i mean i've been doing 40 on and off for a while lmao
32 speedruns are honestly better than anyheat in unmodded
faster resets šŖ
maybe i'll give 32 runs a chance
it's just anyheat except it hurts more
i still think about how that run couldve been faster
there is nothing good about unmodded speed
cus i got like bullmaned barged castbugged and double darknessed
6:59:97 šŖ
cast bug was like idk 5 secs? you got it pretty fast
you def could've gotten a way better time lmao
sub6able tbh
couldve beaten my anyheat time
lmao based
technically yeah
or do 32 heat runs go in 32
idk you'll have to ask the verifiers lmao
just do like
31 heat
so it can only go into anyheat
lmfao
how do you do divided by death i need help
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. Thereās 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 theyāre dodgeable. Plus, Pit canāt 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 donāt think it means much for powerscaling since Iām certain Pit could do the same thing to Zagās Hades, itās 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 itās a close parallel to Pitās Three Sacred Treasures, that could heavily tip the scales in Zagās favor.
No mommy for hades ?š
Hey Fellas. I am in need of help š¤ 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.
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?
Have you invested blood into others aspects of these weapons?
No
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||.
So I need to invest a total of 5 blood across ALL 3 aspects?
I believe so, but its been a while since I was unlocking I was ....kinda closed with fresh file for a while.
I did. 6 in Rail (only Eris) and 5 in Shield
There's a server specifically for speedrunning pinned in self promotion channel, you might have more luck there
4 Zeus and 1 Zag
Theyāre pretty much at the same time right?
Do you have autosplitter
ehm these few frames might save me a whole second due to rounding
I was looking on timer and dying to spin to win so I started runnin withnout it so no autosplitter š¤.
Ill try thanks!
Itāll be the exact same frame as when the igt stops
well If you met all conditions it still rng before you get the conversation.
fresh file is timed by real time I believe.
Good point.
can you dash strike with flurry shot
so like dashing would make the next shot do less damage ?
But it isnt funny
so i seen there was a Hades 2 Technical test apparently..
intersting
wonder how we gonna get access to that

i want trippy with beo, right?
trippy has more dmg potential iirc
bcuz of pom glitch
but flood fare is the best cast
for beo
funny about Hades itās about the son escaping from his familyās home
Usually itās the dad
Imagine if Hades was about Hades escaping the underworld to āget milkā
flood is better since it opens mirage and you can get it going more consistently than trippy
trippy needs chaos rng to work well
got a heroic heartbreak
I just had the perfect run, it was the highest heat and quickest yet, but obviously I had to find the sack Iām the last room, and I lost all my dd in processā¦
is it better to load all stones or just 1 at a time to get dragon rush
if you stack inferno bomb chaos curses do they throw 2 of them when they die
funi
I need hades 2
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
question
does Charon's membership card count as a god boon?
im trying to do a boonless run and i... got his card
If it's not purgeable (I don't think it is), it shouldn't count against you
same for the 2.5% bonus damage per god boon mirror perk
Mirror perks aren't counted as boons
Iām 99% sure itās not
Well items appear in the boon screen too and they donāt count
i meant
Same with dark thirst
would i get more bonus damage from the damage-per-different-god mirror perk
if i get charon's card?
No
ah fair
Among the better aspects for IGT, which have lower APM?
Even accounting for mashing Cast?
Oh interesting. Wasn't aware of bugs with casts. Will have to look at the big sheet of Hades bugs
Thanks!
that one is
if u mash in a speicifc wya
you wont be able to interact until u pick up a stone
Thanks!
i require a theme to get(no infinite)
Tempted to rob Charon?
What a steal deal!
I feel like that might count if u benefit from boons
Cthonic is good
Deathly is good
Woodland is quite pretty
does rocket bomb not follow cursor???
it should
i've never had a problem with it
i have attack at cursor off
i dont think anyways
it just shoots in whatever direction zag is facing
idk i haven't played a lot of rail recently but from memory it should follow cursor still
maybe because enemies weren't nearby? idk
yeah with aim at cursor off
itll go vaguely wasd
in empty room it followed cursor
oh
is there any secret reward that resource director gives when upgrading the badge, like more darkness?
or is it truly just a cool badge
Is a really cool badge
is charged shot good or bad on beo
Best hammer
i now have hera at home

my very first clear with Chiron, easiest way to do Heat32
It's pretty good to get no core boons like that. Nice job.
im pretty sure there are easier ways to do 32
ā¬ļø canāt detect sarcasm
Just tried Hera + Phalanx shot. Really Fun! Went all in on the chonky hits, got twin and explosive hammers, some big numbers..
I just rolled the credits on Hades. What an ending!
I am unironically impressed by all your best times.
i used to just take my time on runs, dun rush through things
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.
if u wanna run
Hyper sprint always threw me into danger when I used it.

That's the way to play š
i cant do that
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.
The first level is doable. 3rd is barely possible in my experience.
Slowrun tips: fish every fish, loot every trove, look for golf urns every room, take every Styx tunnel to enjoy your build for longer
td3 isnt that bad till high 50s
takes a lot of practice and knowing meta builds/set ups tbf
for td3 at least
and like basic speedrun strats
but it's not too important compared to build
Imagine TD3 with maxed out jury summons too. Oh boy!
blue men galore
td3 with js3 and cp2 is not fun lmao
eh
I'll be happy if I can get to 20 heat.
my sister was watching my run and misread the furies as the furries
Depends on what conditions you add.
i mean
even the worst possible 20 pact wouldnt be too bad
ri4 ap2 is 13
so you cant even fit em4 in there
there's a heat guide pinned in #h1-high-heat-strategies if you wanna take a look at that, should help you out
also build guide pinned in #h1-builds-and-combat which should help
cf2 js3 cp2 ri4 ap2
cf2 worst heat
mope
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
@stone rune š
It's a very average Nemesis VOD featuring me!
https://youtu.be/m91CZSrP53w?si=fg2l-dmRbZymE5wr
Please excuse some of the bad miniboss fights 
one main issue from cursory glance before i do laundry is dash strike directions
u often arenāt 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
Thanks! I might have similar issues with other aspects since I'm stuck around 10 min
u can ask in speedcord
link pinned in #self-promotion
Are they friendly?
very
this community is the most welcoming i know
everyone is nice
iām probably the least nice active member there
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
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
you cancel out a lot of your specials by dashing early
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
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
Dang I'm 21 and I already can't keep track or aim them
Ohohoho it only gets worse
That is incredibly distressing
Why does infernal vs stygian matter for nem
Or is it just for rod
huge in tart
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
Tbh I'd rather do styian for a sub10 for better Hermes
And like not use the cast at all except for boiling blood
meh
itās still big to use in tart
brimstones
far away pests
lodge against armored thug
Don't need it for a sub10 just use whatever you want for that imo
For nem I've mainly just dash striked lmao
thereās also delayed dash strikes to get them to reach farther
For sub10 you don't have to optimize like that but you can do that ofc
which i picked up recently
If I can get better at Nemesis, surely it'll make me better at everything else
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
I see! This is all pretty new to me: I'm bad at video games
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
do minibosses count as encounters
yes
For chaos curses it wonāt count for an extra foes curse
I think that one specifies "standard encounters" and yeah minibosses do not count as standard encounter
not sure if any other curse has that
oh yea thats the one
i cant keep track of stygian timer
impossible
Sometimes you don't even need to look
Its more about intuition about how much had passed
QUICK QUESTION
is flurry jav + triple iab
compatible
???
flurry jab and triple jab
yes
Nvm Hades was filling chill
damn just finished Hades
What do i do now
????
Its so over
100% it
Ngl
The only 3 weapons i like
is fists
Railguj
and Spear
I cant make sword or shield work
is zagreus 5'2
Or is Hades 8'2
I like every weapon except fist
why hate fist
cause thye dont do damage
Do you know that shield can block
I have done clears with it
Its just feels clunky qt times
Gun is also insane
I hope fists rot in a hole
for me its Eris gun> achilles spear> fists of dem> aegis shield
Okay
I am gonna start having to clear with bow
on bowM
?
Oh
Yeah thats what I do on everything lol
Does rocket work on Eris gun ?
Yes
okay. So uh i just need some fun hammers
shield hammers askde from dash attack hammer and attack hammer are so boring
cshot?
cshot! Or Charged Shot
but it only does 80 dmg
oh base
Hold on
chatged attacks only applay attack.boons?
???
Cahot is super spammable also
okay sorry i dont know much about game mechanics
Isn't it like 2x a fully charged Bull Rush?
"SPOILER ALERT"
Beat the game with all weapons, got persephone back home
Got 4 secret aspects unlocked and going for 16 heat
And im not even 24 hours in
Damn
Bullrush is like 50? I think
ngl the lore is a bit confusing
How many runs did you take to get your first clear?
It took me 40 runs lmao, I was on mosue and keyboard
I kneeew you'd summon jazz š
I got in in half also mouse and keyboard
arthur is bottom 4 aspect tho
I'm right between you two playing on controller
Switched to controller last couple of runs and its a lot better
took me 26 or 23 on kbm
I finished the game on controller
one of the two idr
Really? I mean i dont think u can speedrun with it
But its fun chunky big numbers weapon
I think i did it in like under 30 runs on KBM but that first clear was on fistss
thats hestia
Like fists u just need spacevar and lmb
Whats kbm?
keyboard and mouse
Oh
early game fists is reliant on every component of ur kit
attack dstrike special dupper cast
I mean the fastest runs i did was with hera bow and Achilles spear
those are two of the fastest
Idk i just did it but i hink i got very lucky with my stuff
Hera crush shot and bayblades spear
Spear is so fun
Well it is
I havent played with bow much tbf
Have u unlocked the aspect yet?
U should there are a lot of fun builds
I just havent really focused on to one aspect
I have an amazing build for the gun
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
I usrd the other two
U can get zeus attack and call or zeus call only with aphro attack for the duo boon
Delta or soemthinf
Yeah i did zeus attack i think with posi dasg
Or athena attack with posi dash
Just the cherry on top not that needed
the other one was dino + aprho combo
Athena dash and cast prob the best
yeah but i wanted posi dash
U couldbetter attk boons
posi dash is crazy
Yeah the duo boon is goot
D
Whats posi dash?
I think most dashed u want to go with most of the runs are tidal dash and athena dash
poseidons dash
Yeah
I might try charged shot shirld build
With dash strike crit sword build
Its the best hammer for the shield
Does it stack with 500% dmg gammer
Whats that
yeah, I found the 3D artist's page
what aspect for a poseidon build
I got my fastest ever Tartarus at 2:05 š So close now
@mint coral I still don't know what you mean! Soz
#h2-discussion message
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
No no, like if we encounter zag in the middle of a run like Than in hades 1 or a boss fight/whatever
I recall a convo about Than being a handful as a baby because he could tele worlds away
Ooooh! Duh... that would be cool!
Dang
And instead of the dash from the first game he justs zooms to the other side of the map cuz he hit the gym
That would be sick, to have him zip across the world like Than
Baby Than got the world in the palm of his hands and he didnāt even know it
Personally, if he does appear, my only wish for him is to have some facial hair lmao
jumpscared by the existence of more than 5 channels in this server
Oh fr haha
I think theyāre gonna keep them separate
Nyx following Than around the world
That whole convo reminded me of the baby from The Incredibles
Just like Mr. Incredible and Jakjak
I think that baby could also zip about, albeing for shorter distances
Lol
zing!
any1 here wanna buy me hades? :)
i can do it, heres my credit card:
why are you begging in the official server, get a job or beg your friends/parents
Grr Dyno hates classic English authors grr
I used the word tr.a.p for dad pot and got flag
it wasnt that word, it was a swear

Speedrun Hestia might be too big brain for me! I keep getting Special and Reload mixed up despite them being on radically different buttons LOL
I find it funny that supergiant goes "thank you for your support" because, like, I want to answer "thank you for the amazing game"
If I have Tidal Dash, Triple Bomb (Deadly Flourish), Dio Aid on Hestia, what might be the best play against Lernie's extra heads?
u wanna distribute ur damage sources across the heads
attack one, triple some other and keep dashing around anothe
Thanks! Hope I have enough coordination to pull that off
What's a decent win rate
Like, percentage wise, what's considered good when it comes to beating a run
At low heat, lots of players can win indefinitely, I think
How many hours u got
137
Ohh
I have a bad win rate now i think cuz i got like 40ish runs and won like 12 only i think
Yea I'm really gutted at this percent
But now im just winning almost every run or reaching hades at least its not that hard
I'll just grind low heat runs I guess
I die to redacted errytiem
When u know ur weapon and aim for a build with keep sakes its not. That hard to win
I know
Whats that?
Oh when hades ressurect?
No
I dont understand
When you die to hades, hypnos will say "you were killed by redacted"
Oh
And so, in an effort not to possibly spoil new players, I call him redacted
I mean most know already u can basically reach him first day if ur good enough
Meh
Keyword good enough 
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
I mean i played it before for couple of days and left it for about a year
When i returned i reached hades in 2 attempts i think
Yeah but most people don't do that its what I mean
Redacted is a funny joke/little courtesy (even if specifically in this channel is unnecessary)
I don't, but thank you
Yeah, this. Everyone calls him redacted on the subreddit too
the subreddit 
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?)
What's wrong with the subreddit
When I started a fresh file on switch I think I beat redacted in attempt 7 or 8
Opinions about meta mostly
Oh I ignore all that
theyre stuck in early access
I just look at the clips and laugh at the memes
I don't try to get into the meta side of the game
How do you mean
But also it gets tiring talking about "subreddit opinion bad" most of the time so I don't really care
of any game
Womp womp
and the worst 32 pacts you've ever seen
I personally love Arthur but it is NOT good lmao
Anytime
š i cleared my first 32 heat with arthur and cursed slash
If I try to go 32 I just use the pinned guide ngl
Is the bosses heat that hard?
I've been trying to get used to +20% speed but elysium bones me
You mean em?
Easy
Except for em4
EM4 is not exactly too hard until you ramp up speed to +40%
Em4 fun but you aren't catching me recommending it on pacts
He go zoom zoom tho :(
I mean im not used to heat yet i found em 4 the easiest
anybody here
wat
I got a problem just dont know where to look for an answer
i finally got every achievment
gamer
AHHH SUB 2 TARTARUS I can be cool like jazz now
gamer
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
I think it does, but heās 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
So is it just me or is hades not the hardest boss?
he said he also felt uncomfortable on the surface for too long
i think Hades EM4 is the hardest
Thessus EM3 is probably harder than normal Hades
I'm just now starting em so idk might change my mind but regular run wise he isn't tge hardest imo
then who's hardest to u?
Charon
oh yeah, he did hit harder than Hades
I just got the mission about defeating him twice in a row and I'm like damn
asterius
em3 theseus is still free
i mean as a whole fight lol
Heroes EM3 then
but yea i think there are scenarios where em3 heroes is harder than non em dad
I still remember figuring out he's a boss. I'm like sweet free gold...
but non em dad is still harder for me when iām pushing heat
i usually donāt even pop sd in heroes
How significant is regular to em1? I feel it can't do to much
Same with 2?
em2 is not small changes
huge visual difference
but for difficulty itās not that bad
lernie is actually faster on em2
EM3 is where the difference become obvious
Lernie is my favorite boss but he isn't a challenge like at all the witches are harder
heās definitely the hardest boss for speedrun
takes a lot of mechanical skill to do a fast lernie
but itās also very fun
always bring up speedrun so quick lol
i used to hate it but now i find it fun
I can see that cuz the extra heads ans sometimes it takes few seconds sometimes for shield
well thatās most of my experience with the game
first few times it's a pretty big adjustment imo but it doesn't take that long to adapt to
also, that's because speedrun don't do EM3+
the heads group up a lot more because the arena is a lot smaller
so you can sometimes hit like 3 or 4 heads at a time
Well I can't really speak on it without doing it
i hit like 4 heads last time in a single rama shot
40 heat speedruns go brr
jazz has been grinding 40 heat speed lmao
@latent moon well that aspect wouldn't be hard but idk if just me lernie sometimes takes few seconds for shield to go away
it sucks donāt do it
is it? most people i see go for heat 9 lol
awful category
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
I gotta do the heat challenge so what is the best heats? Em1,the one about hit shield what else?
i mean yeah aspect dependent but it's beneficial for every aspect
like rail bomb, nem, etc
donāt play it
there's literally no other heat point that you can use lmao
other than ri1
everything else adds time
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
No I didn't mean aspect as in weapon. I meant in that instance heads group wouldn't be hard. Just the shield pop would kill speed run
what shield pop
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*
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
itās so bad
once i got sub10 or something i think
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
and some people think AP is free heat for boonless lol
https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2668/images/57/57-1606868049-1330525008.png
still can beat this at max TD lol
Best boon for special?
assuming u use heat40 on this mod
I have no time but I really wanna start a second playthrough. š
Tell boss you got covid š
Oh forgot y'all have language rules my bad.
I pulled the trigger cuz it's on sale
On steam?
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.
Ig I'm guna start fresh now too š
LOL
I think ima just leave it on my TV and just play it little by little.
Except for maybe the next couple hours š
I saw some mods and there insane. I originally bought on ps5 but now pc
Mods š
Yea man jazz showed me
@stone rune whats that YouTube link again for the mod with zues you showed few days ago?
Should I try hell mode or is it insane?
I never did it personally but sure an record it
Ima hold off I think
I will test how insane it is even tho I didn't upgrade weapons really
?
if u plan to do hell mode in future, i recommend u might as well start off hell mode
U sent me link to your video and it had zues mod where he threw it unless that was someone else
wdym threw
Based on what I read seemed like I should freshen up on a normal playthrough.
hell mode not a big deal
it forces on a few pact conditions
hell mode, u got locked with 5 heat, and lol
Idk how to explain more than that
what aspect
lol wouldn't that screw up all speedrun WR runners?
What's the lol š
CP1 and JS1 got forced
Shield or fist
i assume most people arent speedrunning
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
I thought she didn't have one?
i think there is one but it is not the same as meg or than
itās 1/8
My thumb is starting to hurt xD
she has one, you need it to complete aphrodite
i got it
we are okay
u could get Dusa to your bedroom to talk about romance
What is one of the easier heat 8? I chose em3 ans 2 of the hit first b4 health ones
dont do damage control
its very difficult
id put
hard labor 2 extreme measures 2 tight deadline 2
Ok how is it difficult? And I have to do em3 anyway for posiden so what else would I put
so basically
acorn is the best defensive keepsake in the game right
Yea
damage control gives acorn to every enemy
it's just really hard to keep up when there are a lot of enemies
Yea 2 hits though am I missing something?
or even when there are just a few on slower hitting aspects
those 2 hits are impactufl
it takes 3x the hits to kill each numbskull
I git you I do wana have em3 on to get rid of quest so what else to add then in ur opinion
you have a lot of options
id probably do either middle management or underworld customs
Ok thanks I see alot of options but idk the easiest lol I will go wirh those for the first curtain
there is a progression guide pinned in #h1-high-heat-strategies
it's meant for progressing up to 32 heat
but it still is pretty good
Thanks
How hard is it gonna be to relearn Hades on KBM if I ever feel like being able to aim things?
Hades on kbm I imagine is so much easier than controller
nah
controller has large advantage on hera
and luci is easier on kbm
otherwise very equal
Movement feels a little awkward on KBM. Less omnidirectional and all that.
Are you a kbm or controller player? To me its much more fluid to use kbm than a controller
This is the only game I've played on a controller. PC gamer since 1994ish.
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
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.
honestly shouldn't take that long to adjust
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
Thanks, but you give me too much credit. I rebound reload to try and make Hestia easier and it melted my brain.
I beat heat 8. Probably not huge deal but it was kool
Also I think I discover one of the worse boons š
which?
Smoldering air I think that was the name
actually that one is very good
it goes best with zeus and dionysus call
try it with zeus
I misread it I didn't know the most you could get was 25% I thought it filled up to 25%
@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
this run was basically carried by smair
I had Artemis
I chose artemis for my super this time Ig I can see how it be good with zues dionysus
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
I will try next time. I also didn't see hades new move what is it?
did u use extreme measure 4?
3
he only gets extra on em4
Oh ok
em3 affects heroes
Lernie had me playing completely different ngl
I dash atk alot and it showed me how much more careful I gotta be
yea u also gotta pay more attention to the main head slams
Yea he slammed me few times cuz they were grouped
I do like em though especially at start with sisters was cool they both came in
??
speed or heat
heat big head if its slammer small heads if pink
speed small heads
What heat do you speed run at?
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
Did you ever go higher than 50 an speed run?
Ok what's max with mods? Infinite?
yeah i guess
Ok send me link to your 40 heat?
If I hit 3 min before I even hit the last shop in Tartarus, should I just Give Up and try to change RNG?
i mean
sure
it is pretty bad pace
theyre unmodded
playing seeded i believe
for hammer
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
no
I know the rarity doesn't matter. Just mentioning it for detail. Controller
focusing on grouping and learning break points will help
also min charging instead of power shotting
@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?
I'd like to see your VOD, jazz
what do you have on your pact right now
its on controller which im very unfamiliar with
Em3,benifet package,middle management,underworld customs,and tight deadline 2
bp1 or 2
2
Ok thanks
@jagged hamlet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS9A2Yhpigk heres a slow one that i did with the controller inputs showing
Yea this heat is not happening š
u can do it
is there something in particular you're struggling with?
Those bigger guys with clubs absorb my dmg like I'm poking them
armored thugs are the highest hp enemy in tartarus but that might also be a build issue
what build are you doing
yeah its the primary thing to get after crush shot
I got zues shield and have his atk
that'd do it
Oh ok I'm at 535 and did 3 rooms ima wipe
Zeus shield special with a side of Zeus is an electric circular saw
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
Hermes, why are you literally not giving me Greater Recall like 20 rerolls in
For Arthur what is the thing on the ground? Is it dmg increase while in it?
It protects you and slows down enemies and projectiles
Ok thanks best build for that aspect?
Aphrodite attack, then whatever, really
Ok thanks
are u on hera
Yes š¦
I do love my Quick Reload. Doesn't QR lead into GR nicely though?
not worth rolling for
i mean if there's nothing else to roll for
wells
there will always be wells to roll
yeah rolling for greater recall not worth because wells give more damage
Oh my word I just rerolled into triple explosive shot
maybe roll once if you have more than 3 rerolls but that's about it
u never roll second hermes off qr
okay but what if hyper sprint into styx rd
i donāt double roll midbiome
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
i haven't played anyheat in a while tbf
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!
yeah for sure
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
Beat heat 16 was so nervous I couldn't beat hades in time then he's like nah we not guna fight š
Thanks, Banana! And graaats, Majin!
Thanks man
10th win moment
you can re roll hammers?
damn, i got really excited
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.
lmfao based
@brisk trail 32 is next just wana max stuff out first
Any easy ways to get ambrosia post games sides quest an runs?
Dang was hoping could get other ways now
well after credits the game doesn't exactly change lmao
And fishing!
Yea I read it's rare getting like that though right?
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
Or 50/50 on a perfect catch. 20% Greece rate, I think
Ok I could have swore someone told me there be easier way after credits š
oh yeah 50/50 on perfect catch too
for some reason i thought it was between titan blood and diamond lmao
i guess it just opens up more fated prophecies
but like fundamentally nothing really changes about runs or grinding resources
Ok thanks
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
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?
I BEAT HEAT 16 š„ š„ (I cant screenshot
)
beat it /w arthur as a weapon with artemis/hermes build
Where's Kratos? I thought he would be in the underworld by now
he got lost in Minnesota
Minnesota? What is that place? Is it like the mystical lands of Wyoming?
Are you on PC, False? I wonder if changing between DX and Vulkan would help
Cheese. Curds. š
Kratos destroys Hades again for... cheese
Then gets destroyed in turn by the curds: they're fattening
Turns out Vulkan is run by...the Khronos group š
I have chiron bow with ares special
dire misfortune epic or impending doom rare
i don't know how dire misfortune exactly works
If an enemy has doom on it (as in the sword on top of it) any other doom you apply to that enemy will add the dmg said by dire misfortune
Dire misfortune will probably give you more damage tbh
So for example on chiron the first arrow will inflict doom then the rest adds dmg to doom
i understand that i meant the damage calcs
i chose dire misfortune and then got impending doom later
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

Finally guns attempt bow again best build for hera?
basically just
get crush shot
pom it a lot
thats it
you can do other stuff
Hera Guide: This guide assumes knowledge of Hades speedrunning basics. You can find that here in SleepSoulās intro to Hades speedrunning guide (I linked the video, thereās a text version of it in the description). If you have any questions or comments, DM me on discord: Croven#3468 By Croven an...
Ok and have the mirror perk with 3 cast?
Ok and is crush shot a hammer or Artemis
aphrodite
cast
the one with rlly short range
hera has really good synergy with it
Ok
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
Thanks and do dash atk only basically? An don't worry about special?
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
Ok kool
and then
for secondary things
do you prefer fiery presence or shadow presence on the mirror
Which one is orange?
fiery
That one
I think shadow is purple
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
Which would you say is better first group or second
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
I figured that one is m7st for all builds
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
So the well get one or both those
