[rancid flower]

Odd. They should change the “Poseidon waves” category to “Poseidon splash”

Even though it sounds stupid

[sly hill]

I think its starting to click. Wow that took me way longer than the first I feel like.

I had some victories around 40-44 in prerelease but stopped playing after the first couple of clears.

[solemn bane]

I think I just had the perfect Heph build on a Jeweled Pom run. Maximized all cooldowns thanks to Seismic Servo and Natural Selection, and got massive extra blast damage with Furnace Blast, Grand Caldera, and Cryo Pounder. Poor Typhon.

[pliant tiger]

shouldve used white antler

[solemn bane]

Honestly might've tried that if I had at least a little bit of shield going into the fight. Should've trusted myself.

Weird thing I just noticed: the game shows my Rushing damage separate from my Heph Blasts damage even though (I'd assume?) my Smithy Rush damage was included in my total Heph Blast damage. Unless there's a bug causing those to be counted separately? In which case I guess my total Blast damage was actually those two numbers combined.

[onyx sphinx]

I think i just did my first run where i didnt get damaged by Chronos.

[deft terrace]

yay second win, got hella lucky with this build ngl

[sly hill]

I think I couldve cracked 10mins on my first run with whatever that weapon is, wow that thing is wild. Got distracted with extra chambers though. Triple dash strike after strike had already been really boosted up was slaying. Aphrodite is wild in 2 as well.

[distant dock]

Typhon #2! (also Toula seems to be my fave Familiar so far)

[quick vigil]

50f, my pb so far. KLANG KLANG was all I heard trough the whole run

also Hel is fun

somehow I can't find the fun with other skulls, but this one is cool

[manic relic]

fig scammed in tartarus and a bad sirens fight 🥀 but this build insane lol

[autumn torrent]

underworld pb, apparently zero game sound and listening to music helps alot in calming the nerves

so far circe/mel staff and medea skull is my only ticket to high fear which is kind of ass but also not since theyre very fun weapons. Hopefully i get better at other weapons. If they had a bow weapon i deadass think id be doing surface high fear right now.

[worldly moat]

weakest high fear circe run

barely dropped lovers on chronos, and dodged his scythe throw properly again its getting a lot more comfy

[analog oasis]

Just did a 51 Fear run after dying every 67 run and won first try at it.

[pliant tiger]

not even close

[analog oasis]

?

[pliant tiger]

1 hp left

[analog oasis]

Its Chronos I have the most trouble with

Anyway Chronos is dead so it counted as a clear

[worldly moat]

2 more dodged scythe throws 🗣️

this chronos guy kinda a fraud

[regal shard]

welp that was close

[quick vigil]

Why not do 67f at this point ? You seem to be absolutely surfing on 62f lol

[regal shard]

Because I can't :(

I tried 65

Couldn't get to hec

[regal shard]

that's because of gale and lovers

without them I am deadge

[quick vigil]

Mmh I see

[rancid flower]

Why do I feel guilty when I don’t have rivals at max level

[worldly moat]

shoutout p2 2nd half gramps being harder than p3 atp

also a really clean damage board all things considered

[civic spade]

I missed like 3 death defiances and didnt even get echo’s death defiance boon when i encountered her, would have set a new record

[worldly moat]

timer messed with me a lot, demeter cast is just so slow without more support

still a clean run and my chronos p1 and p3 are getting a lot smoother, p2 is still a mess though in 2nd half

[manic relic]

this aspect is so fun 9/24

[rare parcel]

Sky Fall without Prism is... Eh, but Cascade is way better than I gave it credit for

Oh, and I definitely saw Coffin Nail triggering multiple times when a target got hit with multiple Omega Special shots, so that's cool

[manic relic]

this aspect is so much fun dude 200% speed mel is funny (10/24)

[rare parcel]

Even with Ares legendary, Carnal Pleasure's Heartthrobs doesn't appear on the damage board 😭

[manic relic]

atp i just accepted i'll never see it the top damage charts

but to be fair, i only got ares legendary in a boss room in tartarus so...

[rare parcel]

I have seen in on the damage board, even without Godsent and with the "lesser layout" that gives it the least updates, I just spam Omega Special and throw the hex when it's online, but even then the difference between regular and Godsent is notorious, even more when you don't have Ferocity

I kinda wish that Ares would have its own hex to be Godsent, and Sky Fall instead would have its power adjusted to not depent of Godsent Or make Selene herserl the Godsent, it's her aspect after all

[west karma]

defeated rivals typhon for the first time. he was shockingly easy

[rancid flower]

Vows: https://h2crossroads.pages.dev/FearCalculator/?vows=WzAsMCwwLDYsMCwzLDAsMCwwLDEsMiwwLDYsMCwyLDAsMTJd

Right before Chronos I finally got Heinous Affront and I had the Apollo, Zeus, and Ares boons for it

[rotund hamlet]

hitch attack anubis is fun

[analog oasis]

Hestia is also fun

[quartz lintel]

We out here in that dark necromancer build

Being able to steal a healy boi from chronos’s second phase to use in his third is so funny to me

[rare parcel]

I have used Supay in quite some ways that I noticed there was one I didn't try: one where I actually use my Sprint boon

(Also, Beach Ball babyyyyyyy)

[worn nimbus]

one of my last runs of 2025

[worn nimbus]

thats a really funny build

[frozen turtle]

still cant believe i genuinely got all this

[rare parcel]

Wanted to try how Sky Fall behaved without Godsent and... Ehh, it's fine

Island Getaway carried, though

[gilded ravine]

yum (typhon clip)

[stiff whale]

I’m actually so shocked but guys this was my first ever run against actually Typhon and I actually succeeded. I was actually really really surprised!! Especially cause I couldn’t see his health bar

[midnight mist]

Highest fear and I think fastest run

We casted some folks

[old mountain]

The wet dark necromancer (splash attack)

[maiden hawk]

mega-infused 👀

[pliant tiger]

first 62f of the new year

planning on redoing all my ass 62f clears

starting with this

gonna redo all of them with antler

run could've been faster if i wasn't forced to take the finest of lines 💔

[quartz lintel]

Funny final shop lol

[pliant tiger]

eos 62f redo cuz last eos clear had me take 300+ dmg to chronos

[blissful tundra]

65f Mel Blades Above and Below, One w/ Trick Knives & One Without (SGG pls balance this wep lol)
Surface (No TK): https://youtu.be/sCnzEITTJCM
UW (TK): https://youtu.be/Hbvt-et8YVk

[mellow grove]

So, I decided to making some foolish runs: No attacks, no specials, no casts. Only Toula. My usual complete times are 9-12 minutes, so these were painfully long. I actually do recommend trying this, though there are some issues 😄

In the underworld run, I got the Aphrodite Legendary (Fated list, so I went for it, sold it to a well afterwards) for Cerberus only, thus the scorch and Blitz showing. Shades were run into by accident, but it wasn't technically my damage 🤷

In the overworld run, the Summit gave me two rooms that have a fissure which Toula simply can't jump over. Luckily on this attempt all the enemies were flying / teleporting, but one of the Land Dracons in the second such room decided to stop in place on the wrond side of the gap, so I had to relent and show it my axe. Kinda spoils the run, but desperate times, I wasn't about to re-try this again. Volatile Coating was also Fated List, and I wasn't sure whether Olympic Slam would count, but these are not quite as annoying to me as having to attack the one enemy. If you attempt this, note that in Ephyra, you need to lure enemies close to the Pylons so that Toula will do collateral damage to the pylon, the damn cat won't attack them alone.

[strong lynx]

First 32f surface clear!
Got a nutty anubis/hestia build going that completely melted typhon (and even then I got monstered by the 4th phase)

[lofty oriole]

That sounds like a horrible experience.
Props for getting them done tho 🙏

I have legit never seen Olympic Slam or Volatile Coating as Top damage 😂

[mellow grove]

It was rather miserable at many points 😄 My next goal is to see how much I can up the fear and still make it. For once, 0 levels of Vow of Time 😄 😄

[lofty oriole]

I’d only do it once and call it a day tbh 😂

But fair play if you end up doing a 32F attempt with just Toula

62 Fear Persephone. Pretty terrible run all things considered but somehow worked out 😅

[mellow grove]

32 maybe a bit ambitious, but I think I could go for 24 🤔

[pliant tiger]

no white antler = fake

[gilded ravine]

damn no omega specials?

[lofty oriole]

Yeah I had a nice Antler run before this and lost to P3 timeslow 🙂 🙂

[pliant tiger]

then don't get timeslowed?

ez

[lofty oriole]

That's a pretty good idea actually

I'll beg him next time

[lofty oriole]

Never heard of that move in my life 🤪

[pliant tiger]

ngl i wish phase shift could counter chronos time slow

you dare use my own spells against me potter

[lofty oriole]

You use phase shift and then it just turns into a normal ass fight for the next 5 seconds 😂

[pliant tiger]

become an antler addict just like me

im redoing all my ass 62f clears and doing them with antler

[lofty oriole]

It was a nice run too. Heroic Volcanic strike with Caldera and Possessed array

Shame about the P3 💀

[pliant tiger]

surely next run will have parray room 1 and born gain room 2 right

[worldly moat]

goddamn this run sucked

i wasnt paying attention and denial'ed myself into hestia cast when i already had zeus, then she never showed up again so no pyro, accidently missclicked and lost an epic aphro special or sweet surrender, zeus literally never showed up again after the first boon that gave me his cast until right before gramps

hitless gramps aside my god this was scuffed

shoutout the 3 danaids i got though that kept me up to par

[worldly moat]

whether im goated or just carried, we will never know

actually tragic that i only got hit a few times that whole run

[pliant tiger]

circe specialist

where's the 67f?

[worldly moat]

also glowing coal is what howling soul wishes it could be

[worldly moat]

idk man 😔 ill run some attempts tonight since i think im a lot more comfy with the game as a whole

[pliant tiger]

nah I still stand by my opinion that howling soul is the goat ranged cast boon

[worldly moat]

lightning lance seems nutty if you just play kbm

[pliant tiger]

i don't play kbm i play on steam deck

when i tried kbm it felt so clunky and bad

ion get the controller hate

[worldly moat]

i like controller until the game randomly decides to aim my weapon in the most useless spot ever

the amount of times i was playing hel and it just decided to stop targeting the one guy attacking was insane

[pliant tiger]

eh that's the auto targeting for u

just disable for niche situations like that

i haven't really had any issues with the targeting so far so i can't slander it

[worldly moat]

its only been an issue for ranged cast stuff and skull so :P

staff its perfectly fine

[manic relic]

the game did NOT want me to get the ares poseidon duo i just wanted to see the cool red area on anubis (11/24)
also first run of 2026

[distant dock]

Typhon #3!

[onyx sphinx]

This set up was freaking insane

[regal shard]

could have been damageless if i wasn't playing the sirens like a bozo

lost all 4 bariers before p2

[harsh mica]

Excellence arcana working overtime to grant me two legendaries during a j-pom run

[old mountain]

9 trap damage smh

[pliant tiger]

boooooooooo get this kid out

9 trap dmg

[regal shard]

redemption?

[pliant tiger]

wailer being most dmg

[worldly moat]

Hestia might as well be trap damage 🥀

[pliant tiger]

https://tenor.com/view/cute-adorable-duckling-haha-classic-gif-17283485

[regal shard]

weilers are not real enemy

[pliant tiger]

whyd u take dmg to em anyway

[regal shard]

they asked calmly

and i was being nice

[pliant tiger]

how polite

[peak cypress]

Damn, 20 fear is so much easier when 3 of those are not Frenzy lmao

Bounty hunt 4/6 complete

[sly hill]

first 12f a little close for comfort.

Man yall get so many more boons, I gotta learn the secrets.

[rotund hamlet]

hey 25 is a lot

[winged sigil]

the secret ingredient is a post credits keepsake

[coarse island]

How do you do this stuff? 😭. The farthest I’ve gotten on 62 and it was a roller coaster of emotions so I just can’t rlly wrap my head around how people are this good at this game lol. Gg’s tho!

[winged sigil]

hit a cracked build early then grab snow queen and nitro boost

also gale and lovers

[coarse island]

Fair. I suppose also keeping your distance but I cannot do that it seems 😭. I hope I’ll get there one day though.

[winged sigil]

fyi this dude is the second person to land a damageless 62 so they're especially cracked in that regard

[coarse island]

Damn. That’s insane.. Even beating a regular 62 would be a dream of mine so that’s just wild.

[sly hill]

oh what timing, i got it the next run for 16f!

[oak stirrup]

probably the strongest build I've had yet ||and it was the one I eradicated Typhon with, very fitting|| I guess soon it is time for fear runs

[west karma]

heartthrobs actually did.. something? somewhat. but like cut above did more than them

[lethal flicker]

Normal Persephone run

[lofty oriole]

Got a Wantler 62F. Totally wasn’t close at all 👀

[pliant tiger]

full respect 💯

u are legendary now

https://tenor.com/view/cyclops-ryu-dap-me-up-dap-dap-up-gif-2485274535169214603

now where's the strength antler 62f

[peak cypress]

First time beating Rival Chronos. Gonna be honest, P3 felt easier than P2.

[pliant tiger]

yeah p2 is clusterf*ck

tho imma be real p3 is still harder

[peak cypress]

Maybe with Frenzy or with Time 3 it would be. But as is, simply having all that free space to dodge into is so insanely valuable.

[pliant tiger]

with frenzy on you'll definitely appreciate all that large space

chronos moves ultra instinct when he's at max frenzy

so the player fields is pretty even

[manic relic]

shoutout archaic seal, awesome work done on this run (12/24)

[west karma]

new personal best fear, and with the knives lol.

[rocky trout]

That’s a LOT of boons holy Hephaestus

[west karma]

hermes shop boon 🔥

[topaz yarrow]

fun build, people should go for love handles more

[rocky steppe]

Heartthrobs used to be way better

[topaz yarrow]

This build was genuinely better than any heartthrob build I ran pre nerf

[rotund hamlet]

only takes 3 duos for them to be 2nd place

[topaz yarrow]

Much harder to pull off but still

[topaz yarrow]

I got some of the duos pretty late

[rocky steppe]

I mean there's a cap, they're on a timer, you have to try way too hard for them to be good

[topaz yarrow]

I also could’ve gotten heph dash which could’ve helped

[topaz yarrow]

That’s true but they can still work

With Persephone they automatically detonate

[rotund hamlet]

do you know the timer?

[topaz yarrow]

Yeah

[rocky steppe]

A few seconds iirc

Maybe 3 or 4

[rare parcel]

Yes, I've got Psychic Whirlwind with Hammer and no, I didn't use Omega Attack even then. I was too dash-strike pilled to actually trying to get a Gain boon at this point

[orchid carbon]

Sub 8 blades--I now have sub 8 on half the weapons 😌

[noble ginkgo]

my first victory at the surface and in the game yay!!!

[rocky steppe]

Typhon before chronos is devious i respect it

[noble ginkgo]

!!

[sweet rivet]

Sub 20 surface run

[rocky steppe]

Not bad

[rare parcel]

Heartthrobs didn't appear on damage board, but in all fairness, there was a lot going on with this build

[flat hill]

100% Hades II completion, got the double now 🙂

[distant dock]

Typhon #4!

[worn nimbus]

i got reckless near the end

[hollow tendon]

yippie, i thought i'd activate time vow once and go for PB (was 22 min previously) and got 14min 😇

making some progress

[rocky steppe]

Now turn on timer 3

[hollow tendon]

gulp, i'll give it a try heh

i ran this, time and debt. Idk if I should go for anything else

[rocky steppe]

I'd do frenzy, hubris, denial, or rivals first

[analog oasis]

Menace also isn't a big issue seeing as you will encounter the new enemies in the next biome anyway

[rare parcel]

Certainly a build

[west karma]

might be a new surface pb? also no-hit typhon

[regal shard]

gale, lovers coward aspects = stonks. Also I dont pull off sth like this every run. I reset erebus if the build is dog water.

take safety boons as well. Freeze, snow queen, rigit rush etc

[unique raven]

Feels like a victory

Marvelous game

Thank you to all the team for this

87 hours, can now hang my weapons

[junior hill]

just got mine this week!!! 😄 ggs man

[mortal mist]

holy shi it's a miracle

[rocky lily]

what

[rocky lily]

absolutely dogshi playing still won because Zeus is broken

[pliant tiger]

locked in

[peak cypress]

Bounty 5/6 complete, plus defeated rival Typhon first try :3

[plush stirrup]

Zeus and Demeter glaze ❤️‍🩹

[sweet rivet]

HELL YEAH

beat him with it still on

[sly hill]

least fun build so far, felt like a slog the entire time. Crazy amount of diversity on damage though.

[plush stirrup]

how do you have two keepsakes-

[sly hill]

i accidentally pinned it, but didnt have it still

[manic relic]

Jeweled pom effect stays the entire night even if you switch keepsakes (and it shows up like that)

[plush stirrup]

OH

[manic relic]

A lot of other keepsakes can keep their effects even when changed

[regal shard]

bruh. I got damageless on momus before meli

[coarse island]

Fair. I just never know when to reset, I just kinda play every run out.

[onyx sphinx]

This absolutely melts anything unfortunate enough to step close to me

[south wigeon]

5th clear i believe skull seems very strong compared to the other weapons 🤔 (havent tried black coat yet lol)

[sly hill]

ah yeah this was a fun whim of fates run, couldve been WAY faster but I hit EVERY room I could, it was melting everything. 10/10

[dawn lantern]

Dipping back into the game because I had an urge to play Anubis. Got my LONE SHADES to the top of the damage board

[sly hill]

I uhhh forgot to turn off speed 3 before going into messing around with doing the only 3 arcana card set thing. I don't think ill ever have a closer moment

[rare parcel]

Island Getaway is kinda fun

[west karma]

so close to my first sub 10, if i had frenzy on it would've happened

[pliant tiger]

holy build

also you shouldve antlered it

[west karma]

i took too much damage from chronos for antler lol

not too sure i would've lived

trying it out now in fields because i need to rank it up

[pliant tiger]

eh chronos would've been phased in 0.5 seconds with parray blitz

[south wigeon]

beat typhon for the first time :D

[west karma]

cerberus sniped me when he was at a sliver of hp :/

but it's not max rank yet so if it was i would've gotten an extra crit or something and lived, so just gonna keep using it

[peak cypress]

Not like the biggest win, but this build got kinda out of hand xD

Still at 135 Life Tax as well xD

[split anvil]

new speedrun Pb woho!

[pliant tiger]

why no frenzy

frenzy decreases enemy spawn times

[mortal mist]

oh my lol

[gilded ravine]

selene scammed oceanus even with selene keepsake (and also no selene in fields), forced to ignore the aspect

[manic relic]

shoutout aromatic phial for rarifying buried treasure, truly wouldn't have won without it (13/24)

[last flower]

25 points away from losing it all!

[peak cypress]

Finally forged all bonds! :D

[manic relic]

not much to say about this one (14/24)

[west karma]

forgot to take the screenshot at the victory screen but new pb for surface

[rare parcel]

Trick Knives

[peak cypress]

Bounty hunt complete.

[manic relic]

lmao (15/24)

[gilded ravine]

free game

[ember bolt]

i dont think i can top this one for a faster run lol

i love those torches man theyre so goated

[covert glade]

hi I am a new speed runner and this is my PB on controller with mel staff

[gilded ravine]

yoo nice

[rare parcel]

🔨

[rare parcel]

Anubis is now probably my favorite staff

[unkempt mulch]

Jesus

[solemn bane]

Turned Aspect Of Moros into a machine gun, but the real stars here are the damage buffs from Tall Order, Rallying Cry, and a Heroic Discordant Bell. Just really fun fighting Typhon this way. (Missed the screenshot with the damage values so not sure what topped out, but I know Hera's Hitch was doing a lot of work for me up until Typhon.)

[unkempt mulch]

I play MTG so I dont know how I missed the fact that that says OR not AND

[broken mountain]

THE ONLY HP THAT MATTERS IS THE LAST POINT

[tall garnet]

I finally beat the summit and Typhon hitless
I've beat every single region and boss of the surface hitless now.... Just need to string it all together

[unkempt mulch]

I do not have the patience or the fortitude.

[unkempt mulch]

I beat chronos with no death def. left and 1 hit point. I commend you sir.

[rocky steppe]

So easy 62f

[tall garnet]

I've done the underworld no hit... But the surface sure is proving to be a hell of a lot more difficult

Probably only took me 2-3 hours to do the underworld, but I've been trying the surface for probably like 15 hours now.

[unkempt mulch]

That hurt me to read.

[analog oasis]

50 Fear Circe Staff

[viral basin]

Back to back first 36/24F runs

[analog oasis]

Moros is always a fun aspect.

[viral basin]

WTG with Circe, haven't tried it yet

[analog oasis]

What does WTG stand for?

[viral basin]

Way to go

[analog oasis]

Oh. Thank you.

[viral basin]

Oh no I'm old

[analog oasis]

I'm not old

I was suggested by someone to use Vow of Scars and whoever said that, thank you, its basically free Fear.

[analog oasis]

What do I pom? Don't wanna lose the run here

[rocky steppe]

Doesn't look like it'll make a big difference either way

Bell at 67 is wild tho

[analog oasis]

I am a certified masochist

[analog oasis]

Is the run basically over then?

[worldly moat]

I mean 1hp r3 on pin is dubious work

And a pom level wont make or break anything

[analog oasis]

Or will the bell kill me?

[analog oasis]

Can I reset my HP with the pin seeing as it resets every room?

Pretty sure it can

[worldly moat]

Yeah fs but still, like from a raw survivability standpoint unless you raw hitless the entirety of tartarus and gramps it's rough to say if youll win

[worldly moat]

That too

[analog oasis]

So there's a chance...

[gilded ravine]

chomp

[analog oasis]

I'll take it

[worldly moat]

Yeah just dont get hit

[analog oasis]

No guarantees

[gilded ravine]

holy

[analog oasis]

Im gonna get Hestia attack to level 10

Then activate pin

[worldly moat]

Also shoutout no gain on persephone

Unless autofire is just the better strat

[analog oasis]

I have gotten to max fear Chronos 19 times 3rd phase always gets me

[analog oasis]

Onion

[analog oasis]

Yes

Well I am gonna pom up and lock in now

Made it to Echo

Bell is at 10%

Which to take?

Im leaning Driver but wanna hear others imput?

[rocky steppe]

Driver

[worldly moat]

Id say melting unless im just crazy

[rocky steppe]

Both are good

[analog oasis]

I will toss a coin heads for driver, tails for melting

[worldly moat]

I value armor breaking a lot

[analog oasis]

Tails

Melting it is

Dead

[worldly moat]

Happens to the best of us

[analog oasis]

Cerberus

And 15 seconds left on the clock so it was gone anyway

[analog oasis]

What aspect to use next?

Been doing Persephone for 67 for extra levels and... that was the result

Going Medea I feel

I will do same Keepsakes

[worldly moat]

Uhhhh be funny and do like nergal

[rotund hamlet]

if you're doing 67 why not do one that hasn't been done

[analog oasis]

Has 67 Persephone been done?

[analog oasis]

It got me to Chronos multiple times

[rotund hamlet]

i thought it had but cant find it

[worn nimbus]

thanks yall for the build

[analog oasis]

Okay. Let's vote on that to use next pit a ✅️ for use and 👎 for do not

Nergal

Persephone

Medea

[worldly moat]

Yeah

Didnt vyt do mel and persephone skull same day 😭

[analog oasis]

I also did 62 Nerg before and it got me to gramps in a past 67

Nergal it is

[analog oasis]

Has 67 Nerg been done?

[worldly moat]

Nope

Mel axe is the only one that has

[analog oasis]

Oh

Let's do it

[analog oasis]

Seems for extra survivability

[rotund hamlet]

sounds horrible w/o sorceress

[analog oasis]

Time to die in horrifying ways

How do I record runs on Switch 2?

[rotund hamlet]

i think you need a capture card

[analog oasis]

I am using Switch 2 docked (just got a new dock)

Died in Erebus

Artemis room!!

[analog oasis]

Do 67 fear clears count if you don't have it?

[rotund hamlet]

likely the community would count it as a seeded/modded run, if anything

[analog oasis]

I reset every time

[rotund hamlet]

without the recording who's to say

[analog oasis]

Room 1 done

[worldly moat]

My biggest fear is clearing a 67 then realizing im not recording 🥀

[analog oasis]

My poor butt doesn't have herself a capture card, so Im doing this for fun

What to get

Leaning Iron Core

[rotund hamlet]

i feel like dashing heave is the only way to live timer

[analog oasis]

Fair point

I will go for dashing

Going to Chaos

Saying Hi to Nyx

What to pick?

2:50 is on the clock at encounter 6

[analog oasis]

Amy Hestia boon recommendations?

[rotund hamlet]

i dont play nergal enough to know how to play it effectively but your timer is looking horrible so id go top

[analog oasis]

Ok

Got Arachne after

And then Charon after

I am now dead

Okay

What other weapons haven't been used?

Moros?

Supay?

[rotund hamlet]

supay definitely not done because it starts so terrible

[analog oasis]

Ok

[rotund hamlet]

cant find a list

[worn nimbus]

goddam i locked in

[analog oasis]

So far in Supay run

[analog oasis]

Yeah this is guaranteed failure

[rotund hamlet]

yup even with zeus special its so hard to do anything

[analog oasis]

Doing Moros now

Gigaros dash> Onion> Selene

Do i start over?

[worldly moat]

Lowkey yeah

I hate getting selene on 67

[analog oasis]

Going okay so far

@rotund hamlet

What to pick?

[rotund hamlet]

gotta be 1

[analog oasis]

Sworn Strike

Nemesis wanted to hit me then Charon room at 3:09!

Then fountain room

Now Arachne??? Skipped half of Erebus

Ok beat Hec with this much time left

Had the Fates never been kinder, this would be a fail

Now to equip my bell

Now going to Chaos after encounter 1 Oceanus

And now Narcissus

Broke Onion in Hellifish lair

Sirens beat

@rotund hamlet what is the next best Keepsake for fields?

56 seconds left

Thinking about Antler for Tart

Or Sash for fields seeing as the sirens nearly ended my run

What to choose? Bridal Glow?

[analog oasis]

This actually saved me during Sirens

Thank you!

Now tartarus

Lost all armor

@rotund hamlet

What do I pick?

Hestia and Magick i did

[rotund hamlet]

so howd it go 👀

[analog oasis]

Yes!

@rotund hamlet

Got Miasma'd during Cerberus and lost my armor

[regal shard]

gg

[analog oasis]

Thank you

I had 2 seconds left

I just wanna say now that I am calmed, thank you all for the support to beat that.

[winged sigil]

??? was this unseeded? did you save the vod?

[analog oasis]

Yes I saluted the Oath

[worldly moat]

Theyre on a switch with no capture card, so no recording

[winged sigil]

the vod dirt monster, do you have the vod

BROOOO

[analog oasis]

I did the best I could by basically narrating here

[winged sigil]

we finally get a max fear magick aspect win and there's no vod 😭

at which point did you take discordant bell

[peak cypress]

Well.... that's my first sub 10 lmao
I wasn't even trying to go all that fast until I noticed my time at the start of Tartarus lmao

[analog oasis]

Oceanus

[winged sigil]

why not... take time piece?

[graceful epoch]

Discordant bell is better

[analog oasis]

Reason is whenever I take anything other than the bell for luck, I die in Oceanus.

[worldly moat]

Bell is funnier

[analog oasis]

Exactly

[graceful epoch]

Clearly the bell is key to clearing 67 fear

[analog oasis]

Its not

[worldly moat]

Without bell they would've timed out

[analog oasis]

Indeed

[graceful epoch]

@nintendo let switch 2 record, that 67 clear with discordant bell should've had a vod

[analog oasis]

Only 2 seconds left.

[worldly moat]

First 67 with bell too huh

Not having a recording is actually so sad

[winged sigil]

first win above 62 with bell i think

[analog oasis]

Switch 2 does have the capability but I don't think Ninty would do that for money and spitting in our faces.

[graceful epoch]

Wait so do Switch users just have a thing for being spat on by Nintendo? 😳

[analog oasis]

I got Switch 2 as a birthday gift from a friend in Japan

Now I gotta do ZA mega stones.

Half of Erebus was basically skipped because of luck with charon shops and fountains and Arachne.

Had that not have happened that run would have failed

[analog oasis]

Now I am wondering if clipping 30 second clips switch does would work for future runs?

[rotund hamlet]

would be cool to watch but i dont think it helps the veracity of the run

[analog oasis]

Yeah I gotta get a capture card

I mean, can using one ban me from online when I use it? Nintendo has been doing that if you use unofficial accessories

Also expensive

Just looked and saw 300$ prices

[peak cypress]

Me when I keep attacking (look at the damage taken chart)

[analog oasis]

Bro

Chaos was on my screen too but not 942

[peak cypress]

fyi, if you keep proccing the curse at 1 HP, it won't actually drop you to 0. So as long as you don't take any damage from other sources, you're fine xD

[pliant tiger]

no recording huh? just like me fr

i could record but im too lazy

[analog oasis]

I could mod my Switch 2 to record but at the risk of a ban 🤔

Idk if thats even possible yet

Inadvisable on my end

[analog oasis]

I did basically narrate through if you scroll up but yeah....

Did what I could

[peak cypress]

You could theoretically set up an actual physical camera to record your gameplay at all times lmao

[pliant tiger]

darkseidphil ahh method

[analog oasis]

I didn't think of that. But I also have no device like that and I am using a phone to update this server of my progress through that 67 fear run

No other recording device

[pliant tiger]

eh u can just update us later with like one big message

plus recording should be enough

[analog oasis]

Was too caught up and asking for suggestions for boons.

Now onto 67 Fear Discordant Bell surface

Never gonna happen likely

[worldly moat]

super messy warmup 62

also shoutout athena and echo both missing dd refils and none being in shops

[pliant tiger]

dont tell me ur gonna discordant bell start on 67f surface 💀

[worldly moat]

also shoutout apollo dash being the best dash in the game

[analog oasis]

No

I used Jeweled Pom in Erebus

I'd equip it in Thessaly or Olympus

[pliant tiger]

ok fair enough

[analog oasis]

Know what? I am a masochist. Thanks for the challenge that can never be completed.

Maybe if I complete the first one on surface

Then I do that

[pliant tiger]

oh no

[analog oasis]

And maybe I will be rich enough by then to have a capture card

[molten monolith]

32 fun run on charon and sub 12 on the clock

[analog oasis]

Nice job

Charon is a fun Axe aspect to use.

[molten monolith]

very odd momus run, the atk was a tad bit underwhelming. Guess you need island getaway duo to make it work.

[pliant tiger]

the soup is delicious, first ever supay 65f underworld clear

[delicate ruin]

its not THAT good but its my 4th run on a new save so not bad.

[pliant tiger]

@lofty oriole

[analog oasis]

Congratulations 🎊

[covert glade]

And on the 250th clear nice

[peak cypress]

Finished Great Chaos Below aaaand.....

Got 100% completion with it! :D

[manic relic]

16/24 elephant rockets makes this aspect a lot more fun

[graceful epoch]

dashing heave

[old mountain]

Not 67f smh

[plush stirrup]

This has to be my most beautiful run ever
Hera and Aphordite glaze

[plush stirrup]

Wait, how y'all have 2 keepsakes? Someone told me about it but it doesnt work on me or unless I shouldn't have godly gifts

[graceful epoch]

jeweled pom remains in effect even when unequipped

[plush stirrup]

I'll still see, it strangely doesn't remain in effect for me, even if it is prioritised

[graceful epoch]

are you by any chance putting on a keepsake that disables fates whim?

[plush stirrup]

No, I believe it's this Arcana card, does it count as disabling fates whim?

[graceful epoch]

no it does not. wait... you are actually putting your pom on in erebus, right?

since oyu mentioned prioritising

[plush stirrup]

I haven't done a run with it in the underworld yet, only the surface so far, and I have been using Zag's card instead

[graceful epoch]

thaaaaaaat would be why your pom isn't active, it remains active when unequipped but you do have to start the run with it

[plush stirrup]

But it seems like that is the solution, should be on in the first region because I did a run with zag's card first then pom second which I realised that I should have swapped

[plush stirrup]

Ohhh yayyy

[pliant tiger]

id rather put myself in ger deathloop than supay 67f

[rare parcel]

Ok, after multiple runs with Aspect of Selene, I can say Prism is probably not a must have, but Ferocity is a must

Cascade instead of Prism is kinda neat, but this hex without Ferocity is... Not great lmao

[pliant tiger]

ferocity should be built into skyfall tbh

also lower the magick requirement for skyfall

and then selene would not be ass

[rare parcel]

Agree with Ferocity, or make Omen to make it increase damage per hit, and give it another Bright upgrade, because Omen itself is... Pretty meh imo

Not sure about the cost, I don't feel 60 Magick is that expensive

[pliant tiger]

four omega specials just to dish out a mid ass hex is not worth the effort tbh

i think 30-50 magick should suffice

[rare parcel]

I'd not oppose to make it 40, the already existing Level VI upgrade makes Premium Service worth

[pliant tiger]

but that requires a legendary and u don't encounter legendaries every single run

[rare parcel]

No, no, I meant that I could see the case for Sky Fall having a 40 Magick cost because how valuable Premium Service is now on it

[pliant tiger]

oh ok

imagine skyfall being 20 magick

its just like one omega special and cut above away

[rare parcel]

Actually, I find kinda weird that the thing that scales with upgrades is the cost... Maybe something that improves Omega Special instead (channeling speed?)

[pliant tiger]

omega special already has very fast channel time

[rare parcel]

Tbh, I am not sure what to suggest on that specific regard

[pliant tiger]

but that would make other omega useless (but who uses them anyway)

cost is fine for upgrade scale tbh

[covert glade]

Thats a really good clear time on a 4th run

[frozen turtle]

this might've been my fastest clear yet. the damage stacking was so crazy. origination + furies + all of this. poor chronos was dead 30 seconds after he entered phase 2

[delicate ruin]

Oh really? I think it was the hestia boons. They've become my favorite tbh

[covert glade]

considering @frozen turtle 's post above yeah, and they have jeweled pom already. I feel like I always grab Hestia when I see her

[frozen turtle]

hestia is indeed bestia

[agile marsh]

Simply acquire a COSMIC amount of health LOL

[south wigeon]

I didnt like the axe at first, but then i tried thanatos axe and now it might be my favorite lol

[analog oasis]

Wait till you reveal its secret aspect.

[turbid grove]

I just found this drawing in game

[analog oasis]

Been doing 67 surface runs starting with Bell and made it to Poly once.

But never after that

How thats going so far

[analog oasis]

I tried that last night

Didn't go all too well. Starting sucks massively and then you time out not even halfway through Erebus

[winged sigil]

62 fear with all aspects on both paths

[rotund hamlet]

which aspect was the hardest

[regal shard]

I have crimson dress now

[regal shard]

also insane life tax value 🔥

[timber storm]

Just got my first 32 darkness W

[rare parcel]

I took no damage on the last phase, cool!

[analog oasis]

What vows did you do?

[rare parcel]

[manic relic]

17/24 scorch broken

[worn nimbus]

this combo went full heaven to hell heroics and duos

[coarse island]

That’s actually wild lol. G frickin’ G.

[coarse island]

Insane as well. Y’all are insane.

[worn nimbus]

he is insane

[coarse island]

Ik lol.

[molten hamlet]

Ares and Hera and their funtime companions.

[manic relic]

18/24 this is probably THE craziest build i've done in this game (with reckless abandon of all things)

[analog oasis]

What was the thought process behind a common Reckless Abandon? 🤔

[manic relic]

gambling

[analog oasis]

Ah

[manic relic]

i mean, most damage would come from poseidon waves anyway and i had great attack speed
and i love gambling

[analog oasis]

Just for the lols then I take it?

[manic relic]

i wouldnt normally take it tbh that was probably still a bad choice but i chose it for fun anyway

[analog oasis]

It worked out I guess

Same thing goes for Discordant Bell for me.

I use it in most runs

[molten hamlet]

honestly, fun is the most important thing.

[analog oasis]

I agree with that 💯

[regal shard]

https://youtu.be/XqSMTVWY9QE?si=icZMEPTQebp8v1CF
I was asked in the boated discord to capture vod. Here I got another. Warning, it's kinda damageless and the gameplay was also horrible

Also apologies for no audio

[rocky lily]

3 omega attack and 1 120magick hex is absolutely insane. The omega attack on itself could've won the game easily with all the boons and hammer for it

and ofc the hex can crit and I have success rate

sadly no Apollo legendary

the only thing I was actually going for the whole game

just found out about riposte and parry this evening, was absolutely going crazy to make this work

[sly hill]

gonna take back all the slanderous thoughts i had about skull.(I tried it once and hated it). Anyways holy crap this was disgusting.

[unkempt mulch]

How are people getting all of these Heroic level boons???

[sly hill]

I run high % upgrades in arcana, and use trinkets pretty heavily with rerolls.

[unkempt mulch]

So rerolls can get you higher level boons and not just different ones?

I didn't realize that rerolls had an effect on rarity.

[sly hill]

its a reroll of the boons it offers, rarity and all, so you can run arcana to up your chance for higher quality, then use trinket to upgrade. So basically Epics become heroics easily, and you can dictate your gods/goddesses using trinkets.

[unkempt mulch]

Phenominal. Thanks for the tip!

[rare parcel]

No Coffin Nail

[distant dock]

So apparently, if you pause the game while in the Chronos fight, he just kinda... roasts you for it lol

[rocky lily]

facetank nergal (with funny heartthrobs thanks to apollo aphro duo)

I stopped giving a shi about the damage I take

[winged sigil]

probably selene?

[analog oasis]

Selene aspect demands you utilize Sky Fall

Otherwise the dps is off

[winged sigil]

i used it like a worse mel coat

[analog oasis]

I used the Hex for extra damage with The Moon Arcana active. Got it to 40 or so Fear

Maybe higher

May try a 62 with it

[gilded ravine]

classic

[pliant tiger]

yo biggest denial troll ive seen wtf

what boon did u get denial trolled for

[rocky lily]

Turns out Hecuba was overkill lmao. Tried getting the Apollo Legendary just for more Pike, Heartthrobs, and Hex. But sadly 0 apollo appearances in 4 region and I used all my rolls

[frosty bridge]

What keepsakes dod u use

[rocky lily]

Hera in 1st, Demeter in 2nd, and Apollo in 3rd

[frosty bridge]

Oh got it

[rocky lily]

yeah now that I think about it switching apollo and demeter around would probably be better

[gilded ravine]

demeter took blitz special

was already applying giga scorch so wasn't that bad of a loss

[frosty bridge]

I think charon keepsake at end is not good

Probably knuckle bones would have been better

[rocky lily]

Oh I used it just for leveling up lmao

my Knuckles is already level 3

[frosty bridge]

Oh 😂 😂 😂

[rocky lily]

the only reason haha I had plenty of money

[frosty bridge]

I was judging you....slightly....

😭

But it's good you got to witness the aspect of random bull go

[rocky lily]

nah it's fine lol

[molten monolith]

finally did everything under 10 min, now time for 32 fear everything before 62 fear

[frozen turtle]

sub 3m typhon kill. i found out meli has a line when u get typhon to the first egg phase quick enough (she yells at him "but you just got here!" when he runs away)

[rocky steppe]

Sub 3 minute?

[frozen turtle]

yah i think

[regal shard]

new dress in the wardrobe

[worldly moat]

Bros collecting hitless 62s like candy instead of doing 65 🥀

[regal shard]

I am redoing all my damageless rn cuz of vod

I am uploading

[rocky steppe]

Wierd thing to highlight

[regal shard]

https://youtu.be/rTQykyow3lM?si=4E-7K8O67Lx6g1tA

[covert glade]

Heh now do the base of the mountain to victory screen in 3min

[rocky steppe]

As in whole summit?

[covert glade]

the speedrun world record is 5min11sec haha

[rocky steppe]

I know

[covert glade]

I haven't been doing surface speedruns, i am still trying to break sub 6min in the underworld

[rocky steppe]

You do summit and olympus in just about 3 minutes

[covert glade]

oh oh

[rocky steppe]

What's your pb?

[covert glade]

yeah I wasn't 100% serious about doing it all in 3min

my pb is 6:03.37, I submitted yesterday it's still pending

[rocky steppe]

Pretty good

I need to record a faster run, my only one is a 7.33 shiva

Pb being 5.30 medea

[covert glade]

whoa nice! I haven't bothered with medea bc everyone is so fast with it already

im just doing staff

[rocky steppe]

It's definitely the easiest but you can get sub 6 on almost any aspect

[plush stirrup]

Tw: possible spoilers when mentioning this for others reading lol
What is that ||fate altered||? 😭 is it the ||acceptance of a new fate|| incantation?

How does it work? Searched it, tried the Reddit guide, but I've never seen that

[covert glade]

its an in game reroll of the seed for all the boons/paths/etc.

[manic relic]

18/24 epic heph attack start moment

[deft terrace]

this was a fun run tbh

[manic relic]

why no familiar

[deft terrace]

accidentally didnt pick one 💀

[manic relic]

been there

[pliant tiger]

wait how do u do that

unequip or not pick a familiar

[deft terrace]

unequipped and forgot to pick one before going

[quick vigil]

Well unequip it for upgrading or changing skins and then you enter the run without picking one

[pliant tiger]

ah i see

next clear coming: 62f circe without familiar

[manic relic]

i did this once, wanted to pick gale but she was already with me and didnt realize i left her behind 😭

[quick vigil]

Encountering Circe herself with her aspect but without pet and she'd be like "Are you stupid ?..."

[pliant tiger]

it's just gonna be lvl 1 mel staff 🔥 🔥 🔥

dual moonshot ain't saving this one

[manic relic]

19/24 i still rather play this even without trick knives than to play selene

[south wigeon]

first time using medea ( very high fear ik )

[pliant tiger]

another eos 62f redo, maybe poseidon is the goat

[manic relic]

20/24 i'm starting to like more and more going card region 2 just to make funny builds

[deft terrace]

finally first time beat typhon !!

[rocky lily]

I miss Tidal Dash

[rare parcel]

Double Epic Creation, oh wow

[analog oasis]

Had this happen in a fun non serious 62 run

Happened after an unfortunate Hecate fight >.<

Rest of the run went smoothly

Gramps got killed

[rocky lily]

gosh this run was packed with possibilities

I spent 6 stones on rolls on Zeus miniboss room before pom pom pom and didn't get it anything (Zeus/Ares or Zeus/Hera)

[worldly moat]

shoutout scylla being the most insuffrable thing in this game

[regal shard]

no its hecate. You turn to pig

[rain raptor]

My 32 fear run with keyboard only... didn't screenshot the the 34 or 36 fear ones so.... idk when i do them again or beat an even harder version the proof will be shown

Wrong one lol

Poseidon attack with sloppery slope is very op

[coarse island]

Forgot to put on death but somehow did it with strength anyways. Second 55f for me!!

[rain raptor]

Strength is always better anyway

[coarse island]

Ehhh, I suppose? For most things it is but if you're getting hit by small enemies like a truck then Death is pretty nice, especially with Wantler.

I prefer strength but when I get for 62 there's not a chance I'm doing that lol. I plan to antler.

[analog oasis]

Unless Vow of Scars is fully activated. Then I go for Death

[south wigeon]

new fastest :D

[rocky steppe]

Take raki and antler final region instead

[south wigeon]

doesnt antler lower my hp to like 30

i took way too much damage from chronos

[rocky steppe]

If you have the damage from antler chronos won't be able to hit you

[south wigeon]

hmm i did kill him pretty fast with more dmg i wouldve barely gotten hit you might be right

[rocky steppe]

https://imgur.com/a/2G0u6wu

He just straight up doesn't really attack

[south wigeon]

Oh

damn

[flat crow]

Cast builds are so fun

[manic relic]

denial forced me to switch grisly gain to born gain, massive upgrade (21/24)
also, calling card for heroic racing toughts + circe upgrading sorceress was insane

[covert glade]

Nice! Do you have all the arcana cards and keepsakes maxed?

[rotund hamlet]

how does keyboard only aiming work? or did you not aim

[rain raptor]

No aiming. Basically any skull build is practically unusable. Tho a cast build with cerce actually benefits since you're keyboard is even more responsive than you're mouse.

Thought that depends. I prefer to use the arrow keys for movement personally. And space bar for dash

Z, x, c, for attack cast and special.

S for Seleni (thought i don't particularly like her unless im using hera

Autoaim can be used tho with how fast medea needs to be it's just very inconsistent. Again at 0 fear i could barely beat Polythemus which is... pathetic

Thought... would be nice if someone were willing to try it out. I am clearly the only one here who has pushed the game into the 30s with keyboard only and i do plan on pushing it to it's absolute limit but... you know.

This could be a fun side project for anyone interested 🤔

[analog oasis]

Doing this once again. Wish me luck

[worldly moat]

Please record it this time twin 🙏

[analog oasis]

No capture card still

[worldly moat]

You have a phone 🥀 prop it up or something

[analog oasis]

Okay

[analog oasis]

Do you want me to also take Discordant Bell this time around?

[worldly moat]

Lmao sure

[analog oasis]

Its what let me win last time

I guarantee you I would time out

Here's a Supay run

Thats my future fear thing i wanna do

[rare parcel]

Not listed here: Tidal Ring + Heroic Winner Circle. Despite all that, it did not appear on the damage board

[rare parcel]

Everything before touching Rivals and Time... Based tbh

[analog oasis]

Did you get Seismic Servo?

[rare parcel]

Nope!

[analog oasis]

After getting used to Rival and Time fights. Both are basically free Fear unless you look at my 67 clear it almost killed me.

2 seconds to spare

[rare parcel]

Oh, right, Poseidon Waves was the cast

[brave river]

Not a game victory, but still boast worthy. I have obtained the peak confidant to confide in. Who needs a diary when you have Frinos?

[prime cipher]

What's the most amount of Death Defiance you've ever used in a run? Call me a cat but this is just excessive...

[worldly moat]

If you get athenas stubborn defiance iirc every pop of it counts for last gasp

[prime cipher]

ngl this run was so cooked.
I lost 2 to Hecate because it was my first time against her second form
I lost 2 to Scylla because I was awful
I lost 2 to Cerberus
I lost 2 to Chronos

I misplaced the other one. (forgot)

[prime cipher]

I think I remember that but not sure if I am remembering from Hades I

I had
3 regular
1 Tula
1 Skelly tooth
1 from Well
1 "buy any random item and pray"
1 from Charon final shop

And idr where the last one came from.

Who would have thought trying to remember how I obtained and lost 9 death defiances would be difficult

I JUST SAW MY STATS

I TOOK MORE DAMAGE TO HECATE THAN CHRONOS?!?!?!

[abstract pike]

65 fear Mel axe and 65F Nyx in UW just leaves blades left for all wep 65s up and down

[worldly moat]

When's the 67 twin

[knotty lake]

Yipie

[deft terrace]

oh new time record even tho i didnt even aim for a fast run lol

[rocky lily]

I tried getting Poseidon/Heph boon as well but unlucky

[soft saddle]

pb!! ignore that i took 70 dmg from hecate

[vale lark]

2nd win lets go

selene witj apollo came in clutch

[knotty lake]

Aye

[rocky lily]

my damage was minimal

[knotty lake]

Almost hitless

[rocky lily]

Yes very close to hitless indeed

[old mountain]

Holy damage batman

But still almost hitless

[rocky lily]

I got 30 second left so decided to just face tank everything and he took my 2 death defiances using the one shot move lol

[covert glade]

Actually, one speedrun strat is to get light smite and take damage intentionally on hecate to instantly wipe the adds while she's invulnerable

[analog oasis]

Barley Sheaf in Tart?

[rocky lily]

Yes wanted the duo and more water boons lmao

Otherwise my damage will be absolute 0

No pun intended

[analog oasis]

I see

[rocky lily]

Icy

[analog oasis]

Gotta make a Chronos meme now based on this

[old mountain]

Better to play safe as timer only does 5dmg ever few seconds

[rocky lily]

Oh I've never reached timer lmao

It's every few seconds? Back in H1, it was flat 5hp/s no?

[old mountain]

It dosnt feel like every second but my grasp on time is very bad

[rocky lily]

I think it's per second lol

[old mountain]

All I know is 5min go brrrr then timer tick goes super slow

Poison does more damage than timer imo

[rocky lily]

Oh yeah f poison

[old mountain]

Tho poison from h2 has nothing on h1 poison oml

[analog oasis]

How my after work has been going

Not smoothly

In my experience if you don't get Hera in roo 3 to 4, its over

And Sworn Strike

Like so

And in my 67 clear it relied on having an Onion + Gigaros Dash in the first room.

[old mountain]

Where is everything T-T basically boonless

[regal shard]

wait it this new? Or is this yesterday's run?

[analog oasis]

This is the other day

[regal shard]

if new then dang. Congrats

[analog oasis]

Not new

[regal shard]

Oh

[analog oasis]

Warming up rn

May do a max fear Medea run later

[analog oasis]

You can tell it isn't new since the banner is next to the Fear Icon

If anyone is curious, don't bother with the omega special, just hold attack down, dash to where the flames are, special. Clears out rooms efficiently

Until of course you get access to gain boons and more magick

[analog oasis]

Here is a clip of one of my Warm-Up runs from the other day

[pliant tiger]

oh so u can record

[analog oasis]

Only 30 seconds apart

[frozen turtle]

i got hell splitter at the end on the anvil but honestly it was really fast with thanatos and rapid hack; i was doing roughly 1.3k damage per swing. ALSO 20F DONE ON THE AXE

[molten hamlet]

Jeez.. im glad is i can get through with like.. several hundred taken

[midnight mist]

So anyway I started castin

[midnight mist]

Lol this happened to me too, was pissed I got hell splitter but ended up not mattering

[covert glade]

sub 6 minutes on mel staff babyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

beat my PB by 20 seconds too

[abstract pike]

I need the weakest 67f player to get to Chronos, so I can be the 2nd weakest 67f player and beat Chronos lol

I haven't ran max fear in a while. So I still haven't made it past sirens 😔

[pliant tiger]

rivals 4 pb

[quick vigil]

We're sending upside down pictures now?

[analog oasis]

My bad

[quick vigil]

[pliant tiger]

yeah stranger things already ended upside down aint cool anymore

[pliant tiger]

we taking sideways pictures now

[analog oasis]

You can read it

[quick vigil]

Almost, only 90° away

[analog oasis]

Point is Life Tax gets Moros through that.

Didn't have it in my previous 67 clear

Should I equip my bell? Or something else?

[rotund hamlet]

just use the chrolex lol quit this bell stuff

[analog oasis]

It pulled through before

But Chrolex it is

[rotund hamlet]

nothing short of a miracle

[analog oasis]

31 seconds

Is the timer looking bad?

[rotund hamlet]

you could leaf if youre scared

[analog oasis]

Oh

👍

I can reach the Sirens in about 2 minutes with this i think

With Leaf

Cerberus may be a pain though

[regal shard]

Guys. I finally got it

[quick vigil]

Don't tell me you can't do 67f after that

Go, do it

[pliant tiger]

67f damageless when

[regal shard]

No 67

[pliant tiger]

also join speedcord you'll become a legend there

[regal shard]

Also arcana was coward gameplay

I started with lovers and huntress

and cast that give speed buff i think

[pliant tiger]

eh a clear is a clear

[pliant tiger]

https://discord.gg/7d4kq69FN

[wheat grove]

first ever win

[analog oasis]

So Cerberus just ended another 67 run with Miasma

[pliant tiger]

did u record

[rocky lily]

Is Skyfall this bad

By the time I charge Skyfall the whole room's already dead

might as well play aspect of mel

lmao

[manic relic]

stupidest circe build of all time (22/24)
this was insanely fun btw falling blades are so goated

[manic relic]

yeah trying to build into the hex kinda sucks

[rocky lily]

Yeah I did everything for the Hex lmao

it's so trash why

[manic relic]

too long to charge, coat omegas are kinda bad, and the hex itself is mid

[rocky lily]

id rather play Night bloom

I mean after that run I learn about blockable attacks

[pliant tiger]

if ferocity was built into skyfall and skyfall had same cost as twilight it would be ok

[rocky lily]

But i'll never do it again

Yeah it took me like 3 fully charged omega attack wtf

before getting the boons to add the cost to omegas

[pliant tiger]

just do omega specials they're faster

[rocky lily]

I mean omega attack helps you block

I feel like the Coat's special is very very inconsistent

I'll never use this aspect again

[pliant tiger]

blocking is very inconsistent anyway tbh

the fact that some attacks which look blockable but aren't is kinda bs

[strong ravine]

Didn't think I'd make it.

[cursive panther]

I DID IT I HAVE KILLED || TYPHON ||

[sharp hazel]

Was a pretty fun build for a first time Circe Staff

[quick vigil]

Is there a real chance that SGG throw a balance patch at some point ?
(I started H1 after H2 EA, so I don't know how long they keep updating their games)

[pliant tiger]

i mean they can but i don't think they will tbh

the fact that gilgamesh still exists in h1 proves my point

they could've reworked that along with almost all of zag aspects and half of h1 boons but they didnt

still a great game regardless

[quick vigil]

Right

[rocky lily]

Where's my Controlled burn fu hestia

[lofty oriole]

Ooo congrats 🙏

Got my 62F just now

Somehow didn’t manage to get a sprint. But Romantic Spark was sufficient 👌

[molten hamlet]

Freezer Burn is just fun to play

dont roast me.. i forgot to change keepsakes at the summit

[lofty oriole]

Just means you didn’t need one to beat Typhon 💪

[molten hamlet]

lo. fair.

[pliant tiger]

yeah rush boons are fake on supay

my fastest 62f supay run

had everything but a rush boon

[deft terrace]

first revaal run ever went surprisingly well

[gilded ravine]

archaic seal carry

[worldly moat]

shoutout my no lovers 62 practice

hitless gramps, hitless hecate, scylla was clean minus one mistake that cost me all that damage and cerb i was just playing weird

also rapture ring circe, for my first time using it it felt pretty clean and easy, the cc was super super nice

[molten hamlet]

the white antler scares me. bosses are the ones that get me.. so

[worldly moat]

Im practicing for 67f so antler is necessary for chronos

[covert glade]

If you have the lovers arcana card maxed, thats 3 free hits. Snow queen is 1 free hit, and any armor is also at least 1 free hit

[molten hamlet]

after getting the 3rd statue, i stopped pushing more fear. I hit both a skill as well as a motivation ceiling

[worldly moat]

Gale is also 3 free hits assuming tart was clean, antler is a lot more safe than people give it credit for

Since also if I didnt antler I timed out, aphro cast isn't strong on circe at that high of fear

[covert glade]

Yeah and it massively helps with the rest of tartarus

[molten hamlet]

bold of you to think gale lasts past like the 3rd room

(for me)

[covert glade]

Haha if you have white antler, you can kill everything as they spawn

[worldly moat]

That too, you deal so much damage its also a big safety keepsake

But for no lovers im surprised the run was that clean to begin with, im starting to get more comfy with the scylla pattern I like to do

[molten hamlet]

unrivaled scylla is like the one that always chews me up hardest... there's 18 trillion bullets on screen at all times

[worldly moat]

Knowing how to move and clean out the arena makes it 10x easier

Plus certain spots on the map are safe zones from Roxy and the tentacles completely

[lofty oriole]

Congrats 🙏

@pliant tiger 62F Mel Axe. Sorta getting used to taking Wantler into Tart

Deffo wasn’t close at all though 👀👀👀

[worldly moat]

Toula 🥀

[lofty oriole]

Still need my DDs 🫢

Think I’ve always taken Toula except the one 65F I did with Gale

[worldly moat]

Isnt it like a 40hp dd 😭 one gale block on chronos is more hp saved

[lofty oriole]

Bold of you to assume I keep all my Gales into the Chronos fight 😭

[worldly moat]

Even then just in tart blocks that saves like at least 30 and thats just in tart

[lofty oriole]

I’m still pretty awful at 62F runs in general

[worldly moat]

I love toula shes so silly but gale is just better 😭

[lofty oriole]

Yeah probably

Still a comfort pick more than anything

[worn nimbus]

i beat typhon in like 2

[winter basalt]

I don't have image perms for #h2-builds-and-combat but this run will probably be a W.
Never had a level this high: shoutout to Queen's Ransom (Hera-Zeus Duo) and Echo's Pom Pom Pom

[winter basalt]

-# Shameful Update: it was not a W. I haven't played in a month and I'm bad with the Skulls on a good day

[rare parcel]

Godsent Dark Side is the only way to see Heartthorbs in the damage dealt score

[rare parcel]

Family Gatherer, wooo!

[coarse island]

How..? 😭.

I know it's not even anything that insane but still, how..?

[worldly moat]

Im trying to clear 67 so I gotta be clean asf

[worn nimbus]

i hated this build with a passion

[worldly moat]

Didnt get arc flash 🥀

[analog oasis]

Take the pom slice?

Fig leaf was a scam

[worldly moat]

I never take the pom slice tbh

Jpom makes levels irrelevant

And after a certain point a random level is super inconsistent

[analog oasis]

Yeah

[analog oasis]

I summoned Athena in Fields and got bad options

Wasn't worth it to break Fates Whim

[coarse island]

One, I’m terrified of 67f and anyone who tries to do it because that’s insane. And two, I get that but how much did you have to practice the bosses to get so good at them? I’m just asking since I’m trying to beat 62f myself so, yea lol.

Good fricking luck on 67 though. I could only dream.

[analog oasis]

Well

Its a mix of skill, luck, and RNGeesus not screwing you over.

[analog oasis]

My personal best

[coarse island]

That’s so sick. Have you done it more than once or just that one time? Either way it’s insane. Love that you used Moros too lol.

[analog oasis]

Just that time

Next best was getting frozen and Gramps stuck Hrodreptus through me

[coarse island]

Did you hitless Chronos or did gale help you out a bit?

[analog oasis]

Gale 2x

[coarse island]

Huh? Sry for being confused, I’m just a bit tired.

[coarse island]

Still insane.

[analog oasis]

Hrodreptus is the name of his scythe.

[coarse island]

Oh mb, I should’ve known that since I love Greek mythology but as I said before, I’m kinda sleepy.

[analog oasis]

His scythe isn't Hrodreptus in Greek myth though

[coarse island]

Oh, dang 😭. Sorry again.

[analog oasis]

Although Hrodreptus (Χροδρέπτης) isn't an actual ancient Greek word, it could derive from hro (χρόνος), meaning “time”, and dreptus (δρέπω), meaning “to reap”. Thus, the name might be translated as “Time Reaper”.

[coarse island]

Yea, I just looked that up, Ty for teaching me some new stuff today lol. Thats really cool!

[worldly moat]

Ummm im a bit of a freak, i only have 170 hours which compared to most high fear players is super super low
