Time to downpatch

pliant tiger
#

used hestia keepsake in third region to get scorch in the game

#

removed gigaros but didn't need it anymore

rocky steppe
#

It's carrying my speeds rn

pliant tiger
#

supay 62f surface is at least tolerable since ephyra gives u a lotta boons but underworld? unless u get lucky with artificer and family dispute ur getting like 2-4 boons by the end of erebus

regal shard
#

What about the playstyle? Do I use ospecial over oattack or other way around?

pliant tiger
#

i use both tbh

rocky steppe
#

Mostly just ospecial

pliant tiger
#

equipped night also for free omega crit and to help with early game

#

hence why i use both omega moves

#

once u get a decent rush boon and a good damaging source like blitz or scorch u don't need to omega

#

just spam dash ez game

supay 62f underworld redo without any hitstun whatsoever except frigid rush pull in tartarus shop ez game

#

@regal shard this how u play supay on high fear, pray for gigaros dash then blitz immediately right after squirtdevious

#

also forgot to highlight epic chaos healing boon

regal shard
#

no antler πŸ˜”

pliant tiger
#

nah im fine

regal shard
#

that arctic ring must have been clutch

pliant tiger
#

yeah i got arctic ring immediately after getting blitz and static shock

pliant tiger
#

hera attack was so good on rivals scylla

#

got the omega special and attack in for more range and started running around the stage

#

early game was hell tho, little to no dmg in plus i had the get stunned every time u take dmg curse

#

lost a dd cuz of that

regal shard
#

I like her sprint in their fight. You just run around for like 10sec and then do you buisness

pliant tiger
#

for me i just take my anger out on scylla tbh

#

biggest pain in the ass tbh, and charybdis balls exist

tawdry spruce

i no hit rivals scylla, cerberus and chronos (very real)

Turns out the key to Rivals Chronos is to Night Bloom one of the little healing adds and never leave its range

Try Moros! The typical gameplay loop is to get your Omega special up and then attack until you need to put it back up. Hera is an amazing pick for the special (though Zeus will also work great) and for attack you can go something like % (apollo for the big blasts) or my favorite flat damage option, Poseidon (as the splashes will hit once when the initial shot hits enemies, and then once again on explosion)

#

Mel torches are a bit safer than Moros, as you can stay at range with attacks, but Moros can kill WAY faster

normal gate
#

Oh I see ! I’ve done 32f w/ blades but I kinda suck at torches and I have no idea what I can build them with

knotty lake
#

I did 32f (underworld) with morrigan just bcus big damage is nice

copper salmon

(Boated has great stuff)

I think I will do This w/ poseidon bc poseidon builds are always messy so I don’t have to do much

Am not great at this game but at least not TERRIBLE. Vow of Rivals complete. Now time for just, base 32 fear clear.

I love Scorch daggers so much

Side note, fully upgraded Path of Stars Total Eclipse does not muck about. Esp with Aphro + Hest and Hestia + Demeter duos

I just 0-hit Eris and 1-hit Prometheus! 😁

(hits received, that is)
feeling really good about that, been trying to bleed less health on the bosses on the way up - I've got the underworld bos moves pretty well memorized, more or less

Eris is such a wildcard for me(Fitting?). Sometimes I effortlessly 0 hit, others she takes a Death Defiance or two @.@

BRO, WHAT!!? I just beat 45 Fear first try... I really need to get better at the Rivals Chronos fight but holy... How did I do that??!

I know it's with Medea so it's not actually that hard but idk man, that was sick.

Medea can be scary!

I know lol. I'm still so confused how a "lets see how difficult this'll be" run, turned into a "How tf did I just do that?" run

Thanks Chaos for helping me to distract of multiple failed attempts of Nergal Surface 35F with a chill Supay run

Chaos knows what I like melsmile

Also, kudos to them for giving me Gorgon Amulet on Tartarus when I had two DD

Thanks, Chaos dusa

well that was a good warmup run lol sub-15 50f supay with 35 damage taken from chronos (ignore the hot pot + evade evade evade)

#

hitting heat rush in like room 2 certainly helped lol

ok now where's the 62f supay

i don't see any

I gotta do some surface stuff tmrw. My best on surface is 24 because I just don't like it as much. It is fun though and rivals Typhon is cool.

I'm still in shock tho.

rocky steppe
pliant tiger

first half of surface doesnt exist

#

second half is where it gets real

rocky steppe

Amen

pliant tiger
#

max frenzy, hordes, fangs, return, wards, and grit olympus is 100% a run killer

#

u are guaranteed to time out unless good skip rng

#

and if u get skips u can still get screwed over by natural athena spawn and aetos

coarse island
#

lol, makes sense.

#

I still don't know how I did that though. Maybe hitting 100 hours gave me a random buff 😭.

coarse island
#

Tysm though!

rocky steppe

Maybe I need to do a medea 50f now

50 Fear! Moros Fear PB, insane carry job from Conservation + Abundance + Panacea Moon Water. An Ephyra sideroom Hermes Shrine into expedited Path of Stars let me go to Polyphemus with 9 Moon Waters, and i had enough damage to win the run because moros and zeus are gross. Poseidon attack is surprisingly strong on Moros, I think the wave also triggers on the moros explosion.

Very greedy Hecate keepsake pick into typhon, was fishing for Fine Lines and didn't want to prime out. The build probably just needed better safety/consistency so droplet would have been a better choice, fine line fishing was evidently win more in this scenario.

This is my first win and attempt at 50F moros after a 2 month hiatus, so I'm overall proud of the run, but my macro could have been better. I'm always impressed and amused by how long Moon Water can abuse the Tight Deadline timer, nearly 100 seconds (500 damage) here.

My fastest run yet on a complete whim

Its really nice to see how many people play Eos despite the lack of content creators covering the weapon

main drift
frosty bridge
#

Oh I know lol, I love Eos its really good

main drift
#

in another universe where I got literally one shop DD during tartarus it would have been my first 62 fear clear, it got crazy close I just fumbled πŸ˜” but it's rly good, I love Eos... always excited to talk abt Eos

#

I also figured you know lmao I just like being enthusiastic abt it
criminally underrated weapon

frosty bridge
#

with night arcana that daybreaker can hit hard also

rocky steppe

and it's weirdly fun for speeds, it's not amazing but crazy high flat damage room 1 is neat. shreds minibosses and Hec boonless

Hmm actually should I go for Night or Huntress on Eos...

what are some other criminally underrated aspects btw? I wanna learn them

main drift
old oxide
#

yes I use sacred ashes in Elden ring too

barren moon
#

Though additionally what would you choose with rerolls

main drift
# barren moon Hmm dang now I need to rearrange my arcana

this was my loadout for Eos 62 fear: https://h2crossroads.pages.dev/ArcanaDeck/?deck=WyJjMSIsImMzIiwiYzUiLCJjNiIsImM3IiwiYzkiLCJjMTAiLCJjMTEiLCJjMTIiLCJjMTMiLCJjMTQiLCJjMTUiLCJjMTgiLCJjMjQiXQ==
I wouldn't recommend Unseen at lower fear necessarily, but for high fear Eos specifically it's actually really good πŸ‘€ enough magick regen for your entire run, and boons are scarse with forfeit and denial on. ends up being abt equal to boatman in value for Eos specifically. grab boatman or excellence for lower fear stuff prob.
also wayward son is good if you aren't using max scars

main drift
# barren moon Though additionally what would you choose with rerolls

rerolls are more rigid, tbh you'd prob just do the default loadout. you can grab night instead of furies, but Eos does well with olympian damage too and furies is better for that
Eos is an amazing fate's whim weapon tho, super flexible, so I don't rly play it w rerolls ever anymore

main drift
rocky steppe
frosty bridge
#

I.........can see the vision with the hel one tbh

rocky steppe
#

I get it

#

But i'm not happy about it

main drift
#

it does make sense, I won with it lol, it's just. weird
but autofire hel = no sorceress cause no omegas
and the base damage is so ass that no huntress is fine
no wayward since scars
so may as well grab excellence lol

frosty bridge
#

I dont think hel can even use the omega attack reliably at frenzy2 LOL

rocky steppe
#

😭

main drift
frosty bridge
#

I need to play skulls more tbh and im.....kinda leaning to hel as my main aspect on it

main drift
#

outdamaged scorch with +255% pyro technique lol, somehow

frosty bridge
#

I dont want to touch medea, it has only 1 real moveset, mel and pers look somewhat interesting but both feel quite samey

main drift
#

Hel for fear is p safe and solid once it's online, but if you want to play fate's whim there's a lot of rerolling... it feels glacial until you get a boon on it, which means high fear erebus is rough

frosty bridge
#

yeah i felt that, I felt fates whim hel is a ton of run resets

main drift
#

it...... really got on my nerves ngl 😭
but it is by far the safest imo

frosty bridge

I dont like resets much tbh but i still need to see

If I ever go for it again tho 100% will

antler just makes P3 chronos so scary and stressful.
but if you're playing circe and have howling soul going in, you can literally just cast and run away since it sticks to chronos. (granted you have the time to spare)

If I do get there with circe again I feel safe enough

leash damage is always #2 or #3 on my damage boards when running circe. it's super good. especially in first two regions when your damage is lower

genuinely 45 minutes into the toula only run and my computer restarted for no reason im so mad

#

oh god i had a huge revival from chaos too this sucksssssss

why am i doing this. i just spent 6 minutes in the king vermin fight and lost a dd because toula kept getting stuck on walls and there were 20 pot guys shooting mines

i have a bunch of podcast episodes to listen to so its something to do while those play melsmile

one hour on the timer going into tart lmao

#

I think this was my best run.

#

I was going for the achievement of still having an Arachne dress upon reaching the final confrontation, and far surpassed my own expectations.

#

I had 188 armor, still of the Arachne dress.

#

Gale helped save a lot of hits.

#

Arachne's keepsake, the silken sash, gave 30 armor and +2 per location, which built up some. But then I switched to Hephastus keepsake and got a boon of +100 armor, iirc. But it turns out I didn't even need that.

toula only run in almost 2 hours. i did it so you dont have to

#

no attacks on the wards pylons in the chronos fight, i just had to wait until chronos stood next to them and toula's attack hit them as collateral. the single dash-strike and poseidon wave was because i tabbed out to change the podcast episode and tabbed back in and the game made me dash strike somehow. i genuinely would have reset if it happened any earlier but i was halfway through tartarus melcry

We somehow overcome the odds to beat timer in spite of Charipdys, one of the worst natural Athenas I've ever seen, Aetos, and no skips in Olympus. Burning desire is the core of the build, but Destructive was crucial to boss fights.

Also side note: I don't know why the game started lagging extremely bad during that one boat in Thessaly lol

Hey guys. This is the pinnacle of AFK clears in Hades 2 (unless rivals Typhon is somehow possible)! This clear took alot of rerolls and new runs. It involves Supay, a very juicy hot pot, death defiances, Toula and a very lucky paid dues from Hermes. Alot of rng goes into the fight as chronos can sometimes do the one shot move more than 3 times i...

My final aspect for 32F wins on all aspects above and below, got tired of forcing hera fine lines so i threw on fates whim + judgement and let the build play itself. little too close for comfort but whatever. I equipped moon beam in fields and was never offered path of stars so that was funny. I don't think i even had a single level on the hex, big ups to me on almost completely ignoring the aspect for the final clear besides rotating omega moves.

eager pendant
#

I barely survive Typhon's fight but damn. I rarely play with coat but this was easiest and take less time than axe's clear.

And with that, my little personal challenge ended. :> I cleared 32f underworld and surface with every weapon. :D

I got a really nice solo dps setup, and this run was only meant to get me some items from chaos, not be my first chronos win lol

#

my logbook from clearing all aspects above and below on 32F. My fear choices were max rivals, timer, menace, fangs, and shadow as a baseline 28F, with max hubris for non-magick aspects and max wards for fast-hitting aspects. I'd mix it up for any remaining fear. for almost all of this i'd use god keepsakes in the first 2 regions to lock in a certain build, but im thinking fates whim judgement would also suffice. time piece in region 2 keeps shop boons on the table for the rest of the run even with max debt, and jeweled pom makes starting boons strong enough to cobble together a sufficient "build," if not getting outright lucky on gods to begin with

Yeah but pain, scars, grit, and hoards make the game so much harder than it needs to be

LMAOOOO

#

Yes i agree but if you study the bosses moves you will manage it @worldly moat

#

The only hard bosses for me is eris and typhon

worldly moat
#

Dawg ive done 65f lmao, ig if you dont have rivals youre kinda forced to take the more problematic stuff

crimson birch
#

You can do 32F with no Rivals and still have it not look like those vows

unborn oracle
#

I have completed 32 fear for underworld @crimson birch

#

I was more speaking to Plum's bit about being forced to take particular vows

#

AKA "you aint forced to take these ones specifically bruv ask me how I know"

32 under and 24 surface

#

u have rivals 1 unlocked right? turn that on

unborn oracle
#

Is for alternate boss moves? @pliant tiger

pliant tiger
#

yeah

#

here's what i would change for ez 32f with rivals 1

Or if you really don't want Rivals πŸ‘€

I think if I were doing it today I might consider just bumping Frenzy to 2 instead, but that was what I used for my 32F

62F Circe underworld > Fear PB with this aspect and 2nd aspect to clear 62 fear
Got hestia cast, chaos cast damage, and glowing coal all in erebus, and then pyro technique at the end of oceanus. Only way it would've been easier is if I started with unseen ire and got deep dissent later, instead of the opposite

worldly moat
#

Circe with toula is crazy work, great job tho!

pliant tiger
#

people are sleeping on circe toula

#

actually best familiar for circe besides raki

winged sigil
#

my first ever 62 was circe with toula

pliant tiger
#

my first circe 62 was with toula too

worldly moat
#

Yall are freaks mine was gale

rare parcel
#

Toula requires some management, but it's neat

pliant tiger
#

gale is kinda mid for high fear circe tbh, has double cast yeah but has ass psychic leash

rare parcel
#

Wait, Chasm with Smolder adds more Burn?

crimson birch
#

Apparently, yeah. I was told this recently.

#

I was surprised too. If anything I would have expected it to act more like Fang (makes the Scorch proc do more damage)

worldly moat
#

Although ig i cant talk i cant even play the damned game rn πŸ˜”

pliant tiger
#

absolute godsent for early game

winged sigil
#

it is in fact ridiculous early game

pliant tiger
#

especially when dealing with high hp and armor enemies in early game

worldly moat
#

No I mean taking 30 damage from a regular enemy 😭

#

Its insane for early game yeah optimizing it from gale is the only reason erebus doesnt take 30 years

pliant tiger
#

yeah but like circe is so safe just dodge, the casts are doing the work not u

errant notch
tall veldt
#

I find that waking up toula isn't a big deal with circe and the extra dd just feels nicer than raki
My first 62f clear I used toula with moros wands since I forgot to change it, so maybe I should just embrace using toula at this point

old oxide
#

first time I decided to go with strength and on high fear. People are right about Medea damn

#

I fully expected to die on this run. I just did it to do Arachnes quest and wouldnt have cared past Erabus, but then I just happened to keep going

crimson birch
#

It's always fun when that happens!

old oxide
#

the skull is honestly very annoying in vow of rivals Chronos though

calm wind
#

Well that was the single most cracked run I've had so far
(Ignore the fact that Chronos did that much damage, I was playing like a idiot because I wanted the sub 15 minutes)

That's some fun-ass legendaries! Did Demeter say anything super cool when she murdered your gramps for ya

Midshop in Olympus I took a Born Gain despite not really using the omega dash specifically thinking out loud "the only way I win this run is with Sun Worshipper" and it felt really good to get that payoff

unborn oracle
#

But i had unlocked only hecate as rival(alternate face ..the other bosses are the same)

#

How do i unlock the others?

crimson birch
# unborn oracle How do i unlock the others?

For most of them: beat both the underworld and surface rivals bosses that you have unlocked so far.
For Rivals 2 specifically: you need to have fought the rarer Rift of Thessaly miniboss as well as beating both Rivals Hecate and Rivals Polyphemus.

unborn oracle
#

Ok i understand

old oxide
#

didnt use high fear because it was just a little baptism for Hel, it was 2 seconds actually I didnt read it lol

Entirely forgot that rallying cry existed but here's my revenge run against Chronos for taking my 55f win away.. I'll get it eventually but until then I have completed the flames bounty.

Its not victory boasting but since the main chat doesnt allow pictures and I do want to boast about the size of this attack field

My 3rd 62F Aspect > Mel Black Coat
I have decided to embrace the fact that I keep leaving toula on even if gale is objectively better survivability
Also move speed from aspect + blinding rush + chaos meant I was absolutely zooming

Exceptional Talent only appeared before Typhon,and I only chose Task Force because Demeter's Godsent lines go hard, so I wanted more of them dusa

Been a death over strength guy the entire time I've played, but accidentally switched over and forgot to change it for this run. Realized in Thessaly i still had strength on and almost thought about resetting but thought I'd see it through! Probably gonna try using strength some more 😁

chain reaction my beloved

i think im finally done with hades 2, outside of checking out new patches

nope, having no healing would be way too stressful for me

i spent enough time suffering on 50 heat

rocky steppe

Fair

maybe ill end up getting bored and trying it on a different weapon down the line

#

besides that was a pretty perfect run to end on

561 damage to chronos is pretty crazy too

And with this run, I have sub 10 on all weapons :D

Well under :D What is the final damage-done entry, the rush?

orchid carbon
#

Yeah, dash and rush :D

#

Oh wait no that`s the sprint

#

I switched my game back to English to check lol

#

The final damage-done entry is the dash and the thing Melinoe does when she runs faster

rocky steppe

Sprint?

Yes

My fastest run yet :) I can't compare to you here, but I'm happy, at first I thought I wouldn't even finish the game :D

Circe 40F underworld FW + Judgement. Scuffed Erebus, spent all 4 DDs bc 45 seconds past deadline, but the endgame was nasty with power surge + mirrored thrasher + zeus attack blitz, also aphro on my doubled specials. last gasp was a funny compensation for my earlier struggles. Interesting Jeweled Pom interaction, since tough gain doesnt have level scaling, sacrificing it means the new boon will also start at level 1

wanton pelican
#

type of run you could take white antler and not even stress

wanton pelican
#

Mel staff 40F underworld FW + Judgement. Used up the hammer luck in the circe run but it definitely needed the help more than this one. This run was mediocre and boring but a win. pretty awful damage, but nexus rush made room clear quick enough that i could still take my time against bosses and play more safely without timer concerns. main takeaway was learning cerb and chronos telegraphs/timings for damage, gonna be useful on inevitable low boss damage runs like this

Perfect clear nothing went wrong fr fr
