i had a legendary boon from Hermes so everytime the Cast expired it'd immediately return to me

waxen juniper
#

That's a good boon! I bet that was fun!

lyric wharf
#

Anyone knows if perfect shot with Hera bow does more cast damage ?

waxen juniper
#

No it does not. Hera lets you attack and cast at the same time

hushed schooner
#

whars perfect shot

prisma wind
#

Power shots are easier to execute and do more damage (bow)

hushed schooner
#

kh

#

oh

#

i like thst one

spare plover
#

what are the easiest heat conditions to start with

lyric wharf
#

Good then I usually don't bother doing perfect shot against ||Hades|| to save time since I relay more on doom from special and mostly doing normal attack for cast.

plucky brook
#

||benefits package, tight deadline, extreme measure 1/2, convenience fee (all of them)|| @spare plover

waxen juniper
#

Guess who got a 5 sack?

plucky brook
waxen juniper
#

However, I also have scintillating feast 😎

plucky brook
waxen juniper
#

Although the only ||demeter|| thing I got this run was just chill on special, I won't lie that that does quite a bit of work as is!

waxen juniper
manic bobcat
#

easy gaem

waxen juniper
#

Even with 100% hard labor 😎

manic bobcat
#

Hard Labor is free

#

Just don't get hit

waxen juniper
#

It's as simple as that 😆

plucky brook
#

not a very chill run then LUL3D

waxen juniper
#

I still had the chill on the special

#

It made a big difference, not gonna lie

#

Plus, demeter only showed up once. Not much I can do about that

plucky brook
#

yeah that's how I've been feeling about some gods lately

#

I start their keepsake and never see again

waxen juniper
#

That's okay, it gave me a new appretion for Scintillating feast :)

#

Plus, like I said, the chill on the special did a lot of work!

craggy barn
#

scintillating feast is 😩 👌

hexed shore
#

Scintillating wine

waxen juniper
#

I tried, but it wasn't having it that run

plucky brook
#

that's gotta be the most nutty combo if you hit it

waxen juniper
#

Well, I have poseidon on the chiron special and sea storm

plucky brook
#

I have a sneaky feeling it might not be as good as you think?

#

lightning has a single target cooldown

waxen juniper
#

Don't worry, you are wrong

plucky brook
#

unless it doesn't work like that due to seastorm

waxen juniper
#

Right about the cooldown, but it's still very good.

#

I also have double strike

craggy barn
#

sciltillating feast and lightning rod actually do deal a lot of damage

#

if you're not running a cast build they're nice to have, just pop one in the wall

waxen juniper
#

I'd just like to point out breaking wave triggers if Asterius bonks himself into a barrier

plucky brook
craggy barn
#

200 damage for that

#

200 damage for that

waxen juniper
#

Yes! I got the poseidon legendary!!

craggy barn
#

the good one?

#

or second wave

waxen juniper
#

Haha, very funny

safe marlin
#

is there a reason that ||freezing vortex|| is so bad... like it deserves a buff it's just worse in all ways than 1 than the cast it modifies and applying a status effect isn't all that great?

waxen juniper
#

I'm assuming you came from Haelian's videos?

#

Freezing vortex is not at all bad.

safe marlin
#

it's terrible

#

it applies chill... as long as the enemy decides not to move

plucky brook
#

applying a status effect isn't all that great
40% damage is bad? thnkng

craggy barn
#

does second wave cause zeus duo or other knockback-effect boons to proc twice?

waxen juniper
#

Yes

#

Yes it does

craggy barn
#

huge catch is still better shadesmile

safe marlin
waxen juniper
#

If ya wanna fish all the time, sure :p

plucky brook
#

I disagree there, I find it very easy to hit PS O.o but c'est la vie

waxen juniper
#

How long have you been playing Pokeroots?

safe marlin
#

150+ hours

craggy barn
#

i should actually try using p. status

#

the extra damage seems nice

waxen juniper
#

That's all I use

plucky brook
#

^

safe marlin
#

family favorite gives you 20% damage boost every run once you fill your god pool and you don't have to set it up

waxen juniper
#

The reason why freezing vortex is decent is because the chill makes the enemy slow down which forces them to stay in there longer.

#

You just have to cast it at a reasonable time

safe marlin
#

sure in theory, but it just doesn't really work out that way most of the time

waxen juniper
#

It is if you cast at a reasonable time.
Eh, it's okay. You won't change my mind, and I certainly won't change yours.

safe marlin
#

I've never had it work out that way, but I run with forced overtime so maybe that's why, but either way I agree we're not changing each other's mind.

waxen juniper
#

5th demeter run now. This one is crystal clarity 😎

steady niche
#

How many hours do you have playing hades

waxen juniper
#

Probably a little over 110

steady niche
#

Wow, how do you even still find stuff to do in the game

safe marlin
#

clarity is the arty duo right?

waxen juniper
#

Yep

safe marlin
prisma wind
#

It's pretty common to still be getting new dialog and advancing at that point

safe marlin
#

I think the aphro duo is better in terms of damage output but is defs more high maintenance

steady niche
#

He must have already done it

prisma wind
#

As in getting better, pushing yourself for higher difficulty/faster times

#

But also just finishing story elements

#

The game has a lot of replayability

craggy barn
#

oh yeah that reminds me i should try out the different punishments

safe marlin
#

yeah story doesn't even really start until you start clearing multiple times

craggy barn
#

||benefits package|| seems both fun and very unfun at the same time

#

doing full runs isn't really hard after the first time

safe marlin
waxen juniper
#

It's just part of the game for me at this point. I don't remembwr when I took benefits package off

safe marlin
steady niche
#

Does doing the game in higher difficulties unlock new stuff?

manic bobcat
#

yeah

#

to a certain extent.

plucky brook
#

more clears = more titan blood = more aspects maxed = more variety in gameplay

prisma wind
#

The game is designed such that you can experience all of the main story content and most of the side stories without increasing difficulty. However, increasing it will generally make it happen faster for reasons

steady niche
#

I understand

#

Thanks guys

plucky brook
#

Aight let's try dice roll chiron build, starting aphro and seeing if arte or dio turns up first akek

waxen juniper

And I got mirage shot

I am so glad to have a group where I can nerd out over Hades.

I have been dying to nerd out over it ever since I began playing.

craggy barn

there's lots to nerd out over

None of my friends understand. 😞

it wasn't a particularly big free dlc

waxen juniper
#

Yeah, Hades absolutely blew up

#

Pretty amazing honestly

manic bobcat
#

Again, won't be surprised if they move on, but 2020 is wild.

#

2020 and 2021 brought a lot of first to this world

brazen lagoon
#

I mean all the attention hades has gotten is 100% deserved

remote hull
#

It really is.

waxen juniper
#

Oh for sure

remote hull
#

The art, the characterization, the detail, the concept; everything about it is amazing.

manic bobcat
remote hull
#

And the fact that it has LGBTQ+ representation makes it even better because there is never a game like that.

#

I love supporting developers who are willing to go above and beyond to show their love and support for others by putting in valid representations.

waxen juniper

#

I mean a game about Greek mythology without LGBTQ+ representation is like a game about norse mythology but set in china

#

Just doesn't make any sense

waxen juniper
#

True

remote hull
#

TRUE.

atomic seal
#

Actually hard to believe last of meme won but then I had look at who was voting behind the scene

#

I'm not surprised anymore

brazen lagoon
#

OK god of war is the exception

remote hull
#

But you know how some people go above and beyond to... beat around the bush for topics like that.

#

They don't want the backlash and hate.

#

But the fact that the romance wasn't forced nor rushed and they actually developed their time is amazing.

manic bobcat

#

this tbh

rigid sand
#

Oh

remote hull
#

That's why I have mad respect for the developers.

manic bobcat
#

no swearies in my minecraft christian server

remote hull

And will continue to support them for what they have done.

rigid sand
#

The Last of us 2 looks really amazing but the story was... Chaos

atomic seal
waxen juniper
#

Yeah, I thing the roguelike aspect of the game really benefits the character development.
You are given time to learn who people are and really connect with them.

remote hull
#

YES.

#

It's so nice.

supple lodge
#

Was TLOU2 the game developed by that studio that basically overworked their staff to hell and back

remote hull

Other games just force this stuff and make it improper rep.

Hades literally brings me joy.

Most AAA studios work their devs to the bone

which is why im mad when people dismiss hypnos as some douchebag coworker that mocks you for dying

is hades on the consoles btw ?

No but I'm not shocked by it

In my opinion, at least. They have history, so it's understandable he is a little sour.

It's little things like that dialogue string that really make a big difference

supple lodge

i simp for characterization

remote hull
#

I love that the dialogue strings together.

#

It's so PLEASING.

#

too many games out there with characters that dont have any personality beyond surface level stuff

I love that the characters are so well written and stuff

Brawl Stars makes my soul hurt because the voice acting and character designs are so good, but there's no characterization beyond the surface level

||Lord Hades'|| character development makes me so happy

You realize using it in this context is not a spoiler :p

Kind of but not really.

"Lord Hades has character development"

Aspect of Achilles and Hades are so good!

#

The spin attack hammers are honestly insane with Hades aspect.
The one that increases the area of the spin attack is unreal.

craggy barn

hidden aspect + quick spin :))

waxen juniper
#

True!!

craggy barn
#

quickspin is usually my go-to for hidden spear, not sure why everyone thirsts for special

#

i mean it is pretty good but i just don't see it

manic bobcat
#

Did you actually get the Charged Skewer and Deadly Flourish combo?

remote hull
#

god now i want to play more, but i shouldn;t

It's late, otherwise I'd be playing too

craggy barn

i already went offf my schedule my therapist gave me playing it earlier lolol

waxen juniper

Whoops

And less charge time

speaking of charge hermes' boons decrease charge time right?

HI

today on small brain moments... I took tidal dash when running rocket hammer on eris KEKW

brazen lagoon
#

5head

supple lodge
#

at least you can sell it when you find the red well of charon

plucky brook
#

I did exactly that

supple lodge
#

nice

plucky brook
#

this was an alright run but threw it away with some bad room choices and thought processes Sadge

#

gonna be 15 odd I think

hushed pumice
#

It speaks a lot to how fast Eris is when a 'meh' run is 15

plucky brook
#

rocket hammer room one

#

I expect more from me lol

#

(top 15 speed run's aspects)

#

5 room sack & ||vermin|| as well LUL3D okay 20 odd

what if every time you sell a boon to the blood fountain, Charon just ducktapes it together with 2 other boon choices from the same god and later on sells them back to you for 150 obols?

It took me 97 escapes until I got ||defiance|| from ||Chaos||. Is this bad luck or do you need to unlock this first?

hushed schooner

is 100 gems for 1 diamond a good deal

if it helps i just turned in a stonewhal this run

#

gonna presume it is

vale bluff
#

Yeah that's a nice conversion 👍
I'd say that any transaction of gems, keys, or even darkness (if you don't need it for the mirror) is worth converting to Diamonds and above

hushed schooner
#

yeah i need darkness for the mirror

#

just unlocked fated persuasion level 3!

#

bothf ateds at level 3 probably getting authority to 4 next with darkness

Woo! Time to Roll 8)

If you ever want to experiment with different settings don't forget it's just a single key to respec the mirror everytime

yep

I don't see the point in diamonds tbh, I have like 30 sitting around O.o

its possible there are memey romance route mods

i found someone on twitter working on a hypnos route mod

someone better be making a charon one

and then he just goes back to moaning

it'd be funny if he broke character for a sec and spoke in perfect sentences

it would

hhhhhrrrrrrraaaaghh you thought you could leave without telling me hhhhhroooooohhhh

you know its a good run

finally i did it

43 hrs

WORTH

loud lintel
#

having trouble choosing between Dark Foresight & Olympian Favor

#

Daedalus Hammer upgrades are amazing but i feel that high rarity boons might be more consistent

#

thoughts?

tepid dust
#

i used to take olympian favor but eventually it was annoying to keep getting things that are permanent upgrades that dont provide the same benefit to the current run as stuff like more poms or boons or centaur hearts

#

also the game automatically should give you up to 2 free hammers anyway

gritty roost
#

i think either way you can only have 2 hammer upgrades max?

#

3 if you gamble anvil

tepid dust
#

yeah

dapper oracle
#

Was it always intended for the temple of styx to only have one BGM?

tepid dust
#

i think if youre not grinding resources anymore it's probably better to take dark foresight

gritty roost
#

well my thoughts if you still need the permanent currencies (darkness, keys, etc) take olympian favor, otherwise foresight

tepid dust
#

^

#

also for most things rarity isnt that important i think, the first pom on pommable boons provides a pretty decent upgrade

brisk trail
#

guys, whats your best time?

dapper oracle
#

Let me find out

#

wait

#

I can't find out

#

because I'm in the middle of a run with a build I hate

tepid dust
#

10:58 gun

#

oof

gritty roost
#

still sub 18 with fist

ebon grove
#

can i get the full benefits package prophecy with level 1? or do i have to go beyond?

whats eris rail?

tepid dust
#

oh shh

uhh

#

dont worry about it ;)

brisk trail
#

a nvm

#

found it

tardy minnow
#

oo me and the server are matching pfp

tepid dust
#

fair lol

brisk trail
#

wait hows it possible only 10:58

#

thats insane, is it not?

tepid dust
#

i think it's above average for casual players but really slow for speedrunners

gritty roost
#

practice makes perfect

ebon grove
#

it's possible if you have a good strategy and maxed out weapons, and you get lucky with boons

tepid dust
#

eris is the fastest weapon

gritty roost
#

whats the WR for hades?

tepid dust
#

take zeus attack and tidal dash, take every available free room

ebon grove
#

eris is the ||lucifer|| aspect?

brisk trail
#

apparently 6:29 its thhe best out ther

tepid dust
#

no eris is the one that gives you a damage bonus after you stand in your special

ebon grove
#

ok

hushed schooner
#

||lucifer aspect || needs to be spoilered

brazen lagoon

It's 5:57 now I think

tepid dust

LOL

holy, speerunners are built different man

I was down to zero DD and then got ||patroclus|| and epic hermes dash

my best time was my last run though

now I have 3 DD, 4 dashes, aspect of ||beowulf|| and possibly the worst cast I have ever played, trippy flare

18:35 talos fists

I am 6 minutes slower than the WR

i dont think ive done a single talos run

hushed schooner

need to upgrade my talos fists theyre fun

brisk trail

unseeded its 6:29

for some reason all 3 of my sub 20 runs are on fists

Yo yo build

and seeded its 4:59

thats nutty

uHHHH

what the

brisk trail

and i thought mine was good

gritty roost
#

you'll get there

hushed schooner
#

i think they were all like 2 or 3 sack runs as well

dapper oracle
#

that's the fastest I've ever run zone 3 boss

#

I killed theseus before the minotaur

hushed schooner
#

yeah i did that last run

tepid dust
#

nice

hushed schooner
#

kind of accidentally

dapper oracle
#

Not for lack of trying, it's just that the minotaur is that much more mobile and dio's cast stays in one place

hushed schooner
#

yeah i was using trippy shot last run

#

no ice wine though 😔

trail pendant
#

||Sisyphus|| is hella nice, he makes all of my runs much better

ebon grove
#

are speedruns done at no heat?

hushed schooner
#

i had a chaos boon boosting cast damage

brazen lagoon
#

Nah

hushed schooner
#

you don't need to spoiler sispyhus

ebon grove
#

i would asume no heat but

tepid dust
#

they tend not to be done at 0 ||heat||

hushed schooner
#

or any of the shades you can visit

brazen lagoon
#

Some heat is enabled for speedruns since they make stuff faster actually

hushed schooner
#

like eurydice and patroclus

ebon grove
#

why is that @tepid dust ?

tepid dust
#

||extreme measures 2 makes lernie heads spawn closer together so you can kill them easier and forced overtime makes enemies spawn in quicker||

dapper oracle
#

haha hangover dash doesn't break pots

trail pendant
ebon grove
#

so heat 2 usually?

brazen lagoon
#

So most speedruns have about 6 heat or more

ebon grove
#

ah 6 because of hydra

hushed schooner
#

sisyphus is like early game people are probbaly gonna find him first few runs its ok

tepid dust
#

also if youre going for real time then ||tight deadline makes tartarus not spawn survival rooms||

brazen lagoon
#

But if you're using IGT then you'd want TD off since survival rooms pause the timer and usually save a lot of time

tepid dust
#

yeah

#

though i usually use it anyway because survival rooms are more dangerous than normal rooms lol but thats also because im just unskilled

hushed schooner
#

i always forget survivla rooms are

#

survival rooms

brazen lagoon
#

I just dash around the place not attacking anything

hushed schooner
#

as in i just continue fighting and forget theres a timer

#

and theyre all going to respawn

brazen lagoon
#

Since attacking stuff might make me take damage

tepid dust
#

also they make me impatient and i am tempted by the money

hushed schooner
#

also got the 15 keys for a titan blood deal in the broker after last run it was pog

#

allowed me to upgrade my hades spear to level 4

fleet narwhal
#

pog

hushed schooner
#

i'm saving my keys up for the 200 key purchase

#

but

#

i'll take titan blood

lavish meteor
#

sorry if its a dumb question but why don't speedrunners do 0 heat?

dapper oracle
#

unbelievable

lavish meteor
#

wouldn't it be easier?

dapper oracle
#

I beat the final boss like this

supple lodge
#

and another heat option is a glorified speedrun timer

tepid dust
#

also ||extreme measures 2 makes lernie heads spawn closer together||

dapper oracle
#

My best time is 21:34 with spear

lavish meteor
#

ohh okay that makes a lot more sense thx

azure tangle
#

how do i unlock the hidden aspect of the fists? its the only one i have left to get

dapper oracle
#

I need hidden aspect of the fists too

#

the wiki says you just wait for asterius to tell you

azure tangle
#

is there something i need to trigger him?

hushed schooner
#

use the fists and just

#

get a dialogue about the fists

#

iirc

#

probably not for discussing here though

azure tangle
#

ahh ok

#

i'm so tired of using the fists though T_T

hushed schooner
#

understandbale

#

feel free to use a different weapon

dapper oracle
#

Asterius will tell you about the fists no matter what weapon you're using, as long as he has taunted you in the past about fighting bare handed

azure tangle
#

hmmmm ok thanks!

dapper oracle
#

I think the first time he sees you with the fists, he taunts you about fighting bare handed

craggy barn
#

if i start a run with an olympian's boon, are they guaranteed to be in the god pool and show up again later or not?

wind oar
#

I think so?

#

I mean most show up regardless

#

For me anyways

#

And if they don’t, you have chances to make them show up with keepsakes

craggy barn
#

do you ever just wanna do a zeus build with chaos shield and then he doesn't even show up

#

he doesn't even wanna give me thunder flourish what the hell

wind oar
#

Damn

#

Maybe try poseidon

craggy barn
#

poseidon does have potential

maybe drunken flourish

Do the good old slam bam into walls with shield bash thing

Surfer uncle is rad

craggy barn

drunken flourish on a zeus run???

loud lintel
#

Quick question, how does the story progress past the first clear? Is it based on the number of clears?
I'm enjoying this game a lot and want to take it slow, so I'm not touching the aspects/PoP until I do a regular clear with each weapon, but I dont want the story to end too fast either.

mint forum

Drunken isn't bad on Zeus imo

i could try athena

deflect on aspect of chaos doesn't seem bad

the blitz disc

it applies hangover

Woot just beat the first run with 5 heat

so you have hangover + blitz disc damage

Just sayin

Or maybe not, seeing as I just murdered the entire discussion

hushed schooner
#

probably didnt

wind oar
#

Oh

hushed schooner
#

idea

#

do a run in hades but determine all your major build choices by die

#

like roll a d6 for weapon and d4 for the aspect

#

etc etc

glad cairn
#

Hey all, does anybody know any low heat Stygian builds for the first three aspects?

hushed schooner
#

stygian as in blade?

glad cairn
#

Yeah

winter harbor
#

For Poseidon just do a cast build, probably lodging because of its special

#

Athena cast is really good, and so is Artemis cast
