I see
It used to be pretty busted, much like chaos shield
That makes sense it would be op if i had less internal cooldown
That moment when haelian makes a video about how chaos shield is op and then 3 years later or something, someone sees it and unlocks it to massive disappointment
happened to me lmao
Yeeeep
The most important thing. Is to have fun :)
splash or zeus start?
someone here got rid of the internal cooldown or made it like absurdly low and it wasn't op from what i can remember
Yeah Hades is truly a game built for that
splash i think
it was a lot stronger ofc but it wasn't like mind breaking i dont think
It used to be extremely strong (max heat back then was beaten with chaos shield, routed)
I kinda want to stop playing RoR2 and go back to Hades for a bit
But i just got the SotV DLC for RoR2 so idk
RoR isn’t going anywhere 
i mean neither is hades
it’s true
Well... Here is the thing i just remembered I was going to do a lot of training on Hades like until Hades 2 drop but im waiting on a specific release date anouncement
go with what your heart tells you
hades 2 EA is dropping in q2 next year
So in theory i won't have time for any other game later
I want to see something in TGA 
Ik but like i want a exact date
SAME
i want it to win MAG award
how long was hades 1 EA? like a year?
my guess is that hades 2 ea would be like june after finals and the start of summer
That's too long 😭
lmao true
Im sooo gonna be there at the game awards to see who wins the MAG award
I don't remember the competition besides Hades 2 being in it
No im not gonna be there physically but on my phone
Hades came out in december 2018 and was out of EA by September 2020
Inb4 4 years of EA because the game is way bigger than expected
Infinite wealth was there but those are the only two i remember
coming in at exactly 576 dps (yes I calculated it) from the hangover alone, this thing shreds elysium arena and dad
also I forgot to meg
and it still destroyed him in under 1 and a half minutes
including the invincibility phases
anyone else gets framedrops sometimes on steamdeck ?
Never roiling
also have mirage lol
alr
wtf
just got 3 rat rooms in a row
where's the nyaana save state guide
can't find it
nvm found it
quick question, to get the hidden aspects I need to invest 5 titan blood? I think i read that but idk it mightve only been for that specific weapon
there's a pinned guide in #h1-story-discussion
thank you
i played the game when hades was on the gamepass if i buy it now from steam will i lose all my progress??
I bought it and I have no progress do i need to anything??
how to use fated persuasion? the dice thing is always red and i can never roll it to get new boons…. how do i get the dice or whatever in order to roll my boons
double checked you aren't using fated authorithy?
if no, have you leveled up persuasion?
otherwise you don't get the starting rolls
same if you are using routine inspection
like maxing it in the mirror?
at least one level on it
ah ok
routine inspection is one of the pacts
-3 mirror skills starting from the bottom (so persuasion, pride/legacy and favor/foresight)
2 heat per level
you still can use persuasion to some extent btw
if you have fated keys from the work orders
how so
you'll get a persuasion roll each time you pick a key
from the one dude near hades seat in the hub world?
ah ok
diamonds are only unlocked from the heat runs right?
like by beating the bosses with different weapons on different heat
yeah yeah
first time you beat a boss with a weapon you'll get the big bounties
furies and dad drop blood, hydra diamonds and heroes ambrosia
also last question, ive had so much dialoue with achilles
yet i still havent gotten the hidden aspect of guan yu or whatever
for the spear
check requirements in #h1-story-discussion pins
if you have everything is legit just keep talking lol
okok thanks
though as a tip, advancing the main story will probably delay the gy dialogue further
as those are prioritized
whats the max bonus i can get on darkness and gems?
cause i think i just hit it
or close
i have +365%
dammmm how
so i wanted to max the egg so i went with that
then i got epic +130
then 3-4 after chambers i got 155 with a different debuff
the 20 i got from the weapon
and then the boon from poseidon epic
thatd be pretty hard to calculate, since youd have to find:
max buff from epic abyssal
frequency of normal chaos gates
max number of possible non styx, miniboss, boss, erebus, or "free" chambers
max number of key chambers possible before ely endshop
any other bs that might appear, like no mystery and light at the same time
i got atleast 1000 gems and darkness in this run
hella lucky
plus i got 2 sunken treasures
shady when
technically speaking there isn't a max bonus you can get
it's just like
how likely are you to get eclipse boons from chaos lmao
there is a max bonus, im just too lazy to find it
and its pretty much never gonna be used because rng
how do i complete the dusa quest i already did the lounge renovations but it says the quests is not complete
she can take a bit sometimes just do runs and eventually it'll get completed
it took me like 9-10 runs after i completed the criteria to actually get it to unlock
i thinkkkk than and meg might have to be at the house? but i could be thinking of smth else
my skill at the furies fight is shameful lol
I usually just panic and starts mashing buttons
Which, surprisingly, is not a very effective tactic.
You'll get better as you learn their patterns. If you aren't running tight deadline, just spend a few minutes just trying to take as little damage as possible and watch their behaviour (except Alecto maybe since she'll get angrier based on a timer).
I'm on TD3, because I love pain
Also on a cursed maxed pact except the ones I find annoying
because optimizing heat is cringe, and I'm based, so I'm optimizing having fun
(ie dying like an idiot)
tbh I'm this close to try to find a mod to force athena in tartarus since I'm running a ME build
'''''just'''
I'm not the biggest fan of zeus shield tbh
fist can also run this pact, much harder to do tbh
Help I'm cooking too much
I'm trying some zagsword worldsplitter shmonbo
difficult to change my muscle memory for the rotation from "dashstrike-dashstrike-special/cast" to "dashstrike-attack-dashstrike-attack"
Guys WTF was this build ?
https://imgur.com/a/U7YWFWT
The lack of jolted is 
Splitting putting in work
And dio attack with call
But that’s a lot of boon for olympian favor
I smell trial somewhere in there
Lmao I didn't see that
Honestly, I was flabbergasted to see so much in one run
It was pretty jacked in term of boons but I have ptsd with splitting bolt zeus lmao
Not my vod, but you can see the block is bugged with splitting bolt
Splitting bolt is the zeus boon that does extra lightning to the shield when launched ? (switch to EN for the screen xD)
I think I had altleast 2 trials
Zeus funny yellow boon aka his legendary
I will take it on every aspect other than zeus
I mean it does dmg right ? Anyway I never had it so had no choice to pick it
Well yeah but it changes drastically how I play the dad fight
So no thank
I will still take it on my chill runs tho
Since splitting bolt is ~~ one of~~ the best legendary in the game
But does it forces you to change playstyle ? Or do you just do more dmg by adapting your playstyle ? Had so much going on don't really remember what it does
It adds a small lightning orb on top of every lightning bolt
On aspect that use lightning effect well such as rail, spear and fist, the damage boost is insane
Since every attack proc splitting bolt
Zeus also enjoy that damage boost but the bug makes it very dangerous for dad fight, even em3 asterius to some degree
Playing zeus without the block is a get gud moment
Honestly I don't always block, feel like it's boring and not so fun
So I'd rather fight up and take some risks most of the time
Except for like the whole elyseum part
I don't go full block cus I've seen one too many clips of it being reliable lmao
I'll still abuse the rush to world's end though
Welp, I played too much zeus to know the stuff it can’t block
With splitting bolt, you just kill him faster so maybe it’s safer 
Quite the chaos you got there
Unless is like super high heat where you really don't wanna gamble it
Also EA carry
Btw no ones gonna talk about the 3 defense athena items I got ? At this point getting hit was a challenge 😭
imagine crucible from doom as a sword aspect
that would be very cool
and probably one of the only video game references that is acceptable
starfield rail gun
Just put the transistor as another sword aspect
The Kid's hammer as hidden aspect in hades 2 would be hype
I feel like an axe and a hammer are two weapons that make a lot of sense for melinoe
Well, mostly because they're common fantasy weapons and didn't appear in Hades 1
That’d give us a hammer and sickle, nice
Calamity cannon aspect of the rail
Bring the crimes from another universe right at your doorstep
Y ?
Hello there. Can someone explain to me how dash-strike works with the Coronauht? In particular, how hunter dash from Artemis works with it. From the description it should increase the damage by 50% (no levels, white rarity), yet I just cannot find a way how to get arrows that do more damage than normal attack.
Dash and immediately hold the attack button, if you press it once nothing happens, if you wait too long the percentage isn’t added
Yes, that is how I get charged shot charge faster. Still I just don't see any improvements on damage part. Even more - it almost like it slightly less powerful even. In my current run, if I charge shot (no boons on attack, twin shot hammer) I do 128 or 130 damage to the unarmored wretched thug. If I dash - I acharge power shot faster, but it always do 128 damage, never 130 even. That is clearly not an increase from dash attack. Or power shot after dash is not considered dash-attack and to get the benefits from Arthemis boon I have to shoot as fast as possible after I dashed?
dash attack has less base damage
it's still better to do
because they come out faster
last part is wrong btw
they mean the power shot buff i assume
if you're not power shotting on a bow your attack will not do damage
I mean waiting between dashing and holding attack, doesn’t the boost go away after a time?
oh that kind of wait
hunter's dash buff?
i thought you meant waiting during the charge
oh that
but i assume they mean waiting between dash and pressing attack
low reading skills moment
Terrible writing moment
I think you mean 21:9
?
Widescreen are in 21:9
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGB0EKD0AyQ is this video 21:9
On what screen do you play ?
I'm guessing you play on widescreen 21:9 and looking at some other videos in 16: different than your 21:9 looks weird cuz you are used to your settings
you WHAT ?
it looks better
You playin on this or what ?
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/58UAAOSwdqpk62s8/s-l1200.webp
you get used to jazz playing on a stretched resolution after a while lmao
best aspects for weapons?
nemesis achilles zeus/hidden hera/hidden demeter eris/hestia
just found out that if you leave the chamber when meg has a "bedroom inspection" dialogue ready, it gets replaced
So janky yet so fun
I am still alive
yeah the game is amazing
Best song per region?
all of them
aspho has it the thoughest cuz you have eury songs 
No more Debts to be Paiid!
I was thinking when she sings in the blood on her own but sure
bloodless also exists in asph
however, the best music is at the house of hades
real
bloodless is nice
but also is the theme of tony
Don't leave a girl waiting...
hooray zag finally learned to play the lyre
all that remains is exploding launcher and rolling knuckle and then ill complete list
legacy + plume + stygian
you’ll find out if you just keep playing the game but if you really need to know ||they unlock weapon aspects and upgrade them||
thanks
that’s a better discussion for #video-games 
how do i finish tartarus with the bow
my aim is kinda bad
probably because im using keyboard to play it
I've never used keyboard/mouse to play, but I think there's an option for aim assist?
On console there's aim assist on all the time as I understand it.
IM SCREECHING
I finally got to tell dusa how much I love her
I've been trying so hard this whole time to get the complete hearts for the storyline holy crap
I love her shes so adorable
It’s my favourite weapon but it takes some getting used to. But basically, dash-strike all the time
Doesn't it have aim assist by deafault?
I don’t remember but I turned it off personally
If I miss 3 shots in a row, that’s on me 
yea
which is better? unlock the gun or the additional slot in the mirror
aight thanks a lot
is 300 enough?
What's the last mirror skill you have rn
the double dash one i think
trying to collect 500 for the third chance skill
Wait do you only have like the first 3 skills unlocked
Def get to unlocking more of the mirror after the gun lol
hmm
I think the hp increase is the 20 keys one?
does giving more nectar do anything?
i see, so that's why the most i could do was elysium huh
I mean you could do it without that but it def helps
Yes and no
Gameplay wise only a few will give you something else at some point
other than the bonus on the start
Others simply advance their story
Heya, a couple questions here for someone more knowledgeable than me:
- I believe that I remember that sometimes when I defeat enemies they drop coins, but I am not sure that it happened. And if it does - does it also applies to additional enemies from Jury Summon?
- What is a good aspects for a clear with Approval Process? I understand that it can be done with anything, but I am struggling and want some easier time. And I am not really interested in advices for boons, universal or not - I want to figure that out myself.
- yeah some do, jury summons enemies also but there's a gold cap per room and you usually reach it without it
- hestia aspect of the rail works great, you only "need" the attack boon
Or not even one and just the shackle keepsake lol
Oh, Hestia is one of my least favorite, at least mechanically. I just cannot keep up the rhythm for the whole run and when I fail to do it properly damage just dive and it become really tedious. But thanks for advice anyway.
Do you have hidden bow?
Zag bow may want at least one of the good hammers to feel good but shouldn't be an issue
I have all aspects available, but a few hidden ones are still waiting for titan blood to be unlocked
As you said ap1 alone can be done with pretty much abything
Also only a few aspects fully leveled, but that I can manage
Zeus shield also works
Oh, yes, that one should do nicely, thanks!
But what is the room gold cap? I never heard of it before
Well, I get the concept, but what is the number?
Is like 20 gold and varies depending on type of encounter and biome depth
And survival rooms always have 60 gold cap
I see, thanks. Not a lot, but I understand why.
i dont like the ||bull ||😠
Theseus makes me laugh
Elysium keeps killing my runs xD
Honestly only tartarus feels fair xD
Blowing up theseus's chariot then hearing him say NOoOoOooOOOo is the best thing ever
Oh, extreme measures. Does it unlock a new dialogue pool? Because after the first time I used it and won, the next time I went without it, Theseus was a bit insecure, before returning normal
Rq I made a drawing of Theseus and asterius I posted it in fan works. people reacted with an ox/bull makes sense. But they also reacted with an onion
What does the onion mean
dunno what it means in the channel, but u get an onion when u fail erebus
Oh I thought it was a small piece of pomegranate
Him being secure happens without EM pretty sure
Is a fun side story though
Yea hahahahaha. Also, did it unlock a new combined attack for them too? On screen happenes a lot of stuff, so I could not understad if I made it up
After the arc is done they get a new move yeah
Asterius will run into Theseus's shield and cause a shockwave
Literal power of friendship
Bullhorn! (Oo-err)
hello
once again an what to do next
chamber 3, choosing between Aphrodite and Artemis
first room Flurry
What does your heart tell you
choose the best dps
then my keyboard ask you
(and just like that... what's the best between Zeuy, Aphrodite and Artemis on Flurry?)
Zeus is not even an option
?
Aphro is consistency and artemis can get better with chaos boons/twin or triple shot
As in why would you take zeus
zapiti zap
I guess??
But really, top dmg is gonna be arte or aphro
That said you still can fit zeus on either of those lol
Lightning rod/smoldering air gaming
zapiti zap with double strike
Dstrike doesn't work on your attack
It could be flurry jab
!
Oh yeah there's like 3 flurry hammers lmao
Yeah dstrike works for lightning bolts, attack/cast is chain lightning
vinil disk scratch!!!
is smoldering decently good?
One of the best duos tbh
Lesser calls are better than greater for exception of like artemis/aphro
And even then some people like smair aphro for constant interripting
Is it known what percentage of hades players have achieved 32 heat clears?
No, I don’t think so, but there is one for 16 heat for every platform
i'd say that like at least half of the ones who beat 16 has beaten 32
i feel like if they've beaten 16 then they're dedicated enough to keep playing more lmao
you can skip the minos fight itself? i ended up at the boss of elysium without doing minos
still died tho
why does it have to be a 2v1 😠
Minos fight is one of several potential minibosses
aha
For those two: kill the bull first because it's easier to deal with theseus without him around. Use the pillars to avoid the spear, which you can see through a small targeting reticle over zag
just got heart rend and mirage shot offered in the same boon, feeling blessed by olympus frfr
thanks for the tip i finally made it past Elysium
my hera run has become an attack run
350 damage per backstab on flurry
bruuuuh BP is so weird fr
I'd even dare say it's badly designed
There's no reason it could vary this much
Sometimes you get like multiplying linked thugs and you're free to go
sometimes you get multiplying fast witches and you're dead
or multiplying warding numskulls
i feel like popper, cloner, and spewer are locked to specific biomes
ive only seen popper in ely(besides once in asph, unless i was drunk), cloner in tart, spewer in asph
yeah they are
mayyybe cloner can happen after tart, I'm not too sure
... I've been mostly stuck in tart lately 
i think cloner is exclusive to tartarus
correct
when you get the room with numbskulls that give each other damage control
that's annoying af
I feel like cloner is really badly balanced
sometimes you have slow enemies spawning at the other side of the room that are not even an inconvenience
sometimes you're swarmed by ten billions little blooders that basically teleport on you DBZ style
Is the third skelly statue 24 or 32 heat ? Then you might have an answer
32
That's kind of SGG
yeah 32 doesnt have achievement on purpose
urban dic ain't helping me on this one, what's SGG ?
supergiant games lmao
Supergiant Games
Ohhh right
At what point the game gets hard ? I'm mean I'm kinda tryharding the game but haven't really felt overwhelmed yet
Yeah, did it at like 1 or 2 to get ressources
Just won a 8 heat and felt fine, ofc if I go at 50 rn I'm gonna struggle so freakin much but at what heat game start to get more serious to you ?
honestly depends a lot by person
I've seen so many people not even touching the pact
but also depends on what pacts you take
20 heat with like ri4 em4 td3 and idk can be as hard as "standard" 50
It's weird for once I feel like I'm like really good at a game
also to actually answer
50 probably? depending on weapon way lower but still can clear 32
and that's the other thing, heat snowballs hard with the difficulty
I feel like only your max heat matters, if your smarter than others on your choices you are just better than others to me
(also even on this, some people 32 heat pacts still surprise me lmao)
Do you get any benefits from heat btw ? i think I'm supposed to but have no idea x)
so you know how killing bosses for the first time drops the unique items?
Yep
after clearing with a weapon you can use heat to reset the bounties
so you can get them again
nah
bounties are given based on the lowest available
so if you have no heat clears and somehow cleared that it would give the bounties for 1 heat
then if you do it again it'll give for 2 heat and so on
they also cap at 20 heat
25 on hell mode
as a note
you can "skip" 0 heat
normally you need to beat your current heat but you can just move on from 0 even if you didn't get all the bounties
if that happens the gauge should tell you that you are missing those so you can't miss it
If you haven't finished a 0 heat run with a weapon the game doesn't let you start with heat ?
I don't get it
the opposite
climbing heat needs you to beat your current one
so to get bounties for 2 heat you need heat 1 done
Yeah you can always 'finish' 0 heat later
idk exactly why it lets you do that anyways
Good to know that trying to go for max heat now is kinda dumb
yup
Only 2 yeah but we can technically say 3 tbh lmao
can't forget baj gaming
Oh I was counting mysterra
Wait I saw that angelic did but others did too ? Unseeded I mean
Bai did unseeded yes
Mysterra just doesn't feel like doing reset simulator for a week to do it
I'll let bananas answer cuz I haven't checked speedcord in a while lmao
Baj did routed
Mysterra just doesn't feel like trying for unmodded unseeded lmao
But they used the 99 heat mod and beat 82
tbf who would lmao
So like we can technically lump in mysterra for 64 on a technicality imo lmao
Baj did routed 64 so like technically unmodded but it's not like it's that much easier lmao
Baj video is still good for the "even if perfect luck you still need so much skill"
Yea
I also remember someone's comment on one of Haelian's video
Bai did it legit in a week tho so you can check out his run
I would have say the opposite lmao
"we need 100 people so you can get the run quick"
then haelian is just like
"yeah but only one can actually beat it"
Show me some guy killing charon at 64 heat without stuff and I'll be impressed xD
I mean the issue with fighting Charon for them isn't like difficulty
It's time
It's unlikely they'll actually finish the run in the end lmao
most things don't even affect charon
Do you just straight up die after timer is out ?
5 dmg per second
Don't know how many phases got charon (and don't wanna know), but I encountered him for the first time and early pattern seems easy tbh
charon patterns are chill
Time is so tight in the run that you generally end with like 30 seconds left if you're lucky lol
Just that I was room 6 and each hit one shoted me lmaoooo
but just like heightened security have fun when you do mistakes
exactly this lmao
Like why tf can you battle him so early ?
risk vs reward mostly
Because you'll get more value out of the reward later
no much use of the gold + the other item in like ely
Kinda hate playing any games with timer
It's more worth it to fight him earlier than later
Atleast there's no timed event in the game (except heat ofc)
hades timer is chill after some practice
I've fought charon often in 32 heat
yes I leave with like 30 seconds but whatever, funny
I got 5 sacked at 40 heat and still won with a couple mins left iirc lmao
Yeah I'm guessing it gives you the discount thing I saw in steam achievements
Really thought I just had to pay 300 to get a discount on the whole run
Got tped and was like oh no
you didn't see the "borrow"?
I kinda knew that you can fight charon in the game but thought it was after hades fight when you have 10+ wins
Btw lot of things have been changed since release ?
Like regular balancing patches ?
do you mean from early access or from 1.0.0
Both
I mainly know the funny ones from ea but from 1.0 not much really
maybe a few bugs but the main change was eris buff from 8 seconds to 4 and sigil of the dead now being 2 bars instead of 4
and most bugs that we have now were discovered after they were done with the game
Great to know that I didn't miss some stupidly funny patch with broken strats
artemis used to have lot of boons that are now hermes'
and mirage shot was a common boon of hers before
merciful end had divine dash as a pre req before
Devs actively nerfing roguelike be like 
i really wonder why they gave bass a better reward than sturgeon
Fish racism smh
hould i say yes to meg and than
Follow thine heart
Rama aspect effect called shared suffering
If you hit anything, all the enemies with the mark take a % of your attack dmg
(is 60% at max lvl but I never remember the rest)
iirc it starts at 30% ?
summary of my latest runs
also damn I didn't expect the asphodel erebus to have 500000 gorgon heads with AK 47
the most annoying enemies progression of mine is flamewheel -> greatshield -> brightsword -> longbow -> gorgon -> drakon->wavemaker -> witch
funny how the more you play, the more annoying tartarus become
chariot deserved a special place in hell because it's always annoying regardless of how much you play
Ythabjs it was in the trailer for hades
Theseus was annoying cuz he blocks so I had to wait till he threw his spear to damage him
After that I died hard lost all my 2 death defiance
In that fight
😭
Took me a while to beat them too
After a while you get better at just attacking him from behind
yeah you don't have to wait, just get behind him
That does leave the risk of getting skewered by his attacks, but what can you do
You can bait him into spamming the spin attack too
Yeah and that when you can hit him with the ares call
Ah I will try that next time
ares call 
Athena better, but it’s good to get close too ig
If only ares had a call
But why go for ares when you can have Athena?
when life gives you lemon moment
I See, this is the best lemonade you can make with it
Ap2..
The big bonks do be satisfying
Shame her minor call isn't the best for regular encounters
I still need to do a Eris zeus attack + support fire call build where I somehow manage to get great call in normal encounters
Yeah cuz they are the only place where you'll get a full call 
Her full call isn't great for normal encounters cus they don't have very much health either 
Another version of overkill
Since it's multiple arrows they go over to another enemy if the one targetted is dead
Yeah but
Still pretty bad
If u get it max at all for normal encounters there won't be very many ads left anyways
Probably not making use of a lot of the dmg from her max call
Just using zeus or dio minor calls for example throughout that kinda encounter is just better methinks
not really, arty full call is still great in normal chamber
not dio or zeus level of great but still legit
if the targeted enemy is killed, it will find the next one
The thing is how rare is to get full call in normal encounters
You might get it if you have like max jury summons cp and AP but still yeah you almost never get it
Once my greater arti call killed 3 lernie heads at once 
arty call at lernie gang
Smair arti call for max efficiency
Coolest thing the game ever did was give a woman the anime protagonist haircut
Which woman is that?
alecto?
Persephone
hey guys just wanna ask something
the sword has a special???
cause I keep finding boons for specials attacks
but when I hold the attack down nothing happens
Special is on an entirely different button
Q on kbm
kbm or controller?
yo i need help, i played hades on my xbox but then it broke and i am switching to pc.
i dont wanna start from scratch. does anyone have a save file that has escaped liked once or twice?
You could ask in #h1-tech-support I know there are a few pre-made saves you could get
this is moreso for #h1-for-new-players , this channel is generally for people who have reached the credits
if you have or dont care,then i wont bother you
i see, my bad mate
you good tho
why the hell dosen divived by death start for me?
just got 2 legendaries from the one trial 
So Y’know when you look at your boons and you click the icon, a pin drops on it? Curious on if that actually does anything aside from just dropping a visual pin.
You select what 5 boons you see enlarged on the center of the victory screen
When will Poseidon give me the mission Sea-God's Spite? I gave him 6 nectars already. Is there some kind of secret pre-requisite?
is prob just dialogue rng
if you want to unlock his favor you don't need to do that prophecy fwiw
I could've guess, I just wanted the mission hahahaha. I will finish to max the reaming keepsakes, and then go out only with Poseidon's keepsake
Also, it's just my imagination, or Teseus' 2nd phase has a lower defense?
during his entire god call he doesn't hold the shield if that's what you mean
No, I meant, does he get more damage?
nah
Damn it I had the final boss down to 1/4th HP
With Skelios' keepsake, the fight will be more forgiving
Did it once; can do it again!
yep
Sadly I only had 1 defiance
did you use aphrodite's cast
I don't remember but it did good damage
Is Skelly's keepsake basically a defiance?
Been using Cerberus's one
Fixed hp but yeah
Apperantly if you lose it and then get in to elysum chamber and refill all defiance that one becomes a normal defiance lol
random bug ig
Cool detail I think!
Hey guys, does having multiple of a group of boon requirements up your chances of getting said boon or is your chance maxxed out as soon as you fill the condition at all?
Say I want Killing Freeze, and I have say Frost Flourish, would getting say Mistral Dash up my chances of recieving Killing Freeze in a later roll, or keep them the exact same?
technically higher chance because youre removing a boon from the pool
so like you dont have mistral dash taking up a slot
Ahhhh clever actually
So if I'm understanding, Killing Freeze will always have an equal chance as everything else to appear once it's in the pool regardless of how many requirements are met, but taking any boons out of the pool technically raises the chances of the rest
(My addendum question would be when you wash away a boon does that boon re-enter the possible offerings?)
can I have a easy and good chiron build
sadly chiron is just bad
but i think either dire misfortune/heartbreak flourish are good
the primary one is low tolerance
heartbreak strike dio special
dire misfortune is a meme
yeah but rama =/= chiron
well like
demeter can be widely applicable
she just has no good builds centered around her cores
Yes, I've sold and rebought a boon twice in one run before.
no great duos, and her better duos are just outclassed by other duos
her attack and special are just lower percentages than aphrodite's, her cast sucks and needs a duo to work (see above point), her dash sucks, her call sucks
her only niche is supporting boons
nourished soul is great for an unpommable and casual runs in general (sucks at high heat with UC and lc4)
ravenous will and snow burst are great on cast builds
Stop, she's already dead
man
XD
every time i try hera im amazed people enjoy playing this
technically yes, although some stuff works differently
priority boons (attack, special, cast, and dash) are always offered if all of them aren't full. so if you don't have a cast and special, you will always be offered at least one of those whenever you pick up a boon. you might also get a replace so that's inconvenient sometimes
duos are also a higher priority, so that might get offered to you as well
And just to be sure, how BAD is our god of wines?
maybe she needs to git gud lmao
he's not bad, he's just consistent
consistent stuff generally have lower dps but you wont have to worry about your build sucking
his call is very good tho
just be wary of overwriting hangover and you're fine
Imagine dissing on Dionysus when Poseidon exist
if you want to center your build on hangover, you need to pom your hangover source as much as possible since it's linear pom scaling
and get one of the hangover duos
but if you dont get one of the duos, then it's fine
duos not including splitting headache
his duos aren't great iirc, but some of the are good
ice wine is always good
Dio is great
scintillating feast isn't too bad, helps get more jolted procs and whatnot
you dont really ever aim for exclusive access but when you do get it it's pretty neat
i think the rest of them are bad tho lmao
second best call, great duos, strong drink, that one nectar boon, and I've been liking the damage reduction too
Didn't know there is some linear pom scaling!
do you want like 0.3 hangover increases lol
IRL, yes
lmao fair enough
oh yeah he has a ton of unpommables and most of them sell for UC as well so that's great
Well, I guess critical everything is the same thing with pom
!!!
to be clear that doesn't make it much better lmao
Insanely worth
it's 1% increases starting at like 4 poms lmao
Wait what
maybe earlier
nvm straight linear
still ass tho
yeah some stuff has linear pom scaling but the only worthwhile one is hangover
pressure points is second but the gap between those two is like massive in terms of value lmao
10 to 15% reduction is ass for you?
also if i had 5 poms i would not put them into bronze skin
Yeah... I get the feeling
It's truly a dps game after all
Who care, you can't die
no clue
Even lava just cool off under your feet at that point
Lava would like to have a word with you
maybe
Trap damage doesn’t get reduced by bronze skin
I don’t think beo speedrun enjoy dio that much
Just for the non pomable
yeah dio is good for unpommables
Can I say that I don't like call
Athena is cool
Yeah, you can rarely use them
Boss BS you with invincibility phase
Did you just said wait?
Wait while other stuff happen
running around chasing 2 dudes
My typical asphodel lmao
But i suck at anyheat so my typical anyheat is also the same
Thus I play heat to feel less suck
My level is em4
but u need the first one

Play hestia and cry from ely onward is the solution
Wdym
Achilles is pretty banger for the first 2 biomes as well
i was doing chaos 56 for hotw
Real
Em4
ri2 dc2
Ri4 ap0 em4 hunting blades
Em4 cshot is baller territory and I’m not cool enough for it
Thanks for the confirmation!
And thank you for the details!
haelp
I want a sub 10
how do I do that
I gone as fast as I could this run
I got ME in the shop right before lernie, which is the earliest yet
but the text says bonus move speed
yeah that sucks

i don't want to go that fast
you can buy more than zagsword movespeed bonus for 10 dollars
just sub-10 is enough for me
ichor?
well sub10 is free if u have a decent build
and half competent play and rng
if its a 2sack its probably sub10able
also in that run
just gotta practice ur play a little
my unlucky ass got 3sack
and I gone for some ehh boons because some prophecies are really close
and I took them
is ME a good build
ME nem
"avoid flurry slash" (me: takes flurry slash)
bonus movement speed doesn't really mean that much unless you get hyper sprint + rush delivery
and for zag sword, it's only good if it's at least rare rush delivery
the video should be a good basis to get you sub10
ty
every aspect can sub10 pretty easily as long as you have basic speedrunning fundamentals
just aspect practice and enough luck should get you 1 sub10 run
before I move on, I want epilogue, deathly theme, sub10, and 32 heat
all that should be easy enough
epilogue just takes a lot of time
idr which one deathly theme is but shouldn't take that long
I have already completed 69 (yes, that's actually true), successful runs, all keepsakes, 1.8k gems
and my highest heat so far is 17
5000 gems
yeah
a bit pain but doable
I should be able to get there when I get epilogue
there's a guide pinned in #h1-high-heat-strategies for 32 heat so that should be easy enough
vanquisher's keep income should be enough
and occasionally sell off a titan's blood for 200 gems, which is the worst deal ever but hey
also
are those good goals to set
before I move on to other games
yeah all that is pretty reasonable
anything I'm missing
sub10 and 32 heat can be challenging but not impossible
I already voided all 3 contracts, nyx's favor, and unlocked themes
sub10 doesn't give you any rewards but 32 heat does lmao
maxing everyone's bonds i guess
that sounds painful
I have arte bond for some reason
i mean the epilogue gets you most of the way there tbh
prolly because I don't know bonds work back then
I was like: oh wait I can gift again
voiding the contracts should already max bonds or at least make it close
I have bond with achilles
the other 3 I don't have
also is gifting bouldy worth it for speedruns
its not like ur losing time
then save it
which is somehow less than the 10 ambrosia I have
bouldy bonus generally isn't like run defining unless it's movement speed and you get hyper delivery
also should I just gift it to the olympians so epilogue is running in the background
like eurydice hits rush delivery
and you have hypersprint
yeah might as well
and bouldy bonuses, and zag sword, and heroic +50% move speed
gifting gods in speedrun might lose you some time but since you can only gift like 4 gods in a run mostly, it's pretty marginal time loss and wont matter for a sub10
and ichor
i mean if you get all that then the problem is that you're using zag sword lmfao
should I go for the 32 heat first or the speedrun
doesnt matter tbh
whatever you want
like i said, the timeloss is pretty negligible
should I do 32 heat sub-10?
for sub10, if that time loss really does matter then that's kinda sad lmao
i mean sure
it's pretty doable
if you're skilled enough lmao
really?
ah
actually might be difficult
there's the catch
it's like
can you do it reliably
equivalent to 40 heat
what's your 32 heat best time
i haven't done it unmodded iirc but i reckon i can
oh ok
i've only done 32 heat speed once
modded
but i did do it 40 heat modded lmao
i got sub8 iirc
does rng matter for 32 heat or sub10
tbh not that much
like yeah stuff needs to go your way ofc
but it's not like "i didn't sub10 because i didn't get the duo in tartarus"
also, any tips for 32 heat
free rooms are always nice ofc but doable to sub10 without it
pinned in #h1-high-heat-strategies
because I sure as heck aint clearing the game in under 20 mins with zeus shield
i have a guide pinned there on top
i mean practice
what's your current time
or like pb with zeus shield
if you're at 15 mins you're good
doable tbh
not good
are you doing zeus^2?
yeah that's the problem
pretty sure my zeus² pb is 17:5x
it's so much more consistent
that's like a marginal difference in time
zeus^2 works fine
32 heat should be pretty easy
for zeus^2 at least
I just want 32heat anything
zeus^2 works fine
okay?
probably like 2nd best aspect for it since it's a shield
actually nvm
beo and hestia exist so like 3rd best
but it completed 64heat
I'm learning beo
hestia is better until like probably idk 45 in terms of ease of use
I once got a 18:4x with beo flood flare arte-pos duo
zeus is def stronger but if you dont know how to use it that well then hestia is a walk in the park compared to zeus
no clue how to hestia
and also did not max hestia
beo should be an easy sub10 and 32 heat
just reload every shot and then shoot
repeat
special every now and then
hit reload and dash/special at the same time to cancel the animation
yeah, expected that
beo, zeus, and hestia are probably the easiest for 32 heat
or like anything you're most comfortable with
well, I like zeus shield more because safety
then use it
I can reliably be nigh invincible by shield turning
I once stood in the middle of a timed section, holding up the shield and cleared it hitless
sounds about right
I am of the opinion zagshield is the best sheild
assuming you get good hammers
I am of the opinion modded is the best gamemode
true
cast 
cast builds are quite literally some of the strongest builds in the game lmao
hera, achiles, and beo will all easily get you sub10
beo will easily get you 32 heat
achilles?
i uhh, still am not accustomed to a cast build
I usually use the cast for boiling blood only
that's because you play kbm
150% more damage on cast kinda good
unsafe for a shield
technically speaking beo does have iframe bugs but also like it kinda just nukes everything
it's slow to start the bull rush, and you play by dashing into the enemies
dash strike into the dragon rush
problem is, unless you get a grasp from chaos, it doesn't oneshot everything in ely
because flood flare knocks stuff away just enough to only hit once or twice on all enemies
no I meant 32heat
you dont need chaos for 32 heat either
wait so why flood flare then?
because mirage shot is bugged on it
what's the biggest area for beo flare
uh
trippy maybe?
