#

i have never tried to speedrun anything that isn't zag sword

latent moon
#

rama also kinda poops the bed for speed unless you're like 1 of 2 people

#

actually 1 of like 4

sharp phoenix
#

both my runs on rama i felt like i played awfully but the aspect is just so strong that it doesn't matter i played bad

vast raven
#

rama is neat

latent moon
#

rama moment

#

very easy to be awful at rama

sharp phoenix
#

fr

#

being awful at rama is still doing pretty well

#

it's so goddamn strong

#

i like zag sword cos i feel like i'm actually very good at it

#

even if it's not strong

#

it is 80ish% of my gametime tho

jagged hamlet
#

Nememememone sword is basically just better Zagsword

latent moon
#

if you feel like you're good at zag sword, you'll be shocked to find out you'd also be good at nemesis lmfao

sharp phoenix
#

i was just taught speedrunning with zag sword plume

#

and i find it so fun

latent moon
#

like unironically i dont think there's any build difference other than starting keepsake

#

but like

#

even with plume

sharp phoenix
#

is nemesis conch keepsake?

latent moon
#

yeah

#

bc you want tidal dash

sharp phoenix
#

makes sense

latent moon
#

which you want on zag sword anyways

sharp phoenix
#

i love tidal dash

old bluff
#

It works well with me too

sharp phoenix
#

in my tier list tidal dash is third

latent moon
#

i mean what other dash would you want

#

other than athena for ME

sharp phoenix
#

it's only beaten by great catch (i love fishing), and trippy shot

#

i love trippy shot so much

#

it's so good

stiff obsidian
#

tidal dash 🤢

sharp phoenix
#

trippy shot just has so much like being better than the rest

old bluff
#

Nalei moment

#

You can see the influence

sharp phoenix
#

my love of trippy shot is independent of nalei ngl

#

although they are a big fan of me liking trippy shot

latent moon
#

that tracks

sharp phoenix
#

we do tend to like the same thing

stiff obsidian
#

id pay for you to take my trippy shots

#

ive been getting nothing but those

sharp phoenix
#

why would you ever want to not see trippy shot?

#

it's so much damage

#

and you can pre trippy things very easily

stiff obsidian
#

not in high heat

sharp phoenix
#

i do think tidal dash in a vacuum is better than trippy shot but i think that trippy shot is so much better than the rest in a way that tidal dash is like on a similar level to divine dash and like passion dash isn't that much worse

sharp phoenix
stiff obsidian
#

ideally none

sharp phoenix
#

my highest heat is 20 cos i'm still pretty new (i have 20 heat on sword and like 10 heat on my next highest heat weapon_

stiff obsidian
#

dont want it to steal poms

sharp phoenix
stiff obsidian
#

20 is great

sharp phoenix
#

ohh u don't want it to pom

stiff obsidian
sharp phoenix
#

20 seems pretty easy on sword at least

#

i've watched nalei on 50 heat a few times and i could not do that

stiff obsidian
#

yea it does

sharp phoenix
#

20 heat lets the majority of your pact be on the free stuff

stiff obsidian
#

try 24

sharp phoenix
#

i realised that everything over 20 is exponentially harder

#

cos ur taking the stuff that rly sucks

#

up to like 18 you can have very free settings

#

like extreme measures 3 and 2 timer things with middle management

#

is already like 12 heat or so

stiff obsidian
#

ok i lied tdash is great

sharp phoenix
#

i feel like for my heat level the last timer heat is kinda free given i do most runs in like 17ish minutes but i get very stressed out by the timer

#

also tartarus is slower than anything else for me

sharp phoenix
#

it has some of the utility of divine dash if they're next to a wall anyway

stiff obsidian
#

i just like blade dash better

#

so classy

sharp phoenix
#

i do know that blade dash is the highest dps

#

but tidal dash is very close

#

and gives you poseidon

#

and i like poseidon

#

more than ares

stiff obsidian
#

yea ares sucks for support

sharp phoenix
#

i lowkey find divine dash boring which is why i never rly take it

#

i'm still low heat tho

#

once i'm higher heat i will be much happier to see it

#

i just don't need the i frames rn

stiff obsidian
#

funnily im currently avoiding ddash

#

because ive become too reliant on iframed dashes

sharp phoenix
#

you could never be an acid

#

you're way too based

stiff obsidian
#

lmao

sharp phoenix
#

in my non sword runs i generally try to throw early to make it a challenge

#

like taking crystal beam

#

i kinda suck at non sword

#

i don't wanna sound cocky but i am very good at sword

#

i have never lost a run after beating my first run with sword

#

i think my worst aspect is the spear hidden one

#

i'm so bad at working out when to try heal

#

i can do the double dash tech thing every time cos i was taught that before i started a run

#

but i lost at like 10 heat which is embarassing

sharp phoenix
#

you take shop for sure right

#

i do have a weird thing with duo rooms where i can't take poseidon second cos i am tragically very colourblind

#

and can never see the poseidon waves

stiff obsidian
#

damn

#

i think there are colorblind mods

sharp phoenix
#

i refuse colourblind mods

#

they make every colour different

#

and i like the general colour scheme of hades

#

i am basically fine other than traps in act 2/3 and poseidon duo rooms

stiff obsidian
#

i think they outline stuff rather than recolor but i dont know much tbh

sharp phoenix
#

oh that's kinda fire

#

i like that

#

i generally hate colourblind settings cos they just make things weird colours

#

i don't wanna run modded hades tho until i'm top 10 in something

#

otherwise what's the point

stiff obsidian
#

damn

#

thats gonna take a while

sharp phoenix
#

i think my pb for zag sword was like 17th or something

#

it was 9:20 while i had like 20 hours in the game

#

i for sure can make top 10 in not that much time

sharp phoenix
#

i am saddened

#

tidal dash is such a good pom target

stiff obsidian
#

upto lvl 4 i was like alright i dont hate it but now im being trolled

sharp phoenix
#

is that rare tidal dash as well?

#

common is 35 right?

stiff obsidian
#

yes

sharp phoenix
#

you are being trolled

#

john hades hates you

#

and is personally making your rng bad

#

what is the easiest aspect for high heat btw?

stiff obsidian
#

upto 50 id say hestia

sharp phoenix
#

i have done a couple runs with zeus shield and it feels very strong easily

stiff obsidian
#

zeus also works

sharp phoenix
#

shield having a block mechanic feels very good for low heat

#

and zeus having a way to deal damage while blocking is kinda nuts

#

i have only done 2 runs but it felt easier than anything i have done

sharp phoenix
#

they hate you and they want you dead

#

zeus aid as well

#

like anything that isn't lightning strike ur happy with

stiff obsidian
#

fr

sharp phoenix
#

from my limited experience i have zeus aid as the best call, athena at second, dionysus at third

#

i like having agency while the call works

#

so i don't love poseidon/ ares things that lower the dps

stiff obsidian
#

poseidon call is actually rly underrated

#

for heat atleast

sharp phoenix
#

you get some i frames from any call so even zeus can be a panic button

stiff obsidian
#

the damage can get crazy

sharp phoenix
#

but i like being able to control my character properly in the call

#

i am also kinda new to the game so i can be objectively wrong

#

i like poseidon a lot more than ares

#

poseidon has good movement tech with the invelnerabily and with rupture it can stack up some very good damage

stiff obsidian
#

yeah ares call is dog 💩

sharp phoenix
#

for me zeus and poseidon are the two gods i wanna see more of whenever i get them

#

cos every zeus and poseidon kinda means just more damage

stiff obsidian
#

poseidon call is as good as you can move iwth it

#

can hit the same target 2-3 times i think

#

if u do it right

sharp phoenix
#

i can always get 2 hits with poseidon call, i would struggle for 3 tho i'm sure it's possible

#

i just think that zeus having jolted and poseidon having rupture means they are the two gods that scale upon themselves

#

like more zeus means more jolted and more poseidon means more rupture

#

in that order

#

jolted is for sure better

#

also drowning wave is crazy

#

and lightning rod

#

like the duo boons go hard af

rustic vale
#

more zeus doesn’t really make for more jolted, at least on rail

#

You’re probably maxing out on the frequency of application

sharp phoenix
#

and on sword u do not want zeus attack or special

rustic vale
#

but for pos fs more knockback means more rupture procs

stiff obsidian
#

fs

#

false side

#

died to heros, wow im washed

sharp phoenix
#

i think zeus has so many boons that scale upon zeus boons

#

lkke double strike

#

and uh the thing tha hits bosses witha lightning bolt

#

with jolted

#

also zeus call

#

and lightning rod

#

insane dps from my experience at least

#

lightning rod is so nuts for me cos i love seeing zeus and artemis

#

so the duo boon is kinda frequent

#

all my takes are somewhat speedrun focussed given my teacher is a speedrunner

stiff obsidian
#

another trippy shot , why do i even take dio atp

#

thats like 20 in a row

sharp phoenix
#

why are you ever unhappy about trippy shot

#

it's so much damage

stiff obsidian
#

it isnt

sharp phoenix
#

who cares that it doesn't lodge

stiff obsidian
#

for me

sharp phoenix
#

rly?

#

i am intrigued as to how trippy shot could be bad?

#

the damage is crazy

stiff obsidian
#

not with ap2

#

you cant really build around it

sharp phoenix
#

what is ap?

stiff obsidian
#

aproval process

sharp phoenix
#

what does that mean?

stiff obsidian
#

heat option

sharp phoenix
#

i am very bad with namesw

stiff obsidian
#

crosses off the boons

sharp phoenix
#

that's surely very chill

#

trippy shot is the best cast

stiff obsidian
#

best is pushing it

sharp phoenix
#

imo dionysus has the best cast, a very good attack boon, the second best call and strong drink early is pretty good

sharp phoenix
stiff obsidian
#

idk lol

sharp phoenix
#

trippy shot is so much damage

latent moon
#

i mean cast is build dependent

sharp phoenix
#

it's crazy

latent moon
#

aphrodite is best on hera, ares is best on achilles, poseidon is best on beo

sharp phoenix
latent moon
#

doesn't mean it's best

sharp phoenix
#

alexis said that trippy shot is best on beowulf

#

idk the rest

latent moon
#

"best"

stiff obsidian
#

in low heat ig cuz it can 1shot tart stuff but idk what else u would use trippyshot for

latent moon
#

it's like

#

highest damage potential not best on beo

sharp phoenix
#

alexis is a speedrunner tbf

latent moon
#

i am too

#

although he does way more than me and i haven't played in a while but nothing's changed lmao

sharp phoenix
latent moon
#

if you're willing to gamble on your build then dio beo is best but otherwise it's just not consistent at all and you need so much

stiff obsidian
#

whats ghosting

latent moon
#

compared to just flood shot into mirage

sharp phoenix
#

basically

#

@latent moon choose an aspect for me to learn then

stiff obsidian
#

idm

#

go eris

sharp phoenix
stiff obsidian
#

yea

sharp phoenix
#

nice

jagged hamlet
#

Is this "ghost" as in "ghostwriting"?

sharp phoenix
stiff obsidian
#

i think ghost as in closely follow behind or somehting along those lines

sharp phoenix
#

where ghosting is a big issue

stiff obsidian
#

oh

sharp phoenix
stiff obsidian
#

oh no lol

sharp phoenix
#

it's chill if not i can stream and u can type

stiff obsidian
#

yea

jagged hamlet
#

I'm still quite lost on the etymology. Oh well

stiff obsidian
#

theres no vc here tho

sharp phoenix
#

i added u

#

i'll stream

#

u can type

#

i'll talk

#

don't be weird about my englishness tho

stiff obsidian
#

i was thinking more like ud ask what to do occasionally and id tell you lmao 🤣

#

idk if i can join stream rn

sharp phoenix
#

ah dw

#

is there a channel i can stream in here

stiff obsidian
#

no

#

tho they should add one

sharp phoenix
#

rip

#

what weapon is eris?

#

i'll let u know at most decisions

#

found it dw

#

it's gun

sharp phoenix
#

imma force zeus?

stiff obsidian
#

dont mind dio completely trolling me rn

sharp phoenix
#

do i force zeus?

stiff obsidian
#

yeah

sharp phoenix
#

cool

#

and take attack boon right

stiff obsidian
#

yea

#

what heat

#

also are you speedrunning or just regular run

sharp phoenix
#

regular run, i only speedrun sword

#

my gun is only 6 heat

#

i'm doing extreme measures 2 cos lernie is so free

#

and forced overtime 1 cos i wanna learn fater move patterns

stiff obsidian
#

do over time 2 then

sharp phoenix
#

i like ur thinking

#

i'lll turn off em

stiff obsidian
#

cuz you would have to learn it all over again when you go to 2

sharp phoenix
#

i like the idea

#

i'm doing just overtime 2 then

#

if i have no attack boon on the forced zeus

#

but uh

#

epic electic shot

stiff obsidian
#

do you have rolls

sharp phoenix
#

do i just take the electirc shot

#

i have rolls

#

i have maxed mirror

stiff obsidian
#

yea then roll for attack

sharp phoenix
#

coolio

#

epic on attack

#

u are goated

stiff obsidian
#

gun without an attack is rly bad

sharp phoenix
#

i forgot to change mirror settings btw

stiff obsidian
sharp phoenix
#

so i have high confidence and uh

#

the thing that doesn't give me more max health

stiff obsidian
#

like when you go thru rooms?

sharp phoenix
#

i have pom, health and erebus poseidon

#

i think i could do the erebus like 80% of the time

sharp phoenix
#

i have the speedrun settings on rn

#

lowkey on gun i could do erebus like 90% of the time

stiff obsidian
#

oh ok i misread

sharp phoenix
#

so idk what i pick

stiff obsidian
#

is this like chamber 3?

sharp phoenix
#

i think so ye

stiff obsidian
#

go for it then

sharp phoenix
#

sure

stiff obsidian
#

epic attack aswell

sharp phoenix
#

i did the erebus

#

flood shot

#

hydraulic might

#

sunken treasure

#

it's flood shot right?

#

or roll

#

i could take the tidal dash

stiff obsidian
#

hm

#

actually

#

take flood shot, you can get tdash later

#

and now youve opened up sea storm as well

sharp phoenix
#

i think i agree so ty

#

what does sea storm do

#

i just know that flood shot is a good cast

stiff obsidian
#

all poseidon boons also do lightning damage

#

so every dash would also do lightning

sharp phoenix
#

that's crazy

stiff obsidian
#

yea its insane

sharp phoenix
#

so now it's athena centaur heart or money

#

i think just athena right

stiff obsidian
#

athena if you want divine dash otherwise heart

#

cuz ur on high confidence

#

money if ur confident with ur hp

sharp phoenix
#

like i wouldn't hate divine dash

#

but i'm low heat

#

and it's boring to divine dash

#

so pick for me

stiff obsidian
#

yea that would also lock u out of pos dash

sharp phoenix
#

so heart?

stiff obsidian
#

yea

sharp phoenix
#

nice

#

i don't want the run to be free

#

which divine dash would do

stiff obsidian
#

i think tdash would make it even more free lol

#

cuz eris when it hits all the right boons just melts everything

#

can prolly play blindfolded

sharp phoenix
#

only room now is pom btw so i'm doing it

#

lightning strike or flood shot?

#

it was a quick room

stiff obsidian
#

atk ofc

sharp phoenix
#

i assume lightning strike

#

cool

#

forced gold room next so imma just do that

#

artemis on door

#

and shop

rustic vale
#

Shop for speed

sharp phoenix
#

hydralite that i don't need

#

night spindle cld be ok

#

but i have not used magenta yet

stiff obsidian
#

not needed save your money for shops

sharp phoenix
#

chimera jerky is meaningless- i have no special damage

#

i assumed so

stiff obsidian
#

how much money you got

#

well regardless i think you would still go artemis here i think

sharp phoenix
#

my game crashed

#

be back in a minute

#

i have a good laptop so confusing that it crashed

stiff obsidian
#

rip run?

sharp phoenix
#

ffs it didn't save anyting

#

from the run

#

pick another aspect to ghost me for then

stiff obsidian
#

😭

sharp phoenix
#

i was strong

#

also that is my second ever crash on this computer

#

i spent a lot on this laptop

stiff obsidian
#

run was going great as well

sharp phoenix
#

fr

#

pick something new so it doesn't seem like i lost progress

#

i have the blood to max anything i think

stiff obsidian
#

eris is the only aspect im good with

sharp phoenix
#

so doesn't matter if i haven't played it

#

pick somethign fun

#

idc if ur goood at it or not

stiff obsidian
#

hm

#

hestia

sharp phoenix
#

i have barely played anyting other than zag sword

#

what weapon is that?

stiff obsidian
#

another rail

#

plays very different

sharp phoenix
#

also lemme change my mirror to be not the speedrun settings

#

ite i maxed it

#

i had not unlocked it

#

so i have not played it

#

what is my starting keepsake?

#

i assume this weapon is shot, reload...

rustic vale
#

Shoot reload special to animation cancel the reload zaggrin

sharp phoenix
#

that is a thing?

#

that's cool

#

special animation cancel

#

sounds fun

rustic vale
#

It lets you start moving again

stiff obsidian
#

you dont have to special

#

just dash

rustic vale
#

during the reload

sharp phoenix
#

what is my starting keepsake?

stiff obsidian
#

hmm

#

idk about unmodded

#

id still say aphro i guess

sharp phoenix
#

i assume it's not plume which is what is currently eqwuipped

rustic vale
sharp phoenix
#

oh ok cool

#

aphro on attack seems good given it's high base damage if i always reload

stiff obsidian
#

aphro is the highest % damage

sharp phoenix
#

i got not the attack

#

i got special, crush shot and uh

#

passion dash

#

i think i either take passion dash cos it's ok or roll

#

ur choice

stiff obsidian
#

roll for attack

sharp phoenix
#

ok

stiff obsidian
#

dam no attack twice in a row

#

lol

#

also

sharp phoenix
#

i still didn't get it lol

stiff obsidian
#

😭

sharp phoenix
#

flousrish

stiff obsidian
#

special ig

sharp phoenix
#

passion dash

#

life affirmation

#

i can roll agian

stiff obsidian
#

nah not worth it

sharp phoenix
#

passion dash is fine surely

stiff obsidian
#

special

sharp phoenix
#

ok

stiff obsidian
#

passion dash is isnt great but more importantly means you cant get tdash or hunterdash

#

also

#

craziest tart ive had

#

180 hp out of tart with 2 rolls and 3 goated boons + uc fodder

#

🤌

sharp phoenix
#

demeter or zeus on rooms, money on erebus

#

idk why i'm asking

rustic vale
sharp phoenix
#

it's so easily zeus

stiff obsidian
#

is it

sharp phoenix
#

is it not?

#

why would i not just zeus max?

rustic vale
#

dem gives a +% strike for you to actually start dealing damage

sharp phoenix
#

so what do i pick

stiff obsidian
sharp phoenix
#

i numbers picks for me ofc

stiff obsidian
#

dem like shackle says

#

he knows what hes doing

sharp phoenix
#

goddamn

#

first time i've actively picked demeter

#

but sure

stiff obsidian
#

i mean yea dem sucks but

#

2nd highest % damage

#

if the atk isnt atleast rare or higher i woulndt bother

rustic vale
#

aside from Hera

sharp phoenix
#

i am struggling with this manual reload stuff

#

also uh

#

frost strike rare

stiff obsidian
#

nice

sharp phoenix
#

snow burst rare

stiff obsidian
#

you can work with that

#

strike

sharp phoenix
#

nourished soul common

#

ok so attack boon?

stiff obsidian
#

yea you took dem to get the attack

#

beacuse you dont have an attack

sharp phoenix
#

my main issue is i never rly hit my first shot but i have to learn to hit that attack

stiff obsidian
#

it takes a while to get the reload -> shoot into muscle memory

rustic vale
stiff obsidian
#

with mouse you just turn off attack at cursor

stiff obsidian
#

bruh choked so hard in phase 3

#

wouldve won

#

i did it again

#

made a savestate of this and then moved the file instead of copy

#

lost another savestate

rustic vale
chrome yoke
#

how to get secret aspect for bow?

chrome yoke
#

guys i feel like this is the run that i finnaly beat hadesmelproud

stiff obsidian
#

damn

vast raven
#

its just strong drink no?

stiff obsidian
#

roll and aid

#

do u not roll for that

vast raven
#

nah athena call is sick

#

ig if u have delta its like fine? but like strong drink feels like it'd be nothing

stiff obsidian
#

yea i thought the same

#

fair

#

call took 5 poms, shouldve sold

#

i just cant beat em4 without patty and a broken build Sadge

#

o actually i can and i die to overtime

#

still a throw

#

2 runs in a row died to p3

chrome yoke
#

any tips for beating hades in general

tough ocean
#

My friend lost their one and only death defy in tartarus then proceeded to get the Athena duo that makes you heal over time and then second try hades

#

Holy crap the shield is op lmao Hades2Fire Hades2Fire

tough ocean
# chrome yoke any tips for beating hades in general

Combat strategy is something you have to learn, but in terms of building your boon layout, my recommendation would be to be aware of what boons you need as prerequisites for secondary and duo boons, and also try to use primary boons that support your weapon. Don't take something like doom, which works well on low fire rate attacks, on your gun, for instance.

chrome yoke
#

alr thx

tough ocean
#

Just be aware of like, Zeus is flat damage. Aphrodite is high % mult. Ares is low firerate. Etc

chrome yoke
#

any good builds for aspect of chrion?

tough ocean
#

Oh yeah big time

#

Get Zeus on your special

#

It'll make every single shot shoot the lightning bolt

#

Dionysis works too

chrome yoke
tough ocean
#

Take a look at Zeus duos, find something you like

stiff obsidian
#

chain shot is good

chrome yoke
#

on aspect of chrion?

stiff obsidian
#

nvm

#

relentless then

chrome yoke
#

woulding reletens volly be better

stiff obsidian
#

could take piercing for prophecty

rustic vale
#

You only get 1-2

tough ocean
#

Nooooo I was lied to

rustic vale
#

The internal cooldown for lightning bolts is 0.2s per enemy

stiff obsidian
#

shackle loves correcting ppl on this

#

🤣

rustic vale
#

well like for chiron it’s especially egregious

#

you think you’re getting 8 maybe even 12 lightning bolts

#

And you max out at like 2

latent moon
#

i remember someone removing the internal cooldown for it but they still said it was mid but idk how much i trust them with that lmao

chrome yoke
#

chain lighting could come be good here

tough ocean
rustic vale
#

dio is fine

#

dio is actually really solid

chrome yoke
#

or thunder flourish?

latent moon
#

neither ideally if it's chiron but i guess you could take the attack lmao

#

or dash

chrome yoke
rustic vale
#

I’d take thunder dash here just because neither other option works well

rustic vale
chrome yoke
#

ahhh ok

#

what on dio then

#

his special

rustic vale
#

Yup

tough ocean
#

My dignity has melted, my innocence shattered

rustic vale
#

hangover works really well when you can just apply all your stacks with one special and aphrodite strike lets you find low tolerance to max out at 8 stacks instead

chrome yoke
latent moon
rustic vale
#

and then all you really need to do is put all your poms on the special

tough ocean
latent moon
#

plenty of other aspects to mess around with!

latent moon
#

it's alright

rustic vale
#

Aphro call bouldy

#

It’s one of the calls in game

tough ocean
#

I'm gonna go back to hades 2 where there are absolutely zero internal cooldowns

chrome yoke
rustic vale
#

You just drop lightning bolts, and chain lightning/support fire

chrome yoke
#

should i take tempest strike from mr god of the seas

#

its on epic

rustic vale
#

should be decent enough for this run

chrome yoke
#

alr

tough ocean
#

In hades 2 I can use the strongest aspect ||pan|| with poseidon and never need to worry about internal cooldowns because I'm using the strongest aspect in the game ||pan||

stiff obsidian
#

get poseidon on special

#

for chiron

#

easily the most fun one

#

its like the only aspect you get to use pos atk/special on

chrome yoke
#

for now i took art special for now

#

if i get something better im switching

stiff obsidian
#

i want to try a chiron pos run

i used to struggle so much on keyboard

more freedom

chrome yoke
stiff obsidian
#

you dont understand

chrome yoke

stiff obsidian
stiff obsidian
rustic vale
#

I’ve played both

#

Pc needs leagues more from you

chrome yoke
#

i like it better

#

it takes skill and brain power

rustic vale
#

I think if I tried to play half as aggresively as I did on controller I’d get carpal tunnel within 30 minutes

stiff obsidian
#

with 2k hours in kbm and like 5 hours on controller, controller is miles ahead for bow

rustic vale
#

aggressively*

chrome yoke
stiff obsidian
#

let me find the clip

rustic vale
#

They are also more comfortable with mouse normally if the 2000 hours weren’t clear bouldy

#

Bow is just not the same

chrome yoke
stiff obsidian
#

yes 😭

chrome yoke
#

yea i dont have that problem...

#

im more acurate on m&k then i am on controller

stiff obsidian
#

ur forced to be accurate on controller because it practically autoaims

chrome yoke
chrome yoke
#

it does that for m and k to

#

am i just built dif

stiff obsidian
#

it feels so good

#

before this run i was just shooting skelly for like 5 mins

#

cuz its satisfying

rustic vale
#

It’s just snappy and you just need to have your thumb in the right general area

rustic vale
#

And this was back when my bow pb was only like 9:54

chrome yoke
stiff obsidian
#

the build is just aphro attack

#

unless im missing something

rustic vale
#

Hydraulic Might/zag bow/ fiery presence are why the first few hits are so massive

#

Actually does fiery presence even prok here

#

Or do I have the bloodstone in before it matters

rustic vale
rustic vale
#

You could probably do this too

chrome yoke
#

gng im going to h2

rustic vale
#

Like you just need to start aphro and hit poseidon

#

for hydraulic might

chrome yoke
#

yea

rustic vale
#

and have a half-decent hammer

#

like I don’t think this even had twin shot it was probably perfect shot

chrome yoke
#

like ive beat chronos like 3 or 4 times and i havent beat hades once😭

#

why is chronos so much easier

rustic vale
#

I’ve heard a lot of really weird things about the difficulty of each respective game

#

I’ve just stuck to H1

#

I’ll probbaly be like a cranky boomer if I switch over

#

“Why doesn’t this work like this from H1”

chrome yoke
#

there are a lot of dif things

rustic vale
#

Ok but you’re switching between games early tizomg

rustic vale
#

only 4 clears on Chronos and none on Hades vs like I’m really entrenched in H1

#

I think I’m more likely to notice the things that I really enjoy about H1 if they get changed whatsoever yk

rustic vale
#

dang

stiff obsidian
#

got both the hammers and rare jolt as well

rustic vale
#

sweet

#

Hi guys

#

I need help

#

Idk what to do and what to upgrade

rancid linden
odd gale
#

Oh and should I use nectar on the same god or not??

rancid linden
odd gale
#

Yeah but the aspect is what idk

#

And how to get the secret aspect and secret keepsake

rancid linden
# odd gale Oh and should I use nectar on the same god or not??

From what I have gathered, one nectar is good enough to get the keepsake of whoever you gave to (except for hades) but if you want the secret keepsakes, you need Ambrosia, and can only be given to some of the non-god characters (dusa/skully/Meg are some of them) and they need more nectar as well I believe.
For the aspects, I don't know what's needed to unlock them tbh

odd gale
#

Oh ok thank you so much

rancid linden
#

I'm still learning myself xD how far have you gotten so far?

odd gale
#

Oh also when you get to the final boss regardless if you win or not you unlock something new which is nice

#

I won’t tell you what it is tho but it is really good

rancid linden
#

I haven't gotten that far lol, I'm stuck in the temple of styx lol

odd gale
#

What is that??

#

Sorry I don’t really know the names

rancid linden
#

Fourth level, after Elysium. Bunch of rats and poison lol

odd gale
#

Oh yeah that one is really annoying

rancid linden
#

Right? I'm getting used to using the cure function lol

odd gale
#

I still don’t know what the cure thing does

#

I had a build that just helped me go through it all easily

stray minnow
#

Asphodel has the best music. Almost makes me forget how hard the zone is

rancid linden
rustic vale
# odd gale Yeah but the aspect is what idk

Sword: nemesis (main functionality is gained at level 1, subsequents improve it)
Spear: achilles (solid at level 1, but vastly improves with more more levels)
Shield: zeus (main functionality at level 1)
Bow: hera (lvl 1 functionality) zag (needs more levels, also isn’t as crazy absurd but is less input heavy)
Fists: demeter (needs more levels)
Rail: eris (always good) or hestia (hestia needs lots of levels)

rustic vale
odd gale
#

Yooo thank you so much

#

I’m not playing rn but I’ll try these

rotund hazel
#

Whats the first companion i should try and get

rustic vale
#

So it might set the bar a bit high

rotund hazel
rustic vale
#

should be fine

#

It really is

#

The main thing it has going for it are the additional resource generation

tepid plover
#

bouldy is my fav

slim glen
#

I just did the barge of death thing for the first time

#

Oh my god that was so bad

rustic vale
#

There will never be a point in the game where you see barge and go “damn could’ve been a worse option”

gritty topaz
slim glen
#

I just thought the bull was one boss

#

He just ran away half health

#

They can run away?

gritty topaz
#

its not the last boss of elysium

#

Its just the bull that does that

slim glen
#

Why did he run away

#

Ohh ok

#

So hes not the boss?

gritty topaz
#

Find out

slim glen
#

Great

#

😭😭

gritty topaz
#

Elysiums boss fight is lowk the hardest Imo

#

Atleast for me but im low heat

rustic vale
#

Call it a tactical retreat

slim glen
#

Oh tuff

#

Do i see him again or

gritty topaz
#

Yes

slim glen
#

Is he nice?..

gritty topaz
#

No

#

Hes going to be very mean

#

Calling you names

slim glen
#

Im really scared

gritty topaz
#

Atleast sometimes

slim glen
#

Ill find out and update back

#

🥰

#

Wow

#

That was somthing

rustic vale
gritty topaz
#

Have some good chats tho

rustic vale
#

You can very very easily contrast him with his teammate Theseus

gritty topaz
#

Holy the credits have crazy music too

rustic vale
#

Have we played the same Hades

#

Asterius is a bro

gritty topaz
#

nothing can fix this.

latent moon
#

is it bc you're also short irl

rustic vale
gritty topaz

#

Zagreus is not that weak willed bouldy

#

He would’ve stopped far before elysium if so

gritty topaz
#

Hes hurt but he has discipline

banger video idea

gritty topaz
#

Cant imagine myself beating one without extra death thingies

#

Always abusing the keepsake for +100 hp res on hades

rustic vale
#

Was it 17-18 minutes rta or am I heavily overestimating

lavish sorrel
#

17:41, still by nitro

rustic vale
#

So it probably maxes out at like 7 wins

lavish sorrel
#

I somehow doubt you're getting more than 6 even with great rng

#

the first greece segment takes actual millenia and the 9 others also take a minute+ each ResidentZag

rustic vale
#

Forgot about the greece segments

rustic vale
#

Like at your stage in the game there’s definitely a ton of room to refine your combat skills, build skills and just general decision that would make it significantly easier to achieve that

gritty topaz
gritty topaz
rustic vale
#

No mirror upgrades at all is a different story

#

If you’re talking about routine inspection you usually avoid turning it on in any capacity until like 45-50 heat

gritty topaz
#

i have no idea what that is im heat 2 on all weapons

rustic vale
#

Oh you were talking about fresh file

gritty topaz
#

Yeah

#

That sounds rough to i only use the limited time one and the one that makes the fury sisters together

#

Chat hades has a lock And ive beaten the main story when can i give him nectar

jagged hamlet
#

Need to beat the game a bunch more times

gritty topaz
#

Oh god

rugged yacht
#

pretty sure i js no hit charon so that was cool

fossil sage
#

whats like the best companion, cuz i mostly see megs on so is that the best?

tepid plover
#

I love bouldy

gritty topaz
#

I have 40 hours in this game since starting 10 days ago i need help

tepid plover
#

40 hrs in 10 days? Thats only 4 hrs per day, I think youre fine, no help needed

gritty topaz
#

And other games

tepid plover
#

Yeah, youre totally fine melproud

edgy pilot
#

anyone else here not like flurry shot with the bow? I just feel like the charging it up is a way easier rhythm to fight out of, it messes with my flow

lavish sorrel
#

force of habit

#

flurry is quite a powerful hammer on all three bows that can get it, just need to learn how to use it ||and learn to pseudotech||

gritty topaz
#

I havent really enjoyed games after yakuza 0 nothing really was good but now finally hades got me aswell

#

I get like 1 good game a year then the rest is suffering

I just did thanatos 7:55😭😭

Using a God's Keepsake Guarantees a visit from that God,
But if you run into that God again, Will the %Chance of Increased Rarity still be in effect?

native nacelle
#

Zagreus us suffering... plz halp... 🩸

raw herald
native nacelle
#

Thanks king

rustic vale
# native nacelle Thanks king

Btw the game doesn’t tell you this but every boon/item/keepsake that boosts the rare chance also boosts your epic odds by 10% and your duo/legendary odds by 10%

rustic vale
#

The aoe, speed and damage are perfect to hit every minibosses and boss with the right set-up very consistently

untold depot
#

Hades being an answer on Jeopardy just now lol

native nacelle
#

@untold depot Really ? lol Nice

#

Like, Literally the game. or like a Mythology question ?

untold depot

The game

native nacelle

hell yeah lol

Yeah, I saw that. I'm upset that no one knew it...

rotund hazel

How do i get the reach the epilogue achievement

The max amount of heat where you will still earn bounties at is 20 right?

gritty topaz
#

I just tried borrowing some money from my beloved merchant in tartarus and dude absolutely obliterated me

mint coral
#

Classic

#

Fwiw fighting him in tart is usually the best

#

You get way more time to use the rewards

#

If you only wanna fight him and win, pray it shows up in Elysium instead

#

His stats don't change

iron bramble
#

Tragic

sleek bison
#

just wondering is the bow the most op in the game ?

lavish sorrel
#

shield / rail / bow each have at least one top aspect for any given discipline (except fresh file), yeah

#

if I had to give arguments for "the most overpowered", that probably goes to shield

sleek bison
#

Really since I'm still very freshly in the game (4days) and i find a lot more success with the bow and long range combat especially in the first two stages

lavish sorrel
#

shield, you can hold down the attack button and nothing coming from that direction can harm you

sleek bison
#

Wait what

lavish sorrel
#

it's a damn shield, what do you expect

sleek bison
#

I definitely didn't know that fact i thought it only charges the attack

lavish sorrel
#

||people when they learn that a shield can be used as a shield shockeline||

#

(dw you're not alone it happens frequently)

sleek bison
#

Well how am i supposed to know this game has no parry system

#

I thought shield won't have that ability

#

New information unlocked

lavish sorrel
sleek bison
#

Any recommendations for god preferences?

tacit ember
#

you can build the base shield similarly to base sword

#

cant go wrong with arti or aphro on the attack

lavish sorrel
#

the main damage-hammer you'd be looking for would be charged shot

sleek bison
lavish sorrel
#

that's the main caveat with the shields, they're rather hammer-dependent to have damage, and their selection is limited to 1 or 2 good hammers depending on shield-aspect.

sleek bison
#

I'm just used to long range and aiming mechanisms

sleek bison
tacit ember
#

idk why you are telling me that since i just told you what gods to use

sleek bison
#

Me see bow me get bow

rustic vale
#

there really is no good option for emojis for “I found this amusing” huh

#

it’s either like full send laughing or really weak half smile

sleek bison
rustic vale
#

I think Spear might actually play more long ranged than bow ngl

#

On avg across all its aspects

sleek bison
#

And tbh i like bow Q since well it stops many attacks that i hate

mint coral
#

Eh I can see how it can be missed lol

#

"hold attack to defend (release to bullrush"

sleek bison
mint coral
rustic vale
#

and then look at like Hades/Guan-Yu being special focused and achilles being a castpect

#

versus like zag/hera/rama all playing close and chiron does too if you use it as God intended (as a discount zag-bow)

sleek bison
#

Hmmmm for few messages here ig I'm playing the game totally wrong

#

No wonder I'm still losing in elyseme

rustic vale
#

You should be able to get through the main story playing however you want

#

story

#

have no clue how I mispelled it that bad

sleek bison
#

I mean time

#

And other question like how many stages does it have

rustic vale
#

8-10 minutes on the in-game timer

#

which is what is used for like 90% of speedrun categories for Hades

sleek bison
rustic vale
#

1 escape attempt but yeah

sleek bison
#

I spend 10 minutes in each stage holy

sleek bison
rustic vale
rustic vale
vast raven

like

#

It’s a roguelite

rustic vale
#

To even clear the main story you need 10 wins

sleek bison
#

Ohhh now we are talking now that's what i want

#

I like spending my night long hours playing it i find it really fun i was kinda disappointed when u said only 4 stages

rustic vale
# sleek bison Oh i see

As you get faster the difference between your in-game time and your real time gets way larger ngl

sleek bison
rustic vale
sleek bison
rustic vale
#

like titans blood/diamonds/ambrosia

#

I think my main save file has something like 480 wins and 700-800 escape attempts thanthink

sleek bison
#

Let me check mine for a second

#

Well apparently i only have 35 escaping attempts i thought i had way much more tbh

rustic vale
sleek bison
#

I just accept my death and try again 💀

rustic vale
#

and you want to keep the first 3-5 rooms the same then rng manip the seed

#

so it goes way differently after that point

sleek bison
#

Tbh i just open pc open hades zone out for hours and enjoy it i didn't think much about most of what u are doing

#

I guess everyone enjoys the game differently you enjoy making the monsters suffer and those monsters enjoy making me suffer

#

Kinda like souls games

rotund hazel
#

Can i get multiple bounty rewards from heat 6?

It doesnt seem to reset

viscid marsh

Oh i had no idea

gritty topaz

I hate this game now every other game feels dull

clever ridge

i think he does show up a little more frequently after you max your relationship with him or i'm just really lucky.

mighty mural

I have maxed out his bond

But I have 3 uses to summon him
