#

Idk why you can even get that on Beo

lyric marsh
#

can you get bounties on the haelian mod?
with the boon only run

#

i did a run and didnt see any bounties in the boss rooms

#

but i think my blood count might have gone up and my bounties for that heat were gone after i got back

mint coral
#

But most people here when using mods our main experience is with the Speedrun modpack

latent moon
#

Dash striking into the rush helps a ton btw

#

A lot faster and less clunky

little lark
#

I'd rush, then dash

rotund tangle
#

Dashing after the rush is also something that you should do

vague wing
#

Do we need to defeat Charon to advance some other story or gameplay element beyond a 20% discount for the rest of the run?

rustic vale
balmy quail
#

I got a dumb question

#

So what skills do I use for the bow

#

Or combos to be exact

rotund tangle
#

My favorite Chiron build is Heartbreak Strike + Drunken Flourish

Gets Privileged Status easily, you can get the Low Tolerance Duo (gets you more Hangover stacks), and if you add Artemis on Cast, and maybe Pressure Points and Hunter's Mark, their triple Duo synergy is amazing with Heart Rend (Crits do more to Weak enemies, and Splitting Headache, (adds Crit chance to enemies with Hangover), you could also add Ares' Curse of Vengeance and go for Curse of Nausea (Hangover deals damage faster)

#

Though I don't think I've ever gotten the whole build going because of Underworld Customs

latent moon
#

so you gotta be more specific lmao

#

generally ignore the special unless you're using chiron or rama

rotund tangle
#

Best Hera build at low level is probably Trippy Flare + Stygian Soul, at maxed it's probably Crush Shot

#

But I only used Hera a few times cause it's more punishing if you suck at aiming than Chiron

balmy quail
#

Thanks

rustic vale
#

As far as I can tell the aim assist for controller works far better than whatever kbm has

#

I think it’s the stick aiming tbh

#

Genuinely, cast builds are more viable than special builds on bow excluding Rama

lavish sorrel
#

There are two or three strategies for zagreus bow I am aware of.

  • ZAP, with artemis attack, poseidon dash (and zeus cast or special, or call, just to open lightning rod)
  • shackle start, then either keep shackle if you don't see a strong attack along the way
  • (mainly high heat) artemis attack/cast or aphrodite attack start
frozen lion
#

For hammers, twin shot and whichever one gives +150% damage to nearby foes are generally instant takes

#

Triple shot as well, but twin shot is often preferable

vast raven
#

on zag bow triple explosive is hammer pref (same for all non hiddens) for rama its twin shot perfect

#

triple over twin is just because you tend to play right up next to the enemy over rama where you care more about line ups with shared suffering

jovial flicker
#

Not flurry?

vast raven
#

flurry is more just a hera thing

#

no flurry is mainly just bc of pseudo tech for bows letting you do animation cancels to have higher dps on min charge spam

#

hera does have dif hammer pref though, more on flurry over the others

lavish sorrel
#

(Hera likes flurry a lot because your damage doesn't come from attacks themselves)

high onyx
#

personally on zag/hera bow i like to put drunken flourish or curse of pain to spread status as like a top off (esp curse of pain)

jovial flicker
high onyx
#

agreed

#

usually on hera i go for aphro cast artemis strike pos dash

rustic vale
deep ibex
#

um

#

im stuck in a room

rustic vale
#

Can you move?

deep ibex
#

i dont know what it was

#

i restarted the game, i didnt know it saves mid run

rustic vale
#

which is like 80% of the game as long as you aren’t actively in combat

#

then it sorta depends at times if you’re in combat

deep ibex
#

i dont know why tho

#

i can no longer open the codex for boons

rustic vale
#

usually doors not opening is just Than not dropping his heart yet, a reward not being picked up, or a cast bug on beowulf

latent moon
#

yeah i've never seen anything like that lmao

#

rip

rough mantle
#

Is it worth getting 100% on hades 1 before moving to hades 2?
*beaten final boss 3 times so far

frozen lion
#

Imagine if tight deadline was running down during that

rough mantle
#

Steam achievements wise

frozen lion
#

There's some that may get grindy depending on your playstyle

rough mantle
#

Because even though I feel like im significantly far into the game, I still dont know what that bottom row of keepsakes are

frozen lion
#

3 final boss kills isn't that far into the game btw

rough mantle
#

Oh damn, ill keep workin then, thanks!

I JUST HAD TISIPHONE ALMOST SAID MY NAME

THIS IS SO COOL

wanton zealot

She almost said PeterTCA?

#

No

#

Also

#

Damn, Hades aspect + Quick Spin is so fun to use

little lark
#

Also, does the beginning of Zag's dash have i-frames?

rustic vale
#

and it will keep having iframes until you input the strike part of the dash-strike

little lark
#

OHHH

#

THAT'S WHY

little lark
#

Wait

#

So how come Hades' sweep still hits me even if I dash away from it?

rustic vale
little lark
#

Darn

#

It really is a skill issue

#

I gotta learn that

rustic vale

as someone who regularly speedruns and plays a high heat I just get out of the way beforehand instead of waiting to iframe it

#

I love Theseus' gimmick

#

The fact that he can use the power of the same gods that bless us is such a fun concept

#

And it makes the world a lot more lived in despite it not being an open-world game

#

Like, yeah, you're not the only person the gods give blessings to

#

That's so cool

#

Also his reaction to knowing we have the gods' favor as well is funny

I love him in like

Fun to hate way

#

He's so smug and highfalutin

#

His voice actor did such a good job at playing him

Who’s his VA again…?
Wait, I’ll look it up…

#

The VA’s Cyrus Nemati

#

He also voiced Chaos, Dionysus and Ares

little lark
#

Yeah

rustic vale
#

Unironically like

#

most of the vas were on double duty at least

#

Logan Cunningham voicing Lord Hades, Poseidon, Achilles, Charon, Asterius, and The Storyteller (Homer)

I saw his voice actor video thingy

Yeah

Damn that range is crazy

Even Darren Korb! Hades2Fire

Yep

little lark
#

I just beat 9 Heat with 2 HP left

#

My heart

cobalt flicker
#

So is the only way to beat EM4 Hades to like. Pray.

#

Cus i just discovered that I was NOT close to beating him and theres ANOTHER phase.

rotund tangle
#

Only ever attempted it with the Shield

#

Hope for non-Butterfly/Sneak summons in phase 1 (never even gotten the Sneak but people say it's a bad one)

#

Or get a good enough build that you can just phase him and not worry about the summons

cobalt flicker
#

Ive only fought him once like that and I just did not like it.

#

Normally I can only use one death defiance with him.

He took all 4

latent moon
rotund tangle
#

After I died to EM4 twice on 34 I switched it off on 35 and 36 and it just felt anticlimactic to get to him and beat him so easily, but on the other hand it's so nervewracking to have it right at the end

latent moon
#

certain builds/aspects are gonna be better than others dealing with em4 but at low heat it's doable

#

oh yeah don't run em4 at 36 heat lmao

cobalt flicker
#

Im up to 17 / 18 im not sure which

latent moon
#

at higher heats you typically dont run em4 until like 50 heat

#

and that's bc there isn't much else to take that doesnt sucks

cobalt flicker
#

Talking to veterans apparently

rotund tangle
#

I ran it for most of my 32-40 runs on Shield but yeah it's kind of a luckfest for phase 1

cobalt flicker
#

You can just do heat 50 no problem??

latent moon
#

not me personally but i have done it a few times lmao

#

i've done it on 4 aspects iirc

#

i haven't played the game in a while tho lmao

cobalt flicker
#

I did get to Elysium with the shield but im not sure im capable of it again

#

Its too finicky for me

latent moon
#

what's your pact and build

cobalt flicker
#

Ive never actually looked at guides and stuff what counts as a build

latent moon
#

in this case the boons you generally gravitate to on that aspect

#

like stuff you would aim for when playing

rotund tangle
#

As in "you should be doing 1k damage with each attack" with a typical build on it

latent moon
#

beowulf is kinda just "blow them up before they can hit you"

cobalt flicker
#

Boon wise I usually go for artemis' call , the rest are kind of just "do they make my cast weird (e.g. Dionysus) " and "do I need this for the legendary boons"

latent moon
#

highly recommend not going for artemis call in any scenario lmfao

cobalt flicker
#

Her greater call does big damage, thats why I go for it

latent moon
#

builds in this game typically revolve around getting a duo boon

rotund tangle
#

Artemis and Aphrodite call is basically for if you don't want to worry about it that much and barely use it (which is actually what I did usually)

latent moon
#

consistent dio/zeus smaller calls do more damage

cobalt flicker
#

My zeus luck is so bad

latent moon
#

and actually usable outside of bosses

#

that's jsut confirmation bias lmao

#

also aiming for cast boons aren't great unless your aspect actually buffs your casat

#

and in this game, builds typically revolve around duo boons bc they're much easier to get

#

legendary boons are very impractical to actually aim for

cobalt flicker
#

Okay i didnt realise I was mid run so I cant check what im doing with the mirror or anything

latent moon
#

you can

#

hit the button to check your boons

#

B on kbm, idk what on controller

#

on the top it has the icons for your mirror talents

cobalt flicker
#

Oh

latent moon
#

and also icons for heat

cobalt flicker
#

I never noticed that

#

My game also sounds like its underwater but thats my headphones

cobalt flicker
#

I think this run is chopped because I had none of this information before

latent moon
cobalt flicker
#

I will take peek

little lark
#

I accidentally spoiled myself lmao

cobalt flicker
#

At least youre warned

little lark
#

I won't lie

#

I kinda like it when the game obliterates my entire forehead

#

It makes me wanna be better

cobalt flicker
#

Your forehead WILL be obliterated

little lark
#

I will continue to try and get better

#

Until I plateue

cobalt flicker
#

That was the most stressful fight ever but ARTEMIS' CALL carried

#

At least the music was banging

obsidian rampart
#

is there a way, where I can send feedback to the team, that 16:10 support would be nice?

how many nectr do u have to give to get the companion

lavish sorrel
unkempt acorn
#

Has anyone else used Angelic's 64 heat run seed to complete it themselves?

rustic vale
#

your seed gets altered by a bunch of tiny things you do in a run so you might have the first few rooms be the same but as soon as you smash an extra pot or have an extra cast stone hit the ground you’re now off track

lavish sorrel
# unkempt acorn Has anyone else used Angelic's 64 heat run seed to complete it themselves?

We do not know what the starting seed on it was (the run is unseeded), figuring that out using a RouteFinder tool would take weeks if not longer. Besides, the seed changes throughout the run as shackle mentioned, it takes a lot of skill to accurately recreate a run exactly using a route.

A much more common approach to mod the game to make certain parts of the run no longer RNG-heavy, which is what the hades speedrunning modpack does. And yes, to answer your question, there are two unmodded unseeded zeus shield clearers (one among them being angel), an unmodded unseeded rama clear (by playad) and about a dozen people who've done it modded. (and an old unmodded seeded 64 clear by baj).

unkempt acorn
#

Neat. Appreciate the info fellas! And good luck on your runs

cinder raft
#

Am i mental for thinking dash upper is ridiculously hard to press

#

I want to try gilgamesh but i dont reckon i can do that

mint coral
#

also it doesn't have to be dash + special at the same time, as long as special is pressed during the dash you'll do a dash upper

#

and also you can get away without using gilga's dash upper lol

cinder raft
#

I actually was doing it wrong haha yeah

#

I been dash attacking the wrong way the whole time 🙂

#

You can press dash and then upper after and it still registers so its super forgiving like you said

#

Thankyou 🙂

#

These and hera/hidden bow, and arthur sword are by far my faves i think

rustic vale
mint coral
#

At the same time I assume

frozen lion
cinder raft
#

Yeah i thought dash attack was hit them together like in some other games ive played

#

Much happier with this

#

So if i have the option of a hammer, or a chaos door and i pick the chaos, i will still get two hammers right?

rustic vale
rustic vale
#

actually fists is pretty funny because you can dash-strike and dash-special off the same dash

cinder raft
#

Yeah i noticed that 🙂 makes them really fun

#

When i saw dash y i thought that weps not for me, but its pretty awesome

#

Just did an ares run with it

deft arrow
#

okay chat i just got the true ending am i ready for hades 2 lore wise?

frozen lion
#

Hades 2 can be played blind.

jovial flicker
deft arrow
#

oh okay so not much extra lore after the ending? or atlest not lore that matters

rustic vale
deft arrow
#

theres a epliogue??

rustic vale
#

yeah you can reunite the cthonic gods with the olympians

deft arrow
#

whatttttt

#

i might just watch a video cause i just want to play hades 2 lol

rustic vale
#

I kinda stuck to Hades 1 for speedrunning

deft arrow
#

ah well i wil still watch it just bc yk

jovial flicker
#

I naturally assumed epilogue was true ending

#

Since true implies there was another ending

deft arrow
#

i saw someone say the true ending was just credits roll

#

like when the queen comes back yk

jovial flicker
#

Hmm okay

#

I thought that was just ending lol

deft arrow
#

i mean in this video im watching it says the epilogue is the true ending so idk

#

i might have been lied to

little lark
#

I've beaten the game already

#

I just haven't finished it yet

#

My highest Heat is still 9

frozen lion
#

Gonna try Hades on trackpad, wish me luck

#

lucifer rail specifically

rustic vale
#

I feel like Luci needs extra control

frozen lion
#

Died to witches lmao

#

The reason I'm even playing on trackpad is because I took my laptop on vacation and didn't bother with a mouse so I didn't ding it up or lose it

shell wigeon
#

Hey question what tf do I do after I bring Persephone home??? Because the only plo stuff that is happening is with megeara and even that’s going reaaaallly slow

This will start guiding you into the epilogue

Oh yay okay ty!!!

Why is this game so fun?

You aren’t fully rng for builds but your runs can still swing like crazy

What do I do when my game freezes?

Hopefully they work on that soon

Hello giants

cinder raft
#

Hey guys is impending doom bad on fists?

#

Or does it get good when i get the stacking boon?

#

Cause it feels bad without it

#

I have the chance to purge it is all

frozen lion
# cinder raft Hey guys is impending doom bad on fists?

It depends on the build and the heat. If you have doom on special for Talos or Gilgamesh, it works great since you open a lot of combos with special/dadh-upper, but for Demeter, you'll be specialing at unknown times during enemies' health bars and the delay might suck

cinder raft
#

Ahhh thankyou, i am using it on attack with gilga, but i got hermes 30% att speed boon so its not going off

#

Ooooh its going off like crazy now i got athena ares duo

mint coral
#

Late but yeah

#

Once you get merciful end is pretty much a need

rustic vale

Yeaaah i just melted theseus

#

Thanks guys 🙂

when i encounter artemis

#

why dont i see a gift button

If i wasnt starting with a god boon, but i got exactly what i needed, i should restart and pom blossom yeah?

#

If the latter, you most probably reached the lock

#

Thus need to do her favor to allow ambrosia gifting

little lark
#

Gilgamesh aspect is so odd

#

It should be really good but I keep dying with it

What is the optimal loadout for the boon talents, both green? Increased boons and duos/leggos?

mint coral
cinder raft
#

Ohhh 🙁

#

I played some runs with the extra boons and seemed to get a LOAD more

#

I was struggling to make the builds i wanted before and now its every run

#

Also i wanted to ask if it was okay, is there a fates whim equivalent in this game?

And is there late gods to unlock? Or after ive got persephone back is that all of them

#

Loving this game as much as the second one, after feeling (wrongly) that the weapons were lacklustre at first

mint coral
#

Demeter is the only god that unlocks later

astral stump
#

man

#

why is theseus so hard

#

4 times i reached that chamber out of my 25 escapes

#

and i die to the second phase of that guy

#

always

mint coral
#

Are you fighting both at the same time or killing the bull first

#

Theseus's 2nd phase is much more manageable that way

astral stump
#

Bull first

#

But theseus does too much dmg

#

His throws + melee + god moves

mint coral
#

There's a vid too

astral stump
#

This time he summoned Ares

cinder raft
#

@mint coral my god im an idiot, i mixed up the names

#

That is what im using currently so im happy 🙂

Anyone wanna recommend me a fun spear build that isn't poseidon zeus?

vast raven
#

artemis attack on achilles is cool

old bluff
#

Hunting blades is pretty fun

#

Arty attack and ares cast

cinder raft
#

Okay so i use special attack 4 times repeat?

old bluff
#

Yeah, pretty much

#

Flurry jab is still the best hammer as well

cinder raft
#

Ooh nicely

#

Gonna be a big change from special spam

#

Which is very fun too

#

Whats best on special?

#

Irrelevant?

old bluff
#

Yeah

#

Zeus works ig

cinder raft
#

Cheers, ive sunk into resorting to my faves, zag spear, arthur sword, gilga, and hera bow

#

In lieu of fates whim build recommendations will do nicely

#

Does the rush have to connect with an enemy for the buff?

#

Or have a time limit before falling off?

latent moon
#

there's no time limit, the limit is just after 4 attacks the buff wears off

#

the limit doesn't refresh if you raging rush again, so you have to make sure it's always up

cinder raft
#

Ahh so i have to use it all before i xan get the buff again

#

Can*

#

Thank you very much already enjoying this one

#

Crap im gonna have trouble procing origination this one

mint coral
#

Is 15% less but means you don't have to think about that

cinder raft
#

Will do for the next run, didnt think before hand

#

Anyone got an interesting arthur, gilgamesh or the hidden bow build for after this one?

#

Absolutely loving this artemis spear one

#

Does Artemis work with arthur sword?

#

Also so family favourite only applies to the left side of screen boons right? If i got 6 gods it wouldnt give me 30?

#

Sorry lots of spam i know

old bluff
#

No

#

You would get the 30%

#

Its from any boons

cinder raft
#

Oh damn, nice

rustic vale
cinder raft
#

Yeah i understand 🙂 will be nice to not have to worry about origination

#

I guess i gotta krep 5 diff gods that way tho

mint coral
#

Do you know about god pool?

cinder raft
#

The 4 limit?

#

Im presuming its same as 2

mint coral
#

Yeah

#

Also hermes counts as one for family favorite purposes

#

So you don't need to break the pool for maximum fam favs

#

(and closing the pool is already good anyways)

wise token
#

hey, whats the average damage for artemis' call again?

#

lets say rare, level 1

rotund tangle
#

For greater call, 10(110×0.65+3×110×0.35)=1870

wise token
#

nice

#

yeah that stinks

#

i couldve gotten a better one

rotund tangle
#

Yeah even at Heroic it does less than base Aphrodite greater call

#

On average

wise token
#

damn

#

thats worse than nothing actually

rotund tangle
#

Only with Heroic Pressure Points and Heroic Clean Kill does it beat out 2500 expected value (if I understand how the game's numbers work correctly)

rustic vale
#

so like if clean kill gives 30%
it goes from 300% damage to 330%

rotund tangle
#

Yeah so the math would be 10(130×0.6+3.375×130×0.4)=2530 for Heroic Aid + PP + Clean Kill right

rustic vale
#

Like

#

aphro and artemis just aren’t worth it mathwise bouldy

#

you put as many resources into dio call and you pull out expontentially more value

#

Or zeus call

#

on something that is going to work more efficiently at base

#

4 dio minicalls at common (lvl 1) is 2400 damage total single target damage(against say Hades), but each minicall can rack up stacks on multiple enemies to do that damage to multiple targets

#

and the hangover stacks will charge your call gauge back up after the call is over

#

so you can get a pretty significant amount of your call gauge back from the hangover stacks inflicted by the call

wise token
#

true!

white shoal
#

hey all
I've got a question regarding boon randomization
I tried checking the wiki, but everything keeps taking me to the hades 2 wiki instead T_T

#

basically
if you pick a boon that modifiers your attack or special
does that decrease the likelihood of future boons from other gods appearing that modify said special? (since it would result in a boon swap)

#

or is it unaffected in probability?

white shoal
#

maaaaan
I think I royally screwed my current run
grabbed an exagryph attack modification from a daedelus hammer that dropped my range
didn't realize just how drastically the range drop was gonna be T_T

mint coral
white shoal
#

ic ic
interesting

mint coral
#

On the other side, leaving the slot empty also makes gods prioritize a core boon

white shoal
#

and yup
I doomed my run
couldn't get past elysium
cuz that boss battle is NOT very melee friendly

mint coral
#

Did you take spread fire

white shoal
#

ah, good to know
so selling a core boon is better than hoping for a swap
if you want a different core boon
gotcha

#

yes
I took spread fire T_T

#

hadn't taken it before
and the description doesn't read as bad as it is T_T

mint coral
#

That's a hammer off the prophecy at least

white shoal
#

thought it'd have 50% more range and width than it actually does T_T

#

like
-6 ammo is a rough enough downside
no need to obliterate the range like that too

mint coral
#

Spread fire can be good when used with zag rail

white shoal
#

I don't have enough blood to upgrade weapons yet T_T

mint coral
#

Figured

white shoal
#

invested 2 points into the bow and have 2 points left

white shoal
#

I'm so mad
I almost got my first win earlier today

#

but learning the hades fight was rough

mint coral
#

Filling up cores also helps for duos due to the same core priority thing

white shoal
#

I completely misread that aoe shockwave move

#

thought it was "don't stand inside of here"
instead it was "don't touch the wave"

mint coral
#

Ouch

white shoal
#

had a busted exagryph build, too

#

doin like 700 dmg with it's special

#

with an absolutely massive aoe

rotund tangle
#

Yeah like all the Special hammers for the Rail are great

white shoal
#

it's kinda sad tho
I don't think I like any of the weapons tbh XD

#

but the bow and the exagryph are "good enough"

#

and I guess the spear comes in 3rd

#

followed by the shield

#

then sword

#

gloves are dead last for me

#

I hate melee builds in a game that spams projectiles

mint coral
#

tbf, all weapons are melee

white shoal
#

kek

#

they can be 😛

rotund tangle
#

I hated all non-shield weapons when I started, eventually I learned to like 2 aspects of the bow, 1 of the fists, and 2 of the rail

mint coral
#

Sometimes is also just a matter of clicking divine dash

rotund tangle
#

And shield is kinda melee cheating since it blocks lol

mint coral
#

Funny boon

shield is fine I guess

#

I like that you can do crazy dmg with the shield charge

rotund tangle
#

One rail aspect in particular is THE non-melee weapon

white shoal
#

if you go with a certain hammer upgrade and go crit

mint coral
#

If you mean hestia it also plays quite close range lol

white shoal
#

divine dash is best dash

mint coral
#

Tidal dash is too good

rotund tangle
#

It at least enables range

#

If you really want to

mint coral
#

I think the ones that enable more range are special build spears and chiron

rotund tangle
#

Oh yeah hidden Spear I used at range a bit but I never went higher than 8 heat

white shoal
#

my biggest issue atm
is most boons scale quite poorly

rotund tangle
#

Chiron too

mint coral
white shoal
#

yes

#

there are outliers
that scale well

#

but for the most part

rotund tangle
#

Mostly cast boons scale well

white shoal
#

a lot of boons just can't keep up with the health increases at higher floors

mint coral
#

Yeah in general most scaling comes from extra sources

#

Chaos/hermes/mirror/other boons

white shoal
#

problem is, chaos damage scalars don't affect core boons that add rider damage sources

mint coral
#

Hmhm

#

Hermes is your best shot for that

#

Hyper sprint + rush delivery

white shoal
#

hermes keeps offering crappy options T_T

rotund tangle
#

Hyper Delivery is insane but I never actually got to use it

mint coral
#

Even greater haste + rd can be good if you can then stack ichors

white shoal
#

don't think I've ever seen hyper delivery

rotund tangle
#

Hyper Sprint + Rush Delivery like they said

white shoal
#

wut dat

rotund tangle
#

If I understand correctly if you dash right before or after an attack your damage is doubled (with best rarity RD)

mint coral
#

Hyper sprint is +100% movement speed after dashing

white shoal
#

meh

mint coral
#

Rush delivery converts movement speed into global dmg (common converts 50% of speed into global)

white shoal
#

ic

#

haven't gotten rush delivery offered to me yet

mint coral
#

So hyper sprint + common rd is 50% global damage

white shoal
#

it's mostly "side hustle" or +10% atk/special speed

mint coral
#

You need hyper sprint or greater haste for it

mint coral
rotund tangle
#

Oh yeah I always forget about Sturdy lol

mint coral
white shoal
#

ngl
I wish there was a way to guarantee a daedelus hammer at the start of a run

#

cuz hammers are so important for deciding on what build you wanna go with

mint coral
#

I blame some of the weapons for being so hammer dependant

rotund tangle
#

In my personal opinion the Rail is super hammer dependent just because Cluster Bomb + Rocket Bomb exists

white shoal
#

don't forget about the giga nuke

mint coral
#

I wouldn't put it like that

old bluff
#

Eh

white shoal
#

giga nuke is fun

old bluff
#

It does pretty well without hammers

mint coral
#

^^

old bluff
#

And a lot of the hammers are good

mint coral
#

Just gotta know your zeus + poseidon

old bluff
#

It is just that clockets is really busted

white shoal
#

I also like the burst fire hammer option, too

mint coral
#

Delta chamber zagluv

white shoal
#

wut dat

mint coral
#

Burst fire hammer
3 shot burst, no reload

white shoal
#

oic

mint coral
#

And also stupidly important
It gives you iframes on dash strikes

white shoal
#

O.o

#

you get iframes???

old bluff
#

Ye

white shoal
#

O.o

old bluff
#

Delta gives iframes back

mint coral
#

Normally dashes have iframes, dash strikes remove them

old bluff
#

Hence why it is the heat choice

mint coral
#

And then yeah delta gives them back bc of a bug or something

vast raven
#

ye bug

white shoal
#

the thing I dislike about normal atk exagryph

#

is it doesn't make out auto reload once you run out of ammo

#

so you can be sitting there like an idiot firing blanks

mint coral
#

Ammo management is real

#

But I get ya

white shoal
#

that
and they put the reload button on a gawdawful location for controller

#

R3? really?

old bluff
#

Ye

mint coral
#

Oh please remap if you haven't already

#

I do l1

old bluff
#

Ye

white shoal
#

I don't know what to remap it to, is the problem

old bluff
#

Left bumper in the most popular choice

white shoal
#

cuz all other buttons are taken

mint coral
#

L1 is codex by default

#

Iirc

old bluff
#

Ye

white shoal
#

oic

mint coral
#

Just swap that

white shoal
#

what's LT?

mint coral
#

I wanna say call?

old bluff
#

Summon maybe?

mint coral
#

That's my special so I can't remember default

white shoal
#

huh, weird
I thought that was RT

mint coral
#

Is prob summon

old bluff
#

I have cast on lt

white shoal
#

wait

old bluff
#

And have for like 2 years at this point

white shoal
#

what's summon?

#

I thought call was summon

mint coral
#

Big locks in the keepsake cabinet

white shoal
#

but their different?

mint coral
#

You'll get them way later

white shoal
#

le sigh

#

hmmm
I can't decide if I like LT or LB better for reload

#

they both feel equally good and weird

mint coral
#

In my case I ended up swapping reload-codex/summon-special

white shoal
#

here's what I just swapped to for now

#

oh

mint coral
#

Need to use embeds

white shoal
#

guess we can't post pics here :/

#

rip

mint coral
#

Use a dm/private discord > right click > copy link

white shoal
#

meh
whatevs
not that important XD

#

(would be nice if they had a generic "images" channel to share pics that you can then link to)

#

bruuuuuuuh
fighting alecto with 55% reduced movespeed is rough

high onyx
#

thats what i did n it made it way easier

white shoal
#

yeah
that's what I did

#

doesn't matter anymore tho

#

got delta chamber

#

XD

high onyx
#

nice

white shoal
#

and seeking fire

high onyx
#

id also recommend swapping cast n reload when using hera bow or beowulf shield

#

it makes loading casts into firing less cumbersome in my experience

white shoal
#

ic ic

#

ho boi
goin into hades fight with 14 hp
yipee

rustic vale
white shoal
#

I'm still early in meta progression

#

so I have no points put into any of the exagryph forms

rustic vale
#

Yeah

#

And of the options

white shoal
#

I've only put 2 blood points into the chiron bow

rustic vale
#

Zag rail is the last one you should be putting points into of the rail options

white shoal
#

yeah
cuz delta chamber exists XD

rustic vale
#

…not why

#

tbh

white shoal
#

XD

rustic vale
#

Delta chamber is strong but not as a dps hammer it’s a safety hammer

white shoal
#

ye
but it makes zag rail pointless

rustic vale
#

It’s bugged and adds the iframes back to your dasha:548&3:

white shoal
#

kek

rustic vale
white shoal
#

I don't pick it for the iframes

#

bugs are bugs 😛

rustic vale
#

It’s not really a dps up since all the

#

the internal cooldown of lightning strike messes with the multi-hit

white shoal
#

it's more a convenience/utility pick

rustic vale
#

I’m pretty sure it’s a dps down for a defense up

#

at least on a conventional lightning strike build

#

Spreadfire is nice my current overall speed pb uses it

white shoal
#

I dislike spreadfire cuz it's range is too short

#

I hate melee builds

rustic vale
#

I’m already playing at that range anyways

#

with rail

white shoal
#

ew

#

gross

rustic vale
#

It takes away the midrange which is a teeny bit annoying

white shoal
#

there're too many shotgun projectile attacks that just royally screw you over at those ranges

rustic vale
#

Like

#

It’s hard to tell newer players this but the only real ranged weapons are chiron, hestia, and hidden spear

white shoal
#

all I know is melee sucks 🙁

#

I especially hate the gloves

rustic vale
#

Can’t really abuse dash boons at range to nearly the same extent

#

and like

#

take bow for example

white shoal
#

only dash boon I like is divine dash

rustic vale
#

a ton of the best hammers incentivise playing at shorter ranged

white shoal
#

all other dash boons suck

rustic vale
#

Tidal dash is stupid powerful

white shoal
#

blech

rustic vale
#

it’s just damage and not defense

white shoal
#

I've never been fond of using your only defensive skill for offense

rustic vale
#

You can still dash out of the way for attacks? It just happens that the best dps option for most weapons is their dash-strike

#

like bow is nigh unusuable without it

#

rail it lets you reposition while firing

white shoal
#

been using basic bow just fine without dash strike

#

chiron bow prefers dash strike tho
cuz you wanna weave dash strike > special

#

but base bow is just fine withou dash

rustic vale
#

the other bows prefer it as well since you stay mobile while outputting the same amount of base damage / second

#

but can benefit from chaos dash-strike boons on top of thT

#

like

white shoal
#

that said
I really like the hammer that just removes the charge attack on the bow

#

the perfect charge adding only 10 dmg just isn't worth it most of the time

rustic vale
#

it adds 15 base damage on standing and 10 on dash-strikes

#

since it’s a 1.25x

white shoal
#

what does?

rustic vale
#

Perfect shots

white shoal
#

no?

rustic vale
#

Yes?

white shoal
#

I go from 60 to 70 basic bow damage

#

and 40 to 50 on dash

rustic vale
#

goes to show how I haven’t standing striked in like 400 runs

#

I could’ve sworn it was a 1.25x on base damage

white shoal
#

nop

#

or

#

hmm

#

now I'm doubting myself

rustic vale
#

That actually makes standing striking a worse base damage output per second if true

white shoal
#

well
I may be wrong, actually
I legit can't remember now XD

rustic vale
#

while not benefiting from dash-strike damage boons and also not being able to stay as mobile

#

and not benefiting from dash boons either

white shoal
#

okay
just tested

#

did 66 base damage

#

and 77 power shot damage

#

seems to be adding a flat 10 dmg that is then modified by dmg multipliers

rustic vale
#

well yeah

#

I said it was base damage bouldy

#

That part was never a question

white shoal
#

XD

rustic vale
#

So yeah

#

dashstrikes not only have better speed and utility, they also have better damage output before you factor in dash-strike boons

#

and being able to abuse dash-boons

white shoal
#

standing attacks have better alpha damage tho
for 1 shotting mobs

rustic vale
#

Fiery Presence usually does the trick for yhat

#

With the usual amount of sddirive

#

additive

#

I don’t think there’s anything in tartarus that survives 1 extra shot from a dash-strike compared to a standing strike

#

plus you can fire off 50% more dash-strikes than standing strikes in the same amount of time so it does add up for like all the usual enemies

#

Being faster is also damage reduction and dps preservation because it means you can move to avoid enemies and enemy attacks more frequently

#

Maybe I’m a little silly to keep arguing this but it is my lifeblood as a speedrunning bow main

#

I like talking about bow

white shoal
#

see, therein lies the rub: I am most definitely NOT a speed runner 😛

#

okay so
why does it feel like I'm making fewer successful dash attacks after taking hunter's dash?

rustic vale
white shoal
#

no

#

like

#

I'm not getting the faster charge up as often

rustic vale
#

That’s on you, hunter dash doesn’t change anything about how your dash-strike works

white shoal
#

it shouldn't change anything

#

but it's really weird
I never had an issue pulling off dash attacks before picking it

rustic vale
#

You should be getting the faster charge everytime as long as you’re hitting dash and then holding strike before the dash ends

#

Like how you input any other weapons dash-strike but you need to charge it because it’s bow

white shoal
#

yeah I know

#

I can do a successful dash attack no problem
but it really feels like half of 'em are failing now after taking hunter's dash
it's so weird

rustic vale
#

Weird

#

Hunter dash doesn’t change any of the mechanics of it

white shoal
#

it's probably not a bug
probably just me being weird
I dunno

#

sold it anyway
cuz I want divine dash

rustic vale
#

I’m more partial to tidal or divine dash on bow than hunter like you can supply generic strike +% very easily between chaos,hammers and wells

#

but divine dash is really nice defense and tidal dash offers immediate damage that bow lacks for styx

white shoal
#

yeah

#

I grabbed it without thinking XD

#

brain didn't catch on that it was a dash core ability boon and not a passive boon XD

#

welp
time to brick my run with a chaos gamba

#

-45% movespeed
for +35% special damage

rustic vale
#

Oh wait on chiron

white shoal
#

chiron bow
with deadly flourish

rustic vale
#

Then it’s understandable

white shoal
#

XD

rustic vale
#

Any other bow and you’d be insane

#

*unless the other curses were far worse

white shoal
#

kek

#

gawd I need more titan blood

#

need more arrows on chiron bow

#

fml
lost the rarity upgrade gamba again
rolled sure footing and bronze skin T_T

rustic vale
#

What were you even hoping for it to hit?

white shoal
#

deadly flourish?

rustic vale
#

The base +% for artemis strike and special isn’t high enough to justify a rarity boost given how rarity scaling works most of the time bgl

#

since for the +% strike boons it’s a multiplier on the base amount

white shoal
#

can't remember, is concentrated volley a hammer upgrade or a poesiden upgrade?

rustic vale
#

1.3-1.5x base amount for rare + 0.5 for epic + 0.5 for heroic

white shoal
#

ic ic

rustic vale
#

Poseidon wouldn’t have one that directly interacts with how a weapon works

rustic vale
#

like all the bow strike hammers ending in “shot” or the spear strike hammers ending with “jab” while bow specials are all called “volley”

white shoal
#

ic ic

#

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

#

boss fight with chaos penalty

#

too many non-encounter rooms this run

rustic vale
#

-35% movespeed is nothing bc it doesn’t affect your dashes

white shoal
#

still feels abysmal to play

rustic vale
#

only your walking and you don’t walk that much in combat ( I hope)

#

It certainly comes up but it can’t be a crazy amount

white shoal
#

I generally don't like standing still and only moving via dodge

#

I'm at 14 hp...
should I stand in the lava and "die" to "regen" back to 30% hp?

#

or does that not proc outside of combat?

rotund tangle
#

It does

white shoal
#

Oooo
heart rend combos really well with my current setup 😄

rotund tangle
#

Yeah Aphrodite Artemis Dionysus trio goes crazy on Chiron

#

Or at least it's very satisfying

white shoal
#

what does "swift flourish's" special speed affect?

#

how fast it takes to use it? or how fast the projectiles are?

white shoal

Do divine dash only for the funnies

Lvl 50 divine dash 💪

rugged granite
#

I'm only missing 1 boon from most gods to fulfill their "get all boons" prophecies (and Charon and Chaos), do they have anything to do with Stygian soul which I barely used?

#

Was watching a hades video playing with stygian and despite not being too sure about it I saw names I didn't recognize

#

And also stygian soul locks you out of that one duo boon so that's my reasoning lol

jovial sorrel

after i reach the point when i can gift meg the ambroshia, how many times do i have to die in order to be able to interact with her?

Not sure but it seems either random or there's other events queued up for the house

mint coral
#

Dying just refreshes the house so the dialogue might show up

mint coral
#

Do you have the boon index for the codex?

#

Is a purchase from the house contractor

#

Also if you are missing aphro's blown kiss/poseidon's rip current those need crush shot/poseidon's aid respectively

rugged granite
mint coral
#

The index lists the pre requisites for each boon

rugged granite
#

The ones I'm missing are probably just legendaries and I haven't been lucky

rugged granite
#

but no bad news yet

#

yeah I'm mostly just missing legendaries I think

mint coral
#

Hermes legendary has a 1% base so bring god's legacy/yarn of ariadne what not

#

Oh and his legendary also open with plume (keepsake)

rugged granite
#

I'm also missing the chaos boon locked behind fiery presence

#

Can I also check the charon's well stuff?

mint coral
#

That one no

#

You are prob missing the stubborn defiance item

#

Touch of styx (replaces kiss of styx)

rugged granite
#

yep thats the one

zealous vessel
#

Which builds are the most consistent? Just cuz I’ve been tryna do that spear build and literally NEVER get flurry jab and i don’t like how luck involved it is

I don't think I've done a single run with stubborn defiance lol

hades actually got me to stop playing balatro

I’m currently trying to beat Hades 2 but the game is absolutely beating me to death so I return and do Hades 1 runs to feel better

I started hades 1 in january so I'll wait till I finish everything before playing 2

Isn't hermes' Bad News just op with dionysus and demeter cast

(bow does want good hammers but like half of its hammer are good so)

oh lmao

mint coral
#

Not only cast dmg

#

So is basically a common hyper delivery

rugged granite
#

wait what's Kiss of styx premium from patroclus turned into with stubborn defiance

#

actually yk what I'll see it for myself

mint coral
#

Cuz the game tries to make sure you get your 2 hermes and will keep pushing for him

#

(same for hammers)

rugged granite
#

I never picked hermes before knowing you can only get 2 boons from him lol

zealous vessel
mint coral
zealous vessel
#

Which is usually anythint Ares throws at me

zealous vessel
mint coral
#

For hermes your goal is usually greatest reflex (+dashes, more iframes, more dash strike, more dash boon, just good.)
Or hyper sprint + rush delivery

#

Hyper sprint gives +100% movement speed+ sturdy (30% dmg reduction) after a dash and rush delivery converts extra speed into dmg

rugged granite
#

thanatos just stole all my kills

#

😭

mint coral
#

So hyper sprint + common rush delivery gives you a +50% global dmg after a dash for example

#

Epic RD would give +100%

zealous vessel
#

Is more speed and stuff that good?

mint coral
#

So if you start buying ichors from charon wells it gets funny

rugged granite
mint coral
#

Yeah

rugged granite

does it work the same with damage too

mint coral

Dmg is additive

rugged granite

ok ok makes sense

mint coral

Dodge chance is additive funny enough

Not taking any damage

Yup

Oh my

I’ll try that in the future then

It’s probably better than like

Hiding behind the rocks

rugged granite

I'd try that in the run im doing right now but um

#

rail + demeter cast

#

so yk

mint coral
#

Just mind that is not that huge of a blindspot

#

So don't dash or you'll go into the lasers lol

zealous vessel
#

Noted

mint coral
#

The fact it can then give you a lot of dmg is the great part

mint coral
# mint coral And to top it all off movement speed is multiplicative

https://youtu.be/9uxwL56VE2E?t=19m32s (routed run so, don't expect this level of speed) but look how funny it is

This is a RNG manipulated Hades speedrun using the Eris Rail aspect, we start on a specific seed and manipulate RNG using summons, voicelines, casts and all sorts of other actions to get the same boons, rooms, and enemies each run, in Hades Speedrunning we call this "Routed" and it is both extremely precise and incredibly rewarding.

Zeus/dio calls are so comfy

And you get to use them more often cuz you just lesser call

rugged granite

I don't like the calls that do damage over time

mint coral

And abuse call iframes

rugged granite
mint coral

(all calls grant iframes on activation)

That's why lesser calls are good

Even if you waste them you get it back super quickly

Zeus also gets smoldering air for basically free and that's busted

If a mirror upgrade is disabled by the pact of punishment it's not gonna count towards the prophecy to escape the underworld with every mirror upgrade right?

Correct

rugged granite

touch of styx is so stupid compared to the other one lol

You can stack it a lot so is really funny

I love recovering 100% hp off a revive

(there's also the athena shenanigans but that's for later)

rugged granite
#

I'm doing a run with all the pact of punishment conditions I was missing which are all the boring ones

#

stuff like enemies have more hp, more damage, less healing and stuff

#

it all added up to heat 9 which is exactly the next heat I needed for the blade which is funny

#

bruh i died first boss lol

#

I noticed that despite having fated authority disabled by the pact I can still reroll the boons with dice I get from key rooms which is funny too

#

Athena wants to replenish 1 use of stubborn defiance how does that work😭

rugged granite
#

OH

rotund tangle
#

So you have an extra one

That's why a strat for SD users is to kill themselves before picking up an Athena boon

I never ran it though

rugged granite

Nope

man
I can't help but think how similar the opening theme is to the deadcells opening theme

#

like
they're clearly their own things

#

but it almost feels like it was made by the same composer almost

||Hello I have a little question, Aphrodite's blessings in Spanish translation they say the effect of weakness It makes enemies do less damage. Is it right or error translation?||

rotund tangle
#

Yes 30% damage reduction

white shoal
#

pretty sure weakness causes less damage dealt to you, yes

rotund tangle
#

Can be improved with other boons like Broken Resolve

Thanks!

#

btw
is it just me, or is boiling blood not increasing my dmg properly?

#

or do I just not understand how it works?

rotund tangle
#

Only works with casts that lodge the bloodstones into the opponents (so not Trippy Shot, Slicing Shot, or Crystal Beam) which will be indicated by the stone beside their health bar

white shoal
#

yeah, I'm lodging bloodstones into targets

#

but I'm not seeing a 50% increase in atk dmg

#

at best, it looked like I went from 68 dmg to 78 dmg or the like

rotund tangle
#

It should, are you sure you don't have Abyssal Blood on

white shoal
#

yeah, not abyssal blood
this one's purple

rotund tangle
white shoal
#

but wouldn't that then get modified by all the other dmg modifiers?

rotund tangle
#

It's additive not multiplicative

white shoal
#

like, I've got +75% atk dmg from demeter

rotund tangle
#

It goes from 175% to 225% (175+50), not 175% to 262.5% (175*1.5)

that's so lame :/
