stone rune
stone rune
#

and then nyaanyaa did 36

#

and then tomato pushed

formal citrus
#

Is it basically shackle hestia clockets starting with cluster?

#

Does boonless just mean you have to finish with no boons? Do you run persuasion authority to ensure that?

mint coral
#

If you just want the dialogue you need to end with no boons that can be sold

#

For boonless leaderboard you also can't benefit from the boons at all

formal citrus
#

Mirrorless?

mint coral
#

Oops

formal citrus
#

So do you run persuasion and keep rerolling if you only have God exits?

mint coral
#

Do you mean authority

formal citrus
#

Yeah

#

Frick

mint coral
#

But yeah I think it just boils down to that

#

And pray styx isn't absolute mean

formal citrus
#

I guess ri 1 is a given lol

#

But that means no dice to start to roll out of a boon door

stone rune
#

it’s unmodded but none of the runs are clockets i believe

formal citrus
#

Hazard?

stone rune
#

it’s all unmodded

#

mine was ricochet first rocket second

formal citrus
#

Would have assumed hammer was essential. Interesting

mint coral
#

Hestia has many good hammers

formal citrus
#

Not that those are bad hammers but

stone rune
#

yea u do have to get good hammers

#

but there are a lot

formal citrus
#

Neat

stone rune
#

ricochet piercing hazard rocket cluster targ

#

if you’re really in a coping mood explosive

formal citrus
#

Triple?

plush ferry
#

triple bomb is slow

stone rune
#

yea triple is fine

hardy spear
stone rune
gilded sorrel
#

How many mini-chambers are in each Styx chamber? It's a range right?

stone rune
#

3 or 4

#

they're called short or long tunnels

#

and then another at the end

gilded sorrel
#

That's what I was gonna ask LOL

stone rune
#

the miniboss or annoying long one

gilded sorrel
#

Thanks

stone rune
#

so total 4/5

upper wolf
#

does RI4 works for getting the mirrorless dialogue ?

latent moon
#

Yeah

#

Fairly certain

gray lion
#

why cant i give a 7th nectar to thanatos? it wont let me give him an ambrosia either

plush ferry

gray lion

stray shard
#

I learnt out of tartarus on guitar bouldy

plush ferry
#

wooo grats

upper wolf
#

Blood and darkness, I thought you meant you tried to get to asphodel in game while playing on a guitar controller

wispy sinew
#

Is it random to get Meg at house? I'm trying to raise relationship with her but she's never here

meager basalt
#

Yeah it's random. You do have to kill her for her to appear tho

umbral parrot
#

why did hades get removed from game pass tho

raw herald
#

Don’t most indie games get removed at some point

meager shuttle
wispy sinew
#

@meager basalt thanks I will just wipe yo get her I keep getting one the others sadly

grizzled current
#

@gray lion if you can't give ppl nectar or ambrosia, you have more dialogue with them or something

#

I quite like that, I'm still finding out new things and I feel like I've been playing for a while. Still don't have some hidden aspects as well.

whole comet
formal citrus
#

Yep, hence to start

#

Too bad switching to styg soul does nada (right?)

chilly jasper
#

what are the best hammers for aspect of demeter?

stone rune
#

breaching cross > kinetic launcher = explosive upper

#

long knuckle is safe

chilly jasper
#

what breaching cross do again

#

is that the shield breaking one

stone rune
#

+900% damage against armored foes on dash strikes

chilly jasper
#

aight

#

i love kinetic launcher + aphro boon

#

or arte

is there a save editor for hades? i lost some save data

grave sage

Does bad news still increase all damage

gray apex
#

Game does not get balance patches anymore

bright sentinel
#

Have you tried going faster

signal bronze
#

whats the max for packt of punishment?

#

63 or 64

raw herald
#

63 without hellmode, 64 with hellmode

raw herald
#

Both ambrosia and poms are good here imo

pastel monolith
#

lmao

#

ambrosia if u wana roll the dice or pom for a safe bet

#

id say gamble!

#

always gamble lol

#

ya not sure what all ur secondary boons are

#

also ur main 2 boons are already leveld up so pom wont do much

#

poms have extremely diminishing returns after like level 3

#

except some specific boons like casts or hangover, pressure points, where they just go up the same small amount with each level

#

nice!

#

true

#

aphro is a beast

#

i like to take the one that makes next boons rare if i havent got hermes yet. hermes rarity is pog sometomes and rare to get naturally

stone rune
#

don’t use that abbreviation

#

i thought u took quick reload

pastel monolith
#

i havent played hades for a couple weeks been distracted by gta online.. i tried a run last night and died in elysium lmao

#

just like 22 or somethin

#

i wasnt rly trying i had a wonky build with gilgamesh

#

also i kinda just gave up andnlet myself die.. i wasnt doing well and i knew em 4 hades was gonna get me anyway.. plus it was bedtime lol

stone rune
#

huh

pastel monolith
#

i wouldnt roll to sell anything unless u have customs on and it scams u

#

oh ya sorry i didnt look at ur pact

stone rune
#

i guess roll

pastel monolith
#

my 23 heat runs dont use uc.. i do em4, deadline 2, ben package, middle management, fo1 .. somethin like that

#

i think im forgetting something

#

just messin around

formal citrus
pastel monolith
#

never js lol

formal citrus
#

Messing around

pastel monolith
#

i have my pact at like 23 heat and i orety much dont use god keepsakes so i get some random builds and challenge myself

#

sometimes i get rly liucky with a great build

mint coral
#

What's the third but probably just kinetic

pastel monolith
#

i also never take max health.. alwaus something that's gona make me stronger

mint coral
#

Yeah go launcher

pastel monolith
#

trying to get good lol

mint coral
#

What build is even this

formal citrus
#

UC is definitely an easier pact but it is a final build limiting pact which is why I will some times forgo it

native blade
#

Incomparably based.

can u not get wells in mini-boss rooms?

upper wolf

I don't think there's any mini-boss room layout with places for wells/troves/pools

unfortunate

stone rune

how do u get a dd

#

are u on dds at 40

mint coral
#

Athena?

stone rune
#

styx

mint coral
#

I assumed doing tunnel first so it was an encounter instead of fountain

stone rune
#

can’t reset

mint coral
#

Also works

stone rune
#

oh i forgot they put encounters in styx

tulip heron
#

is there a save editor i lost some save data to a steam glitch

noooo ||Dusa 😭||

desert tundra
#

I found a funny bug where if you die while fishing, Zag will keep saying voice lines about fishing and an occasional pop up will say to press a button to stop fishing lol

#

Wish I got a clip of it

upper wolf
#

How do you die while fishing ?

desert tundra
#

Asphodel fire skill issue

upper wolf
#

I thought you were invulnerable during fishing. Huh, neat

mint coral
#

My first 40 attempt that got into aspho died in the first combat because of that lmao

desert tundra
#

trying to do 32 heat with HS on so ye

mint coral
#

Another bad one is that you are allowed to fish before a survival room begins

upper wolf
#

I feel like HS would be so free if lava wasn't a thing

mint coral
#

And you get stuck there and enemies can just wack you

desert tundra
mint coral
desert tundra
#

especially when they spit it out on the ground in areas where the ground is segmented

mint coral
#

And we all know the "just don't get hit" just simply doesn't work 100% of the times bouldy

desert tundra
#

It's as shrimple as that

latent moon
#

"just don't hit the trap" is a great philosophy until you get one tapped by a pot for 150

stray shard
#

Guys how did u do the aspect of beowulf bug thing ?

#

Like where the second cast does 100% damage

mint coral
#

Just pick up mirage shot

#

Is the duo boon of artemis + pos

stray shard
#

Alr thanks

pastel monolith
#

when i was a noob highetened security was the first heat i added lol thinking ok nbd just avoid traps.. turns out its like one of the most difficult pacts of punishment on the list and only worth one heat

latent moon
#

Lmao I used to think dc was free

#

"just hit them again 5head"

native blade
#

Lmao

#

Yeah… it’s the Calisthenics Package initials isn’t it? Well pretty much I thought it was lukewarm at best and then I got evaporated.

pastel monolith
#

damage control and calisthenics program are my least favorite heats..
i like bein able to make enemies pass away easily and anything that slows down that process anoys me lol

#

especially for bosses and even minibosses.. damage control ruins my meg timing

plush ferry
#

damage control and calisthenics package were my first heat attempts after getting eaten by the trap one

#

+400% lava damage doesnt mess around

upper wolf
#

hades pots are mostly an issue when you start using FO and EM4 ime

#

With "basic" pots you can avoid them pretty easily on most aspects

#

Melee is a struggle ofc

#

I still think HS is ok to take

mint coral
#

Best upside of HS is faster sd resetting

#

~~sometimes not on purpose ~~

upper wolf
#

nah I'd take HS even at 32

#

hell, I'd take it at 16

#

tbh it's not really that bad on its own, it just synergises too well with other pacts

stone rune
#

i took hs0 at 50

mint coral
#

I would take it at lower heat but you run into the "it's just 1 heat" again

upper wolf
#

If HS has 1 000 000 supporters then they're probably all noobs but I'm one of them

stone rune
#

hs bad

upper wolf
#

if HS has 1 supporter it's me

#

if HS has 0 supporter it's because I died in asphodel

pastel monolith
#

my highest heat pb was 43 i didnt have hs

#

pretty sure anyway lol

#

hs, cp, js, ri . those are heats i avoid at all costs

stone rune
#

i could have taken js0 cp0 hs0

#

but i did js2 cp1 hs0 fo1

royal widget
#

i take hs past 40

pastel monolith
#

if i could maybe cut back on the deadline and get better at em4.. i could use cp and js maybe

#

ya em4 kills me all the time even like 20 heat runs

upper wolf
#

I take EM4 as soon as I can because dying like an idiot is secondary to my goal to listen to The Unseen Ones during an epic battle

#

btw now that I've seen your nick I'm wondering what's the exact damage of a heroic lvl50 athena dash

#

scaling is bad iirc ?

#

so something like 70 maybe ?

#

oh

#

I was way lower lol

stone rune
#

achilles not bad

upper wolf
#

Though I can't say I'm surprised about not knowing how much poms give to DDash x)

stone rune
#

on ahcilles modded u can just do dio attack

#

hold m1 and spam space

#

anyheat is easier to die in

#

u dont have idk man as

latent moon
#

40 achilles honestly isn't that bad i dont think

#

hunting blades is still relatively easy to get and you can start arty atk if you want lmao

#

actually apparently i've never done 40 heat achilles

#

so i can't say much lmao

Dang stygian shards really do stack. Just saw a crossbow trap in elysium deal 21600 damage

Multiplicative trap dmg my beloved

crystal star
#

Someone gimme a rama build

#

Anything

#

I never use rama

stone rune
#

A beefy % attack, Aphro is very good (ideally not common), or you can go for Artemis because crits, any high rarity % attack can do except Poseidon (avoid that one), for the Special you want flat damage, it's not hard to come by, usually not worth forcing tho, Ares Dio Zeus are the main ones, you can go for Demeter and try to get Killing freeze, it can work pretty well, for the Dash there arent many options because most of them are either anti-synergy or just dont do anything, Artemis however is probably the best in slot dash, because Rama relies on dash strikes and getting dash strike damage is just good, Athena is a good one too because deflecting is nice, another important thing for Rama is hammers, ideally you want Triple Shot or Twin Shot for your first hammer, if not offered you can go for Perfect or Point Blank, and for the second hammer you usually want Perfect or Point Blank (assuming Triple or Twin first) but the order can be the other way here, if you get Perfect Shot as first hammer then it's fine too, hammers to avoid are Sniper shot (blocks Twins shot) and also doesnt do anything, and Repulse shot, Explosive is a bit of an odd one, it's nice in some scenarios but hard to play, Chain shot is okay, wont do much in bosses. Rama is difficult and needs practice but it's really good when it comes to heat especially, it's a good idea to watch vods of people who are good at it and try to implement their movement and decision making in your runs

#

thanks MiKE

latent moon
#

i sent it to the wrong channel lmao

#

if you want to watch someone else play rama here's ocmal's 5:26

#

Update: As of January 3rd, 2022 Croven took back WR with his awesome 5:16 Hera run: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2HEOx1bkag

I'm happy to have pushed Rama this far at this level so if I go back to any-heat I'll probably use an aspect that has a better styx+hades segment.

Overall unseeded/unmodded world record as of December 29th, 2021.

Woo

upper wolf
#

bruuuh what how did they get sub 6 without hermes x)

#

Although I'm not sure if hyper delivery still works on a powershot with twin shot

#

on rama

#

That's a pretty long time, and hyper sprint is only for 0.5-0.7 seconds

raw herald
#

Dash after shooting gets the buff

upper wolf
#

ah, TIL

#

thank you for the info

#

so yeah, that run would probably have been faster with RD then ?

raw herald
#

Yeah def

latent moon
raw herald
#

Beo world record is just +2 dashes

#

No rd

upper wolf
#

ngl I kinda hope Hades 2 will be a bit more balanced when it comes to aspects. Well, that and hammers. The rest is pretty ok

raw herald
#

The game is incredibly balanced for a casual experience

upper wolf
#

oh, 100%

raw herald
#

No aspect really struggles to beat 40 heat

#

It’s just above that

#

And when you try go fast

upper wolf
#

yeah, I guess what I really wish would be more diversity in speedrunning

#

But tbh there are enough categories for that

#

It's kinda just a skill issue on my part lmao

plush ferry
#

ppl use the best tools for the job

upper wolf
#

I mean, yeah, but even then there are categories like OwO that makes everything ran

raw herald
#

All aspects lol

plush ferry
upper wolf
#

Well, that too, but I feel like OwO is a much better duration, all aspects is looong

plush ferry
#

i have a rather basic question - what is the sword dps rotation without any boons

upper wolf
#

dash-strike dash-strike special

#

well, mainly dash-strike

#

just some filler when you wait for your dash to refresh

plush ferry
#

ic

spiral dawn
#

I switched from the Nintendo Switch to the PS5... and... maybe its me... but are duo god boss rooms different on the ps5? If I remember correct on the switch I always saw the 2 gods, but on the ps5 I only see 1 boss with a boss-skull.

hardy spear
#

those are two different things

spiral dawn
#

Huhhhh

#

oh i see what you mean

hardy spear
#

i think you're talking about trial rooms first and then miniboss rooms

spiral dawn
#

not duo boon, sorry, 2 boons!

raw herald
#

Trial rooms exist on ps5

plush ferry
#

boon with boss skull = miniboss
trial room = 2 boons

spiral dawn
#

yeah but when I get a trial room, it shows up at the door at 1 god with a skull

plush ferry
#

unless youre saying the miniboss symbol is leading to a trial room

raw herald
#

Do you have a video?

hardy spear
#

wait so you went through a door that had one boon symbol and in the room there was two boons?

spiral dawn
#

ehh no... I just remember when on the Nintendo it shows just both gods icons on the door, but on the ps5 its 1 god with skull

spiral dawn
hardy spear
#

weird

#

thats not supposed to happen

spiral dawn
#

oh really? I was like... maybe its a ps5 thing lol

hardy spear
#

it shouldve given you a miniboss instead

spiral dawn
#

yeah i know that!

#

but i got several times now that it gives me just 2 gods

raw herald
#

Make a video if it happens again

spiral dawn
#

it it called trial room?

plush ferry
#

the one with two gods is called a trial room ye

spiral dawn
#

okay thanks!

#

So yeah, i got several trial rooms that showed up as 1 god with a skull on the door 🙂

gray lion
#

so there's quite a bit more to do after the credits roll right?

#

i know of at least a bit that i havent done

untold crown
#

was messing around with mods and noticed that there's still stuff like "minos-pc-version" in the game's files

#

probably already known, but they must have gotten fairly into it before deciding on Hades instead

#

imagine theseus as the protag tho

#

trying to imagine what it would have been like. theseus played straight personality-wise and doing... what? fighting through the labyrinth? I think I remember them saying part of the reason they changed it up is bc they couldn't make theseus really shine as a protagonist

#

but man he's great as a narcissistic antagonist

upper wolf
#

I imagine the Theseus of that game would be nothing like the one we got in Hades

upper wolf
#

I mean, so are Sisyphus, Megaera, Nyx, Cerberus...

stone rune
#

aph atk

latent moon
#

Shackle lmao

stone rune
#

thats a build

latent moon
#

Aphro atk and just pick whatever duo comes first

#

Smair, rend, or reversal

#

Standard 40 pact

#

Yeah

#

Ap1

#

Or like some combo of cf and js

#

Simply don't suck idk

upper tundra
#

hades has reset my run three times for three different reasons grahhhhhj

latent moon
#

Prob always atk because dps kinda important

#

Or just reset for not common lmao

#

Always

#

UC fodder lmao

#

But also doom special isn't that bad if it's got rarity

#

It's also UC fodder anyways lmao

#

It'll fall off in ely without poms probably but it's still decent dps

#

Time them better idk

#

I used to spam click a lot even to dash strike on sword

#

I learned to time it better so I'd do less of that lmao

#

Free scaling

drowsy linden
#

why must beo be so impossible to get
i want to try out lucifer, but i also want to get beo

latent moon
#

it do be like that

coarse tapir
#

What's the best trippy shot aspect?

#

Hera?

latent moon
#

beowulf

#

hera and beo both have a mirage bug for it, but beo also has a pom bug on it lmao

stone rune
#

beo also has better kit while u get stones

#

turns out bad zagbow with no twin isn’t that good

hardy spear
#

what happens with underworld customs if you have no boons

#

Heya

stray shard
#

After 60 hours i just now realised aspect of beowulf's bull rush is slower 🙏

untold crown
#

you can get a hammer which fixes that but it's not really needed

#

especially if charged shot appears instead

tepid plover
#

TIL troves have a minimum reward, note to self never do a trove with 41% more enemies from chaos

grizzled current
#

LMAO

#

I love doing the %extra enemies with the Benefits Package, and it's all skulls who give themselves invincibility

#

And there's 23 of them sitting in a pile spamming invincibility and you end up dying from TD -__-

untold crown
#

those are so fun to pop though if you have the right weapon for it

grizzled current
#

So if I restart a run, and don't take the Daedalus hammer, next time it shows up will it have the same options?

#

Like if I take a different door, ignoring the hammer entirely, next time it's offered as a reward, will it have the same options

untold crown
#

i don't think so

grizzled current
#

I was using ||Guan Yu|| and the hammer choices were so horrendous

buoyant harbor
#

If you restart a run, you also lose your progress though. It's generally recommended to die and start a new run instead of giving up. That is, unless you wanna run seeded challenge / speedruns.

grizzled current
#

I see.

#

Would've been easy too, with the aspect I was using

#

Or I could've sucked it up and tried my best instead of being a little wimp

buoyant harbor
#

You also get some amount of story progress by simply attempting a run and dying.

#

(Unless you've already seen all of the story that you have the prerequisites for so far)

stone rune
#

flurry fire:

grizzled current
#

Triple hit on dash, attack has bonus range, attack does bonus to armor

stone rune
#

breaching skewer is fine

grizzled current
#

Those were my choices

stone rune
#

just take breaching

grizzled current
#

Yeah I didn't feel like picking up any of them in tart

#

I have more clears with Stygius than rail

#

Idek what you mean "rail spoils you"

#

I see.

#

Like I said, perhaps I should've just suffered through the bad choices but too late for that

#

They are bad choices given that every other hammer is better

stone rune
#

breaching is good

grizzled current
#

Breaching is good if you get charged first

stone rune
#

its still fine

stiff obsidian
#

my friend says rail sucks because it doesnt stagger

stone rune
#

🗿

#

rail stagger would be a downside lol

stiff obsidian
#

why stagger when you can kill

#

they just got their first clear tho

#

a day ago

#

i think ill share it because its funny

#

they said they used the ares/aphro duo to carry them

#

i thought 16 is just 0 with td3

#

oh

stone rune
#

flurry jab

#

ez win

#

olympian favor moment

stiff obsidian
#

nah they said they specialled, dashed, and timed out the doom

#

and hid

My first clear was with the rail, hazard shot and 3 bonus special dmg rolls from Chaos

Lol sounds like a party

what about asterius

stone crane
#

Idk if they normally do but the witches balls have shields (can still be deflected still but not shot)
I think that's cause of MM but not 100% sure

hardy spear
#

probably

stone crane
#

Or is that default?

hardy spear
#

i don't think so

mint coral
#

Yeah that's mm

stone crane
#

"Extra armoured foe or some additional problem"

Similar to the Crusher and Megagorgon in Asphodel getting the wave when it lands instead of an extra foe

witches mm is the least impactful thing ever invented though

it still takes precisely 6 seconds

stone crane
hardy spear
#

does asterius miniboss have any changes

Not that I can think of but that is kind of more a boss fight than a miniboss
As it is affected by EM3 instead

only thing I had for me was the +136% herois lvl 3-4 demeter strike

that run made me wonder though, how does erebus and chaos curses interact ? Do I get the +40% enemies in erebus ?

mint coral
#

I'm gonna got with yes

#

Standard is probably non bosses

fresh notch
#

Has anybody tried flurry shot on hestia?

stone rune
#

??

#

you cant get flurry shot on hestia

#

thats a bow hammer

fresh notch
#

Meant hera 🗿

#

The Hs throw me off

stone rune
#

yea flurry shot is best hera hammer

plush ferry
#

can hera get twin?

fresh notch
#

Never tied with than before, didn't think he just gave you the heart

#

And yes it can

plush ferry
#

awesome

fresh notch
#

I'm screaming

#

2nd hammer and my options are twin shot, piercing volley and relentless volley

stone rune
stone rune
#

hera is eligible for all bow hammers

plush ferry
#

are my instincts right that bow special is like always bad

stone rune
#

yes

#

unless ur on rama

fresh notch
stone rune
#

then it’s ok for crowd control

#

and stuff

#

and ofc shared suffering

fresh notch
#

I'm running hera with Artemis cast cause funny

stone rune
#

moyai

fresh notch
#

If the casts crit it hurts

#

And I got greater recall shadesmile

latent moon
#

big if on that 10% chance lmao

fresh notch
latent moon
#

this just looks like crush shot damage but with rng lmao

#

5 casts def helping out

fresh notch
#

Truly, I'ma do a crush shot run next

#

Might do doom on special

latent moon
#

why would you use the special

fresh notch
#

I used it on the last build

#

I got a dumber idea

#

I'ma go vengeful mood

#

Actually I should try that on malphon nvm

latent moon
#

all your damage is coming out of your cast, the special will just slow you down and will probably get you killed more often than deal damage

#

standing in place for a long animation isn't great

fresh notch
#

I just used it to apply week tbh

#

It helped

latent moon
#

eh

fresh notch
#

Got a handful of like 10 second room clears with it

latent moon
#

you probably got hit because you used it tbh lmao

#

the special isn't doing anything for the 10 sec room clears

#

unless you point blank it but the special itself is unironically like 2 seconds lmao

fresh notch
#

Wasn't exactly 10 seconds but it wasn't long either

latent moon
#

my point still stands lmao

fresh notch
#

I should use Chiron one day

latent moon
#

you have to point blank the special for 90 damage on hera which is less than 2 casts worth of damage, not inluding the attack damage lmao

latent moon
stone rune
latent moon
#

if that's the case then it's not helping to room clear for your low room clear time lmao

fresh notch
#

My actual bow shots were flying and then the casts were still seeking which I did not expect so I figured spread out weak and getting heartrend would be good

#

It did it's job cause I only lost a death defiance to that damned bull

#

Then I got sniped by a saw in styx

latent moon
#

hightened security moment

#

125 saw blades are fun

fresh notch
#

It's just there so I don't have to put anything else into hard labor

#

Em4 Theseus and asterus gonna make me lose my mind

#

Love common crush shot 🥲

latent moon
#

ngl taking a point in hard labor wouldn't have lost you the DD lmao

latent moon
#

poms are gonna give you more value out of it

fresh notch
#

Sometimes I have faith in myself and sometimes I don't

#

I unironically get hit less using malphon than I do with the bow

latent moon
#

"just dont hit the trap" is a great philosophy and all until you get 1 tapped by a pot for 150 damage

fresh notch
#

Melee is my preferred manner of combat in any game

latent moon
#

fair

latent moon
fresh notch
#

Oh those

latent moon
#

30 base, times 5 is 150

fresh notch
#

I hit those before they hit me

latent moon
#

i mean mistakes happen lmao

#

i lost a 50 heat run because of a pot

fresh notch
#

Do I just take aphro on attack too

latent moon
#

you can yeah

#

no harm in that

fresh notch
#

d a m a g e

latent moon
#

any % besides poseidon works fine for the attack

fresh notch
#

Poseidon on rail special is fun

#

Speak of the devil there he is

#

Taking him cause privileged status

latent moon
#

pstatus cursed

#

if you really must then take his dash

#

it'll screw up line ups a bit but it'll be a lot more reliable and better than the special

fresh notch
#

It's mfing common

latent moon
#

rarity really isn't a big deal unless it's chaos or hermes lmao

#

or doom

fresh notch
stone rune
#

this 40 grind is killing me

fresh notch
#

But big numbers

latent moon
#

well tdash on rail is better than the special anyways lmao

stone rune
#

they literally give the armored wave makers infinite hp

fresh notch
#

This is true

latent moon
fresh notch
stone rune
#

well i feel an obligation

latent moon
#

to sub6?

stone rune
#

yea

latent moon
#

i mean dont wear yourself out for it

#

you already have the wr lmao

#

(verification pending but probably will be verified)

fresh notch
#

I wanna try and get my fastest time but idk what weapon to use

latent moon
#

hera

stone rune
#

if i don’t push it zyru just gonna beat me

latent moon
#

is zyru grinding it

#

is he gonna pull a croven

stone rune
#

he was yesterday at least

latent moon
#

oh lmao

stone rune
#

he played more than me

latent moon
#

tbf you stole it from him in less than like 12 hours lmao

stone rune
#

i got wr out of a 30 min session🗿

latent moon
#

it do be like that sometimes

#

i mean you both are good players lmao

stone rune
#

well

latent moon
#

rng happens

#

sometimes you get a good seed sometimes you get something okay

#

or bad

stone rune
#

i think there’s a few orders of magnitude difference

latent moon
#

eh

fresh notch
stone rune
#

he has sub5

#

and 60 heat hestia

#

and all aspects 50

#

and all aspects subsomething 32 and 40

latent moon
#

my point quite literally still stands

stone rune
#

i have mid beo one trick

latent moon
#

that doesn't mean much lmao

#

you're still better than like at least 95% of the player base on other aspects if you feel like playing them

fresh notch
#

Jazz idk you but just

#

Enjoy the game

#

If you're already good at it then don't stress yourself out over it

#

Truly not worth it

latent moon
stone rune
#

there are like at least like 40 people better than me

#

probably more

latent moon
gray apex
#

name them

#

🗿

fresh notch
#

And that's ok

latent moon
#

#24 run is like probably top 15 people lmao

stone rune
#

well like

fresh notch
#

There's always gonna be people better than you sometimes as long as you hit your personal best then it's fine

stone rune
#

there are people below me in time who are better

#

like cherry is way better than me

latent moon
#

i dont think he's sub6ed beo

stone rune
#

yea but 6:11 gilga is literally sub5

latent moon
#

that's false equivalence lmao

#

also we're on the point of you calling yourself a mid beo player

#

cherry's gilga runs aren't really relevant

stone rune
#

idk man

#

im happy with where i’m at

fresh notch
#

Do I take the Hermes in the last shop in Tartarus for quick reload or wait till Asphodel?

stone rune
#

take

latent moon
#

yeah take

latent moon
fresh notch
#

Ice grandma on attack it is

#

No quick reload 🥲

stone rune
fresh notch
#

Jazz what's your highest heat and how long you been playing

stone rune
#

54

#

and like 9 months

latent moon
#

dont you have like

#

700 hours

stone rune
#

yea

fresh notch
#

Mine is 8 and I've had the game for a year now

latent moon
#

yeah i've had the game for a couple years now and i'm close to 600 lmao

fresh notch
#

You're good at the game

stone rune
#

i could go higher on heat but i don’t play it that much

#

boring

latent moon
#

based

#

all my homies hate ap

stone rune
#

and also i don’t wanna do em4

latent moon
fresh notch
#

Man

#

High heat is boring cause I don't wanna sell anything that makes me do damage

#

I'ma do 32 and that's it

latent moon
#

the fun part is that not all boons do meaningful damage

stone rune
#

lemme cook up a 50 uc0 pact

#

hold on

latent moon
#

and you're likely to pick up fodder (as long as you run dark foresight)

fresh notch
#

Only 145 hours

#

Or more

#

According to my switch

latent moon
#

that's pretty good

#

what heat are you at rn?

fresh notch
#

8 on bow

#

5 on fists

latent moon
#

i've seen players jump to 32 heat from there you can do it

fresh notch
#

LMFAO I do not use aegis

latent moon
#

based

fresh notch
latent moon
#

no hell mode tho?

fresh notch
#

Yeah ummm I'm 2 heat on ages

fresh notch
#

What happens if you skip heat

stone rune
#

i wonder if anyone has written a 32 heat guide

latent moon
fresh notch
#

Like if I went into the game with something at 32 heat and I haven't beat 31 heat before

latent moon
#

bounties go up to 20

fresh notch
#

So I can just jump into em4 like an idiot

latent moon
#

and if you're on heat 8 for bow rn, finishing a 32 heat run will clear your 8 heat bounty and it'll go up to 9

latent moon
fresh notch
#

Bit of suffering never hurt anybody

latent moon
#

true

stone rune
#

people on reddit yelling at someone who said to take delta chamber

#

i did a vod review for one of them 🗿

latent moon
#

what lmao

#

i thought people hated the reload mechanic why would anyone be upset about delta chamber

#

guess it depends on what the other options are i suppose

fresh notch
#

Reload keep you on your toes

latent moon
#

reload gives you time to special too lmao

fresh notch
#

Rail is such a polarizing weapon to me

#

At first I was like "yooo there's a gun"

#

And now it's like "ah, a gun"

latent moon
#

rail sucks when you dont build it right unfortunately

#

so it can lead to a lot of bad experiences and people just never use it again lmao

fresh notch
#

Lucifer is garage cause it doesn't destroy bullets imo

#

Every other weapon aspect functions the same in that way and Lucifer is the odd one out for no reason

#

Like wouldn't all consuming hellfire destroy magic orbs or arrows??

stone rune
latent moon
stone rune
#

a tiny difference

latent moon
#

but also not being able to destroy the projectiles isn't that big of a deal

#

it's only witch projectiles right?

fresh notch
#

Asphodel

stone rune
#

the only weapon i’ve ever used the attack to destroy projectiles on is fists

fresh notch
#

Hate witches man

#

That room haunts me

latent moon
#

witches circle pog

fresh notch
stone rune
#

that room should always be over in precisely 6 seconds

#

or maybe 10 if you’re using cringespect

fresh notch
#

And they never. stop. Attacking.

#

I guess I just don't use Athena enough

latent moon
fresh notch
#

(she has 2 hearts)

stone rune
#

oh yeah

latent moon
#

and not everyone is aware of the meg line up bouldy

stone rune
#

they should have just gave u summons at start

fresh notch
#

I have summons just don't know how to do the meg line up

stone rune
#

it’s super shrimple

fresh notch
#

Literally missed the big doom stone in Tartarus earlier

#

By like one pixel

#

Is it based on where zag is facing?

stone rune
#

yea

latent moon
#

the doom stone you can just stand on top of it when it's spawning then hit summon

stone rune
#

doom stone shouldn’t be though

#

just dash to its position and meg

latent moon
#

actually might not work without fo2 but you can just stand on top of it and wait

stone rune
#

damn

fresh notch
#

Will take note of this

stone rune
#

when’s the last time u played a run without fo2

fresh notch
#

I prefer fighting sneak anyway

#

Fo2?

latent moon
stone rune
#

you did

#

i got bored

#

and gave up like c8

latent moon
stone rune
#

oh i did that cursed zag shield run

latent moon
fresh notch
#

Doesn't forced overtime remove boons

#

Like you have to sale them

latent moon
fresh notch
#

Thought so

stone rune
#

this was hit less till p3

#

obscene build

latent moon
#

i think that build is eerily close to my 33 chaos

stone rune
#

i did a 40 chaos

fresh notch
#

Lord have mercy I keep forgetting I can't curse in here

stone rune
#

it had pretty barebones build i think

fresh notch
#

Zag aspect on shield looks terrible

latent moon
fresh notch
#

Is bow and fist the only zag good aspects

latent moon
#

bonus 15 base damage goes a long way

latent moon
fresh notch
#

I didn't even think about how the damage was calculated

latent moon
#

the base 15 bonus actually goes a pretty long way for early game

stone rune
#

this was mine

latent moon
#

and even more so if you dont get charged shot

fresh notch
#

What about late game though?

latent moon
#

zag rail is just built as bad eris or spread fire ME so that's based

stone rune
#

it’s base damage

#

but like

#

cshot doesn’t scale to late game

#

your late game is fds

latent moon
#

it really shines more in early game compared to late game

stone rune
#

the early game still exists

latent moon
#

granted non-beo shields kinda just suck or are difficult for speed lmao

stone rune
#

zeus slowest shield 🗿

fresh notch
#

What's base ammo on rail

latent moon
#

12

stone rune
#

12

latent moon
#

20 on luci

#

24 max on zag rail?

fresh notch
#

24 ammo and shot gun

stone rune
#

24 yea

latent moon
#

more like sniper

fresh notch
#

With attack speed up

stone rune
#

zagrail bonus only matters on spread fire tho

fresh notch
#

Shotgun sound is satisfying though

latent moon
#

if you want shotgun, get spread fire on zag rail

stone rune
#

same way eternal chamber doesn’t do anything

fresh notch
#

I actually got it for the first time today

#

Literally did not know it existed before this

#

Idk how cause I'm on 6 heat with rail

latent moon
#

it's certainly a hammer of all time

stone rune
#

it is possibly the least do anything hammer ever invented

fresh notch
#

Spread fire aka Texas hammer

stone rune
#

i think it actually beats out hoarding slash

fresh notch
#

They probably just wanted a shotgun in the game

#

Hoarding slash seems like it's a reference to somet

#

Something*

latent moon
#

i mean spread fire sucks unless you're on zag rail
at least hoarding slash is just a net neutral across the board

stone rune
#

spread fire eris is funny

latent moon
#

def

stone rune
#

when u think about it

latent moon
#

cursed but funny

stone rune
#

it’s basically cooler fists

fresh notch
#

Is eris worth my blood

#

I used it once and said never again

stone rune
#

it’s one of the best aspects in the game

latent moon
#

like i said, a bad build on rail makes people want to never play it again lmao

fresh notch
#

Was last year

latent moon
#

there's like only 1 good build on non-hestia rail and it's pretty universal

fresh notch
#

So we will try again

#

I'm putting Artemis on everything

latent moon
#

yeah that's why it sucked

fresh notch
#

Nah this time

latent moon
#

critting on a base 10 bullet for 30 damage hell yeah

fresh notch
#

Would she be better on just attack

latent moon
#

artemis would be best on the special

#

assuming it's eris

#

actually for every rail

fresh notch
#

Will try that then

latent moon
#

you need zeus attack

#

that'll make non-hestia rails feel useful

#

zeus attack, find static discharge and maybe get the legendary if you find enough zeus boons

#

artemis or aphrodite special

#

get tidal dash

#

rocket bomb is your best hammer

#

cluster is best secondary after that

#

triple isn't bad for cope

fresh notch
latent moon
#

delta chamber and flurry fire are the only useful attack hammers

fresh notch
#

Actually use this btw

latent moon
#

is that the bigger pulse hammer

fresh notch
#

It is

latent moon
#

that just sounds slow and too much effort lmao

fresh notch
#

Had discharge and Zeus and Demeter duo

latent moon
#

the special itself is gonna do more damage when it pops

fresh notch
#

Those random lightning strikes have actually saved my hide

#

Lighting rods go brrrr

#

Wanna do another "storm caller" build like that again but i don't remember what weapon I did it on

stone rune
#

i think i figured out why i get worse results as sessions go on too long

#

i start resetting stuff i dont need to cause i don’t feel like playing it

#

like armored thug c3 or something

#

when it’s not actually ruining th pace or anything

#

like when i was playing hestia and my early beo i would reset whenever i made any tiny mistake in the first few chambers and that resulted in my first sub6 taking like ages

#

so yea

#

reset less

#

although i think for earlier parts of session my reset points are very sane

#

i managed a sub3 aspho exit and 2 30x today which is pretty good i think

#

so hopefully we pull the sheet soon

latent moon
#

big gamer

#

resetting less is good tho

#

just seeing where the time ends up is a better indicator apart from c1 super armor lmao

#

also tart mirage is always a thing

wispy sinew
#

Finally beat the game!

stray shard
#

Now do it 9 more times 🙏

wispy sinew
#

Is that one of the missions?

jagged hamlet
#

Yep! Story keeps happening

wispy sinew
#

Ok I intend on maxing out all the weapons,relationships,and mirror anyway. So the story never ends?

jagged hamlet
#

It'll eventually end, but oh my goodness you have a lot ahead of you

#

I hope you have better luck with Megeara than I: I'm at 130 runs, and she won't give me the time of day 😢

wispy sinew
#

For companion?

#

Or her relationship in general?

jagged hamlet
#

Just in general, though getting her companion would be quite nice. It's the last one I need

I been trying to get also but I yavnt vs Meg in forever only tisiphone

lets u make sure u get the power shot off

ooh

dont force athena for call

you still have garb call charge

just use twin

why doesn't the narrator give you a keepsake smh

also does beo need beaver

most useless thing

thanks

stone rune

because your flare doesnt do kb

and it also has massive aoe through walls

so styx is not an issue

i accidentally sold flare

stone rune

i would try not doing that imo

royal widget

what an idea

signal aspen

its like 2 inches

stone rune

does it even proc beaver

signal aspen

probably

#

it procs sea storm

no it doesn’t

it only does with codex mod

kinetic launcher on demeter with aphro is sick

hmm dont know about that, about the numbers that is. I was able to do almost 1500 with lvl 10 special

hmm cool cool

im doing another run lets see

untold crown
#

regular dad fight is easier to me now than theseus

latent moon
rustic thicket
#

I think kinetic launcher was dealling more dmg

stone rune
#

no kin launcher is good

#

idk where u get that idea from

#

pretty sure it’s lap or alena choice 2nd hammer on hyper

#

always a take if eupper isn’t there

rustic thicket
stone rune
#

its either second best or best fists special hammer

#

depending who u ask

rustic thicket
#

cool cool

latent moon
#

Is explosive not better

rustic thicket
#

I've had eUpper before but I think I enjoyed kLauncher more

stone rune
#

but kin launcher comes out a lot faster

latent moon
#

True

rustic thicket
latent moon
#

Well explosive doubles your damage

rustic thicket
#

haven't played this game that much

latent moon
#

Kinetic adds 10 and a power shot

stone rune
#

its additive tho

rustic thicket
#

hmm

stone rune
#

kin increase is base

latent moon
#

I mean still

stone rune
#

and on fists you have between 60 and 120 of add on spec already

latent moon
#

Explosive will still do more damage lmao

stone rune
#

well yea

#

but the other advantage of kin launcher is speed

#

but also kin launcher gives u +50% on power shot if u wanna do that

rustic thicket
#

i don't think I ever used kLauncher outside of the previous run cuz I used to choose eUpper

#

it wwas my frst time trying it

#

eUpper and long knuckles those were my go to

#

long knuckles adds a bit of safety

is there a list somewhere of pommable boons?
