quasi dust

why did i get this game on switch

stone rune
#

unmodded is a completely unplayable form of the game

stiff obsidian
#

yes modded is good like that

maiden narwhal
#

but can sack be in second tunnel but you still lose patty, because of the number of chambers being random?

stone rune
#

you cant lose tosd

#

in a 2 sack

maiden narwhal
#

ok

stone rune
#

each tunnel has 3 or 4 mini rooms

maiden narwhal
#

i know i lost patty by 1 chamber once

#

that was bollocks

quasi dust
#

could i ask what patty is im confused

stone rune
#

hes the guy that gives tosd

stiff obsidian
#

if u get patty in c34 u can ewven go 3 tunnels without losing patty

stone rune
#

or jerky

#

or hydralite

quasi dust
#

ohhh pat

maiden narwhal
#

styx dude

quasi dust
#

mb

quasi dust
#

i mean

maiden narwhal
#

it is LOOT

quasi dust
#

by that point i have some good stuff

#

so like idrc

maiden narwhal
#

but charon has so much more stuff

quasi dust
#

for an inflated price

#

no thanks

maiden narwhal
#

yeah that's true

#

but still
as much as i can

#

i mean

quasi dust
#

i getchu dw

maiden narwhal
#

this only 2 passages business is insane

quasi dust
#

i used to do that too i simply got bored of it

maiden narwhal
#

well i'm definitely not now cause no tdash or pos cast

#

unless charon has it!

quasi dust
#

fair

#

good luck w styx ๐Ÿซก

stiff obsidian
#

pom it

maiden narwhal
#

the call?

#

2 extra seconds is a lot

#

it's a rocket to the face

stiff obsidian
#

also turn on timer in settings if u want

#

it is nice to track time

maiden narwhal
#

oh cool i didn't know about that

#

thanks

maiden narwhal
stiff obsidian
#

battle rage is useless here

maiden narwhal
#

then why tf i put so many points into it zagcry

#

i think i thought it was the other one

#

that boosts attack special and cast

#

yeah

#

there are only 2 boons in styx passages and they are ares and dio
i am actually going to be going against dad with no special

#

at least it's a rocket

stiff obsidian
maiden narwhal
#

oh

quasi dust
#

oof

maiden narwhal
#

really? why?

#

too low?

stiff obsidian
#

yeah its like barely 15% or something if pommed i think?

maiden narwhal
#

hm

#

ok maybe i'll sell it for gold for charon?

#

the aphro is 850 tho ugh

#

eh i'm overthinking this

stone rune
#

id have sold aph call into styx

maiden narwhal
#

because i'm too close to fail

stone rune
#

btw

stiff obsidian
#

why

stone rune
#

trying to get a better smair call

#

u have zeus in poo

maiden narwhal
stiff obsidian
#

zeus in poo

maiden narwhal
#

poor zeus

quasi dust

#

stinky zeus

maiden narwhal
#

[cess]pool

quasi dust
#

lmfao

maiden narwhal
#

dio ares hp or gold?

stone rune
#

what ap level

#

is the hp a big hp

maiden narwhal
#

i only have 239 gold no way i'll be able to afford the aphro boon, so no special

stone rune
#

do you have enough money for any poms

maiden narwhal
stone rune
#

because blade dash could be really funny

maiden narwhal
#

ok but clearing would be HILARIOUS

stone rune
#

i mean its a clear either way

#

if u need security take hp

maiden narwhal
#

it does not look big but maybe

#

ok hp then

stiff obsidian
#

big means miniboss door

maiden narwhal
#

you did not find the sack
you do not collect 200

maiden narwhal
#

no, it was smol

#

now i have 2 minutes for sack and dad ๐ŸคŒ

#

i need DAMAGE

#

i can't even kill the little mouse things

lavish sorrel
stone rune
#

u have delta and +3

#

iframe the hits

#

its gaming

stone rune
#

i cannot do that habit unmodded

#

and if i do its guaranteed barge

maiden narwhal
#

i was too fast and dashed past a purge pool in the dio tunnel zagcry zagcry

#

i could've gotten rid of aphro

lavish sorrel
stone rune
#

its guaranteed

lavish sorrel
#

1/3 = 1... YEP that sounds right

stone rune
#

the only reason i play unmodded ever is that sub5 would be really funny

stone rune
stiff obsidian
#

am i dumb

maiden narwhal
#

welp
i had 1:26 to kill dad

and phase 1 took exactly 1 minute

#

gg

#

so most people here haven't cleared 45 unmodded?
or..

stiff obsidian
#

yea

maiden narwhal
#

then why am i doing this to myself

stiff obsidian
#

because its cool

maiden narwhal
#

if sack had been in 2nd tunnel instead of 3rd, i'd have cleared

#

that kinda sucks

#

ah well

quasi dust
stone rune
#

fell like 1:26 should be close to enoguh

stiff obsidian
stone rune
#

with +3

quasi dust
stiff obsidian
#

+3 does not increase you damage

stone rune
#

yea it does

#

with delta

stiff obsidian
#

contrary to popular belief

maiden narwhal
stiff obsidian
#

what.

#

no it doesnt

maiden narwhal
#

i don't think it had time to reach me even

steep condor
#

this is like when i came here and found out hell mode does nothing but make your life harder until like heat 50

stiff obsidian
#

but you hit the thhing

#

the limit

#

lvl 3 epic joly

#

thats like

#

most of the damage

stone rune
#

ok

#

cp1 tho

maiden narwhal
#

they are worlds apart

#

athena dash?

stone rune
#

ddash is fake

maiden narwhal
#

stiff obsidian

maiden narwhal
stone rune
#

maiden narwhal
#

maiden narwhal
#

quasi dust
#

i mean i can

stone rune
#

quasi dust
#

readable in my eyes

steep condor
#

it's squished but readable

quasi dust
#

exactly

stone rune
#

ive played like this since like

#

may

stiff obsidian
#

its a canon event to go wtf at their screenshots the first few times

quasi dust
#

lmao

stone rune
#

i mean now i just screenshot obs

maiden narwhal
#

it can't zoom and it's too small for me to read it because my lazik wore off

#

and i'm just wondering exactly how bad my eyes are, rn

quasi dust
#

oof

steep condor
#

oh w/o zoom i can't read it either

quasi dust
#

yea same

maiden narwhal
#

oh

#

can you zoom if you open it in discord?

#

because i can't

#

or my mousewheel is not zoom like it's supposed to be

steep condor
#

i'm on mobile discord and i can zoom in normally

maiden narwhal
#

oh

#

web discord is awful

#

but it's easier to alt tab and type than pick up my phone

quasi dust
#

i just open it on desktop discord and it looks fine to me tbh

stone rune
#

you can only read it while listening to 2x Speed Mozart Left Year Bible Chinese Right Ear

quasi dust
#

lmao

maiden narwhal
#

what mods do you use?

#

and where can i get them?

stone rune
#

speedrunning modpack

maiden narwhal
#

installation instructions included \o/

#

is the mods directory supposed to be in hades\content?

#

will it work if it's in hades\content\hadesspeedrunningmodpack\mods?

#

ok i think i fixed it

#

what mods did angel use for the 64 clear?

#

and does supergiant recognise a modded clear?

stone rune
#

wdym

void vigil
#

she cleared it with mods, and then she cleared it unmodded unseeded

fringe dust
stone rune
#

its not rlly a version right

#

its just sticking another file in the folder

stiff obsidian
#

yea its another mod

upper wolf
#

oh, is that the one people use for 64 modded ?

#

I thought it was, like, mostly the "base" speedrunning modpack that is used

stiff obsidian
#

most people who play heat use first boon epic

upper wolf
#

yeah

maiden narwhal
#

do i want real time or igt?

upper wolf
#

It's just so much better with it

stone rune
#

the world if i ever saw epic doom ever

stiff obsidian
#

basically anything you hard reset for early. is just forced through mods to make ur life easier

upper wolf
stiff obsidian
#

or what juncoril said

#

but real time preset removes thanatos encounters afaik

maiden narwhal
#

not srue if i can make my own settings i have no idea what's going on

#

the hammers page is v confusing

maiden narwhal
mint coral
mint coral
mint coral
#

When you find your first hammer only the one there will appear

maiden narwhal
#

so this thinks i have 4 hammers?

upper wolf
#

no

mint coral
#

One per aspect

upper wolf
#

it's per aspect

maiden narwhal
#

ah

mint coral
#

If you set delta on eris it won't be delta on zag/hestia

maiden narwhal
#

no i lied i still don't understand

#

if i change top right to delta chamber

#

what about all the rail ones below it

#

oh wait

upper wolf
#

you're have the ones under them

maiden narwhal
#

now i understand

#

aspect

#

yeah

upper wolf
maiden narwhal
#

i just don't know which one is eris

#

second?

upper wolf
#

yeah

#

they're in same order as when you select them

maiden narwhal
#

but this won't force hammer seed, right?

upper wolf
#

Zagspect/random/olympian/hidden

#

nah

#

you might get your first hammer in asphodel if your unlucky

maiden narwhal
upper wolf
#

it keeps the normal 75/25 odds

stone rune
#

the world if i got anything other than literally the worst option possible at every junction

upper wolf
#

junction you say ?

#

gives common doom

maiden narwhal

doesn't really matter when it comes

maiden narwhal
#

so you are spared her wrath

#

also there were no temples to her so whatever

#

what's she going to do

upper wolf
#

kill you for your hubris, I assume

#

that's 99% of all greek gods actions

maiden narwhal
#

yeah they sucked

#

zeus turned into an actual golden shower once

#

to rape some poor mortal

maiden narwhal
stiff obsidian
#

sheesh zag rail sucks

maiden narwhal
#

idk why they even have that rail

stiff obsidian
#

lets see if i can do wr - em4 for another aspect

stone rune
#

its a little bit bad

#

i had a 33s dad on it the other day with instadarkness

stiff obsidian
#

ok

stone rune
#

but it also suck

stone rune
#

by shooting him

maiden narwhal
#

oh lol

#

i thought you meant your dad call lasted 33 seconds

stone rune
#

reset

#

and swap to spread fire

stiff obsidian

and hell mode

maiden narwhal
#

barren bridge
stiff obsidian
#

windows users

gray apex
#

this exe version is also slower so make sure you give it enough time

stone rune
barren bridge
#

sacrofice

#

eres is useless and irrelvent in this run

#

but he need to get him self in ๐Ÿ˜’

#

luck

gray apex
#

Looks oke, would probably pom Jolted and Shoals and stop with the Attack. It's too late in the run, but it appears that your god pool is not full so would be nice to get an Athena Dash/Call

maiden narwhal
#

@stone rune you have a 5 minute eris run?

stone rune
#

no

#

my eris pb is like 6:51 or some garbo

#

i do not play eris

stiff obsidian
#

does anyone have a 5 min eris run

stone rune
#

the wr is webs 5:04

gray apex
#

There's a few

barren bridge
stone rune
#

with like 130 aspho or something

barren bridge
#

im in sewers now

stiff obsidian
#

meant usb5 but yeah

barren bridge
#

i doubt athena just apears

stone rune
#

no sub5 because eris sucks too bad

maiden narwhal
stiff obsidian
#

โ˜น๏ธ

maiden narwhal
stone rune
#

this is my fastest recorded

#

and uploaded

fervent radish
#

what's your fastest non recorded

stone rune
#

i think a 6:51

fervent radish
#

something where i'm faster than jazz? tell me it's not true

stone rune
#

i dont play eris

#

it sucks

fervent radish
#

yeah ik

stiff obsidian
fervent radish
#

true

maiden narwhal
#

does pressing escape cancel animation or something?

stone rune
#

?

fervent radish
#

my 11 hour all aspects run will be faster than jazz too dw

maiden narwhal
#

why do you keep hitting escape

fervent radish
#

it pauses timer

stone rune
#

because i want to pause

maiden narwhal
#

why

stone rune
#

to stop the game temporarily

fervent radish
#

gives time to think about routing through rooms, make decisions about doors/shops

maiden narwhal
stone rune
#

??

fervent radish
#

??

#

is english your fourth?

maiden narwhal
#

have you watched the video?

#

apparently not

stone rune
#

what r u talking about

mint coral
fervent radish
#

^

#

when the game is paused, IGT does not run

#

you can think

#

you've never wanted like

maiden narwhal
#

oh way too tedious lol

#

speedrunning is slow af

fervent radish
#

a little bit of time to think about something?

#

lmao

maiden narwhal
#

i'm never doing that nonsense

fervent radish
#

that's funny

stiff obsidian
#

same

maiden narwhal
#

people call that gaming rofl

mint coral
#

Be glad we don't have codex tech

latent moon
#

Jazz is one of few who pauses that much

jagged hamlet
#

jazz is a pro speedrunner ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

mint coral
#

Also that, tho for me is just bad habit bouldy

latent moon
#

There's also rta where it uses real time so you don't pause

maiden narwhal
#

i see zero point to being good at speedrunning if that's how you have to do it

gray apex
#

No one does it basically

maiden narwhal
#

so

stiff obsidian
#

can you pause buffer your way through em4

gray apex
#

For most people it ruins it because it breaks the rhythm of the entire room

latent moon
#

And cerby call pause buffering yeah

gray apex
#

just play rta

maiden narwhal
#

the whole point of speedrunning is to be fast. and the fastest

stone rune
#

rta is such a garbo cat

fervent radish
#

it's just two diff categories

stone rune
#

its like igt but you cant have fun

jagged hamlet
#

Turn-based Hades

#

RTwP Hades!

fervent radish
#

tests two different skills lol

maiden narwhal
#

eh

mint coral
latent moon
maiden narwhal
#

now that i know what speedrunning is i don't care lol

latent moon
#

mostly

maiden narwhal
#

i thought it meant like.. good playing

stone rune
#

oh i didnt know i played bad

mint coral
#

Really

stone rune
#

ill try to remedy that in the future

maiden narwhal
#

now you know

#

you don't have to

latent moon
maiden narwhal
#

but if you'd like

jagged hamlet
maiden narwhal
#

whatever makes people happy

stiff obsidian
stone rune
#

ohhh

jagged hamlet
#

I'm fairly certain Hades speedrunners aren't people but small, adorable rodents

stone rune
#

and then i'll learn to pause less which apparently makes me better

latent moon
#

if you think speedrunning doesn't have "good playing" then that's just objectively wrong but you're free to think whatever you want lmao

maiden narwhal
#

you don't have to. play however you have fun playing.

#

don't worry about good and bad

stiff obsidian
#

me omw to tas hades with fastest autoclicker in the world

fervent radish
#

if you want the fastest play in RTA just watch RTA

stone rune
#

also you can still kinda do codex tech

#

with wells

#

the same principle applies

fervent radish
#

IGT records are the fastest in IGT. literally all that matters

latent moon
#

if you want to get better at td3 learn a bit of speedrunning lmfao

fervent radish
#

try doing 50+ without pausing lmao

#

esp when a hit is the end of the run

stone rune
#

i mean its not like u have to pause for 50

#

50 is pretty free

stiff obsidian
#

i dont think yuo pause mid combat

#

in heat

icy ferry
#

i only pause mid combat if i'm really getting rocked

latent moon
#

you pause mid combat in heat when you get hit by a bs attack and you need to calm down lmfao

gray apex
#

you just pause for doors, and you dont even have to

stone rune
stone rune
stiff obsidian
fervent radish
#

i pause mid combat between hades phases to lower my heart rate lmao

stone rune
#

have you tried pausing and pressing give up and playing anyheat

pulsar relic
#

Yo, not sure if it's the place to ask

fervent radish
#

that's what I'm doing rn

pulsar relic
#

But I can't trigger Dusa's bond not Nyx/Choas' quest

fervent radish
#

not doing so hot unfortunately + busy so can't get runs in

fervent radish

part of the dialogue is just RNG

#

nahh that's crazy

fervent radish
#

nice one

stone rune
fervent radish
#

i'm honestly not the right person to answer dialogue questions then idk

#

seems like a 50 heat beo run

stiff obsidian
#

๐Ÿคฏ

stone rune
#

yeah but mike has like high 50s or something on beo

latent moon
#

for funsies

#

but also insane meg lmao

#

meg for damage is cringe

#

meg for safety is based

gray apex
#

I think I was trying for damageless em4 at 50 heat

#

idk this was 2 years ago

devout terrace
#

v 1.1.1

#

damm

stone rune
#

when did they make the modpack usable

#

so that you respawned in courtyard after reset

devout terrace
#

1.20

stone rune
#

good thing i started playing after that released

devout terrace
#

i was one of the first people to playtest it

stiff obsidian
#

zagrail more like masochists favorite aspect

#

godbye

#

the

latent moon
#

free pressure points!

devout terrace
#

RC1 was broken af

#

it had a game breaking exploit that I cant recall

#

and every run on it was disqualified, not allowed on the boards

#

and 30 minutes after that annoucement was sent I did sub 10 50 heat zag shield

#

not knowing about it

#

and the run wasnt allowed bouldy

latent moon
#

rip unfortunate

devout terrace
#

I was so salty

upper wolf
#

I'd have been mad zaglol

#

did you use the exploit ? Even inadvertently ?

stiff obsidian
#

gg

maiden narwhal
#

(:

#

it only took two runs, modded

maiden narwhal
#

and my fastest clear lmao

quasi dust
#

Pretty epic

maiden narwhal
#

yo this says i cleared 4 times in a row

#

no way i did that

stiff obsidian
#

oh dont expect your stats to be completely accurate anymore

stone rune
#

why rta preset

latent moon
#

i think that's just default when you download it lmao

formal citrus
#

is fiery presence with dc feasible?

#

seems difficult

latent moon
#

not really

#

rama shoots 3 arrows so like more often than not you wont get fiery off

formal citrus
#

I guess you could fire a single bullet with eris but that drop time is problematic and your cast goes slower than your bullets

#

usually

latent moon
#

oh yeah on rail it's not practical either lmao

rustic thicket
#

been a while since I played this, but I remember someone saying vicious cycle doesn't work as intended?

mint coral
rustic thicket
#

Thanks

barren bridge
#

some one give me ideas for rama other than aphro/artimas and zues/posiden

latent moon
#

considering the only good attacks on rama are aphro/artemis and any flat damage special works, there's not much else to that lmao

#

special only rama uses zeus but you said besides that

#

idk dem special and get arctic blast i guess but that sounds really bad lol

barren bridge
latent moon
#

idk could just not play rama lmao

barren bridge
latent moon
#

i mean that's fine but if you're getting really bored then using something else for a bit then going back to rama can be helpful/nice

#

I used to only play beo for a long while but now I'm pretty bored of it so I'm just playing other things

Am I able to learn the lyre after ||sending Orpheus to be with Eurydice|| or does it have to be before?

You can do it after

thereโ€™s basically no missable dialogue or quest in the game

Perfect, tysm

#

Hey, hey

#

So I just unlocked the Aspect of Hades on Varatha

#

What does the mark on the enemies do? I don't see a difference, but I've only tried it on Skelly so far

latent moon
#

they take more damage from attack and special

#

not the spin attack, just the attack tho lol

pulsar relic
#

Got it, got it

#

Thank you

brisk trail
#

............

stiff obsidian
#

spam

maiden narwhal
#

they must, right?

#

like the rama attack is bigger than the zag bow or rail attack

#

and can clear a wider swath of enemy projectiles

#

so why isn't athena a valid attack?

#

it's like throwing a small shield

#

that reflects

stiff obsidian
#

your attack is your main source of damage

#

defense can go elsewhere

maiden narwhal
#

athena not hit hard enough if epic?

#

or just that aphro and arty hit harder?

stiff obsidian
#

yes

maiden narwhal
#

ok

#

makes sense then

stiff obsidian
#

also rama is slow attacking weap

#

deflect on attack isnt helping anyone

maiden narwhal
#

if you dash strike you still get deflect at meleeish range right?

#

but if it's too weak then it's moot

latent moon
#

i mean you wouldn't be using athena's attack to deflect anything on purpose most of the time

#

or at least you shouldn't

#

esp not on rama

maiden narwhal
#

@latent moon btw ofc you need a certain level of competence to speed run

even above average level

but it's just a question of tighter play, which isn't hard to come by with a little time and experience

i guess what i meant is speedrunners are not as good as i thought they were

they're not doing much different

#

i guess good and bad are pretty subjective

latent moon
#

"tigher play" is extremely broad lmao

maiden narwhal
#

and now i know what speedrunning actually is, it isn't that important to me to be good at it

latent moon
#

also what did you think speedrunning was beforehand lmao

maiden narwhal
maiden narwhal
latent moon
#

i mean there's build decisions, pathing, spawn manipulations, well manips, keepsake roation, etc

maiden narwhal
#

i figured it was a whole different level of skill

#

[from me]

#

it's not

latent moon
#

i mean in general what makes speedrunners better than the average player besides the in game time is the fact that they just know builds better and have better game mechanics

#

and for the majority of players, they dont really know what good builds are and how to path/prioritize that well

stiff obsidian
#

yeah

latent moon
#

technically speaking, saying just "tighter play" is what makes speedrunners good can also be applied to high heat runners lol

maiden narwhal
stone rune
#

its not "a little" lol

latent moon
#

"a little time" can be over a hundred hours lol

#

which isn't like

#

practical for most people lmao

maiden narwhal
#

i mean..

#

it's a roguelike

#

not a crossword puzzle

latent moon
#

i mean sure

stone rune

did you know that taking a second boon doubles your chance of first pom

latent moon
#

no lmao

#

funky

stone rune
#

see

maiden narwhal
#

ofc not

but now i do

#

and it took practically no time at all

stone rune
#

there are hundreds or thousands of pieces of knowledge like this that u build up

#

preferences

#

athena vs dem vs dio

maiden narwhal
#

right but none of that is about play, per se

#

ok let's put it this way

stone rune
#

it is also about play

latent moon
#

game knowledge still goes into speedrunning

maiden narwhal
#

speedrunners are very good in a way that is different from how it was in my head

stone rune
#

if i put you in a sub5 seed are you sub5ing it

stiff obsidian
#

theres a lot of perfecting movement and attack rotations too

stone rune
#

probably not in a thousand years

maiden narwhal
#

ofc not lol

#

i'm not hitting escape when i play

#

and why would i care to

latent moon
#

you dont need to spam escape like jazz to get sub5

maiden narwhal
#

sub5 is only something the speedrunning community cares about

and now i know what speedrunning is, i don't care about it

stiff obsidian
#

iwouldnt say spam

maiden narwhal
#

it's not a challenge for me

stone rune
#

oh ok

#

its not a challenge

#

i see

maiden narwhal
latent moon
#

also just pausing the game to make decisions help save time for td3 heat runs lol

maiden narwhal
#

as long as i clear with td3 im happy

latent moon
#

which like sure it adds up, but it's not really getting in the way of any combat that's annoying for normal players

maiden narwhal
#

ok. it's a challenge

just not a challenge that interest me in the least

it's a challenge the way cricket is a challenge

stiff obsidian
#

pausing in shop and pausing for doors is standard

stone rune
#

like do u think theres just no mechanics involved

stiff obsidian
#

all aspects are not eris

maiden narwhal
#

so far, yeah

#

i cleared 45 without pausing

#

if i run into heat i have to pause for

#

then i'll learn to do that

#

or stop playing

latent moon
#

i mean pausing isn't necessary it's just helpful

maiden narwhal
#

right

#

and all i want to do is clear td3

#

so i don't need the help

latent moon
#

and considering it saves time, that's exactly why speedrunners do it lol

maiden narwhal
#

but speedrunnersdo

latent moon
#

if something saves time and isn't annoying to watch, then it's allowed

maiden narwhal
#

isn't annoying to watch?

#

did you.. watch her 6 minute eris clear?

latent moon
#

does anyone have a clip of codex tech

maiden narwhal
#

i didn't. because it's annoying to watch

latent moon
#

jazz's is an exception bc the rules allow pausing

maiden narwhal
#

i can't even watch someone hit escape that much, let alone do it myself

stiff obsidian
maiden narwhal
#

even in your video it felt like a lot

latent moon
#

not allowing pausing for one person wouldn't be fair

maiden narwhal
#

and when i tried to do it i couldn't

latent moon
#

she's like the only one who plays like that

latent moon
maiden narwhal
latent moon
#

you can kinda just skip that part lol

maiden narwhal
#

what does the pause do

#

for the mechanic

latent moon
#

saves time overall in the run

#

even if it takes like

#

0.25 per door

#

you go through a lot of doors in the run

maiden narwhal
#

right that's what i thought

#

tiny micro saves

#

that add up to maybe 30 seconds or a minute?

latent moon
#

yeah and it's not a hard micro save so might as well do it

maiden narwhal
#

and when you're trying to do sub5 that's huge

latent moon
#

there's no reason not to do it if you want to speedrun

#

or save time in general for heat

maiden narwhal
#

and if i ever struggle to clear 50 because of td, i will probably have to learn to do that

stiff obsidian
maiden narwhal
#

from the door to the shop

#

is your deciding time

latent moon
#

i mean some rooms you dont have to pause if it's only 1 exit

#

but a lot of rooms have more than one exit

maiden narwhal
#

i mean yeah you could hit escape and take your time

#

but you already know what you're looking for

latent moon
#

some builds are very flexible in what you're looking for

maiden narwhal
#

hm

latent moon
#

like nemesis, hestia, zag bow

maiden narwhal
#

key over nectar
heart over gold
oil over gems

and you know your build, so you know the boon you want

maiden narwhal
#

so i can't speak to it

latent moon
#

well you pause to see when the options come up

stone rune
#

if you dont want pausing just play the bad category

latent moon
#

like the instance you see the outline of the icon

#

you start dashing towards it

#

ideally at least

maiden narwhal
#

is it because everyone else is so young?

stone rune
#

who am i being rude to

#

is the rta category going to file a complaint

maiden narwhal
#

we've established you don't do english too well

stone rune
#

rta sucks not my fault

latent moon
#

jazz's comment wasn't rude or inflammatory to anyone directly, it was towards a speedrunning category lmao

stone rune
#

rta is like if they took igt and made it really annoying and stressful and u have to end bosses towards the exit

maiden narwhal
#

ok i wont waste my time explaining how it was

#

you kids might know hades, but none of you know life

#

as you were

latent moon
#

im pretty sure i didn't do anything wrong to provoke you but sure lmao

Why does Hades and Zagreus doesn't have

"I'm trying to get out of here"

"Hi, 'Trying to get out of here', I'm dad"

Or

"I'm going to stop you from escaping from Styx"

"Hi 'going to stop you from escaping from Styx', I'm Zagreus or Dad"

As their interaction?

I mean it's not like it'll feel out of the place

today i was informed that in ancient greece, there were no glass mirrors. they used polished bronze.

so what's the mirror of night made of? literal darkness?

It's Nyx's power

probably just a mirror

Also Iโ€™m pretty sure dio has lines about looking at himself in a mirror

any idea what is zagreus color scheme

upper wolf
#

red/green I'd say

novel nova

red green black silver or white

#

becuase i am trying to make a bead braclette

#

red green black white sounds like a nice palette

#

lots of contrast

#

should be pretty

bang my head against wave 15 brotato or bang my head against 54 heat hades

#

or buy ultrakill

#

hm

stone rune
#

dont get ultragrill

maiden narwhal
#

oh someone here was raving about ultrakill the other day

#

so i put it on the list

#

thanks

stone rune
#

i mean

#

its good

#

but my experience with it was like

#

the entire main levels were extremely easy to complete and p rank

#

and then the p levels were insane

latent moon
stone rune
#

i mean

#

50 to 54 is kinda fine

maiden narwhal
stone rune
#

both are pretty free modded

maiden narwhal
#

like three deviations

#

like iq

latent moon
maiden narwhal
#

so i mean..

stone rune
#

yeah but ri2 is free

maiden narwhal
#

why bother with 50

stone rune
#

just do em3 dc0 ri2 with hestia and win instantly

#

i did it like first try

maiden narwhal
#

oh everyone here was so against ri1 i figured ri2 was no

latent moon
stone rune
#

with no heat experience

maiden narwhal
#

i have only played hestia for the prophecy

#

hmmmm

#

why not

latent moon
#

like at 45 you dont need to take ri

#

but at 50 then you should prob consider it over some pact options

maiden narwhal
#

i should do those save state things

#

for normal dad you don't need to learn patterns

#

just dash around like an idiot

latent moon
#

like jazz just mentioned, you can take ri2 on hestia and be relatively fine

latent moon
#

you just gotta deal with ap2 lol

#

"just"

maiden narwhal
#

on eris hah

latent moon
#

if youre doing modded tho, ap2 isn't so bad

#

ap2 eris should be fine

#

on modded

maiden narwhal
#

as long as i have attack and jolted i don't care what else comes i can make it work

latent moon
#

just be careful on the 2nd hammer lol

#

yeah i'd still recommend doing 50 before 54 or whatever

#

i think you can do 54 without em4 but it's a bit sus lol

maiden narwhal
#

i went from 25 to 32
so i figured i could go from 45 to 54

#

ok i'll try 50

maiden narwhal
#

so that's ap2 ri2?

stone rune
#

you dont need em4

#

i did 54 with em3

#

false side does 56 em3

latent moon
maiden narwhal
#

wow

maiden narwhal
#

oh speaking of false

latent moon
#

add on like ri1 and cp2 or something on this pact

#

and it's 54

#

still em3

#

but also uh

#

cp2 js3 for time

#

might suck lmao

#

also obligitory ri1 is cringe lmao

maiden narwhal
#

@stiff obsidian i saw you mention my door priorities were wrong
it was moot because the point wasn't the priority, it was the fact that you have the time to decide while dashing there

but i would like to know what the right priorities are

latent moon
#

oh yeah i remember seeing that

latent moon
#

what was it again lmao

maiden narwhal
#

but like i said, since the only difference was em4..

#

i wouldn't be up against it until i was actually up against it

#

at which point i'd get frustrated and download savestate

#

and play it like hollowknight or something

stone rune
#

you said darkness over gems

#

there is no reason to take darkness ever

maiden narwhal
#

yeah it gives me hp

stone rune
#

you said heart over gold

maiden narwhal
#

yeah because i can't play sd

stone rune
#

there is no reason to take hp in anyheat

maiden narwhal
#

as easily

#

skill issue

#

i understand if they aren't meta priorities

#

but rn i don't think they're wrong

#

i used to NEVER path hp

#

ever

#

because you don't need hp if they're dead

#

but now they're not dead

#

so

latent moon
#

oh yeah tbf that ranking system was in regards to anyheat so survivability is most of the time not an issue lmao

stone rune
#

well the discussion was about anyheat

latent moon
#

for heat yeah heart over gold makes sense

#

although kinda depends imo

#

gold in early game i'd consider more over heart

maiden narwhal
latent moon
#

yeah

stone rune
#

or 10 or 12 or 15

maiden narwhal
#

ok so yeah that's definitely not the meta i'm looking at

stone rune
#

if u want to play the bad version

maiden narwhal
#

i want to clear the highest heat i can

stone rune
#

zagsnooze

maiden narwhal
#

with a pretty decent understanding of my limitations

#

i path heart over gold

latent moon
maiden narwhal
latent moon
#

but for heat it's a pretty fair ranking iirc?

maiden narwhal
#

i didn't read anything after i left btw

latent moon
#

did you put keys over nectar btw

maiden narwhal
#

it's just that one point i wanted to come back to, gamewise

#

cause false said i was wrong

#

because i am trying to finish asap because i struggle with td3

#

so picking the right door asap is v important

maiden narwhal
#

i want the rolls

#

for customs etc

#

especially with ri

latent moon
#

ngl if it's like c3 choices and i only have 1 boon i take nectar

maiden narwhal
#

and ap

latent moon
#

esp on ap2

#

for heat*

maiden narwhal
#

why?
