old bluff
#

Kbm also has auto aim

naive flicker
#

like you legit dont have to aim

old bluff
#

Most kbm players use it for rail and bow

naive flicker
amber crest
old bluff
amber crest
#

I imagine it’s fairly similar

gray apex
#

It’s worse on bow takes some getting used to, it’s same on rail

#

Dude i cant type

naive flicker
#

i might be bugging and watching high level players so it might look like they aimbotting so idk

amber crest
amber crest
#

Idk about Kbm

gray apex
naive flicker
#

i feel like i lose so much time sometimes just from missing a shot on some stupid enemy that is like hiding somewhere

amber crest
#

I propose you start throwing hands

#

(Join the fists gang)

naive flicker
#

does that make it better?

amber crest
#

I assume so

gray apex
#

That’s basically turning on auto aim, so you want to do it for rail and maybe bow

naive flicker
#

i kinda like the skill experssion of aiming but goddamn if it helps i might roll with it a bit

gray apex
#

For other weps i wouldnt recommend it but ive seen it used with sword

amber crest
naive flicker
#

goddamn mb im too used to it

gray apex
#

We can race if you want to test it

amber crest
naive flicker
#

dude my avg time is like an 18

amber crest
#

What’s ur main weapon

naive flicker
#

i might not have a chance

gray apex
#

Oh it’ll be a close one then

naive flicker
#

i actually got a 13 first time running fists

naive flicker
#

but i stuck to like 3 weapons the most

old bluff
naive flicker
#

spear bow and shield

#

now i like fists havent really tried sword a lot

#

but im thinking of trying out the nemesis one

#

actually its been so long since i had the bonus on sword

#

is it like a 1/6?

old bluff
#

Ye

naive flicker
gray apex
#

Yea don’t worry about it

#

Nem is quite nice but tough to get into at first

#

I find it more enjoyable than fists

naive flicker
#

i havent had the chance to do a lot with sword i just never really liked it it wa a meh weapon you have to start with

naive flicker
mint coral
#

16 to 32 is not that uncommon

amber crest
#

Yeah

gray apex
#

You could it

amber crest
#

We believe

naive flicker
#

imma try to force it to get more patient with the fists cuz i usually rush in and tank stuff like a morornty

gray apex
#

Just be careful what you pick

mint coral
#

I think the wildest I've seen was like, 10-ish range to 40?

amber crest
#

Did they win

naive flicker
gray apex
#

That’s big

mint coral
gray apex
#

Mustve been my alt

naive flicker
amber crest
naive flicker
#

10 to 40 is pretty crazy

#

once you get to lesser your options on the boons it gets pretty unfun tbh

#

but ig you can get 40 without doing that

amber crest
gray apex
#

ye you shouldnt have to pick that

naive flicker
amber crest
gray apex
#

Just dive into it and improvise

naive flicker
#

might just run zeus attack into artemis really shouldnt overthink it

amber crest
naive flicker
#

i only have like 1 dice roll bro its gonna be so ahh to get the jolted 😭

naive flicker
amber crest
#

Good luck

#

I wanna see

naive flicker
#

it might be like an hour from now but ty will do

#

ill notify you if you may

amber crest
#

Be wary of the timer

naive flicker
#

dont expect much cuz i dont

#

im running 7 mins should be good

#

first time phase 4 hades lmao

amber crest
naive flicker
#

3*

amber crest
#

DONT DO THAT ON 32 HEAT

#

EM4 is crazy

naive flicker
#

why not?

#

i have like 8 mins extra for it

old bluff
#

Em4 kinda hard

naive flicker
#

if not more

mint coral
#

Em4 stinky

amber crest
#

You just made your job 4x harder

gray apex
#

Imo just do it

naive flicker
#

just go blind and

#

get the reflect dash

amber crest
gray apex
#

Just don’t take EM4 HL5 and FO2 at the same time

naive flicker
amber crest
#

You know what this bud needs to learn

#

Go ahead

naive flicker
#

bro what are these acronyms 😭

amber crest
#

Who know you might win

naive flicker
#

half life 5

#

just dodge the dog

amber crest
#

FO2= forced overtime 2

gray apex
#

It’s a lot of heat so itll make the rest of the pact lighter but you have to expect to die at the end if youre not decent at the fight

naive flicker
#

get blinded and run away

#

its gonna be really bad ngl

amber crest
#

EM4=extreme measures 4

naive flicker
naive flicker
amber crest
#

Thata tight deadline 2

naive flicker
#

unless they get harder

#

oh wait they do

amber crest
#

they do

gray apex
#

They do

amber crest
#

A lot harder

gray apex
#

And he gets more hp overall

naive flicker
#

he spaws weird stuff*

gray apex
#

But just try it

amber crest
#

Yeah just try

naive flicker
#

yea i will

amber crest
#

Who knows you might win

#

And then you’ll laugh at us

naive flicker
#

imma lose my death defiance on floor3 and maybe hydra cuz of the lag i get there

gray apex
#

You’ll be a real gamer then you’ll jump to 50

amber crest
naive flicker
#

then will buy one and have 2 for the final fight

naive flicker
#

i havent thought that far bro my highest is legit 16 from an hour ago

#

before that i had a zeus 8 i think

amber crest
#

#raisingbythepoweroftwo

naive flicker
#

the hardest part gonna be clearing the rooms withotu taking hits tbh

#

especially floors 2 and 3

naive flicker
#

legit gonna get that first

amber crest
naive flicker
#

thinking of running whatever attack i can get if its decent for the fists and then get artemis trinket next floor

#

lightwork

gray apex
#

If you think you’re decent at the boss fights you can take no healing and run stubborn defiance instead, but that will make EM4 even worse

naive flicker
#

if haelin can do it

naive flicker
#

i first thought it was 1 death defiance every floor and not chamber

#

actually pretty crazy for higher heats im assuming

amber crest
gray apex
#

It’s a requirement basically

naive flicker
amber crest
naive flicker
#

i just remember i dont have any companions

#

ah ffs its fine

gray apex
#

It’s a beast of it’s own for sure

naive flicker
#

64 seems just miserable

#

reseting in this game is so tiring

#

if i had to guess

gray apex
#

Heat gets exponentially harder, it’s a big spike at 50 already and many don’t even make it there

#

So yea it’s miserable and an insane skill requirement for the select few who attempt. Probably thousands of resets if unmodded

#

Well it’s also thousands modded

naive flicker
#

once it gets to mirror and boon restrictions it feels more of a pain in the ahh than an actually challenge but you could say that adapting to what you get is the challenge which i cant say anything to

#

i legit be overthinking this game a bit much i have like 50escape attempts and ragequit the game a year ago cuz i couldnt beat it

gray apex
#

The jump from 62 to 64 took a year or two to bridge if im not mistaken

naive flicker
#

the last 2 points were the mirror werent they damn.

#

3month ago was another victor too

#

rama

gray apex
#

The rama one is pretty insane. For the longest time we thought only shields could do it because of the single dash. Although we’ve had a korean guy do 61 heat non hell mode rama quite a long time ago

#

But it is technically seeded

naive flicker
#

yea the rama dude legit a demon

#

like you know its over if you step on lava for a split second

#

how fast they activated that athenas call after accidently stepping on magma is just mad to me

lavish sorrel
#

playad good

harsh scroll
#

I remembered I can play Hades. I'll get back to it. Tell me a random aspect y'all

old bluff
#

Zag bow

harsh scroll
#

I'm ngl when I played non-Rama bow after like 2 months of playing ONLY Rama I realized how slow hidden aspects become 😭

amber crest
regal flax
#

best hammers for spear? using achilles so probably smth like flurry jab or extending jab

mint coral
#

Flurry jab yeah

hot bloom
#

Helpppp.. do i grab a heroic zeus attack (will replace demeter attack) or do i grab clouded judgement

mint coral
#

What weapon

amber crest
#

what build

hot bloom
mint coral
#

...why do you have dem attack

amber crest
#

grab zeus attack

#

for the love of god dont keep dem

mint coral
#

Do you have the heavy knuckle hammer

hot bloom
hot bloom
mint coral
#

Ouch

#

What biome is this

hot bloom
#

The rats!

mint coral
#

Ouch

hot bloom
#

Ots been a rough run lmao

mint coral
#

Yeah I can tell

#

Is there another zeus available?

#

Either in shop or tunnels

hot bloom
#

Yeah at charon for 450 i was saving for it

mint coral
#

Grab the attack and pray that 2nd zeus gives you static discharge

amber crest
#

indeed

hot bloom
#

Wanna know something fun.. i kept demeter hoping for that one boon that makes chill explode… all i got was decay… since the fire place

#

I cant spell it

mint coral
#

Aspho

amber crest
#

apshodel

hot bloom
#

Yeahhh

amber crest
#

just use zeus

mint coral
#

What keepsake did you start with btw

hot bloom
#

Hermes

mint coral
#

You still have it I assume?

hot bloom
#

Yep uhh its rank 2.. at 18.7% buff

#

Oh thats bad lol

mint coral
#

Yeah plume ain't the best lol

hot bloom
#

I was told to use it instead of thanatos

mint coral
#

Sacrifices build consistency/keepsake choices

#

I mean

#

That's not wrong but that bar is lower than hades's house

#

Butterfly is baaaad

hot bloom
#

But thanatos is so hott how could i nott

#

I mean what

mint coral
hot bloom
#

So what keepsake do you use?

#

Heck yeah! Greater recall from hermes

mint coral
#

The "optimal" method is god keepsake 1 (core of build) > god keepsake 2 (support/duo) > defensive keepsake for 3 and 4

#

If you know what you are doing plume runs can pop off with like zag fists and mirror upgrades to help the early game

hot bloom
#

Oh i dont try that hard, hades is my go to brain turn off game

mint coral
#

But you still are praying to get a decent build

hot bloom
#

Yepp

#

Dang.. i found the bag.. but didnt get enough for zeus… do i go into another room?

mint coral
#

How much hp/defiances you have

hot bloom
#

185/ and 3

#

Apparently i skipped a lot of health this time lol i usually try to get 200 or more

mint coral
#

What tunnels do you have left/how much gold you missing

hot bloom
#

Is the rng for that zeus boom worth it?

mint coral
#

Anything else good in the shop?

#

Miniboss rooms aren't the worst

#

Compared to normal rooms

#

But also eh you could prob just go

hot bloom
#

I can buy an athena, or one 300 pom and one 100 pom

mint coral
#

Athena is a 450 or 150

#

Oh wait zeus right lol

#

Hmm, if you wanna gamble you could do coin I guess?

#

Get zeus and you have athena for a possible dd recovery

#

Or just go

#

It would take a while with just zeus attack but just tell yourself is dodging practice

#

185 hp/3 dds is good

hot bloom
#

Like okay gameplay wise i can do hades on a bad run just its slow

royal schooner
mint coral
#

The only downside is the usual "takes longer = more time to get hurt"

hot bloom
mint coral
#

What do you have from athena rn?

hot bloom
#

Nothing lol

mint coral
#

Could take her call or dash if the slots are available

hot bloom
#

I have 10 boons, mostly demeter, art call

#

How do i only have 10

#

Wth

amber crest
#

you have dark foresight on?

#

the mirror upgrade

hot bloom
#

Uhh no

amber crest
#

then theres that

hot bloom
#

Huh

amber crest
#

it gives you more boon rooms

hot bloom
#

Ohhhhhh

amber crest
#

and hammers and hearts and coins

hot bloom
#

Ima go for the zeus boon because dopamine when legendary

amber crest
#

hehe

mint coral
#

You are gonna see like 5 blue laurels across the entire run

hot bloom
#

I have been so focused on darkness i keep forgetting keys so i dont have all the mirror yet,

mint coral
#

Could trade gems for them

hot bloom
#

Im on my 12th escape attempt and have only lost twice

amber crest
#

ah makes sense

hot bloom
#

NOOO ZEUS FAILED ME

#

Partly

#

No legendary

#

But there is a epic clouded judgment

amber crest
#

static discahge?

#

discharge

hot bloom
#

Oh the jolted dmg?

amber crest
#

ye

hot bloom
#

Is that worth over clouded?

amber crest
#

thats rllyyyyy good

#

HELL YES

hot bloom
#

But artemis call is so strong!

amber crest
#

NOT COMPARED TO JOLTED

mint coral
#

Here's a secret

#

Zeus attack already charges call fast as hell

amber crest
#

mhm

mint coral
#

Call is always amount of hits over dmg done basically

hot bloom
#

So wouldnt spamming max call be better then jolted?

mint coral
#

So every punch and lightning strike is already better

amber crest
mint coral
hot bloom
#

Hmmmmm fineee

#

Dubious

amber crest
#

dubious

mint coral
#

Max calls take a while to charge, crit chance

amber crest
#

bro just said dubious

hot bloom
#

Heheheh dubious

mint coral
hot bloom
#

Fineeeeeee

#

I guessss

mint coral
flint imp
#

Wha?

amber crest
#

mhm

mint coral
#

If you use jolted you can also just use artemis call for iframes instead

hot bloom
#

Truee

mint coral
#

(all calls grant iframes on activation)

#

This applies to lesser calls too

hot bloom
#

I use those i frames mainly on uhh chariots

#

I hate those fluffers

amber crest
mint coral
#

Big chariots my nightmares

hot bloom
#

None

amber crest
#

because some counter those lil buggers

#

wth

amber crest
#

i hate the smol ones

mint coral
#

Flamewheels are whatever

amber crest
#

theyre annoying

hot bloom
#

SON OF A BEACH

#

guys i have lied to you

mint coral
#

They kill themselves at the smallest crash with a wall

amber crest
#

theyre not even dangerous theyr just annoying

amber crest
hot bloom
#

Its the run where hades doesnt fight back xD

mint coral
#

Big chariots at high heat double tap me for 45

#

LMFAO

It was like a whole 30 minutes!!

#
  • h1 is a good game, I like talking about it
hot bloom
#

Well persephone has returned in 12 escape attempts.. i only last 2 and those were the very first ones where things were still being unlocked

mint coral
#

Now for the run 1 win

hot bloom
#

Run 1 win?

#

Ooo i love this song

mint coral
hot bloom
#

Is that possible?!

old bluff
#

Ye

hot bloom
#

3 is the quickest i have done it, usually i do it in 8 runs

old bluff
#

It’s pretty hard tho

hot bloom
#

That sounds like a challenge! Oh gawd i hate the sword lol

mint coral
#

The dad fight is pretty fun

#

But yeah in general very hard

hot bloom
#

Its so fun.. now my next challenge

#

Figure out how to consistently beat em4

#

I have beat it once

old bluff
#

It’s a pretty fun fight, so if you just fight it a bunch you can prob learn it pretty well

hot bloom
#

Trial by death

#

Wait that means i get to see thanatos

#

Yep doing it

naive flicker
#

ahh well that didnt go very well

#

died to floor3 boss with 2 death defiances

#

lost my first one at a mini boss for some reason

#

they get extra moves now and i didnt know of it

#

didnt get jolted or my artemis special which was pretty bad ngl

#

got athenas dash which helped a lot for clearing

#

if only i knew they get extra moves how does that make sense

#

the minitor doesnt spin usually does he?

mint coral
#

You have extreme measures 3 activ3

naive flicker
#

even with the added armor version

mint coral
#

He gets the changes for his miniboss fight too

naive flicker
#

and i dont remember a spinning attack

mint coral
#

But yeah he is not affected by middle management which buffs the other minibosses

naive flicker
#

ik he has area of effect on his slam third move combo

mint coral
#

Nah beyblade is em3 only

naive flicker
#

shi

#

yea it was pretty fast too and i didnt know of it

#

almost reached styx 32heat first attempt

#

wouldve been a close one

mint coral
#

Nice

naive flicker
#

i might commit and just try again later since i did get pretty unlucky

rustic vale
#

like how you can only find Ares, Athena, Dionysus and Artemis

#

which means you essentially start off the run with a full god pool consistency wise

#

since there are no hammers for double edge, and no chaos to boost strike damage, you're kind of pigeon-holed into building towards Merciful End

#

and starting with a full godpool really helps with Merciful Ends consistency

mint coral
#

You also always start with divine dash so you do have some safety

#

Even with mono dash sword

#

And if you have played regularly with any level of forced overtime you gain bullet time

rustic vale
#

this might be more personal preference but since the game defaults Theseus's call to Artemis if you have all the gods you can see in your build

#

Theseus has to use Arte call and I like that one but also I haven't done it monodash ever

#

Hermes is also out of the question which is really bad but it does technically buff your ME consistency alongside hammers not being able to show up

fierce flicker
#

Does merciful end work with Lucifer? How to play it? I had Ares attack and Athena special and dash. I found the Ares doom triggers faster than I can deflect.

rustic vale
#

like

#

does the duo work?
or
does this build work well?

#

Anything can run ME, but not everything will run it as well as other weapons

#

and in lucifers case you have better options

static spruce
#

Hades is kicking my ass rn lol

#

I just started a new playthrough

#

I've never beaten it

flint imp
#

Don’t worry it gets easier

#

But uh

#

@static spruce

#

I’m assuming ur new? Idk

naive flicker
#

dude but like nah rail is so much easier than fists its actually crazy

#

ig it literally is stronger and thats nothing new

#

fists feel like you really gotta learn those openings very well know when to go in and out you generally need more time to master them ig

#

thats what makes rail easier

#

and the damage ofc

#

kinda crazy

#

from 1heat to 32 on the rail

#

legit 40 doesnt even seem crazy on it

flint imp
#

Eris go burrrrrrrrrr

royal schooner
#

It sounds like I didn't leave much info yet about my gameplay in the mobile version

When I was playing the game, I could unlock the weapons, but like in order to play the game, only 1 weapon of the weapons could be used in order for me to reach the end

#

I wonder what will change when I get to play the game in the Switch

#

I could only pass with the Eternal Spear

fierce flicker
amber crest
# fierce flicker I mean how to best use it for ME if it's viable?

Merciful End:
The duo boon between Ares and Athena. It allows for the doom effect to drop immediately instead ion lingering over enemies. It will drop when hit with an attack that can deflect (ie Athena boons).
ME=Merciful End

CORE BOONS:
Ares attack
Athena Special
Athena dash

IMPORTANT BOONS:
Impending doom

COMPLEMENTARY BOONS:
Pressure points
Zeus call
Billowing call
Deadly Reversal

Game plan:
Equip Ares keepsake
Grab Ares attack
Play through Tartarus as usual, ensuring you minimise the amount of duo boons you can get so you have a higher chance of getting ME. If you see Athena, PRIORITISE IT ABOVE ALL ELSE. Grab the special. Know you’re eligible for ME, and every single chance you get you should fish for the duo. If you don’t get it, grab impending doom and divine dash.

Asphodel:
Grab Athena attack and repeat Tarrtarus. If you see Zeus in any room, grab the call and get billowing call when you can.

Elysium and Styx:
Grab chronic coin purse and Acorn respectively.
Pray you get ME.
Once you get it, grab the important and complementary boons. And shred. And melt everything.

#

Here

#

It’s a basic guide

#

To like every merciful end build

fierce flicker
# amber crest To like every merciful end build

Yes though on rail like Lucifer, I wasn't sure how to optimally play Merciful end. Are you meant to dash strike with Lucifer? I use using Athena on special, the deflecting balls was quite useful

amber crest
#

Use attack to apply doom

#

Use dash to proc ME

gray apex
#

If you wanna try it on Rail use Zag rail with spread fire

rustic vale
#

You can use it

royal schooner
# flint imp Wdym

It's bc in mobile I could only win every boss with only one of the weapons of the unlockable weapons but that's very specific

#

I only had more chances to win the game while using the Eternal Spear

#

I used to read a manga about someone that wanted to be like his father, but that the father was a sword owner but also used to create swords with him (but that were very special across the story's world), and his father made 7 swords until he dies from a assault and gets robbed that the person doesn't know the style of the execution, and his son had to take his sword

#

And then goes on a journey to recover the robbed swords

wispy temple
#

It has the exact storyline

royal schooner
# wispy temple It has the exact storyline

Yeah, and the crazy thing is that in the mobile version of Hades of Netflix that just left, I could only use one of the weapons of the unlockable weapons in order to have more chance to win but that's very specific

#

I only had more chances to win the game while using the Eternal Spear

#

i finally beat the bull and theseus for the first time

#

in 42th run

#

it took me skelly revive and 2 death defiences tho

#

and i had to replenish those in elysium d

#

i died in next map

#

i suck at this game D

#

tbf i only had 10 runs or something this year , i did 30 last year and gave up also i had to give back my controller so couldnt play it

royal schooner
# wispy temple ah

Until all of a sudden I found out I had more chances to win the game while using it in the mobile, where there was times that it was easier to fight bosses and reach them without having taken much damage from enemies and the weapon was used by Hades😳 (while meanwhile KB Chihiro is using his father's sword, and his eyes are RED)

I wonder what will change about it when I play the game in Switch, if I will keep beating the game only while using the weapon or I will already be able to beat it with all in Switch as part of a change

Ultimately the decisions up to you, but I recommend enjoying Hades 1 for a good while

Maybe Hades is secretly British

I never remember which is which but cthonic gods (aka the UW people) have one accent while the olympians have another, is a conscious choice.

Ik is british/US accents

I think it was called a surface accent

silk marsh
#

well a few minutes is more than nothing

amber crest
silk marsh
#

and it seems the canon would indicate you continue to escape even knowing this

silk marsh
#

so its worth it

silk marsh
#

what do you mean why?

#

its his mom

#

he can only see her when he escapes so

#

isnt that why?

amber crest
#

That’s not the only reason…

silk marsh
#

the other olympians?

#

idk? a chance to beat up his dad again lmao

amber crest
#

You wanna know?

silk marsh
#

yeah

amber crest
#

Spoiler warning

silk marsh
#

of course

amber crest
#

Ok

silk marsh
#

im just curious as to what it could be

amber crest
#

He eventually convinces Persephone of coming back down to the underworld

#

After 10 runs

silk marsh
#

oh thats sick

amber crest
#

And after that

silk marsh
#

well why would he continue to leave then?

#

the other olympians i guess

amber crest
#

Hades uses him as a way to test the underworld’s security

#

Zag pretty much gets employed lol

silk marsh
#

i guess thats a reason

amber crest
#

And in the epilogue Zag does runs so he can meet the gods and bridge the relationship between them and hades

#

And the underworld as a whole

silk marsh
#

thats a better reason

#

how do you get the final level of friend ship btw

#

i have those ale thigs

#

things

#

super nectars

amber crest
#

All characters have a favour you need to do

#

And it’s ambrosia

silk marsh
#

well why wont they tell me it

amber crest
#

No one tells you

silk marsh
#

i cryyyy

#

when angels deserve to dieeee

amber crest
#

There are hints sometimes

silk marsh
#

damn thats rough

amber crest
#

And some are just “you talk to them”

silk marsh
#

cause i dont vary my playstyle or decisions often

#

just get better at what i like

amber crest
#

What do you like?

silk marsh
#

oops

amber crest
#

Language

silk marsh
#

punching, stuff

amber crest
#

Yooo same

#

Fist main?

silk marsh
#

i guess

#

i got like 30 runs in

#

but yeah i kinda just run over everything

#

thats the plan

#

so if i need to like

#

kill 10 things in one arrow shot

#

it will NEVER happen naturally for me

#

i like the sheild and i like the fist

silk marsh
#

30th attempt

#

got em

jagged plover
tepid plover
wispy temple
#

who pinged me man

tepid plover
alpine fulcrum
#

Hmm this is really cheap on the switch rn

silk marsh
silk marsh
silk marsh
#

Okay I looked up a guide just to sate my anxiety.

#

There's nothing you really gotta go out of your way for

#

The only one like that seems to be skelly

indigo badge
#

technically shield and fist hidden aspect do need you to do something specific

mint coral
#

Hermes is also annoying

silk marsh
#

outside of like hypnos or thanatos

#

or ares who is the one i wanted to do

mint coral
#

Oh if you know what to do yeah

#

Hypnos is annoying due to Than rng

silk marsh
#

I also just kinda like his item lmao

mint coral
#

Yeah fair enough

silk marsh
#

so its it wouldve happened naturally

#

i like the zag effect on the fists

#

so the feather was a natural choice for me to grab

#

Also do the passive effects of the keepsakes for higher boon rarities always apply or only on the next guarenteed boon it gives you

#

cause it seems kinda weird that people would just carry these things around after maxing them out

#

vs something like any of the other ones that just have passive effects like cerberus, achilles, hermes keepsakes

mint coral
#

You use them for the guarantee next god tho

silk marsh
mint coral
#

As they provide build control

silk marsh
#

thats what i figured

#

cause.. idk

mint coral
silk marsh
#

okay

#

so you do have to hold it

indigo badge
#

you take the keepsake to guarantee the next boon not for the rarity

silk marsh
#

weird

mint coral
#

Rarity is just a bonus

silk marsh
#

okay oaky

#

thats what i thought

mint coral
#

(also fwiw is also increased chance for the other rarities)

#

Not only rare

silk marsh
#

"why would someone carry this crap around for all this time when theres no reward for maxing it out"

#

fwiw?

mint coral
#

For what is worth

silk marsh
#

is there a cap on the mirror upgrade for better rarities?

#

cause im deadass about to full send on the rarity upgrade to try and get 100% rare upgrade

mint coral
#

+40% to rares

#

20% epics/10% duos

silk marsh
#

thats still pretty good considering the keepsakes

mint coral
#

Rares is not worth over the other upgrade

silk marsh
mint coral
#

Yeah yeah

gray apex
#

Can use it to get the fishing legendary

silk marsh
#

ah i just checked

#

i know why i didnt choose it

mint coral
#

The thing is rarity barely matters if you don't see boons

silk marsh
#

But you will always see boons

mint coral
#

And there are better sources of meta resources

silk marsh
#

So i think why im doing this side is because the other side didnt make sense

indigo badge
#

way better

silk marsh
#

it increases my bubble rewards?

indigo badge
silk marsh
#

oh is the other side saying theres a chance to get two rewards instea d of one?

indigo badge
#

so less darkness and key and gemstone room rewards

silk marsh
#

OH I SEE

#

OH I DIDNT THINK ABOUT THT

#

i htought it was just saying i got more rewards cause all of them are in the bubble thing

indigo badge
#

yeah dark foresight is one of the strongest mirror upgrades

silk marsh
#

well its still not a bad investmenet for me now

#

i only just won on my 30th attempt

silk marsh
#

welp

mint coral
#

Dark foresight swaps the ratio to 70:30 in favor of gold laurels basically

silk marsh
#

YOU CAN ONLY GET TWO HERMES INTEREACTIONS PER RUN?

mint coral
#

Yeah

#

He's built different

silk marsh
#

he is

#

anything that interacts with being fast and having an ego to match is my jam

mint coral
#

He also doesn't count towards the god pool due to this

silk marsh
#

the only gods i like IN THE GAME more than him are Poseidon and Ares

#

poseidon is cool and ares is... me

#

"good job killing all those guys"

#

Also, with thousands of lines of dialogue

#

SURELY theres special dialogue for beating the game on your first escape for a save

#

like "wtf how did you do that"

#

surely

gray apex
#

Should try it

mint coral
#

There's dialogue variation for reaching dad on a first run

#

Run 1 is fun

silk marsh
#

if anything the true nature of hades is much more in line with me personally

#

just dont quit, no matter how many times i lose

#

ill be back again

#

speaking of not being that guy

#

yeah heat, wtf is that

#

that is redonkulous

#

i took one look at the upgrades: "you will have some reduced healing"
okay fair enough, how far does- oh just all of it, you can just not be able to heal... thats... cool.... dont think im gonna be messing with this to much lmao

mint coral
#

You get to use the alt side of death defiances

rustic vale
#

One of the items is always a 50:50 between the anvil and a third hermes

#

That’s the only way you can get more than 2 thou

silk marsh
mint coral
#

Yes I know

#

But stuff like defiances still work

silk marsh
#

Oh okay

mint coral
#

Or +max hp

mint coral
#

And use that as your healing

silk marsh
#

So for most players you're playing with a large max HP deficit

mint coral
#

There are ways to increase it

#

Kiss of styx (recover 1 death defiance) changes to touch of styx

#

Which increases healing of stubborn by +10% per copy

silk marsh
#

Well yeah but without healing you're basically stuck at 30% you're mad HP right?

mint coral
#

Patroclus's version is +50% instead

silk marsh
#

I didn't know patroclus until I accidently saw him in the book

mint coral
#

So you enter next room with a total of 60% basically

silk marsh
#

Wait 60%

mint coral
#

30% and stubborn would come back

rustic vale
#

your 30% + the next rooms stubborn

silk marsh
#

Oh I see

#

Okay

mint coral
#

You can also do the funny athena thing

#

Taking her "recover 1 defiance" boons in a room where you used stubborn will give you a death defiance

#

Then next room stubborn comes back as usual

silk marsh
#

So you'd have two then until you used it?

#

Then go back to just one?

mint coral
#

1 defiance and stubborn yeah

#

Yup

silk marsh
#

That sounds pretty doable

mint coral
#

She also has 2 of these boons

#

So you can end up at 2 defiances + stubborn

#

Or less likely you get chaos's legendary

#

Which does the same

silk marsh
#

Oh you can't just keep rnging that boon? Dang lmao

mint coral
#

If you could sell them you could

#

But yeah, only 2 max per run

silk marsh
#

I don't really try broken things. I just want to overpower everything

mint coral
#

The idea of using no healing + stubborn is that it makes rooms a lot more tolerable at 32 heat+

#

Because rooms become harder and bosses are more predictable

silk marsh
#

Boss become more predictable?

mint coral
#

They are just a matter of practice after all

#

They don't change wildly each time

#

Enemies at high heats will have varying buffs and amount of enemies

silk marsh
#

Yeah I feel like I learned the bosses pretty quick

mint coral
#

Mostly from the benefits package pact

silk marsh
#

But I also just choose "big number" upgrades everytime

#

If it's anything except Athena dash I just choose highest rarity

#

But I think I'm not alone in preferring that dash

mint coral
#

Hers is the best defensive dash so fair

#

And the only one lol

#

The other popular is tidal dash for best dmg

silk marsh
#

I mean it makes you're dash a better dash

#

DMG optimization is cool but the reasons why people use dashes is to avoid or dodge things. And making it a deflect is just...

#

I like the spinning blade things though

#

Cause I just sit under hydra head

mint coral
#

You can avoid dmg by killing them before they attack :p

rustic vale
#

Truly the building strat of all time

rustic vale
#

pretty much every weapon would rather dash-strike than standing strike

silk marsh
#

youd just hope for more dmg

#

like ares bloodlust

mint coral
#

?

silk marsh
#

or something like that

rustic vale
#

what

silk marsh
#

like if your plan is to kill them before you need to dash then you wouldnt be getting a dash to do that, youd augment your dmg

#

so if youre gonna need to dash it should be a good one

rustic vale
#

Tidal dash does so much damage that

silk marsh
#

is it really that good?

rustic vale
#

you add it to kill them faster

silk marsh
#

lmao

rustic vale
#

yes

silk marsh
#

well good on them for making it viable

#

thats good

rustic vale
#

it’s a high damage dash with good aoe

#

absolutely wrecks styx on it’s own and it great damage everywhere else

silk marsh
#

i just figured you meant "it did the highest dmg" just comparitively, i didnt know it actually packed ehat

#

but tbh i was really impressed with the poseidon cast too

#

so im not surprised

rustic vale
#

it’s actually so good that some builds can prioritise it over getting their striking core early (namely crit nemesis and achilles)

silk marsh
#

well i am but in hindsight im not

#

crit nemesis and achille?

rustic vale
#

crit based nem builds can just start with tidal dash and work out artemis and aphrodite later

mint coral
silk marsh
#

whats a nem build

rustic vale
#

and achilles can split two ways between artemis/ares hunting blades and zeus/athena w/ lightning phalanx so you can just take tidal dash and figure out your other cores later

#

Nem = nemesis sword

#

the aspect

mint coral
#

(attack gains crit chance after using special)

silk marsh
#

oh that sounds bushed

#

busted

mint coral
#

Is balanced by being a sword bouldy

rustic vale
#

and achilles is the respective spear aspect

silk marsh
rustic vale
#

um

mint coral
#

Sword stinky

silk marsh
#

swords are not stinky

rustic vale
#

sword is a good weapon for speed and heat trust 😁

#

It’s a little needy on the hammer side of the equation

silk marsh
#

im glad none of the favors are weapon locked

old bluff
#

I just entered c33 at 3:11 and left Ely at 4:08 :(

#

5:21 finish

mint coral
#

Ouch

#

Just a c34 patty away

rustic vale
#

:57 second ely tizomg

lavish sorrel
#

Late to the convo, but non-ff / non-arthur sword stinky

rustic vale
#

Y FF sword when you could FF bow shadesmile

lavish sorrel
#

Because it's faster unless your name is pseudo

rustic vale
#

What’s the ff wr atm

lavish sorrel
#

17:41 by nitrostarch

rustic vale
#

Is that rta or igt

old bluff
#

Rta

lavish sorrel
#

ff is only measured in rta

#

(In first game)

rustic vale
#

Figures

#

especially w/ bow in the mix

#

but if you just took the sword runs I wonder what the igt would be

lavish sorrel
#

11-ish minutes at ultra high-end

rustic vale
#

Lowkey crazy that a no mirror no aspect no speedrun pact no hammers no hermes gamemode comes within a ~minute of my pb with all of those things tizomg

#

😔

#

like I know my sword has a lot of work that can be done but like

indigo badge
late shard
#

@wide drift missed uuu hru, how's hades been for u

wide drift
#

And im now pretty much hopping between games

#

Namely last epoch, hades, doom and some monster hunter world

late shard
worn tendon
#

If i have Freezing Vortex, and i sell my Slicing Shot, does the Freezing Vortex just fizzle?

worn tendon
#

Noted

rustic vale
#

It’s more like there isn’t anything for it to work on anymore tbh

#

The duo specifically modifies slicing shot / slicing flare

worn tendon
#

It's an upgrade to the Slicing Shot, not a totally seperate boon

rustic vale
#

It’d be the same w/ lightning phalanx and blizzard shot and hunting blades and crystal clarity

primal compass
#

Just killed a boss quickly enough to get Hermes’ Plume to activate lets gooo

Going into Elysium with 17.6%

naive flicker
#

second try at 40heat just lost to father phase 2 em3 he was like 4 hits away

#

i had tooth and 1 death defiance

#

nahh but thats so sad

#

i played it so badly

#

didnt have reflect dash to be fair but damn that couldve been so easy

#

had 3 mins on the clock

#

hestia has to be nerfed btw

mystic acorn
#

Phases 2 Kekwat

#

Not surprised but I barely killed em on phase 1 Jeremiah

indigo badge
#

my highest is 54 with hestia, I've enough practice to do 58 with em4™ but I'm grinding h2 rn 😔

naive flicker
naive flicker
#

im pretty far from that tho thankfully

indigo badge
#

ever

naive flicker
#

also 54 is insane btw props

#

yea ik you leave it even when doing 58 its so insane

mystic acorn
naive flicker
#

im running a little bit of a scuffed setup just to get some healing cuz im really bad and get hit randomly sometimes

indigo badge
#

the current hestia modded record is 60 which is everything max except ri3 dc0

indigo badge
gray apex
#

DC is a pact you never touch on Hestia

#

Unless youre memeing

naive flicker
naive flicker
naive flicker
gray apex
#

It’s how the wep is

#

Theres a few others that also don’t take dc

indigo badge
#

arthur™

gray apex
#

It’s a huge time sink and you have no reliable way to multi hit enemies to remove it

#

If you made it that far it’s a matter of time before you get it

naive flicker
#

any recomendations on this pact setup

naive flicker
gray apex
#

Ideally drop RI and AP and take LC4 HS and JS or dump HS and JS2

naive flicker
#

i usually run shackle start but i think running aphro might be better?

indigo badge
gray apex
#

Yea you should try Aphro but only after dropping RI

#

Honestly you can keep AP1 because Hestia doesn’t need many boons but I would still drop it

naive flicker
indigo badge
#

that first level of ri is worse than you think, I'd remove that and add js1 cp1

naive flicker
gray apex
#

I see

#

You are reload cancelling?

indigo badge
gray apex
#

Learning Stubborn Defiance is not that bad

naive flicker
#

reload cancelling?

naive flicker
gray apex
#

You’ll get it just needs a bit of getting used, it’s a smaller hp pool but more margin for error in rooms. Your bosses need to be cleaner overall tho

gray apex
#

Can do it with cast too

naive flicker
#

i was full health going into floor 3 but died once to an enemy room and once to the boss which i had acorn for so that was probably the choke that lost me the run tbh

naive flicker
#

then special once every 2 attacks cuz thats how the cooldown lines up

#

it also doesnt waste any time (the special) if you do it in the reload animation

indigo badge
naive flicker
#

sometimes i forget about the special ngl

gray apex
naive flicker
#

so your saying less hl more ls?

#

i cant have that LS4 tho i cant imagine not healing at all

indigo badge
gray apex
#

If youre set on keeping some healing id say keep AP1 and take some js and maybe cp, but drop RI for sure

naive flicker
#

i did have 3 mins when i was like a few hits away from killing hades so maybe i should take my time with some rooms

#

but if i say that i might get too lazy i fear

gray apex
#

But id recommend doing an LC4 run on 32 heat for practice

indigo badge
#

yeah ri1 has to go

gray apex
#

Just try it

#

On Hestia it’s either RI0 or RI2 there is no in between

naive flicker
gray apex
#

And it’s too early for RI2

naive flicker
#

ri doesnt seem that bad tho

#

i dont even have the rolls maxed out

indigo badge
naive flicker
#

nor do i have the one where it gives me more rooms of hammer and pom types

indigo badge
#

dark foresight is one of the strongest mirror upgrades

naive flicker
naive flicker
#

maybe i could go for ri2 lmao

naive flicker
#

might need to shift it a bit but idk if i can max that

gray apex
#

You can get really good builds on AP1 RI0 which help a ton for rooms and such

#

You’ll also just have more hp and gold to spare

indigo badge
#

i don't recommend ri2 but if you wanna try it then drop ap1 so you can at least get better hammers

naive flicker
#

which kinda sucked cuz i had shackle at that time but luck was not that bad except for the dash

naive flicker
gray apex
#

Understandable, I think if you give it more tries you’ll start to see the infuriating runs lol

naive flicker
#

only 4 hammers are like decent

#

maybe 5

#

and i dont think they make that huge of a difference

indigo badge
#

the special hammers are always good

naive flicker
gray apex
#

The nice thing about Hestia hammers is that there isn’t one that bricks your build so no harm in taking them

naive flicker
#

ap1 doesnt feel insanely bad tho imma keep it a buck it can be sometimes frustrating but its not an insanely big deal since i have to sell a boon anyways sometimes

naive flicker
gray apex
#

It’s nice but not always useful imo, it pierces shield guys in Elysium which is neat

indigo badge
naive flicker
#

it must be somewhat frustrating not putting some free heat on when you look at my setup from your prespective lmao

gray apex
#

Tbh when I look at my early heat clears it’s basically the same lol

naive flicker
#

man fk elysium

gray apex
#

Then I wonder why I made it so hard for myself

naive flicker
#

you only say that cuz of the skill gap

indigo badge
naive flicker
#

i mean yea i am probably but i just havent gotten used to stubborn

naive flicker
naive flicker
#

i actually got my first 32clear with hestia yesterday

#

or 2days ago now i think

indigo badge
#

absolutely horrendous pact

gray apex
#

That’s a very nice screenshot

naive flicker
#

38 minutes is calm

indigo badge
#

fyi the (close call though) victory title is for finishing with less than 5% hp and no defiances left

gray apex
#

I like the pstatus tbh

#

It sends a message

indigo badge
#

yeah a message that i was dumdum 😂

serene sparrow
#

Lemme see if I can find my 590 min game where I accidentally went afk for two days XD

indigo badge
#

basically @naive flicker it's ok to not instantly be good at the game, take your time and try out different pacts until you find the best combination for you

naive flicker
#

yea for sure im taking it a little too fast for my skill level
