#

So "100%" is a little hard to track. Especially if you count having heard all dialogue options (glancing at hypnos)

sacred walrus
#

@buoyant harbor Oh no, it's like all the monologues of the narrator. I missed some (Charon fight). What i call 100% is buying all the things you can, complete all bonds and finish the epilogue i think

#

So was just thinking that 2 of the 3 romances come from nowhere. I'll complete the bond, but it's weird ^^

twin atlas
buoyant harbor
#

25k for one house contractor thing, and then many thousands of darkness for the ranks (post game)

twin atlas
#

Yeah

buoyant harbor
#

I know, I'm farming the former atm xD

twin atlas
#

Ty

#

Which is a same cause that 25 k theme seems sick

twin atlas
#

With bouldy

#

With that if u get rly lucky you might be able to get 1k darkness

sacred walrus
#

I don't see where you can spend darkness. I can only spend it in the mirror

buoyant harbor
#

Nah I'm passively farming while doing speedruns. Never was a fan of grinding for resources.

twin atlas
#

Yeah its boring when its only for grinding

twin atlas
#

Ive also gotten some extra darkness from speedrunning but im just throwing that into bad mirror stuff

sacred walrus
#

But i think i won't do that part too. The game is really fun, but i won't keep playing only for that. Maybe i'll try to do 2nd and 3rd statues of skelly

#

@buoyant harbor I finished the story. I need to finish epilogue for that ?

buoyant harbor
#

Yes

#

For the ranks at least, not sure about the themes.

lean timber
umbral summit
#

There's a theme you can buy from the work orders guy too, right?

latent moon
#

Resource director

#

Is 325k

#

I hit the enter button to early

sacred walrus
#

325 000 darkness for all titles

latent moon
#

Lmao

sacred walrus
#

It must be so long ahah

umbral summit
#

How much darkness do you get from a 10 minute run when all the bosses drop darkness? like 500?

#

That'd be like 110 hours of nonstop very quick runs

hardy spear
#

a 10 minute run is probably more like 18 rta

rustic vale
devout terrace
#

I just realized something

sacred walrus
#

And did you take back ambrosia from Dusa ?

devout terrace
#

when you think about it

rustic vale
#

I’ve gotten 1000 darkness from Hades alone one run thanks to darkness additive

devout terrace
#

lv0 zag shield is just chaos/zeus shield when you get cshot

rustic vale
hardy spear
#

why special when you can cshot

rustic vale
#

Why? Because you can do both

hardy spear
#

time spent using special is time lost from cshot

rustic vale
#

it being out on the field is potential extra damage

hardy spear
#

i-im joking

rustic vale
#

I’m not

hardy spear
#

i see that

rustic vale
#

I mean don’t use it if you have nothing on your special but

hardy spear
#

shield kinda meh in fun for me

sacred walrus
#

Well with all what you said, i think i'll just complete side stories, taking back ambrosia from Dusa and finishing epilogue

#

Is it easy to farm ambrosia ? and titan blood

high island
sacred walrus
#

They should have make the epilogue easier. I know most of rogue like players love doing again and again the game. But with or without the story they'll keep playing. It's not like it's a reward. I'm a bit disappointed about that

#

No i mean the epilogue, not the ending

latent moon
#

i mean frankly
you can keep playing and not know about the epilogue at all, and get it accidentally

#

which is what is supposed to happen tbh

sacred walrus
#

10 runs is okey. But farming ambrosia ect to access the ending. Even if the game is fun, i would like to finish it faster

#

I gave them to Dusa, but i'll prob let them to her. It's not like it's hard to farm them. Just that it's long for no real purpose.

latent moon
#

well the issue with epilogue is dialogue rng

sacred walrus
#

Yeah, i'll prob let them to her (i'm not selfish ahah). But it's more about the number of runs and the RNG. Like how to farm nectar/ambrosia ect

high island
#

You still get new dialogues all the time while progressing towards the epilogue.

#

It's not like there's no content between ending and epilogue.

sacred walrus
#

@brisk trail And you spoke about variety of builds but i have a question. Am i doing my builds badly ? It feels like the fastest build or always base on attack or assault. With all gods

high island
sacred walrus
#

That's a book ^^

high island
#

The video is good for learning the basics of speedrunning and getting some sense of the speedrun build meta for the fastest aspects for each weapon. Lee Reamsnyder's guide is great for getting a general sense of the meta (not just speedruns) for every aspect and some other popular builds and interesting ideas to try out, without going too deep into each. And the guide compendium is great for when you want to dive deep into any particular aspect of speedrunning and learn from some of the very best speedrunners. (And you can expect there's still a lot more fine details beyond what's in the guides there.)

#

Also btw getting to the epilogue isn't really RNG heavy, since like... you'll be done with or nearly done with all of the other storylines by the time you reach the epilogue anyway. RNG basically just decides the order of events before you get the epilogue but not how long it takes for all of those events to happen.

sacred walrus
#

Ok, i'll check that

final wharf
#

what exactlyt does upgrading chiron do

#

i dont see a difference

#

i get 3 specials in

#

then it tpots

rustic vale
#

goes from 3 to 8

final wharf
swift inlet
#

So it's really dependent on levels

rustic vale
#

yeah

#

it doesn't come into it's own until level 4 or 5

final wharf
#

im maxed]

#

just maxed it rn

#

also how do i reroll

#

nvm

rustic vale
#

reroll?

twilit lodge
#

Reroll option shows up at the bottom of boon selection screen

#

Or if using room rerolls you press gift/call button at the door

rustic vale
final wharf
#

only 3 per run right

twilit lodge
#

If you can’t reroll a certain room it will say so

#

8 for rooms 4 for boons

twin atlas
twilit lodge
#

But you can get more by taking key reward rooms if you have the fated keys upgrade

rustic vale
twin atlas
#

Number 1 chiron hater 💪

rustic vale
twin atlas
#

Zag bow is cool

twilit lodge
#

Chiron ez

rustic vale
#

zag bow is my main weapon rn

#

because I got told maining weapons would be better for hitting 40 heat

twin atlas
#

Rama and eris are mine

twilit lodge
#

Chiron haters have napoleon complex energy

twin atlas
#

Tho im only running eris

#

Cause its so easy

twin atlas
rustic vale
#

I don't hate chiron
I just acknowledge that everything else is better

rustic vale
twilit lodge
#

Metric doesn’t exist

twin atlas
#

Im just saying

twilit lodge
#

I’m 6’4” tho

#

And I don’t hate Chiron

twin atlas
#

Im 6’5

#

Midget

twilit lodge
#

True

#

Chiron haters have long mutant energy

twin atlas
#

Damn

#

Got outplayed

rustic vale
#

I’m 5’9 I think?

twin atlas
#

I just find rama so much funner

#

And faster

#

Essicaply with that one hammer

rustic vale
dull niche
#

i hate chiron very much and i am about 5’7

waxen gull
#

Hmm, I've only fought Chiron once

#

Is it usual to fight him?

dull niche
#

ur thinking of charon

#

we’re talking chiron the bow aspect

waxen gull
#

Ah

tepid light
#

Yup Guan Yu is just as unwieldy and difficult to pull off as I remember

#

God I wish this aspect was better

waxen gull
#

Yea, Charon was the character I was talking about

twin atlas
#

The thing i rly hate about it is that even maxed out it fires less special shots than a standard bow

tepid light
twin atlas
#

Nah

tepid light
#

Given that they're all going into the same enemy's face

twin atlas
#

Its at 8 and sucks

#

Buffing it to 9 wouldnt make it much better

tepid light
#

I don't feel like chiron is as bad as you're making it out to be

#

But different strokes I guess

twin atlas
#

Atleast for speed it seems rly bad

#

And while im still a scrub

#

Based of there being no rly super fast clears with it i dont think my hate is unjustified

tepid light
#

So just because something can't be used at the highest/fastest levels, means it's objectively bad?

twin atlas
#

Well like

#

It depends on what ur evaluating it on

tepid light
#

Indeed it does

twin atlas
#

If ur talking about how it feels to use

tepid light
#

I suppose it's really hard for me to believe things are 'bad' when things like chaos shield and gilgamesh claws exist

twin atlas
#

Its impossible to say objectively if its good or bad

sacred walrus
#

Is there a reason to let Ambrosia to Dusa except for "RP"

twin atlas
#

she has a summon

dull niche
#

chiron is quite good for most players looking for clears, but starts to struggle quite a bit when you try to push the heat or speed

twin atlas
twin atlas
tepid light
#

dusa summon isn't great no
but completion and story stuff

rustic vale
#

Hades is a perfect game with no flaws

twin atlas
#

Sotrue

tepid light
#

Damn u right

twin atlas
#

Theres nothing wrong with beowulfs mechanics

#

Especially not mirage shot or trippy flare

rustic vale
#

Everything in hades is perfect it’s just somethings are less perfect

rustic vale
twin atlas
#

Yeah

#

Im ok with beowulf being glitchy

#

Im just not sure why it is

dull niche
#

most likely because it was one of the last aspects added and the one that required the most fundamental changes, since it’s the only aspect that fundamentally changes all casts

#

but even then p much all of its bugs most ppl won’t notice unless someone specifically tells u

twin atlas
#

Yeah even tho i ran mirage shot on it before i never noticed it until ppl told me about it

latent moon
#

There's so many damage amplifiers in the game that a normal person wouldn't bother calculating or looking at the numbers

#

They'll just be like "haha big number"

# rustic vale because I got told maining weapons would be better for hitting 40 heat

If your goal is just 40 and not 40 with a specific weapon or aspect, then focus on practicing with whatever aspect you think is best for the job for you.

If you think that's Zag Bow, then use that. If you want to get to the point where you can do 40 consistently with it, then just keep doing attempts regardless of how good the run is going. If you want to do 40 asap with it, then reset for a good build out of Tartarus with Twin Shot or Triple Shot, good Attack, and at least 1x Strike or Lunge from Master Chaos or a great Dash, something like that.

Zag Bow with low damage is much harder than when you're killing everything in 1-2 shots and can quickly phase bosses.

#

Consistency means you need to be able to clear with the aspect at its worst. Just clearing means you can just reset to play with the aspect at its best.

rustic vale
#

With it at it’s worst huh

#

I will admit not having twin or triple is quite crippling for zag bow

high island
#

Zag Bow consistency is kind of mid since bad hammers will be bad.

rustic vale
#

Hera seems like it’d be consistent enough once I remap cast then

high island
#

DPS can still be enough, though. And having range is good.

#

Nah, Hera isn't good at 40+.

rustic vale
#

What is consistent at 40+?

high island
#

Anything if you have the skill.

rustic vale
high island
#

Hestia, Rama, Beowulf, Zeus, Eris... All of the top tier high heat aspects are also very consistent.

latent moon
#

B e o w u l f

high island
#

Eris you get Lightning Strike + Tidal Dash and from there you already have so many ways to scale your damage... Beowulf, you only need Passion Flare + Snow Burst or Frost Strike (can also still go for Flood Shot and Mirage). And the others you could basically just use Shackle and your build is done.

#

Not that I recommend Shackle start, but you just need like 1-2 boons and you're already fine with DPS because the base is so strong.

#

Big difference between Beowulf and Hera for high heat is Beowulf casts still drop right away even when you don't one-shot an enemy. Hera suffers a lot more when you're not one-shotting enemies.

#

Also block gud.

latent moon
tepid light
#

Hera buff: if the initial hit doesn't kill the enemy, the cast damage keeps proccing on them until they die

#

Fair and balanced

high island
#

If you want a similar approach to Zag Bow but easier... Hestia loses piercing but otherwise has basically the same range but the shots are instant and you can move more freely... and way better single-target damage.

Alternatively, take any shield that you like and reset for Charged Shot and you have a better Zag Bow that can block while charging, doesn't need to charge for max damage, can't be blocked... shadeohboy

#

Doesn't scale with Dash-Strike damage is the one downside compared to Zag Bow.

high island
lean timber
#

who's croven

latent moon
lean timber
#

sorry i would rather not spend three minutes in every biome chasing casts

latent moon
#

smh

#

just hit the shots man

lean timber
rustic vale
high island
#

Firing your bloodstones into the void with Hera is like missing your power shot timing with Zag Bow.

#

Takes practice to be consistent, but ultimately it's an avoidable error.

brisk trail
#

so let me get this straight
mirage shot doesnt shoot out another cast that deals 30%, but a duplicate of ur original cast (so 100%)

#

?

magic fern
#

it only deals 100% with beowulf

rustic vale
#

On every other weapon it works as it says it does

brisk trail
#

oh ok

latent moon
#

idk if it's an exact duplicate of the flare for beo, since i can't tell the size of the mirage flare but that bug only works on flares

lean timber
#

i mean it is coded to be just another cast, but at .3x power, right? is the size something that ever changes?

latent moon
#

no clue

lean timber
humble river
#

For Underworld Customs (sell a boon to get to next biome), do you need to do it in the area between biomes, or can you sell a boon before that and it still counts?

old belfry
#

pretty sure it's in between biomes

latent moon
#

only in between biomes

#

if you sell one earlier it wont count

humble river
#

Thanks

stone sigil
#

Are demeter boons bad? I dont really see any use for any of them (besides rare crop or stubborn roots)

magic fern
#

ravenous will's good with cast aspects

latent moon
#

snow burst is good for castpects

#

arctic blast isnt bad either if you inflict chill a lot

#

and it's a good % as well

humble river
latent moon
#

she's a pretty average god tbh

#

none of her duos are that great or necessary unless you're doing meme beams

humble river
#

Yeah definitely more popular ones

latent moon
#

so she's generally never one of those core gods you actively look for unless you're playing pstatus beo

#

but like, if you're playing something that doesn't need a duo and you find an epic dem atk/special boon for the appropriate core, then i'd take it

#

like if i'm playing zeus shield and i see epic frost strike in tartarus, i'd just take it

humble river
#

Yeah, that was a big lesson for me, that the rarity matters a lot. A build might want me to pick up aphrodite or artemis attack/special, but an Epic Demeter attack/special might do just fine for some builds

latent moon
#

yeah if you need a specific god for that core then obv dont take it, but if it's just a free slot then sure why not

#

you wouldn't want dem atk on heart rend or low tolerance chiron bow, even if it's epic

humble river
#

So I understand Rush Delivery (bonus dmg from move speed) + Hyper Sprint (+100% move speed after dash) is popular. Doesn't seem like dash-strike triggers the bonus move speed though, so do people not take it for dash-strike builds/adjust to attack? Or am I just dashstriking incorrectly?

lean timber
#

you're doing it too slow

#

if you dash strike and immediately go for the attack, it should hit with most weapons

#

things like rama may need some strategy adjustments

#

depending on your playstyle

humble river
#

Ah okay. My test was probably invalid. I was dashstriking, then trying to run around to see if it triggered the move bonus

#

Just doing eris

lean timber
#

yeah that won't do anything lol

#

try shotgunning an enemy with rocket bomb special with rd, that will always hit and deal the 100%. it takes some getting used to. it really forces you to go fast

humble river
#

Since I have Delta Chamber, I am just holding down attack and periodically hitting dash like I normally would

#

Hmm, okay so dash-strike, then immediately special?

lean timber
#

basically as long as the little rainbow shield is up, you are dealing your rush delivery bonus damage

humble river
#

Ah that's what I hsould look for

lean timber
#

no just dash into an enemy and immediately hit special

#

pretend it's a dash strike

#

but with special

#

it should blow them to smithereens 👍

humble river
#

Okay that'll require some practice. My dash-strike method is to mash both buttons together atm

#

Thanks for the help!

vivid girder
#

guys, how much probable do you think is to see an Hades DLC?

vivid girder
devout terrace
#

Its been 2 years with no teases, and supergiant never releases extra content for their games

#

zagcry indeed

vivid girder
#

I just read the pinned message from this channel...

#

maybe an Hades 2...?

devout terrace
#

Dunno

high island
#

I don't think that's likely. They seem to always want to push their creativity in new ways.

noble quarry
#

yeah they do diffirent stuff every time

#

i do really like the gameplay and world they created for hades so would love a hades 2 or dlc but chances of it hapening are close to zero

rustic vale
#

Hades 2: Electric Boogaloo: Zeus

lean timber
#

maybe they'll do one where zag goes completely beserk

#

they could call it hades: nuts!

noble quarry
#

or maybe one where humans wanna slay the gods because olympus messed up and you have to kill all the godslayers who invaded the underworld

rustic vale
#

But seriously doubt dlc or a sequel, SGG has other games to work on

noble quarry
#

sequel has chance but not holding my breath

#

as for hades i dont expect much more they are working or some kind of making of dvd or something in theire merch store but after that think even that ends

#

did sgg announce what they are working on next or not yet?

noble quarry
#

So what exactly do those songs do you can unlock for diamonds?

twin atlas
#

i dont think dlc is super likely or a second game, atleast right away

#

but the massive success of hades makes it more likely than other games theyve done

noble quarry
#

So those music sheets is it to play in the house of hades?

noble quarry
#

Ok great was afraid i was missing out on music in runs its if its only for house

#

yeah i havent touched them yet

#

for diamonds i only got upgrades only need gate of erebus i think from that only cosmetic i got from them was harb might go for songs next and after having them all go for diamond decor

#

why would you not go for all the music first

#

fair point

#

maybe should just pick a nice track and decor first

#

orpheus you mean yes

#

oh no not yet

#

i think i have 4 i was doing upgrades was saving for gate of erebus its the last one i need

noble quarry
#

looked at hades merch that ost and cerberus plush do look tempting

rustic vale
#

If only I could use my in game currency to buy the hades merch from housing contractor

noble quarry

theere are also hades netodroids i just saw

#

how to use keys if u unlocked the mirror AND the weapons

#

other then exchaning them for nectar?

twin atlas
#

exchanging yeah

#

and late game picking them up can give u benfits mid run

south sapphire
#

resetting???

south sapphire
twin atlas
#

uh so

#

ur last mirror unlock

#

were u can alter room rewards or boon options by rerolling them

#

keys give u a extra reroll

south sapphire
#

epic

#

whats the most broken god in the game

#

and the most broken duo boon too

twin atlas
#

uh

#

kinda hard to answer

#

rly depends on the weapon

#

posiden and arte are rly good

south sapphire
#

1 for every weapon maybe

twin atlas
#

i dont know enough to know which is the best for every of the 24 weapons

#

sorry

south sapphire
#

im pretty sure theres 6

#

nvm im dumb

twin atlas
#

they have guides for most aspects

south sapphire
#

every SINGLE 1?

twin atlas
#

which point out what gods are the best

twin atlas
south sapphire
#

ex?

twin atlas
#

???

south sapphire
#

how to reroll

#

like the dice

#

are those the things you do from keys

#

and if so how??

twin atlas
#

you need to have the bottom mirror unlocked

#

and for fated persiuan

#

fated authority sucks

#

and then buy the key upgrade from the house contracter

south sapphire
#

any guide on yt

#

cuz i dont really get most of this stuff

#

been a while since i played

#

also why does demeter appear so late

twin atlas
latent moon
latent moon
#

every melee build basically uses ME for top level speedruns

#

mirage shot is broken on beowulf so that's neat

south sapphire
latent moon
#

get to hades

south sapphire
latent moon
#

it has the same appearance rate as other duos bouldy

#

you just need a lot to go with it

#

mainly divine dash

#

but you also need impending doom

twin atlas
latent moon
#

only like

#

2 aspects benefit from mirage shot

twin atlas
#

it makes one of the best aspects in the game

#

beo is like

latent moon
#

beo was already a top tier aspect before the mirage shot bug was discovered

twin atlas
#

top 4 right?

latent moon
#

yeah

#

it still probably would be there even if the mirage bug wasn't discovered tho

#

pstatus passion flare does a lot of damage

umbral summit
#

Brilliant Reposte wrecks the projectile Lernies so, so hard

raw herald

Cshot is busted either way

and that

Tbf hera got a sub 5 🗿

latent moon
#

lmao yeah

#

what's the fastest passion flare time?

twin atlas
#

i think its crovens current time rn

latent moon
#

that's crush shot

#

for hera

twin atlas
#

oh sorry

latent moon
#

i want to know about beo

raw herald
#

There’s a 5:37

#

Maybe quicker

latent moon
#

damn

raw herald
#

It was the first unmodded beo sub6

latent moon
#

yeah mirage doesn't make beo good, beo is just already busted lmao

#

mirage just makes beo literally broken

south sapphire
#

butterflys are so annoying

latent moon
#

i forgot how annoying they were until the rama run i just did

south sapphire

just make them

Any tips on getting Chaos to show up multiple times in a run other than spending rerolls on wells?

latent moon
#

nope

#

at that point it's just rng

rustic vale
#

rng manipulate

#

Route your run

umbral summit
#

Trying to get his legendary, and no luck on even seeing him a 2nd time yet

#

Would rather keep at least 3 reroll charges for his 2nd time if possible

#

Reset as in die?

#

yes

latent moon

#

I'd rather keep my run record accurate, so I'll just wait

#

It almost feels like to me that Ixions show up in wells more often if you've not already been to Chaos that run

#

Question about High Voltage. Does the AoE it talks about refer to the AoE damage range of an individual bolt, or the area within that bolts can target after a trigger?

#

Oh man, Hera + Greater Recall + Flurry Shot

I am regretting not feeding Orpheus full of nectar earlier in the game

#

Now that I've advanced the Eurydice subquest as far as I have, he's singing 70% of the time he's present and I can't gift him

#

Can you get to 0 dash length by stacking stuff like dash length down boons and chaos penalties?

lean timber
#

no it's multiplicative

#

but you could always get down to almost zero

stone sigil
#

Bro i cant gift meg nectar it nevers gives me the option

umbral summit
#

Maybe I should take off Dark Foresight so I get more key rooms

rustic vale
#

that’s a bruh moment

#

Just get keys by using gemstones you get from clearing your runs

umbral summit
#

That won't help me get rerolls

rustic vale
#

Getting more boons is like rerolling… but you don’t lose the 3 options

umbral summit
#

I don't want more boons

#

I want chaos pops

rustic vale
#

what are you dojng

Trying to get Chaos's legendary for the prophecy

rustic vale
#

Oh bruh then sure

#

That tracks

swift inlet
#

Check wells for light of ixion; the only prereq for chaos legendary is to already have a chaos boon, so you just want to see them several times in one run

umbral summit
#

6 well rerolls and not a single ixion

#

4th run in a row without seeing a 2nd chaos

swift inlet
#

Well, you just gotta keep at it

latent moon
#

chaos legendary do be like that

#

remembering that time when i got 2 in one run and still failed

umbral summit
#

Running with God's Legacy and Chaos Egg after Tartarus, so hopefully I can find it if I can just get a 2nd chaos in 1 run

latent moon
#

e g g

lean timber
#

i disagree

umbral summit
#

Welp, got 2nd chaos, but 2 rerolls and nothing

#

I wonder if there's any combination of Pushback and Movement speed down boons that could get you to make Asterius to be pushed back faster than he can charge at you

latent moon
#

flurry shot tempest strike with second wave lmao

#

maybe that'd work

lean timber
#

no lucy attack

latent moon
#

That doesn't have a lot of velocity

#

I don't think

umbral summit
#

noooo

#

Another 2 rerolls on chaos #2 with legacy, yarn, and egg, and nothing

twilit lodge
#

Have you been avoiding chaos up until this point or something?

umbral summit
#

No

twilit lodge
#

Shouldn’t take too long to see it if you actively take chaos portals whenever possible

umbral summit
#

I'm at over 100 runs and have never seen it

twilit lodge
#

My hellmode save is only missing it for the prophecy because I take other things over defiance lol

#

Seen it three times though

#

I wouldn’t suggest rolling more than once per chaos though

umbral summit
#

I am finding Ixion/second natural Chaos so incredibly rarely that if I don't blow all my remaining rerolls on it i'm likely to waste them

#

I'm only doing 1 reroll per well, though

#

Since there's lots of wells

lean timber
#

ixion is quite rare

twin atlas
#

Just got my new distro, trying to download mods now

umbral summit
#

Then you guys' luck is very different from mine

#

Ixion was the second last well item I saw in general for the well prophecy

latent moon
#

I've probably seen defiance like 4 times on my modded file

#

Once on main save

twilit lodge
#

Than with mort hecka cute

noble quarry
#

i likely order but that one is only releasing in january

twilit lodge
#

Also since you asked about channels to post pics, #h1-victory-boasting is the only channel where you can directly post images

rustic vale
#

Zag minifigure with all aspects when?

twilit lodge
#

But they have to be victories

rustic vale
#

Not really

twilit lodge
#

Or “accomplishments”

noble quarry
rustic vale
#

I’m thinking of like one zag minifigure and then a bunch of aspects that would fit into his hand

noble quarry
#

if they would be real nice they would release a hades one and give him other aspects we can use on our prince

#

also amiami still had our reaper boy so got it ordered might do a unboxing of it when its out

#

wonder if we are getting meg next

Lmfao

I am keeping track; I've now gone through 36 Chaos boons with legendary possible with no luck since starting looking (3 boons per look, 2 rerolls per visit, 4 eligible Chaos visits)

Do Aether Nets stack? I've got one with 1 encounter left, and my one encounter is going to be the final boss, but I'm at a Charon well and can buy another. Would it stack and do 15% + 15% + 20% from Zeus?

#

Oh yea also partway through this I realized I didn't check if it was stacking with Zeus +20% starting

rustic vale
#

Additively for the most part

rich herald
#

Bro this is a free run
I literally sold Athena's health restore on losing Death Defiance twice because the coins were so worth it and they've helped me not need to lose all 3 lmao

#

And yes she offered it back to me one chamber after I sold it

#

Cuz she wasn't offering anything I wanted and I figured it'd sell well lmao

rustic vale
#

You mean the duo?

#

Stubborn roots?

#

Other then that I can’t think of athena health restore

#

And I don’t think you can sell her dd boons

vital tapir
#

yea those are unpurgeable

umbral summit
#

I think EM Asterius is programmed to do his repeated spin attack when you summon Skelly

#

Has happened right after I summoned him 3 times now

noble quarry
#

so bit back on merch i was wrong we are also getting a pop up parade figure of or prince in the future too

covert oracle
#

so what happens with chaos's legendary boon and stubborn defiance?

it's just an extra dd that gets used after your sd

yes

#

and athena dd cheese

rustic vale
#

sword doesn’t have dash special unless you mean dash nova hammer

#

and i think it still happens you just don’t just twice in that case

sly ridge
#

no idea whats going on here but yes

twilit lodge
#

It’s easier if you special and then dash

rustic vale
#

You don’t jump twice*

#

Like dash nova lands and on landing sends 2 novas

#

Rather than dashing twice

#

I believe

#

I had gotten confused about what you meant by dash specialing on sword

#

Because to my knowledge only fists has a specific dash special type thing and sword has it’s hammer

vital tapir
#

are you sure you’re not dashing before the second special hit

#

Poseidon is underrated for how much power he has over the world

how they think other people consider poseidon not great or whatever

rustic vale

Global warming is making sea levels rise? More like we haven’t been paying attention as poseidon grows stronger

well and its dueo meaning you have to pickup his what where it atk/special/call/cast for it

Not exactly a movie

umbral summit

A documentary of the real stories of the ancient greek gods

For too long we've had confusing and mutually contradictory myths, it's time to find out what actually happened

Is there any reason to play a spear other than Zags?

#

Achiles feels bad, Hades feels slow, Guan Yu feels underwhelming

signal aspen
#

achilles has insane movement and damage

#

hades has good damage

#

and guan yu has good damage but at a cost

#

all of those are better than zag spear

slim geyser
#

zag spear bad

#

hades also pretty bad

chilly flume
#

Really? I though Zag's safety to be better than Achilles' dash stuff

slim geyser
#

Bur Achilles is great

#

Nope

signal aspen
#

not including guan yu bouldy

slim geyser
#

gaun yu is anti saftey

chilly flume
#

Span special, never engage, sniper build

signal aspen
#

hades does that but better

chilly flume
#

Hades special is so slow tho

signal aspen
#

the extra 25% special speed and range isnt gonna do much

#

just take the 150% special damage from hades

chilly flume

(Locked behind charged strike)

slim geyser

Achilles also just does stupid damage

and is very speedy

Alright, gonna run Achiles

try a cast build!

Wait, you can recall Achilles with strike

#

What

#

Kekw

rustic vale
# chilly flume Achiles feels bad, Hades feels slow, Guan Yu feels underwhelming

Achilles is pretty much best spear because +150% to the next 4 casts and attacks is huge
Zag spear isn’t nearly as strong, but it can go flurry jab or explosive launcher plus charger skewer I guess
Hades is pretty much only good if you hit explosive launcher -> charged skewer (or quick spin I guess)
Guan-yu is like zag or hades but with a built-in improved explosive launcher

#

Like

#

Also idk what you mean by the safety of zag

#

Sidenote: Spear is pretty hammer dependent overall tbh

chilly flume
#

I understood incorrectly that you were locked into dashing towards the spear

#

Never once did I press strike lol

rustic vale
#

Dashing towards the spear isn’t really an issue for the most part

#

Unless you throw it on top of the (lava?magma?) in asphodel

oak apex
#

for achilles you just have to get used toi the playstyle

rustic vale
#

Also achilles may feel underwhelming due to how you’ve been building it… idk how you’ve been building it

umbral summit
#

how u jackhammer in rhythm games

twin atlas
#

only achillies is good

latent moon
#

Zag spear is better than hades spear

#

Well it's harder to get the right hammers

#

But assuming you can it's better

rustic vale
#

Just anvil into flurry explosive charged

latent moon
#

True

tepid light
#

you basically need quick spin to make hades spear better than zag spear

#

but if you do have it, you can apply the debuff pretty easily and get some nice extra damage

devout terrace
#

zag spear op

tepid light
#

weak bait

#

but yeah as much as i like spear in general, it's kind of sad that achilles is the only really worthwhile one in most cases

gray moth

I take that back that was not called for

I need to start doing that probably

tepid light
gray moth
#

I never use my specials

tepid light
#

when i play hades spear, i just apply the debuff and then wail on them with my attack

gray moth
#

Same tbh

rustic vale
#

Hades zag and guan-yu kind of rely on it
I mean zag can get flurry jab thoug

#

and guan-yu you could take quick or massive alongside charged

tepid light
#

spear special just feels so bad unless you're running guan yu

signal aspen
#

hades spear without chain skewer is so sad zagcry

gray moth
#

I dont use any specials really

Spear special feels bad unless you’re running guan-yu or have explosive launcher

what do you mean

Oh i see

raw herald

aspect of hades

tepid light
#

You mean how the debuff doesn't apply to further spin attacks?

raw herald
#

yeah

tepid light
#

Yeah it's unfortunate, but usually spamming spin attack over and over isn't very efficient anyway

#

The only time I really do it is during dad fight so I can just get some free damage on him while he's lasering

#

The story has so much voice lines that sometimes you hear one that you shouldnt hear, like from past event

brisk trail
#

how does the game determine which pins to pin on the victory screen

rustic vale
#

There is a formula

#

1 hammer is guaranteed I think

#

And perhaps 1 legendary or duo if applicable

#

Aspect or companion

#

I don’t remember it all

twilit lodge
#

It’s cuz companion is legendary

“Weapon aspect, at least 1 hammer, at least 1 duo/legendary, leveled up boons. If I remember right, the priority was something like this.” -nyaanyaa

That has not been the case for me

Was at >50 clears and still hadn't seen about half of the duo and legendary boons, so had to purposefully seek them out

Never saw flame wheel release until I started looking for it and spamming rerolls and wells

#

Oh, and I have to finish the last 3 fish journal entries left too, forgot about that

latent moon

i mean i've never really sought out any boons/hammers/well items and got the prophecies completed
just a lot of time and curiosity got them for me

umbral summit

Then you are significantly luckier than me

Or have done many, many more runs than I plan to

i got chaos legendary at probably around run 225

all the duos and hammer stuff i finished a lot earlier tho

I'm planning to try to finish at around 150 clears or so

Currently at 90 clears or so, working on heat while searching for this last boon
