[lucid fjord]

all in the same run, fun game

[open talon]

yay

[rare parcel]

First time making a Chaos Below run, first time using the Strength Arcana, first time I received no damage on this battle (but I dodged damage, so I guess hence the dialog)

[random stag]

favorite Supay build rn, a little Exodia tbh

[fossil laurel]

Gone but not forgetten pre-nerfed Static Shock

[olive vigil]

That feeling when a 30 yard field goal would have been good from 50

[rocky steppe]

@long kelp

[long kelp]

LET’S GO

[rocky steppe]

Clutched up first try

[long kelp]

Congrats 🎉

You absolutely clutched it up first try

Absolute cinema

[rocky steppe]

that's my third charon run ever lmao

[long kelp]

LOL the 32 fear SENT me

[rocky steppe]

look i only took 799 damage

[long kelp]

Yeah definitely not concerning or anything

Blackened fleece was a great pick up

[rocky steppe]

normally i never take it but i was at 400 damage after cerb so

[long kelp]

Yeah good choice though

[rocky steppe]

Getting closer to 32 fear on all aspects

can't wait to play this on surface

[long kelp]

Hype hype hype

Good luck with the future runs

[maiden fox]

custom coated...? (can anyone tell me what this means)

[rocky steppe]

tyty

[rocky steppe]

finished the run with armour

[rocky steppe]

You can tell who my favourite rivals boss is

[rain fjord]

these boons were absolute insanity

[noble ginkgo]

lol knuckle bone deal over 9k damage

[brazen zinc]

💀 Eris did the most to me despite Prometheus and Typhon existing

[rich rapids]

400 shield, 200hp. fun time

[wary fog]

than axe is shockingly potent with poseidon holy moly, that typhon fight felt unfair (omega attack, base attack is only number 1 because of seething marauder)

[bleak plaza]

EVERYTHING hit my Attack Boon lol

[slim dune]

Holy how are you guys going this ham with the builds I really need to get a stat beyond crit fishing in region 1 and rolling from there

[orchid tartan]

Hi! It pops by itself ^^

[pliant tiger]

my second 50 fear underworld clear

[steady hornet]

Went for a very greedy run and it really paid off XD

[pliant tiger]

my boy chronos took like a solid four minutes to beat cuz i had max grit

[latent tangle]

32 fear underworld conquered finally!

[mighty wing]

huzzah

[winter compass]

Do you ever win a run when you absolutely should not have because i played this like a dog but got away with it

[delicate leaf]

https://tenor.com/view/the-universe-tim-and-eric-mind-blown-mind-blown-meme-mind-explosion-mind-explosion-meme-gif-18002878

Exceptional Talent with Charon Axe

[winter compass]

I had the boon from zeus that deploys your cast instantly at target, so since i had giga cleaver and exceptional talent i could drop my cast multiple times in each special and have it pop repeatedly, leaving behind all my after-cast stuff and restoring my magick. Ill post some clips in the build channel later it was so cathartic

[pliant tiger]

i mean, you had five dds so you were gonna eventually win

[winter compass]

this is true, Im glad I didnt abandon the run after i wasted two defiances not paying attention in the first region

[pliant tiger]

how did u lose two dds in ephyra

[delicate leaf]

The Zeus boon that does the insta cast is Lighting Lance right? I never use it, so I had no idea it had any synergy

[winter compass]

i was on the phone and fighting boar with shadow guardians idk man i wasnt invested at the time

[pliant tiger]

makes sense

the erymanthian boar (pardon my spelling if i get it wrong) is a pain in the ass with shadow on

[winter compass]

he even made it onto the top damage dealers list lol

[delicate leaf]

Boar doing almost the same damage as Prometheus is hilarious lol

[bleak plaza]

I hecking love Success Rate

[winter compass]

but did he see it coming

[bleak plaza]

also I forgot Moros Pin disabled Strength

[delicate leaf]

I lost a 32 fear run once cause of that actually

I never forgot afterwards that traumatized me for life

[pliant tiger]

im pissed

i did a 51 fear mel staff run, i lost all my dds to scylla to refill them all with athena

athena scammed me in fields

echo scammed me as well

[pliant tiger]

sidenote: i rerolled THREE TIMES

[delicate leaf]

If only you had that fourth reroll, oh well

But seriously wow, that's unlucky

[pliant tiger]

i guess athena was pissed that i ||took arachnes side instead of hers||

[delicate leaf]

Lol the idea that she actively avoids giving you the boons you want just cause you said to the screen something like "Actually I think Arachne is right on this one" is really funny

[bold fulcrum]

I don't think I did too bad on this one

[muted lion]

Persephone'd Sea Star

[remote tundra]

JUST DEFEATED TYPHON FOR THE 5TH TIME! The climactic defeat, too-- I also so love how I narratively ended up putting each of the 5 eldest gods (sans Hades) for all 5 of my main boons especially for this particular run! And they all worked amazingly, too, their respective and Duo boons- my fastest run so far, too!
⚡❄️🌊🦚🔥

[arctic wedge]

Is this pig okay?

[pliant tiger]

LETS GO BABYYYYYYYYY 55 FEAR UNDERWORLD BEATEN, NEW FEAR PB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bleak plaza]

Dracon is insane actually

Typhon actually not on the board for damage lmao

[lament canyon]

First 40 Fear surface win. 50 next ?
https://youtu.be/y15a487zFgY?si=GQPUNE7rC51NdDoo

[rough briar]

thank you zag for the heroic success rate

[arctic wedge]

Typhon Eradicated!! the beast is no more!

[pliant tiger]

my gameplay footage: https://youtu.be/y8i_01qM6nY?si=vjgM3_ci7fIbn6Kt

[reef juniper]

a bit of an overkill for my first clear lol

[flat hill]

Loving the game so far, got my first clear

[barren nimbus]

finally beat typhon in my new v1.0 save, i struggle so much with this fight oh my god

it took me like five death defiances :')

[bleak plaza]

I love parent pommy so much

[reef juniper]

well the 2nd one followed soon after. its the same build, but much more heavily reliant on the special, as the damage illustrates lol

[keen furnace]

I summon the DEvilllll

[white badge]

finally 24f surface

[hollow tendon]

Nergal is just so fun, final boss got burst to death

[slow atlas]

just wanted to show off my clear time since I think it's kinda quick (I love speeding casually)

[bright garnet]

finallly i got him hell yea

[brazen zinc]

I think this was my best run yet damage wise!

[hollow tendon]

And f16! Got the second trophy!

[remote tundra]

Wow! 🌊

[brave vortex]

first tier 4 rivals clear on epilogue for me, not much changed

[swift sierra]

48 fear, died to chronos 4 times before I finally got this one 😁

[elder ermine]

F you eris

[split raptor]

Axe do damage ❤️

[vagrant flower]

first hel surface win. felt really good

[subtle gulch]

That was my fastest victory on Typhon, and I am not exactly sure why, especially that I was using the +HP vow. Tried to pin the relevant info on the build screen. I'm wondering if it was Incandescent aura maybe? Looking at the damage inflicted, Im not sure what would this one count towards, any idea?

[thorn wolf]

aspect of moros just goes pretty hard

[subtle gulch]

Okay so not incandescent aura fault? :p

[fading summit]

this is not a victory in the sense that i actually won, but in a sense that i got to Chronos in a relatively few atempts, and got to his second stage first try. im proud of myself, and remember kids, always believe in yoursel

[wide moth]

Just beat the surface for the first time, woooo

[gaunt elm]

About time I can do this!

[lime oar]

Just beat 24 fear surface for the first time. medea didn't really click with me until this run I think

The zeus/ares duo boon is actually criminal who thought this was a good idea

One half of third trophy down

[mental moss]

lots of poms

[eager pendant]

Did all achievement.

[lime oar]

grats

[vital perch]

holy damage batman

[lost ore]

man i loved this build
hitch plus shimmering rockets is insane at clearing large groups

[coral sphinx]

This was such a fun build!!

The aspect of Charon has so much burst damage!

[lofty oriole]

Whew. Cut it real close here 😬

50 Fear Moros

[graceful veldt]

It was low fear but I'll still boast about deciding dodging attacks isn't that important.

another fun fact tied to that run

[burnt turtle]

first win in full release

[solemn meteor]

aaaaaaand thats nights champion statue 3 aquired. second screenshot shows fear mods used (first surface run win for full release)

[patent shore]

Third Victory in Tartarus. This time using ardent Skull and was the first time I used that in a run.

[strange loom]

Finally beat Rivals 4 Typhon. Demeter + Knuckle Bones go brrr

[spring gyro]

Only way to grab these screenshots as soon as we clear?

I just had the most insane Greater Chaos Below. It gave me Ankh staff, burned 3 death defiance in Erebos and nearly quit. Said F it and just kept going. Got all Zeus boons including his legendary. Absolutely annihilated and it was so fun! And I hate that staff lol.

AND it was the run for my 100% achievement too.

[burnt turtle]

first 2 wins were back to back, is grandpa washed?

[mental moss]

fun combination that we can make now

[stray flicker]

chased for an achivement that doesnt exist for three days but here we are 32 fear surface with heph attack+hestia+posedion duo

[regal perch]

a bad bad run. Did this to test prominence flare, and it took forever to get, so I might as well finish it.
Surface, 22f morrigan, Rivals 1

[rocky steppe]

yeah not the best boons for mog

[paper harbor]

No Trace Of Typhon Remains, they say. <looks askance at Godsent Nightbloom Polyp that will never die>

[gilded ravine]

bring it home as a pet

6th familiar

[regal perch]

I literally just took whatever BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WOULD END IT EARLY

[gilded ravine]

should've gotten glorious disaster then discover that the 15 initial charge doesn't actually count for the omega and you have to charge another 45 just to get the omega in

[gilded ravine]

frinos ascending

[regal perch]

is there any way to interact with those squiggly eyeball things

or is it just "wait 2 seconds for it to time out"

[gilded ravine]

squiggly eyeball where

[mental moss]

no hit typhon and no hit chronos back to back

[regal perch]

in typhon fight, the one he drops point blank after eggs 2

why you asking here (Bird/Cat, Zeus/Hestia cast)

[gilded ravine]

uhh like the slowly falling things that have spinny things

[hasty wren]

OH sorry, didnt mean to

[regal perch]

uh yeah

[gilded ravine]

i just camp in the bottom of the stage when they fall

he does the move for like 4 or 5 secs at frenzy 2 so i just do damage in that window

[regal perch]

oh you can bait it?

I thought they always just hit right in front of him

I've tried to run and it seemed super sticky to his face

[gilded ravine]

this is the falling eggs where when they land to the ground they each explode into two spinny guys right

[regal perch]

yeah

he kinda alternates it with the tentacle waves

[gilded ravine]

yea he has an extremely long telegraph for it

[regal perch]

yeah

[gilded ravine]

so i do damage during that telegraph before dipping to the bottom of the stage, since they always land in typhon's face

[regal perch]

oh gotcha
no way to prevent it 🙁

[gilded ravine]

so ye it's unpreventable

they should add typhon combobreaker...

[fluid helm]

does anyone know if u can resummon chronos with night bloom i messed up and used it right before he died

[wary crypt]

Machine gunning with skull feels so damn good

[mental moss]

godammit

[rare parcel]

Thanks, Godsent Moon Water for letting me take so much damage lol

[rocky steppe]

How do you even take that much damage from typhon, did you not dodge at all

[rare parcel]

I got overeliant of Moon Water lol

[glad iron]

Fastest time yet

[forest sphinx]

I keep thinking I should turn down the Fear so that I can actually finish the story

and then I get runs like this cakewalk

[shut onyx]

IT TOOK ME LIKE 17 TRIES BUT I FINALLY FCKING BEAT TYPHON LETS GOOO

[quasi cove]

Unga Bunga.

[gilded ravine]

not exactly a victory, this is the furthest i've gotten at 67f (died to cerb)

[regal perch]

how rng is 67f rn

[gilded ravine]

i'd say 30% of runs make it past erebus, this is the only one that made it past scylla

i've had only 2 or 3 runs out of like i'd say 5 hours so far? that had busted builds but fumbled at scylla

cuz i literally can't see anything

[regal perch]

so it's hella rng, gotcha

[gilded ravine]

very

[regal perch]

thank you rivals scylla for existing

[gilded ravine]

banger song tho, just wish the visuals were actually adjusted to be readable with everything going on

[regal perch]

is it just a visual thing? I feel like it's just too many projectiles going in random directions to be consistent

[gilded ravine]

it's both that and also literally everything is pink so it's extremely hard to tell where things are

like look at this clip

[regal perch]

thie white spotlight really doesn't help lmao

[gilded ravine]

fr

[regal perch]

wait what even killed you

[gilded ravine]

exactly it took me like 3 rewatches to figure out what hit me

[regal perch]

oh an arrow inbetween the slow balls

which was masked by mel's dash trail

[gilded ravine]

yup

[regal perch]

it's almost comical how well it overlaps

[bleak spruce]

New record fear I love the Moros aspect dawg

[wary fog]

zeus really feels like the best way to play pan ngl (also traps did 34k?? where did that come from)

[ripe seal]

62F melinoe flames with O-ATK instead of the specials. New Lucid Gain is incredible. That's 3 out of the 6 weapons 62 in 1.0 and 4 of 6 including EA

[rare parcel]

That run was to make that Minor Prophecy about Oddyseus and Polyphemus, and ended being a strong Aspect of Medea run, look at that damage modifier

[hidden trout]

Only way i managed to defeat rivals Typhon was with god mode and a horribly made build

[vagrant granite]

I slowly up the fear. Rivals Polyphemus sucks

[olive vigil]

1-0 vs upper redacted and 5-1 vs lower redacted

[regal bear]

its pretty ez to have high nightmare ever since they added the vow of rivals. i personally had a way harder time just cutting my arcana in half and using hades' card. kinda hard to go back now that the pom keepsake is a thing tho.

[rocky steppe]

What fear setup are you using

[rocky steppe]

Well that's certainly interesting

[regal bear]

like it would be objectively way harder if i used 2 fear to halve my max arcana or 6 to increase enemy speed

[rocky steppe]

Max frenzy is easy compared to what you're doing lmao

That's my normal fear setup

[regal bear]

haha the bosses aren't that bad after you get used to them and maybe i just have ptsd from forced overtime in hades 1 that I'm scared of frenzy

also screw debt i hate that one so much cuz i love having 40 boons

[rocky steppe]

I turned on frenzy when I unlocked the pact and have never taken it or the timer off

[regal bear]

alr i'll turn on frenzy to see wassup but me and the timer just don't vibe. I like to be able to think about my choices without spamming the pause button or just staring at the art. Plus gathering resources but that's not a problem now that the gaia incantation is a thing

[rocky steppe]

I don't spam the pause button i'm not that sweaty but fair enough

[bleak plaza]

WHOA Circe

[wary fog]

big crit omega attack run for the chaos achievement (thanks echo for the beach ball)

[cerulean mesa]

First surface win!

[bleak plaza]

Typhon got schooled

[orchid horizon]

Hell yeah

[copper mason]

In perfect health! I didn't take any damage at all, trust

[gilded ravine]

seems legit

[gentle depot]

I was gonna try Demeter on Pan soon, I do enjoy freezing dudes

[royal elbow]

yay first chronos murder in 1.0

[lethal flicker]

almost a hair's breadth title, heh

[novel stream]

first tried Typhon, my god this game is amazing

[lethal flicker]

you avoided his mighty chin, probably

[novel stream]

Maybe, I'm gonna rewatch the fight (thanks Steam). Momus Staff + ranged omega cast is so good against him though, so much passive damage.

[blissful yacht]

I feel kinda bad about that one, having needed to use god mode

But gsus do I hate Typhon. I don't know how to read him :(
So this was still satisfying as heck >:3

[cerulean mesa]

2nd win in a row!

[inner moat]

Does 100% count as a victory ??

[bleak plaza]

20 Fear Judgement run victory, gave me 10 rolls in Tartarus which I immediately used to force Athena

also had 700 bucks in Paid Dues

[lethal flicker]

someone failed a doomed chaos curse... lol

[bleak plaza]

turns out Doomed is pretty hard when you're fighting Scylla LOL

[lethal flicker]

ooopsie

[bleak plaza]

but it procced the damage when I was at like 10HP so it's fine, I had 4 lives left

[stark gazelle]

moon water is so good lmao, went out with full health

[wispy isle]

idk if it's impressive but I got 17 wins in a row 🗿

[copper mason]

such a free win with all the dodges

i didnt even have the weasel

or whatever pet gives dodge

[remote tundra]

First Moonstone Axe clear! Also the third time I ever used it cause it is my weakest weapon (post-game now), did not expect that my casual run for a first tryout of Toula and picking up the Axe again would actually lead to a Typhon/Olympus clear out of all things!

[merry ledge]

2nd win against Chronos. I had all DD and was super confident, to the point I chose Moros' keepsake at level one just to level it, instead of the leveled tooth. I then lost all my DD on phase 2 and was left on 2hp while Chronos had around 15%... I somehow LOCKED IN and squeezed the win. Such a thrill 😭 still shaking

[bleak plaza]

damn the damage was through the roof

[keen spruce]

hell yeah, surface run for 2nd statue done and dusted

[cerulean mesa]

4 streak so far, 3 surface 1 underworld. Might be time to increase heat

[rocky steppe]

Glad to see ur doing well

[cerulean mesa]

Match history looking good

[rocky steppe]

Hell yeah

[thick wyvern]

Had a lot of fun with this build

[wispy isle]

Just beat fear 32 first try

[pliant tiger]

idk if this counts as a victory since i eventually lost to chronos but i got to chronos without losing any death defiances on 58 fear!!!

[wispy isle]

Legend!

[lofty oriole]

Oof that’s rough. What weapon?

[pliant tiger]

medea

was running hera attack zeus spesh

[lofty oriole]

Nice nice 🙏

I just lost a 55F Eos to Chronos 3rd phase with 4 DDs last night so I feel that too 😭

[pliant tiger]

hopefully well both beat chronos' ass so hard next time

[lofty oriole]

Ugh I hope so. Erebus is always so rough for me 😭

[keen spruce]

🔥

[lofty oriole]

Congrats on the achievement 👏

Now for the 3rd statue? 😄

[keen spruce]

maybe one day xD, ||32|| fear sounds pretty insane lol

[pliant tiger]

imo p2 is harder than p3 without deep dissent cuz of those healing thingies chronos sends, theyre a pain in the ass to kill whilst having dodge chronos himself AS WELL as those clock hands that spawn on stage

lost most of my dds there

was running pain 2 and a single clock hand hit dealt 70 damage

[prisma fox]

2nd surface run ever lets go :DDD no fear but still my heart almost broke down

[lofty oriole]

Yeah those are a pain in the ass for me too. I do hate phase 3 just for his beams where you’re forced to run in circles

Ran out of time cuz of that 😵‍💫

[burnt latch]

Shiva with -60% magic spend is absolutely insane (please ignore my horrible VR Prometheus)

[lofty oriole]

Sheeesh +90%

[burnt latch]

Transcendent Embryo ftw!

[prisma fox]

i got glory victory screen before i could get any of the weapon aspects 😭

[lethal flicker]

Plus 130%

[pliant tiger]

for me that part isnt really all that bad, in all my experience of fighting rivals chronos i only got hit by that once

i think

[burnt latch]

If you're playing on VR4 and your build doesn't make short work of Chronos phase 2, you're probably screwed anyway tbh

[pliant tiger]

to be fair i only had hera attack zeus special and static shock for my offensive boons

for room clear it was amazing

bossing was fine ig

i just got overwhelmed by the amount of things chronos puts up on the screen

and thats coming from a dude who barely took any damage on rivals scylla on 58 fear

i think thats enough hades 2 for today, i feel very very sad after losing that run

[manic relic]

so many infusions

[valid beacon]

Finally beat my old health record :D
Apparently you can tank the oneshot for real

[pliant tiger]

my god thats a lotta health

if only you had mutual destruction

[umbral laurel]

First 16 fear Surface clear

[pliant tiger]

now that i think about it, i had gift gift gift hit engraved pin... i shouldve gone with going for renewed faith alongside engraved pin

what an oversight

[static portal]

super narrow victory on the surface, first one though

[dawn lantern]

Mom+Dad Pom gave me Howling Soul when I was playing Pan, which is not a choice I woulda gone with, but it was pretty fun

[pliant tiger]

got the vod right here if anyone here wants to know how i fumbled chronos: https://youtu.be/UcaxWw34ckY

[wispy isle]

:D

[azure bridge]

Just had a nice low fear fun run with crazy DPS

[void swallow]

Got a Night 3 win on a fresh save
got Aphrodite Special at Epic-->sacrifice Apollo for Heroic
if I was super cool and brave I woulda stuck with Aphro but I really wanted the range and didn't get my Dash-Strike hammer yet Orz

[worldly sierra]

new time record for me on an aspect i dont use much

[lunar coral]

rivals chronos got coocked
7 infusions💀
also didnt use any of my healing hex

[boreal oak]

Somehow accidentally did a no hit chronos run

[eager pendant]

My first 1.0 32f clear.

[rare parcel]

This was my dream Persephone run, holy...

[gray tulip]

Playing since Saturday; first downstairs victory today.

Special thanks to Giga Moonburst with Apollo Flourish for very good DPS early on. Special un-thanks to Shimmering Moonshot for really kneecapping the aforementioned. But I made it work.

[lethal flicker]

new thanatos is faaaaast

[desert moon]

love a good Unrivaled Chronos nuke

[dense vigil]

i'm noob at dodging so i just refused to dodge

[wise idol]

won at the last second with 4Pv left. Felt my heart drop

[hollow ember]

well, this slaps hard

[upper mountain]

so aspect of hel is pretty funny

argent skull more like argent minigun

[dense vigil]

Did you have lightning lance? I got that combo once, basically Cast -> Omg Spec -> spam Cast. Fun af xD

[hollow ember]

yep, just spammed cast after omega special

[rocky swift]

never using this weapon again (first try)

[copper mason]

typhon eradicated baby

[vestal helm]

With over 3000 Spare gold I think was the most hilarious casual run ive gotten in a long time

[elder ermine]

2253 damage suffered is not my best work
200k from attack and 100k from omega attack, in the other hand...

[gilded ravine]

new 67f pb

hera w/ double hammer does really good on its own, got blast late game but can't scale due to no %s so didn't really do much other than poke

[burnt turtle]

chronos is very fun to bully after unhealthy amounts of practice in EA

[icy tartan]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/348151957111701517/1423440338210783333/image.png

Now I need a vacation.

[patent thunder]

My first clear 🥹 crazy ass attack build..also clip of me beating cerb in less than a minute from the same run

[gloomy glen]

level 9 epic cast from jeweled + persphones effect stacking, sacrificed into level 11 smoldering ring then doubled with echo. Even at 295 damage/s it was slower then the ring applied its damage and sadly didnt see pyro technice until chronos: Hecate out damaging chronos on rivals 4 is also hillarious

[quasi cove]

Unga Bunga.

[glossy rain]

[north dune]

Took more damage from Hecate than from Cronos

[umbral laurel]

New PB on final story run wooo

[scenic dock]

warming up

[hidden eagle]

Grinding out wins for plot, got a sub 1 minute gramps kill with Charon

[flat aurora]

If you ever have issues in this game, just use circe staff and night bloom lol

[vapid igloo]

too much power makes me play dum

[wary fulcrum]

13th night

[rare parcel]

80 Magick to use an Omega Special btw, and I recovered as if it were nothing lmao

[lime oar]

FINALLY cleared Fear 32 underworld

All it took was me admitting defeat and taking off strength and putting on defiances

no rival hec also helps

im never doing this again

[atomic ermine]

My first time beating chronos

[sick oyster]

Congrats on slaying grandpa!

[velvet iron]

Thanks for the ride, SGG. Love this game to bits

[oak peak]

the exceedingly rare 100% plasma saturation + arachne dress

[faint inlet]

The 4th nightmare boss is so insanely hard.

[void dock]

IN EREBUS MY FIRST TIME BEATING HIM

i consider this a victory

[grizzled slate]

https://youtu.be/9NshCC7K91w?si=f1beYpbNBQOL2mSl i beat max fear 😄

[copper salmon]

Congratulations boated! We salute night’s champion 🫡

[solemn bay]

A total of 52% crit (thanatos+night both fully upgraded with success rate) chance on a faster, massively empowered attack; daze, psychic whirlwind letting me dash during it, and dark side (with psychic whirlwind you can keep attack up during dark side) helping me avoid damage to keep mortality up. Prometheus fight was over before I could blink. This may be my new favorite build

[dapper crystal]

Achieved this victory.. pulverized the entire overworld final boss in under 2 minutes thanks to an incredible loadout!

[rare parcel]

Honestly, a bit impressed the Blasts did not do the max damage, I guess Melinoë skull's damage bonus is that good?

[steep canyon]

absolutely insane, my heart was racing like crazy when you fell to 7 hp in p3 chronos

[void dock]

:3

[vagrant granite]

16 Fear Underworld clear. Rivals Scylla was really fun.

[worldly sierra]

holy cooking

[last lantern]

I beat Chronos for the first time!! And on my switch 2!! I was so excited! Many more victories to come “death to Chronos”

[sick oyster]

Congrats!

[onyx plinth]

underworld isnt very hard

well not anymore at least after all my runs

that was first try

[brazen zinc]

One down, one more to go.

[sick oyster]

Have fun!

[rare parcel]

Accidental Hex run

[shy venture]

first rivals against typhon (dont look at how much damage he did)

[sick oyster]

how did you survive?

[rare parcel]

Moon Water has done it again (I have been carried by it so much lol)

[main drift]

ilysm Heinous Affront <3
loving the new keepsake (only unlocked one so far), getting used to fear again after taking a while off from this game to finish Silksong and work on personal life stuff. also zero damage Typhon for once, hell yeah (it's def because I'm at frenzy 1 and rivals 2 but shhh)

[void dock]

fun plasma build

[brazen zinc]

I LOVE FRINOS THEY'RE MY GOAT
-# they were moral support

[wraith monolith]

Kitty saved my run

[remote narwhal]

finallyyyyy that took a while

[blissful tundra]

My first 62f of 1.0 and (I think???) the first surface 62f clear w Moros

https://youtu.be/Mx_KLnmEm40?si=pL8ws0mWsyUR-9Rn

[graceful epoch]

I DID IT, FINALLY GOT MY MOROS 62F AFTER SO MANY CLOSE CALLS!!! (new keepsake spoilers)

[blissful yacht]

hell yes

[sick oyster]

congrats

[maiden sparrow]

holy moly, typhon is hella strong

[blissful yacht]

He is, it's disgusting, honestly
Makes it all the more rewarding, tho

[maiden sparrow]

yeah feels so good to finally beat this guy

he got so much hp

[cinder hull]

Beautiful R4 run thanks to Jeweled Pom being absolutely insane lmao

[bleak plaza]

brutal swings

[warm bramble]

Finally beat the 32F underworld ! Damn that felt good

(Yeah im french haha)

[pliant tiger]

wasn't there like a pin for foolish's max fear clear? mods should probs pin this too

[split raptor]

can somebody tell me, what the little icon next to the Healthbar indicates?

[winged sigil]

your death defiances

[split raptor]

oh thanks

[split raptor]

I see your clearing speeds are all below 25min.
Does it affect the fight against Chronos, wether i go the express path directly or collect more boons around them?

[pliant tiger]

nah

[coral matrix]

Taking the rewards paths in Tartarus only increases the number of enemy spawns in subsequent rooms, excluding Chronos

[pliant tiger]

yeah what dino said, the more rooms you take the harder the rooms get is what i understand

[ruby tusk]

5 Hammers

[velvet karma]

Kinda proud of taking 0 damage from Typhon on Rivals 4, Frenzy 2 (Chronos did get a couple hits in though).

[brazen sentinel]

Here's a little Surface run of mine I wanted to share. It was done in July this year, between patches 10 and 11. Aim of that run : as much max health as I could get...

[warm bramble]

Damn that's crazy

[vapid temple]

now who's the king of all monsters

[split raptor]

new best time, 24 minutes 🙂
daggers are soo smooth

[mighty wing]

wacky 7:13 axe run

[cosmic creek]

I didnt realize until I got to tartarus that my Omega attack was actually nuking everyone from orbit

[outer totem]

FIRST FIGHT SDLKFJDSLFJ

[scenic dock]

Typhon easy gg

[outer totem]

ares is op

[mental ginkgo]

Make arterial spray change every splash to red not just the bonus ones pls

[static portal]

I <3 Heroic steady Growth

[molten niche]

32 heat my goodness

[steady moon]

OMG I WANT IT I WANT IT
GIVE MERCH

[harsh cargo]

Finally done!

[sleek brook]

Well, I wasn't aware you could have a second page for boons

[copper mason]

level 13, nice

[steady moon]

W

[sleek brook]

How many boons did I want ? yes

[steady moon]

its possible to get multiple pages of boons ^^

well its mainly achieved with upgrading moon power to the max since it takes many boon slots

bro got style

[sleek brook]

Well, the screenshot I share did have two pages of boons indeed :) But yeah, it's mainly Selene, I shared it for the fun of it

[steady moon]

oh shiiiii i missed it haha sorry

[desert moon]

you know you're dash-striking a lot when you get AthenaRushProjectile in the top five

[steady moon]

guys im missing 4, i know one is hercules but i cant figure out the 3 others? any hint if its something i misssed and not an endgame offering that i just havent met yet?

(i finished the main story now im working on night missions / void challenges / locating the fates / waking up the dude)

[wary fog]

might not be the channel for this, probably fits a little better in #h2-discussion but those last 4 are heracles and then post-credits characters ||hades+persephone, zag, and chronos||

[blissful tundra]

1. Gift UW Region 4 NPC chamber
2. A firey piece of paper should sometimes spawn in midshops for Erebus, Oceanus, Thesally and Olympus. Pick it up and be prepared to fight, you need to win at least twice (need not be consecutive)
3. Last character will show up occasionally in region transition room from Erebus to Oceanus, you can gift them there

[steady moon]

Thanks for the spoiler alert tags ill keep playing and eventually meet them!

[lucid peak]

Death defiances are overrated
First surface run this profile; only losses so far are to the surface for the initial 2 moss

[pallid burrow]

wait im goated? nights 17 and 18, respectively

[gloomy glen]

game does not like droplet + maxed out plasma also quad crit effects

[torpid python]

got the 20 fear random run even with the game trying to make me lose by giving me Artemis keepsake in Tartarus

[ornate harness]

First clear

[quartz lintel]

Charon ax is so good

[nocturne wedge]

first 32 fear clear
long overdue for me, a few runs before I accidentally did 31 fear because I did some changes and didnt notice they didnt add up to 32 and had an insane run but I got it now so it dont matter

[grave whale]

had a really fun run today

[blissful girder]

ahhh I’ve just defeated typhon for the first time in the same run as defeating Prometheus for the first time!!!

the legendary boon from Hera and light smite really saved me.. this was an incredible build idk if im ever gonna be able to get back to the palace.. its so beautiful lol

[steady moon]

@vague pine

[steady moon]

i love how balanced your damage is! gg!

[sand glade]

First successful surface run. Zeus legendary boon is helpful even for boss fight plus aspect of circe with storm ring is busted

[quartz lintel]

Who even needs to “move” or “learn enemy attack patterns”

[scenic dock]

Erradicado

[manic relic]

god i LOVE omega attack spam with the torches

[scenic ice]

hermes legendary + 1500 gold = very free damageless rivals 4 typhon

[brazen glade]

new max hp record for me

only way to get higher i think is if hestia was heph

[upper mountain]

second super-grandpa down

take a shower you stinky boy

[blissful girder]

thank you!! It’s not usually that balanced but this was almost a totally perfect run

[nocturne nimbus]

first typhon win on my full release save!!!

[sharp glacier]

Cast go burrrr bless kings ransom and bridal glow storm ring hit

[velvet karma]

Anyone else like me who really like one specific aspect?

[fallow falcon]

Got to see the credits today!

Looking forward to seeing what the next journey is about now since this 😁:

[lime oar]

HEINOUS AFFRONT IS A BALANCED DUO BOON

MEDEA SKULL IS A BALANCED ASPECT

BLITZ IS A BALANCED CURSE

would love to see other "on getting hit" effects added to the game bc as it stands its just light smite and divine vengeance for damage. the plasma one is good too. but maybe thatd make heinous affront too good. which it isnt. its balanced. surely.

[abstract axle]

Zeus Knives too powerful

[floral elm]

Everyone needs to try this build at some point

[tidal lotus]

ladies and gentlemen, we gottem. 298 hours.

[rugged belfry]

Got my first hitless final underworld fight 😄

[coral matrix]

My first time seeing "mega infused"

wait, there's a second page

[tender grotto]

after 15 hours I finally beat chronos

[agile pollen]

You can get another cast in after the first special triggers/removes it and it’ll blow that one up too 🙂 timing is tight but easy on immobile Typhon

[hasty wren]

CLEARED TYPHON FOR THE FIRST TIME! WITH YOUR BUILD @main drift @narrow wolf
took like 5 tries for me to get every boon but it was worth, felt awesome to play

dude that slow hex made it so much cooler cuz i was using so much mana that i was getting hex over and over again within seconds

[digital jolt]

just got all achievements!

[main drift]

HELL YEAH omg and for a first typhon clear!!!! I'm glad you had fun, I love that build and the specific set up you used looks extra fun to me w zeus specials and froth!

[dense cave]

[hasty wren]

mhm it was great, thanks for the suggestion

[cinder hull]

55F first try this update

[half gate]

My first clear using the Fear system

[rocky steppe]

What vows?

[smoky valley]

All rivals defeated

[ripe seal]

Nergal 62 Underworld done - only skull and coat remain. Howling Soul went through an entire character arc on stream - from costing me runs to winning me runs.

[slow python]

not a victory board though but still : D

[half gate]

I forgot lol

[white badge]

statue#3 unlocked, got 4 demeters with mom pom in erebus and 4th was a lego that i didn't even forgetmenot

should be noted that sprouted o-special was not used ONCE in this run bc all the gods offered up till fields were %dmg and no olympian damage 😭

[snow knoll]

not a victory, but i thought this was pretty cool

[gilded ravine]

raw

[strong cargo]

post ending spoilers ||if you get the judgement arcana on, top of you normal arcana loadout, and are at fates' whim, the game will refuse to give you any rerolls so you do not lose your effects. in case anyone was wondering||

[edgy gale]

finally! first time beating Chronos

[nocturne nimbus]

I looooooove air quality

[graceful epoch]

@rocky steppe lied to me, Heph cast on Circe is good

[rocky steppe]

I love spreading misinformation on the internet

[graceful epoch]

I can't believe you'd lie online 😔

[mighty wing]

first 60f clear

[remote tundra]

Heph Bombs on the Argent Skull really is a different kind of fun! 💀🌋 Especially boosted early on by Persephone, too~ Also was a fun immunity run with Gale + Lovers

[graceful epoch]

A 60! Interesting. Which vows did you not pick?

[mighty wing]

here

my main problem was that i kept timing out in erebus so i had to adjust grit and horde around a bit

[graceful epoch]

Ohh, that's very interesting! Thanks for sharing

[stray sundial]

who gives the all together skill?

[pliant tiger]

hera

[stray sundial]

got it, thanks.

[twin root]

hi, i just beat the game, and wondering if there is any more point in playing the game, are there harder versions of the bosses that can be unlocked? I have not played hades 1 so dont know how "endgame" works

[graceful epoch]

By "beat the game', what do you mean exactly? Have you killed Chronos once? Reached the True Ending?

But to answer your question, yes you can unlock harder versions of bosses

[twin root]

i got end screen with rolling names

[graceful epoch]

There's still a story epilogue you can do. Without spoiling things, take a look at your Fated List

[twin root]

is there anything encounter wise that awaits me or is it just do prophecies for achis

[graceful epoch]

There's a secret encounter you haven't seen and the harder versions of bosses you should eventually be able to unlock

[twin root]

what makes them harder

do they hit harder, or new movesets

[main drift]

different for each boss! but it's not just "they have more HP and deal more damage," they all change in more interesting ways than that

[twin root]

coolers

[white badge]

this and braveface, i swear i took it but i couldnt find it, i was rolling my face on controller dodging like it costs money

[twin root]

guess ill keep playing hades 2 instead of going into 1

[main drift]

was it on page 2 of boons? since I see you have one 👀 I get a second page so rarely I forget it's a thing sometimes lol
also good run, crazy Ω spec damage!!

[white badge]

lucky to have gotten aphro by chance again, mom pom run

finally it's at lvl3, i did indeed see a lvl9 boon offered right off the bat

[twin root]

is it a huge effort to unlock?

[graceful epoch]

I think the encounter should just be a matter of randomness, and with the harder versions of bosses I'm not sure since my EA save met the requirements the moment they added that to the game. Also we should probably move this to #h2-builds-and-combat

[tame relic]

King's ransom is so fun to playwith

[white ferry]

Most insane build ive ever done. Killed chronos phase 2 in less then 10 secs.

[blissful yacht]

How on earth do you get so many poms, wth?? :0

[dense vigil]

Charon always impressive, it helped me take down Chronos w/o getting hit at all in phase 3

[dense vigil]

queen ransom + pom pom pom

[oblique path]

We in this with some Sub 8 Minute Runs

[maiden sparrow]

crazy run, got the legendary at the end and melted typhon

[lethal flicker]

Burninating the coutnryside

[frosty timber]

First fresh file win - I'm pretty pleased with having done it with Eris curse (though it was only from Tartarus on), didn't even see her curse at all last save file 😄

[coarse goblet]

i wasnt even trying for this, i just got the armor boon from hephaestus

and was like

"im getting to chronos with my gold dress"

i dont have her keepsake either. i wasnt expecting dialogue from the bosses

day 5 btw

[torn quarry]

Beat Chronos for the first time last night and I feel insane Heph gave me so many shields

[keen cliff]

Managed to get the crimson dress all the way to chronos somehow and beat him without breaking it 😤

[real igloo]

Got my first victory 🥹

Man that was so fun

[unkempt obsidian]

Finally i madde a run work with Circe xD

[rocky steppe]

Based storm ring run

[unkempt obsidian]

Very but after I failed 7 times with omega cast, i made a run with normal cast and had 0 issues

[rocky steppe]

Yippie

[lean walrus]

i like how you got more damage from typhon tail than prometheus

[unkempt obsidian]

I can't dodge that thing ^^"

[bleak plaza]

absolutely insane Selene Coat run

[zealous rain]

New favorite: aspect of anubis with zeus attack. Thanks to hera duo boon, got a level 28 heaven strike

[noble ginkgo]

im new to the game i start play today so i use god mode until i get use to everything

[arctic wedge]

post game chronos victory, a nice fat damage spread for the eos torches

[split raptor]

my first successful run against typhon,
does the game always speed up by 100% towards the end?
Noway im dodging any of that

[rocky steppe]

Yes, he gets faster

[split raptor]

I just noticed i reached 100% speed from Ares aswell, didnt help me with not running into anything 😄

[rocky steppe]

Ah

[acoustic night]

First success on typhon also, the aspect of Selene is really nice

[bleak plaza]

BING BONG and brought my dress with me

[split raptor]

i see Hephaestus did some hard carrying 😄

[distant tree]

Hades 2 true ending achieved!

[bleak plaza]

bing bong crits are so good

[split raptor]

yes i love his big numbers do the bing bong aswell ❤️

[steady moon]

lmao how is that my rarest achievement yet that was so easy

[rocky steppe]

1.0 has been out like a week lmao

[steady moon]

finishing the game is like 4% of players and is much harder / longer than this

[royal birch]

guys what will you rate this build out of 10?

[supple pebble]

I just bullied my Grandpa

[glossy rain]

First time in 40 fear

[remote tundra]

Highest Fear run so far! 🐍

[white badge]

What I'd give for cross cataclysm on momus, gz

[open venture]

Ive never felt such power before

[pliant tiger]

wait until you see a typical persephone skull hephaestus build

[robust sapphire]

I had wide grin and was really enjoying omega blasts but clicked hammer in the final shop like an idiot lol. It gave me bolstered array though

Probably my easiest clear so far, didn’t even use a DD

How come Chronos did 261 dmg then, you might ask

Some boon gave 30% of damage back to me

It seems Scylla and Co did almost nothing

[boreal copper]

least damage i ever took from chronos thanks to hestia/hera duo boon melting through him so fast (also, elemence)

[gusty crest]

Double Legendary fun run 😤

[old elm]

Using aspect of Persephone and the new keepsakes will end up looking like a chaos trial.

[lethal flicker]

Super soaker persephone...

[elder wren]

i love that tail of typhon did more damage than typhon did

[lethal flicker]

Mostly just facetanking my security system to get more DPS out

[elder wren]

my 40 fear eos hitch run :)

[vapid igloo]

lol this is gonna be a fun run

it works surprisingly bad for 91% now

[desert moon]

all blitz all the time

[lime oar]

hey guys I think circe might be good

[regal perch]

well that's news
next you'll tell me mel staff is meta or something lol

[lime oar]

i stacked just about every good cast effect I could get

[mystic marten]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/989422318528909384/1424109118767235199/image.png?ex=68e2c078&is=68e16ef8&hm=6723760cac32114c433b6864f0bcc9acfead9ae941ac136f577a9c011da13749&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=1234&height=694
First 32 fear run and holy- had 2 seconds left on doom pin

[hot torrent]

Not a victory screen, but honestly the closest call I've had in any run was the Chaos Trial with the Engraved Pin https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Tb1LsT6Qnho (posted with mod approval)

[lucid peak]

19 nights total
only 2 "losses" to cthonic fate for surface moss

[vapid igloo]

man why is zag also a bad loser? why did they do his character so poorly in this game?

[regal bear]

i don't recall zag ever being a good loser tbh

still can't break 700 not that ineed to but still

[tight lava]

I think I may have exaggerated a bit.

[smoky hornet]

how in the hell

[blissful yacht]

That aspect of Medea seems kinda strong

[maiden crest]

32 fear got kings ransom on the typhon shop holy 😭 was meant to be a hestia+demeter too
had shocking loss and aq aswell

[round wyvern]

Beat Chronos in ~2:30min. I usually don't like the axe because of how slow it is, but big numbers go brrrrrrrrrrr

[lime oar]

Aspect of Supay finally clicked for me. Also, peep the 80% sea star 😎

Divine Vengeance was also 80%, and double strike was a bit over half odds

Im starting to see the merit of fate's whims runs...

[tiny plume]

managed a victory on as early as night 5
probably the best a mere mortal like me can do

[dreamy bay]

First win! Fetching Array is the best.

[nova crater]

first time trying speedrunning, i have no idea whats actually good to pick but im pretty proud of this time for a first attempt

[dense vigil]

quite poor tbh, u'll want control burn + hestia ares duo instead of poseidon & hera

[royal birch]

was going for apollo legendary and double special hammer otherwise i got the other gods randomly

[dense vigil]

u should try out apollo -> hestia -> ares/icarus -> medea if u want your build to be more awesome

hunt for apollo's legendary, hestia fire ball, hestia ares duo

[royal birch]

might try it out later thx for the suggestion

[noble heath]

I'm done

[peak night]

ceirtanly a run of all time, the least i had to think on a run in a while, just spamming omega special the whole way trough and somehow never got glorious disaster to make the setup even better

[unborn basin]

forgot to on vic screen but first 48f clear ft. jeweled pom start, heroic blood spree and white antler

also ran out of time on hecate and only cleared that w like 10hp 😭

[tight lava]

Gilded Pom + King's Ransom. Yeah it's broken AF.

with Persephone skull you can make it even more broken

[glad iron]

This was a pretty fun build, even if I didn’t exactly get what I wanted

[vestal helm]

I Know not technically a victory, but it damn sure feels like one, 764 NIGHTS later, finally the max rank achieved

[gusty magnet]

I got my first win ✅

[nova crater]

following up my first attempt at speedrunning underworld with my first attempt of speedrunning surface. ||zag|| keepsake leveled up mid-run meaning i got to ||rarify 10 times|| which was... oh my god thats not fair at all

[nocturne wedge]

sub 8 Morrigan run(new pb)
the chronos fight couldve gone a bit better especially since I didnt have armor, but overall Im very satisfied with this run
p.s still waiting for boated to drop a morrigan speedrun guide

[static field]

First Typhon kill

[blissful tundra]

First Mel axe 62f surface clear, don't fall for the dashing heave propaganda

https://youtu.be/DgEpjwVLUZQ?si=ueu2WQGZeDqDp55w

[nocturne wedge]

damn, congrats bro thats a crazy feat

[blissful yacht]

Hecate hurt me more than Chronos lmao

[sick storm]

This was a cracked hephaestus run.

[grim mulch]

Aphrodite Attack +14... jesus my dmg was insane

[velvet karma]

Somehow, the run without an Attack boon (or Gain boon until the shop right before Typhon) ends up being my first 55 fear surface win with Morrigan. Heph blasts sure melts through bosses. Was a struggle.

[midnight cove]

Chaos really put me through hell with this one

[carmine tapir]

First time prevailing on the Surface in 1.0 and I was 11 seconds off of a sub15 on 20 Fear

[lime oar]

man. what was this build.

felt good tho. ding dong

[rocky steppe]

My bad anubis was not familiar with your game

[quartz lintel]

By far the most op build I’ve managed to get so far

[ripe seal]

62F Persephone, only Coat left now for underworld runs then I will have 62F all weapons

[surreal swan]

Alright got plat after 375 nights 🙂 thx for the games!

[harsh mica]

Morrigan

[lime oar]

My bad persephone. I was not familiar with your game.

I love starting with a +10 sworn strike.

[sage fulcrum]

Awesome game 🫡

[blissful yacht]

exhilirating

[lime oar]

first time trying anubis on fates whim. I like it!

wish i got the duo boon...

[quasi cove]

UNGA BUNGA.

[lime oar]

DING. DONG.

I will never doubt the blastmaxxing mindset ever again

[vagrant granite]

Splash. Beat Rivals Prometheus first try

[onyx plinth]

first time running circe
was pretty fun

[nocturne nimbus]

did 1.8k damage with fully charged omega special on typhon

[remote tundra]

My first 16-Fear (and Rival Cerberus) clear on my first try! Did not also expect to do it with the Axe, my weakest weapon of the 6-- but dang, I knew the Aspect of Nergal would be amazing and it just exceeded my expectations 🦁

[white badge]

Homing miniballs hex huh

[white badge]

#h2-builds-and-combat message

[blissful yacht]

What... Does that mean?

[white badge]

I take hella damage in this fight whenever her hex of choice for phase transition is smallballs

[wicked tartan]

my second ever win! I wanted to get the duo to give all those tasty hera boons and beat chronos with only storm ring but it never showed up :/

[peak night]

finally managed to do a run with a 100% rate sea star unbelibaly redundant, but very funny

[hearty pelican]

finally finished this chaos egg run

[polar marsh]

i love circe

[onyx plinth]

first 20 fear uw

[rocky steppe]

All aspects 32 fear uw

[ripe seal]

All weapons 62F underworld is now complete. Onto dying a lot on the surface!

[long girder]

morrigan is broken with heph legendary and the hammer that adds another 222 damage to the ritual

[dense vigil]

wtf this wacky build actually won somehow xD

[onyx plinth]

why is your aspect rank 6

[dense vigil]

heph's legendary

[onyx plinth]

oh

[maiden crest]

32 fear underworld to finally reach the end credits!!!

[soft wigeon]

(third time's the charm)

[bleak plaza]

possessed array truly is absurd

[thick magnet]

Fastest time with some aphro cheese

[remote tundra]

...and first 16-Fear clear on the Surface! Prom and Herc gave me trouble on our first rodeo so had the idea to try with the Supay Torches to have a more autopilot fighting style against them + lotsa dashing-- the Hidden Aspects have been amazing so far! Loved using it with Hestia sprint + the combo with Omega Boons 😈

[coarse bronze]

with mirrored thrasher + exceptional talent I hit 4(!!!) times every time I used omega attack

[bleak plaza]

I won, but still feel like I lost

didn't get Slow Cooker nor did I get Fire Away

[wary fog]

dps was so low that psychic leash had to carry me that was the kinda run where i feel like i got better at the game because i was doing 0 damage and had to actually play the fights

[willow flare]

Dont know if this is a super common build or something but I got past Prometheus for the first time and first tried Typhon because four axe specials is just absurdly broken, that and moon water

[split anvil]

Persephone with the new keepsakes is insane, slowly starting to become one of my fav aspects in the game. Super fun and suepr strong

[split raptor]

technically i won, but I could kill myself right now.
Should I try and see what happens?

[bold fulcrum]

Beat Typhon without using a death defiance

[split raptor]

I just tried, once you won (victory screen), you cant drop below 1 HP.
good to know

[midnight trench]

you guys think this is enough armour?

[rocky steppe]

https://imgur.com/a/l6zXbPA

This boss is too easy sometimes

[upper sapphire]

first ever 32 clear

[robust sapphire]

Got my first Typhon clear on the first attempt let’s goo

In retrospect Apollo gain is way better for this

Ranged cast + omega attack spam with the skulls

[dense vigil]

Non rival 32. That’s high fear then

[rocky steppe]

Huh?

[pliant tiger]

maybe it's cuz you had a epic lvl 6 zeus attack and a heroic lvl 10 hera spesh

[rocky steppe]

That was unrelated

[dense vigil]

Becoz u r doing non rival prom, when half of my curse was from rivals -> every other curse will be insanely high

[rocky steppe]

I've shown you my fear setup haven't I

[dense vigil]

Not that i can recall

[rocky steppe]

https://imgur.com/a/faIsqUr

[dense vigil]

Seems no fun at all with hubris and frenzy 2 and time 3

[rocky steppe]

I don't notice the frenzy or timer anymore and hubris is easy to work around

[dense vigil]

I’m still learning frenzy 1 and only time 1 since i tend to get distracted in rooms so i waste a lot of time

[rocky steppe]

Real

[pliant tiger]

time 3 isn't all that bad tbh

unless ur running really really high fear

i tried running 55 fear medea surface multiple times and got to typhon consistently but i kept timing out in p4 due to typhons insane amount of health and cuz his ads have so much hp

same is true for my 58 fear medea underworld attempts

for like the easiest 32 fear setup imo, it would be something like this. denial really isn't that bad unless you want to have a lot of ideal boons from a specific god and wards isn't bad for like any weapon ever besides axe.

if ur a masochist replace grit 2 and scars 1 with forfeit

[burnt latch]

Judgment + Fates' Whim run

[bleak plaza]

absolutely disgusting Anubis Magick spend build

[blissful yacht]

Ah! I honestly don't remember, but I think my issue was more not knowing how to use Medea, so I probably kept dashing with my special into bad things 😅

[willow turret]

First ever 32 fear underworld done

After Scylla it was pretty easy, but I messed up my build so much 😭

[rocky steppe]

Once you get past rivals scylla it's a free run

[willow turret]

It was my first time fighting rivals scylla too. I would have been dead if I was using anything other than Nergal

[abstract axle]

OMG. The deed is done.

The deed being Rivals 4 Heaven for the first time

[topaz mulch]

All of the weapons done on 32 fear in the Underworld :D

[rocky steppe]

I finished mine earlier today as well, congrats

[pliant tiger]

58 FEAR MEDEA UNDERWORLD DONE FINALLY! LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BABYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!

timed out during p3, one more chronos hit or timer tick wouldve killed me but winter harvest came in clutch so good

im sorry winter harvest, i did not know your game

yo @lofty oriole i finally got it

[real igloo]

Second victory and it's already my most broken build

Level 18 & 20 Zeus boons was crazy

[rocky steppe]

Kings ransom?

[pliant tiger]

cant see kings ransom

[real igloo]

I'm kinda new idk which one is that

[pliant tiger]

did u get any hera boons in ur run

[rocky steppe]

Very bottom row on the right???

[real igloo]

Oh ye that boon that makes divorce between them yes

[rocky steppe]

Yes that's kinds ransom

[lofty oriole]

YOOOO NICE ONE 👌

Not even close at all 👏

[pliant tiger]

oh mb i thought that was like a different duo boon im not familiar with the icons

chronos is washed

also did u ever get ur 55 fear eos win or what

[real igloo]

Hades 2 might be the best new game of last 3 years for me

I can't play anything else these days anymore

[abstract axle]

It's real good yeah. My biggest complaint is that there isn't more of it. Like, what I wouldn't give for more weapons or just a Zagreus mode

[quasi cove]

Technically not boasting but just found my first win back from EA while looking through old screenshots.

Prominence Flare used to be Apollo's cast boon. What grim times we lived in.

[novel hearth]

is there a prize for taking the most damage?

[pliant tiger]

heres my gameplay footage if anyone wants to see how i clutched my chronos fight: https://youtu.be/L5PJjK_afJ8

[bleak plaza]

Typhon died so fast I took no damage

[sinful jetty]

So, is that it? Did I win?

[stiff narwhal]

first time trying high fear runs, this was my second attempt in 40 fear, I still have no idea how to dash away from some of Cronos moves lmao

[copper mason]

first try! sorry bro, i had a nasty dodge build going XD

first try as in, firt time i fought him

[real shore]

first typhon kill, i dodged so many of his attacks
gale + wispy wiles + circe shrink might be broken

[weary bone]

Great Chaos Below is completed and with that, I now have 100% achievements
Absolutely fantastic game

[bleak plaza]

...traps?

I think I remember now, I had a Hera Godsent mob against Cerb and after I beat him the mob stood in the Lava until it expired

[vestal star]

finally

[lime oar]

Cant go wrong with Anubis

[short python]

i am so unbelievably tense right now

[sand glade]

That must've been quite a luck to get winter harvest on 58 fear

That was fun surface run to unlock normal ending, now it's time for upgrading everything and go slowly for epilogue

[pliant tiger]

i didn't even know i got the pre reqs

[primal patio]

Managed to clear both regions at 32 fear with every weapon aspect! Now to start prepping for 50+ fear runs

[short python]

:)

[elder ermine]

Dressed to KIll run.
Grabbed a lot of "gain armor, prime magick" and got the silken sash after talking to arachne

[manic relic]

I was just doing the achievement to finish a run with all weapons, not a big an of nyx aspect so never did it before, ended up getting the craziest heph run of my life lmao

[misty hill]

I LOVE how they've changed the post-game in this one.

[sand glade]

Is burnign even working on Typhon? I don't see numbers at all when using scorch on him

[zealous dragon]

Hidden aspects are quite something; the last 3 keepsakes are even more insane though

[quasi cove]

Momus go brr?

[real shore]

supay is busted

[gusty magnet]

I stacked damage multipliers with additional scorch/heph blasts

[lethal flicker]

100% sea star is a win in my book

[lime oar]

Silly Supay Build

[spring magnet]

my first sub 10 surface

(wasn't going for time, hense the lucky tooth. just happened to be fast)

[winter mural]

reached chronos w/ arachne's outfit and the gramps was flabbergasted

also new speedrun record, lets go

[eternal magnet]

24f surface!

[winter mural]

somehow this feels more shocking than getting 2 legendary boons on the same screen

[rocky steppe]

He also has cool dialogue if you do it again with the same dress

[lime oar]

Insane scorch build

Blitz still somehow highest damage

Zeus is balanced

[slow plaza]

easiest clear of my life

[eternal magnet]

32 fear done

[lime oar]

quickly becoming hopelessly supaypilled

Someone please help me

[glad iron]

Second attempt at 32 Fear

[final meteor]

Finally got my first clear of the underworld! The axe is insane. Managed to get a hex that gave guaranteed crits, and I could use it twice in a row, and two Daeldalus hammers that synergized in an insane way.

[glossy rain]

Was time for some Glyph build 😄

[civic tendon]

@plush tartan I got our achievement today!

[sharp iron]

[desert moon]

exactly 70,000 omega special damage, what are the odds

[last flower]

2nd win on Ver. 1.0!!!

[low vale]

sperdrun

[coral matrix]

woah, that's a lot of poms on the surface

[slow plaza]

got lucky with sea star giving me poms. Plus had the Ica buff that gave poms every 7(?) encounters

[sick oyster]

https://www.reddit.com/r/HadesTheGame/comments/1nz3mxe/the_secret_5th_rivals_boss_the_stupid_spike_traps/

[late sable]

first sub 13 we locked in frfr

[orchid flint]

Buuurrrnn baby burn

also 999 blood triad go brrrrr

[odd kraken]

That was fun lmao, 24 fear surface too

[keen cliff]

Jut got it yesterday too I'm so happy hehe

[foggy radish]

A normal amount of boon levels lol

[sturdy ginkgo]

aspect of charon is too fun man 😭

[old elm]

"No Hit" run in the Underworld. Technically did the Dressed to Kill achievement but it's bugged in Epic Games.

[coral sphinx]

First time beating ||typhon!!!!||

[candid flame]

yay a circe run

[mint surge]

first 32 fear run!

[fair pasture]

The most fun build I've done in a long time. Went Supay and decided to go full "rush boon" because of the buff... insane damage from poseidon there. Then just had omega attack lightning (with hammer splitting) and Heph special (with seismic servo helping out cooldown), and demeter cast for freezing, and a bunch of stuff that interconnected... absolute insanity

[fierce patio]

zap zap

[boreal geyser]

lowkey the craziest run i've ever done. i actually beat typhon without taking any damage 😭

[fierce patio]

|| ZAG || boon enables some crazy stuff like heroic success rate

[patent thunder]

FOR YOU ARACHNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[woven path]

rivals typhon first try xd

[late quail]

me when 600 damage omega specials in the first area
and a super high level of flutter flourish too

pic of post cyclops

[plucky robin]

did it

[lime arch]

New surface PB by a MASSIVE margin. damage tanking builds my beloved

[half patrol]

ok seems like pomming hepheastus is completely unfair

[late quail]

le funny 1 second recharge

[wary fog]

40 fear underworld lfggg i am in love with nyx coat. i also forgot to switch keepsakes in oceanus lol
im shocked the special did that much damage on its own (maybe ripper rockets is secretly best in slot......)

[south monolith]

50 Fear WR (Sub 7 yay)

[sand glade]

I think that sun worshiper is one of the best boons against Typhon 🙂

[nocturne blaze]

69

[sand glade]

A minion (I remember he had muscles) was dealing 3000+ dmg to Typhon just because

[white badge]

atak z doskoku is so unnecessarily funny to a russian speaker 😭

gratz on 20

[sand glade]

They had to translate dash-strike to Polish somehow 🙂

[rocky steppe]

That and the word for rank 5 on the aspect is a pretty bad insult in english

[sand glade]

Melinoe?

That's the name of princess. Aspekt? It's just an aspect 🤔

Or it' ranga (rank)?

[rocky steppe]

Ranga yeah

[velvet karma]

That is crazy, congratz! What Fear loadout did you have?

[sand glade]

Classic language surprises, nothing to do about it

[rocky steppe]

Amen

[pliant tiger]

HOLY CRAP FIRST RUN OF THE DAY AND I GOT 58 FEAR MEDEA SURFACE FIRST TRY. LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO BABYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

got my 58 fear medea all routes, it's time for 62 fear medea all routes

[rocky steppe]

Baller

[pliant tiger]

jeweled pom meta is kinda cracked ngl

stalwart stand saved my ass during olympus and summit

thank u nat athena

[rocky steppe]

Only got 12 runs till I finish all aspects 32f both routes, any tips for higher fear?

[pliant tiger]

oh god i suck at giving advice

[rocky steppe]

LMAO

[pliant tiger]

try to get used to max frenzy and rivals

[rocky steppe]

Just what's your arcana setup and fear

[rocky steppe]

Alr done

[pliant tiger]

cuz thats 50% the challenge of high fear

the other 50%: just dont get hit lmao

[rocky steppe]

Easy

[pliant tiger]

my arcana setup is this and my fear is everything but max scars and pain

oh forgot to turn off the fates card ther

there

[rocky steppe]

Strength and dd's?

[pliant tiger]

are there any 4 grasp arcana cards besides death and strength?

[rocky steppe]

Ok do scars and pain last gotcha

[rocky steppe]

True

[pliant tiger]

if im doing a regular run im probably removing strength and artificer to activate the reroll corner

[rocky steppe]

Yeah ok, artificer makes more sense with forfeit

Got alot of challenging runs ahead of me it seems, just gotta build up to it

[flat grail]

LOVED THIS BUILD SM

[real pelican]

[remote tundra]

Was just contemplating earlier about a Mega Charizard Y-inspired build using Supay Torches and Apollo + Hestia Boons (and maybe Demeter's Gusts) and did not actually expect to get it for my first run of the day! Also the second time I got to use Godsent Hexes and really loved how Hestia's Total Eclipse went perfectly with the Zard Y theme. Drought-sent AoE's all around!☀️🔥

[golden summit]

started a no arcana run to get the prophecy of beating Hecate with no arcana and got a win in 13 minutes lmao

[willow dune]

Giga cleaver + exceptional talent + lightning lance goes crazy, just omega special once and I can trigger at least 4 omega cast explosion by spamming q

[glad bobcat]

Bear witness to the True Champion of Arachne!

I survived with the Gold dress all night!

Not only that, but I went through Sector 4 hitless until Chronos, who could literally only pop the Breath of Eos!

Chronos: "Ah, I struck, not even once?"
||Chronos, sounding bored: May Time Flow Forth Freely||

[bleak plaza]

Charon 4x insanity

[sleek brook]

Tried an Heph torch build, wasn't that good, wasn't that bad either, good thing I got that triple pom on the summit to go from 7s to 4s against Rival Typhon

[eager hemlock]

this might genuinely be the best build ive ever had in this game lol

[remote tundra]

Finally did the customary Judgement Run for the Fated List! That was pretty fun and my first full run with the Jeweled Pom, too, of course I just had to go with the Persephone Skull to keep the theme 💀💐 No Arcana Hecate next!

[sleek brook]

Low fear because I do not trust fates' whim trinkets, but perhaps there is something to it after all

[pliant tiger]

i won 58 fear underworld and surface with fates whim

u just havent seen how cracked it is yet

[sleek brook]

That's... why I'm testing the waters, yes

[pliant tiger]

fair enough

[lunar coral]

great chaos below
he took away my strength(arcana)
very rude of chaos to do that
welp cooked chronos without deathdefience

[gilded ravine]

chaos goes by they them (good clear tho)

[lime oar]

Heinous Affront? Oh yeah its not like im using the aspect that wants to be hit

this build was silly

[lunar coral]

bruh

so much free gold

[sleek brook]

Something went very, very wrong

[smoky hornet]

jewelled pom is pretty fun! also first 16 fear clear

[bright garnet]

nah im goddamn done with high fear runs

[real shore]

some fear

[sand glade]

And they've called me qucik shot... I mean swing 😄

[serene parrot]

okay zeus, this one was funny. 100% double hit and revenge up to 32 times 😂

Was there a King Ransom at play? 😄

[smoky hornet]

lmao

[static field]

https://tenor.com/view/tigerking-joe-exotic-tking-gif-5299128402124373861

[gaunt elm]

these keepsakes make for some interesting runs

[smoky hornet]

got this but combined with double strike at +96%

https://tenor.com/view/marty-back-to-the-future-electric-guitar-overdrive-gif-26646784

[rocky swift]

legalize nuclear bombs

[rocky swift]

around 4k per omega attack, but imagine if i got bolstered array too 💀

[signal obsidian]

Didn't expect Mel Staff pop off that hard

[terse sable]

Don’t exactly have a screen shot but my one boast is that I beat VOW ||typhon|| first try much easier than the his counterpart imo

[snow knoll]

managed to beat chronos for the first time! 49th night

[sinful jetty]

315 hours well spent

[untold solar]

New fear PB! 49 fear surface with mel skull

[lavish forge]

Father of All Monsters hates this one weird trick (cat)

[modern oar]

966!!?!?! Dash for noobs, i think?

[rocky steppe]

Oh god lmao

[lavish forge]

Look, the important number here is 357,559

[rocky steppe]

People who use dd's are on smth else

[lunar coral]

white antler might be risky but it sure is fun

[modern oar]

oh god. Jesus christ

[lunar coral]

how

[lavish forge]

Patience and a high pain tolerance

[lunar coral]

what did you feed to the poor cat

[modern oar]

run==>wake up the cat==>wait for damage==>repeat

[rocky steppe]

Cocaine apparently

[modern oar]

Walter's best blue ice

[lunar coral]

oh

makes more sense now

[thorn wolf]

there's no way you spent 147 hours wtf

[winged sigil]

artemis blades 62 fear

[lavish forge]

Minutes, not hours

[thorn wolf]

oh okay. phew

yeah idk why I thought that was hours, I'm cooked. very cool achievement!

[cold flint]

Machine gun build was fun thank you Zagreus
If I had gotten a better attack it would have been more cooler haha

[lunar coral]

that was an insane build

[lunar coral]

minutes but still insane

[white steppe]

Was my first win against Chronos almost quit due to forgetting to rarify my boons TWICE and accidentally picking a horrible chaos boon for my build. Somehow ended up being a beast anyways

[visual grotto]

52F mel staff win its nice to come back on the game

[scenic ice]

funny speed build, and also my new pb surface time! would have been even faster if i hadn't turned on rivals 4

[floral quest]

Last one was the outfit to the end, never tried it, went super well

[stray flicker]

low fear but how fun is supay

[tight ingot]

Guys im super noob probably just 10h of playing but got this random combo that basically face tank i had so much laugh

[velvet karma]

So... I managed to oneshot Vow of Rivals Typhon's last phase with a single Axe Ω Special. If the wiki is to believed, that means it did 10 000+ damage.

[rocky steppe]

Typhon phase 4 is around 25k health

[velvet karma]

Ops, I meant the Rivals phase

[rocky steppe]

Ohhhhh

[crude hamlet]

i just had one of my best typhon runs

[velvet karma]

580% Ω Special damage, with 76% crit, then doubled with Hammer.

[crude hamlet]

with the axe and a really good mix of apollo, zeus, hera, and aphrodite, I beat Typhon with all of my death defiances still in tact and an extra from athena too

low fear but I've also only beat him 2 times before that so i'm quite happy

[lost nexus]

Tonight i learned there is a 2nd boons page and that Judgement is a very interesting arcana

[sleek brook]

Well, it seems that Persephone's Revaal + Fates' Whim + Heph Focus makes quite the violent outcome

[hazy kettle]

i just had a great run messed up by this too (well it was controlled burn)

[late crater]

first ever encounter with typhon, this build was clearing EVERYTHING off screen 😭

[gusty magnet]

first typhon win with a very zeus heavy dagger build✅

[civic latch]

Hi ! I think i've finally done all this game has to offer. But it seems im still missing a statue in my hub. Does anyone know how to get it ? All my relationships are maxed out, i've reached the epilogue, and I did all the steam achievements. Also, I talked to Hecate and have had springs cutscene after the epilogue

[late flume]

i heart king's ransom

[carmine tapir]

What a Night to be my Dissolution of Time! This was one of my greatest Hades runs across the entire franchise. This story was an incredible journey; thank you so much @tawny notch for creating such a beautiful and wonderful game. I can’t wait to pour hundreds more hours into it after already spending over 150 hours in Early Access and nearly 50 more in the 1.0 release leading up to finally beating the game.

[carmine tapir]

Just remembered ||there was no Hecate|| in that run which definitely shaved off some time but it still easily would've been a sub-15, and I didn't even get lucky chambers (no Artemis or Narcissus for instance)

[rapid burrow]

bit of a long run, but I got unrivaled prometheus on my first try ever

[delicate bobcat]

Oooo, I love Mel coat/Heph attack.

[rapid burrow]

Honestly I love Mel coat for Xinth more than anything else. I was trying to get heroic Heph attack and level it up for BIG BOOM punches, but the rng wasn't there for me tonight

[random marsh]

I beat Typhon on my first try (as in, my first time finding him).

He certainly wasn't easy (I used all my Death Defiance), but it was a quick battle and I did win first time.

If anything, Prometheus gave me more trouble since I did lose to him first try (his memory game was a killer).

[carmine tapir]

I highly recommend trying Strength instead of Death Defiance. It seems scary, but it's actually easier unless you're playing at really high Fear levels IMO.

[carmine tapir]

as for the memory game, I just call it out loud verbally to myself so I don't mess up haha

[random marsh]

That strategy worked for me the next time

[barren jackal]

by far my best above ground run!

so many synergies and i didnt even die once

[random marsh]

I mean, it felt kind of anticlimactic how it took three days to beat Chronos, but I beat Typhon in one go.

That's three real days, not Nights in the game.

[rocky steppe]

Hecate

[carmine tapir]

Here's a better pic showing my boons. So cool that my Attacks did over 130k dmg even though I had no boon on them for half the game. It was so much fun pivoting from Hera Attack+Special+Cast into King's Ransom and Extended Danaid Dagger right before the Fields of Mourning.

[glad iron]

I always love this build, could be faster tho…

[velvet bronze]

@sly kelp this is what one of the big ones look like for example

[rugged belfry]

First T4 Vow of Rivals underground win 😄

[keen furnace]

Supay nailed it

[half dune]

First completed run!!!!

[spring magnet]

most balanced top 3 ive ever gotten

[spring magnet]

craziest thing ive seen better than 67 heat

[jade jetty]

I picked Queen's Ranson on accident but it was really funny

[coral matrix]

haha, nailed it is a good name for a blade run

[vast rune]

lmao charon axe giving x4 specials + hera rift

[sacred prawn]

My clutchiest clutch, I cant believe that the Ares Boon I dismissed actually saved my bum + Artemis Daggers and the armored Wolf Howl

[onyx plinth]

this build was nasty typhon took like 30 seconds

first time ive ever done typhon no dd

[zealous elk]

special badge!!! 🥳 (use onion to reduce boon)

<{GODLESS GODDESS}>

[winter garden]

[woven estuary]

I still haven't had a full clear up or down but when this came up I choked. Aphrodite please (basically had Uncommon Grace active for most of my run and then this...)

[olive vigil]

Shoutout Selene zombie pals for doing most of the work in the back half

[woven estuary]

so many boons. whoever did the UI for this game's boon/ending screen knocked it out. i recall having some issues with it in early EA

[muted cedar]

hurray

[tall ocean]

i hadn’t even gotten past cerberus on my new save but i just stacked up 3k gold in tartarus and won without taking damage lol

[dreamy bay]

I really like Snuffed Candle on the big bad.

Also, LOL @ the quality. I just zoomed in from my couch. Didn’t feel like getting up.

[rocky steppe]

My only two clears on eos lmaoooo

[pliant tiger]

im sorry man but its mandatory

[sleek brook]

And that's Great Chaos Above done !
Hubris with Momos was terrible, until Apollo Magick + Winner's Circle, when it became an annoyance. I must say, while the timer is easily manageable, I hate it.

[split torrent]

I really liked my dress from Arachne, thus I kept it.

[lofty oriole]

50F Eos. Nothing too crazy 😶

[meager mountain]

haha melinoe go zooooooomies

[brittle hinge]

finally done with typhon

[flat grail]

this build was NASTYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[slim roost]

its my first ever surface win :)

[willow turret]

20 fear surface cleared after hours 😭

would have been one run if i had just turned of frenzy lmao

[brittle hinge]

death to chronos

[raven timber]

Great Chaos Trial Above, finally 🙂 the last big challenge absolved....
