#

prob just need more practice optimzing the damage rotation tho tbh

mild crypt
#

If it makes any difference most of my time struggles are standard enemies, especially the roided kangaroos that are the Asphodel enemies

latent moon
#

yeah that tracks

#

obligitory curb your asphodel

#

you kinda have to be patient with them and wait for them to attack first

mild crypt
#

I can beat Alecto in like 15 seconds and go 30 on Lernie if I have a call, Asterius and Short One I beat quickly by doing zeus shield special tracking nonsense and end phase 2 theseus before he can do anything

latent moon
#

yeah normal rooms are generally the biggest time loss

#

i think a good goal for speed atm would be to hit the 20 min mark for a clear

#

5 mins per biome, basically shooting for td3 time

rustic vale
#

That one is fast if you’re fast

latent tide
#

What's good hades nation

latent moon
#

as long as you know the basics of speedrunning then you'll be fine

latent tide
#

Good morning for the people who are in that time

rustic vale
#

Tbh even if you aren’t hitting 5m for every floor yet

latent moon
#

pausing when making decisions and taking free rooms basically

rustic vale
#

Hitting 0s on td isn’t the end of the world

latent tide
#

Does pausing stop timer in speedruns

rustic vale
#

For in game time yes

#

For real time action, no

latent moon
#

(it's real time attack)

rustic vale
#

Same thing

latent moon
#

but yeah, if you turn on the in game timer in the settings you'll know when the timer pauses

#

that timer and the tight deadline timer follow the same rules

mild crypt
#

If I took all the free rooms I found I probably would shave a few minutes honestly

latent moon
#

yeah lmao

mild crypt
#

I don't always take shops because I have no money and want stuff, or I'm grinding to buy the titans blood/diamond at the end

mild crypt
#

Also how to get better at fishing? The only times I ever managed to get a perfect catch is when I managed to predict when the signal would show

jagged shoal
#

fishing is a combination of reaction time and a little bit of knowledge

#

the two biggest pieces of info about fishing that helped me out is 1. ||If it hasn't bit the first 3 times, the fourth time it will bite,|| and 2. ||If nothing happens for an amount of time (I think 2 seconds but I haven't read up in a long while and i just do it by feel so idk, if it has stayed still for long) this time will not be a bite, bites are only quick, or relatively quick [If it's the first bob/bite tho do stay on your toes because it's not as clear when this timer starts as the end of a bob is]||

rustic vale
#

Depend on your ears

#

If you can

jagged shoal
#

oh and 4, if you highly prefer a visual cue rather than an audio one, i've heard some people focus above the bobber for the big FLASHy sparkle, instead of looking at the bobber, which has other, non-bite movements

rustic vale
#

oh 100%

#

The flash is way more indicative

#

Oh and 5th thing, not neccesarily about catching the fish themselves, but more on the mechanics:
Non perfect catches are 50:50 common/uncommon fish (or whatever the terminology is)
Perfect catches are 50:50 uncommon/rare fish (or whatever the proper terminology is)

jagged shoal
#

Common Rare and Legendary

rustic vale
#

It’s been a while

jagged shoal
#

But yeah, if you're able to react quickly you get the rare or legendary fish of the river, better rewards than common obv, and if you're specifically after a common fish, try to delay yourself just a bit

mild crypt
#

I've fished at least 50 times and have not once been able to get a perfect from reaction time alone, I'll try the other strats and see if that works

jagged shoal
#

yeah, good luck!

#

the first 2 tips are my go-to's so i hope they help out

rustic vale
#

I think it’s pretty common for people to catch the audio que faster then the eyes catch the flash

jagged shoal
#

audio reaction time is genuinely faster than visual reaction time in general

mild crypt
#

So basically how it goes after a while is that you're able to beat Hades without wearing out the acorn but lose 3/4s of your health to the giant butterfly ball

latent moon
#

em4 moment

mild crypt
#

Haven't gotten quite that far, beat it once and used two death defies

#

Maybe one day

jagged shoal
#

yeah with that room you gotta use all your dps stuff

#

it's kind of a race laugheline

#

if its the side goons hitting you the most and you've got a ranged option it's worth picking off the floating eyeballs briefly

mild crypt
#

+100% darkness is a blessing

latent moon
#

oh that butterfly ball lmao

#

if you have a summon it's pretty easy since summons can strip the armor, but otherwise yeah it's a pain in the ass

mild crypt
#

Just bought and listened to the God of the Dead theme and then Than shows up for the bedroom scene, made for a very intense session

obsidian linden
#

Hello

#

how are you today peoples ?

#

I have a new dilema of choice

#

Eris, choosing between keeping Epic lightning Strike or Heroic Deadly Strike

lavish sorrel
#

Zeus attack

stiff obsidian
#

try deadly strike for fun

obsidian linden
#

(my other choice is choosing between normal Deadly Flourish and pressure point)

#

at least, I have the first part of Clockets

latent moon
#

easy take for deadly flourish

#

on eris, there's never a reason to not have lightning strike

stone rune
#

any % is

obsidian linden
#

bs

stone rune
#

ok

obsidian linden
#

now time for the headache

#

next room choice

#

hammer or Aphrodite

#

I still don't have my Special Boon

#

but I have Cluster Bomb

rose roost
#

hammer and pray for rocket bomb

obsidian linden
#

Flurry Fire

#

Spread Fire

#

Seeking Fire

#

:/

#

kill me

#

Spread Fire is good ?

rose roost
#

not on eris

obsidian linden
#

hello Flurry

latent moon
#

ngl if you took deadly strike earlier you might as well take spread fire lmao

stiff obsidian
#

Deadly strike is goos

#

Good

#

Single target is comparable

#

With like support fire

stone rune
#

ok what if

#

you just got support fire

#

with normal

stiff obsidian
#

What's the fun in fhat

tepid light
#

i just wish spread fire worked properly with hestia

stone rune
#

i think it already works properly

#

in that it doesnt ruin your attack for no benefit

tepid light
#

that's

#

not what i meant, jazz

stone rune
#

well what could spread fire do for hestia

tepid light
#

....make hestia's powered attack also be a close-ranged shotgun blast for the sake of consistency?

formal orbit
#

I would skip second hammer for hestia if that was the case

stiff obsidian
formal orbit
#

mandatory screw hazard bomb on eris

#

cshot on zeus

#

cursed slash on sword

tepid light
stiff obsidian
#

why would you ruin something for the sake of consistency

tepid light
#

what do you mean, 'ruin'

spread fire generally isn't taken anyway, especially not on hestia

so the least you could do is make it feel consistent

stiff obsidian
#

I take spread fire it's quite alright

#

Since u already have a % atk

tepid light
#

look i just find it very awkward to have one attack be a long-range snipe and the rest of your attacks be close-range blasts

formal orbit
#

spread fire warp your entire run around it, playing hestia pretty much contradict that gun blazing playstyle

stone rune
#

what

stiff obsidian
#

It ruins the point of running hestia

stone rune
#

dude

formal orbit
#

but yeah, hestia empowered shot is just built different

stone rune
#

in my 54 heat run on hestia i got spread fire

#

i was very happy that it did not completely ruin my run

#

i would rather it still did not do that

stiff obsidian
#

Now if it made the first shot close range , but also x6 or 10 smg or whatever

#

I'd use it

stone rune
#

yeah if it still quadrupled the base damage sure

tepid light
stone rune
#

but that would be op instesd

tepid light
#

what did you guys think i meant

stone rune
#

600 base damage is way too much

formal orbit
stone rune
#

the highest base damage in the game is 240 lol

#

or 400 if u count multi hit

tepid light
#

did you guys think i wanted spread fire to just completely erase hestia's bonus damage on first attack or something

stiff obsidian
#

Yes

stone rune
#

yeah?

stiff obsidian
#

U didnt specify rly

stone rune
#

theres no other reasonable interpretation of the combination of stats

#

they both set base damage to 150 or 40

tepid light
#

ok i'm going to do something that jazz always does to me

formal orbit
stone rune
#

not +300% or +1400%

tepid light
#

well then fine let me clarify

formal orbit
#

+1400% sound funny

stone rune
#

its 15x

tepid light
#

I wish that spread fire made hestia first attack a close-range blast while still keeping the bonus damage

#

clear now?

stone rune
#

well u have to say what u mean by bonus damage

#

spread fire adds 30 base

#

or multiplies by 4

tepid light
#

???????????

stone rune
#

or just sets to 40

#

both of them are setter things

stiff obsidian
stone rune
#

not modifiers to an existing number

tepid light
#

ok, i see my mistake

#

fine, that's on me and i apologize

#

but i still don't see why people assumed i wanted spread fire to just remove hestia's schtick

instead of the more logical "turn attack into blast but still give bonus damage"

stone rune
#

well like

#

because hestia is

#

Make base damage 150

#

and spread fire is

#

Make base damage 40

#

so its hard to combine those two in a way other than resulting in 150 or 40

stiff obsidian
#

I wonder what u think about seeking fire for hestia

stone rune
#

spoilers

stiff obsidian
#

What is that, I can't watch it rn

stone rune
#

not that good

#

its a haelian video

#

zagrail seeking fire

stiff obsidian
#

Ik

stone rune
#

pretty sure with aph atk

stiff obsidian
#

Oh zagrail

stone rune
#

well zagrail is in thumbnail

#

i watched it a while ago and it wasnt hestia

stiff obsidian
#

Yea I can't tell aspects by image

stone rune
#

theyre all easy

#

rails r pretty simple

#

eris is the awful disgusting garish one

stiff obsidian
#

I can tell apart Lucifer and eris

stone rune
#

hestia is the nice looking one with purple

tepid light
stone rune
#

zagrail has the nice structures and that orange blue color scheme

tepid light
#

even if what you're doing is adjusting base damage numbers

#

instead of directly giving a bonus

stone rune
#

i guess not

tepid light
#

well a thousand apologies to you, oh hades genius

stiff obsidian
#

I still don't know rail base damage

stone rune
#

average eris player

tepid light
#

but now that that's out of the way

#

i will once again say

stone rune
#

its 10 attack and 60 special

tepid light
#

"i wish spread fire worked with hestia"

stiff obsidian
#

Oh

tepid light
#

and i hope now the point is clear

stone rune
#

i mean sure

#

it would be funny

#

sounds pretty easy to instaphase dad with

#

you just need like

#

800 additive

#

free

tepid light
#

yes i agree, it would be fun and lead to some satisfying runs

#

i am glad we are finally on the same page

stone rune
#

it would definitely not be balanced

#

but it would be funny

tepid light
#

i care more about the funny than the balance

formal orbit
#

beo player talking about balance

stone rune
#

also someone on reddit said that i was lying about aphrodite being good because they checked my speedrun videos and i only used aphrodite in 1/5 of them

#

🤯

formal orbit
#

ngl, aphro suck

stone rune
#

like turns out i dont take aph on beo

#

who could have guessed

formal orbit
#

old meta was pash snurst beo

#

wild time indeed

stone rune
#

i also think its funny they clicked and watched 5 of my speedruns to see if i took aphrodite

formal orbit
#

I could see you took it in an achilles run, open sweet nectar and smair

stone rune
#

its ok on achilles

#

u can get like

#

sweet mectar yea

#

heart rend i guess

#

if u grt it early it can deal dmg in tart with rarity

#

dude

#

im watching thru an rta run of mine to see where i screwed up and i have this phantom image in my mind of the pause screen

#

and im like “i paused 5 seconds ago”

#

i go back and i didnt

#

i think im going insane

formal orbit
#

what playing hades over 1k hours does to your mind

stiff obsidian
#

i think of my schedule in splits

stone rune
#

you have a schedule?

stiff obsidian
#

like

#

irl

stone rune
#

yea

stiff obsidian
#

not an actual one but like if i have to get rdy for class and im rdy early i tell myself im ahead of pace

stone rune

#

Is it stupid to farm 0 heat for Darkness to max out mirror, before continuing the heat grind? im at 3-5 heat with most weapons

#

i feel like i otherwise get so little it will take too long to max out the fate perk and epic boon % chance

mild crypt
#

I mean you could also farm for gems while you're at it

#

Just found out recently that Chaos gem and darkness reward boons can stack

#

Got a 206% bonus including the boon from Poseidon

formal orbit
#

the fastest way to farm darkness is the speedrunning way

#

start poseidon and pray for chaos

#

unlock darkness drop from bosses

#

so Force Overtime 2, Extreme Measure 2 and Tight Deadline

#

at least 10 heat i guess

mild crypt
#

I stick to 0 heat just because it's easier and I'm missing out on a ton of resources if I fail on Hades

rapid zinc
#

gotchaa

lavish sorrel
stiff obsidian
#

i reset sometimes

#

if im getting bad vibes or wake up late i just stay back instead of completing the run

latent tide
#

is athena call good?

#

i never usually pick it up

silk stone
#

if the god gauge bar is full ig

#

impervious for a while

charred igloo
#

i like Aphrodite call the best just because you get that 2500 damage

split vigil
#

I only use Athena’s call if I need to get past hades’ 360 laser really quick - otherwise I just like to use literally anything else

charred igloo
#

also i got to the point where i got Orpheus and Eurydice back together and Achilles and
Patroclus back together. gonna miss seeing orpheus in the house of hades tho

formal orbit
#

Personal tier list of call

silk stone
#

i like ares

#

im based

formal orbit
#

Dio = zeus > athena = pos > dem > ares > arty > aphro

legit why does the last aspect gotta be so rng bro

#

i needed 3 runs for guan yu and i be doing even more for arthur like

#

cmon bruh

#

i filled the requirments

#

just give it to mee

tardy aurora
#

what is the best keepsake for each area? what to start a run with, then when and what do i change it out for?

lone kestrel
#

To unlock Demeter's final heart, do we have to do something special or just talk to her enough.

mint coral
#

Which regarding that, dem counts as one of the 6 gods you need to max for the epilogue as soon as you reach the lock

lone kestrel
#

Already did that a long time ago.

#

Guess I just need to keep trying then.

mint coral
#

You got the actual epilogue or the credits, just making sure

lone kestrel
#

Actual epilogue, ||went through the feast and all of that.||

mint coral
#

Oh aight

#

Yeah rng time then

lone kestrel
#

Thx, just wanted to make sure.

lavish sorrel
#

but other than that based

stiff obsidian
#

zeus better than dio imo since you wont be locked out of it if ur using dio atk/spec, and zeus support boons would buff ur atk/spec as well if ur using it

tardy aurora
#

is storm lightning a duo boon or is it rare? its last i need for zues prophecy

mint coral
#

You need atk or cast to open it

#

Is a normal boon

#

Don't take special/dash or call from him cuz that opens 2-3 extra boons

tardy aurora
#

so take zues atk or his cast but nothing else for the best odds at it?

mint coral
#

Yeah

#

If after opening it doesn't appear on the next zeus boon but static discharge does take that at least

#

His curse has higher priority than other boons

sour fog
#

you can check pre requisites for every boon in codex if you get the upgrade from work orders

tardy aurora
tardy aurora
#

why do the gods help theseus? like if its a test sure, if its not then they either favour him for some reason and idk why zeus does as he is a bit of a egotistical for not wanting humans to live then changing his mind and favouring a statistical maniac

mint coral
#

Cuz its funny

tardy aurora
#

yeah ig but what would be funnier is if zues says somin like "Ironic" and just starts laughing as his image fades

tepid light
tardy aurora
tepid light
#

understandably so

tardy aurora
#

the fact all the gods just drop what their doing to help theseus is out of character, how is dionysus not just plain drunk out of his mind for theseus beck and call same for zeus, how is he not off on earth with a "sidechick" or victim and etc.

#

athena? ye she would be either planning and doing the equivelant of sending "k"

tepid light
tardy aurora
#

do they leave an imprint of an essence?

rose roost
#

it's just... gameplay

tardy aurora
#

or do they sense it?

tardy aurora
tepid light
mint coral
#

There's also what Nyx is doing with hiding your presence and all of that so the gods don't get the full picture of what's going on

tardy aurora
#

now i think of it... is it nyx and the fact of the underworld being the underworld that does it?

rose roost
tardy aurora
#

btw what fury sister is ur least fav fight?

mint coral
#

Regarding how books work I always treat them as a physical thing that they drop cuz charon also helps carrying them

drowsy linden
tardy aurora
#

i see myself losing 1 DD to tisi a good amount of the time

vale oak
vale oak
# tardy aurora a hassle?

yea maybe but they can probably help zagreus while still performing thier godly activities or whatever, it's barely a big deal for them

upper wolf
#

Greek gods ain't omnipotent

#

By principle you can't have multiple omnipotent entities

#

Otherwise you get into a paradox

#

ie unstoppable force vs immovable object

vale oak
#

omnipotent was the wrong word, i meant helping zagreus is probably an insignificant task, so they can do it while continuing their godly lives

upper wolf
#

Oh

#

Yeah I agree with that

last veldt
tardy aurora
#

how do i get the final 4 mini bosses on the minor prophecy wanton ransacking

mint coral
#

Idk which ones you are missing so my guess is enter the miniboss chambers in styx

drowsy linden
upper wolf
#

kinda same, except I still find Tis the easiest by far

#

Then I think meg is harder than alecto, but it's a toss-up

#

also depends on what the side furies are

tardy aurora
mint coral
#

Tis is annoying more than anything

upper wolf
#

tisiphone doing 32 damage for free if you don't have your dash ready is harsh

stiff obsidian
#

the only fury name i know is meg

idk the names of the other 2

Get tony'd

tardy aurora
#

i hate it, i always avoid styx minibosses cuz of it

mint coral
#

But yeah there's more minibosses

tardy aurora
#

like if they glow then no

mint coral
#

Also minibosses are easier than normal chambers outside of tony lol

tardy aurora
#

like it overwhelms me fighting the one you call tony

mint coral
#

Fair

tardy aurora
#

legit it is a pain, the floor is acid, rats tht blend into floor, the boss pops around more than hades, and the big rats just is too much

tardy aurora
mint coral

#

also mort doesn't do damage either don't @ me

mint coral
#

Lmao

tardy aurora
#

ever do a melee weapon run like gloves or sword and u face a megagorgon who just wont stay above land?

drowsy linden
# drowsy linden ||skelly, meg, than, dusa, achilles, sisy|| are the characters

all their use cases in case you wanted to know them:
meg: ||damage, but requires skill||
than: ||big damage, not much skill(just timing)||
achilles: ||slightly less damage than than's, but much easier to use||
dusa:||decent for regular chambers||
skelly:||if you have a weapon that takes 2 billion years to charge and does like 4k damage||
bouldy:||farming resources, hoarding slash build||

tardy aurora
#

do i prioritse it over epilogue?

#

also i just finished zues prophecy so yeah

drowsy linden
#

epilogue doesnt really give anything

#

besides the prophecy resources ig

mint coral
#

Knowing Than you'll get progress with epilogue whie waiting for him anyways

tardy aurora
drowsy linden
#

bond comes with the companion

drowsy linden
mint coral
#

Than's favor is basically getting certain dialogues

tardy aurora
#

oh so umm dumping like 5 nectar into him wasnt needed?

drowsy linden
#

you still need nectar

mint coral
#

With how the dialogue system works + how often Than decides to actually talk to you most people have issues getting the lock to open

drowsy linden
#

companions are unllocked after the lock

mint coral
#

The companion is given on first ambrosia

#

So yeah not a waste

tardy aurora
#

so i got 2 options on my run rn, rivalry chamber with zues/poseidon or an athena chamber

drowsy linden
#

what aspect

tardy aurora
#

chiron

mint coral
#

What boon do you have on special

tardy aurora
#

ill check

#

doom

mint coral
#

Oh

tardy aurora
#

and i got explo arrow upgrade

mint coral
#

Ngl I wasn't expecting that lmao

tardy aurora
#

well im gon be using spec a lot so may aswell get more dmg

drowsy linden
#

explosive doesnt directly add damage

tardy aurora
drowsy linden
#

its really only good if you want big number, or are using triple shot

tardy aurora
#

and i needed for prophecy

mint coral
#

I mean chiron doom "works" if you get dire misfortune

tardy aurora
#

i claim when i can

mint coral
#

But idk if you have it

tardy aurora
#

i dony

#

dont

#

norm i avoid clash chambers but i wanna know should i pick clash or athena

cinder tartan
#

i remember getting a build with chiron that had doom on the attack and poseidon on the special and it was incredibly good

mint coral
#

Do you only have explosive shot rn?

tardy aurora
#

doin me good

mint coral
#

What biome you are in

tardy aurora
#

asphodel

mint coral
#

Aight funny answer would be take athena for attack, hope for twin or triple on 2nd hammer and disregard the special this run bouldy

#

Also what lvl is your chiron anyways

drowsy linden
tardy aurora
#

ive got the mirror aspect i think it was u who said to change from purp

drowsy linden
#

which mirror talent

mint coral
#

Dark foresight?

#

I mentioned it earlier

drowsy linden
#

df is very cool

tardy aurora
#

makes it so hammer boons and more are more common

mint coral
#

Yeah foresight

loud orchid
#

So I met ||Tisiphone|| for the first time last night... that was fun zaglol

tardy aurora
tardy aurora
#

i prefer meg as i can sweep her aside with no dmg

#

alecto not so bad neither are tisi

#

if i can ill avoid both

loud orchid
#

I felt like a set of bowling pins and Tisi was the bowling ball.

drowsy linden
#

thats how encountering a new enemy in rogues is like

tardy aurora
#

tisi is a feeling of dread when you see her chambers apear earlier

drowsy linden
#

i feel like tis is free now

tardy aurora
#

meg is free to me

#

alecto is a bad time

drowsy linden
loud orchid
#

Megara is fun, especially when you realize you can reflect her Spray and Play laser attack right back at her with Athena's special boon with the bow.

tardy aurora
#

thats the neat part. i dont plan to

i somehow forgot who ||tisiphone|| was so i had to google her dusa

Also dmg may be lacking if you don't have poms on it

And find impending doom if it shows up later

tardy aurora

Good enough ig

That's like 100/120 dmg no

tardy aurora

how are you meant to beat than by 15?

mint coral
#

get a good build basically

#

also poseidon stuff helps to knock enemies away of the instant death circle

tardy aurora
#

ok so far i got a hammer with 2 prophecy upgrades on bow

#

is 2 side by side shots better than consecutive with explo

#

im thinking 2 shots better but idk

mint coral
#

twin shot vs uh what hammer do you mean

tardy aurora
#

concentrated volley

mint coral
#

consecutive makes me think concentrated volley

#

lmao

#

if you wanna go all on your attack yeah take twin

tardy aurora
#

bcz uh as it is, like 300 per full shot

#

so 600 a shot on bosses with doom stacking special

#

id say sollid dps imo

latent moon
#

Conc volley is bad unless it's on chiron

tardy aurora
mint coral
#

this is chiron with explosive shot lol

latent moon
#

Ah

mint coral
#

and doom chiron

tardy aurora
#

explosive doom

latent moon
#

I guess that works lmao

#

Conc volley is a good pick then

tardy aurora
#

an amateur with a amateur build

mint coral
#

wait is doom on your attack or not

tardy aurora
#

and i build with whatev i get

#

no its on spec

mint coral
#

aight aight

#

twin + explosive works anyways lol

#

oh also are you dash striking?

tardy aurora
#

no not rn but should i? i kill most things standing still

mint coral
#

dash strikes charge faster at the expense of some less base dmg

tardy aurora
#

btw i also got deflect atk

#

so uh idk if tht matters

#

just got athena ares duo too

mint coral
#

lmao nice

tardy aurora
#

just got epic impending doom

#

welp ig beating than by 15 is easier with chiron build of exploding doom

tardy aurora
#

mm1 with aspect of chiron explo doom could have got me to end but i screwed up

mint coral

you can do that with dad's spear too

lone kestrel
#

In this single run, I finally got lightning phalanx (it's about the 5th run trying to get it), unlocked Demeter's final heart and Patroclus gave me the go ahead to help him and Achilles.

#

It's everything I've been waiting for.

undone tundra
#

huge

lone kestrel
#

I would like to start raising the heat on my other weapons but the 20% bonus keeps going to rail like every other use it seems.

mint coral
#

just ignore it dusa

lone kestrel
#

But, it's 20% more.

mint coral
#

is just 20%

lone kestrel
#

How can I simply allow myself to gather resourses less efficiently when there's so much to unlock?

mint coral
#

just take the pos boon or an eclipse boon from chaos and you'll have more than that

#
  • it will barely matter if you are doing fresh heat
#

darkness from bosses is really big

lone kestrel
#

Even is there is a pos boon that would make my build better, if there's any of the recourse boons, I'm taking those instead.

#

Same for chaos.

#

I started using Shady instead of Batty just for the chance of extra darkness.

#

I also keep taking golden touch and saving up so that I have enough money to buy the special resource in the Styx every run.

upper wolf
#

only use case of golden touch tbh

rustic vale
rustic vale

#

Faster runs is also faster resource gathering

#

So it’s also, in a way, increased efficiency

#

Also that 20% boost is additive

#

So if you’re darkness farming and significantly better with sword or bow

#

Then using those weapons could just be increased efficiency by itself, only increased if you take further darkness boosts

yoooo that's so cool

At least for furnishings in his little corner

Since you can buy flowers for her corner

I said what I said

“Borrow” 300 obols from your older brother & then engage in a life or death battle

tardy aurora

have you searched around the room?

#

have you relogged in?

latent tide
#

do you guys reckon stubborn defiance is better than death defiance?

tardy aurora
#

if you can beat up to hades easily enough and avoid... a certain rodent, DD is better in long run

upper wolf
#

Both have their uses

#

Stubborn is mandatory (unless RI4 lol) for LC4

#

Death defiance is better in most other cases

#

Although I imagine stubborn is better if you have a weird pact where normal rooms are hard but you don't use LC4

#

And ofc stubborn is better if you don't have multiple DD

tardy aurora
#

just maxed out demeter aspect

I think banana said there was someone who also beat it on a technicality? No personal liability but shield didn't proc in the run so it wouldn't have changed anything

devout terrace
#

only myself and Bai have done an unmodded run

silk stone
#

@undone tundra is aspect of achille good on the spear (say yer opinion)

undone tundra
#

i dislike it from the technical side

#

but by god does it do damage

mint coral
#

Is the best aspect for it

undone tundra
#

silly good cast builds

silk stone
undone tundra

(crystals)

I love it, when I was clearing my bounties it’s the only one I used. So fun to zoom around

silk stone

like the unknown aspect

undone tundra
undone tundra

spin focused

wary iron

how to unlock it?

Good with hammer, sad without it

undone tundra

also it guts your hp.

If you prioritise hearts it’s probably not too bad, but I only played it once, unleveled. And won 😤

undone tundra
#

you mean guan yu?

silk stone
void vigil
#

yep

mint coral
#

Yeah that sounds like gy

#

Funny about is how levelling it up doesn't make you stronger really

undone tundra
#

i mean with guan you can just spin and not die unless oneshot

mint coral
#

Just less glass than lvl 1 glass cannon

undone tundra
#

yeaa

mint coral

If only the spin was better

undone tundra

anyway, angelic in chat, no way

charged gy?

interesting.

mint coral

Cskewer is its best hammer

void vigil
#

After reading stuff in this server I switched to Demeter aspect and wouldn’t you know it, I was doing way more damage

stiff obsidian
#

charged guan yu best guan yu

mint coral
#

You have exploding launcher built in with gy

stiff obsidian
#

funnily enough i am playing guan yu right now

i had a fun talos run yesterday

AHHHHHH

and extra attackspd lol

i love-hate this game 😔

undone tundra

hey san

#

you should try bow with artemis boons

silk stone
#

with all my heart

#

😭

last veldt
#

Have you tried hidden bow?

silk stone
#

wHATS DAT

last veldt
#

The 4th aspect which needs to be unlocked.

silk stone
void vigil
#

I didn’t like it, but I’m so used to the rhythm of regular bow that anything else seems hard to play

silk stone
#

idek what it does

last veldt
#

And if you haven't unlocked aspects yet, don't worry.

silk stone
#

i only unlocked something with twin fist and like uhhh aspect of achille with the spear

last veldt
#

Ah, okay, so no-one of the hidden weapons yet I guess.

#

The hidden weapons have a different feel to the others.

#

Hidden bow is a big change, as is hidden sword.

silk stone
#

what shud i pick

#

from chaos

stiff obsidian
#

what aspect

silk stone
#

achille

#

spear

stiff obsidian
#

it depends on a lot of things

#

like what your boons are and what chamber it is

silk stone
#

i have zeus' boon where if i attack i deal electric damage

#

thats it

#

and uhh its a chamber in like tartarus

#

like 3rd chamber maybe

mint coral
#

Could do lightning phalanx (zeus-athena) so +1 cast sounds good

silk stone
#

okay thanks

#

btw are encounters like how many chambers or is it just like enemies

mint coral
#

Each chamber with combat is an encounter

undone tundra
#

^

silk stone
#

yeh but like does 3+ encounter mean like 3 enemies do 47% more damage

undone tundra
mint coral
#

Things like enshrouded from Chaos count chambers in general

silk stone
mint coral
undone tundra
#

enshrouded is chamber reward right

silk stone
#

thanks

mint coral
#

Also apply to bosses so take care of those

silk stone
#

oh dayum

mint coral
#

I've seen one too many people taking -dash distance into a boss lol

undone tundra
#

just feels clunky

silk stone
#

👽

silk stone
#

gr

mint coral
#

To know if you are soon to the boss, chefk your chamber count

#

Ch12/22/34 are the last combats in each region

stiff obsidian
#

wow just did 50 heat with guan yu

silk stone
undone tundra
#

12

silk stone
#

thanks

undone tundra
#

as in

#

12 chambers then shop/whatev, then boss

#

iirc

mint coral
#

If you do funny chaos/erebus things you can make it so the last combat is a chamber further

#

Also yeah that's right

silk stone
#

DAYUM

#

why do the bosses do so much dmg now

undone tundra
silk stone
undone tundra
#

do you still have the extra dmg..

#

from chaos

silk stone
mint coral
#

What chamber were you in actually

undone tundra
#

open boon screen to see

silk stone
#

lemme see

#

naw i dont have the extra dmg thingy

undone tundra
#

weird

#

you dont have pact on do you

silk stone
#

uh

#

what

mint coral
silk stone
#

i have pact of punishment at the start of the run

undone tundra
#

yeah

silk stone
undone tundra
#

did you select anything

silk stone
#

dash strike with the box

silk stone
undone tundra
#

weird then

silk stone
undone tundra
mint coral
#

Have you used god mode before? Have you turned it off recently

undone tundra
mint coral
#

Or the more simple guess is that you had dmg reduction boons

silk stone
#

50 percent

#

dayum

mint coral
#

Or simply placebo effect dusa

undone tundra
#

when you do spin with guan yu

#

it shoots the spinny forward

#

when it hits smth it heals you

silk stone
#

is it like the cast with ares

#

thingy

undone tundra
#

kinda yeah

silk stone
mint coral
undone tundra
#

also it just deals more dmg

silk stone
silk stone
undone tundra
#

but regular attacks are slower

silk stone
#

hermes is a must then

mint coral
#

All the health draining options are kinda really eh lmao

undone tundra
#

also special is better 👍

silk stone
mint coral
undone tundra
#

deals more dmg, explodes, dont have to recover

silk stone
#

thats good

#

THATS REALLY GOOD

mint coral
#

Is exploding launcher built in basically

undone tundra
#

yeah

silk stone
#

i love the exploding thingy with the daedalus hammer

mint coral
#

At 5 less dmg (gy is 45, exploding is 50)

undone tundra
#

gy special does 45?

#

or just the aoe

mint coral
#

Is 45 base dmg yeah

undone tundra
#

huhhh

silk stone
stiff obsidian
#

the aoe does the same damage as hit

silk stone
#

since its built in

#

i go asphodel now

#

i hate asphodel

#

keep stepping on fire

Wait let me check actually

undone tundra
#

i cant check rn 💔

mint coral

Idk if I'm thinking ff+high confidence lmao

undone tundra

👁️

#

ik gy does 45

undone tundra

but like it hits both with the spear and explosion right

#

damn now i wanna try gy special build

silk stone

bow of misery

undone tundra
#

never.

mint coral
#

It doesn't explode like exploding

undone tundra

yeah it just has aoe as it flies

The hitbox is just bigger than what it shows

undone tundra

funny crackling sound

#

shackle.

#

and chaos scaling

#

good idea

#

45*3 is 135 right

Or aphro for weak

stiff obsidian

and hestia is 150

undone tundra
#

y

mint coral
#

Aphro epic is the same as shackle lol

#

She has the highest %

undone tundra
#

yeaa

mint coral
#

And you can pom it

undone tundra
#

but at the same time

mint coral
#

And you get to equip a defensive keepsake

undone tundra
#

aphro doesnt really have good tier2s

mint coral
#

Which you want with your reduced hp

stiff obsidian
#

shackle doesnt have any teir 2s

undone tundra

yea yea

Also aphro is half of smair which is always busted

#

eury for heroic special is very ncie to have

#

and special actually is 150% at epic lvl 1

#

atk is 100%ish

undone tundra

lmao good idea

#

Oh yeah special is higher lol

undone tundra
#

big bonks gy q

gonna do that later

#

Developing hell series in yt may mention it?

undone tundra
#

also silly idea i had before
see how much damage you can take from a trap

because if everything was drawn by frame each

then that would take ages

yea its just too time consuming

100?

undone tundra
#

30? 50?

mint coral
#

I know pots do 150 but you aren't taking chaos curses to dad

tardy aurora
#

50000 frames all drawn by hand in cuphead

stiff obsidian
#

ik styx axe hits for 150 with hs

undone tundra
#

soo 30 base

#

chaos gives like +350%

tardy aurora
#

like drawing frames, coding overall hades is just worth it, but objectively easier on kbm than controller, i played with both, couldnt do much good on controller, struggled on even single fight v asterieus

undone tundra
#

??

mint coral
#

That's simply preference

undone tundra
#

on controller you get autoaim and smoother movement

#

but yea pref

mint coral
#

Kbm does have better aim for stuff like lucifer special or zeus shield but that's more towards the skill ceiling of those lol

undone tundra

yeaaa

rail special in general is easier on kbm
