Medea fun
I call this one: ''The Perfect dawn''
And 40 Fear Below with Rivals 4 and Grit 3.
first win going up
just get 600 HP and Rivals 4 + Pain 3 isn't so bad I guess
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
Holy casts
Pew pew pew
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
Born gain is the best gain.... until it isn't
until it eventually becomes gain’nt
Me when I prime out during a magical spam build
Yeah, I need to make that chart at some point of "How much Mana cap do you have" versus "how much mana do you need?"
em4 typhon feels so hard, idk how you guys clear it so easily on high heat
He's actually super predicable and telegraphed
once you know the tells to look for, it's fine
It's the frenzy that gets ya
not as impressive as a max fear clear but i got a new surface pb (shoutouts to security system for saving me on the summit)
Bad run
I'm pretty sure barely anyone has even cleared max fear lmao
I know Foolish did it but it seems pretty crazy
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.
Redemption run
I didn't know about the other one but yeah Foolish is the goat
He literally managed to beat it with 0.01s left
Actually insane behaviour
he had like 0.9 seconds left why do people think that
the last tick of damage hit him at 20:29.80
I think that’s what was claimed in the reactions to it.
losing a defiance messes up the timer damage

really good medea run, im not that good w the aspect though
possessed array feels very overpowered
idk the win felt cool
poseidon is honestly not bad with supay
Yes indeed
Soup ?
I don't remember if I had posi but I used Supay for my 32 fear run
I might have a screenshot on my phone actually
Can't exactly tell but looks like Zeus, Hera, Hestia, and Demeter to me
I love it when a plan comes together
wtf 33 minutes on a supay run with godmode?
possessed array with exceptional talent is even funnier
sub 7 pb in underworld lets go
nice! im still on 7:13 😅
this build was very fun
White Charon bOOoOoOooO
no upgrades on your weapon and only 29 grasp wtf
cant afford yet working on it
I idle a ton
I usually have a video going on or people I talk to, or just plain walk away for a bit. Plus it was only the second time I'd attempted 32 fear, so I was still finding my bearings
Finally
how you take that damages wtf
idk bad at dodging i guess
but how you don't die ???
that amount is wow
wow ok
i just added all that i have unlocked
but yeah void is horrible
revange too
do you happen to have recorded the run? cause it'd be the current fear record on aspect of artemis 👀
no it's just that no one is really grinding it right now
poseidon atacks + artemis is just broken, and parry is insane
Hmm… what do the crits apply to with Artemis?
only the attacks and specials
Also, yeah. Next to nobody runs Artemis at higher fears, and next to nobody runs Void at high fears outside of 67
I was thinking “Did they choose Poseidon Attack because the crits apply to the waves?”
Because what I believe are the waves are nearly equal to the attack damage (a difference of about 30,000)
They don’t, no
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
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)
@winged sigil world records are somewhere or just you think I have it ?
There’s a website made by Autumn called “h2crossroads”
It is a documentation place of high fears runs from I believe 32 and up.
Ok
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
and it's only counted if we have recorded the run ?
I think so, yes
ok
The whole idea is that you submit your Fear, Arcana, Aspect, Familiar, and Video of the clear.
I'm going to try to do it again by recording
Then people can watch your run to improve
Anyway, congrats on clear foxiou. 
thx
Nothing crazy just my first run completed, this game is addicting.
I don't even know how I managed to pass the first zone 
Far and away the best run. Like so OP I skipped part of Typhon. Reckless abandon is crazy
How’s the Artemis runs going atm?
20min run on 0 fear doesnt seem like an op run im ngl
any run can be op regardless of fear
if it takes that long with 0 grit and 0 hordes im not sure its that op
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
true that
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
Can't pass the first area on the most of my runs because of the timer and died at second or last area when I get there
I hate satyrs
Yey
Nice run! Since your entry is leading a category, could you record a gameplay for Artemis at a similar or slightly lower fear level?
I'm trying
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 😢
missed the 20 power hammer
Ok, I know this is a very old victory (nearly a month old), but I finally got a semi-decent artwork done of my first 50 Fear clear on both ends (this is a video link to the UW)
Who’s a good kitty?

Part 2: https://youtu.be/1XNYCT02...
To think that I’ve since cleared 50+ about 7 or 8 times, one of which being a 62, within that time span… 
Suffered the most damage from typhon during the circle phase :(
um. wow
really shocked this run went anywhere lol, highest heat ive beaten so far 
32 underworld done so already no longer my highest heat. also nohit chronos which was surprising (first time fighting rivals cerb thats why i took so much lol)
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.
700 suffered from crono woe
gg tho. I can't play 62 because lack of healing
World's first sub 4 minute run YIPPEEE
fun build tried to get execptional talent at first but didnt get it but the build is still fun
Wait, how is antler level 4? I don't see the duo that does that. Or did you sell it?
Oh wait nvm, I found it in the screenshot
absolute tank
blind effect + aphrodite effect + aspects' heal + hammer that give me 20% damage res when atacking XD
got another pb lfg, so close to sub 6 please lord
not a build, just a way to become god in hades 2
#gaming #roguelike #hades
yay! first defeatr
my new fav weapon
Chop Chop Chop
yeah wtf
and he is no at max charge on his screenshot 
Ok, idea. Maybe it’s because of Executioner’s Chop?
I don't know why it gets past the usual limit. It even got to 23% at one point I think. Probably a bug with all the X2 hits
Woah….
You wouldn’t mind if that’s shared with everyone else, right?
**like in #h2-builds-and-combat and #h2-discussion
Actually, nvm.
new pb surface, midway through the summit my pc just crashed outta nowhere, im absolutely pissed cuz i was recording the run too
The highest fear I've beaten so far! 😊
this is as good as aspect of selene can get
wow congratulations
That would be Success Rate, somewhat surprisingly it can raise the Thanatos crit chance
that makes sense
I should really try that "don't get hit" strategy. I cant play often so I'm still getting use to 40% frenzy with Rivals
momus omega cast build (forgot to screenshot at end)
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.
Face tanked the 2nd half of grandpa bc i had to leave, but a new fear pb for me 🙂↕️
i dont even know where to begin with this build to be honest
i didnt even know 1 second heph blasts were possible i thought it capped at 2
That level 8 sea star really carried the run I bet
Seismic Servo 🗣️
i got it near the end of olympus and the only thing it did was double the poms from supply chain actually lol
Heph its based as always
but when it doubled the poms from supply chain it was really funny, because i also had some hermes shipments come in that chamber so it was just nonstop poseidon voicelines for a couple seconds
Technically it lies
It's more like a 1.4-1.5s cooldown iirc
why's that
Cuz that's just what the decrease amounts to
Lol
do you mean seismic servo or are you talking about just level 4 heroic attack
because ik about seismic servo but i thought the level 4 heroic attack was actually one second
I wasn't even trying that hard, it just kinda happened.
Heph attacks are capped at 2s seismic servo brings this down to 1s but it's actually ~1.4s
thats what i mean, my heph attack said 1s
Yeh cuz you have seismic
i got the extra level from a pom slice, bug maybe?
ohhh i didnt know that seismic was factored into the displayed cooldown
We love Ripple Effect!
Yup. It may take different amounts of Poms, but it won't even appear in the pom selection screen if you've got it down to 2 seconds. Getting extra levels through something like Bridal Glow has no affect.
(Also, congrats on the sub 4 minute run!)
dash-strike to nuke anything lower than a miniboss lol
apollo legendary run
wtf I don't know that glyph boosts
why choose between OP attack and OP special when you can simply have both?
that was crazy ramdom build i just trolled then tried not hit on the 2nd boss then i just wanted to kill chronos lol my hex was just waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to op i literally took him from 50% to 0 with 1 use
dash strike with exhaust riser on the coat hits alot of times huh. poseidon waves went crazy this run
oh by the way I'm a 62er now
Don't have time
oh wow very close
I love how you weaved omega attack into standard combo!
yeah most medea players forget that omega moves are a thing but its oattack is very good
queens ransom gaming (got offered a level 22 tough gain in the final shop that reduced all damage by like 25 which was funny)
made rivals kronos feel like regular kronos what an insane run
not a victory but a rare naturally activated uncoomon grace without proper upbringing going into the final boss.
whats with the double boon icons
oh no idea just noticed it maybe had too many boons?
each screen can only hold 35 icons it happens when you pick too many boons and offerings
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
is it possible to get 70 boons without mods?
assuming you get a full path of stars and get a major find in every single room, runs are all around 50 rooms
so no
hippo did it by making every single room in ephyra, including the side rooms, contain a boon
It shouldn't be. I've gotten extremely close naturally thoughg
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
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.
Melinoe invents the fire-hose againt typhon
Also that was a title that I didn't even know existed
skull omega attack kinda goes crazy ngl
Would've given your left arm to get Wide Grin on that?
would've been nice, hard to complain with the hammers I did get though
the end of that run would be such a pain without Fetching Array lol
My fav uncle and cousin. <3
Also kinda unpopular opinion - i like nyx's coat more than selene
I don't think that's unpopular at all 💀
Could old natural selection have made it possible?
Maybe? You'd have to get it literally in ephyra though
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
I still keep old builds of the games, I might try it out for fun.
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?
So basically, first room Demeter second room posidon then third room Demeter for the second requirement of the duo + three side doors with three minor rewards to artificer (all boons) then hit the duo with quick buck and travel deal and Medea gold curse. Ez setup lmao
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
Cannot use them since no minor rewards at this point.
Let’s move this to discussion since we are in victory channel
early to boast yet, but sea star + aspect of persephone + success rate + bridal glow... I think I might be fine
circe is so funny. i got the card activation card XD
how did i get traps on my damage inflicted screen
i think steam is traps?
huh
1000 damage taken by typhon haha
i love scalding vaporigination 
Absolutely insane run that basically melted everything, double allies + quad cast eruption goes insanely hard.
53 fear pb carried by echo dds
took the Black Coat out for the first time and accidentally killed Chronos (engraved pin hard carried im NOT going to lie)
little bit of this and little bit of that ahh anubis build
Here’s what I did to beat Chronos!
Got extremely lucky with this dodge chance build. 83% dodge chance motionless. Plus 20% with daze and another 7% with Hot Pot. Mostly beat Typhon without moving
first r4 frenzy2 win! and on artemis too
55% damage increase from martial art thank you hephy
16 fear done. i hate rivals sirens
finally got typhon 😭
did like 9000 damage in one go with the beams tho so that was fun
PGGGGT LMFAO
It will be one of my fav and the funniest build - turning Meli into beyblade. xD
first time playing hades 2 in a hot minute
annihalated 32 fear with rivals and max frenzy with (what is in my opinion at least) one of the strongest builds in the game
10 min 44 second 32 fear is hillarious
This is my 2nd ever max frenzy rivals typhon clear btw
This build is also extremely flexible (aside from possessed array being required for this build to work)
Imagine this but with exceptional talent
first try 32 fear surface mel axe, this build was surprisingly solid tbh
This build was really weird, I sort of just came up with ideas on how this build should go as I went
50f supay with chaos dd
Had so much fun with this build :D was probably my fastest rivals typhon kill as well
Fyi I dodge 3/4 p3 scythe attacks. That one time I couldn't because I used dash to dodge his dash attack
New record! This time with a weapon I'd been previously struggling with for a LONG time.
Ouh
strength my goat 😎 👍
Yeah strength is way to go. I can't play diddy. I remember switching back to dd and immediately felt that -20% damage from strength and said no
funniest image ive seen in a while
Dodge chance sadly isn't additive
weirdest 32 fear run of all time
This was a jack of all traits build which is something you never see
Attack does good damage once you get blood drops going and special was mostly there for safety and crowd control
Anyways, 32 fear underworld and surface with all aspects 20/48
another silly slow cooker run
forgot to pom the attack boon at all whoops
Funny cracked combo. Basically I had infinity mana. xD
this is the second time sun worshipper has carried me through typhon's last phase, but it is a 20 fear surface victory! now i have to do it with 32, it's going to be brutal
😭 Felt like I was dodging near 90% just standing still
i still had the tooth but tbh bringing it was a misclick in the first place. so close to a loss.
easily one of the best runs I've ever had. If only I could share the seed; I got max level heph attack in the first 2 rooms
almighty chaos
hard to set up because you can't roll hammers, but if it comes online...
Wide Grin nuke is always fun
i legitimately phased chronos out of his opening instant kill in phase 2 with one omega. half his health bar just...gone
(i'd rolled the +2 shells hammer with a keepsake so i was REALLY nuking everything)
Chaos Below
the stars aligned
Total Eclipse carried the Typhon fight
Surface 62 yay
hehehe staff go brrrr (mirrored thrasher, cardio gain, and volcanic strike synergize REAL nice together imo)
Chaos almighty this run was tough early on with Frenzy 2 on Charon
but Giga Cleaver for 2 insta Geyser Spout was worth it
Holy, I think this is the best run I ever had. I was just bullying the bosses, and getting an extra fountain in the middle of Mt Olympus just sealed the deal with all the extra moon water uses
My man
More surface content pls
probably not much anytime soon I'm tragically busy over the next couple days and I will be silking my song after that 
First try 60f
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/852833387030380546/1412062787576004608/image.png?ex=68b6ed73&is=68b59bf3&hm=ec187ef0081b8e8ec3e682a6bed7e53a2ef0492212e7a828a5b68ee5305e4e51&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=931&height=524
new personal best 🥳 (could have been better if i had gotten artemis but wtv)
this is one of the most aggressive wins I've ever seen... I didn't even get the chance to use my keepsake
preemptive win posting cause...
i hit the actual jackpot for special damage i think
Finally a win with the worst Aspect in the game!
surprisingly fun hitch build featuring a strong hex as well

it works best with chain lightning, froth, wave/scorch attack
Managed to not have attacks or specials on the damage board at all here
No victory to show yet. But made it to 62 Chronos Phase 3 for the first time on Mel Staff. Almost there
I believe dodge chance is additive
I do not
I've had extreme chances in the past and it was anything but due to the additive nature
You can look on YouTube for "100% dodge chance hades II", e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nv-ZigmSfVs
I think it's just from non-scorched foes (which was less than 100% dodge). You can look at this one instead if you don't believe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frneuoB23_Y&t=126s
I'm looking at the actual combatlogic
its 100% additive and can go up to 100% to be infinite for sure
what vid are we talking about having him take damage with 100%
the one above?
This one, right towards the end, but if scorch is involved then I guess?
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
Daze is separate right? Is that what I'm getting thrown by?
daze is different yeah
yea daze is a separate check
56.25+30+9
95% dodge before scorch doubling
If it was multiplicative, in both videos they'd have about 24-25% chance to be hit even from scorched foes, which would mean they'd get hit much more often than they did (even the 3 times in the Haelian video).
What "combatlogic" are you seeing?
the actual game scripts
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
Yeah, I'm just asking where you're seeing it's multiplicative in the game code. I'm curious.
since you can't scorch them can never double the chances =5% to get hit
I wasn't, I was still looking through it when I said that
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
That's another case of weird hyperbolics
well, adding 1% dodge chance when you have none is 1% less damage
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
adding 1% chance when you're at 90% is essentially 10% less damage from then
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
I wasn't talking at all about daze
o
just about additive dodge
how each % added is more powerful than the last
literal hyperbolic mathematics
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.
where your "effective" health is Health/(1-Dodge) which gets silly
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
It was like 8 hours of afking
the fuck
peak gameplay
well that defenitely was a lot of fun
lunar ray goes brrrr
there we go (i love froth)
vod if anyone wanna watch it: https://youtu.be/QWk8WrRp1O4
I hate Vow of Fangs.
first r4 frenzy2 surface win!
attack took out each chronos phase in seconds
air quality moment
yeet 54f surface mel flame
Another
damn, that last chronos phase is so rough, GG's
Finally beat 32F Surface after many fails 
That fight i am absolute butt at. Gotta keep practicing that, been focused on improving my sirens and cerb so now i can invest more time in it 🤠
i havent even tried Vow Chronos or Typhoon myself, been putting it off 😂 but now i have a clear with every aspect i think thats next on my list
62F Artemis down 🗡️
spiteful strength at home
was using strength, but pin saved this run! phased typhon with the countdown then turned into a little girl.
new pb eventually ill get the sub 5
Glamour gain + nervous wreck are so good for big rooms
First ever sub 10 (and sub 9!) run
Big chop win let's goooo
Holy 727 hp
My special went crazy here, especially with all of the Chaos boons
almost 400k on the omega attack lol, finally finished every testament
(dont look at damage taken on the blackened fleece)
anubis with chain lightning is so much fun lol + i got so much money and elements this run + double legendary lol
warm breeze is funny
Unrivaled Typhon done!! also wtf beach ball damage lmao?
is 32 fear underground much easier than 24 surface or have i just gotten very lucky?
it can be I suppose
this is fist try while i failed 20 times going up
I think they should be pretty even at this point though, given that olympus enemies got nerfed
If you're doing max Rivals then it's gonna be a struggle
dont even have rivals 4 unlocked
I'd probably just stick to rivals 2 if you're just trying to get statues done
rivals 3 UW is reasonable as well, Rivals 3 SF is quite tough
yea cerberus is quite easy whle prometheus gives me problems on his own
yeah prom is the first real wall in the game, I think
air quality go brrr
Beeg xinth punches
inching my way up (this did no damage btw, 4th phase typhon took a full minute) (also forced contingency for godsent on strength)
holy duos, batman!
okay I underestimated how fun rush builds could be! Also I forgot to change from Evil Eye (Prometheus) so it was doing absolutely nothing in that last fight.
why would you pin on strength 😭
first typhon clear
i did not think that run would go good lol my hammers were incredibly questionable, I did not get possessed array once unfortunately but heinous affront saved the run
first time I ever did it and it saved the run phased him during the countdown
yeah well pin disables strength so it lowers your effective hp
pin is negative synergy
Pin disables the damage reduction strength gives you
im aware of how it works
Apollo + Shiva balls = crazy damage. Apollo + Lunar Ray = boss destroyer. Never have I beaten Typhon so quickly
silly damage
finally 24 fear surface only took like 25 tries
HOLY SUB 6 LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
first win ever, charged special was doing sickening damage
lightning soup
Finally, Unrivaled Typhon has fallen!
Now, it's Time to end Chronos himself.
how did you ake 451 damage from traps wtf lmao
i assume they were killing themselves with it for more last gasp
My first 62F. Charon Axe Underworld.
https://youtu.be/aZO4RZMxUqo
Hades 2 Underworld 62 fear with Aspect of Charon.
Unseeded. The Unseen update. Patch 11. Vows: Void 0.
Raki. Total Eclipse with Eminence. VERY lucky Erebus.
514 damage from chaos???!
what was the curse
Died by Chaos timer curse at Hecate 😅 for some reason the game counted 514 dmg even if I had something like 30 hp.
Its cause the debuff Said you take 500 damage from chaos If you dont clear so it counted the 500
Also damn losing 3 DD at hecate and still clearing is sick
Renewed Faith is broken)
Congrats! 
Just run into them!
First 32 Fear run! First try (1 HP at Hecate and 4 HP after Sirens lmao)
Ayyy 
Trying for fun 32f vor 4 with pan. Aimed for Hestia/Poseidon duo but didn't get.
Still doable but the pan's nerf is visible.
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.
Thank you late King's Ransom for allowing me to just run around in circles
First full heph run and 2nd clear for chronos, heph is so fun lmao
a satisfying surface nergal run after grinding underworld speedruns
24 Fear surface done, that was not a clean run though lol. Idk but somehow im not a fan of Nergal
oh my god LETS GOOOOOOO 50 FEAR SURFACE
NOT EVEN CLOSE! I was getting hit by everything during the end...
double smolder ring gaming
Talk about a sustain build
splendid
you should use the oatk
oatk?
OAttack = Omega Attack
It’s shortened to save time, so…
OAttack = Omega Attack
OSpecial = Omega Special
OCast = Omega Cast
oh lol, gtta try that more then. i wanted to play attack but gt offered epic aphro special so i figured i'd try a Ospecial run
I thought this would be a dud run but the late hammer and then 200% for no boons brought it home
Me: I wonder how good shiva is if I just kinda ignore its whole mechanic and use its basic attack:
first 32f clear with primed out in chronos p1, blitz hard carry in p2
First time clearing Unrivaled Typhon, dear god I took so much damage in this run
double legendaries for my first 32 fear surface clear
god i love morrigan so much this aspect is insanely fun
starting my 48 fear challenge run for all aspects and regions, starting with mel staff underworld, next up is circe surface (this is gonna be hell to complete)
rivals chronos beaten 2nd attempt, pyro technique went crazy
The holy thrasher trinity, improved by Icarus
Meliblade is my new funny yet op build to go.
Today I beat all weapons at 38 Fear
eeeey first ever win
first time beating typhon, lost 2 dds before him but i didnt even lose any dds to typhon himself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2nd time getting to him (i havent played h2 much lowk)
this build is probably ass but idegaf i was so convinced i was cooked
||the blast and heartthrob combo completely nuked heracles during prom's first phase shift, fasted i've ever killed him. and the only damage i took against typhon was in baby phase thanks to dodge and sheer damage output||
rivals typhon down, 2nd attempt again lol
first blades clear, pretty fun build
and thats all 3 statues done
Almost managed to keep a dress to the end, next time ig
Alright Supergiant, you know how to cook up a challenge… this trial is the most fun I’ve had with H2 yet! Now, onto the Great Chaos Below… wish me luck!
This is the first time I have allowed Eris to curse me and still gotten the Night 1 clear!
I only let her bless me in Tartarus, but still! I never thought I would get to this point.
hitch...soup...? surprisingly pretty effective at one-shotting most enemies, though it definitely took a back seat for the boss fights
Wow, best cast build I've ever had
My third time beating Chronos, with an Hera/Aphrodite build. Sorry up for the french text
sparkle soup! turns out there actually is a use case for reckless abandon 
How the hell did you get so many Heroic boons?
Passion Rush: rarified with keepsake
Stutter Step: rarified with Phial
everything else: rarified by Steady Growth
Fun Fact, you can still get steady growth to rarify itself it it's the only valid option for doing so
Wow.
2nd time beating him!! havent played in like 3 months at this point lmao
This build really came together nicely
Is 50 fear underworld that good btw?
I have a feeling I was just running around like a chicken with its head cut off.
booya!
all the buos 
bah 2nd run after not playing for like 3 weeks
classic 50, no rivals. This old boomer still got it ig
spin to win
hammermaxxing
ice soup. really wanted to get the damage over Air Quality's minimum but it just wasn't happening
some runs had the most miserable rooms i've ever had but damn it was still fun to beat lmao
.......how? Just, how?
Ayyy finally a win thats not with the skull
Beat unrivaled typhon for the first time and then I did it again right after. Now for granddad and 32 fear …
finally, circe 48 fear surface in the bag, 48 fear momus underworld next
found a way to make the Morrigan special do something (but yeah Sinister Pinion really should just be basekit)
yes i got my first frenzy 2 run sucsess
had the most egregious set up for king's ransom, but Zeus decided to not show up
My best time continues to be standard issue Xinth, really just all about how lucky I get with Zeus boons (still picking Poseidon keepsake because it's the best spam attack)
knife soup! had to force both Apollo and Hephaestus but somehow I was still able to rarify Stutter Step going into Summit lol
sooo satisfying with nergal
Apollo Lunar Beam carried ngl
maybe ares isnt as washed as i thought!? fun run trying to stack attack speed on mel torches
Beat Chronos for the 4th time, with a Demeter/Hera/Aphrodite build
aphro nyx special build that worked bizarrely well lmao
🤠
VERY WORRIED
3/48 done, next up is anubis surface
Well I was hoping my next 62f surface clear would be without Black Night Banishment and definitely it not hitting Pain again but oh well 🙁
At least Eos got a surface 62 this patch now, and I found out that embryo can give you Chant
Trigger Warning: Black Night Banishment Hits Vow of Pain
first try back to back, no where else but up
50 Fear Surface Run with Rivals 4 cleared on Mel Coat. How do you like that Typhon?
Man I wish I had that Legendary, it's so annoying picking up Plasma
59f Eos Surface.
https://youtu.be/w76yLjyyNaU
Hades 2 Surface 59 fear with Aspect of Eos.
Unseeded. The Unseen update. Patch 11. Vows: Rivals 4 Time 2 Void 0.
Gale. Start with Transcendent Embryo: Favor - Revival.
Pay no attention to my hp, look, 6 duos!
Air Quality on most weapons: okay, maybe some extra cast or rush damage
Air Quality on Anubis: press X to make Typhon go poof
run was going pretty well throughout, then got Static Shock, Air Quality, All Together, and Nervous Wreck all in summit lmao
tenacity and brutality helped too
oh yeah I meant to post water soup. tbh I think Stabbing Rush kinda clears Breaker Rush for Supay except at high fear, it's just that Poseidon has the damage way more frontloaded which is why it's the high-fear meta
Lol, thats why i love that boon
The victory I WOULD have had that I was speaking of in #h2-tech-support message before Chronos seemingly rewound time and crashed my game
All I needed to win, didn't even use my Moon Water
:)
i took quite a break from the game, so I almost threw an unlosable run to rivals chronos, but I got there in the end
Nyx, you just gunna leave me hanging? I've done your will. Where's my reward? Nyx??
the real reward was the experience of 48 high fear runs 🥰
the last (serious) Supay run: fire soup! Hestia's legendary is so funny btw like wdym Smolder Ring is the ONLY core boon that works as a prereq
and just for fun...one-day blinding soup
FINALLY GOT RIVAL TYPHOON DOWN, LETS GOOO
wanted to see if i could defeat chronos with an arachne outfit intact and somehow got it on the first try, now to try the same thing on rivals 4!
Aspect of Nergal 62f Underworld clear
The humble Tough Gain makes its mark at 62 and I finally get a non-crutch 62 clear. Will record an overexplain run over this footage for Youtube.
NOW I AM NIGHT'S CHAMPION
having fun with trick knives for the (hopefully) limited time theyre this insane lol
man im ass with tk, couldnt get it out half the time cuz i have no idea how to dash strike consistently
poseidon anubis was a pretty good pick for my first run in a month but god the chronos damage was not good
i got 2 heph blast effects to 1 second and it was awesome (please ignore the fact that i lost all my dds)
(1.48 seconds)
the boon was never designed to display decimals cause the CD reduction boon didn't exist, so it just rounds down visually
moving on from soup runs to...well there's not really a funny nickname for Circe runs but here's Storm Ring
circus?
okay so this is 0 fear so it's not that impressive (i did best a best time but eh)
but the aphro attack LMAO. it started as epic hera attack, then did queen's ransom, then did double your highest level from echo, then got a sacrifice for aphro LOL
King's/Queen's Gambit into a sacrifice sounds like a really fun build to go for, I gotta try that
it was completely unintentional too on all fronts. it just Happened Like That LMAO
also OOPS I said gambit instead of ransom mb
practice for 48 fear anubis surface for tomorrow, i understand it now
new fear pb!! using my favourite build in the game, gust supay (didnt even get tropical cyclone lol)
Think I almost did a hitless Typhon /s
Surely it has already been showcased, but I found this "cast and win" build, was a lot of fun !
Managed to get all the Arcana active for the first time due to Judgement?
missing lovers?
Circe + Hera...whoops never mind I got the god omega cast build ig
yum
Rivals Typhon DEFEATED! And I didn't even know how much HP I had during the entire fight
worry free goes hard
holy omega special
Hoooly wtf… you could have kept doing that forever lol
No Uncommon Grace, Artemis or Snuffed Candle and couldn't activate Rallying Cry or Tall Order but I think I did well enough
TIL chant is a thing????? how have i never run into that before?
ye it's a chaos infusion, tho it's still classified under a "rarity" so it's not as apparent
it's super rare unless you specifically aim for it, i have yet to naturally get it at ~200 night played
INCREDIBLY fun build lol
starting the fear climb, nice
Question: does cut above work the same way as explosive intent for pan knives? Was hard to tell if it multi triggered with the amount of flashy effects happening all at once, so fast
On another note, I never got king tide, and probably am just not lucky enough for it, but I got a pretty good run with knives that felt more like rocket missiles. OSpecial, Wolfhowl (counts as idle enough for tranquil gain), rinse and repeat
I admit I only beat Chronos with 1 Fear, and I'm barely starting with 2.
rng loved me today
(btw TIL flood gain does not care if you "lose" magick which is yet another reason "losing" magick is dumb)
on the other hand, flood gain is infinite double attack staff
I finally beat Thyphon!!!!!!!!!!!!! After so many damn attempts
first chronos kill
Idk where else to say this, but WHAT. You defeat Typhon and Chronos on the surface and they TURN U INTO A KID N KILL U
yea
Yeah??? omfg that pact stuff is whooping my butt bruh omfg
Eugh, I mean it caught me off guard but just wow, ok screw me then i guess
First axe clear, not bad at all
I really like duo boons
chaos stopped me from getting burning desire 
decorative born gain
just a casual run. spawn of typhon truly is the true final boss
no prometheus on the board this time 
no hand of hera </3
pretty average cast build but an anvil at the end and a random apollo legendary that showed up had my omega attack firing like 6 times and doing 1.6k damage total with every pop 
should be 4 times
going to try to build back up to 50 fear before the month ends 🫡
Wait what? I didn’t see Chronos on surface?
Not yet you haven't
Spoilers I guess sorry, it's his Vow battle
If you don't know, or haven't gotten there yet, bosses get harder if u make a vow before a run. Typhon then decides to crap on you and laugh
Is that part of the Oath of the Unseen? I only played with it a little. Was gonna wait until release
(Sorry, I stopped playing to wait for release and only did one more just to see what’s left on the surface. Somehow managed to get Typhon on the first try and then the run ended). Didn’t think about the vows lol.
yeah, that
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FINALLY, 48 FEAR MEL BLADES UNDERWORLD NEXT
My first 32 fear 🙌 it's not amazing but I'm pretty happy hehehe
waiter! waiter! more magick spend builds please
Solar Ray is just absurd if you got fully into it
Local goddess sends in the boys to do her dirty work:
Wait how? /gen
rivals typhon can summon yarg
Not that, double enemy summon for player. Should've been more specific
night bloom
sun worshipper
charm aphrox hera duo boon
you can theoretiaclly ahve 3
That's cracked
Me: "I'll use artemis and build into ta big omega attack based crit build"
The Game: "You will make a cast-based build and like it"
(There's even wicked onslaught and slow cooker adding 40 power, but noooooo)
Yeah. One was night bloom upgraded with servitude. Other was sun worshipper
Doesn't matter that the only enemy I'd killed got revived with sun worshipper. Night bloom can still make a copy
nom
not that impressive, could have been sub 6:50 with better luck
they do so much damage lol, i had a sun worshipper servant do 3k damage every hit, geniunely baffled me
back at it after a long break. thankfully by the time i actually made it past the poison cyclops and saw what the new prometheus fight is I was dealing thousands of dps
Everything is moving in slow motion on 0 Frenzy after a year and a half of having at least 20%.
beat 32 fear underworld tonight, which is monumental to me considering that i used to have 45 min hades 1 runs where i didn't even know about privileged status and would literally do run-in, run-out chip tactics for entire bossfights. also the aspect of anubis is ridiculous
First victory, woo!
not the best run but i wanted to show the amount of money i got
Love anubis staff it's awesome. Omega damage plus assist damage
Congrats though, the surface 24 and underworld 32 is my next goal
Awesome
good luck!! i felt surface 24 was honestly harder, but that might be my prometheus-shaped skill issue speaking. anubis is definitely a good pick!!
My unsolicited advice with Prometheus is just avoid him as much as possible and just heckle Hades until he's defeated, if you can. With the anubis aspect it makes it disgustingly easy imo.
I'm going up there with Lim n Oros with the aspect of the morrigan, so i may be getting destroyed for a while
super fun aspect, one that looks so fluid when you get a good build. hope you get it first try💪
And now a second one?
finally!!!!!
only got 30 mins left for lunch time. glad i made it before 1 pm lol
supay so goated it doesnt even need a damaging rush boon. very fun build 10/10 can recommend
And exceptionall talent doesn't even work on specials but hey!
Best Run I had, I had plenty of heals, 24 nightmare and it is on God Mode
Yuh thx u for that. Definitely using Toula as a crutch but once I get used to these beat downs and dodging Typhon, I'll be getting Raki again
you got this
Not really a win
(won't be for a very very long time) Imminent massive burnout, I can feel it

another 48 fear anubis surface win cuz i accidentally deleted my gameplay footage for the previous win i had, this time i didnt delete the footage
@winged sigil
yeah i saw it, congrats 👍
Geyser Spout and Circe Staff my beloved
I now only require 3 more victories upon the Surface.
I have 8 days left to achieve these goals before v1.0 sends me back to square one on these last two high-priority items.
Teehee
The first of many.
Greater Chaos Above done.. finally. It's particularly enjoyable to have played well enough to never be hit by Prometheus.
Had a real blessèd run: used 6/7 effective DDs, and this build worked very nicely for me, got up to Typhon and smacked him down first time 😅
posting this exclusively out of spite at athena for scamming me after a bad r3 (actually in general this build just kind of sucked would not recommend)
Second try, but it's done, will send screenshot later
I will be attempting the underworld later tonight or tomorrow
||Vow of Rivals|| Typhon ||and chronos|| with 16heat :0
Still not good enough to do these Vows without a crutch right now, but I'll get to that level soon. the 32 underworld run is whooping me though omg. I died to Hecate on the first run, got to the Fields of Mourning, died, then got to the Sirens barely, died there, got to Cerberus barely, died, then got to Chronos actually decently, and got plowed awfully.
So gonna take a break it's midnight, will try again another time.
first coat clear, really fun lance of ares build
That's a 32 fear underworld done ! Kinda frustrated on how I've specifically catered an excellent roster (Apollo & Zeus in Erebus, Hephaestus & Demeter in Oceanus) and couldn't get any duo or abuse demeter's gust.
Man, the early is rough will all the new conditions I didn't put at first.
(Also, I do realize now how supremely slow i was lmao)
First time since I started playing! Still a total noob but it feels good to defeat Chronos first try
pretty average run besides the fact that i misclicked in the final fountain room and took the gold purse instead of the pin 
can you imagine if the summon could kill Typhon here?
anywho
trying to get back to 50 on rivals. Im not looking forward to needing to add vow of pain...
eos gaming
funniest run ive had in a while, everything got killed in like 5-10 seconds, got hit by proms memory phase like three times, and the cherry on top is this is a 32 fear surface time pb
splash meta
Accidentally stumbled into an example Incandescent aura build, but honestly it was just hitch doing all the work here
sea of red... xD
first olympus win and 4th win overall. hestia and aphro's duo boon is crazy
very next run was a win too
While I may have beat this run, it was a total mess, I think I used at least 9 Death Defiances this run
The famous "I don't want to play the game myself" run
wtf i became torchespilled AND hephpilled in the same run what gives
p much no fear but we're ignoring that part
somehow I forgot to pin Howling Soul on the victory screen but it combos so well with the 4x O-special build
beat typhon for my 2nd ever time on 16 fear, think i did decently well
Couldn't get Success Rate or Premium Service so I think I can do more damage but a win is a win
So close to dying
supay is still broken and funny to play with
Accidentally did a power surge/Incandesent Aura build
spend mana for free damage, gain mana for free damage
single handily bringing the stats up on the boon so it doesn't get buffed 😔
Nah, that's this one
kinda wish Scorch was also a valid proc curse but we can't have everything
Or were you talking about power surge?
power surge ye
I have newer comments about it, but #h2-builds-and-combat
Circe + Poseidon! Winner's Circle is such a must-have for this
easiest game ive ever played, promised myself not to do high fear till exams are over but here it is, sub 14:30 48 fear medea surface (didnt record this run but i dont care, ill do it again)
Finally did 50 fear, almost died
Hubrised myself into a manaless build and rendered half my boons completely useless for my first 24-fear Surface win. Felt like a total throwback to an Aspect of Zagreus flail build
Moon water is just so OP, I don't think I've ever lost a run where I've had it
finally did it , that was so hard man
First Surface victory
First time running Persephone and maining Heph. Fell in love 
50 Fear Below Clear with Rivals 4 on Mel Coat. I have now done 50 Fear Surface and 50 Fear Below. And since I have already 100% the entirety of the final patch before 1.0 (including buying all cosmetics, upgrading everything that can be upgraded, getting all affinity raised as high as it can, completing the currently completable cauldron and prophecies, getting all the music, and getting all romance scenes), I have truly conquered Time.
And a second Typhon victory, woo!
Finally, my first Typhon victory!
TIL heinous affront works with unseen ire. pretty fun interaction
4k froth dmg carried the game
managed to make the coat omega special fun (also a rare solar ring somehow did 23k?? huh???)
first time using morrigan
supay is still broken, i love it
Looks to the Fated List of minor Prophecies.
Checks the required reagents for the Incantation to unlock the fullest power of the Vow of Rivals
Looks like I'm long overdue to go Axe Typhon some questions.
this was an interesting build. absolutely melted groups of mobs, of course, but surprisingly not bad against the bosses either.
I think I may have found my favorite supay build. Absolutely bonkers
62 with nyx
tried the kamehameha build for the first time, wouldve been so much better if i got the athena +3
charon fun run turned into genuinely eviscerating typhon. the legendary was a beautiful pickup. it never stops being funny.
Got 62 after 2 weeks of not playing
First surface clear (46 hrs)
I cheesed I know but idgaf I finally did it
Took forever, I went from 172 nights to 190 something and I'm only disappointed I didn't change my weapon before
First time doing a run with the Moros aspect, I think I've been underestimating it bit
First time using Aspect of Charon. Pretty funny!
Uhhh I still don't know how to use the Sproute bit well lol
I did not use the Riposte as much as I'd have liked (and Burning Desire would certainly have been cool here...)
yay
Under 7 minutes (with Xinth!), who needs a meta. Top 30 let's goooo
Also I think it might be the fastest Black Coat time period?
https://www.speedrun.com/hades2
World Record Coat clear at 6m52s unless I'm being silly not seeing another player's coat run https://www.speedrun.com/hades2/runs/yw5eqvny
Posessed array damage somehow counts as just regular attack damage on the stat screen, so we have this monstrosity
unintentionally got heras legendary and almost got all of the infusion boons for this 40 fear medea fun run (frosty veneer, rallying cry, and chant missing)
this was just funny
First time using Supay, it is hilarious
hex builds are so fun
Who needs an attack anyway
heh starting the fear climb 😼
could definitely do faster but this was nice for a casual rush
I'm getting Supay pilled
:D
FIRST WIN
Huh, Snuffed Candle gets translated into Savage Duel in French? strange
BLOOD, WE NEED MORE BLOOD
I didn’t take a picture of my build 😩 but I finally beat chronos last night!
my luckiest Charon run b4 launch
TAKE THAT CHRONOS YOU CHEATING SOB
well fed mel
first time trying aspect of circle. It was fun, although maybe aspect of charon would have been better for this build I got
Ayyyy finally, my skill issue managed to beat tygone
32 FEAR win!!! highlighted arcana in image 2 are from pig in stage 1. Ygnium is really good, especially with on omega effects and hestia mana.
it took me until like, cerberus to get an attack boon and that hurt, but wave strike was the exact attack boon I wanted. Honestly it was kinda an inverse difficulty, I lost all my DDs by the end of area 2, but didn't lose any in 3 and 4 after athena refilled me
second olympus win. went from 0 to 8 fear
good charon builds just hit right
And now, I am ready for Friday.
I have used the Zodiac Sands and Void Lenses for all I needed them for,
Most must pray for the chance to make a brighter future.
Now, I merely wait.
I didnt take a screenshot but I just beat the surface for the first time!
infusion central
Well, no exactly how I was expecting to use Aspect of Momus, but I had no plan with Aspect of Momus for starters so eh, sure!
once again i am ignoring the aspect
Frigid Rush + Air Quality + Creation from Chaos... That was hilarious
ayy we just had the same run
new fear pb, supay + static shock + air quality, with 33% dodge chance from aphro infusion and 3 hammers on specials
even down to the epic creation from chaos
wanted to celebrate maxing every single keepsake before 1.0 launch, since I never maxed all my H1 keepsakes. this is a victory boast of a kind, right?
while i'm here: freaking love abusing hexes to get kills on Rivals Chronos. if Supergiant sold a #1 HEX ABUSER t-shirt I'd buy it
boutta get that done too, congrats on the hard work, hope i can get it til release 🙏
I believe in you! And don't be afraid to abuse Chaos Trials for the keepsakes you just hate running (LOOKING AT YOU DISCORDANT BELL)
just finished the first run with discordant bell, chose up path and got railed by typhon a few attacks before killing him, its crazy 😭
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
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
I slept on Evil Eye for, no joke, 115 or so runs lol
my evil eye is also on typhon rn
slept on most helpful things my whole save file 😭
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
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
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
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
sounds like such good gontent 😩
and I'm no slouch; Scylla and Typhon were the only Rivals bosses I didn't oneshot. like. ish is absolutely crazy*
scylla rival fight was sooooo good now that you mentioned it
I made this and posted it to Reddit almost a year ago so you can imagine how I felt upon loading into Rivals Scylla
goddamn here talking about oneshots, my bad for typing into your chat
so real 😭
this was pre-nerf when Chary took two DD's off me each time, minimum
hell nah hes been nerfed? crazy
oh yeah like a year ago LOL
just got the game in like july so
damn
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
"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
BACK in MY DAY there was JUST the UNDERWORLD and POLYPHEMUS and ERIS. And WE WERE GRATEFUL
eris does feel like a final boss sometimes ngl
nah im trippin she gets easier like 3rd 4th try mb
was that day 1 EA tho??
cuz damn thats good content
I double checked and yeah the first patch talks about adjusting the drops on the Thessaly
i started playing july 2024, it’s been a ride lol
goddamn yall ogs
also we may wanna switch to #h2-discussion
i just kept playing hades waiting to get closer to release 😭
Finally, first victory with Black Coat
gg!!!
everyone please welcome our newest acolyte to the Church of Xinth with a hearty and warm "gg"
@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
I kinda have the same problem with 32 fear Chronos, they told me to get his rivals down, (cuz I did 24 Typhoon with R4) and he still beats my ahh
fastest 32 fear underworld yet, took stalwart for safety cuz scars 3
my vows (no rivals cuz they take too much time)
also accidentally sold an epic vital signs 
holy fast. GG
im too lazy to submit it to the speedrun leaderboards, ill do another run when 1.0 releases
Love it when all of the arcana come together. Also one of my favourite builds I've gotten
Ohhhhhh, that one was fun
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.
(chaos uses they/them btw)
#1 omega attack enjoyer
maybe not the greatest time, but almost exactly 2 minutes faster than my hades 1 pb
Does apollo feel good on aom coat? im thinking of trying it next on typhon
tried to do legendary apollo aspect of eos here but on my last apollo boon he wouldnt give me the legendary 💔
16 fear
yea hestia+demeter and hestia+aphro boons are crazy with aspect of moros
(3rd olympus win and highest fear yet)
one last run before release
today's victories
last run before 1.0 for me
first max vow of void win, still kept arachnes dress, second pic is proof
all my usual vows with no rivals, had the JUICIEST kings ransom setup ready yet the damn game didnt give me jack
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
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
Air Quality Supay is just hysterical lmao
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
wait did u use vow of forfeit cuz that feels bad with supay
forfeit is onion right?
yes
yeah i did, i rerolled door to location 2 and got my actual zeus boon first try
lucky
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
can confirm, i had like a minute spent on a single ephyra room cuz supay damage without boons feels like ass
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
poms can be on door 2
pom can also be there but youd need a boon, which forfeit takes
yeah
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
yk what when i roll credits on hades 2 ill go try 50 fear supay surface again
highest was like 48 no forfeit
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
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
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.
true
aphro magick regen was great for the weak effect
wait i stand corrected i got heras special, no thermal d at all my bad
holy rush damage
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
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
i think ill try to go for the same strat for my 50 fear supay, alternative is to go heat rush and find thermal d
good luck once you do it!
thanks
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
🙏
redid my 50 on momus in prep for launch
(please ignore the 1100 dmg taken from chronos)
OH NOOOOOOOOO, yeah have to admit that rivals fith is kinda a clusterfuck.
think this was my fastest run.
Last run before 1.0. Romantic Spark triggering Blitz + Thermal Dynamics is a bit insane
hell yeah gg!
last run of EA before 1.0. got unlucky but it was still very fun
First win guys. who'd I do?
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 ^^
my last ea runs with an ass surface speedrun (accidentally left vow of shadow on) and a decent mel blades tk thermal d build
"I beat 32F the day the game came out, you can do better" 🤣
Do you remember your hel build? Im struggling real bad
/would like poseidon attack static shock air quality + blitz specials be enough? Maybe get Hestia for steam/thermal d
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
Yeah Thermal Dynamics seems to be the easiest way to get through
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
Damn well done, gramps got mogged not even on the damage board
Yeah I had Timer 2 since I was getting used to Hel at that point. So I just took my time with grandpa
Im just tryna clear 32 surface fear, did u even use much of the o special ?
Not really tbh
I figure
There's some fun builds where you can Omega special and immediately activate your Hex like Wolf Howl
Yeah that seems neat, but the actual valkyrie mode from the aspect doesnt seem like a very powerful gimmick
Omega special can be nice for turning that Attack into machine gun. Especially with sanguinary savor
Though I don't really like Ares that much these days tbh 😅
tbh only reason i take ares now is for speedruns for heinous affront
^this
Im actually so sad they took away mortal gain
Such a cool boon, they could have done a percent or something for the prime
Yeah legit. I don't even get excited about seeing Ares in my pool anymore 😭
i started hades 2 at unseen, what was he like back then?
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
oh they did ares so dirty
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
Just had a decent Supay run whilst trying to keep the Crimson dress intact. Shame about the 4 damage 😭
V cool run
Imma try sending a hel run before 1.0, its my only 32f clear remaining for the surface
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
I had about 120ish armour after Fields so I was like "Sure whynot" 😂
