[slate matrix]

gotcha, congrats on your first 50 clear! Expect your name on the sheet by the end of today

[hardy panther]

your spreadsheet has been a massive help, so thank you for making (and maintaining) that

[slate matrix]

anytime my friend

[austere lava]

Flick knives build! Scalding vapor really needs a buff imo

[plucky kestrel]

One of the easiest runs I've had

[safe lintel]

Woot woot, I beat Chronos while under the no-Arcana Oath.

[rare nest]

Insane run. I could use hundreds of magick in seconds.

[lethal flicker]

Finally got a Rank 6 Momus, and oooo boy

[lethal flicker]

That same Fine Tuning just gets echoed into the next run too

[random crow]

lol base dmg maxing is fun

[magic sage]

Finally did it! 32 Surface = CHECK!
So happy

[hardy panther]

second 50F

[hardy panther]

third 50F clear. this one was slooooooooow

[velvet carbon]

how are you doing these so fast lmao

[hardy panther]

The Thanatos run was yesterday and the Mel run was today

[velvet carbon]

still crazy fast, i probably just don’t play enough anymore

[hardy panther]

I don’t know if I can clear it any more than a few more times since I’m not that fast with a lot of the other aspects

I am absolutely cooked with the Argent Skulls for one

[visual grotto]

mel axe 50F

[slate matrix]

mel axe and thanatos play just about the same so once you get mel axe than axe just comes down to getting a good rng run and vice versa and charon once you get the hang of things is kinda free

getting your first 50F clear is the biggest barrier

[hardy panther]

4th one with Moros

[velvet carbon]

this is almost certainly not surviving long

[tawdry sable]

Y A Y

[snow yew]

wew close one

[empty kelp]

never had it happen before but 'boons' overflowed their area

[pearl atlas]

Another freshfile pb: sprint builds on kbm are still painful but it's a sacrifice we'll have to make if us kbm players want to get good times.

(or we can get lucky with cast builds but we'll see, still a shame that the base weapon isn't worth using in fresh file)

[hollow ember]

This build basically makes you invulnerable most of the time. (unless you get caught in hourglass's death dome during chronos's instakill attack🙃)

[hollow ember]

meant to mark Geyser Spout instead of Tidal Ring*

[lethal flicker]

Anvil ring might be regarded as one of the worst casts, but it's worth remembering that each hit does benefit from cast damage bonsues

[visual grotto]

mel axe 50F

[visual grotto]

mel axe 50F (with antler rank 4 yeah)

[visual grotto]

mel axe 50F (going on a streak ?)

[visual grotto]

mel axe 50F again

[visual grotto]

mel axe 50F (really good time on this one)

[eager pelican]

Dang you’re cookin

[visual grotto]

mel axe 50F (i keep going)

[visual grotto]

mel axe 50F

[visual grotto]

mel axe 50F (no hit cronos lesgo(last one of the day))

[lethal flicker]

Going hard on the air quality synergies

[timber wave]

Bro what

[dawn lantern]

Finally managed 32F on MY QUEEN the Skulls , all credit to Heart-Breaker

I had dreams of the Heph or Apollo Aphro duo but it did not come to pass

[tawdry sable]

new 32F run :D

[austere lava]

This is my thousandth run

[tawdry sable]

we love to see a pro gamer

[south monolith]

this guy professionally games

[dense cairn]

started as a run just to pass time where i planned on intentionally killing myself at hecate. ended up mid fight to go all the way and never looked back i guess

[dense cairn]

you gotta be capping

[austere lava]

Nah I’m being fr

[dense cairn]

💀

[austere lava]

I like this game lol

[lyric nacelle]

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2521538348187476340/EA91FADA3370D5AC3DAE25481A59715EC3BC164E/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

Kept my metallic droplet with hell splitter tee hee 😎

[empty kelp]

not damageless but less than 5 enemies was fun

fully intact arachne dress too (unsurprising given the damage but also cool)

[hardy panther]

mel blades damn near destroyed my sanity. I died to chronos 4 separate times

[swift knoll]

me with pan, great job though!

[hardy panther]

Thanks! I had a brain fart and nuked one of my runs, thinking I had on pin instead of antler, so I said I'll just take a death here since I can kill him within the 10 seconds.. I lost shortly after that

[subtle ivy]

First 32 fear clear. I got 4 Hammers, and so many attack damage boons. I also did too much damage with speacials because of the duo boon that made atks with no boons do 200%! more damage.

[half basalt]

Vow of Bitterness and Haunting screwed me over bigtime. Probably my most impressive run based on how much of it was just going off of base dmg

[halcyon verge]

okay i just had the craziest run i've ever had. i am the kind of player who will quit early on if i think the run is dead, but i decided to keep going after losing two dds in erebus because i didn't want to lose my nectar progress. one thing led to another, and after having a pretty awful scylla + fields, i was still going because i got lucky with elementary particles, boreal gale, wells, and echo. i screwed up the whole early game and managed to win against chronos with nothing left.

was doing a judgment run with medea skull. i suck at medea skull. i am so proud of myself for clutching out chronos' 1st phase and not losing it in his 2nd. this game is so fun.

[slate matrix]

wait did you clear pan?

[swift knoll]

nonono

[swift knoll]

ive choked on chronos like 3 times and most of the time out in erebus

[slate matrix]

ok ok

u got this

[swift knoll]

thought artemis was hard but pan is actually awful at 50f

[slate matrix]

it is the worst 50 by far

[swift knoll]

oh thats good to hear actually, ive pretty much never used skulls so i thought those would be pretty rough

[south monolith]

Skulls are peak don't let the haters tell you otherwise

[rapid snow]

Lucid gain + Local climate meant I could spam my omega cast and basically have unlimited magic
I just needed enough damage with my cast to quickly charge my aspect of persephone and deal a lot of damage with my omega special

I lost lucid gain because of a forced trade for hera's gain right before Cerberus which made me almost ragequit, but somehow I got it back on the last shop right before Chronos which put my build back together !!!

Also I lost all my DDs in ocanium beforme my build got actually good thanks to local climate, but echo really saved me

[hardy panther]

Persephone haunts my dreams

[lethal flicker]

Pinheads for the win?

[subtle ivy]

Surface 32 fear run complete. Now I got all the statues. last one is kinda mid tho.

[half basalt]

Former Skull hater here this is true
I saw the Omega Special making you invuln and I was like that Lego Batman GIF

[short relic]

what are skulls exactly

[lone mortar]

5th weapon

[hardy panther]

@swift knoll my suffering has ended... I really thought lunar ray was gonna be my savior bc I told myself I can just point it at a distance and have it shred 1.5k everytime only for it to be horribly inaccurate and do nothing. I shoulda just grabbed the wolf howl

[swift knoll]

NICE

[austere lava]

I also have tall order lol

[hardy panther]

My goats Twilight Curse and Howling Soul absolutely annihilated Chronos fight holy. Bozo is nothing without his summons

[half basalt]

Another apology to the Flames community this time. You could say it's actually a pretty *lit* weapon

Poseidon on the Special actually went kinda hard

[swift knoll]

FINALLY JEEZ @hardy panther @slate matrix the time is crazy and im drunk asf but WE GET THOSE

will have a video for mininet in discussion shortly

[swift knoll]

worth the wait ig

[slate matrix]

just shy of top10 fastest clear per aspect per person

[mild kindle]

Thats crazy

[swift knoll]

i saw its so tragic pan in top 10 wouldve been so funny

[swift knoll]

numero 9

[swift knoll]

numba 10, eos is sick

[frosty timber]

Attack spam hours (thanks bestie Echo for the extra hammer)

Fully dropped two DDs against Hecate on timer, but I'm glad I stuck with it because I absolutely coasted after that 😆

[silver cove]

just a small amount of attack dmg 😁

[hardy panther]

you ZOOMED through that damn

[half basalt]

I thought Phoenix Skin was a scam but then I noticed it still regens health even during boon selection

[visual grotto]

mel axe 50F

[subtle ivy]

First run with Moros in a while, and it's amazing. Blitz melts, and heartthrobs go brrr.

[hardy panther]

I played that Chronos fight like an absolute monkey

[subtle ivy]

I want to get a freezer burn build so bad. I see so much potential.

[prime frigate]

80% extra attack speed on thanatos lmao

first time running 16 fear, decided to prime all my magick away and use no omegas. chaos keepsake started me off with speed, turning into magick regen before the end of erebus. after that, i kept it on hoping i'd get a good one: i got max magick, then magick regen, then magick regen again (didn't even know that could happen!)

also, 4 heroics and a legendary? let's go

[swift knoll]

done with torches lets go

[velvet carbon]

how are people so good at this game

[swift knoll]

dude idk last 24 hours i have 4 50f clears though

[velvet carbon]

i have spent the last 24 hours struggling through the most cursed erebuses(?) you’ve ever seen

[swift knoll]

that was how i felt running daggers and to a degree mel torches, erebus rng is the worst part of the trying 50f

if you dont have many clears some weapons like than or eos do pretty well in erebus

[slate matrix]

bro just breezed past me in like less than a week lmfao

[velvet carbon]

currently doin mel axe, made it to like the last 10% of chronos’s health bar before choking hard

[swift knoll]

ive got some free time rn LOL

ill ping when vid is uploaded btw

[slate matrix]

btw

[swift knoll]

woah fr thats sick

[slate matrix]

just fun little stats i like to keep track of

[swift knoll]

dude the spreadsheet is so insane you are the pillar of 50f rn

[velvet carbon]

going for the slowest possible 50 seems interesting

[slate matrix]

Mel torches and Persephone are the only 2 that dont have a sub18 clear rn

[south monolith]

phase shift abuse I suppose

[velvet carbon]

drop 2 levels of timer for abandon

[south monolith]

wow that sounds miserable

[swift knoll]

ewwwww

[slate matrix]

i mean i have it up there if anyone wants to try for it lmfao

this is still so funny

[swift knoll]

moros as the slowest clear is so funny bc its so fast

[slate matrix]

there is close to a 10 minute difference between slowest and fastest clear and its on the same aspect

[slate matrix]

aw thanks

[swift knoll]

having all the clear videos and pictures in one place is so useful for researching instead of yt, the common arcana page is incredibly useful starting out and having the clear ranking on the first page gives something to work to. like you are seriously great for that

id still be at like 2 50f clears if it wasnt for that

[slate matrix]

glad to hear its helped out

[hardy panther]

bro just like me fr (same build)

[swift knoll]

freezer burn goated

[hardy panther]

I finished Eos first try but it was sloppy as hell. Cerberus consider yourself top OPP doing your digging move TWICE when I popped pin. 0 hammers and Hephy was brutal

[hardy panther]

Right? Mininet the GOAT

[swift knoll]

mininet on top

[slate matrix]

my boy is all grown up

[hardy panther]

AYO put me in third for slowest

Third place is third place

[velvet carbon]

oh wow you cut that CLOSE

[slate matrix]

thats a wr in the opposite direction XD

[hardy panther]

I lost 2 DD's to very silly deaths. Cerberus teleported to the other side of the map when I let my pin pop, and I couldn't run there quickly enough. Then in Tartarus, I went to go pop Pin on a trap since my Eos was in lala-land faraway, but it kills the guy right before I can actually do it so I'm going into the next room with 3 HP...

[velvet carbon]

LMAO

[hardy panther]

I was like this run is so over... Then Tartarus threw me a bone and gave me 3 extremely short rooms and I went into Chronos with 1:20 and I was like we're so back

[velvet carbon]

1:20 for chronos is a death sentence for me lmao

[hardy panther]

I just played really aggressively with Eos + Blitz and it worked out

My penchant for clicking the shiny button caught up to me when I had 0 magick during 2.2 lol

I did not need that Elementary Particles, but I click cause I'm a monkey

[velvet carbon]

i mean without that 30 extra hp from water fitness

[hardy panther]

Am I last place in clear times? Or am I first place in the being slow competition? I think it's the latter

[hardy panther]

I likely woulda killed Chronos more quickly if I had the extra magick since that was what was hurting me periodically during the fight and caused me to slowdown, so the extra 30 might not have been necessary

[velvet carbon]

ah

[hardy panther]

https://tenor.com/view/i-raised-that-boy-anime-meme-animemes-memes-gif-16528299

[velvet carbon]

thats a lotta red boons

[lone mortar]

Epic crop gaming

[swift knoll]

keep it coooooomiiiiiing

and my god was that closer than i thought it was

[keen sky]

Finally got my first 32F Chronus clear! Night's Champion and all that.
Mel blades. Caught a couple really lucky Chaos boons: double healing and massive gold bonus. Got really good use of Demeter / Zeus combo cast w/ heroic easy shot. Make heavy use of Poseidon special to push back waves of mooks.

[stiff pelican]

big chop build! i had 1200+ per chop and the rest was slow time and tanking boons.

[harsh wind]

this build was actually disgusting - got chronos's second phase down in 1 cast, 2 omega attacks to charge the hex for the start of the next phase, and then lunar eclipse'd my way to absolutely bypassing the phases without getting hit a single time in the final room (1st phase required me to drop the cast then like 2 omega attacks and he was onto the next one)

[swift knoll]

wicked mirrored blitz is so good

second time using this weapon this thing is insane - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XY_-JLlvQ28

[south monolith]

yep Charon

ggs

[swift knoll]

just have medea and persephone left

[south monolith]

2 banger weapons

[swift knoll]

never used pers and medea once

[south monolith]

make sure you do Hera Special start over storm ring start on Persephone btw

Storm ring still seems to be the more widespread start but from my own testing hera special start is way more consistent (then try to get storm ring in midboss instead of the other way around)

[swift knoll]

preciate the info im about to watch the other 50fs for pers then give it a try

idek how this thing works so i need to see it LOL

[swift knoll]

wait ok im looking at common arcana for pers and unseen is taken over orig/boat??? could like born or ionic gain work or is the usage that heavy

[south monolith]

hardest part of perseph run by far is Erebus and Erebus becomes way way harder when you also need to get a gain
"
Unseen works fantastic with perseph, I do reccomend it.

it basically let's you not click a gain for the whole run (but still pick something up if it's like the best option in Oceanus/Fields or whatever)

[swift knoll]

why is night on though, is it bc unseen is so huntress doesnt work anyways?

[south monolith]

night makes ur O-Cast do a whole lot more damage which lets you charge ur o-special way easier

damage to rebuke still counts all of it's damage for the purposes of the aspect

[swift knoll]

oh ok ok i gotcha, thanks for the explanation

[golden mango]

24 fear

im really slow at this game so i need to work on consistently getting the sub 20 to add TD3

[south monolith]

@slate matrix Medea 50F of the day and new PB 😄

[austere lava]

Fun axe build

[queen vale]

Than+flutter strike=🔥

[visual grotto]

51F mel axe my first ever abandon run win

[paper mist]

damn dude nice work!

[austere lava]

5th 50f!

[waxen harness]

What does "Hand of Zeus" mean?

[half basalt]

Whenever you get a lotta Boons from a specific God, you'll get that popup

Just means you got a lotta Zeus Boons this time around

[waxen harness]

Ah ok, I finished a run with Torch with a lot of Zeus boons

[austere lava]

the exact requirments are the zeus legendary and 6 other zeus boons

[austere lava]

6th 50f!

[cold abyss]

12 air

(I really wanted Aphrodite's infusion)

[half basalt]

Exceptional Talent + Talent from Chaos goes crazy

Wrong screenshot mb

[last zenith]

could have gotten 5 hammers, had charon offered me an anvil

[steep bramble]

hey guys! someone from reddit (think it was @slate matrix ?) mentioned to post runs here, so here is my first 50f clear! Mint Condition OP

[slate matrix]

yup thats me, congrats!

[slate matrix]

how would you like your name to appear on the sheet?

[steep bramble]

Rip Van Weikle is good 👍

thank you for the heads up on this server, looking forward to seeing how this game develops

[subtle ivy]

My first Artemis Build that deals around 2700 on a crit Omega Attack. I had no idea of the potential (especially with heart throb which I didn't even get.)

Does anyone els's Testements look like this? Now that I just finished 24 fear with the sister blades.

[oak perch]

my testaments are totally blank since i've done them all 🤷

[cold abyss]

ok I got 12 air except I actually got the air infusion boons

this is 51% dodge change (I have max messenger on too)

[harsh wind]

lvl +34 blitz, phased him with a single whirlwind

[subtle ivy]

imagine you had weed killer on top of that XD

[stiff pelican]

disgusting spin to win build

[velvet carbon]

goated build

[compact crater]

found a good combination for than axe speedruns (and in general): blitz attack, aphro dash, hestia cast, romantic spark, thermal dynamics. don't need any hammer rng to get dmg this way. just need to catch a decent erebus+tart layout to get sub9
https://ibb.co/JcRBRb8

[mild kindle]

shiny run (facetanked p2.2)

[empty kelp]

i love winning with likely suboptimal arcana what can i say

[mild kindle]

no lovers, no origination. what are you

[empty kelp]

chilling lol

feel like i never really try to get multiple curse effects so origination just doesnt feel worth even though it probably is

[mild kindle]

its 100% worth it. way more worth that whatyever youre doing

[empty kelp]

ya i had this build before the more recent patch cause it was 29 grasp and just have not cared to change it much

[empty stream]

man i love the axe

[rare nest]

SUPER SPECIAL, GO!!!!

As though I had Total Eclipse on my special

[south monolith]

Medea 50F of the day featuring losing all my DD's to Chronos P2.2 :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Also like the worst room luck of all time I literally did not get a single free room no Arachne no Nem no Arty no Fountains no Narc I even missed out on Oceanus Midboss like wtf 😭

[half basalt]

Pretty sure Medea would've approved of that type of suffering, so stand proud 🫂

[austere lava]

First 50f staff, 7th total, and I now have at least 1 50f on each weapon

[radiant coral]

panicked real hard at the end bc i ran out of time but finally got 40f underworld, shoutouts to frosty veneer

[waxen harness]

One of the most strange runs I had

[glossy sand]

First 32 fear Clear

[austere lava]

8th 50f

[graceful epoch]

now I won't have to play Medea ever again nice

[mild kindle]

1.0 release

[hardy panther]

I haven't even cleared with persephone yet and you're making me dread having to do it again

[visual grotto]

mel axe 50F

[modest warren]

Well, 16F up and down, check

[empty kelp]

oh boy do i love me some casts

[austere lava]

all staff aspects done at 50f!

[velvet carbon]

wait staff has aspects?

[austere lava]

real

[dawn lantern]

Finally managed 32 Fear on the Flames. I'd kinda like to do it for all weapons before the next patch but we'll see if that comes to pass

[compact crater]

man, so close to sub9 32f with than axe

[south monolith]

Medea 50F of the day
Super sloppy Chronos fight
@slate matrix

[slate matrix]

GOD DAMN IT MAN I JUST FINISHED

[slate matrix]

THERE IS NO WAY YOU POSTED THIS RIGHT AS I FINISHED THE MEDEA PORTION

[south monolith]

lmao

[empty kelp]

this was a wild wild build

it was on momus so strong start to finish
but strong attack, inflicts slip, slip is stronger, attack is faster, attack is doubled costing magick, using magick does damage, all strikes make lightnight, further chance to 2x

feels like i accidentally copied a rlly good build

[analog flint]

https://puu.sh/Kd2RY/8b4cc1e930.jpg

my basic attacks were doing so much damage, over 300 per attack (or 150+ if you exclude mirrored thrasher)

[visual grotto]

mel axe 50F

[random crow]

big

[astral flower]

~3:30 5:39 9:00 11:27 12:36

[compact crater]

very nice. with experimental hammer?

[astral flower]

yeah I was going to reset into oceanus but got wicked from experimental hammer

[compact crater]

i like staff attack gameplay but currently grinding than axe. dependence on hammer rng is too much for me

[proud night]

my first time killing time

[astral flower]

I just have a stream open on the side and i'm not even focused until a good start happens

[proud night]

I just noticed the most damaged suffered chart

[astral flower]

oh right i got crit by the vine in fields root stalker lol

[proud night]

using the twin torches more, theyre def my favorite weapon so far

i dont think i clicked the special attack once this run

[plush valve]

Finally beat both the surface and underworld on 32 fear to get the last statue! Very proud 🧡🧡

[pearl atlas]

Not a victory but a distance personal best on fresh file damageless: Made it to Tartarus chamber III before taking a hit from Tempus.

[eager pelican]

love my little ghost friend

[swift knoll]

@slate matrix its over thank god https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnmwMZvNYMI

only medea remaining

[south monolith]

Best aspect last

[swift knoll]

just for you medea guy

[slate matrix]

you were the FIRST person to clear with wave strike btw

[swift knoll]

it actually was really good ngl, especially in erebus

[mild kindle]

cg on first wave strike

[compact crater]

what is wave strike? sounds like some kind of poseidon boon

[slate matrix]

cuz im tracking this now lmfao

[slate matrix]

yeah its pos atk

[swift knoll]

oh it was the FIRST wave strike i thought you meant persephone LOL

[slate matrix]

nope first person to clear with wave strike period

[south monolith]

Poseidon is such a useless bum

[mild kindle]

poseidon goated wdym

[lone mortar]

Where the tranquil gain fans

[hardy panther]

MAKE IT 2 WAVE STRIKE NOW BC IM FREED FROM PERSEPHONE

[slate matrix]

lmfaooooooooooooo

adding it rn

[hardy panther]

What are the odds that we both got clears with the same aspect the same day with wave strike

[slate matrix]

no idea

[south monolith]

Medea 50F using Judgement

got it first try lmao

@slate matrix

[slate matrix]

💀

[wary coral]

Finally.

[plush jolt]

Not very impressive but my first time beating Chronos 🥳

[lethal flicker]

"Hold special to delete everything"

[visual grotto]

mel axe 50f

[sonic vapor]

this was SUCH a good run for me

mirrored thrasher and hearth gain is an insane combo post-patch 4

[visual grotto]

mel axe 50F

[lethal flicker]

Managed to pull Natural Selection on the very first miniboss, so things like this started happening

[dull raven]

Nervous Wreck & Island Getaway are both great options

[lethal flicker]

I went with wreck because duos are easier to proc than legendaries

because they can appear from two places

[dull raven]

Though w/ Glamor Gain it can be kinda anti-synergetic since you can only activate it once per enemy

And fair

[lethal flicker]

Eventually had the option to replace my only source of weak with Tidal ring, which I wish I'd actually done

Although, rapture ring still ticks once if you use Gyser spout and lightning lance, so it still poops out a bunch of curses

[empty kelp]

thanks for helping out zeus lol

[visual grotto]

mel axe 50F

[slate matrix]

lmfao we got it

[visual grotto]

yeah tbf i went for it because I knew it was missing

[slate matrix]

i expected that yeah

[visual grotto]

and you probably have the stat for that but am I the only one playing with toula on high fear?

[slate matrix]

i dont keep track of that but probably yeah

[visual grotto]

It seems weird to me when having one more dd is huge if you play with either antler or pin

[slate matrix]

frinos helps keep dds in erebus and deal with suffering in general + he can block hex making the fight faster

• other than u, boated, foolish, and die no one uses antler in tart

[visual grotto]

Yeah idk after playing with toula quite a bit I feel like having to dodge hex isn’t really a big deal for time when toula help me clear early Erebus quicker

But maybe it’s because I play axe and having toula deal with rebuke for me really help

[south monolith]

I did in the past but tbh the extra DD doesn't mean much to me at this point and Frinos lets me use less brainpower in Hecate so

[visual grotto]

Yeah I don’t use the extra dd often but like toula damage is kinda good early on I feel or maybe I just do to much try on abandon run so I’m biased

[south monolith]

I probably would use toula more if I wasn't just lazy about Polymorph tho

Frinos is a huge fraud and makes me die to hippo explosions and Cerb randomly

[south monolith]

Toula is Def's better on 51F+ where the extra damage is kinda needed.

[mild kindle]

I LOVE HIPPO AOE!

[austere lava]

It was hilarious seeing this message and then looking in feedback and seeing you talk about hipp aoe lol

[mild kindle]

stop bc i sent that feedback then checked this channel

[austere lava]

lol

fr though hippos have like 3 annoying mechanics and they just need to remove one and theyd be like tolerable

(running away, aoe on death, aoe attacks)

[mild kindle]

explosion aoe, homing, running away, aoe attacks

[austere lava]

homing too youre right

I think they should keep the on death attack cuz its kinda cool but either of the others should be changed/removed imo

[mild kindle]

on death can stay but pls make the encounter end and rev spawn when theyre killed not when they explode

[austere lava]

TRUE

Also storm ring stays locked on their exploding body instead of changing enemies 😭

[mild kindle]

yeah idk why tempus and hippos stay alive until they explode

[empty kelp]

neverending omega attacks (didnt know you could actually have multiple going at the same time)

[empty kelp]

most gold ive ever reached the final shop with

[south monolith]

Medea 50F of the day and a new PB with it
@slate matrix

[slate matrix]

lmfao you took 4th by 40th of a second

[south monolith]

fire

[cold abyss]

I got that 5 hammer build

[cold abyss]

it was just really satisfying

not only does the pan + other hammers do the classic pan stuff, the smolder ring and gale force let me apply origination with just a cast

[lethal flicker]

I wanted to use Charon for once, and the game happily obliged

[charred sparrow]

my first 24 heat clear!

[dull raven]

Nice!!! Pan supremacy

[grizzled slate]

https://youtu.be/Q8Lv8iY_1Eg

hi, i beat 55 fear today woo

[velvet carbon]

holy goat

[swift knoll]

NICE

[slate matrix]

boated the goated

[thorny birch]

insane skill

[dull raven]

Holy hell

[grizzled slate]

Thanks guys!

[mild kindle]

i finally did it after weeks

[hardy panther]

@slate matrix nobody can hang with me in the being slow department (I almost threw this run with the attack swap)

[slate matrix]

lmfaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo nice heph bro

[velvet carbon]

clang

[hardy panther]

I thought I could get another boon for martial art and I already took everything

it was hephy attack or fixed gain

[slate matrix]

mirrored wicked carried you frfr

[velvet carbon]

oh this run has poseidon

[gaunt prism]

I wish when you beat the surface it gave you a win screen (or I forgot if it did cause I won at 3am)

[hardy panther]

@slate matrix I am hard carried by mirrored wicked

[slate matrix]

i see that omega attack idc u goated in my book

[random crow]

the highest high roll ive ever achieved

[empty kelp]

it doesnt yet
presumably because there are more areas to be added in the surface
(i do agree it would be nice but currently u can take a pic of your boons after eris)

[random crow]

genuinely i dont think i was meant to roll all of these things together. i think it broke momus.

[empty kelp]

i am shocked at how low casts are there
i feel like they are always my highest damage

[random crow]

Chaos gave me 116% special damage. On top of Heroic Flutter Flourish, on top of Momus AND Exceptional Talent AND Dual moonshot.

ah, and i had rapid and mirrored thrasher, just to be safe.

[empty kelp]

ah ya the thrashers make sense for attack being way up there then

[cold abyss]

I got that free omega attack

[south monolith]

Medea 50F of the day and a Sub 13!!!
Kinda annoyed, accidentally had toula on and got sheeped LMAO
No Art and terrible tart rooms, could of been a sub 12 with art and not getting sheeped but oh well we take those
@slate matrix @grizzled slate

[slate matrix]

thats actually amazing timing i just woke up from a nap

[grizzled slate]

Good hammers today at least

[south monolith]

yeh it was nice actually having a Medea run that uses Possessed

but yeah like 8:43 Tart entry into 12:56 finish feels pretty bad
Just slow rooms

[cold abyss]

I got that 0 magick omega attack 3 magick omega special

don't need any magick regen

this also finishes all of my testamates, so that's pretty cool

[waxen harness]

Would of been a funny Hera's Bloodline build with that mana reduction lol

500 HP somehow

[cold abyss]

someone should try that some day lol

[waxen harness]

I have tried but unlucky with Chaos boons

[livid gale]

That's awesome, congrats on this run!

[south monolith]

one of the most scuffed runs of all time
@slate matrix

I got sheeped like an idiot, I got full salvo from Ex hammer in Oceanus which is a brick unless u hit bolstered which I proceeded to do in R1 of Oceanus

I then accidentally skipped miniboss in fields which nuked my timer and resulted in me losing full salvo near the end of the run which sucked for Chronos
wtf was this 😭

[slate matrix]

still gets a 13:03

mf is built differently

[compact crater]

compounding to than axe supremacy. not nearly as impressive as boated's run, of course, but still fastest ever 32f than clear and fastest non-charon this patch

[hardy panther]

@slate matrix I think I'm slowly working towards the crown of slowest 50F runner

I went for mirrored thrasher and failed

[slate matrix]

GGS!

[swift knoll]

@slate matrix Its wraps, all aspects 50f! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTHnmd4yDXk

[hardy panther]

gooooat behavior

[swift knoll]

[lethal flicker]

The holy thrasher trinity

[swift knoll]

than50 for funsies

[south monolith]

gg best aspect

[swift knoll]

it was actually so much fun ngl

[swift knoll]

winstreak

[velvet carbon]

what the hell

ggs

[steep bramble]

High fear enjoyers eating very good as of late 🔥

[half basalt]

Probably my favorite Skull build so far! Got Heroic Hitch on the Special from room one and got every Special-focused Hammer. The numbers speak for themselves

[half basalt]

MY SECOND SUB-11!! NEW PB FOLKS

Aphrodite not immediately blessing my attack wasn't much of an issue. Heroic Weed Killer really saved my skin

Plus Silver Streak from Artemis, Nimble Mind and Furious Whirlwind

The numbers paint the picture yet again

The freaking sprint ghosts actually ended up on top 5 from how little I did anything else but spam omega attack this is crazy

[empty kelp]

didnt even see zeus and blitz is 5th most damage lol

[half basalt]

Was it from Nervous Wreck? 😭

[empty kelp]

entirely yes

was very nice just casting then everything in the cast gets frozen hitch etc

[half basalt]

That's so awesome actually

[half basalt]

Finally got around trying Blitz on Torches' Special at Z's suggestion... honestly didn't feel too different from having it on Attack, but still went really hard

Fav part was when I equipped the Fan in Oceanus and hoped "well I hope I get Engagement Ring" and whooptidoo I get an epic one right before the Sirens

If only Echo duplicated a Hammer, then it'd be a perfect run
But outside of that it's everything I'd want in a Torches run

[mild kindle]

ran it back for a second 50f clear

[lethal flicker]

Anyone need any infusions?

[rocky rover]

finally did a 32 fear run :D tbh this was only my second attempt, first one didnt go so hot (ran out of time on chronos lol)

[swift knoll]

whole waste of elements jeez

[mild kindle]

Martial art wouldve been crazy

[swift knoll]

i turned it down for mint LOL it wouldve been insane i wish i did it instead

[sonic vapor]

i closed out of my victory screen on accident

but i don't think i've ended a round with this much health before

i had 11 of the water things and had the "get more health with how much you have of em" boon

[south monolith]

Medea 50F of the day

Goofy ahhh run @slate matrix

[slate matrix]

its crazy at how a 13:36 doesnt even make top10 all time

[prime frigate]

man, static shock + air quality with fast attacks is so fun. absolutely melted chronos (recording) in ~100s according to the timer

[smoky gulch]

my most fun build to date :))) I really lucked out with duos this run, though if I got slow cooker I'd've been way more cracked

[radiant coral]

50 FEAR HAS BEEN ACHIEVED

[south monolith]

@slate matrix funny

[swift knoll]

punch hard

[austere lava]

fun build

[waxen notch]

well too late

[limpid mauve]

FIRST WIN!!! this titan was mad strong

[waxen notch]

hippo

[velvet carbon]

patch 1 lmao

[hardy panther]

@slate matrix I am allergic to fast runs. unironically ya boy needs help

the leaderboard of slowest runs may just be filled with me in a week or two

[noble ivy]

Momus staff op literally cast my omegas then sit back as they spam to death

[slate matrix]

I once got a 21:30 staff clear you chilling

[hardy panther]

sounds like you're challenging me

[noble ivy]

i just had that 23min clear but i was afking in cerberus room while i ate lol

[hardy panther]

timer shouldn't be ticking though

[slate matrix]

this is in 50 fear where you start taking 5 dmg/s after you go past 20 min

[hardy panther]

if you've already cleared the encounter or haven't started it

[noble ivy]

no thanks ill stay happy in the low tier fear

[noble ivy]

oh rly?

[hardy panther]

if you've already beaten cerberus and just stayed there, the timer should have paused

[noble ivy]

maybe it did take me 23 min then lol

[slate matrix]

yeah IGT doesnt tick in shop rooms, npc encounters, and post guardian rooms

i still have no idea how foolish managed an 11:16 actually a god gamer

[noble ivy]

not on a high fear lvl but i got 11 min about on 2 runs. using skulls and greataz

I did like 300k dmg with the skull that run. i got lucky af

[half basalt]

King's Ransom went viciously hard on this

58k Static Shock dmg should be illegal

[half basalt]

Early 155% coin buff from Chaos

Lmao

This is AFTER emptying the final shop

[cold abyss]

this would make golden rule do 132% dmg buff I think

[gentle jacinth]

It's never enough

[cold abyss]

I got that cast spam build

I like how it says I took over thousand damage because I got hit by the stupid instakill move when I couldn't go into the circle because a stupid hour glass just happens to be in my way

[gaunt prism]

heres the first win im actually posting here

[south monolith]

@grizzled slate @slate matrix Medea 50F of the day kinda late but oh well

Bad run but I'm tired and eepy
Also was lost all my lovers P1 Chronos because I took both Arctic and Gale force and that timing is still wack af 😭

[grizzled slate]

So heroic of you

[frosty bridge]

MY FIRST TIME BEATING CHRONOS

[mild kindle]

Congrats!!!

[empty kelp]

managed to get down to only 3 enemies damage taken
this was genuinely an insane special build
all of that blitz in 5th damage is essentially also special

dual moonlight on momus is genuinely my favourite hammer

[hardy panther]

@slate matrix I finally got a sub 20 clear

I think I'm being swayed from boatman

[half basalt]

Scorch on Blades Special + Hook Knives was actually kinda cool

[empty kelp]

special focus momus part 2

[hardy panther]

I may be back on the origination train

also why do the accuracy of tempus' drop dramatically when I try to pop a pin

[dawn lantern]

Finally managed 32 with the axe, more lunar ray going on here than I expected

[fluid quest]

entirely too close

[half basalt]

Finally: a Hex build I actually like

[half basalt]

Okay WOW this Hex build is genuinely peak

[hardy panther]

I have fully converted to the church of heaven strike

[slate matrix]

istg please get 15/15 before you start getting a billion repeats (dont feel pressured to tho)

[hardy panther]

I'll do skulls eventually

I may also change my name to "the Witchs Staff Enjoyer"

or better yet... "the Mirrrored Thrasher Enjoyer"

[slate matrix]

join me

[hardy panther]

I’ve joined you

[slate matrix]

:) lfg

[hidden trail]

A fun Mel daggers run

[south monolith]

When will I finally get a friend who enjoys Medea

[dull raven]

Give me a guide to playing Medea and maybe I'll like it

For now though I'm the Pan & Momus fan

[half basalt]

You're built different bro...

Now whether that's a pos or neg, I'll leave that up to you, 'cause it's Medea

[empty kelp]

aspect of momus special focus part 3
strong enough to phase chronos before his first instakill even happens (at 0 fear)

i also had it so every fully charged special made 3 heartthrobs and the hestia boon that makes special shoot an explosive but cost 10 more
plus weak on cast with aphro legendary (i will say i havent tried to make these builds by getting a specific god pool im just rnging)

[nimble portal]

Breaking News: Concave Stone picked a good second boon

[hardy panther]

@slate matrix medea next

[slate matrix]

i believe

[south monolith]

Best aspect next

[hardy panther]

@south monolith grant me your blessing for the medea run

[slate matrix]

oh yeah do you want it as lower case or upper case ponch on the sheet

[hardy panther]

Ponch or ponch? lowercase looks better

I will have to do medea during the weekends bc I got classes tomorrow from 2pm to 10pm

[south monolith]

just do it rn imo imo

[hardy panther]

but I need to shower and sleep

[cold abyss]

perma stun build

[half basalt]

Natural Gas making it to top 5 is diabolical

[half basalt]

Level 9
Heroic
Still barely makes it to top 5
Bouldy.jpeg

[gentle jacinth]

Momus feels underrated

[timber wave]

heres boonless hades 2, stupid rng grind

lol time to redo because i forgot hades boons are boons 😭

[south monolith]

@slate matrix @grizzled slate Medea 50F of the Day

Good run if I got literally any of cacoons, fountains, chaos, nem, artemis or narcissus

My free rooms this run were just the guaranteed ones + arachne

[grizzled slate]

just hit the rng dummy

[hardy panther]

@slate matrix staff 50F of the day before I head to class. the universe wanted me to lose this run (by the universe I mean my dad walking in on me and repeating the same question 4x despite me answering causing me to lose all my lovers and shield in 2 seconds)

[empty stream]

16:57 new record for me

[slate matrix]

bro is getting faster my goat

[hardy panther]

I think I coulda got a 15 min clear if tartarus didn't give me back to back unarmored skull and bag rooms

and a temp + bag room

[slate matrix]

ew

[hardy panther]

first room was rat wizards + bags and thankfully last room was just hoplite and wretch thug

first room gave me hope I could go really fast

[subtle ivy]

on my way to 50 fear, getting used to max damage related fears.

[slate matrix]

I will wait with bated breath for your success

[dense cairn]

baby steps

[summer thorn]

FINALLY I beat 32 fear!

[compact crater]

i have no idea why i finished this run. i wanted to see steam and how much does it do with crit. but never saw it. poseidon is hilariously bad

[slate matrix]

what am i actually looking at

[velvet carbon]

wave strike being goated as usual

[slate matrix]

this is actually prob in my top3 fav clears of patch 4 so far

[compact crater]

hey, solo cast scorch doing more dmg than an epic attack is nice
with mobs constantly shoved away from your cast by the waves to boot

[slate matrix]

i was planning on making a top 10 fav clears list once patch 5 drops cuz why the hell not and i want to highlight some of the best and wackiest clears and my god this shot up to #1 instantly

[compact crater]

lol, thanks. i have it recorded unseeded. if you wanna video i can upload

[slate matrix]

sure that would be great

[steep bramble]

Wow if you got scalding vapor it would literally be cooked

[mild kindle]

I was gonna say theres no way this shouldve cleared but then i saw than axe

[compact crater]

sry for bad quality. had to erase the audio and didn't pay attention to video codec
https://youtu.be/BEg1awcXufc

[hardy panther]

banana peel is faster than me on poseidon thanatos than I am on normal builds

[eager pelican]

For real I’m tearing out my hair trying for Mel Skull 50 and other folks are at the meme build phase of 50 clears

[slate matrix]

i was grinding 50F during the era of foolish and mynt i know how you feel

im happy just sitting back now

i was grinding 50F blades back when they were the last weapon to not have a 50F clear on and Mynt just gets all 3 in like 2 days

[hardy panther]

The mel skull experience for me was 1) pull out my hair 2) get bolstered array 3) get to play the game and do well

[half basalt]

When are we getting Heph core build on 50F?

[south monolith]

I think someone had an attack one didnt they

[slate matrix]

i could see it working on eos unironically given good enough luck

[slate matrix]

yeah mf Mynt with MEL AXE in PATCH 2

[half basalt]

Nuh uh put that on Axe Attack for the ultimate showcase of masochism

[eager pelican]

Bolstered does not exist it’s a lie hammer

[south monolith]

Medea 50F of the featuring getting no skip rooms again
Also Poseidon room 2
Swapped special for hestia Chronos shop epic slow cooker value baby

[south monolith]

@grizzled slate @slate matrix

[slate matrix]

i have no idea how you so consistently so this

[half basalt]

Hearth Gain feels like a crime 💔

[south monolith]

simply game harder

[slim glen]

hhahhahahhahahhahahha this was amazing havent had this much fun in either game

[south monolith]

oh lol I did this run with night on oops

[slate matrix]

[grizzled slate]

Hestia special looks cool on Medea I give this one an 8/10

[cold abyss]

oh wow you actually managed to do it

did hades or chronos say anything special for it

[timber wave]

1. its not boonless since i took a hades boon
2. idr anything abt dialogue because i skipped past it (habit)

[cold abyss]

bummer

it would have been cool to finally have found out what the boonless run dialogue is, since hades 1 has it

[timber wave]

its free as long as rooms line up, anyone can do it

[south monolith]

pretty sure there isn't any dialogue for it (atleast yet)

[cold abyss]

bummer

[stable vortex]

my first completed 32 heat run 😄

[compact crater]

should be slow but not hard to do. just reset until you get a heroic attack and pom it to 2 sec. heph has a lot of dmg oriented duos linked to blasts

actually even epic might be enouhg cause it doesn't scale below 2 secs

[cold abyss]

I feel like heph special scales better since the blast deals 400 instead of 200

but I guess it is way harder to get it to 2 secs since it has longer timer by default

[south monolith]

ASPECT OF MEDEA on MAX FEAR BABY

[mild kindle]

I quit

[grizzled slate]

medea of the day has been upgraded to 55 fear

[mild kindle]

True foolish has to do 55f medea of the day now

[austere lava]

Huge congrats, thats insane

[velvet carbon]

how is this possible

[half basalt]

Holy cow 😭 It happened

Okay the way you abused the pin at the beginning of Oceanus was genius

[eager pelican]

Goodness. Nice job.

[tough gale]

Dawg

[ionic swan]

would've done it in 17:58.61 if that were me get gud

[half basalt]

Is that a bug around 10:20? The enemy dropped a Revenant, but the encounter was already finished

[south monolith]

yeah thats a thing for this patch
It's goofy

[half basalt]

Huh...

I dig this run so bad. It takes stuff that you won't look at twice in a casual run and makes a beast out of them

[ionic swan]

smh cheater

[south monolith]

😭

[compact crater]

ggs

[slate matrix]

disgusting clear

[slate matrix]

the absolute insanity that is Foolish

[compact crater]

just do medea 50f every day for a month and you get to clear 55, like a battle pass completion

[half basalt]

A non-Moros clear will come, surely

[lethal flicker]

The extreme example of how good scorch can be

[half basalt]

24F is done!! Was expecting a stressful run, but the RNG was viciously nice to me

• Any Gold I found was worth 70% more already before I got to Hecate thanks to Chaos n Hermes, so Destitution was basically nullified
• Got Mint and Echo gave me Trusty of all things
• Had a lotta Arrogance Primes, but Soul Tonics were dime-a-dozen

Oops wrong image

[grizzled escarp]

Very cool

[half basalt]

316% Moros Special dmg, anyone?

[hardy panther]

@slate matrix pure mirrored thrasher is sooooo ASS

[slate matrix]

lmfao

[grizzled escarp]

50 heat and 19 mins

[hardy panther]

you're not getting faster times from me than that. I'm the slowest 50F runner

[half basalt]

No-one's gonna look fast in the timeline where Foolish exists 💀

[hardy panther]

right but if we look at the other extreme, I reign supreme

foolish can't hang with me in the slow department

[grizzled escarp]

I just got the game so I'm just grinding for nightmares rn

[hardy panther]

best time to learn all the weapons and experiment with builds I think

[grizzled escarp]

Mainly using aspect of perseophone and aphrodites special

Gonna level up pan and moros later

[hardy panther]

try it with hera's special. it does less damage but it dramatically increases your ability to clear groups

[grizzled escarp]

I will then i like heras hitch ability

Apollo just seems pretty useless to me

[grizzled escarp]

Bro 11 mins is insane 😭

[hardy panther]

I am trying to chase the high that is dai's momus god hammer run but my experimental hammer luck is attrocious

giga moonburst is permenantly glued to my hammer (unless I'm actually doing a special build)

[grizzled escarp]

I couldn't even beat h1 on 32 heat I hope the game cooks me harder than that in h2

[dull raven]

Going back to H1 I definitely find it easier than H2

I’ve been getting consistently faster clears in 1 that would let me safely take the 7 minute timer, plus I feel like there’s more “free” heat than in 2

[mild kindle]

I found h2 to go way faster for me

Got faster times
Cleared 50f when i havent even cleared 32 heat

[slate matrix]

i havent even cleared 24H but beat 50F

[mild kindle]

Yeah i think the highest i went was 12 for em2 + fo2 + td3

[dull raven]

My heat in 1 is around 6ish currently, I’m fairly confident I can go up to 32

I know I can do 9 with fo2 & td2

Anything after that will just be testing my skill

[mild kindle]

I can prob do 32 heat but i really just dont play h1

[hardy panther]

only 2 away now

[grizzled escarp]

Let's go!

[hardy panther]

@slate matrix no hammers

I was not going for a no hammer run but at least the boon luck made up for it LOL

[slate matrix]

weaoh

[hardy panther]

that chronos fight was so sloppy all because of 1 mistake

he was in the middle of summoning the flags right before 1.4 and I consciously chose to keep attacking and stop him from doing that... which resulted in him summoning 2 bags while I was on the other end of the arena and they chewed my lover shield and armor

"oh I probably shouldn't have done that" was my immediate thought after

[mild kindle]

cerb is a free fight he was damageless

[slim glen]

oh i get the hype now.....

woulda been even better with charon

I died like so many times the only reason I won was bc I had enough damage. Which is why damage is king.

[random crow]

not a victory screen i know i just wanna show this bc wtf?? lmao

[gentle jacinth]

someone wanted you

[eager pelican]

Relatable Sirens numbers

[south monolith]

Sirens OP

[mild kindle]

they were the only problem the entire run

[slate matrix]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1249502882819215453/1276743751259258942/IMG_8905.jpg?ex=66caa3c7&is=66c95247&hm=c92ff9200a063af79df0d7fb46afd854d05845e80a71bc297bf89f753a6567a1&

[cold abyss]

lmao

they are tougher in higher heat I think

but then, what isn't?

[slate matrix]

sirens are unironically the hardest fight 51F+

[cold abyss]

i'm no where near that level yet lmao

[dawn lantern]

this was kinda my first run with the onion where i really felt it but origination still carried me

[south monolith]

WOW LOOK HOW INSANE AND COOL AND FAST THIS RUN IS I TOTALLY DIDNT MISS OUT ON AN INSANE PB BY MISCLICKING SPIRIT SURGE INSTEAD OF IONIC GAIN AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

@slate matrix @grizzled slate

[lethal flicker]

There's a fountain finder award?

[grizzled slate]

@slate matrix50F judgement run tame like I said, @south monolith orange tag bros 🙂

[empty zinc]

not much of a Revaal fan, but I think it's a decent run x3

[mild kindle]

Its 55f lite

[compact crater]

did you try not speedrunning the boon screen?

i'm so paranoid clicking the wrong thing my sub10 run videos take 30+ mins

[eager pelican]

This seems about how I felt when I clicked Uncanny Fortitude when I meant to hit Trusty Shield

[empty zinc]

might be my fav build as of rn, its rly fun :3

[compact crater]

hot damn, is that master conductor doing all that stack shock lifting? i might wanna jump on that

[austere lava]

Master conductor would be so fun and pretty good if it didnt destroy lovers shields

[compact crater]

that's messed up, lol. does it kill armor?

[austere lava]

no, just shields

I think its coded as a hit that doesnt deal damage or something weird? It doesnt proc revenge effects though

[compact crater]

well, lovers can be skipped then. heph is enough defence as is

[velvet carbon]

master conductor is crazy fun

[austere lava]

ngl it may be my favorite duo

[velvet carbon]

in terms of how much fun it is to use yeah

[compact crater]

ok ok mr salesman i'm taking it next run

[austere lava]

If supergiant fixes the lovers shields bug my life is theirs

[compact crater]

that's a low price for a life, can you at least ask for hammer rerolls to sweaten the pot?

[paper mist]

if you dont use lovers there is no bug, think about it

[velvet carbon]

REAL and TRUE

[half basalt]

Look man I currently put a price on my life if they do H2 merch with Fangamer our standards aren't that high

[marsh shoal]

My first victory finally!

[half basalt]

Got Cherished Heirloom right at Erebus, so I figured I try the Antler on Tartarus...... probably my fastest Tartarus split ever

[swift knoll]

ideal 51f+ than i think, shame it was on 50

[south monolith]

How many rolls used tho

[swift knoll]

only 4 of 6

(im still cooked with abandon)

[south monolith]

4 too many for 51F+ 😭

[swift knoll]

MAAAAAAAAN CMON

[south monolith]

Sick run tho ggs

[swift knoll]

preciate i wanna get 55 this patch but i probably dont have the time nor skills for it

[south monolith]

Nah skill wise Ur probs fine, 55F is just an RNG check at a certain point unfortunately

[swift knoll]

ive had a single cerb fight at 52 and one hecate win in 55 so far but i dont do many runs cause its kind of a pain

still debating between doing than bc thats what i like or sumn new for the books

[south monolith]

Getting flashbacks to super early in Patch 3 to when I threw a Charon run at Cerb cuz I took Trusty shield right before endshop while going "there will totally be a max magick in endshop"

[swift knoll]

i was actually just trash in the cerb fight and got hit for 125 or something absolutely insane with suffering

[south monolith]

Cerb can be hard when you have low damage

[swift knoll]

im just really bad in the fight for some reason

almost always burn through lovers and take a hit or two even at 50f

[south monolith]

Regardless I wish you luck if you do end up going for it

Oceanus is probably the hardest area in terms of actual gameplay so prepare for that, it's not a terrible idea to practise sirens a bit too, probably the biggest roadblock

[swift knoll]

we will see but appreciate the info great job on 55f medea

[grizzled slate]

if it wasnt for the rng 55 would actually be fun

relearning the bosses when they can just take your soul in 1 hit was so much fun

grinding attack boons is not

[south monolith]

You could do something goofy like reroll corner + random useless arcana to simulate 55F but with rolls

[grizzled slate]

yeah just take 6 rolls to get attack, dont use them after that, useless stuff to break judgement

i might do that for warmup/practice sometimes

[swift knoll]

are there weapons rn that are like definitive no goes at 55f rn? i was thinking like mel torch or pan but everything else is maybe doable?

[slate matrix]

pan persephone mel torches, everything else should be theoretically viable

tho maybe pan might work under the same premise as staff, just hit wicked and a decent atk boon asap and pray for good rng but pan doesnt have the range or aoe to make up for the lack of aspect so idk

[swift knoll]

mel axe or moros are probably the best non cleared weapons? maybe artemis if you have the skill to parry often?

[slate matrix]

among the non cleared, mel axe, mel skulls, moros, and charon are among the top possible contenders, tho charon and moros are harder without sorceress. I could see Artemis being up there as well

[swift knoll]

i think artemis is like a top 3-4 weapon with enough skill

[slate matrix]

Mel axe needs an early dashing heave with a good atk, Moros needs hearth gain with clean candle optimally, charon needs lucid gain, mel skulls needs bolstered with a good atk, and artemis needs wicked with a good atk as well

[swift knoll]

so scuffed LOL

55 in a nutshell lmfao

[slate matrix]

i could see it beating maybe thanatos and mel skulls for 4th, but mel axe imo is still stronger

[swift knoll]

probably true and getting to peak arty usage would be a lot of hours

[slate matrix]

now to take over moros and charon as 1 and 2 some aspects either need to get giga buffed or the 2 needs to get nerfed hard

this aint a debate about whats the strongest aspect, its whats 3rd lmfao

[swift knoll]

charon literally doesnt feel okay to use remotely

[south monolith]

I don't think Eos is doing it myself

[swift knoll]

eos lowkey goated idk

[slate matrix]

yeah probably not as it currently stands, too little damage without daybreaker and cost of taking gain is too high

[south monolith]

Also Charon is actually super hard to do 55 with

You will have to do the 6 second wait minigame with lucid gain until you get a max magick which is just timer death

Ofc if you get the required Erebus it will have the easiest run afterwards

[slate matrix]

but it is theoretically possible in its current form, and thats what i was going for in my answer

[south monolith]

Most aspects are "theoretically" possible but that's not saying much when RNG can swing so hard

[slate matrix]

right now I don’t think Persephone Eos Mel Torches and maybe Pan can clear even with god rng

also as much as I want to keep this convo going its 4 am and i need to sleep for tmr

[swift knoll]

goodbye my glorious goat mini

[compact crater]

imo thanatos is stronger than mel axe for any high fear, clear or speedrun

[grizzled slate]

Mel has a higher ceiling with dashing heave but Thanatos is much easier

[compact crater]

than has higher ceiling with exe chop and splitter

[grizzled slate]

Sure but that’s 2 hammers and a gain + keeping enough magic vs just 1 hammer

[compact crater]

i that's why it's ceiling. so mel axe is very good with one hammer but without hammers than is better and ceiling is also better

if we get hammer rerolls at some point mel axe might pull ahead for clearspeed

[south monolith]

Mel Axe tends to be better for clears since dashing heave is the only thing you need

[grizzled slate]

Yeah I should say realistic and consistent ceiling I guess

[south monolith]

So you can just like hit it R2 and coast for the rest of the run

[grizzled slate]

Easy and free reset ceiling even

[south monolith]

I think Mel Axe 55 is probs easier than Than but it's close

Than is easier to survive with but can't beat timer without multiple hammer hits while Mel Axe only need the one and doesn't even rlly need anything else ontop

[grizzled slate]

I’d play Mel axe but I’m bad with it and I don’t find dashing heave fun sadly

[grizzled slate]

Yeah this

[compact crater]

i havent played a lot of heave myself, might try it for 32f speedrun

[grizzled slate]

It having the Mel axe base power + double dash strike and an aoe is just absurd, you just have to burn your dash for all your damage

[compact crater]

burn as you mean don't use it as defensive source?

pairing it with zeus+aphro duo might be a lot of dmg

[grizzled slate]

Yeah you just always dash strike for damage so you never have your dash really

[compact crater]

you can time it at the end of the dash to have some of those iframes

actually a good exercise. too many times i've lost dd to premature dash strike trigger

[clever sequoia]

I finally beat him for the first time today. Felt goooood.

[runic plume]

guys I finally did it, first time I beat Cronos

[slate matrix]

damn 2 first time clears back to back Congrats both of you!

[prime frigate]

first 24F knives clear and it felt like RNG was fundamentally against me. turned it around with a nice blast on the special every 3s though (check out that damage total!)

[swift knoll]

still no hecate clears at 55f but 50f is pretty consistent now

[velvet carbon]

sub 9 on a casual mel torches run i achieved through sheer luck

this was like out of a 3:15 erebus lmao

[compact crater]

good stuff

[half basalt]

I figured I finally try Fury Rank II to try n get used to it... AND I INSTANTLY GOT MY FIRST EVER SUB-10

Epic Mint Condition my one true love

[mild kindle]

Fury makes enemies spawn and bosses phase faster so its the goat

[nimble nimbus]

FIRST 50!
@slate matrix

[velvet carbon]

holy goat, ggs

with pan of all aspects

actually using the aspect???

[nimble nimbus]

I just like it) Ye its a bit weak but I after I realized I could place cast while O special channeling It is the most fun aspect for me.

[velvet carbon]

oh yeah pan is super fun to play

it’s impressive that you made it work tho given how much setup it takes

[swift knoll]

FUNCTIONAL PAN? This is crazy, good job!

what an insane choice for a first 50f ur actually goated for that

[grizzled slate]

yeah functional pan is crazy, it being your first 50 is DISGUSTING, you took so many cool boons too well played

[eager pelican]

A rare Poseidon core 50 Fear victory! Nice!

[slate matrix]

functional pan as your first 50F is goated behavior ngl, CONGRATS!

I’ll put it up as soon as I can, would “llzergll” be fine?

[nimble nimbus]

yes)

[slate matrix]

gotcha, once again, congrats!

[sand stirrup]

Bumped Chronos to death

[slate matrix]

what are these 2 boons?

[nimble nimbus]

+30 mana by Narcissus and Hera's Blood line

[subtle ivy]

Congrats on the 50 fear clear, I'm hoping to join you soon.

[tawny reef]

clutching victory from the jaws of defeat

[mild kindle]

Insane genuinel insane

[lethal flicker]

Played with Fury 2 on for the first time and the game seemed to want me to win

[subtle ivy]

I almost never get legendary boons, 3 is crazy

[lethal flicker]

getting Natural Selection part way through Oceanus helped a lot

[austere lava]

Wait you were so close to getting one of the rarest titles but the game scammed you and gave you thick skinned instead

[lethal flicker]

wait what, lol

the legendaries didn't even play nice either

turns out exceptional talent just makes psychic whirlwind cost more

[austere lava]

it should make it last longer?

[lethal flicker]

it doesn't

[austere lava]

I swear it has for me in the past but maybe it was placebo

[lethal flicker]

normal whirlwind, sure

pretty sure psychic didn't

[austere lava]

i'm referring to psychic as well, but again, I very well could be incorrect

[lethal flicker]

Also King tide is great. But not if if your only splash boon is Tidal ring

then it's just kinda decentish

[cold abyss]

I got that lunar ray build (it sucks)

I tried so hard to keep using the hex, but my dps was so bad that I just had to resort to spamming main attack after I lost my dd

though this build might have been good if I got the hestia demeter duo boon

btw something you'll see very rarely on the dps meter: satyrcast

what is that?

btw a little bonus image

[astral flower]

bro got lost

[lone mortar]

oh toula

[cold abyss]

the secret toula miniboss

[velvet carbon]

its the damage your summoned satyrs do with their magic attack

zeus in the top 5 damage taken list is so real

[south monolith]

It's actually fake cuz only psychos take Zeus trial 😭

[compact crater]

yeah the god trials are hilariously unbalanced

[half basalt]

I put Hestia on Axe Special once unironically what type of psycho does that make me?

[slate matrix]

istg kings ransom simply does not exist

this is my 8th attempt going for kings ransom and it just does not want to appear

[half basalt]

Five Duos and a Legend is wild already... big oof tho

[slate matrix]

I have excellence divinity and queen all active, its my fun arcana setup so the duos arent that surprising to me but man where my kings ransom

[half basalt]

RNG be RNGing 🫂

The Fates did a little trolling, you could say

[empty stream]

Axe for the win

[ebon plume]

in perfect health

[lofty oriole]

Jesus christ I didn't think I'd actually win on this attempt 😱

I don't see myself beating 50 anytime soon tho 🤪

[south monolith]

You can do it!

[lofty oriole]

Revenants and the double hearts seem tricky to deal with 😭

I always run out of time 💀 💀

[grizzled slate]

pan no hook knives on 50F (i wish pan was actually good 😭 ) @south monolith time to do this with judgement @slate matrix youre washed

[slate matrix]

[lethal flicker]

Dancing Spiral Wave knives is still pretty good ngl

[lethal flicker]

dunno if it turns the room into a pinball table though. Knives causing waves in different directions

[slate matrix]

im so washed

[grizzled slate]

I just want you back to clearing 50s 😭

I miss u spreadsheet man

[slate matrix]

o7 ill run some attempts this week, life is just rough

[grizzled slate]

[kind torrent]

I put 16 fear with Charon as a joke and ended up getting it without exhausting any DD. I think this Chaos boon made a lot of difference! 😅 I am actually not sure why there are two as I clearly remember to only getting it once...🤔 maybe I won due to a glitch!😅

[meager sky]

this one was a lot of fun.

[lethal flicker]

Was one your embryo keepsake giving it to you?

[grizzled slate]

@slate matrix @south monolith 50 fear judgement blades weo

[kind torrent]

I think the last time I used the embryo was months ago. I am still levelling up the keepsakes so I am not using the fully levelled ones asides the tooth and hestia, so I don't think I got it. Moreover I am using the pin there and I think I have been through enough chambers that it cannot be a leftover from a previous use.

[subtle ivy]

I've never had time like this

[astral flower]

Sub 7 into fields is a nice time

[subtle ivy]

NOOOOOO. I just didn't have enough damage 😦

i messed up so hard on the life boon from hades

[compact crater]

slightly improved my pb at 32f. if not for awful tart rooms could've been sub 8:30

[half basalt]

Sub-9 on 32 is WILD GGs man

[warm slate]

ha i beat him with only one death defiance

[whole pond]

5th victory!

[burnt vessel]

1st victory yay

[subtle ivy]

LET'S FLIPING GOOOOO!!! First 50 fear clear with 18 min too!

[slate matrix]

good stuff, congrats!

"earl_bro" work? or do you want something else?

[subtle ivy]

EarlOfCrows is the tag, earl_bro is discord

[slate matrix]

imma put "EarlOfCrows" in the sheet then

[subtle ivy]

I was hoping i'd make it on before the first major update

[slate matrix]

and you did so congrats!

[spare steeple]

I was told on reddit this is where we go with our bragging rights, so I just wanted to share my achievement!

[left mirage]

Sop-Spindle was giving bro the works

[spare steeple]

Bane of my existence

[slate matrix]

I just saw, congrats!

I’m assuming you started with Hestia cast but got unlucky and rolled anvil ring last shop?

[spare steeple]

Thats exactly what happened hahahah I didn't think it through, but luckily I had a lot more curses for origination

[slate matrix]

@spare steeple how would you like your name on the sheet?

[spare steeple]

just fic, thanks

[slate matrix]

gotcha, congrats again!

[subtle ivy]

Hephaestus shield and mint condition is crazy. Your so tanky at that point. Both epic too XD

[tough gale]

this weapon is dumb

ig that's 50

[slate matrix]

o lmfao congrats?

[tough gale]

first try with moros lmfao

[slate matrix]

xdddddddddddddddddddd

is this your first?

[tough gale]

yeah

[slate matrix]

"SomeNoobDying" is fine or do you want some other name

[tough gale]

it works

[cold abyss]

imagine my dissapointment when I found out this does not work

I could have had 9 throbs per cast for free

this game went from a 10/10 to -10/10 for sure

https://tenor.com/view/zane-ninjago-lego-ninjago-death-fail-gif-22975365

[tough gale]

anvil cast is a fraud sadly

[steep bramble]

@slate matrix second 50 😊 slow af but after so many attempts im so happy to get another done. 2/15, probs mel axe next 👍

[slate matrix]

aye congrats!

[steep bramble]

thank you 🫡 thought after charon i was gonna hit a wall but then the stars finally aligned. revenants make me cry. gg gl to everyone's upcoming runs

[fringe zephyr]

Not really a "victory" in the way it was intended for this channel but I wanted to boast so:
I have almost finished everything I can rn. All I have left is upgrading 9 keepsakes, 5 aspects (with 1 already level 4), 6 more proficiencies (with 4 of them only needing 1 more thing to complete), unlock the 2 remaining Skelly statues I need, and I need to beat 6 more testaments (one each for Blades and Flames and 4 for Skull). Other than that I have pretty much maxed out everything else

[lethal flicker]

Anvil is not a blast, seismic hammer is

Also heartbreaker doesn't affect the damage of love handles

But sunny disposition does work with love handles

[south monolith]

@slate matrix @grizzled slate we are so back

[grizzled slate]

my goat

[left mirage]

Bro was getting messed up by numbskull

[velvet carbon]

because they suck

[eager pelican]

Bawlder and Numbskulls are relatable Medea damage

[subtle ivy]

Imagine the primed magik if he had the boom prime fear activated XD

[languid dirge]

Momus (in my opinion) is really easy to make OP (though I could be wrong because I don't really follow the meta)

I'm also biased because Momus is my favorite weapon

[subtle ivy]

Momus seems like it has potential, but seems hard to pull off because you need to have several boons for different omega attacks.

[astral flower]

what does this mean

[dull raven]

If you have Hitch Momus does great

[hardy panther]

I think they mean having a boon for your attack, special, and cast so you can alternate between all the omegas

[dawn lantern]

Nothing earth-shattering but probably my best underworld time. My current goal is to stop worrying and love the 5-minute timer

[subtle ivy]

Having the 5 min timer on 20 fear is an alpha move

[velvet carbon]

having the 5 min timer on 20 fear is an “i don’t want to deal with any of the vows that actually impact my gameplay” move

[dawn lantern]

it is far less painful except when it kills me in Erebus and is more painful

[gentle jacinth]

I bet it's so painful... it could kill you

[velvet carbon]

the thing about desperation is once you have enough experience with the game your runs end up sub-20 anyway so its just free fear unless paired with stuff like rebuke or commotion

[dawn lantern]

ATM my git gud level is moderate enough that it's only OK on certain weapons, I'm boiling myself up to it on my best girl artemis, could probably manage it on the torches

but it eats so much Fear and doesn't make me take the unfun stuff that I'm a believer

[velvet carbon]

6 fear for having to slightly worry about time is a bargain

[dawn lantern]

the only thing I miss is being able to take troves, it's so worth it

[velvet carbon]

troves aren’t real anyways

[undone sonnet]

Got 2 heroic and Pan-Poseidon is OP

[nimble nimbus]

Second 50 fear! with Eos
@slate matrix
https://youtu.be/1PVFnL3gai0

[slate matrix]

aye congrats! planning on getting more?

[nimble nimbus]

Certainly)

[slate matrix]

lfg

we need more people doing 50s

[south monolith]

That's fire
Except I will maintain my Eos hating agenda

[left mirage]

This genuinely might be the fastest my heart has ever beaten

I started fumbling like crazy in the 2nd phase

[noble ginkgo]

"Oh, I've got this." And then you start throwing like your name is Roger Clemens.

[random stirrup]

woah

[hardy panther]

coldshade find this man'

[left mirage]

It started when I accidentally stepped in the instakill

[hardy panther]

got the god hammers but no hestia gain and then silver wheel ran out on me during chronos (feels refreshing to finally sit down, relax, and do a staff run)

[south monolith]

Chinese fisherman build

[hardy panther]

I am neither of those things but hell yeah

[south monolith]

simply the name of the hammer exodia
if you know you know

[hardy panther]

oh I know.. but I am slow unlike dai and not even exodia can make me quicker

[hardy panther]

who needs skill when you have white antler with storm ring

[reef dirge]

didnt get a screenshot of the victory screen but i finally did it

my first sub 10 in both hades games after 300 hours in the first one and 100 hours in this one

[hardy panther]

THE KING OF SLOW DOES IT AGAIN. ANOTHER 20:47 RUN

[sudden wagon]

My first 32 fear, everything went wrong and I didn't get anything that I wanted but a win is a win

[south monolith]

"boonless" 32 Fear Medea

Got forced into 2 boons but easy shot did nothing and I never picked up ionic so

[swift knoll]

cheeky lil 50f zorephet, probably a pb for time

[south monolith]

Medea 50F of the day featuring a new PB
Closing in on that sub 12
@grizzled slate @slate matrix

[grizzled slate]

you cant sub 12 you r bad

[south monolith]

bro can't even sub 13 😭

[grizzled slate]

i am worse

[lethal flicker]

Guess I'll have some nice boons now kthx

[austere lava]

Combined with natural selection thats kinda wild lol

so much boon rarity

[lethal flicker]

natural selection in oceanus is kinda a free win

but this was a clowning around run anyway so eh...

[random stirrup]

thats why I always use the boon reroll arcana (i'm stuck at 20 heat)

[velvet carbon]

i think everyone always uses the boon reroll arcana and they just ran out of em

[lethal flicker]

Definitely feels like a better use of grasp than some arcana

[lethal flicker]

Martial art is also in there too, just can't select it

Basically, use Burnt offering to remove elementary particles, and you can get it again to get all 8 elemental infusions

[velvet carbon]

no tall order, run invalid /j

[lethal flicker]

air quality was also inactive, obvs

I took a dumb chaos gate too close to chronos just in case I could swipe me a creation boon

I wonder if there's anything else worth doing that with...

I know using burnt offering in the final shop makes sense for a lot of boons (Double up, ocean's bounty, plentiful forage etc...)

but to get it again later? Hrm. Maybe this is why king and queen's ransom aren't selectable for burnt offering

[hardy panther]

nothing gets the dopamine going like tall order going online

[velvet carbon]

me when i get 8 boons to get the effect of the arcana card that costs 2 grasp unupgraded

[hardy panther]

all I want is to get air quality at least once

I slap on white antler and melt

then finish with 19:48 as my time

[lethal flicker]

You may end up getting it with a setup that doesn't benefit at all

the problem with air quality is that you can just end up blowing through its relevance with raw power
