[lofty oriole]

I guess it’s easier to smack skulls into Typhon

Rather than chase around P3 Chronos

What even are the fastest UW 65s, is it just that 14 minute checkmate run? 😂

[neat jewel]

Of the ones on crossroads it's 14:11 Mel Skull by Checkmate, 15:20 Eos by Red, and 15:25 Anubis by you lol

[lofty oriole]

Wait no one else got sub 15? Wild

New sidequest just dropped 👀

[neat jewel]

Ah just checked speedcord Omen has a 12:56 uw lol

I knew they had a 12 minute surface so I was sure they had some uw too lol

[pliant tiger]

probably couldve been fastest surface 65 if i took fig instead of piece in thessaly

[lofty oriole]

That’s more like it 😂😂

[peak crane]

I JUST ERADICATED TYPHON

LETS GOOOOOO

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[hexed spade]

good job bro

[cobalt pumice]

Congratulations I don't know what you're talking about yet but congratulations

[peak crane]

you find out soon enough

how long you been playing for

now for chronus

chronos

hes next

⚰️

[lofty oriole]

Insane how you beat Typhon before Chronos. Gjgj

What aspect did you use? 😮

[peak crane]

no i mean i eradicated him

[lofty oriole]

Ohhhh brain fart

Congrats 🤩

[peak crane]

gone, done, dusted, with gigarous

[lofty oriole]

Beautiful

[peak crane]

gigaros

i dont know how to spell

[lofty oriole]

Turn on vow of rivals when you go to the Underworld btw 😏

Trust me

[peak crane]

hell naw

not yet anyways

i played hades 1 i know what it does

[lofty oriole]

Nah do the first one. You’ll get a fun dialogue

Just rivals 1

[peak crane]

nnoo

nb nb nb n

on to tarturaous

last rejion

[peak crane]

I HAVE STOPPED TIME

I BEAT HIM
AHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

I AM A GOOODDDDD

sorry bout that folks

[lofty oriole]

How dare you boast about your victory in this channel

[peak crane]

ok well

that was not the ending i was expecting whatsoever

wow,
i am in awe

wow
just wow

[peak crane]

so where would this put me in the game

mid game?

[rocky steppe]

At the beginning

[peak crane]

why?

i already had the credits roll

[rocky steppe]

You'll understand when you're older

[peak crane]

bruh

anyone elsse

[lofty oriole]

What’s the highest Fear you’ve done?

[lean rivet]

depends on what you wanna do

you can just get the credits and call it a day, you can get the epilogue, or you can keep playing even more after that (there is a lot more content)

[rotund badger]

content-wise, depends on what you want. there are some post-ending keepsakes you'll get, as you know. they're tied iirc to the epilogue. If you want to complete dialogue and lore, you really are like early-mid game, there's a lot of dialogue and stuff to do. And then there's completing prophecies, grinding the ranks, increasing fear if you want, finishing all the incantations, unlocking the statues...

[neat jewel]

The Card was Calling me so hard, and the Amulet was Gorgon after

[lofty oriole]

When the reapers are tricky 👏

Heroic Heph + Epic Apollo oml

[neat jewel]

Calling Card gamble barely paid off in Thessaly endshop thanks to Travel Deal lol went 51 seconds over timer vs Eris and 17 over vs Promacles

So close to being a reset

[lofty oriole]

Was gonna say, thought Promacles did all that to you 😂

Insane timer lmao

[neat jewel]

4:20 Ephyra, 6:31 Thessaly 💀, 5:43 Olympus, 3:28 Summit

[lofty oriole]

Me: “Yeah next room will be Sirens surely. But lemme quickly pause buffer just in case”

And yes this was one of the worst Circe builds that made it into Oceanus today 🫢

[silver folio]

2nd surface vitory cleared and tbh - typhon is both super fun as a final boss and actually easier then youd initally think

[rocky steppe]

42 minutes oml

You playing without origination and furies?

[lofty oriole]

Mega Driver in your build 😮
You brave child 👏 👏

Also is that Rae Taylor as a pfp? Based 🙌

[sour widget]

Or they’re just not bothering to pay attention to timer since most people leave it off

More likely they just stood around a lot

[silver folio]

i am playng WITH origination at all times 🙏

[silver folio]

you mean like, the frenzy fear if i remeber correctly thats what its called? yeee, i dont care about finishing the runs asap, im taking my time

[rocky steppe]

Ok just checking

[rocky steppe]

Timer is timer, frenzy is +40% move and attack speed for enemies

[sour widget]

I just mean like turning on the game timer in the options

That's separate from Vow of Time

[neat jewel]

Is it even really a "fun run" if you get neither a working Mirrored Power Surge (@coarse island) nor Heinous Affront?

[true remnant]

Good job!

[carmine canyon]

i just couldnt decide

[coarse island]

Just because it’s fun doesn’t mean it’s good😭

Nice run though, GG’s.

[neat jewel]

Also shoutout Engagement Ring lol

[coarse island]

Peakkk

[neat jewel]

Also also Static Shock 12k when I literally only had it for Chronos is kinda wild lol

[coarse island]

Yea, ngl it’s the best zoos boon THAT’S ACTUALLY ACQUIRABLE!! LOOKING AT YOU STORM RING

[neat jewel]

We getting Thunder Rush Ionic Gain Divine Vengeance with this one 🗣️ ⚡

[olive vigil]

you won, so yes

you had gigaros that’s fun

[neat jewel]

Nooo I had to "suffer" with Vicious Flourish as my only Ares boon where Grievous where Heinous

[olive vigil]

you won

you ever see an nfl locker room video after a stupid and bad 10-6 victory

They’re stoked anyway

It’s more impressive to win that way than with the henious light smite dream

[neat jewel]

All I can think of is MAGA Bosa sliding on the mud after winning like 9-0 vs Washington in 2019

[coarse island]

Ngl I understand z-kid. Once you’ve won on th same difficulty like 500 times it gets kinda meh unless you have something interesting

62f is still cool tho

So in that you should be happy?

[rigid dove]

Whaaaaat!?! How did I do it already!!!? YAY! Whoever told me to do 65 fear was so right! It was super fun and a lot harder than 62 fear. I wonder why I didn't get any extra arcana though? everyone said that once you beat a region boss you get more arcana cards. Anyway, thanks to @pliant tiger @crimson birch and @rocky steppe for giving me tips to help me get this far!

[crimson birch]

Now you have but one more mountain to climb 🫡

As to why you didn't get extra arcana: did you make sure to activate Judgment by selecting the right amount of arcana cards?

TBH if you didn't, this is basically a 67F already anyway 😂

66.5F 🤔

[rigid dove]

Wdym? I just thought that my arcana cards would automatically come back because I activated 65 fear.

Did I do something wrong?

[crimson birch]

Nope, that's what Judgment does, and 65F players typically make it easier for themselves by only selecting the right amount of cards so that Judgment autoactivates.

That way, instead of playing with only 6 grasp of arcana the entire run, they can slowly get more arcana using Judgment.

[rigid dove]

Ohh, that's what that card does.

I just never used it, whoopsies.

[crimson birch]

Yep hehe

You do have to be a little more calculated about it if you want to use Judgment, since you not only have to consider the 6 grasp but also only use three manually-chosen cards total, but it's a big convenience over the course of the run

[rigid dove]

Oooh, okay.

[crimson birch]

That's why I was all "you played, like, 67F lite" 😆

[tough isle]

Judgement feels risky, when does it even break even

[crimson birch]

At 65F you only have 6 grasp anyway.

[tough isle]

Oh, its for high fear only?

[crimson birch]

High Fear or just silly gambling lols

[tough isle]

How many procs do you need to exceed your max grasp

[crimson birch]

Depends on your luck, I would imagine? Cos the cards are worth different amounts of grasp, but Judgment activates a set number of cards, not an amount of grasp, after each boss

[tough isle]

Oof, its 2 cards per boss right

[lofty oriole]

WTF??

No Judgement Arcana? 😱

[crimson birch]

Two? No, it's five -- two is the keepsake

[tough isle]

Oh, 5 actually sounds viable

[lofty oriole]

This is actually the true way to play 65F holy hell

We've been carried by judgment this whole time

I'm a fraud

[crimson birch]

I was gonna make a joke about needing a new category on SRC but I just checked and there isn't a 65F cat anyway 😆

[lofty oriole]

There's a 62F with Void3 category

[neat jewel]

I know Omen has done 65f no Judgement

[lofty oriole]

But not that many 62 variations

[lofty oriole]

Insanity

[crimson birch]

"No judgment, but--"

[lofty oriole]

Morgan without Sorceress feels like a completely different aspect

[tough isle]

Getting morrigan takes forever

I feel like artemis has a page's worth of backlog rn

[neat jewel]

None of the 65f clears from the crossroads saves have no Judgement though

[rigid dove]

I didn't even really know judgment was a thing. Did I make it a lot harder on myself?

[lofty oriole]

Just...a tad

[tough isle]

6 grasp king

[crimson birch]

Training hard for that 67

[lofty oriole]

You could've had Death, Lovers and Origination by Chronos thanks to how Judgment works

Or...none of them if you got unlucky 💀

[neat jewel]

I think they used Sorceress Messenger Swift Runner Lovers

[tough isle]

Get the unseen for chronos

[lofty oriole]

I see a bright future for you. And it starts with 67 FEAR CLEAR

Let's go 🔥

[lofty oriole]

Oh wow not persistence 😮

[rigid dove]

I did!! How did you know?

[lofty oriole]

This is actually Omen in disguise

[rigid dove]

Awww, thank you so much! Hopefully I can achieve such a goal, this was really really hard though.

[lofty oriole]

Because they can't be seen playing anything other than Morrigan in public

[rigid dove]

Who's that?

[lofty oriole]

A very very skilled player

Who only plays Morrigan

[rigid dove]

Ooh, I like that aspect

[covert glade]

hey he did some pan runs recently

[rigid dove]

Who are some other skilled players? They sound really cool!

[amber delta]

by the good grace of echo and 9 total DDs used, 50f underworld!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lofty oriole]

forced to

[lofty oriole]

Let's goooo

619 damage from Chronos too jfc 😮

[amber delta]

im so bad at chronos

[rare parcel]

Relatable tbh

[lofty oriole]

a W's a W 😛

[amber delta]

all his attacks are simply undodgeable theres nothing i can do

[lofty oriole]

Real

[lofty oriole]

Too many to count. But quite a lot of people are cracked tbh

[rigid dove]

What about you? You seem like you're really good at the game.

[lofty oriole]

And you're one of them now

[lofty oriole]

I just troll 😛

[true remnant]

I’m blown away by the fact that it was a time pb also

[rigid dove]

What would that bring?

[lofty oriole]

Oh yeah how much armour did you have going into Chronos?

Curious if you could've taken Wantler instead

[rigid dove]

Not really sure actually. I don't think I had any but I might've had a little. I just took 1 big hit and used life tax to heal it up though.

[lofty oriole]

W

You gonna try for Max fear?

Deffo feel like you're more than capable at this point 😮

[carmine canyon]

600dmg taken holy macaroni

still W

[rigid dove]

People say it's really hard though, I do want to try it but I'm kind of scared.

[amber delta]

yeah i think i should have taken antler maybe right

[lofty oriole]

It's definitely challenging yeah

But given that you did 65 Fear without judgment and only took like 70 dmg against Chronos 👀

I think you should give it a try 😄

[rigid dove]

I think I could have though.

[rigid dove]

But I had lovers.

Doesn't that help a lot with bosses?

[lofty oriole]

100%

[rigid dove]

I will!

[lofty oriole]

You'll realise how much Lovers has carried you in the past 😂

[rotund hamlet]

wth crazy clear

[rigid dove]

Oh ty!!

[lofty oriole]

Do you have a vod Kip?

[rigid dove]

Uhm, maybe?

I can check

[glass moth]

finished my goal of sub 10 with every aspect on both routes 🥳

[charred cypress]

You are definitely better than avg with those Mel skull times 🔥

[pliant tiger]

please tell me u recorded

[rigid dove]

I can check when I get back to my pc.

Hopefully I did

crazy heph carry

[rocky pecan]

Had over 6000 gold left by the end of this thanks to a Heroic Sea Star from Poseidon to start the run

[shell meadow]

what the hell was this dream dive order

[rigid dove]

Thank god I recorded it. That would’ve sucked if I didn’t have proof for my win!!

[gilded ravine]

sub 8 rivals woo

[true remnant]

Oops! All Back Half

[shell meadow]

im just glad i had both of the chronos/typhon based hades boons

and prom first isnt actually too bad

[lofty oriole]

Remind me, how are you recording this again? 👀

Genuinely feel nauseous trying to watch that ngl 😂

[rigid dove]

Just steam recording. What’s wrong with it?

[rigid dove]

Oh?

[thorn wolf]

it's minuscule

[lofty oriole]

Does it not look ridiculously blurry to you?

Like 2010 YouTube 144p quality 👀

[thorn wolf]

tbh that's probably the result of uploading a 30 minute long video to discord

[rigid dove]

Ah, that’s probably why.

[lofty oriole]

Maybe. I’m surprised you can even send a video that long

[rigid dove]

Well, mb for that. Idk how else to upload it.

[thorn wolf]

youtube is your best bet

[lofty oriole]

I’m curious if that vod would get accepted onto crossroads lmao

[thorn wolf]

lol I think most speedrunning rules would disallow that, regardless of the game

[lofty oriole]

I think Frei might have a stroke trying to watch that

[rigid dove]

Who’s Frei?

[rocky steppe]

They verify the runs

Second frenzy2 rivals4 surface
Forgot I had strength on from when I was fishing for amulet Arachne last night

All I wanted was to run into circe with the knucklebones

[lean rivet]

pretty chill run, momcar ftw

[nova crater]

over 2 minute pb surface run, plus confirmation for myself that i can handle artemis keepsake (hitless typhon)

flames are by far my fastest weapon

[timber jasper]

Video baked in the fires of hell

[rigid dove]

😭 mb for that lol. I didn’t know that the quality was going to be that bad.

[true remnant]

Scuffed rivals 4

Scorched not even making an appearance 😭

[chrome grotto]

Not a super crazy run with the extra challenges but it was my first win against chronos :)

[rare parcel]

How can Life Tax recover half a health point?

[nova crater]

anddddddd another best run :)

rare paid dues W

[rare parcel]

The answer is it doesn't, it stays at -0.5

I'd share the screenshot, but I died

[vale gale]

This was certainly a run of all time.
56% chance to create three heartthrobs every time I collected plasma
Plus mirrored and wicked thrasher with heroic extra dose lv5 for a 32% chance to hit twice

All Together was my last boon right before final boss (chronos) and it gave me rallying cry and enabled it at the same time

[neat jewel]

I totally forgot Mirrored Thrasher worked with Heartthrobs lol

[vale gale]

It does but I got most of my hearthrobs via the Ares x Perseph duo. Though I got my plasma via hitting with my weapon so mirrored thrasher helped with that too.

Not shown but I also had wicked thrasher on top of mirrored lmao

it was an extremely satisfying run and the first time I got to combo Success Rate + Sunny Disp + Carnal Pleasure

[true remnant]

Alleged medea build

Clangdea worked better than I expected

[valid echo]

First 50f surface. My only 50f underworld and surface are both with supay

Probably gonna switch back to underworld now surface took so many more tries

[neon grail]

i do love getting flame flourish and never seeing hestia again

[true remnant]

Imagine if I had found exhaust riser

Wasn’t expecting much out of an r1 knuckle bones run for Odysseus’s prophecy

[peak crane]

is the epilogue after i find the fates

[tame fog]

i thought the epilogue was finding the fates

[rotund hamlet]

theyre the same yea

[pulsar pilot]

Felt Heroic.

Chaos in top dmg dealers 🤣

[robust sapphire]

Who needs them attack and special

[shell meadow]

reached chronos with arachne armour

[neat jewel]

Wait with MEDEA

Wow

[shell meadow]

how the hell could you tell i had medea

[neat jewel]

Weapon is visible

[shell meadow]

its very hard to spot for me 😭

[carmine canyon]

533 armor should have went for antler

[shell meadow]

i just kept sash on the whole run to be safe

antler wouldve been the play tho

hpmaxxing

[rare parcel]

... Huh, yes, it is hard to spot. I had to zoom it to see it

[lofty oriole]

Ye no other skulls have the red tinge

[rare parcel]

I like how all of the skulls actually look like a skull

And then Medea lost the memo somehow. Unless that potion flask has crushed skulls

[shell meadow]

medea is so weird looking

[lofty oriole]

Ye it looks more like a bomb or a mine or smth

Which makes sense I guess considering how it works

[neat jewel]

I am the #1 non-Hel skull hater

Anyone who plays skull well has +100 skill points in my books

[plain orbit]

best possessed array i will ever get

[cunning hatch]

holy red

[rare parcel]

How many heroic boons do you need? YES!

[plain orbit]

8 in total

[rocky steppe]

If only you took a good keepsake

[plain orbit]

on typhon i had blackened fleece which is the best keepsake for the build damage wise

[worldly moat]

eh not really

fleece gets beaten out by fang in terms of overall damage since a global boost will be more than an omega only boost

[plain orbit]

the rolex was a waste

[plain orbit]

yah the problem mine isnt maxed

[neat jewel]

I think Fleece is fine here tbh

[rare parcel]

When you're against Typhon, it's already at 20%, compared to the 40% damage boost of Omega Attack, which was clearly the thing they were using the most. More consistent damage boost on the thing you're using the most for damage vs global damage boost that when you arrive to Typhon is lower... It's completely fine here 🤷‍♂️

[neat jewel]

Especially if the goal was just to get as much Pee Array damage as possible lol

[plain orbit]

yah thats what i thought

[plain orbit]

to be fair i was getting 3800 damage omegas

with crit

[neat jewel]

Yeah with ExTalent and Weed Killer I say Fleece is fine

[ornate scarab]

1st time doing the dream route thingy and using Persephone ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

[rocky steppe]

Mathematically, it's not

[worldly moat]

its fine but its not the best option like they said but ig if fang isnt leveled then yeah

[vale lark]

2nd fresh file lets go

[lofty oriole]

You sir already have +100 skill points in my book 👏

Does wide grin shotgun shoot out all the 4 static shocks at once or does the first Atk just count as 1?

Don’t think I’ve ever questioned it

[pliant tiger]

i have yet to try the new hel skull

it lowk better be worth the glaze

[faint orbit]

[neat jewel]

I glazed Hel without the Oattack buff and have yet to even use Helheim Charge lol

[signal saddle]

One of my least damage taken overall in my runs, I'd say

[carmine canyon]

.

let me send screenshot server pls

[vale lark]

whats that and how do I get it

[ornate scarab]

its post game

dont know if you want me to spoil

[vale lark]

I reset it

[ornate scarab]

oh it’s after you wake up Hypnos and get Persephone’s keepsake a sorta 3rd route opens

[vale lark]

went on a 6 night streak to get the credits lmao

[vale lark]

hell yeah lemme check rn

[ornate scarab]

i beat the game yesterday

prolly my fav game oat now, never had so much fun playing a game especially so much in one go

i think ive been playing for 2 weeks or something and i already have 97 hrs

[vale lark]

hell yeah thats amazing

you should get all achievements now

[shell meadow]

sub 9 surface !!

time to get sub 9 uw now

[amber delta]

while i simply cannot do underworld with strenght and need 9 DDs, i cannot do surface with DD and got it on my first strenght attempt with of course circe!!!

one of best weapons and a real strong build for it

50f surface!!!!!

now i dont know if i should go for 55f or something

[shell meadow]

underworld pb

[true remnant]

Never done FF in 2, does the Eris debuff not show up in boons list?

[vale lark]

idk it probably does, I didn't get it tho

you can avoid her boon

[true remnant]

Oh, I see. Ty

[true remnant]

Sane amount of armor

[shell meadow]

had to make sure i definitely kept it to chronos

[true remnant]

Yeah my run I was cutting it way too close, how did you even get so much

[shell meadow]

jpom, every source of heph armour, sash, dont get hit

but also lots of weak damage reduction

sub 9 uw

medea is actually the best aspect

[nova crater]

I really don't get medea

Why use high damage melee weapon when you can use high damage ranged weapon instead

[shell meadow]

it just feels fun to me

and reminds me of beowulf from h1

[pliant tiger]

theres a reason why it still holds the world record for fastest uw clear

[shell meadow]

what does make it so good tho? i just enjoy the gameplay loop

and the big damage

[pliant tiger]

high base damage and skull movement is a wicked combo

plus possessed array exists

[shell meadow]

best hammer ever

almost as cool as the cluster + rocket hammer combo for the rail in h1

[true remnant]

I never get poss array 😐

[shell meadow]

i got it 3 runs in a row earlier

[true remnant]

I cope with vol array

[shell meadow]

i had a level 6 medea with pos array and i was cooking

[lofty oriole]

55 and then eventually 62! You got this

[marsh condor]

oh wow circe feels amazing
I decided to do a 50f right after waking up for no reason and almost lost the run at polyphemus

[lean rivet]

this aspect is so dopamine-inducing i love it

[true remnant]

Deeply unpleasant GCB

[rare parcel]

No Beach Ball, what even is the point?

[brazen jetty]

Crit, flat damage and percent damage stacked to the moon. A multiplicative nightmare for typhon.

I only got Pyro Technique after beating Typhon's Eye. Thanks, auntie Hestia, pretty cool

[true remnant]

Hordes 3 is awful

[rocky steppe]

Might be the unluckiest gcb i've seen

[neon grail]

65f mel torches

forgot to post this here yesterday

[west minnow]

oh hey, im also posting a mel torches win! swear on everything, torches are so easy to play

[neon grail]

Sudden burst + Ocean swell is peak

[true remnant]

Combined my judgement run and my embryo run and what a mess it was

Of course this is the run poss array actually shows up

[vale lark]

first try lets go

[true remnant]

First time trying supay, what a bizarre aspect

[delicate pendant]

Supay is weird but can be strong

And here's Azure dress brought to the end

Had over 500 armor there

[true remnant]

The no hitstun is so scary for supay

Felt like I was taking tons of hits but somehow I wasn’t

Start was rough though

[delicate pendant]

Yea, you're always close to danger

[neat jewel]

Finally got a surface 65 after 2 deaths to Typhon, Cherished Heirloom might just be the best duo in the game

[lofty oriole]

Wooooo congrats!!!

With the exodia build too

What’s next? Gonna try for allspect stuff?

[neat jewel]

My ass was really complaining about not getting Static Shock and Hereditary Bane like I didn't hit Gigaros Dual Moonshot Melting Swipe Cherished Heirloom lol

[lofty oriole]

Most 67 runners would be so happy to just get static and hitch alone lol

[vale lark]

im crine how is that even possible 😭

this on that true ending fight

i did not know you get infinite deaths (i beat him on 1 death defiance last time)

[neat jewel]

Def at least wanna get one with Nyx cause of this lol

[vale lark]

all 3 in succession by the way it was amazing

[sour widget]

Just going ahead and doing 50F all aspects for the next few days cause 62F was getting stressful. IDK why but my fear setup kinda cursed

IDK why I settled on hordes 3, return 2 and forfeit but I guess I didn't want to deacclimate myself too much to the 62F encounter loop

[neat jewel]

Scalding Vapor

[pliant tiger]

https://tenor.com/view/what-was-he-cooking-ishigami-kaguya-sama-kaguya-maxbooncito-gif-26386746

[sour widget]

I probably should just drop forfeit for wards and grit since that's closer to 62F

Not having wards and grit makes everything so squishy

New stup to make 50F truly free for me

[lofty oriole]

We were sorta debating whether it’ll be you frank or andrw 🫢

[lofty oriole]

I think I’d still lose this 50F 💀

[sour widget]

Losing without pain or scars kinda wild

[lofty oriole]

Tho I’m probably one of the few that always turns on Max pain scars rather than wards return

[sour widget]

I just want to make this brainless and I struggle far more with the bosses than with normal encounters usually

[lofty oriole]

Oh fair

50F allspects is still super cool to do

[sour widget]

I want to just get to 50F 24/24 surface to get up on the board for it and be funny by doing it on Circus for all the Circus haters

[lofty oriole]

I did it a while back before thinking that was my last thing I’ll do before moving on

6 months later we’re still here

[sour widget]

So now you're doing the 65 48/48 right?

[lofty oriole]

I’d rather grind max fear uw lol

[sour widget]

Okay but you could totally do 62 48/48

[lofty oriole]

I don’t trust my ability these days

Surface is dog 🤢

[sour widget]

Honestly I find it fun not even joking

[pliant tiger]

why is he lying (besides olympus existing)

[sour widget]

Yeah we hate olympus ngl

[lofty oriole]

Especially because Olympus exists

[sour widget]

All fear levels hate olympus

[pliant tiger]

i lowk have more sub 6 surfaces than sub 5 uws so I can't slander surface

except olympus ofc

[lofty oriole]

Yeah those world records were crazy

Hmm

I wonder if I should be petty and upload all my 50F surface screenshots from before

Just to make it onto the mainpage lmao

[sour widget]

oh yeah for my anubis I forgot to salute but I didn't reset at all so for my submission video I'm just leaving in the 3-4 minutes of dead air in crossroads between the last run and starting the next run

@sour widget @pliant tiger

[pliant tiger]

@rigid dove pls tell me ur gonna upload the vod on yt

[lofty oriole]

I’m sure it’s amazing gameplay. But my eyes…

[pliant tiger]

so that it won't be 144p

[lofty oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/my-eyes-spongebob-squarepants-spongebob-my-eyes-gif-13564660

[pliant tiger]

when i eventually get max fear surface i should lowk downgrade the quality to 144p and make it 15 frames per second

[lofty oriole]

Aki just quits and abandons crossroads

[pliant tiger]

the day i reach promacles with at least one gale block is the day i get max fear surface istg

[lofty oriole]

Idk I see another sidequest coming before that happens

[pliant tiger]

ok bro

[lofty oriole]

Sub5 circus run trust

[pliant tiger]

im being fr tho

[lofty oriole]

You said that last time

[lofty oriole]

Then proceeded to break 3 WRs

[sour widget]

I'll be the only 24/24 surface lol

Once I do this

[lofty oriole]

Beautiful. My name far away from that stinky yellow

Green gang always 💚

[lofty oriole]

Yknow I’m gonna actually upload all my surface 50F screenshots. Except Charon

[pliant tiger]

tbf to myself bro max fear surface grind back then was killing me

[lofty oriole]

Don’t blame you man

Cuz circus suuuuuuuuucks

[marsh condor]

from that video, i only gained that he has fear active, is doing uw, and has gigaros dash

[pliant tiger]

if promacles didn't exist bro i would've beaten max fear surface already

[lofty oriole]

Gameplay looked clean too…from the sound effects 💀

[marsh condor]

"from the sound effects"

[pliant tiger]

lowk had to use some daredevil type shi to see that gameplay

[lofty oriole]

I’m honestly glad I’m not the most tech-illiterate person here anymore 😂

[marsh condor]

bro couldve just beat a 12 fear run (r chronos), or a 67f run and we would have no idea

[lofty oriole]

What’s funny is that their victory screen is absolutely fine

[marsh condor]

i totally scrolled up to look for it just now
congrats on the 65, kipfel
or 66.5, whatever we wanna consider the 144p run

[mellow grove]

Did a scorch only run, that was a fun one! Started with Hestia's keepsake, took cast

[lofty oriole]

Shame about the traps lone shades and pesky Raki

W run 👏

[mellow grove]

Indeed. Should have picked my familiar better. I did no optimisation on the arcana, aspect, or familiar. This was pretty relaxed, especially compared to my earlier Toula only runs 😅

[lofty oriole]

OH WAIT

[marsh condor]

toula only run
i have yet to be brave enough to attempt it

[lofty oriole]

You’re the same guy who did the 2 hour Toula run jfc

Ggz for that 😂

[mellow grove]

Ah, here it is

Now I'm considering the foolishness of doing a 0 fear Raki only run. Let's see how long it takes to leave the first chamber 😄

[lofty oriole]

Probably the entire weekend 💀

[marsh condor]

i send you all my hades 2 rng luck
id be so scared that ill lose the run right at the end

[sour widget]

Another

Strength Nergal funny

Just face tank typhon cause no pain 3

[marsh condor]

so THIS is where the winning 50f nergal surface run went

(jk)

[sour widget]

forgot to include seething

[sour widget]

I forget the context?

[marsh condor]

le context

[sour widget]

Ah yes wonderful

This baby phase pattern sucked

We'll pick this back up tomorrow but that makes 3 for 3 50f's without dying just 21 more to go lol

I'd already had like 8 or 9 out of 24 but need to record them to submit to crossroads

[neon grail]

I think pain 1 & scars 1/2 better than hordes 3 lol

[sour widget]

🤷‍♂️ I'm breezing through normal encounters anyways and it's the bosses I have more trouble with

[neon grail]

Ok then, but I really don't like hordes 3 Olympus

[lean rivet]

that took more tries than i would like to but at least i eventually got it

[austere lava]

I managed to read that as “that took moros tries” lol

[rare parcel]

The it sounded clean 🤓 ☝️

[sour widget]

Greeded for shocking at olympus end shop and had to sacrifice demeter rush and my origination but the build still ripped

[lofty oriole]

Oh wow and you even got the best hammers too 👏 👏

[sour widget]

Yeah we just happen to roll the giga and win

[lofty oriole]

Thankfully Chwantler made up for non orig damage i guess

[sour widget]

Oh yeah and then some

I got it in Olympus so that’s why KB on board

[shell meadow]

new surface pb, somehow picked up zeus in the first area AND HE NEVER SHOWED UP AGAIN

[shell meadow]

crazy new uw pb

[sour widget]

Pretty garbage run for timer. Decided to entirely abandon magick in Thessaly when we hit Heinous Light Smite and over-primed. 5/24 50F

I have way more than 5 50F clears but I'm re-doing them to record

[shell meadow]

[rigid dove]

Wdym?

[magic osprey]

Fear isn't particularly high, but it's my favorite build ever. Beating gramps on 1 is also so satisfying.

[sour widget]

Selene omega special spam 🔥

If only you had controlled burn and sunny disposition

Though you’d have had to drop Poseidon or Hera to make that happen

[magic osprey]

Yeah, Fireball + Waves + Fissure is great.

I'd have to do sunny disposition next. Haven't played w that much. Thanks for the rec

Sunny disposition + Ares plasma maybe? Ares Fireball too? Seems up my alley

[true remnant]

Kol’s run above yours

[sour widget]

Video below the forwarded link

[rigid dove]

Ah

[thick trellis]

very fun posidon nyx build

[sour widget]

If only your attack and special were swapped cause like… using attack only on nyx is really just a worse Mel coat lol

But still nice run

[thick trellis]

Yeah true but I like running into people it makes it a little funnier to me

The special being so janky I just never use it unless it’s shiva

[sour widget]

Do you play controller?

[thick trellis]

yeah

[sour widget]

That explains it

Keyboard you can independently aim the rockets

It’s so much better

[thick trellis]

wowwwww

thats lame

[sour widget]

Like objectively keyboard is better for coat

It also lets you stand still while attacking or move away and attack

While controller forces you to move forward

Same for stuff like aiming torches since controller doesn’t let you stand still to aim

[thick trellis]

yeah its not as bad with the torches tho probably my fav weapon

[sour widget]

But on coat your dash attack is movement based and your rockets and normal attack are aiming based. So you can independently aim rockets and dash attacks

Wrong link whoops

https://youtu.be/fmQmqmA6RiA?si=xA4DM5SNu4Vbrx0K

Rocket spam on keyboard is so fun

[thick trellis]

High fear run gamer

But I see it it tracks really well on kbm

[sour widget]

Yeah KBM vs Controller is super minimal on 4 of the 6 weapons but on torches and coat it can matter a fair bit

Since most weapons lock you in place while attacking and those two don’t

[lean bloom]

just had this crazy cast build in a dream dive

[true remnant]

Pyro technique nowhere to be found

[nova crater]

i tried doing hitless, got it first try :) was very stressful but i probably didnt need to stress so much. i literally only got "hit" three times and all three were in typhon second phase because i lost focus for a moment

I was trying to get fine line for my Moros speedrun. Never got it but still PBed at 8:20.

im aware, its still better than nothing in the early game, since i start with barely any :/

[desert steppe]

been trying to get a flood gain + (7 trillion sources of damage) run going but no hera/ares yet

Everything except glamour gain is fine tbh
Personally i dont like grisly gain but people say its good

yea i had stage 1 persistence 😭 didnt unlock the rest yet

You're gonna get the most godlike build and then Frenzy 10 strikes 💀

[neat jewel]

That's the risk you run when going for CHeirloom I guess lol

[sour widget]

Hopefully you can sac it or you get dem special and don’t use it on Typhon

[neat jewel]

I've actually never gotten it yet, I wonder when I'm gonna get that canon event lol

[sour widget]

I think I got it a single time on Zag

[rare parcel]

What causes this bug?

[sour widget]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1218621088049659930/1495272277670100993/783B631.MP4?ex=6a0153d3&is=6a000253&hm=1cc8621ab9a00b8fcd03cdac2834fc4f92d2d27ff2beac6ec4904d6fee5803a4&

[sour widget]

Likely cause is that Demeter or Phase shift slow value is not removed when an enemy dies or is phased and so when they come back from being invulnerable the game adds on the value of the slow to their normal speed

[lofty oriole]

Yeah I don't think I've had it happen yet surprisingly

[sour widget]

It’s much more likely to happen with gusts I’m sure

Since those can continuously affect enemies

@rare parcel assumption is the the calculation for enemy speed says “okay so the enemy was slowed to 80% speed so we need to adjust them back to 100%” and so it multiplies their value but doesn’t take frenzy into account, since I’m pretty sure slows are additive to frenzy not subtractive

[tacit zephyr]

I think this was my first Momus win

[sour widget]

So the game is actually saying “oh this enemy was slowed by 20% and so multiply them back by that much” rather than “add that much”

And so you get 120% / .8 instead of (80% / .8) + 40%

[rare parcel]

I trusted you, Gust

It is weird I haven't gotten that bug, huh...

[sour widget]

I can only imagine what might happen if you made the mistake of using the 75% phase shift slow

It’s pretty rare and probably has some random chance of happening due to tick rate or something

Probably has to have gust proc tick happen at the same time as they’re phased or something

But gusts hit the most often and are active the most often so it’s the common cause

But I’d imagine it maybe could happen if you killed an enemy with a move that hits them with freeze at the same time

But yeah would make sense if the game accidentally multiplies the value WITH frenzy rather than the value before frenzy

So actual explanation is apparently more that the boss phasing cleanses the speed loss but NOT the freeze/gust/phase shift slow

And so when that wears off it’s ADDED to their speed

[plain carbon]

My best run in a while

[lofty oriole]

Totally my fault for this. Should’ve dashed in the dark 🫠

[rare parcel]

... What?

[lofty oriole]

Yeah the polyps have already spawned in with their active hitboxes whilst Mel’s vulnerable

So during the transition, they can just hit me whilst I can’t see or do anything.

10/10 game 😂

[sour widget]

Polyps are the only enemy with a constantly active hitbox that can possibly be on top of the entry door AFAIK

Every other enemy like bawlders at least has to start rolling when they spot you

Goofy ahh build on a goofy ahh aspect

replaced aphro attack with volcanic before cerb

it wasn't the best gameplay but it worked so i'm happy

[neat jewel]

How many people have done 48/48? Like 7?

Wait I just realized I can simply check the new home page lol

DTB, Frei, ne0, Pizza, Aki, and you

I swear ConnerTEP had 48/48 in his screenshots though

[neon grail]

6 i think

according to the main page

[neat jewel]

Oh looks like his Eos uw is not on crossroads

[neon grail]

ye he's missing only uw eos, it's 7 people then

and I'm almost 700 hours (693)

It could be probably done in way less but I did some of them a couple of times since I liked the aspects, and did 9 65fs

[lofty oriole]

Ayyy let's goooo congrats 🔥

ye barely anyone has done 48/48

[lofty oriole]

Also holy hammers 😮

[neon grail]

ye, that's the trick haha

[lofty oriole]

Honestly would be a much harder time without either of them 💀

What's next on the menu, 65 allspects or dabbling with max fear circus? 🫢

[neon grail]

ye, surface one didn't have psychic but freezer burn carried that one

[lofty oriole]

Oh yea I remember that

Was super high on the damage board too jfc

[neon grail]

idk yet, maybe I'll play nier automata

[lofty oriole]

Funnily enough I just finished that one a few months back. So good 😭

Oof. You can tell I haven’t touched circus in a hot minute 🫠🫠🫠🫠

Maybe I should’ve taken Death instead 😂

[neon grail]

ye all my 62fs are death haha

[lofty oriole]

Welp back to Death I go

Having Tart then Summit immediately after is so evil 😂

[supple crag]

Finally did it boys!

First win, feelsgoodman. What an incredible game

[faint orbit]

Chronos pulled up for round 4.

[lofty oriole]

Man was so salty about losing lol

[cobalt pumice]

Huh that's a peak game

[winged sigil]

the funny part is that it's not even that hard

people are just too lazy to touch selene and hel and probably mel torches

[lofty oriole]

Or the idea of touching surface makes them nauseous

[winged sigil]

ah there's also the circus haters

[lofty oriole]

Couldn’t be me though 👀

I’m such a circus lover through and through

[winged sigil]

it's time to touch grass vangetsu

wait actually erebus has grass too

uhhhh

[timber jasper]

circus?

[lofty oriole]

Probably more vegetation than the entirety of circus 😛

Mwahaha

[winged sigil]

it's time to touch snow

[winged sigil]

nickname for surface

[timber jasper]

Ohh

I have Dem for snow queen 😛

Bird fear is taking way longer than expected though. There’s so much I wanna do in this game 😭

There’s also so many other games I wanna get through too

I’ve contributed enough to high fear so far. Really cba to do surface yet, maybe after a small breakk 😴

It’ll all be worth it tho.

worth it though, gotta keep my records clean

Is Frinos your most used familiar 👀

[rare parcel]

Not me having 5 aspects at 50F ruining the other aspects at 40-45 F

[lofty oriole]

You gotta grind the other 19 for the beautiful green 😭

pssst. Turn on Time 3. I’m sure it’s fine

Should I wipe my save to get the green book instead of having to do 48/48 67?

the double cast method with charon is crazy

[sour widget]

I see you’re starting to understand that video lol

[lofty oriole]

Holy build 😮

[shell meadow]

yeah im figuring out the joys of charon

does the double cast still work if you take a channel buff? i avoided them just in case

[sour widget]

Nah that’s why people avoid sudden cleaver

It’s too fast and so you can’t get off another cast if you’re chaining omega specials

Also why cast throws are avoided

[shell meadow]

the joy i had running into the twins with that build

[sour widget]

That really is such a nuts build you had. Geyser, local and hostile is a holy trinity. If only you had Apollo in your pool for super nova

[shell meadow]

yeah i was delaying a fourth god hoping for apollo but i just went with ares instead

and hera is my goat for making geyser spout heroic

[sour widget]

Ares is a solid choice for Charon just due to cut above and meat grinder being decent picks and sword ring being the highest damage cast

The downside of Poseidon cast is that it explodes at the start and not at the end

So it doesn’t get the size benefit

Still applies froth at the end though

[shell meadow]

charon is actually so fun

[sour widget]

Easily one of the most misunderstood aspects in the game imho just because a lot of people don’t know all the tech and stuff like dash charging omega special

So it can feel super clunky at first

It’s a lot harder to play on controller as well without remapping buttons. I’ve tried dash charging omega special on controller and it is really rough without a claw grip or remap

[neat jewel]

Never thought I'd get to use Anus Affront at 65, the only benefit of circus is the higher ability to get fun duo builds tbh lol

[marsh condor]

wow thats a really fast 65
I usually see you ending 62s dangerously close to running out of timer

[neat jewel]

Yeah Heinous Affront with Light Smite is a gamebreaker

Completely destroys rooms

It's just so rare to be able to get it

[marsh condor]

the auto apply when take damage one right?
I havent been able to hit it yet
Sounds soooo satisfying

[neat jewel]

Yeah, it's the Ares and Zeus duo but it really shines with Apollo's revenge boon Light Smite because it hits everything in the room

[marsh condor]

[marsh condor]

also some of my friends didnt recognise me so
Its me, magearna

[pliant tiger]

if u have two or more boons with the same pom lvl the game automatically doubles your last pommed boon

so its not really a gamble

bit scared to try it out tbh

i feel like id be dying a ton

[lofty oriole]

Deffo worth practising since you're getting a lot better at speedruns recently 👌

[shell meadow]

i’ll give it a shot with death instead of strength to get some practice in

[long scroll]

I'm just farming the last achievement I need and first timing the Aspect of Moros. So I didn't put any vows. The damage was so dumb I killed Typhon in like 30-45 sec

Insane damage, i think i did chrono in 30s tops

Yo, @rigid dove weren’t you just doing 20 fear like 2 weeks ago?! Ur cracked.

[rigid dove]

Oh thank you!!! And I was, I cannot believe I’ve progressed this quickly but I really couldn’t have done it without everyone who helped me learn. I guess I do just have a knack for it though, kinda like I’ve already done all of this before…

[coarse island]

Maybe.. but I’m glad people helped you! Sometimes it feels like people act like others are dumb just because they have an interesting opinion or “dumb” take. Doesn’t mean they can’t learn.

[rigid dove]

I guess it does feel like that sometimes but a lot of the people are nice!!

But uhh, if y’all haven’t caught on yet. I am croissant and croissant is me. I kind of just wanted to join the server as someone entirely new to slightly rage bait and also for fun and to see how newer players experience the server. Y’all are great, honestly and I’m very glad I got to do this.

Now, if this is against the rules then please don’t ban me 😭. Idk what about this is bad but if it is then I didn’t know, alr.

Tbh this whole thing made me think about how I interact with new(er) players too

[marsh condor]

i feel the overwhelming urge to try get better at the game after seeing a white name post 67

[true remnant]

Got my Anubis rivals chronos revenge

[coarse island]

lol

[marsh condor]

did you know
There are 8.04 x 10^67 arrangements for a deck of cards
(Sorry about the 67, im sleep deprived rn)

[coarse island]

Wah 😭

[marsh condor]

terrible attempt at using 67 thats what it is
Also we should move to off topic if we continue

[coarse island]

lol, alrighty.

[faint orbit]

[small slate]

1st full rivals chronos clear - aspect of pan is a nuke!

[rocky steppe]

Pan is pretty bad, glad you can make it work tho

[true remnant]

Not sure I like this aspect too much
Also sadly Poseidon stops counting sea star procs after a while

[brazen jetty]

What’s your guys base line fear?
Side note, is triad stinky? It seems maybe useful verses bosses, but seems to be out damaged by basic spam attacks. And overkill on mobs.

[neat jewel]

I think the only reason to ignore Triad is if you have Wicked Onslaught + Final Slice

[gilded ravine]

triad gets to 777 dmg on max upgrade

[neat jewel]

Oh yeah I didn't even see it was Rank II lol

[brazen jetty]

Yeah hurting on N mare currently. By the time you proc triad on mobs they’re usually already dead or 1 hp. Seems kinda like a niche boss tool.

[neat jewel]

Not when you add stuff like Wards and Grit

And yeah it also depends on your hammers

If you get Final Slice Wicked Onslaught you can be doing enough damage with attack spam alone

But otherwise I think you need the Triad for damage plus it's cool

[true remnant]

Getting a little better with non charon axes but still not a huge fan

Think this was the last aspect for bearing dark gifts which means I get the platinum now

[true remnant]

Grit 3 and Hordes 3 😭

[thorn geyser]

There we go, finally got a 40f Mel Axe run, probably took me like 10 tries to do, finally got it when I turned it down to Frenzy 1

[neon grail]

65f? morrigan but I forgot to increase void

and change keepsakes in summit

[brazen jetty]

Wait Wards is so valid actually. I usually play without it cuz it annoys me.

[neat jewel]

Tbf THE Morrigan breaks wards pretty well because the attack multi hits

[pulsar pilot]

This build was fun. Each attack caused blitz to trigger.

[pliant tiger]

prodigy of the century holy

join the speedcord bro

[thorn wolf]

LMAO

[pliant tiger]

oh wait

BRO??????

holy troll of the century

[thorn wolf]

I guess I do just have a knack for it though, kinda like I’ve already done all of this before…
when I first read this I thought you were making reference to Mel using the fountain to replay the story lol

[dense raft]

i defeated chronos for the first time the other day! In like under 40 tried (35ish), tried him once and then died but second time i won! Up to chronos for about the 3rd tiem

[lofty oriole]

Congrats!

[celest cairn]

So err chat

I have all 30 active in 1 run

[thorn wolf]

nice, you can get the prophecy done in one go

[celest cairn]

The one with beating the game with all cards?

[thorn wolf]

yea

[celest cairn]

Piggy bang low key the goat

[rocky steppe]

One of the worst keepsakes btw

[celest cairn]

Ez

[ornate scarab]

15 sec Typhon phase 2 holy run

[woven cargo]

What is this effect? It stays after boss died

[ornate scarab]

are you using aspect of Artemis?

[woven cargo]

yea

[ornate scarab]

im pretty sure it has to do with the parrying thing, its the only aspect i havent used beside one of the Black Coat’s

[brazen jetty]

The build was non existent but I had a big bouncy ball so it was ok

The only reason I cleared was because I summoned the gun pirate mini boss to fight for me with incandescent aura.

[sour widget]

It’s the parry-riposte mechanic on Aspect of Artemis to show how many moves you have left for the crit effect

[nova flare]

It’s good imo

I beat Prometheus yesterday 😄

[ornate scarab]

ill try it sometime👀

[lofty oriole]

65 Fear Dream Dive

Took a few attempts to finally get a run without summit or Olympus 🤢

[winter coral]

Return to shadow NOOOW !

[neat jewel]

Menace Thessaly Satyr top damage 😭 they do NOT want you up there

[neat jewel]

✅

[lofty oriole]

Even more reason I'll never touch circus 😂

[lofty oriole]

"Just simply spam Special" 🔥

Did you trade Blitz for Volc?

Oh wait just saw your message in the other chat lol

[neat jewel]

This mindset made me time out during Promacles lol I was playing so scared in Olympus

Hiding behind cover like 90% of the time in Olympus luckily I didn't take any actual damage from Promacles so I got to keep all DDs for Antler

[lofty oriole]

Sounds about right. Playing them in 65 dream dives felt absolutely miserable and I kept timing out 😭

[lofty oriole]

Did you get blessed with Lovers prior to Heroes?

[neat jewel]

Nah I start Lovers on surface because of that exact scenario not happening 😂

No Lovers for Cerb I sleep

[lofty oriole]

I keep forgetting that. Underworld pilled

[neat jewel]

No Lovers for Promacles I f**cking die

[lofty oriole]

Nice that you got Death beforehand tho for the insurance

I feel like if I don't have Death then I end up playing too safe in R2/3 and time out 💀

[neat jewel]

Yeah my attempts last week I wouldn't get Death and play scared taking stuff like Tooth and just time out lol

[lofty oriole]

Yeah I saw those post-Eris screenshots 💀

Thankfully it's all done and dusted 👏

Unless...you're planning on the 65 allspect 👀

[neat jewel]

Yesterday I didn't get Death after Eris but Frei advised me to take Bones and luckily I got Stalwart Stand otherwise that Heinous Affront build would've died to Promacles too lol

[coarse island]

LOL

[lofty oriole]

You're actually insane btw

Ggz on the second 67F "Kipfel" 😛

[coarse island]

Are we not allowed to have fun? It’s just a keepsake 😭

[lofty oriole]

No. We must Jpom Chrolex Sash and Wantler 😛

Any other UW combo and you're not having fun

[neat jewel]

Lmao speaking of Pig I actually considered taking Pig Thessaly to make Death chances higher lol 🤪

[lofty oriole]

That's outrageous 😂

Then again if your Ephyra build is super solid then you can just take whatever for R2 🤔

[lofty oriole]

Frei did it herself so that we don't need to bother anymore 😂

[neat jewel]

Mel Staff 65 no Death until after Eris, took Tooth Thessaly
Circe 65 no Death until after Promacles, took Time Piece Thessaly (bro was confident that day for some reason)
Nyx 65 no Death until after Eris, took Onion Thessaly (bro lost 98 health in Ephyra for some reason)

[neat jewel]

Didn't she do it more than once for some reason lol

Yeah Nergal one too lol

Also seen it on Aki 65s a few times cause bro just does whatever he wants sometimes

[rare parcel]

It could be worse

I was using Death and it gave me Strength and Judgement

On Region 3

[lofty oriole]

Ye she did it for her Nergal. With similar results 😂

[neat jewel]

We getting Eternity and Unseen with this one 🔥🐖

[lofty oriole]

Tbf there's some extra timesave with Runner 😂

[lofty oriole]

I wish I was that good enough to take Pork lol

[coarse island]

Thanks 😭

[lofty oriole]

I just want the W and call it a day

[neat jewel]

Actually crazy to me that he didn't have a 67 until recently, just gives me more excuses to not try it tbh LOL

[coarse island]

Nah nah nah.

You’re doing it

[lofty oriole]

I think I said the same a week before I ended up doing it lol

[coarse island]

EXACTLY

[lofty oriole]

Wow it was literally a week

[coarse island]

😭

[lofty oriole]

God this takes me back 💀

I honestly blame @pliant tiger for keeping me in this game lmao

I was on the verge of actually just calling it and moving on back then 😂

[pliant tiger]

w assist from myself

made a legendary pass and u shot the three pointer

[coarse island]

My goat checkmate

His memes are atrocious but he keeps players here lol.

[gilded ravine]

67f by tomorrow

[timber musk]

one of my favorite builds ngl cardio gain mirrored thrasher

[coarse island]

I just realized, how’d max fear only take you a week?! Ur goated. It took me a month and I’m sure you remember lol.

[neat jewel]

Just watched Hookie's UW max fear and he took Pig in Fields too lol, got Origination + Unseen

[pliant tiger]

ok bro

https://giphy.com/gifs/speed-ishowspeed-who-does-he-think-is-4EmytS6dQtA5c6HoCv

[faint orbit]

I'm out (1.3 seconds)

[lofty oriole]

I feel like I was a lot better back then lmao. I'm deffo a lot more washed these days 😂

[merry hare]

Didn't think I would have so much trouble fighting VoR Scylla but at least I finished this run

[lofty oriole]

Insane 😂

Hookie's 67s have been so unique. With the Surface DDs and the UW Pig lol

[coarse island]

Yea.

I just realized I gotta take notes from Aki’s thumbnail and run because holy they cooked on that.

It makes my thumbnail look kinda Garbo

[pliant tiger]

who tf needs good thumbnails

[true remnant]

Rivals Scylla is notoriously one of the harder rivals encounters

[merry hare]

Really?
I thought it was just a skill issue on my part, I was starting to worry that Rivals Cerberus/Chronos would be much worse, same thing for Eris but I found her encounter to be pretty easy actually

[sour widget]

Rivals Scylla and Chronos are often traded back and forth as being considered the hardest rivals boss

Though rivals Prometheus is also really up there, especially since timer is often a massive concern for Olympus

[merry hare]

I usually struggle with base Prometheus, I don't even want to imagine how much is going to take me to beat Rivals Prometheus

[sour widget]

It’s just a lot to keep track of

If you struggle with rivals Scylla cause there’s a lot going on then rivals prom will be a pretty similar case

[merry hare]

I'm guessing Aetos takes a big part of the credit for that

[sour widget]

I’ll let you find out for yourself

[robust sapphire]

Fun sword build (except for Heph duo) + damage modifiers

Had stat shock + electric overload as well as possessed array which I didn't plan for but was overkill anyways

And Zeus and Hermes legendaries

[sour widget]

Everything was dying too fast for the blades to really do anything cause Medea

[robust sapphire]

Yeah I couldn't really see the blades with all the lightning around

[sour widget]

Yeah for being a “blades build” they sure didn’t make it on the damage board

Cut above and profuse bleeding both have their own values on damage board

But you got both pretty late into the run

[robust sapphire]

Yep

I want to do a proper blades build but I also can't give up jpom so

[robust sapphire]

I had another possessed array run with fear removed (except for frenzy and time) and 9 minutes seem to be my current limit

I might look into speedrunning basics

[vale lark]

forgor to post lmao ts was crazy
