room but ya

[crimson cedar]

Not exactly a victory boast, a smaller victory I suppose, but this i the first time this happens to me in whole of Hades 1 or 2,
100 out of 100 gold.
I instantly cleared the bonus encounter thanks to upgraded whirlwind and "explosive intent" from Icarus

[noble ginkgo]

I'm only in the third zone but this build feels like a winner

[fallen perch]

the fact that i beat hecate on 12 fear with luck this bad is probably worth something

[tall oracle]

i love aspect of medea

[naive mantle]

Can't wait to play with the other aspects cause I have not unlocked them yet, but finally I killed the Titan

[pallid stone]

first 32 fear

[vague obsidian]

Idk how to screenshot so here: My first win! Only took 4 death defiances in one boss fight. Nice build also. I had some nice damage from chaos and aphro and some decent resistance from aphro and some well item that was extended for guardians. Hooray

[mossy inlet]

Second Chronos clear! Got a really nice build going off Poseidon / Hestia duo boon, might be a tad broken since it was constantly proccing Blitz from the main hits.

[velvet carbon]

holy early access

[pallid stone]

lol

[tiny pewter]

wave flourish

[vague obsidian]

Yup thatll do it

[shy ocean]

sisters blades is so busted

forgot to capture it when slain Chronos

[final mango]

Got him on a run im not happy about

[granite haven]

2100 damage per left click

[pallid stone]

not really a victory because i lost but definately interesting https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2145939462

[night spindle]

[static cloud]

they need to nerf path of stars

[pallid stone]

they need to nerf exceptional talent imo

[static cloud]

yeah that tho

[rustic scarab]

Probably my favourite run so far

[ionic swan]

I had a lot of fun https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/450385622176235540/1240822260223443015/image.png?ex=6647f548&is=6646a3c8&hm=26b51c6dd44be3fa2f5da912b48e57a9acb0e6ea1c48efda9a656a5ec21df810

[brittle depot]

great and really fun build

[north fog]

i think i have the best arcana card build...

[tough gale]

this is fun actually

[ocean coral]

First time killing Time. 🤩

[whole flint]

I guess 2s is the limit for volcanic strike

[leaden gyro]

so I tried the infamous double shot + Poseidon special, and uh easiest sub 20 min of my life lol

[pearl notch]

This on the double moonshot build is INSANE

[wraith vessel]

How much did your right thumb hurt though lol?

[leaden gyro]

right* index actually because i have attack/special mapped to right bumper/trigger, but yeah I was mashing like it was a mario party minigame lol

here's one minute of the "expert" gameplay against the 2nd boss

[undone juniper]

pb surface run

[scarlet belfry]

It took so long but I finally made it

[dry owl]

heck yeah, scalding vapor on torches rules

[ancient hemlock]

This kids is what we call *adapting when you don't hit *

[misty geyser]

Less of a boast, more so just funny to see Eris be "upset" about the fast progress.

[weary cradle]

my agony

[sharp finch]

was just supposed to be a chill bones farm, ended up rolling Chronos so hard that Demeter dealt more damage to me than Chronos did

[faint galleon]

LETS GOOOOOOOOO

[round lantern]

Wasn't sure I was getting out of that one a couple of times, but I did!

[oblique mesa]

first run trying to abuse white antler, melted Chronos phase 2 in like 10 seconds

[neon mason]

first 16 fear run, phase 2 chronos got 3 shot lmao

[snow ginkgo]

finally...first victory....thank you apollo cast...

[undone juniper]

sacrificed all but 1 hp for pb

didnt mean to be a pb was just screwing around until i realized there was potential.

[ionic swan]

Beating Chronos by having him kill himself slowly with Revenge damage, featuring me spamming Omegas to get my Hex for healing. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1238124170282532944/1240852449934184568/Why_are_you_hitting_yourself_gramps_reduced_filesize.mp4?ex=66481165&is=6646bfe5&hm=37a303fb2d0236486266fb657c3c20b1461a46a941c248bd6306628fbe30f0ef

[drowsy locust]

got my first win againt chronos

[rancid silo]

If Poseidon has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Poseidon has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Poseidon has only one fan then that is me. If Poseidon has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Poseidon, then I am against the world.

[keen cradle]

beat him the first time after 6 trys agienst chronos it was my 44th run this time zero death defiences just played safe and was able to win realtivly quick thank god on phase two did use the healing hex though

[quick light]

ASPECT OF OPPENHEIMER

[slow skiff]

Premptive failure boasting? 😂
Echo's random boon completely destroyed my build lmaooo

[pastel elk]

Not a victory in the literal sense but quadruple Hephaestus is wild

[harsh bane]

new pb, hopefully sub 7 soon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10SX_uS2LuM

[oak condor]

I love how they have done the lack of an ending for both surface and underworld route, it just all builds on the motif of time and I find it swell

[dapper crystal]

YEAH

the fact it's clearly intentional and done in a pretty clean way shows love for the game and its story while keeping players interested for more :3

[pastel elk]

ANOTHER HEPAESTUS

[tough portal]

Wanted to see what all the hullabaloo was about, didn't expect a sub 20. This combo is gross and I only had a lvl.1 Momos with a Chaos keepsake that just gave me mana regen

[wraith vessel]

How are you able to shoot so many specials? Do you play on Keyboard and Mouse?

[harsh bane]

controller, steam gives option for turbo on specific buttons so i can hold to spam. i did start on mouse w/ a macro to spam but liked the movement on controller more

[fast eagle]

"kind of a bad run, guess I'll just gather materials and die whenever"
inb4 I somehow beat Chronos for the first time without using any of my 4 death defies

[tough gale]

It do be like that sometimes, gg

[stuck latch]

First clear 🙂

[static portal]

First Clear!

[wraith stone]

exceptional talent got me through my first as well from memory

[kind lance]

First chronos kill for me. Felt super easy because I was omega tanky

[wet hemlock]

i haven’t yet beat chronos but i DID just beat eris and i feel great about it

(the secret to beating eris is not caring how on fire you are)

[sly tusk]

32 fear torches done, and with a damageless chronos fight to boot

[fleet spire]

extremely cheesy run. Ended up using 6 death defiances overall because I hard threw a Chaos boon that left me with 2 total hp for 6 encounters in Oceanus. All for a lousy 61 extra magick. Echo once again bailed me out. Don't be like me.

[muted cedar]

First fear 20 for me, double special really is just cheese huh

[manic fulcrum]

Finally got first clear on chronos! I'm surprised because I thought my build was pretty trash but finally having 3 Revives, a refilled revive and a healing ult skill finally got me over the line! (Also learning to ignore the adds later in he fight lol)

[zinc pulsar]

first time les gooo

[safe dust]

just more focus on tryna get duo boons n stuff and everything then the games becomes easier

[near plume]

judgement broke and gave me an absolutely OP build

[dapper crystal]

absolutely MELTED chronos lmaooo

[pseudo sonnet]

kicked Eris ass

[rare hazel]

no screenshot but finally got 32 using the dumbest summon hex strat

[high lion]

sorry about wrong channel (pictures aren't allowed elsewhere), but why does this boon have an animation of lights going around it?

[pseudo sonnet]

u using the blacksmith boon?

that's his blast ready indication

[high lion]

ah, thank you

[rare hazel]

i definitely think taking deadlne off is worth it just for the added safety

[formal galleon]

2nd clear

[unborn storm]

Third ever Chronos win, I have decided that the axe is by far the best weapon in the game it is so good

[bleak plaza]

judgement is fun

[little laurel]

~1600 DPS. His insta-kill move cost him 40% of his health because he was in range of the safe spot. Only reason I took 141 damage was because I was like "Naaa, I'm gonna facetank this charge to get a quicker kill and took 106 damage in 2 seconds.

First 32 Fear run, right after I did my first 32 Fear run on Eris. Almost ended the run because I had no hammer, no Uncle Po or Zeus by chamber 5.

[unborn storm]

ooo the way you worded this makes me want to see how much damage the instakill does to him if you have Hera revenge (it does +700%)

[sudden osprey]

p good win :D

[manic fulcrum]

[solemn stone]

finally

[bleak plaza]

8 Fear Judgement Arcana run

[tall ocean]

finally got a clear lmfao this took way longer than it needed to bc i couldn’t figure out how to avoid the instakill attack

[willow quarry]

won against chronos with 0 magick 💀 💀 💀

[wintry field]

And lifeless also 🤣🫡

[abstract shale]

Got lucky with the hammers. Aspect of Pan is just unfair. Was doing 7.7k damage to Chronos with max special charge

[red basalt]

my first attempt with >16 heat lmao... double moonshot was literally the first thing i got

[plucky cairn]

I GOT YA ASS

Scuffed ik but Chronos has been busting my buns for like a week 🗿

turns out when Beeg Omega Special instantly gives a giant hearthrob & refills your Hex game can be reasonably easy

[ionic swan]

[plucky cairn]

Oh my

[twin mason]

and instead i got a bug that food keeps following me lol

like a pet

[supple flicker]

this build pretty fun I really like aspect of eos

[supple flicker]

this is so cool im gonna try it 🙂

[ionic swan]

have fun~

[little laurel]

I see the Triple Helix, but how are you getting 6 orbs out of a single omega special? And how do you cast them so quickly? I'm always stuck in an animation and can't get more than 4 omega specials out at a time.

[ionic swan]

Apollo Legendary

also I found a Chaos boon for charge time reduction, which is always lovely. Otherwise, the charge time shouldn't be too different.

[little laurel]

Ah, thanks. I haven't gotten that one yet.

[ionic swan]

Give it a go, it double casts your Omega Attack/Special

[lusty otter]

First victory!!!

revaal omega special spam with aphrodite is kind of goated

also got a chaose boon that increased special damage as well which definitely helped

[faint scarab]

got my first sub 15 🙏🙏

[tender lark]

this was the most overpowered build i have ever seen

sureshot flurry should have been in the featured list too my bad
this build was literally perfect

[supple flicker]

tried it out! super fun 😄

[solemn stone]

omega special thanaxe

[noble ginkgo]

got the 2nd statue 👌

[drifting lantern]

12 heat meme build hestia + demeter duo & demeter legendary + icarus cast damage boon

[solid tapir]

Took 15 seconds to beat Chronos Phase 2. I got 4 Special Hammers with Aspect of Pan

[muted rune]

clearly haven't done Poseidon momos yet.

[muted rune]

MY GODthat's like the perfect set up right there

[forest geyser]

4 hammer upgrades for the special, geez

[craggy portal]

Pan with the right upgrades and poseidon flourish is so broken, its incredible

[muted rune]

Requires a lot of set up though

It’s why momos is better and more reliable i suppose

Pan really requires 2 boons and a hammer is really shine

Momos just needs a boon that you can basically guarantee with a keepsake

The hammer that causes the special to auto target though really steps it up even further too

[harsh bane]

momus needs pos special and double hammer, think pan is similar w/ pos special but more flexible w/ hammers, not sure tho

[muted rune]

Other way around. Pan like kinda only works once you get hera

Regen. At least on high fear

[harsh bane]

ah tru it needs that too, but momus needs pos special nad hammer, then online

[muted rune]

Momos doesn’t need a regen. Just needs pos

[harsh bane]

ofc can work wo/ but its a lot of power. double hammer is 2x dps, kinda meh wo/ imo

[muted rune]

Pan is crippled by its high mana usage

In high fear

[harsh bane]

ya thats my problem w/ all omega builds, feels bad w/ anything besides hera gain

[muted rune]

Exactly on high fear you need to basically start with hera then hope the rng gods bless you with pos

Or start with pos

[harsh bane]

ya, and fear makes it even worse w/ the hit to starting mana

[muted rune]

And hope they bless you with hera

[harsh bane]

wonder if they like how omega builds r at rn, would think they would want it to be main way to play w/ new game but feels hard rn imo

[muted rune]

Specially since the regen arcana is so expensive

[wintry field]

Eris | F30 | Dagger

[harsh bane]

also would feel much better if omega slow down card worked in timer too, lose a lot of time charging

[muted rune]

Yeah

[harsh bane]

still ea tho, so lots of room to change, rly like the fantasy of them tho

[muted rune]

And turn the timer off after the room is cleared

[harsh bane]

can see your point there, but thats more a general gameplay than omega specific i think

[muted rune]

Yeah

I will win with pan on 32 fear though

[harsh bane]

glgl

[muted rune]

It’s just harder than momos cause of the mana requirement

But i need to lv up momos before it’s truely viable at 32 fear

[craggy garnet]

Not really, levelled Momus is just cherry on top, the core of Double Moonshot + Poseidon Special is strong enough to get 45ish without Momus at all (I did 40 with Meli staff)

[marble turtle]

3rd victory and second consecutive!

[sinful glen]

was just gonna do a testament, ended up getting this win! Down to the wire with Chronos

[wintry field]

F30 | Cerberus | Daggers

[sinful glen]

16F First Chronos clear with Than aspect!!!!

[echo crystal]

my fasted run by far

[steel fern]

Fun build with a clean Chronos kill i'm liking Poseidon way more than in Hades 1

As for why its last patch its because I started this run last patch, then spent a day travelling before finishing

[long kindle]

new best time for me 🎉🎊

[low aurora]

whooo another win i think i couldve beat him wo using a death defiance but i got stuck on an enemy and then he hit me w the instant kill L

[clever carbon]

Hera took my static shock!

[slender crag]

everyone got hitched and then omega special'd

[severe kite]

one of my craziest builds and i somehow managed to get it at 32 fear

[granite walrus]

My first victory.

[keen copper]

I beat Chronos for the first time with pretty bad boons 🤣

[solemn stone]

axe go REALLY spinny

onespin rooms in tartarus

[oblique fog]

Second win lets go!

[harsh bane]

finally got sub 7

[kind basin]

Well, this was broken

[outer gazelle]

first Chronos clear
Haphaestus is goated

[rapid wind]

guilty of machine gun mode, but still fear 20 win https://imgur.com/a/wacijR8

[kindred willow]

It may not be a "mega fear" win, but still, first win with the moonstone axe!

[bleak plaza]

I almost threw because I had too much movement speed and misjudged my movement, got hit by Chronos' one-hits TWICE

[blissful sphinx]

queen's ransom into king's ransom into queen's ransom. cast alone was enough to win at this point, but backstab hammer + blitz + origination just sent it infinite

(hera cast boosted by queen's ransom, then replaced with family trade)

[sudden mauve]

Got'em

Vows:

[ornate peak]

kicked his BUTT !! i still am not very good at the axe but thanks to grandma and my husband? we're doing great

might test out hera next with the axe

[quick nexus]

hook knives build are insane

[gusty breach]

First Run old patch

[stuck grotto]

Final Got It

[celest walrus]

Jeez, finally, momus is stronk

[copper hatch]

30 minutes kek

[latent surge]

45th Attempt but damn it was so satisfying
Love the moonstone axe so much

[brave crag]

beat Chronos in every dress to make this rainbow GIF from all the separate return animations.

[clever carbon]

And Melinoe said onto Chronos, "BONK!"

[steady thicket]

32 Fear was scary as hell

[warped wigeon]

Finally

[pearl gale]

3rd win. Bosses absolutely melted w/ Aphrodite Daggers, probably should have done this way quicker

[fervent terrace]

My first win!

[clever carbon]

This was fun

[elfin frigate]

3 boons lvl 19 XD

[hard gulch]

Three wins in a row and a win on each weapon 🥳 Very much got saved by getting the scorch exploding boon on the very last charon shop

[paper flint]

https://i.imgur.com/0tTYv4u.jpeg

00:00:07 left, no big deal

[dark flare]

Insanely based

[acoustic acorn]

My first kill!! So happy

[feral summit]

Did it

[quiet junco]

meta slave i know

[fathom shadow]

Imagine if it was on a Underworld run not a short Olympus one 😦

[lapis skiff]

Gotta practice more for high heat, but got a new best time while grinding

[mild elm]

honestly, not sure if I should send this here or in the tech support channel because dark side seems very much broken still lmao

[subtle depot]

air quality boon + demeter's are crazyyy all the dps are 30 damage

[mild elm]

nevermind the echo clutch, should I be able to attack him on darkside using zorephet?? that seems a bit insane

[stiff pier]

(would have shown whole build but cant attach 5 screenshots soooo...just a victory screen)

HOLY crap finally got my first clear! Had a mini panick attack near the end cuz I got to 5% hp and just started wailing on him cuz I was like "I got 2 DDs left" and didnt notice the instadeath mechanic darkening the screen. brief panic of "DOES IT GO THROUGH DEATH DEFIANCE" luckily it just TAKES one so wailed on him and took him out. Still, big panic XD FINALLY got him though!

[ancient needle]

First clear! 5th or 6th time fighting Chronos, first time beating his first form, beat the 2nd form in my first try somehow... Spammed Zeus-Aphrodite binding circle and Zeus special and dodged like crazy to win

Also beat Eris for the first time today. What a morning

[thorny goblet]

first clear. this build was very powerful

[dusky spire]

32 heat with momus

[fossil fiber]

'in perfect health'

[bold void]

arcana and keepsakes done

[odd geyser]

First 16 Fear Clear \o/

[hybrid prairie]

my first win!! and i almost died at that last hit lmao

[rare parrot]

finally get to post here

[quartz radish]

YEAHHH

My first win!!!!

[rapid estuary]

Literally ran circles around Chronos.

[cyan walrus]

time is definitely not good, but the build is amazing

[subtle wing]

my first win! took 20 nights but finally got there with an awesome zeus spin to win build

[pearl gale]

That's all 3 Axe aspects done. Lot of fun with this one, only used one DD because I got greedy in the last few seconds

Excited to learn the other weapons now that I'm done with the Axe

[lean cosmos]

No damages from ||Chrono||

[twilit tangle]

First Chrons win, built for Momus special, got none of the good stuff, then right before boss, bought the smithy thing and my special skills went to 2x regular attacks, so i just meleed him down with my plentiful 400+ hp

Bit awkward, but win is a win

Dmg was so pitiful at Cerberus, was hitting like 60ish special hits on it slowly, didnt even bother to dodge that well anymore as could just heal up with Momus

[copper hatch]

uhh for some reason ||Chronos never went into his second phase??||

[frigid gull]

Finally! Not sure if it was the update that did something or I just got used to first phase, but here we go. Tank build for the win lol

[wintry field]

F30 | First Guardian | 7 min

[frank flicker]

Clean simple backstab build

[hard gulch]

First time I took such little damage from Chronos/didn't use a death defy

I wanted to parry the OHKO but instead it proc'd my dodge

[tidal flicker]

Decent time for me but low fear and I am abusing an aspect that will get nerfed to oblivion 100%

[knotty orbit]

Bro how

[knotty orbit]

WHAT

[drifting lantern]

CW: spoiler

[hard gulch]

As in the damage is so low or the damage is so high LOL

I think I had a run where he did 800 damage to me and I won?

[wintry scaffold]

Finally got all 3 :)

[noble ginkgo]

easiest eris of my life (with the exception of her final phase where she stood in the middle of fire)

[rich gorge]

My first successful attempt on than axe. I have been using mostly Momus staff up until now.

[brave crag]

all the dresses.

[chilly steppe]

Alright, taking a break on the higher Fear runs, but I got past a couple Trials AND got my 4th Chronos kill with a new Aspect I tried for the first time

The Haste and Doom trials suuuuck

[brave crag]

i miss sleeping.

[tidal flicker]

? How what

[keen fox]

probably the fastest I've cleared one of these chests

[brave crag]

Protip, you can get the full 100 with the time slowing moon's blessing.

[keen fox]

ah damn, I'm literally running with that one, but I didn't have it charged

[tidal flicker]

I stopped using Phase Shift because it doesn't work against chronos

[cursive mountain]

first victory with noob build!!

[tidal flicker]

Nice!

[delicate patrol]

Flutter flourish, born gain... noob build?

[cursive mountain]

Went in with the idea of I'm gonna create chiron 2.0 and it works

[delicate patrol]

Do you mean "the build any noob can win with?"

[cursive mountain]

Not really, I meant me

Bc I also found chiron was the easiest to win in hades 1, so that was me

[hard gulch]

Daggers my beloved

[cursive mountain]

Daggers are funny I find it kinda sucks until I get the regen then everything is just blast away like I have a gatling gun lmao

[opal wedge]

how do u rate me guys? first time to kill him

[elfin sand]

I litteraly gave up and lost 2 death defiance in the mourning fields bc i was taking too much damage but i decided to finish the run anyway haha

Wasn't expecting to win this one

[tough portal]

It helps a lot if you have the Metallic Droplet for the Haste trial at least 2-star and the aspect with a couple levels in it. It didn't click that you run chaos trails with whatever level you have your keepsake and aspects at until I started failing the Haste trial because my keepsake kept running out too quick

[real crane]

First win and I ended up not needing any death defiances because hook knives is busted

[harsh cipher]

does hook knives apply to omega special as well?

[tidal flicker]

Yes

[harsh cipher]

whoa

[real crane]

Yeah

[candid maple]

my 4th Chronos kill and 1st time beating him without using death defiances

Circe is so good

ive been maining aspect of melinoe on the knives for backstab which goes hard but this was my first time using Circe

+18 health everytime i left a room from chaos and 5 health everytime i killed somebody with my O attack helped a lot as well

[strange bay]

regen?

[chilly steppe]

I think I had the Evil Eye one equipped. That has replaced Skelly’s keepsake for me.

[strange bay]

does anyone use the damage reduction against guardians?

[cursive mountain]

magick regen bc that builds require so much magick to output damage

[strange bay]

ah. not health.

[cursive mountain]

oh you can also run health regen build with aphrodite

I can't remember the boon name, but gets the one that heals you up to 100% if your health doesn't drop below 70%. Get the boon that boosts attack with more health. Get a crap ton of health and maybe the hex that heals you.

I got to chronos before with that build and it was quite comfortable to run. I just didn't play carefully enough to get him

[strange bay]

I was hoping for some healing during thr Kronos fight.

doesn't seem like there is much except moon water.

[cursive mountain]

pretty much I think

[strange bay]

I have an idea for a build. hmmm.

dodge build

[visual coral]

i could use any omega i wanted to and still win

[noble ginkgo]

whats necromantic influence?

[cursive mountain]

No idea. Probably some passives

[topaz wyvern]

the shades that run into people when you dash over them

[noble ginkgo]

ah

[hidden stump]

the build is pretty broken. has anybody a clue if the time is kinda decent?

[graceful epoch]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/927694753116614746/1241144057200378036/20240517224157_1.jpg?ex=664920fa&is=6647cf7a&hm=b6f54d5da679eaa7abf9bef035c7afc1468d1e4a57d075b2e995974b0e13ed5a& antler is so overpowered

[glad bobcat]

finally did it for the first time with the weapon i initially disliked

[glass citrus]

I walked into the Hecate fight with my Aspect of Artemis blades and the hammer that makes your omega attack do like triple damage, activated riposte, and just three-shot her with that strategy

[crimson tusk]

Finally got that White Antler run I wanted Could've had better hammers, but the damage and dodging worked out nonetheless

[brave flare]

I am become death, thrower of knives

[abstract basalt]

umbral flame omega special for the carry

[plucky cairn]

oh y'all were not kidding about machine gun poseidon holy moly

[lusty carbon]

Giving grandfather all his gold back! Had 3k during the fight.

[regal temple]

I wasn't even trying to have a successful run ^^' Momus Aspect goes hard.

[floral lily]

first clear without dying!

[sinful glen]

lost all 3 of my death defiances in erebus because i wanted to try out guardian (maxed out), and well it worked

[whole flint]

My first hitless Chronos (I mostly just stood in place and spammed special)

[hollow quartz]

had some real fun with skull! p sure this is my fastest run yet

[sullen oyster]

First kill ~~~Spin to victory

[ripe seal]

Writing a guide to Momus for the builds channel and just did this first try lmaoooo what a busted setup

[tardy canyon]

Winner winner chicken dinner jeebus

[cedar trout]

LETS GOOOO SPIN TO WIN

[copper valley]

Ever taken 60+ damage per room in Erebus and still won?

[cyan matrix]

YESSSS FINALLY

[frank fable]

I don’t have the screenshot, but I finally beat Chronos last night after 42 runs!

[muted mango]

After losing to Chronos for a while, finally got him, even killed the second phase in first try, that was chaotic !

[whole flint]

Clockets are back

[stable tulip]

very silly run

[glossy totem]

1st clear down, using blades

[gaunt geode]

32 Fear!

[craggy garnet]

Circe at 40 fear. All staff aspects are at least at 40 now, with Momus at 50.

[modern vigil]

I was sooooo op with the arcana that makes you deal more damage to debuffed enemies)

also no revives used in the whole run

[modern locust]

I had to beat all of fields using only the skull's special with no special boon, but how could I pass up this damage

[pseudo sonnet]

Close call

[haughty radish]

finally got a sub 12

[coral tinsel]

i really do not like the axe vs chronos

ignore my lvl 7 double up and lvl 5 cast (i got unlucky with poms)

[mossy inlet]

Finally got my head around Chronos I think, but also this build was just kind of unfair. Saved Hex for Phase 2 and chunked him down (to half) in his first move with that + Heph boons.

[tawny quail]

first ever win..... just face tanked phase 2 lmao...

[zenith salmon]

16 fear, ughhhhh

[rare hazel]

finally got 32 on both god

[frosty mortar]

This one was fun. So much extra damage on omega attacks.

[woeful otter]

god im so bad at this game i needed a broken build to finally beat chronos xD
5 skulls sitting on the ground automatically spamming chain lightnings while im taking 15 max damage lol

[tough portal]

The trials force you to use the keepsake they have in the list

[jovial sentinel]

get dunked on!

[chilly cave]

Good, time. WR is 6:34 though for perspective. Still good!

First sub 10.

[coral dune]

damn this build is meta for a reason

[earnest cove]

chronos hitless pog

[opal ermine]

first win! but i know i can do better >:D

[zinc hamlet]

aspect of moros with heroic Aphrodite special melted (like a torch, heh) everything, including chronos
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1239756813717471366/1241210501455937566/SPOILER_image.png?ex=66495edc&is=66480d5c&hm=0e35dbafbec5e2b45a1e4a8dccaf44a1f30257e7d1789fe41d5459782030193f&

[sonic vapor]

first victory today, felt like AGES to get to this point but it's done 😩

[buoyant terrace]

broken build, focused on hestia and poseidon and moon jump with impervious upgrade

[fleet citrus]

one health remaining with no death defiances remaining 😭😭😭😭😭

[tough gale]

That 1 hp from tooth carried

you posted the wrong victory screen I think

[sly tusk]

i did oop

that's more like it. 32 fear sister blades

[hard stirrup]

Nearly Boonless(Forced to take a boon in Mourning fields, even with 10 rerolls) sub 22 run thanks to momus + double moonshot, also nohit chronos with a resistance to spare
Only boon was flame strike, which didn't do anything bc I didn't main attack once the entire run

[south spoke]

that fight is so satisfying to watch

[hard stirrup]

I feel like for me at this point ranged chronos w/ base speed is just free

Hardest part of boonless is getting lucky with chaos to not be forced to take a boon in mourning field

[south spoke]

what makes momus so good?

[devout cedar]

momus makes it a joke though

[hard stirrup]

insane base dps, also double moonshot hammer just doubles special dps

[devout cedar]

i told you 🙂

[south spoke]

tyty

[rare hazel]

which is why i deliberately never used it for any runs, doesn't feel earned otherwise

[tough portal]

Run felt scuffed didn't do the dps I did on my previous Momus run and didn't get King Tide but you get what you get and you don't get upset

[raven helm]

First time finally beating Chronos, dealing damage with sprint is the funniest thing ever

[modern locust]

shut out

[glass roost]

kinda victory, but more annoying that i cant harvest this material because i just get stunned and die from flames

[modern locust]

got it even higher (and hammer in tartarus? lol)

[thorn saddle]

No clue if Glorious Disaster works with Aspect of Charon but it did deal a lot of damage so!

[clever carbon]

We turn Tartarus into a sauna with this one

[ripe seal]

this was a really hard build to get right and learn to play right

Aspect of Melinoe Torches no Born Gain (I got Hera from Narcissus, wasn't planned)

I think this actually can be a very consistent way to win - going to 5 minutes and turning down enemy damage and using Artificer to get strong enough not to lose all DDs early made it much, much stronger - I didn't play the final fight very well and still only died once, such was the power of this combo.

I think this is about as close to free as Torches can get at 32 if you use Born Gain as your gain.

[lone mortar]

I knew exceptional talent heartthrob spam was the way

[chilly heron]

Chuck that cast on 'em, smack 'em with omega special. absolutely melts. makes up for the early deaths, not that I ended up needing the DD.

[teal bison]

finally got my first clear!

[tough gale]

not bad

[native lark]

the man who carried it all, Frinos.

Also, idc if i get judged for my use of god mode, im here to have fun<3

[toxic perch]

seems like using hephaestus here may be a bit of an overkill

[tough spruce]

Insane axe spin to win build

[upper osprey]

My chronic pain started acting up but I got him. Second win but this build was fun

[ruby reef]

First dub. Poseidon on attack and special, hammer upgrade that makes special return and hammer upgrade that made it cost less magick. It melts EVERYTHING

[halcyon stirrup]

Easily the most broken run I've had, Echo coming in with the extra Daedalus hammer was huge
https://i.imgur.com/lBEeN6i.jpeg

[quiet marlin]

King Tide woulda really made this pop off but I got the W anyway. Eos is easily my favorite torch aspect.

[clever wigeon]

I finally got him 👀

It was the Axe bonks that got him

[quiet elbow]

Win #4, and holy heck did this cast build just end up slapping.

[raw wren]

I had fun spamming the attack button

[keen cradle]

me when speacial goes wave move

[devout cedar]

i mean im running fear 49 with it because its the only weapon capeable of taking it

[solemn stone]

skill issue at minimal fear

[noble ginkgo]

lol this build is so stupid

just run around and people die lol XD

[cinder basalt]

This run may have been on god mode, but the luck was titanic

Just wish it wasn't during one of my farming runs, so it felt legitimate

[quiet panther]

If nobody got me ; I know Aphrodite Hell Splitter Axe got me

[noble ginkgo]

6 heart throb each deal 180 damage and build it in like 1 second

[sonic vapor]

death number two! i definitely took a risk getting the apollo/hestia life boon, but it proved very helpful in the end

[proud pulsar]

Yesssss!!!!!! First win down, finally. Poseidon boon on base staff special, with the hammer that lets you shoot two seeking specials, goes kinda crazy

I didn't even find the slip boon for the curse, that's how potent this was, got +12 on the poseidon special and used blitz attack + demeter slow cast for the 2 curse damage buff, and just spammed special over and over

the damage was nuts

[modern fulcrum]

+11 double wave shots :3

[proud pulsar]

Great minds think alike, haha

[modern fulcrum]

hahhaha

[devout cedar]

i have that too

[modern fulcrum]

yessirr

[devout cedar]

but mine was on 32

@proud pulsar @modern fulcrum

[modern fulcrum]

GAHDAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

[proud pulsar]

yeah poseidon boon on staff special seems to be really strong

you just spam it over and over, occasionally attack, or cast to get a second curse

[devout cedar]

im doing 49 now @modern fulcrum where i got to scylla 3 times

[devout cedar]

you dont attack you just special

[proud pulsar]

second curse buff though?

you get extra damage if you have 2 curses applied, I assume slip and then something on either your attack or cast no?

[devout cedar]

32 / 49 fear

[lone mortar]

Dash strike can be useful, mostly for hit stunning groups

[proud pulsar]

I haven't done any fear stuff yet so idk what that means

I did heat runs in first game, but Idk why having fear would make you not want to go for 2 curses

[devout cedar]

it's this game's heat max is 55 im running 49

[proud pulsar]

yes, but what does that have to do with not running a second curse for higher damage?

[devout cedar]

because my last " pact" disables my arcana for 5 fear 😄

[proud pulsar]

ohhhh I see

[lone mortar]

Well nobody else is running that

[devout cedar]

it was either that on 49 or 5 minute timer for zones on 50

[proud pulsar]

yeah that sounds really annoying to run lol, I'd rather take other stuff than give up arcana

[devout cedar]

im just "that guy"

[devout cedar]

that is fair.. and i would too if my other option was 5 minute per zone clears

[remote matrix]

momus with absurd level 13 wave flourish lmao

[blazing jetty]

first victory over chronos. took a lot of damages against him tho.

damn should put my game in english before posting here, just realized. sry

[celest flicker]

by the skin of my teeth

[lavish scaffold]

26 minutes

[tidal flicker]

My highest fear clear yet

[devout cedar]

nice going

[hallow bane]

Finally won over Chronos for the first time, the flurry + hook knife combo was essential to victory

[glossy moss]

finally 1st

[junior hawk]

My first 32 fear run!

[muted cedar]

Clearly the real way to clear chronos is to brute force it by taking 700 damage

[warm coyote]

First victory after 14 runs! Stacking +cast dmg with Zeus Storm Ring hit like a truck

[ripe seal]

one shy of 700 hp, the quest for 1k begins

[stable bobcat]

got the statue finally

[noble ginkgo]

Finally made it

[scenic heart]

I finally got my first clear. Rate my build?

[noble ginkgo]

boasting that i beat this hellish trial lmao

[harsh bane]

new pb, dont think can get better
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0i62TFdJ0Wk

[dim dagger]

finally beat grandpa after way too many attempts
build was so busted I only spent one dd
(value for Healthy Rebound is 40% and Flutter Strike is 190%)

[digital gale]

Heyyy I just beat him too!!! It was soo fun. I can't wait until the game is finished 🥳

[amber girder]

I finally did it woohoo

This build was really insane did not expect it to work

[floral spindle]

I forgot to upload it but I defeated Chronos for the firs time 2 days ago

[candid knot]

Ok now to be fair, this isn't far. But also, I have no arcana active far the prophecy where you need to beat hecate without

Ok I even beat the boss

Let's see how much farther I can get

[chilly cave]

Show arcana/fear setup?

[chilly cave]

Thanks. Been trying different setups. Can’t seem to break under 8mins.

[harsh bane]

lots of time is from free rooms and chaos skip for fields

[harsh bane]

make sure u dont lose crashing or slip when picking pos boons. can almost guarantee king tide if get 3-4 boons

[lunar fog]

special pos boons build is my forté

even managed to take out eris triple times with the same build

[harsh bane]

ya its super strong, nothing rly comes close imo

[chilly cave]

Yeah, I’ve constantly gotten king tide, I’m not even sure where I lose my time. I’ve had king going into Scylla so many times but 🤷🏼‍♀️ honestly think I’m just inefficiently clearing rooms. Don’t think I’ve ever consciously noticed a fields chaos room either.

[lunar fog]

for underworld special pos boon build, fast specials and apollo sprint, for surface same build only do a hestia sprint for eris'es ranged attacks

[harsh bane]

do u know ur splits for zones?

the chaos skip is from the shop after 2nd boss before going into fields, need to roll for it. try to save 6 rolls if u can

[chilly cave]

Nope, all I know is that I’m pretty slow on first floor and idk why. Usually something like 2:30-3:00 on floor one.

[lunar fog]

@harsh bane tbh, rn i'm just farming zodiac sands and golden apples, just to be ready when the next content comes i might have reagents availble :p

[harsh bane]

thats not bad at all, dont remember times for sub 8, can check rl quick

[harsh bane]

valid, makes sense to farm out rn while build is in game. may get nuked first patch

[lunar fog]

@harsh bane do we know if our saves will be transferred for the official release or do we have to grind all over again,

[ocean dagger]

this channel is for victory screens, please move prolonged discussion and unrelated images to other channels

[harsh bane]

think they said it transfers, but not certain

[lunar fog]

yeah make use off it now :p might be harder later lol

[chilly cave]

They confirmed the saves will transfer

[lunar fog]

lets hope not for the latter :p

[lunar fog]

i could kiss you rn$

[boreal junco]

@summer hedge i can post in here it seems haha i think im almost to the end of biome 3

[summer hedge]

Oooo nice, good luck!

[boreal junco]

have 197 gold here should i just take the life and the pom you think

[summer hedge]

That seems reasonable, yeah

[white badge]

i thought theyd be hella clunky to use from testing on skelly but they were first try good stuff

[boreal junco]

nooooooooooooooo lol i had cerberus to like 3 hits hit and i had 1 hp and he got me dangit lmao

not a real victory but i did almost kill cerberus on my 5th try haha

[summer hedge]

Dang, nice try

[cyan walrus]

first sub-19!! never thought a silver blades Ω attack build could be so fun

[buoyant heart]

I BEAT GRANDPA

FINALLY

AFTER SO MANY RUNS

[static canyon]

aphro special torches kinda strong

[tawny marlin]

I too beat grandpappy just today.

[muted lion]

Torch blitz omega special with romantic spark = very good clear
zeus cast = very good single-target

[lament canyon]

32 fear Chronos clear.
Time for 32 Eris to finish it up

[slow mortar]

chronos didn't touch you?

[lament canyon]

nah

i dont think any boss hit me

[slow mortar]

that's big. most runs are low damage everywhere but like 400 damage on chronos lol
