Why is the game giving me a Hermes Erebus gate at the start of asphodel

#

On arthur

stiff obsidian
#

why bother with erebus gates past tart

Erebus is so ruthless outside of early tart

twilit lodge
#

Yep

#

Flame wheels in asphodel Erebus

#

My beloved

#

I hit all 4 witches with meg

#

We’re so back

#

Erebus post-Tartarus feels like SGG saying "Let them eat cake!"

Onion flavored cake

#

waow nemesis aspect is so good :o

#

i haven't played since february and definitely am wayyy worse at avoiding getting hit than before but its damage is so good i was able to beat 26 heat first try which is higher than i've done on the sword lol

Started a new save file, got to hades on my 3rd and 7th attempt and killed him on my 9th. Killed him again on the 10th attempt too. No god mode. Feels fun.

😭 yeah

dreamy lagoon
#

is today the day Hades 1 officially released 4 years ago?

high pike
#

how to learn to play that lyra?

#

i the room

languid marlin
#

you need to interact with it a ton between runs, i think the number is 210, plus dialogue from orpheus

high pike
#

o.o

#

alright

how does heat work with bounties? is there a set of bounties per heat level and the heat gauge only matters for unlocking more heat levels?
mostly wondering if I should finish an escape (get the styx bounty, i already have the 3 others) with every weapon before going to heat 1 on each weapon. do I lose out on the Styx bounty for heat 0 if I move on to heat 1 to get all 4 bounties (instead of just 1 for the run)

stone rune
#

heat 0 works a little differently

#

its like

#

whenever you have heat on

#

if you do a run with heat at or above the level of the bounty itll complete the bounty

#

but heat 0 is separate and you cant do it with heat on

topaz cobalt
#

ok so there's 2 current bounty "sets" available at any given time? the heat 0 bounty set and the current heat level bounty set?

stone rune
#

well

#

after you beat the 0 heat bounty you cant do it again

topaz cobalt
#

but the bounty set for heat 0 would be a bunch of darkness

stone rune
#

no

#

if ur getting darkness ur not doing bounties

#

bounties give you the larger meta rewards

topaz cobalt
#

i think you're confused on the terms i'm using

stone rune
#

diamond, blood, ambrosia

topaz cobalt
#

i'm using "bounty set" to mean "whatever items are available from bosses in the current run"

stone rune
#

we would usually call those rewards

#

bounties are specifically for doing new heat levels

topaz cobalt
#

what do you call the thing you get at the end of every room then?

stone rune
#

room reward

topaz cobalt
#

ok

#

so there are 2 sets of rewards available at any given time: the heat 0 and the current heat level

stone rune
#

well

#

after you complete 0 heat

#

itll give the same stuff as if you did a different level of heat that's below the bounty

#

darkness

fervent radish
#

If you repeat a heat levels rewards, you get darkness. If you do a new heat levels rewards, you get bounties

topaz cobalt
#

so if i've never cleared with the shield but i go for heat 1 and clear it, heat 0 and heat 1 will both give the "heat 0" styx reward? (on the next run)

fervent radish
#

Only heat 0 will give the heat 0 reward. That’s what makes it unique

#

Read this

topaz cobalt
#

ok got it, so i can do heat 1 now and clear heat 0 later and get the reward if i want it

#

thanks!

Splitting bolt in aspho endshop but call hasnt even shown up

Literally more shields than Aspect of Chaos shadefear

lethal dock
#

stiff obsidian
#

pretty standard

#

iirc shaman stone, strength, mark of pride, soul eater

hoary pebble
#

Hi chat

#

Ok

#

Uhh

#

Whats the best weapon in the game?

lavish sorrel
#

On average, the rail.
The two best aspects for speed or heat respectively are both on shield though.

hoary pebble
#

They probably combo hera with that mirror talent

#

I forgot its name

#

Boiling blood

#

Boiling blood is probably very good with hera

stiff obsidian

#

@stiff obsidian i want to know when u beat em radiance

#

cuz thats cool stuff

#

also whats the zote score lol

hoary pebble
#

I was doing extreme measures hades

#

And I did not expect him to ||get up again||

#

Then I died

#

Back on the grind

lethal dock
#

bruh

#

if the heat is only em then maybe you can try death defience

hoary pebble
#

I still lost

#

I’m bad at the game but I’m having fun

#

And That’s all that matters

lethal dock
#

thats fair u dont need to do like 30 heat or something to get some badges

#

tbh i rarely play the game i enjoy the community here lol

hoary pebble
#

I got the second Skelly statue recently

hoary pebble

lethal dock
#

is there a discord role function where you ping the people who own both of the said roles like @a @b but only people who has a and b
-# also theres this cool texts now lol

stiff obsidian
#

lets ping moderators and supergiant together to find out

hoary pebble
#

This server has a lot of members

#

I just noticed that

#

I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a large server

fervent radish
#

Most of the damage comes from crush shot anyways

lethal dock
hoary pebble
#

Oops

lethal dock
#

some roblox game servers has thousand more and theyre probably all underage lol

hoary pebble
#

100k holy moly

stone rune
#

a lot of official game servers have a lot of people

hoary pebble
#

150 damage with no buffs is very cool

fervent radish
#

Yeah

#

Bestia

#

Top 2 funnest aspects fr

lethal dock
#

its funny af

#

aspect of zag rail is very funny tho

hoary pebble
#

I think my favorite weapon are the fists

#

They’re very fun

lethal dock
#

my favorite is the sword cuz like its simple

hoary pebble
#

The sword is fun too

languid marlin
#

big fan of aspect of rama

hoary pebble
#

I haven’t unlocked all the hidden aspects yet

hoary pebble
#

I’ll look it up

#

I won’t waste your time

languid marlin
#

i got a really funny build with it the other night which just turned my game into "hold x simulator"

hoary pebble
#

The internet is here for a reason lol

stone rune
#

i like beo

lethal dock
#

@/edward772454 will say beo and give a million reasons for why he like sbeo

stone rune
#

it sucks that they forgot to add any other aspects to the game though

lethal dock
stone rune
#

not much else to do in this game

hoary pebble
#

Is the aspect of Arthur good at all

lethal dock
stone rune
#

no

#

arthur is complete garbage

hoary pebble
#

It’s so slow

lethal dock
#

arthur is bad but its a cool fun aspect

stone rune
#

arthur is a bottom 3 aspect

#

very unfun

#

very terrible

lethal dock
#

did you pair it with achilles trinket thingy

stone rune
#

don't use the achilles keepsake ever

lethal dock
#

thats some fun gameplay with cursed slash

hoary pebble
#

200 damage doesn’t mean much when it moves so slow huh

fervent radish
#

I enjoy running Arthur because you can literally pause buffer during your hour long animations

#

Kinda funny

lethal dock
#

i can see why its so slow becayse of the whole personality of arthur the legend but community hates it so much for some reason

hoary pebble
#

I heard that levels on boons don’t really matter, it’s the rarities

#

Is that true?

fervent radish
#

Nah

lethal dock
#

u bein unfair to arthur

fervent radish
#

Rarity only really matters for doom and common tdash before first Pom

hoary pebble
#

I run pom blossom a lot

stone rune
#

pom blossom is bad

hoary pebble
#

It’s fun though

lethal dock
stone rune
#

if u say so

fervent radish
#

%boons take a few Poms but not much after that

hoary pebble
#

What’s the best regular keepsake

fervent radish
#

Flat damage takes Poms really well

#

Complicated question

lethal dock
stone rune
#

what

fervent radish
#

Shackle is rated well there

stone rune
#

it says shackle for speed and heat

lethal dock
#

lol

hoary pebble
#

I use the Dusa keepsake in the temple usually

fervent radish
#

Can also use flood flare for beo

stone rune
#

the feather duster?

#

the feather duster is bad

hoary pebble
#

Yeah

stone rune
#

very minute amount of healing

hoary pebble
#

I like the extra health

#

Because the stupid poison sucks

stone rune
#

acorn is a much better defensive keepsake

hoary pebble
#

What does that do again

fervent radish
#

If you have trouble with the poison, stay near the healing pools and try to stunlock enemies before they can poison you

lethal dock
runic bobcat
hoary pebble
#

Ooh that’s good

fervent radish
#

Spearpoint for poison is wild

lethal dock
fervent radish
#

Or you could just get holy shield

hoary pebble
#

Is the aspect of guan yu good

fervent radish
#

Yeah

lethal dock
#

n o

runic bobcat
fervent radish
#

Rough learning curve though

runic bobcat
#

not if you are new

lethal dock
hoary pebble
#

It feels strong but I have trouble using the spear

lethal dock
fervent radish
#

Why

hoary pebble
#

I also SUCK at using the shield

runic bobcat
lethal dock
#

no

#

cuz i feel cool gettin keepsakes

runic bobcat
fervent radish
#

It doesn’t have a cooldown and also doesn’t take up a keepsake spot

stone rune
#

GY is fine if you're new

runic bobcat
#

easy win

hoary pebble
hoary pebble
stone rune
#

shield is very hammer dependent

#

only good with charged shot

lethal dock
#

guan yu is stronk for high heat but its probably not the best for speedruns and if ur new it can take some getting used too

stone rune
#

its ok for speed

hoary pebble
fervent radish
#

Zagreus and chaos can by played with charged shot attack focus

stone rune
#

and its good defensively

runic bobcat
hoary pebble
#

Like the rail special attack sucks without the rocket

fervent radish
#

Beo is a cast weapon, and Zeus has a little more nuance

fervent radish
#

Cluster is also good

runic bobcat
lethal dock
#

hazard bomb is wild

hoary pebble
#

It’s like

#

Annoying to use

lethal dock
#

no its wild

hoary pebble
#

Because I have to aim

#

The regular special

lethal dock
#

hazard bomb is wild

runic bobcat
stone rune
#

triple bomb is insanely annoying

runic bobcat
lethal dock
runic bobcat
#

just lucifer.

stone rune
#

it affects the cooldowns in an unintuitive manner

runic bobcat
#

so i dont know

fervent radish
#

You can’t get it out as fast as clockets

stone rune
#

when you actually try to have a rotation like a normal person then triple bomb is annoying because you have to change your entire rotation around it

lethal dock
#

i got jumpscared by white haired hat kid when i alt tab bro

hoary pebble
#

The wave with the sword feels very strong, idk if it is though lol

stone rune
#

piercing wave?

hoary pebble
#

Yeah

stone rune
#

it's solidly the second best sword hammer

lethal dock
stone rune
#

double edge is the best

#

but peircing wave is pretty good

hoary pebble
#

I usually go aspect of zag if I go sword

lethal dock
#

its usseles with arthur

runic bobcat
#

i dont mind it

lethal dock
#

and not the best with nemesis

runic bobcat
stone rune
#

no its good with nem

hoary pebble
hoary pebble
lethal dock
#

fast attak are cool

stone rune
#

you should not be benefiting

hoary pebble
#

Lol

stone rune
#

on sword you should always dash strike

#

there is no reason to not dash strike on sword

mint coral

runic bobcat

#

Breaching takes second I think

runic bobcat
#

i must agree

stone rune
#

no

lethal dock
stone rune
#

i would say piercing is second

hoary pebble
#

I’m a big fan of ares and artimis

stone rune
#

i take piercing over breaching

hoary pebble
#

I go with Artemis if I go fists

fervent radish
#

What reason

stone rune
runic bobcat
stone rune
#

so like its free heroes damage

runic bobcat
#

none of the attacks do big dmg

fervent radish
#

The special does

#

Explosive upper dem builds are fun

#

Wait I need to do that

hoary pebble
#

Are artimises boons that good?

#

They feel good

old bluff
#

Zap fists is fine

fervent radish
#

Complicated

hoary pebble
#

Critical strikes

runic bobcat
stone rune
#

well artemis attack on fists is a very poor decision

runic bobcat
#

great with a lot of builds

#

except the dash

fervent radish
#

Only good if you have a bunch of flat damage you’re trying to scale or you have additive already

runic bobcat
#

that thing is garbage

fervent radish
#

It’s good wdym

old bluff
#

Arty is generally good to have on some part of the build, even if you only want like pp

hoary pebble
runic bobcat
old bluff
#

Zeus attack or ME is fists best build

fervent radish
#

No it’s definitely good

runic bobcat
fervent radish
#

Arty just works best on the special

runic bobcat
#

hope you get merciful end

hoary pebble
#

I never go with Athena

fervent radish
#

Or attack if you have atleast 70% other additive

hoary pebble
#

She’s like

old bluff
#

Jazz has a 4:42, i have a 5:10

stone rune
#

i do happen to be pretty good at beo

runic bobcat
#

hera in my opinion is beo but worse

fervent radish
#

Hera is so fun

lethal dock
runic bobcat
#

does everything beo does

#

but worse

stone rune
#

yes

stiff obsidian
lethal dock
#

thats cool hat kid kid

twilit lodge
#

Hera is fun, Chiron is fun

runic bobcat
#

also, my luck with hera is actual trash

#

cant get a good run

twilit lodge
#

Just get the boons

#

And don’t get the other boons

runic bobcat
#

with the epic +20%

twilit lodge
#

Common boon W

stone rune
#

hera is not that fun and chiron is a torture chamber created by satan in the most boiling hot pit of hell

runic bobcat
#

what is wrong with you

#

chiron is pure fun

stone rune
#

hera is annoying because it doesnt scale as well as beo

#

and stone drop time is annoying

twilit lodge
#

Speedrun beo pilled

stone rune
#

and chiron has 0 damage whatsoever

runic bobcat
#

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU

stone rune
#

and the slowest animations ever created

twilit lodge
#

Chiron needs two hammers and a duo to actually do damage

stiff obsidian
#

damage is alright but the actions just slow asf

stone rune
#

the damage is not alright

runic bobcat
twilit lodge
#

And it can’t handle heat well

runic bobcat
stone rune
#

we are talking the weapon where people tried crush shot for furies

chiron is cool for fun

because its trash

stone rune
#

it was cool but i lost interest

twilit lodge
#

Playing the game for 2000 hours is why hate chiron

#

It’s definitely one of the weakest aspects

lethal dock
#

(literally god)

stiff obsidian
#

how do you lose interest in hk

runic bobcat
#

i think chiron is the new players best friend

stiff obsidian
#

not posible

lethal dock

hk is cool

runic bobcat

i only have around 250 hours

stone rune

did you go to the god fight place

i kinda cheated cause i used the wiki

lethal dock
stiff obsidian
#

i spent my first few hk hours grinding geo to buy out the shops

lethal dock

game is ten times more born with wiki

#

i think the game would be more interesting if u started with dash or wall jump or something

lethal dock
#

p a i n

fervent radish

#

combat is supposed to be simple from start and get a teeny bit more advanced

Arthur>chiron

stiff obsidian
stone rune
#

any rail

fervent radish
#

For fun points

stiff obsidian
#

im assuming you beat the story

stone rune
#

i think arthur>chiron because it can deal damage at some points

#

but its so unfun

#

and the mechanics are terrible

lethal dock
stone rune
#

and the dash strike hitbox is off

lethal dock
#

i have like 2 hour speedruns so its fine

stiff obsidian
#

nice

runic bobcat
#

but chiron with ares duo with dio and dio with artemis and duo with aphro is great dmg

stone rune
#

if an aspect needs 3 duos to deal damage its nto good

lethal dock
#

didnt beat pantheon of hallownest cuz was too lazy and tips dark side

stone rune
#

but i also strongly doubt it will deal damage with those boons

stiff egret
stone rune
#

ME is an actual rng build

#

because if you get the boons you can do damage

#

but with chiron if you get the boons the damage still sucks

stiff obsidian
#

eris with like pommed lightning strike will do the same as chiron with all the duos and stuff probably

stone rune
#

eris also kinda bad but we not ready for that conversation yet

stiff obsidian
#

ur bad

stone rune
#

man

#

you can have clockets and special and rd and not deal damage because ur dash is lacking

#

and early in the game if everything doesnt go perfect ur damage is kinda poor

stiff obsidian
#

what heat

stone rune
#

9

#

the heat slider is locked at 9

twilit lodge

Living for the blood streak that gets left behind if you dash out of the pool of Styx

#

Never even knew you could do that until recently

But yeah I think nasty dash, or like an unused dio core

if you have idk dio special on achilles or strike focused zag spear

#

might as well

#

Is Erebus recommend during TD?

latent moon
#

not particularly lmao

#

generally speaking erebus isn't ever recommended

#

erebus is slow as hell bc you have to wait for enemies to spawn in, play extremely safe bc of hitless, and have to wait for the doors to open bc of hades' dialogue

#

if it's in like tartarus then you can probably make up the time later or you can just die/reset if it doesnt go well and it's a c2 erebus lmao

Not me checking every time it’s c1 hammer to see if chiron will get relentless so I can try a 32 chiron run to hate myself

i mean its 32 so its still free

brisk trail
#

It's slow and single target

#

Yea

stone rune
#

its just not particularly fun or rapid with chiron

rustic vale
#

I mean I’d call 32 chiron free because it’s just bootleg zag bow

#

but

brisk trail
#

Chiron was my main bow before rama. That was something.

stone rune
#

id call 32 chiron free because its 32

Yeah ig

or wait

are you still washed?

#

worst Hades player in history? Can’t even sub6 anymore?

#

(Something that’s so free anybody could do it last I checked in with Jazz)

twilit lodge
#

Oh wow

#

I just realized I switched the wrong mirror talent

jagged hamlet
#

Poor jazz can't get good despite all that practice zagsad

twilit lodge
#

So I did that with inactive abyssal blood

#

Instead of stygian

rustic vale
#

eh it’s not like

#

really a huge concern?

twilit lodge
#

Muh 50% damage

rustic vale
#

It’s not a 1.5* multiplier

#

it’s just +50% additive, nothing run winning or run ending

twilit lodge
#

I know

#

Conc relentless heart rend was still cooking

rustic vale
#

real gamers know conc relentless epic swift flourish

#

for max base damage

#

(Upwards of 4000)

twilit lodge
#

I wish

#

Hermes gave me epic haste and swift strike instead

#

Pools let me trash my purge fodder without much of a fuss either

rustic vale
#

Oh it may be only like

twilit lodge
#

I had a lucky run for sure

rustic vale
#

2800 somsthibg instead

#

Mis remembered

#

Still way more base damage than without the swift flourish

#

I love chaining damage thru multiple volleys

twilit lodge
#

I believe you still chain without swift

#

Just not for a 4th volley ofc

mint coral
#

Nah

#

Chaining here means stacking the dmg bonus through multiple specials

twilit lodge
#

I know that

#

I just thought the perk of epic swift flourish was 4 specials chained instead of the 3 without

#

I phased dad out of the gate with Meg and 3 volleys

mint coral
#

Nah too slow normally

twilit lodge
#

So I assume that was chained

#

Maybe just good crits then

mint coral
#

I think rare S.flourish also works at weird angles or something like that

rustic vale
#

Epic is the concentrated damage starts chaining

#

rare is just an awkward middle ground

latent moon
#

Yeah common gives 4 volleys but you have to spam it all and can't dash lmao

bro

#

im getting new dialogue

#

2k hours in

#

with theseus

#

wtf

void vigil
#

theres a lot of very conditional dialogue, i "only" have about 700 hours but i also encountered some new stuff way in. granted one of them was a dialogue that queued wrong about orpheus just returning to the house... after essentially 100%ing the game

latent moon
twilit lodge
#

Guessing EM3 in prior run but not current run dialogue

#

There’s a weird amount of em3 dialogue to get through

#

I finally got Poseidon to talk about how I beat em3

#

And then I got to tell Theseus his fav hates him

stiff obsidian
#

i think u need to be there with little to no hp and no dds

#

but im always on sd so i never got it ig

latent moon
#

oh interesting

void vigil
#

yeah every god also has dialogue when you pick up their boon while low HP

#

and some duos have two dialogues.... i will never see them all... waaaa

#

and i havent played h1 since may. i fear it may never happen

twilit lodge
#

Simply play h1

how to unlock the last heart of olymps god?

tepid light

#

everygod-

#

but i like Ares the most so how about him?

tepid light
#

each god has different things you need to do in order to unlock their final heart

void vigil
#

ares is basically just killing lots of enemies then talking to him, as far as i remember

void vigil
#

so equip his keepsake to talk to him first, until you get it

good question

#

being able to do one would lead to the other i feel

mint coral
#

I answered 32 mainly cuz some of the ron lvl pacts

mint coral
#

Did a sub 10 and super quickly "eh sure let's go for 32"

stiff obsidian
#

i dont even remember which i did first

#

i remember pushing time with arthur tho

mint coral
#

I did both with eris

stiff obsidian
#

same

#

all my firsts are with eris

rustic vale
#

I mean hmm

#

If I hadn’t spent so much time pushing heat up before hand and instead used thst onw speed

#

I’d have gotten speed much earlier

fervent radish
#

Sub 10 but both are at the same checkpoint in their respective challenges

stone rune
#

i feel like

#

at heats below like 32 every single run is sub10 ever

#

for me

#

but occasionally i can die at 32

#

so 32 has a chance of failure that sub10 doesnt

latent moon
#

I mean you're also a top level speedrunner lmao

#

Most people aren't

stone rune
#

well yea im talking from my perspective

latent moon
#

32 heat is prob easier bc staying alive isn't that hard given you have td off, which most players do lmao

stone rune
#

i think when i was starting i guess sub10 was harder

#

because i did 32 first try

#

but it took a few for sub10

latent moon
#

The other day someone cleared 32 with hl4 cp2 js3 em4 fo2 or something lmao

#

So like 32 is probably easier

#

I'm missing heat in there but I don't remember the paxt

rustic vale
fervent radish
#

You’re also mostly a heat player lol

lethal dock
#

yes

#

whadup chat

fervent radish
#

Idk I think sub 10 you can kinda mash with a good build

#

32 makes it harder

rustic vale
#

sure

#

I guess

#

with my singular sub10 I guess

lethal dock
latent moon
#

i've done considerably more speed than heat

#

it's just that my most recent things have generally been heat

lethal dock
#

bananas is wild

stone rune
#

i think they were talking to shackle

stiff obsidian
#

32 you can mash and win

latent moon
#

oh lmao

stiff obsidian
#

if there was no lava i think you can beat 32 blindfolded

latent moon
#

sub10 for the average player can't really mash together a good build bc they dont know what a good build is without a guide

stiff obsidian
#

maybe i should do 40 heat blindfolded, but i can look for reaching doors

latent moon
#

it's more difficult bc at that point they become reliant on good rng for a "build"

#

with heat you can put together a horrid pact and still clear bc without td, technically everything becomes clearable if you're willing to play slow as hell

#

and you're not stressed about going fast

latent moon
#

all my 50+ attempts probably total to like less than 20 lmao

fervent radish
latent moon
#

maybe less than 30 attempts

#

im sure i spent way more time getting a sub7 or sub8 and definitely more time getting sub6 lmao

stiff obsidian
#

this is really hard to evaulate when both goals are equally insignificant to us

latent moon
#

i mean i've only done 32 and sub10 on certain aspects

#

hades spear was a pain in the ass for both

#

sub10 was harder bc rng kinda just sucked (thanks ME)

#

32 heat you can still clear with a bad build if you have mechanical skill

stiff obsidian
#

i do know i struggled a lot for rama sub9

#

but sub32 all aspects was just a waste of my time

#

i mean 32 heat

#

not sub32

#

ooops

latent moon
#

rama speed hard

#

Hi chat

#

Does the pierced butterfly keepsake effect still work when it’s not equipped?

stone rune
#

no

hoary pebble
#

That’s a shame

fervent radish
#

Yeah, makes it and plume basically useless

hoary pebble
#

I thought I would equip that first on the easy rooms and get free damage

#

So much for that

stiff obsidian
#

its still negligible damage

#

barely 15% i think

hoary pebble
#

Not much

#

It could be something I guess

#

Oh well

fervent radish
#

You’d rather have control over your build

hoary pebble
#

Right

#

lol

#

I guess I’ll go eternal rose

rustic vale
#

Would make it a horrible play

#

even if the damage stayed

hoary pebble
#

I hear

twilit lodge

#

Is there no steam achievement for clearing the temple of Styx with extreme measures?

fervent radish
#

devs probably thought it was too difficult to make an achievement for, similar as 32+

hoary pebble
#

I’m surprised there’s not

#

Because I just did it and considered there was an achievement for the other areas

#

I thought there was gonna be one for hades

stiff obsidian
#

honestly insulting to players

#

like come on we dont suck that bad

old bluff
#

Kinda true, if you know the pact and weapons, both 32 and Em4 are quite free

stiff obsidian
#

they shouldve made the hardest heat achievement 50 heat

hoary pebble
#

It just took forever

old bluff
#

They should have made a sub 8 speed achievement

stiff obsidian
#

sub10 is fine i think

#

nice round number

hoary pebble
#

I got cursed blade with Stygias

#

I didn’t lose a life

That entire run

like my hk hours on steam say 700+ but my savefile has 325

stone rune
#

well i have some unknown amount of hours

#

i have like 800 in steam

void vigil
#

I have around 700 and I played since The Very Start. Not pro gamer enough

#

Never climbed heat or did speedruns, but I did get the unseen one rank

stone rune
#

i stopped playing on the exe around august last year

#

i wonder if i’ve accumulated enough resources for unseen one

void vigil
#

Depends on if you reset a lot but the darkness is the biggest resource sink

stone rune
#

i guess i theoretically could check

#

however many more resources i have than the max save starts with

void vigil
#

325k darkness iirc

#

The rest is small stuff like 10 ambrosia, 10 titan blood, etc ricky

Why does hades pause background downloads on the switch

weary lotus
#

Holy heck, Aspect of Beowulf is so good

old bluff
#

One of us

jagged hamlet
twilit lodge
#

Well typically they’re only paused when a game is considered to “use network features”

#

Some games pause them even if you’re playing offline, if there’s an online mode or even a dlc check option

#

But hades doesn’t even have any network features

mint coral
#

Cross saves?

twilit lodge

whenever my cursor click on the menubar when playing hades my cursor gets stuck on the click and i have to restart my laptop

i was already cooked because i was on discord when walking into the room then forgot i was playing

#

so i took like half a healthbar

weary lotus
#

So good

#

Helps that I have Frost Strike and Arctic Blast, meaning I'm just constantly applying chill stacks only to clear them for damage

#

Killed Theseus and Asterius in like 30 seconds, awesome

twilit lodge
#

I like serrated but it’s strictly inferior to flurry jab

#

And riskier to use

weary lotus
#

True, but I never had a chance to pick flurry jab, gotta make do with what you have

#

and it helps that have 4 dashes because of Hermes

#

along with Athena's Dash for deflection, so it's pretty safe to constantly dash-strike

Roll away miniboss tunnels unhealthy fixation, get it again

redditors are saying sub10 is rng based

old bluff

Where?

#

As in what post

stone rune
#

when i commented under that one that was posted here recently

jagged hamlet
#

They say the darnest things

stiff obsidian
#

i didnt even know sub10 was 'speedrun'

#

when i did it

#

i think

#

i dont even remember my ''sub 10''

stone rune

#

the darnest thingds

stiff obsidian

the ddarnest things

stiff obsidian

never question the packrat

void vigil
#

some of these alternative forms really are questionable tho

old bluff
#

wdym, durndest is awesome

stiff obsidian
#

agreed

twilit lodge
#

I mean, everything is rng

#

Is the argument being made here that sub10 is doable every run?

stone rune
twilit lodge
#

I suppose at a high enough skill level

fervent radish
#

meh

stone rune
#

at like a medium skill level

fervent radish
#

not that high skill level as long as you know the basic build to shoot for

stiff obsidian
#

i remember asking in speedcord what the worst possible run would be like

#

they said something around 9 mins irght

latent moon
#

ngl kinda yeah

fervent radish
#

that sounds right

old bluff
#

Top skill level gets sub 8 every time, sub 7:30 excluding the .1%

twilit lodge
#

Idk, sounds modded pilled

latent moon
#

i mean sure

#

but also 9 mins

jagged hamlet
#

So easy even a redditor can do it

latent moon
#

assuming you get like

#

barge and 5 sack it's not impossible tbh

fervent radish
#

i think beo would still sub 10 on the worst rng ngl

latent moon
#

yeah lmao

stiff obsidian
#

i think youd want like achilles or eris for that

latent moon
#

every run is sub10able if you're already fairly good

#

all three work tbh

stiff obsidian
#

since evry room would be the equivalent of unarmoured witches trickle

latent moon
#

oh if we're assuming it like that

stiff obsidian
#

0 skips except forced ones

latent moon
#

throw hestia in there prob lmao

old bluff
#

Worse rng modded or unmodded

stone rune
#

on hestia you could probably sub10 boonless with a 5 sack

old bluff
#

Hestia is hella consistent

stiff obsidian
#

on an average run you mean

#

not worst case scenario like we were discussing

old bluff
#

Hestia has really good damage control

#

(not the heat)

stiff obsidian

ironically gets screwed over by the heat
