Missing Dionysus and Super Nova but I think I did great. Maybe I should have used Hestia instead of Zeus because idk if his duo with Apollo actually triggers

First 62 fear win probably the longest one too (?) . I died to the timer a bit too many times than I’d care to admit, but yay 😄

born gained all my magic away right before typhon's last phase so i had to survive that for like a full minute and kill him with nothing but lvl3 rare hera atttack. if the fight went on for one more frame i think i would have died lmao

Bad run

ancient marlin
#

I know Foolish did it but it seems pretty crazy

vague pine
#

To my knowledge, there’s 2 67 clears (a seeded/modded Trick Knives Pan run not shown, and Foolish’s Medea clear). There have been a lot of 62s, and a few runs done at 63-65, but the last 2 gear difference I think has been only done twice.

#

He literally managed to beat it with 0.01s left

#

Actually insane behaviour

winged sigil
#

he had like 0.9 seconds left why do people think that

#

the last tick of damage hit him at 20:29.80

can i see the full vow setup

#

but yeah void is horrible

#

revange too

winged sigil
#

do you happen to have recorded the run? cause it'd be the current fear record on aspect of artemis 👀

pastel agate
#

wtf

#

bruh

#

how that can be the record ? Artemis is that bad ?

winged sigil
#

no it's just that no one is really grinding it right now

pastel agate
#

poseidon atacks + artemis is just broken, and parry is insane

vague pine
#

Hmm… what do the crits apply to with Artemis?

winged sigil
vague pine
#

Also, yeah. Next to nobody runs Artemis at higher fears, and next to nobody runs Void at high fears outside of 67

vague pine
#

Because what I believe are the waves are nearly equal to the attack damage (a difference of about 30,000)

eager pelican
#

They don’t, no

pastel agate
#

you can't crit with waves but artemis tp atack an op dodge and parry

#

just immortality if used correctly

#

poseidon just used to destroy lifebars

vague pine
#

Yeah. I’ve been meaning to push Blades higher, but I haven’t gotten around to it. In terms of “records” unseeded, Medea is at 67, Eos and I think Nyx are at 65, most aspects are at 62, but a few haven’t gotten a 62 clear recorded for Crossroads.

#

I think the list was like… Artemis Blades, Mel Blades, Axe, and maybe Skull, and a few others.

#

(62 in this case is all but Void, and 65 is all but Void 4)

pastel agate
#

@winged sigil world records are somewhere or just you think I have it ?

vague pine
#

It is a documentation place of high fears runs from I believe 32 and up.

pastel agate
#

Ok

vague pine
#

Every single aspect has at-least one run at the time of Patch 11, and all aspects have had a run clear 50 at some point, but some haven’t been pushed to 62

pastel agate
#

and it's only counted if we have recorded the run ?

vague pine
#

I think so, yes

pastel agate
#

ok

vague pine
#

The whole idea is that you submit your Fear, Arcana, Aspect, Familiar, and Video of the clear.

pastel agate
#

I'm going to try to do it again by recording

vague pine
#

Then people can watch your run to improve

It could be one of their first runs though.

#

not everyone has the time to invest into like high fear so it's not really fun to discredit low fear runs as "not op" or whatever

waxen forum
#

if i was running mirrored thrasher i would go with power surge/static shock and hestias gain, idk if lucid gain can keep up with mirrored thrashers attack spend

#

also dont poseidon waves have an internal cd now?

how much attack power is too much attack power

# pastel agate Finally

Nice run! Since your entry is leading a category, could you record a gameplay for Artemis at a similar or slightly lower fear level?

pastel agate
#

But I need too many luck to pass the first area and I die later when I get to last area or second

#

Because of timer 😢

craggy stratus

Time0 at 51 or Void0 at 52.

posting my first victory screen here to show off my easy 16 fear strat: flying at chronos with 6 molotov cocktails at once

#

I've never been so upset by a victory. After at least a hundred attempts to trying beat Underworld 62F with Supay, Eos and then Mel Flames, I switched to Medea for 1 run out of frustration, just wanting a quick break. And then suddenly I win on the 1st try. 😐 And it wasn't even close. 😑

This is how my first Underworld 62F clear is forever tainted.

https://youtu.be/VTmyEME9mg0 (skip 1st min if you don't wanna see me flop with Torches)

After at least a 100 failed attempts on Eos or Mel Flames, I decided to switch to Medea one time out of frustration . . . and suddenly I win on my first attempt. This game is the ultimate ragebaiter.

fun 32f build with max heinous affront sheningans. anubis ares attack with heinous affront with heroic light smite and divine vengeance and soulfilled ankh just nuked rooms from orbit. very lacking bossing when compared tho.

#

whats with the double boon icons

snow quiver
#

oh no idea just noticed it maybe had too many boons?

winged sigil
#

fun fact: the game can't process more than 2 screens for boons and offering so if you mod your game to get a ton of stuff and pass 70, the game crashes when trying to generate your victory screen

snow quiver
winged sigil
#

so no

#

hippo did it by making every single room in ephyra, including the side rooms, contain a boon

reef cobalt
#

like 1 full line short

#

so 7 things?

#

requires you to fully max out selene boon, after rnging the path with most starts(1/4 i think)

#

then artificer boons

#

and buy stuff from hermes shops naturalling them often

#

its probably possible

#

If they add in a pool of purging equivalent to surface its might actually be probable even, with hera buy sell shenanigans

wild adder
#

Getting a Heroic Sea Star with the phial early on can get you so much stat. Poseidon + Aphrodite + Hephestus is such a strong defensive combo.

Also kinda unpopular opinion - i like nyx's coat more than selene

blissful tundra
lethal furnace
reef cobalt
#

then it would override the major rewards in thess + olympus

#

honestly maybe this 3rd boon page issue is why summit has almost no rewards

#

lmao

lethal furnace
#

I still keep old builds of the games, I might try it out for fun.

reef cobalt
#

you'd still need to highroll a lot of hermes shop mystery boons + get enough side rooms to artificer minor resources in ephyra

#

cause if you do natural selection your removing the minor resources to artificer

#

which means you're probably net neutral MAYBE positive by 1-2 boons

#

mostly the hermes shop rng though cause you need to get a lot of path of stars + mystery boons + somehow have the gold to buy these things without coin reward rooms since natural selection deleted them

#

self solving problem since natural selection nukes the gold

#

highroll medea +40 gold per room and hermes quick buck i guess?

lethal furnace
reef cobalt
#

heracles in one of those rooms too

#

just for the gold cause you need the early gold to buy out the hermes shops from the side rooms that you highroll spawned

#

theres also the funny tech of getting circe to upgrade artificer for another 4 charges

#

though dunno how you're gonna use them

lethal furnace
#

Cannot use them since no minor rewards at this point.

Let’s move this to discussion since we are in victory channel

I do not

#

I've had extreme chances in the past and it was anything but due to the additive nature

yeah, and you can see him taking damage

so clearly 103% dodge rate isn't true

I'm looking at the actual combatlogic

what vid are we talking about having him take damage with 100%

#

the one above?

lethal flicker
reef cobalt
#

looking at the first time i see him take damage vs tail he got hit by the add which wasn't scorched so no hot pot

#

2nd time its the add

#

yeah every hit that fight is the land dracons

lethal flicker
#

Daze is separate right? Is that what I'm getting thrown by?

reef cobalt
#

daze is different yeah

lethal flicker
#

Probably it

#

Seems insane to be additive tbh

gilded ravine
#

yea daze is a separate check

reef cobalt
#

56.25+30+9
95% dodge before scorch doubling

random glade
lethal flicker
#

the actual game scripts

reef cobalt
#

tail in the typhon fight is actually a complete unique add and isn't typhon

#

you used to be able to kill it patch 1 of unseen with hestia godsent

#

until they made it immune

#

same with the hand that slams + fires a ball

random glade
reef cobalt
#

since you can't scorch them can never double the chances =5% to get hit

lethal flicker
reef cobalt
#

and yeah im positive dodge is additive, it might have a cap of some sort which is different, just like how god mode is capped but im also near positive it doesn't

#

daze is 20% after the dodge misses

#

cause you have to get hit for daze logic to occur

#

daze is take 0 on hit, not avoid hit

lethal flicker
#

That's another case of weird hyperbolics

reef cobalt
#

dodge avoids the hit

#

not really?

lethal flicker
#

well, adding 1% dodge chance when you have none is 1% less damage

reef cobalt
#

Daze says chance for enemy hit to deal 0. If you are never hit how is it going to have a chance to deal 0

lethal flicker
#

adding 1% chance when you're at 90% is essentially 10% less damage from then

reef cobalt
#

that just seems like you bending the logic to make it work when its not whats happening

#

Dodge says don't get hit. Logic never runs for being hit = daze never occurs

lethal flicker
#

I wasn't talking at all about daze

reef cobalt
#

o

lethal flicker
#

just about additive dodge

#

how each % added is more powerful than the last

#

literal hyperbolic mathematics

reef cobalt
#

i don't really see the issue though, cause its really hard to get that high of a dodge without insane RNG

#

like even with gale here he would've have 99% dodge and still theoretically take damage.

lethal flicker
#

where your "effective" health is Health/(1-Dodge) which gets silly

south monolith
#

I can pretty much guarantee dodge is additive and also not capped

#

Someone did a run where they got 100% dodge chance and then afkd and let Raki solo Typhon a while ago

Also Supay with Hestia/Zeus is imho one of the strongest and the easiest way to get 32/vor 4 clear - no need anything, no mana/omega reliant/, a lot very powerful duo and you basically can put antyhing and it's still work.

just finished the first run with discordant bell, chose up path and got railed by typhon a few attacks before killing him, its crazy 😭

zinc oracle
#

I had a Typhon fight that ended in similar tragedy 😭 what feels somehow even worse for me is when you don't play your life on the way up, even though you know the run is dead and you're not killing Typhon, so you die to Twins or some crap like that and your Evil Eye is screwed until you throw another run at Typhon 😭 that's on my list of things to do before launch lol

#

just make it up to Typhon and then go brew a cup of tea while he kills me so I'm ready to push Olympus 24 Fear with Rivals on LOLLLL

fringe rivet
#

typed a whole ahh paragraph and im not supposed to swear, thats on me i guess

#

anyway thanks on the evil eye idea i totally forgot about that keepsake

zinc oracle
#

I slept on Evil Eye for, no joke, 115 or so runs lol

slender sun
#

my evil eye is also on typhon rn

fringe rivet
#

slept on most helpful things my whole save file 😭

zinc oracle
#

But then like, 98 or so of those runs were before Typhon existed and I oneshot Prometheus when he came out so I was kinda like "lol why does this exist"

it turns out

the 65k health monstrosity is why it exists

fringe rivet
#

65k?????????

#

daaaamn thats crazy

zinc oracle
#

That number is a slight butt pull but I think I saw that on the wiki? That might be Rivals health

#

I remember going "BRO WTF THATS MORE HEALTH THAN EM4 HADES" at the time

#

Lol, no I remembered right, 65k is the correct number for non-Rivals

fringe rivet
#

didnt get the rivals yet on that stage, cant wait, number still sounds crazy af

#

god i gotta play a lot of this masterpiece, cant wait to get done w the errands so i can rest my sould and run full fear runs

zinc oracle
#

I'm not in the spoiling business but Rivals Typhon made me go "WHAT!!! WHAT???! WHAT!!!!" multiple times LOL

#

You'll enjoy the heck out of it

fringe rivet
#

sounds like such good gontent 😩

zinc oracle
#

and I'm no slouch; Scylla and Typhon were the only Rivals bosses I didn't oneshot. like. ish is absolutely crazy*

fringe rivet
#

scylla rival fight was sooooo good now that you mentioned it

zinc oracle
#

I made this and posted it to Reddit almost a year ago so you can imagine how I felt upon loading into Rivals Scylla

fringe rivet
#

goddamn here talking about oneshots, my bad for typing into your chat

zinc oracle
#

this was pre-nerf when Chary took two DD's off me each time, minimum

fringe rivet
#

hell nah hes been nerfed? crazy

I'm a day 1 EA player lol it's been an amazing ride

#

i just thought id wait for release but god could i be patient

zinc oracle
#

"hell yeah new Hades 2 update lemme play it!" (puts in thirty hours) (sets it aside)

rinse and repeat for 2 years until release date is announced at which point hype reaches critical mass

fringe rivet
#

shouldve went for it earlier

#

but still really thankful i did get the ea

zinc oracle
#

BACK in MY DAY there was JUST the UNDERWORLD and POLYPHEMUS and ERIS. And WE WERE GRATEFUL

fringe rivet

eris does feel like a final boss sometimes ngl

@zinc oracle about over-grasping... #h2-discussion message

I used circe's keepsake and unlocked judgement right after polyphemus boss, drew an unused arcana card from circe in thessaly, then over the course of the run unlocked everything else hahaha

#

it was very silly

I really like this machine gun build man

fastest 32 fear underworld yet, took stalwart for safety cuz scars 3

also accidentally sold an epic vital signs shadegrief

holy fast. GG

im too lazy to submit it to the speedrun leaderboards, ill do another run when 1.0 releases

ionic magnet
#

Love it when all of the arcana come together. Also one of my favourite builds I've gotten

rare parcel
#

Ohhhhhh, that one was fun

compact monolith
#

No screenshot for it but man I just had some INSANE luck in the underworld victory. One of the last tasks I had left was getting all of Chaos’ boons and I just COULD NOT get it to show up no matter how many runs I had found him with infusions.

But I had his trinket, and I beat cronos, and his trinket changed one final time into the one I needed!! So after 100+ nights I finally got it.

last run before 1.0 for me

pliant tiger
#

first max vow of void win, still kept arachnes dress, second pic is proof

pliant tiger
#

all my usual vows with no rivals, had the JUICIEST kings ransom setup ready yet the damn game didnt give me jack

solar seal
#

my last chronos fight before 1.0! did a little nergal funrun, first time i managed to successfully do his instakill skip in phase 2. slightly messy fight but ya know, you cant win em all

wanton pelican
#

new fear pb. i'm not getting tired of supay + static shock + air quality, very head empty, very fun, and definitely enough damage, no omegas necessary tbh (therefore no mouse necessary with the supay auto attacks). rare nitro boost was huge sustain since i took vows for -50% healing. I got offered romantic spark twice but took epic spiritual affirmation and +24% dodge chance wispy wiles for defense. im probably underestimating how much more damage/faster typhon phasing/"best defense is good offense" RS might have been but a win is a win

rare parcel
wanton pelican
#

yeah the base damage on supay is toothpicks AQ is a giant multiplier

#

also got two of my favorite hammers on supay/torches in general, hidden helix +1 special projectile and dividing blaze. lotta projectiles hitting for the AQ 50

pliant tiger
#

wait did u use vow of forfeit cuz that feels bad with supay

wanton pelican
#

forfeit is onion right?

pliant tiger
#

yes

wanton pelican
#

yeah i did, i rerolled door to location 2 and got my actual zeus boon first try

pliant tiger
#

lucky

wanton pelican
#

i left ephyra with 45 sec to go, had 2ish mins after eris, and prob the same after prom

#

i'm willing to spend hella rerolls to get zeus asap bc yeah supay needs the boons fast or else timer is sus

pliant tiger
#

can confirm, i had like a minute spent on a single ephyra room cuz supay damage without boons feels like ass

wanton pelican
#

with keepsake it shouldn't be too hard to get it on location 2, since im pretty sure that door can only be gods (hermes included) and hammer with vow of forfeit

pliant tiger
#

poms can be on door 2

wanton pelican
#

pom can also be there but youd need a boon, which forfeit takes

pliant tiger
#

yeah

wanton pelican
#

but yeah i just got blitz static shock aq, took aphro keepsake in thessaly for more air elements, spiritual affirmation and wiles fishing then spent all brain power in locations on dodging/shooting my freeze cast

pliant tiger
#

yk what when i roll credits on hades 2 ill go try 50 fear supay surface again

#

highest was like 48 no forfeit

wanton pelican
#

if you have good micro (which i absolutely dont im a freeze cast merchant lmaoo) then yeah static shock aq feels like enough damage to solve forfeit, if u can land scorch/poseidon waves on attack thats nice to have. i don't really like using denial since there's so many good zeus boons

pliant tiger
# pliant tiger highest was like 48 no forfeit

for that run i did poseidon sprint with thermal d, i remember rarifying an arc flash to heroic just for that to be useless since 1. i primed out of magick and 2. no magick regen lmao

wanton pelican
#

ah interesting

#

i was eligible for Thermal D and got scammed :((, but yeah the non omega auto projectiles put out pretty great damage on their own (once supported/AQ) and are way safer since no charge necessary.

pliant tiger
#

true

wanton pelican
#

aphro magick regen was great for the weak effect

pliant tiger
pliant tiger
wanton pelican
#

holy rush damage

pliant tiger
#

the strat was hera will remove wards and give ripoff aoe while breaker rush will be the main damage dealer and blitz was just more damage

#

hera makes wards go bye bye its so good

wanton pelican
#

yeah either her or static shock for wards feels great

#

with static shock specifically i could feel my entire run get 50% faster it was crazy

#

id have liked hera for kings ransom purposes on my run

pliant tiger
wanton pelican
#

good luck once you do it!

pliant tiger

First Vow of Rivals final tier victory at surface!

First time playing since before Warsong, decided to go for a spin before 1.0 tomorrow and beat the Father of All Monsters at least once in Early Access.

I love success rate on ares builds

I think the devs or mods need to come in here and boast about the reviews they’re getting today. Bravo to the studio and happy launch tomorrow!

Most fun run I think I ever had and my record run too I think

One last hurrah(presumably )for busted Storm Ring

I really didn't like this run, the game gives me every single curse that makes the game slower, and then a 7 minute timer

Finally got a 62 fear clear with circe thanks to last shop king ransom lol

32F everything before early access 🙏

I only started trying for speed a few days before 1.0 because my timing is awful, but here is my fastest Night 1 clear of Early Access. I had 4 Duos, none of which was Beach Ball, but I did have +40% Hearty Appetite!

#

That was some modifiers alright (Thanks, Vow of Hubris, I like not having magicka in early with momus)

First time ^^

pliant tiger
#

my last ea runs with an ass surface speedrun (accidentally left vow of shadow on) and a decent mel blades tk thermal d build

signal saddle
wanton pelican
#

/would like poseidon attack static shock air quality + blitz specials be enough? Maybe get Hestia for steam/thermal d

pliant tiger
#

high fear hel runs from what ive seen use hestia attack zeus spesh for thermal d

#

so yeah thermal d is the strat

#

if artemis appears get support fire for the memes alone

#

static shock and aq are amazing as well

lofty oriole
#

I found my old Hel run. It was a pretty basic build tbh so I was surprised it managed to win 😅

#

No duos and just brute forcing with Poseidon

wanton pelican
#

Damn well done, gramps got mogged not even on the damage board

lofty oriole
#

Yeah I had Timer 2 since I was getting used to Hel at that point. So I just took my time with grandpa

wanton pelican
#

Im just tryna clear 32 surface fear, did u even use much of the o special ?

lofty oriole
#

Not really tbh

wanton pelican
#

I figure

lofty oriole
#

There's some fun builds where you can Omega special and immediately activate your Hex like Wolf Howl

wanton pelican
#

Yeah that seems neat, but the actual valkyrie mode from the aspect doesnt seem like a very powerful gimmick

lofty oriole
#

Oh I found my old 32F Surface

lofty oriole
#

Though I don't really like Ares that much these days tbh 😅

pliant tiger
#

tbh only reason i take ares now is for speedruns for heinous affront

lofty oriole
#

^this

wanton pelican
#

Im actually so sad they took away mortal gain

lofty oriole
#

Setup can be a bit annoying

#

Zeus + Ares and Apollo 😭

wanton pelican
#

Such a cool boon, they could have done a percent or something for the prime

lofty oriole
#

Yeah legit. I don't even get excited about seeing Ares in my pool anymore 😭

wanton pelican
#

Ares at warsong was pure neuron activation

#

Now he needs so much setup

pliant tiger
#

i started hades 2 at unseen, what was he like back then?

lofty oriole
#

Iirc there was no cap to the Plasma for both attack speed and for movement, so you could get insane dps against bosses with Sanguinary savor

#

Now it's at just 100%

#

I never really liked his duos other than Heinous anyways so idk if anything changed there

pliant tiger
#

oh they did ares so dirty

wanton pelican
#

Grievous blow had bigger chances, snuffed candle used to be his, and his regen was basically born gain but with 15 hp at a time

lofty oriole
#

Just had a decent Supay run whilst trying to keep the Crimson dress intact. Shame about the 4 damage 😭

wanton pelican
#

V cool run

pliant tiger
#

no thermal d is very sad tho

#

oh wait mb i see it im just blind

wanton pelican
#

Imma try sending a hel run before 1.0, its my only 32f clear remaining for the surface

lofty oriole
#

Oh yeah I got that early on haha

#

Demolished everything with Antler it was crazy

wanton pelican
#

Im so scared of antler I feel like my low quality micro would never allow it

#

Im happy to cook a broken build and play a bunch of defense

lofty oriole
#

I had about 120ish armour after Fields so I was like "Sure whynot" 😂

pliant tiger
#

i only play antler if its a speedrun, besides that i wouldnt take it

#

im not daiyu levels of good

lofty oriole
#

Ugh same

#

I've kinda been a bit washed since the unrivalled updates. I need more practice with the new bosses at higher fears
