its just some amounts of enforced timeloss

#

40 on the other hand is soul crushing

latent moon
#

i mean i've been doing 40 on and off for a while lmao

signal aspen
#

32 speedruns are honestly better than anyheat in unmodded

latent moon
#

faster resets šŸ’Ŗ

#

maybe i'll give 32 runs a chance

#

it's just anyheat except it hurts more

signal aspen
#

i still think about how that run couldve been faster

stone rune
#

there is nothing good about unmodded speed

signal aspen
#

cus i got like bullmaned barged castbugged and double darknessed

latent moon

sub6able tbh

signal aspen
#

latent moon
#

lmao based

signal aspen
#

can i submit 32 heat runs in anyheat

#

its anyheat right

latent moon
#

technically yeah

signal aspen
#

or do 32 heat runs go in 32

latent moon
#

idk you'll have to ask the verifiers lmao

#

just do like

#

31 heat

#

so it can only go into anyheat

signal aspen

Sorry to bring the discussion back to Zagreus versus Pit, but I thought about it more and we do have a reference for what a ground vs Power of Flight battle would be like. There’s a boss battle against Dark Pit where he uses the ability mid-fight. In it the screen-clearing special attacks only fill up specific zones, meaning they’re dodgeable. Plus, Pit can’t naturally control his flight path, so he would probably be stuck hovering not too far away from Zag with limited strafing. Basically, no sniping from the sky. As for Zag being able to beat Hades without boons, I don’t think it means much for powerscaling since I’m certain Pit could do the same thing to Zag’s Hades, it’s just the KIU Hades is much more powerful.

#

Actually, is there any specific lore or mythology behind the armor that Theseus and the Minotaur wear? Because if it’s a close parallel to Pit’s Three Sacred Treasures, that could heavily tip the scales in Zag’s favor.

No mommy for hades ?😭

#

Hey Fellas. I am in need of help šŸ¤” I m timing my fresh file run (finally a new PB) and I am lost. Do I count the time the exact moment REDACTED falls to his knees or when the HP bar dissapier?

#

hopefully this channel is the correct one to ask I forgot been a while since I was here.

mossy berry
#

Trying to unlock ||Beo|| and ||Luci|| aspects, but even after 5 runs seeing both Zeus and Chaos each time, neither gives me the necessary quote...
I got 4 blood invested in Zeus aspect and 1 in Zag shield, and 6 blood in Eris.
||Guan Yu|| is revealed but not unlocked.
What am I missing?

velvet gale
#

Have you invested blood into others aspects of these weapons?

mossy berry
#

No

velvet gale
#

I believe you need to || reveal Guan Yu||and || invest 5 blood into the aspects of weapons which hidden aspects you are trying to unlock||.

mossy berry
#

So I need to invest a total of 5 blood across ALL 3 aspects?

velvet gale
#

I believe so, but its been a while since I was unlocking I was ....kinda closed with fresh file for a while.

4 Zeus and 1 Zag

raw herald
#

Do you have autosplitter

velvet gale
#

I was looking on timer and dying to spin to win so I started runnin withnout it so no autosplitter šŸ¤”.

raw herald

It’ll be the exact same frame as when the igt stops

#

Yeah ik

But you’ll stop the real time at the same time as the igt timer stops

stiff obsidian
#

can you dash strike with flurry shot

vale moss
#

i think so?

#

but still don’t take hdash or anything with it

stiff obsidian
#

so like dashing would make the next shot do less damage ?

mint coral
#

Yeah

#

And any dash strike buff would be added

soft veldt
#

You guys do with this funny clip as you will

grizzled summit
#

so i seen there was a Hades 2 Technical test apparently..

#

intersting

#

wonder how we gonna get access to that

drowsy linden
#

i want trippy with beo, right?

rose roost
#

trippy has more dmg potential iirc

#

bcuz of pom glitch

#

but flood fare is the best cast

#

for beo

coral kite
#

funny about Hades it’s about the son escaping from his family’s home

#

Usually it’s the dad

#

Imagine if Hades was about Hades escaping the underworld to ā€œget milkā€

latent moon
#

trippy needs chaos rng to work well

drowsy linden
#

got a heroic heartbreakbouldy

wary iron
#

I just had the perfect run, it was the highest heat and quickest yet, but obviously I had to find the sack I’m the last room, and I lost all my dd in process…

drowsy linden
#

is it better to load all stones or just 1 at a time to get dragon rush

stiff obsidian
#

if you stack inferno bomb chaos curses do they throw 2 of them when they die

#

Cutest things in Hades: Dusa, everything Artemis says (even when she's angry), and how Zag lamely riffs off of Than's lines during Than encounters

#

Oh! And Cerberus, ofc

#

Oops corrected. I get their names mixed up

sick mortar
#

question

#

does Charon's membership card count as a god boon?

#

im trying to do a boonless run and i... got his card

jagged hamlet
#

If it's not purgeable (I don't think it is), it shouldn't count against you

sick mortar
#

same for the 2.5% bonus damage per god boon mirror perk

jagged hamlet
#

Mirror perks aren't counted as boons

raw herald
#

I’m 99% sure it’s not

#

Well items appear in the boon screen too and they don’t count

sick mortar
#

i meant

raw herald
#

Same with dark thirst

sick mortar
#

would i get more bonus damage from the damage-per-different-god mirror perk

#

if i get charon's card?

gray apex
#

No

jagged hamlet
#

Among the better aspects for IGT, which have lower APM?

stone rune

beo\

#

and rama ig

jagged hamlet
#

Even accounting for mashing Cast?

stone rune
#

u dont really need to mash

#

mashign loses time cause of cast bug

jagged hamlet
#

Oh interesting. Wasn't aware of bugs with casts. Will have to look at the big sheet of Hades bugs

#

Thanks!

stone rune
#

that one is

#

if u mash in a speicifc wya

you wont be able to interact until u pick up a stone

does rocket bomb not follow cursor???

it should

stiff obsidian

it doesnt

#

all the other specials do

latent moon
#

i've never had a problem with it

stiff obsidian
#

i have attack at cursor off

latent moon
#

i dont think anyways

stiff obsidian
#

it just shoots in whatever direction zag is facing

latent moon
#

idk i haven't played a lot of rail recently but from memory it should follow cursor still

stiff obsidian
#

oh nvm

#

idk it buggy sometimes

latent moon
#

maybe because enemies weren't nearby? idk

stone rune
#

itll go vaguely wasd

stiff obsidian
#

in empty room it followed cursor

stone rune
#

when enemies r there

#

itll auto lock

It's pretty good to get no core boons like that. Nice job.

im pretty sure there are easier ways to do 32

Just tried Hera + Phalanx shot. Really Fun! Went all in on the chonky hits, got twin and explosive hammers, some big numbers..

#

i used to just take my time on runs, dun rush through things

light glen
#

My best is around 24 minutes but much lower heat.

#

My hands were cramping after that one. LOL

#

A tip for my fellow speedrunners, Grab greater haste (Hermes boon) and Ignitited Ichor (Well of Charon) whenever you see them.

latent moon
#

hyper sprint better

#

hyper sprint -> rush delivery -> ichors -> nyoom and deletion

Hyper sprint always threw me into danger when I used it.

We might literally be opposites, jazz

I think it's neat that people are increasing their heat in wildly different ways. I've never been one to speedrun but Tight Deadline seemed like free real estate and I've been enjoying going at a faster pace.

stone rune
#

that it is

#

up till a certain point

light glen
#

The first level is doable. 3rd is barely possible in my experience.

jagged hamlet
#

Slowrun tips: fish every fish, loot every trove, look for golf urns every room, take every Styx tunnel to enjoy your build for longer

stone rune
latent moon
#

for td3 at least

#

and like basic speedrun strats

#

but it's not too important compared to build

stone rune
#

that’s u

#

most of my 50 runs are 13/14 min

light glen
#

Imagine TD3 with maxed out jury summons too. Oh boy!

I'll be happy if I can get to 20 heat.

my sister was watching my run and misread the furies as the furries

js1 cp1 you can still sub10

#

at 50

light glen
#

Depends on what conditions you add.

stone rune
#

i mean

#

even the worst possible 20 pact wouldnt be too bad

#

ri4 ap2 is 13

so you cant even fit em4 in there

i did 62 heat cf0

#

ask my buddy eric

#

ok

no td

no fo

#

pretty free

#

why would you do that

#

hold m1 for a little while

#

its not good

#

but its not that bad

jagged hamlet
#

Please excuse some of the bad miniboss fights shadeembarassed

stone rune
#

u often aren’t adjusting the second dash strikes direction

#

so it just goes to nowhere

#

if u wanna check out other nem controller players look at

#

croven cgull alena tounis

#

if ur really digging deep nuhai

jagged hamlet
#

Thanks! I might have similar issues with other aspects since I'm stuck around 10 min

jagged hamlet
#

Are they friendly?

stone rune
#

this community is the most welcoming i know

#

everyone is nice

#

i’m probably the least nice active member there

latent moon
#

i'm less active than you for sure lmao

#

but community is nice yeah

#

as long as you arent an ass then youll be treated with respect

#

like the dude who came in using discord messages as proof of angel's run being weird

#

wasn't even the fact that she didn't do it, was just the fact that she had already done it and had decided to upload it then or something lmao

jagged hamlet
#

I guess I can start with the issue of missing strikes, then go from there. Still unsure what's happening with aspects like Zagbow which are much easier to aim, but maybe I'm whiffing there too hm

#

Interesting! cgull's dashes are a good bit slower and more deliberate than mine. Maybe I'm flailing a bit with faster weapons

stone rune
jagged hamlet
#

Ooh interesting. Plus I think I'm not actually landing a lot of the specials which I don't cancel since I start from very far away to get both my dash-strikes in

#

I think I have a first room hammer in my current seed, so I'll have to see if I can't get some improvements in

#

Thanks again!

#

First Nemesis, then the woooorld

#

I guess I should beat up Skelly a whole bunch first

stone rune
#

also

#

use infernal

jagged hamlet
#

Stygian Soul my beloved!

#

It's hard for me to keep track of Infernal Soul's loose bloodstones. I'm not exactly student age anymore

short glen
#

Dang I'm 21 and I already can't keep track or aim them

jagged hamlet
#

Ohohoho it only gets worse

short glen
#

That is incredibly distressing

latent moon
#

Or is it just for rod

stone rune
#

huge in tart

latent moon
#

Oh that's for mega optimization

#

What's the goal here

stone rune
#

well in the vid they had eshot start lol

#

sub10 i assume

latent moon
#

If it's sub10 I don't think whatever soul matters tbh

#

Although if you're willing to do a cast start then infernal is gonna be better

stone rune
#

can’t hurt

#

yea

#

it was shackle zeus

latent moon
#

Tbh I'd rather do styian for a sub10 for better Hermes

#

And like not use the cast at all except for boiling blood

stone rune
#

meh

#

it’s still big to use in tart

#

brimstones

#

far away pests

#

lodge against armored thug

latent moon
#

Don't need it for a sub10 just use whatever you want for that imo

stone rune
#

ig

#

ofc it’s mainly gonna be mechanical improvements to bring that time down

latent moon
#

For nem I've mainly just dash striked lmao

stone rune
#

there’s also delayed dash strikes to get them to reach farther

latent moon
#

For sub10 you don't have to optimize like that but you can do that ofc

stone rune
#

which i picked up recently

jagged hamlet
#

If I can get better at Nemesis, surely it'll make me better at everything else

latent moon
#

You'll be better in the sense that you'll get better at figuring out the fastest way to kill enemies lmao

#

It's kinda why speedrunning skills transfer well to heat

#

You just learn to kill things faster

jagged hamlet
#

I see! This is all pretty new to me: I'm bad at video games

latent moon
#

Lmao it do be like that

#

It's partly why I've been able to pick up other aspects somewhat kinda well

#

Or at least decent enough for speedrunning it

stiff obsidian
#

do minibosses count as encounters

formal orbit
#

yes

raw herald
#

For chaos curses it won’t count for an extra foes curse

sour fog
#

I think that one specifies "standard encounters" and yeah minibosses do not count as standard encounter

#

not sure if any other curse has that

stiff obsidian
#

oh yea thats the one

drowsy linden

I just havent really focused on to one aspect

sweet cave
leaden belfry
#

The eris gun is just broken lol

#

I was just putting random stuff

sweet cave
#

Pick the second aspect get the rocket hammer and cluster bombs hammer

#

With arti (crit) on special

#

And boom u got 1000-2000 damage every 2 secs

leaden belfry
#

I usrd the other two

sweet cave
#

U can get zeus attack and call or zeus call only with aphro attack for the duo boon

leaden belfry
#

Delta or soemthinf

Or athena attack with posi dash

sweet cave
leaden belfry
#

the other one was dino + aprho combo

sweet cave
leaden belfry
#

yeah but i wanted posi dash

sweet cave
#

U couldbetter attk boons

leaden belfry
#

posi dash is crazy

sweet cave
#

#

Whats posi dash?

I think most dashed u want to go with most of the runs are tidal dash and athena dash

leaden belfry
#

poseidons dash

sweet cave
#

Yeah

leaden belfry
#

tidal

#

yeah

sweet cave
#

Yep

analog elbow
#

I figured we ought to change places since it's not relevant to the topic

#

Do you mean like he trained to be able to dash so that he could escape?

#

I can totally see that happen, but at the same time, based on the quote you shared, it sounds like they had this ability from birth

mint coral
#

No no, like if we encounter zag in the middle of a run like Than in hades 1 or a boss fight/whatever

analog elbow
#

I recall a convo about Than being a handful as a baby because he could tele worlds away

analog elbow
shut ermine
#

Dang

mint coral
#

And instead of the dash from the first game he justs zooms to the other side of the map cuz he hit the gym

analog elbow
#

That would be sick, to have him zip across the world like Than

shut ermine
#

Baby Than got the world in the palm of his hands and he didn’t even know it

#

Personally, if he does appear, my only wish for him is to have some facial hair lmao

What's a decent win rate

#

Like, percentage wise, what's considered good when it comes to beating a run

jagged hamlet
#

At low heat, lots of players can win indefinitely, I think

peak carbon

Yeah šŸ˜”

My win percentage is 30% I'm so annoyed

sweet cave

How many hours u got

peak carbon
#

137

sweet cave

Ohh

I have a bad win rate now i think cuz i got like 40ish runs and won like 12 only i think

peak carbon
#

Yea I'm really gutted at this percent

sweet cave
#

But now im just winning almost every run or reaching hades at least its not that hard

peak carbon
#

I'll just grind low heat runs I guess

#

Meh

#

If u want tips for hades i think just stack death defiance until u get better

#

Its just easy mode

#

If u lose some buy them again for 200

#

And u got an easy hades

#

When i returned i reached hades in 2 attempts i think

first time i played the game in early access i cleared on 29th attempt. 2 years later without playing the game, i started on a fresh file with hellmode on and cleared on 1st attempt with the rail ( as soon as i got it, which is like attempt 9?)

Oh I ignore all that

stone rune
#

theyre stuck in early access

peak carbon
#

I just look at the clips and laugh at the memes

#

I don't try to get into the meta side of the game

peak carbon
mint coral
#

But also it gets tiring talking about "subreddit opinion bad" most of the time so I don't really care

knotty glacier
stone rune
#

and chiron

#

and arthur

peak carbon
stone rune
#

and the worst 32 pacts you've ever seen

peak carbon
#

I personally love Arthur but it is NOT good lmao

sweet cave
knotty glacier
#

šŸ’€ i cleared my first 32 heat with arthur and cursed slash

peak carbon
sweet cave
#

Is the bosses heat that hard?

peak carbon
#

I've been trying to get used to +20% speed but elysium bones me

#

You mean em?

#

Easy

#

Except for em4

knotty glacier
#

EM4 is not exactly too hard until you ramp up speed to +40%

peak carbon
#

Em4 is tuff for me

#

But it isn't impossible

mint coral
#

Em4 fun but you aren't catching me recommending it on pacts

peak carbon
#

He go zoom zoom tho :(

sweet cave
#

I mean im not used to heat yet i found em 4 the easiest

Did the game ever explain why Than is just not affected by the thing that kills Zag for being on the surface for so long? I think it was implied in one line that it would also affect Hades eventually too

ionic hemlock
#

I think it does, but he’s never up there long enough to actually die

#

Remember a line about him saying if he is up there too long he starts feeling sick

wispy sinew
#

So is it just me or is hades not the hardest boss?

whole comet
whole comet
#

Thessus EM3 is probably harder than normal Hades

wispy sinew
whole comet
#

then who's hardest to u?

wispy sinew
#

Charon

whole comet
#

oh yeah, he did hit harder than Hades

wispy sinew
#

I just got the mission about defeating him twice in a row and I'm like damn

stone rune
#

em3 theseus is still free

whole comet
#

i mean as a whole fight lol

stone rune
#

o

#

people usually call that heroes

whole comet
#

Heroes EM3 then

stone rune
#

but yea i think there are scenarios where em3 heroes is harder than non em dad

wispy sinew
#

I still remember figuring out he's a boss. I'm like sweet free gold...

stone rune
#

but non em dad is still harder for me when i’m pushing heat

#

i usually don’t even pop sd in heroes

whole comet
#

quite pact and weapon dependant

#

but man, that Asterius slam aoe XD

wispy sinew
#

How significant is regular to em1? I feel it can't do to much

stone rune
#

em1 is very small changes

#

but basically a free heat

wispy sinew
#

Same with 2?

stone rune
#

em2 is not small changes

#

huge visual difference

#

but for difficulty it’s not that bad

#

lernie is actually faster on em2

whole comet
#

EM3 is where the difference become obvious

wispy sinew
#

Lernie is my favorite boss but he isn't a challenge like at all the witches are harder

stone rune
#

he’s definitely the hardest boss for speedrun

#

takes a lot of mechanical skill to do a fast lernie

#

but it’s also very fun

whole comet
stone rune
#

i used to hate it but now i find it fun

wispy sinew
#

I can see that cuz the extra heads ans sometimes it takes few seconds sometimes for shield

stone rune
latent moon
whole comet
#

also, that's because speedrun don't do EM3+

latent moon
#

so you can sometimes hit like 3 or 4 heads at a time

wispy sinew
#

Well I can't really speak on it without doing it

latent moon
#

i hit like 4 heads last time in a single rama shot

latent moon
#

jazz has been grinding 40 heat speed lmao

wispy sinew
#

@latent moon well that aspect wouldn't be hard but idk if just me lernie sometimes takes few seconds for shield to go away

stone rune
#

it sucks don’t do it

whole comet
#

is it? most people i see go for heat 9 lol

stone rune
#

awful category

latent moon
#

it's genuinely horrible

#

mainly because of ap1

#

like it's not even that difficult to clear (for me and jazz at least)

#

it's just like

#

ap1 cucking you on poms and boons lmao

wispy sinew
#

I gotta do the heat challenge so what is the best heats? Em1,the one about hit shield what else?

latent moon
#

like rail bomb, nem, etc

stone rune
#

don’t play it

latent moon
#

there's literally no other heat point that you can use lmao

#

other than ri1

#

everything else adds time

stone rune
#

50 is a lot less bad because the benchmarks are so much less difficult

#

hl5 lc4 cf1 em3 bp2 mm uc fo2 hs ap1 td3

latent moon
#

combine hl5 fo2 32 heat pact, add hs and drop cf2 to cf1

#

yeah

wispy sinew
latent moon
#

what shield pop

wispy sinew
#

After you kill all the spare heads lernie shield sometimes take a few seconds to go away

#

Atleast for me everytime I vs hin

#

Him*

latent moon
#

oh i mean that's not exclusive to em2

#

that just happens lmao

#

yeah 40 heat speed sucks

#

i did it for a bit because anyheat didn't sound fun at first

#

and i wanted it to be a bit challenging

#

and then i gave up on it lmao

stone rune
#

it’s so bad

latent moon
#

once i got sub10 or something i think

stone rune
#

i’ve been grinding it for like 3 weeks

#

nothing

latent moon
#

came back to it for a bit because hotw was heat speed and got sub9 in the first few tries or something

#

and i dont want to go back

whole comet
latent moon
#

speaking of ap i just remembered this

wispy sinew
#

Best boon for special?

whole comet
#

assuming u use heat40 on this mod

willow swallow
#

I have no time but I really wanna start a second playthrough. 😭

wispy sinew
willow swallow
#

Oh forgot y'all have language rules my bad.

#

I pulled the trigger cuz it's on sale

wispy sinew
willow swallow
#

yeah, I got it on epic ages ago in EA when they had the coupon situation on the original price.

#

So I got the game for like $5 on release.

wispy sinew
#

Ig I'm guna start fresh now too šŸ˜†

willow swallow
#

LOL

#

I think ima just leave it on my TV and just play it little by little.

#

Except for maybe the next couple hours šŸ‘€

wispy sinew
#

I saw some mods and there insane. I originally bought on ps5 but now pc

willow swallow
#

Mods šŸ‘€

wispy sinew
#

Yea man jazz showed me

#

@stone rune whats that YouTube link again for the mod with zues you showed few days ago?

willow swallow
#

Should I try hell mode or is it insane?

wispy sinew
#

I never did it personally but sure an record it

willow swallow
#

Ima hold off I think

wispy sinew
#

I will test how insane it is even tho I didn't upgrade weapons really

whole comet
#

if u plan to do hell mode in future, i recommend u might as well start off hell mode

wispy sinew
# stone rune ?

U sent me link to your video and it had zues mod where he threw it unless that was someone else

stone rune
#

wdym threw

willow swallow
stone rune
#

it forces on a few pact conditions

What are the odds of seeing a god in your pool before your pool is full? Say you've accepted one god. Is every god still 1/8 to be shown or is the god already in your pool more likely? I don't think I see people try to fill their pool faster to bring the odds up to 1/4, so the 1/8 scenario doesn't seem right.

i genuinely believe

#

dusa just does not want to do the bedroom scene

#

i finished her romance stuff like 50 escape attempts prior

#

what am i missing

willow swallow
#

I thought she didn't have one?

i think there is one but it is not the same as meg or than

#

What is one of the easier heat 8? I chose em3 ans 2 of the hit first b4 health ones

stone rune
#

its very difficult

#

id put

#

hard labor 2 extreme measures 2 tight deadline 2

wispy sinew
stone rune
#

acorn is the best defensive keepsake in the game right

wispy sinew
#

Yea

stone rune
#

damage control gives acorn to every enemy

#

it's just really hard to keep up when there are a lot of enemies

wispy sinew
#

Yea 2 hits though am I missing something?

stone rune
#

or even when there are just a few on slower hitting aspects

stone rune
#

it takes 3x the hits to kill each numbskull

wispy sinew
#

I git you I do wana have em3 on to get rid of quest so what else to add then in ur opinion

stone rune
#

id probably do either middle management or underworld customs

wispy sinew
#

Ok thanks I see alot of options but idk the easiest lol I will go wirh those for the first curtain

stone rune
#

it's meant for progressing up to 32 heat

#

but it still is pretty good

wispy sinew
#

Thanks

grim fern
#

How hard is it gonna be to relearn Hades on KBM if I ever feel like being able to aim things?

stone rune
#

you can do fine on either

#

play what you're more comfortable with

wispy sinew
#

Hades on kbm I imagine is so much easier than controller

stone rune
#

nah

#

controller has large advantage on hera

#

and luci is easier on kbm

#

otherwise very equal

grim fern
#

Movement feels a little awkward on KBM. Less omnidirectional and all that.

wispy sinew
#

Are you a kbm or controller player? To me its much more fluid to use kbm than a controller

grim fern
#

This is the only game I've played on a controller. PC gamer since 1994ish.

wispy sinew
#

See me I got the game on ps5 for free ima buy on pc an I will figure out later tomorrow but it just seems I will have an easier time on kbm. Controlling and combos. Let me know how your transition goes rho

#

Tho*

#

Also being able to do everything with my thumb I think will make easier

grim fern
#

I'm fine with using wasd for movement in an FPS game. And fine with mouse movement in an isomertric game (Diablo, etc). But wasd in an isometric game doesn't come naturally. I wonder what the controller/KBM split is among players who have access to both.

latent moon
#

you still have game fundamentals

#

like timing dashes and enemy lineups

#

when i did 1 game on switch after like 450 hours of kbm it wasn't that big of an adjustment for me

grim fern
#

Thanks, but you give me too much credit. I rebound reload to try and make Hestia easier and it melted my brain.

stone rune
#

not rlly

#

unless ur playing without rocket

wispy sinew
#

I beat heat 8. Probably not huge deal but it was kool

#

Also I think I discover one of the worse boons šŸ˜†

stone rune
#

which?

wispy sinew
#

Smoldering air I think that was the name

stone rune
#

actually that one is very good

#

it goes best with zeus and dionysus call

#

try it with zeus

wispy sinew
#

I misread it I didn't know the most you could get was 25% I thought it filled up to 25%

wispy sinew
#

@brisk trail when I read it I thought it said it would charge to 25% then I get rest by fighting to 100%. I was on 2nd bar of hades and was like how is this not full yet

stone rune
#

this run was basically carried by smair

wispy sinew
#

I had Artemis

stone rune
#

oh yeah

#

its gonna be bad with artemis

wispy sinew
#

I chose artemis for my super this time Ig I can see how it be good with zues dionysus

stone rune
#

try it

#

on a heavy hit aspect

#

aphrodite attack zeus call

#

additionally, you get 0.4 seconds of invincibility when u use call

#

so smoldering air gives u that a lot

wispy sinew
#

I will try next time. I also didn't see hades new move what is it?

stone rune
#

did u use extreme measure 4?

wispy sinew
#

3

stone rune
#

he only gets extra on em4

wispy sinew
#

Oh ok

stone rune
#

em3 affects heroes

wispy sinew
#

Lernie had me playing completely different ngl

#

I dash atk alot and it showed me how much more careful I gotta be

stone rune
#

yea u also gotta pay more attention to the main head slams

wispy sinew
#

Yea he slammed me few times cuz they were grouped

stone rune
#

even i die to her sometimes

#

never stops

wispy sinew
#

I do like em though especially at start with sisters was cool they both came in

stone rune
#

??

#

speed or heat

#

heat big head if its slammer small heads if pink

#

speed small heads

wispy sinew
#

What heat do you speed run at?

stone rune
#

well

#

standard heat is 9

#

extreme measures 2 forced overtime 2

#

but i also have speedrun 32 40 and 50

#

i have 2nd place in 32 and 1st place in 40

wispy sinew
#

Did you ever go higher than 50 an speed run?

stone rune
#

nah

#

i only have 1 clear above 50 heat

#

it was 54

wispy sinew
#

Ok what's max with mods? Infinite?

stone rune
#

yeah i guess

wispy sinew
#

Ok send me link to your 40 heat?

jagged hamlet
#

If I hit 3 min before I even hit the last shop in Tartarus, should I just Give Up and try to change RNG?

stone rune
#

i mean

#

sure

#

it is pretty bad pace

#

theyre unmodded

#

playing seeded i believe

#

for hammer

jagged hamlet
#

Because I can't seem to get a grip on Hera. Tartarus is just so, so, so slow esp when I get hordes of numbskulls or witches

#

My latest attempt with a common crush shot start took me 3:41 ugggh

latent moon
#

rarity doesn't matter on hera

#

hera just kinda hard

#

are you kbm?

stone rune
#

no

jagged hamlet
#

I know the rarity doesn't matter. Just mentioning it for detail. Controller

stone rune
#

i can get u a hera vod of mine

#

im not too good at hera

#

so it should be even there

latent moon
#

focusing on grouping and learning break points will help

#

also min charging instead of power shotting

wispy sinew
#

@stone rune that spread sheet you sent me to get heat 16 I put everything in and it's 18 heat how do I drop it 2?

jagged hamlet
#

I'd like to see your VOD, jazz

stone rune
#

its on controller which im very unfamiliar with

wispy sinew
#

Em3,benifet package,middle management,underworld customs,and tight deadline 2

stone rune
#

bp1 or 2

wispy sinew
#

2

stone rune
#

yeah thats it

#

it should be 1

#

and then put hard labor 1

wispy sinew
#

Ok thanks

stone rune
wispy sinew
#

Yea this heat is not happening šŸ˜…

stone rune
#

is there something in particular you're struggling with?

wispy sinew
#

Those bigger guys with clubs absorb my dmg like I'm poking them

stone rune
#

armored thugs are the highest hp enemy in tartarus but that might also be a build issue

#

what build are you doing

jagged hamlet
#

Oh my word Snow Burst is amaaaazing on Hera

#

Go, Majin! Gooo!

stone rune
#

yeah its the primary thing to get after crush shot

wispy sinew
#

I got zues shield and have his atk

latent moon
#

that'd do it

stone rune
#

thats probably the issue

#

you want the special instead

wispy sinew
#

Oh ok I'm at 535 and did 3 rooms ima wipe

jagged hamlet
#

Zeus shield special with a side of Zeus is an electric circular saw

wispy sinew
#

The 7 min timer isn't issue cuz I beat the game under 28 its that dmg lol

#

But thanks for letting me know I always took his atk

jagged hamlet
#

Hermes, why are you literally not giving me Greater Recall like 20 rerolls in

wispy sinew
#

For Arthur what is the thing on the ground? Is it dmg increase while in it?

jagged hamlet
#

It protects you and slows down enemies and projectiles

wispy sinew
jagged hamlet
#

Aphrodite attack, then whatever, really

wispy sinew
#

Ok thanks

jagged hamlet
#

Yes 😦

stone rune
#

don’t go for gr

#

u want either rd or quick reload

latent moon
#

tbf greater recall is probably on 2nd hermes

#

and quick reload is on first already

jagged hamlet
#

I do love my Quick Reload. Doesn't QR lead into GR nicely though?

stone rune
#

not worth rolling for

latent moon
#

i mean if there's nothing else to roll for

stone rune
#

wells

latent moon
#

oh yeah

#

i forgot about that lmao

stone rune
#

there will always be wells to roll

latent moon
#

yeah rolling for greater recall not worth because wells give more damage

jagged hamlet
#

Oh my word I just rerolled into triple explosive shot

latent moon
#

maybe roll once if you have more than 3 rerolls but that's about it

stone rune
#

u never roll second hermes off qr

latent moon
#

okay but what if hyper sprint into styx rd

stone rune
#

i roll midbiome once

#

first ely well i see once

#

second ely well i see if it exists

#

if not then styx midbiome

#

with 3 rolls

latent moon
#

i mean i sometimes dont get any ely wells lmao

#

but yeah

stone rune
#

there’s usually 1

#

u can get pwned tho

latent moon
#

i haven't played anyheat in a while tbf

jagged hamlet
#

I guess it'll be smarter to save rolls for wells as you two have said. That said GR is good QoL, right?

#

jazz, you're really good at hera!

latent moon
#

it's like

#

not something you go out of your way for to find (1% chance to get it) but it's not like you'll skip over it

#

unless it's first hermes i guess since you'd rather have rd

wispy sinew
#

Beat heat 16 was so nervous I couldn't beat hades in time then he's like nah we not guna fight šŸ˜…

jagged hamlet
#

Thanks, Banana! And graaats, Majin!

Coming back to this game after a few years has been fun because I've gotten to ask myself "I wonder if cluster bomb + rocket bomb are good together?" twice now. And (re)discover the answer twice.

#

@brisk trail 32 is next just wana max stuff out first

#

Any easy ways to get ambrosia post games sides quest an runs?

latent moon
#

well that's the only way to get ambrosia lmao

#

fated prophecies and bounties lmao

wispy sinew
#

Dang was hoping could get other ways now

latent moon
#

well after credits the game doesn't exactly change lmao

jagged hamlet
#

And fishing!

latent moon
#

oh yeah fishing

#

fishing and trading up i suppose for ambrosia

wispy sinew
#

Yea I read it's rare getting like that though right?

latent moon
#

but you still have to do runs for all that

#

well you just have to hope for a fish to appear in greece

#

idk the rate for that

#

and then like a 50/50 on a not perfect catch to get it

jagged hamlet
#

Or 50/50 on a perfect catch. 20% Greece rate, I think

wispy sinew
#

Ok I could have swore someone told me there be easier way after credits šŸ˜…

latent moon
#

oh yeah 50/50 on perfect catch too

#

for some reason i thought it was between titan blood and diamond lmao

latent moon
#

but like fundamentally nothing really changes about runs or grinding resources

wispy sinew
#

Ok thanks

jagged hamlet
#

Does going well over 60 FPS affect anything?

Besides maybe Megagorgon

#

Hey guys, I was interested in making a "ALL BOSS THEMES COMPILATION" for youtube but uh... It's been difficult trying to find them

#

Is it like, the bossfight themes are just half of some of them?

#

Also I remember the Furies one being a bop but I cant find it in the one called Scourge of the Furies

sour fog
#

the fury bossfight has several themes

#

I imagine Out of Tartarus is the one you're looking for (the second half) as that's one of the top ones

#

painful way is another one, they're basically just second halves of the tartarus biome soundtrack

the recent #announcements artwork is really good, where do i get the High Resolution one?

silver nimbus
#

I have chiron bow with ares special

#

dire misfortune epic or impending doom rare

#

i don't know how dire misfortune exactly works

mint coral
latent moon
#

Dire misfortune will probably give you more damage tbh

mint coral
#

So for example on chiron the first arrow will inflict doom then the rest adds dmg to doom

silver nimbus
#

i chose dire misfortune and then got impending doom later

mint coral
#

That works lmao

#

But as banana said yeah misfortune prob adds more dmg

silver nimbus
#

I use fists most of the time I'm doing a ME run where i believe if you have merciful end and divine dash it is better to go for impending doom so I was questioning myself, glad I made the right choice

charred veldt
wispy sinew
#

Finally guns attempt bow again best build for hera?

stone rune
#

get crush shot

#

pom it a lot

#

thats it

#

you can do other stuff

wispy sinew
#

Ok and have the mirror perk with 3 cast?

stone rune
#

yep

#

its very simple at its core

wispy sinew
#

Ok and is crush shot a hammer or Artemis

stone rune
#

aphrodite

#

cast

#

the one with rlly short range

#

hera has really good synergy with it

wispy sinew
#

Ok

stone rune
#

because it gives it range

#

and crush shot has very high base damage

#

with good pom scaling

#

and then

#

on hera

#

dont underestimate the power of the hourglass keepsake

wispy sinew
#

Thanks and do dash atk only basically? An don't worry about special?

stone rune
#

yea

#

best hammer is flurry shot which is strong but hard to aim

#

otherwise triple shot, twin shot, perfect shot, point blank, chain all fine

wispy sinew
#

Ok kool

stone rune
#

and then

#

for secondary things

#

do you prefer fiery presence or shadow presence on the mirror

wispy sinew
#

Which one is orange?

stone rune
#

fiery

wispy sinew
#

That one

stone rune
#

wait

#

idk what color is what

wispy sinew
#

I think shadow is purple

stone rune
#

ok

#

so

#

well u can check in game

#

with shadow presence, you can get divine dash or divien strike from athena and get their duo parting shot

#

on fiery presence you can just go for stuff like snow burst and mirage shot

wispy sinew
#

Which would you say is better first group or second

stone rune
#

fiery presence is stronger

#

but shadow presence can also be fun

wispy sinew
#

I will try put both and see what I like better so I got crush shot already now aim for snow burst and mirage shot anything else

stone rune
#

hermes

#

quick reload is very nice

#

hyper sprint + rush delivery is also nice

wispy sinew
#

I figured that one is m7st for all builds

stone rune
#

and then just take the hourglass into elysium

#

and check every well you see

#

if u have any rolls left, roll the wells

#

because that extra duration on a braid of atlas or prometheus stone is huge

wispy sinew
#

So the well get one or both those

stone rune
#

yeah wells have a lot of useful itmes

#

stygian shards as well

#

the nails for extra armor damage
