and most people would go for Asterius first
yeah, gl if u melee him...
even range sometimes could be annoying
is lucifer good?
it really must just me that i dun run TD O_O
TD 1 is fine
TD1 is a psychological pact, like AP
it's fine if you don't do really high heat
and even high ish is fine on some weapons
join the TD0 AP2 society
high heat seems to mean too much different though,, between 32 40 50 60
i mean, 32 heat is still easy to me on shield and bow
32 is the start of high according to the leaderboards
32 is the highest that the game will reward you for doing
yeah i beat it pretty early
well, haven't tried all weapon yet
would hate to use the fist
but feels like i should do it on all
people who do all aspects 32 impress me
I'd rather do 40 on stuff I like than 32 on everything
I might do 32 all weapon but ill never 32 all aspect
admittedly I prob did 32 Nem just to have a column of all 32s
tried Arthur for a bit and decided I don't like it enough to do 32
already did 32 heat all weapon 
ur least favorite?
spear was great, shield was ok, rail was fabulous
Fists aren't that bad
yeah I yoloed a 37 on Eris and got it 2nd try
Probably took a week off my Switch graphics card's life span
I got a PB on my 32 heat rail 
yup same
question
if i post a SS on victory tab
is there a way to find it?
assuming it was still there
it's always up there but you might have to scroll
you can search for it in search bar
you can filter it to posts only by you, in that channel
yes
if you recall a unique enough text post around the same time, you can search for that
Arthur 32 was super hard and I have yet to solve nemesis at 32
assuming that was what you were searching for
ah yeah that one
its the only thing in the channel
Smoldering Air, Heart Rend, lots of Chaos boons.
at that time i thought Charon is easy, but doing him no damage is quite rough...
Nemesis shines when everything dies quickly and weeps when they don't.
idk which one is the best thing out of that SS, actual boonless, chiron, 33 heats or unmaxed shackle
u could definitely say the worst is the time š
or won against charon
What weapon doesn't?
that is negligible at that point
but that's what all people do in high heat, TD
u prolly would have a hard time to do 100% free
with a timer
Probably wouldnāt save you 34 minutes though 
Iād recommend doing a few runs with TD3 LC4 and stubborn - it takes practice and youāll need to pass on boons for free rooms sometimes, but it is doable
no thz
i never like to play games that got forced to play fast
well, i guess depends
if it's build in like ghost and goblin, that's a different story
but if u let me choose, i prolly won't want to
you don't have to play TD3 but past a certain point, the heat you save is going into stuff that makes enemies harder to kill, so the time pressure is still there
but i never aim to beat Hades max 64 or 60
LMAO
tbh, i'm happy to beat a certain heat 38 set up
^there 
at least, i enjoy it that way
i tried TD2 on some weapons b4, and hate it
like, even picking 2 chest is already gonna screw up the time
and sometimes if u use melee
those medusa head fly in corner
sure, some weapons can do it
but definitely not all
btw, i wanna ask about this video
Unseeded. Was bored and wanted to return to some Hades Aspect! Rules aren't very concrete here but generally I followed: Sell boons ASAP, try not to use a core ability at all if slotted with a boon until sold, try to avoid hammers or making use of them, etc.
Lightning Reflexes and Jolted were forced on me in Tartarus, but they really didn't do ...
whats the strat for EM3? on fists?
how come he didn't get the boonless message?
Another message probably overrode it
i thought chaos boon shouldn't affect it
but when i youtube, seems like those people didn't get 100 free message
tends to have chaos boon
Chaos doesnāt affect it
wiki said u can
Really? Eh maybe. But Chaos isnāt Olympian
100% Olympian-Free doesn't have priority.
lol i was lucky, if i die 1 more time, Death defiler might've taken over
from my trial and error experience, same as the regular fight, except mind Asterius' shockwaves, and when he does the super spin, go hit Theseus. Follow closely behind him and mind the bombs. Don't get in front of him.
then i gotta redo it š¦
Tailesque was eligible for more than one run clear message, so the game picked one at random.
about Asterius, the worst part is prolly his jump slam also aoe around him
If you have Divine Dash and dash just before he hits the ground, you'll deflect the ground slam, which will also negate the damage from the shockwave.
ill give this a try
If you're doing EM3 on Malphon, definitely get Divine Dash until you have a lot more experience in the fight or unless you have very high DPS with, say, Lightning Strike + Splitting Bolt etc.
I tend to always go for Zeus on fists, I guess I didn't have enough juice this time....
I was doing em3, td2, and convenience fee 1
i see
Get Static Discharge asap for Zeus fists
Why is that relevant? Were you gonna suggest a strategy that takes 6 minutes or something 
I was also messing around with uh.... Demeter aspect?
Blows Talos out of the water tbh
Yeah
other fist aspects be kinda eh smh
I was legit doing 900+ crits on the special
Kinda feel like a dumdum for playing Talos all this time
Wouldnāt you already know that? I thought you beat fresh file?
How fast do you consider āvery high speedā?
their screen has lots of boons
dark foresight
and that was taken away lol
can they even get back to powerless mode O_o
Right but shouldnāt you be used to not having DF if you did First Win and a lot of runs on Hell Mode First Win?
56 RI0 is quite uncommon Iād guess. Most 56 heat runs use RI2 at least Iām pretty sure
I did RI2 for 50 heat
RI bad
zoom
i love and hate rare crop
sometimes it hits exactly the boons i need it to
and other times it hits my epic special and cast when i have a common attack and dash
Does exagryph hammer āexplosive fireā (area dmg + slows) stack with chill?
Maybe
Is there some puzzle to do with the 3 statues in the west hall?
the one with the old man, skull and the clock thing?
it's 7:48
i remember reading somewhere that if you interact with the old man enough times the narrator will react to it? never happened for me tho
Yeah, poking the statue illicits responses from the narrator (and some of the responses imply that ||the statue is the narrator||).
It's very meta.
Oh, hm
i just looked at my clears
only 1 with shield š„²
ironically the first time i ever won

someone actually has more sword than the shield!
i prolly could never do that š¦
fist too
which sword u like?
unironically zag sword
getting epic haste and flurry slash is just to must fun i've ever had
lol zag sword
also the one i seem to use a lot recently cause of fresh run hell š¦
bow's still the best, right?
what are some good attack and special boons for aphro cast beowulf run?
i want to get mirage shot so poseidon and arty right?
dio is good too for cast
Aphro cast is pretty good, athena cast also
Avoid zeus cast
Also avoid ares and demeter
lmao i just killed meg in like 8 seconds with 3 triple cast beo charges
Sounds about right
i thought ares on special might be not too bad for this?
man i wanna try beo so bad
though tbf i probably never click spec
Yea sorry
I meant ares and dem cast
You can go for doom special if you want
A bit slow tho
also i got demeter on spec since i didnt have any other choice, is it worth selling her boon to make space for something that would enable better duos
i know mirage shot is very good on beo, is there anything else noteworthy?
btw, demeter mirage shot, wouldn't u need the auto lock duo too?
isnt that only after applying 10stack though?
Ez 120 dmg
alright ill keep demeter in the pool to try for that one
also i find beo very good for bosses but hard to clear normal rooms with
cast harder
alright just 1 keepsake left to get
btw how many times do i have to gift meg to get her summon item
Until you give her ambrosia iirc
I gotta ask
does anyone use Stubborn Defiance
it feels like just walmart version of the 3 death defiance perk
We all use it at high heat
Because itās your only way to heal reliably when LC4 is on
Makes sense
You can manage LC4 with DDs but itās a lot more of a pain, and SD is actually really comfortable to use when youāre more familiar with your weapons/enemies
when will high heat start ask u to do LC4?
I do that on my 32 heat runs
first 32 heat run? or more like when you're used to heat 32?
it's right after my first 32 heat run
i started with lc4 and sd after the first 32 too
I was thinking to just play outside of my comfort zone by playing SD
just more comfy than to mess with other pacts
i see
what did you take lmao 
i dun remember mine, other than no TD and EM3
bouldy rolling
strong drink save my life
I got epic strong drink
and got all optional fountain
in every biome
so that's like... 25%?
prob more
wait
where's strong drink?
quite a bit lol
's thirst is everlasting
is ME really cheese if its a nightmare to get
i certainly dun see it a lot at fresh file hell even with just 4 gods...
is it even a nightmare to get?
It kinda is
consistently before lernie atleast
in fact, i stll think the duo boons are different appearance rate
just checked my first 32 lmao
HL3, JS3, em3, CP1, BP2, MM, UC, FO2, dc1 and TD2
eris moment
sighhh... when the day i need to 32 heat fist š¦
you can do zeus attack with DC2
and pivot for jolted and athena dash, a good special mb
shouldnt be too bad
i see,
I did a demeter fist on 31 heat run. And for some reason I used zag for 32
i might as well just do zag fist and get it done, planning to zag weapon all 32
huh, i used bouldy for the first 32 lol
just remember to pick up breaching cross
to make those BP enemies a lot easier
without its just kinda miserable
I considered it for a bit, but I came to a conclusion "just kill them faster"
either they die or I die
I didnt use him because I had LC4 on so no healing from that, the 1K dmg was too tedious for me and idk I guess I donāt care much about the gold
also
i probably didnt have meg or permission to use it against dad
i thought meg doll is considered the best, right?
no clue why not meg
calculated risk, the one that slows projectile
i was starting to like it a lot
works well with deflect
It was poseidon trial, I put the seal down.
THE WAVE DRIFTED
ON THE SEAL

Wish I recorded it
i think trial projectile, the love goddess one too, can't be deflected
Yea can't
they were gods' wrath after all
You can iframe into it
What is the hardest god's trial attack?
I kinda struggle alot on zeus one
I dislike Artemis' one since its randomised and the targeters move around, and my square brain can't process where they will actually deal damage
but idk for sure
poseidon in elysium is pain, i lost the projectile a lot more than i like to admit
demeter if you are using a melee weapon too
Athenaās can be bad in Elysium and/or with Tight Deadline
(atleast on SD, you need to die before claiming the dd)
hello yall any one else having difficulty against ||hades||
Against what
spoilers are ok?
Oh my brightness is Down I didn't see it lmao
no worries happens š
Spoilers are fine here
oh coool
I'm not having trouble tho
Anything specific you're struggling with? Or just in general
if you can kill them safely, do it asap
you can dash through the circles
try not to get hit twice like me
why not?
kill the hydra with different weapons
once you win against hades once, the game will tell you how to earn more
how do I check if i did it with a weapon?
There might be situations where you canāt safely kill the heads and thatās ok. As long as you keep an eye on the countdown above their heads and make sure to dash through the shockwave and not away from it (donāt attack during the dash though, or you will lose invincibility)
anything with the purple glow
Based
The bounties at the door will show you which ones you've earned at a particular heat level
(before you start a run, when you select pacts)
ohh allright idk know that you could do that
you need to beat daddy before you can do that
A big tip for Hades if your starting out and are having trouble with the boss is that all of his attacks (beside the beams) can be avoided by dashing at the right time. During the duration, you have full invincibility (unless you dash-strike. You will lose i-frames as soon as you attack during a dash). You can use this to dash through attacks like the spin or the stab.
i had no idea that the dash had i frames
Yeah itās amazing
It will also be worth your time to learn the optimal attack combos for each weapon, assuming you care about that kind of thing
Idk about all that lol. "Optimal" is a long way from "effective"
And one of those makes sense to learn when you're new
Yeah I get you
It's arguing semantics though lol, because, say, you're Nemesis, against a Greatshield. If you use both dashes to dash strike, you're likely going to get hit. So all of a sudden, your optimal combo is nonsense
The shield is a lot better when you know how to bull rush out of dash strikes and such
Yeah thatās true
fun builds suggestion?
Kinetic Launcher Demeter
Go for mirage shot and scintillating feast
i just did a beowulf
Pom that cast as much as possible
Charged Flight Beowulf
You can insta-phase Hades
Super Soaker Lucifer
also trippy shot stygian requires you to reroll chaos for the cast and i only have 1 reroll currently
Ooh Super Soaker is fun
Ah alright very fair
didnt get the lucifer dialogue yet sadly 
just did crystal meme achilles not too long ago
is hera bow different enough from beowulf?
Dire Misfortune Chiron
because id be down to try that
Dude Iām still in shock from my PB last night. I donāt even know what to do now, I got an insane PB that Iāll probably never beat, I did 40 24/24, I did 50 heat. What do I even do now?
sub 8 all weapons
Get 50 on the other aspects you like?

Iāve only gotten two sub 8s ever. So no thanks, Iām not Magnil 
chill a while and trash em4 dad?
Lol
Nah I think Iām done with 50 heat, one was enough
EM4 and chill arent some word you usually see together all the time
Fair
em4 dad alone isnt that bad
I do 12 heat (EM4 MM) runs for fun
...Wtf that pact lmao
Those are the fun ones to me lmao
Itās not like I care about the heat number
I just do pacts that make the game more fun for my stupid jank runs
You can do the other aspects Fresh File
Stygius is miserable though
i like playing with at least 15 heat, even if i never enter an elysium erebus w
It's a lot more fun on other aspects (modded obv)
Iām on switch 
oof
Yeah thatās fair. Iāve been considering adding FO1 to my casual pact
Or BP1 TD1
i need to play with fo2 again, played too much without it and muscle memory is gone
But if I have TD1 Iāll feel foolish because it could obviously be TD3 
Eh, different strokes for different folks. I don't bother with TD3 until past 50 lol
usually anyway
TD3 is kinda free in my experience, unless itās EM4
Without JS, CP, or EM4, TD3 is basically free for me tbh
I don't like runs ending with sack RNG, so my copium is dealing with JS3 CP2 TD2

I'm not gunning for any records anymore lol, so yeah that's tempting. Though I play mostly on the Switch nowadays
Iām just thinking about the 40something% chance that my 6:45 run got 3-sacked and became 7:25 
Thank god it didnāt
But it absolutely could have
is ME better for talos or demeter fists
Or longer, if you get like multiple rooms with elite armored rats
Yes
Demeter is always gonna be better than Talos tbh
unmodded is fun until you meet barge/asterius/tiny all in a row 
Well I had a 32 second Hades fight so as long as it wasnāt a 4+ sack, I would handle it pretty fast still
I can't beat fresh file hell mode š¦
It was a pretty busted build
Yeah ofc not, itās insanely hard
You can pretty easily tell speedrunners from challenge runners depending on their attitude towards Barge lmfao. Heat -> "Oh thank god, it's not Power Couple". Speed -> "Where's the lava?"
I die in styx all the time
I think I got Barge lmao
Also Power Couple isnāt that hard imo
Just Meg at the right time
I used to struggle with it tbf
It's highly variant because of Gorgon poofing
MM barge kinda comfy
And depends on aspect. It's really execution dependent for Rama for instance. If you mess up you could be in there for a minute instead of 10 seconds
That is true actually
I still screw up all the time on Rama lol. A lot can go wrong and it's always a teeny bit different
On my first ever 32 heat run, I didn't have DD on hades
I did no hit on him
Don't get hit 
thanks hypnos for those wonderful tips
I died
To hades
At 20 heat
Well, it was fun you all. It;s time to uninstall.
Farewell

lmfao I remember when I started my hell mode account, I was grinding through bounties, at flat 25 heat, and got crushed my first three Stygius attempts
dragon uninstall
You can also iframe the hazard bomb with Eris and still get the buff :3
There's also a small window where you can dash out of the radius and still get the buff as well
cluster hazard when
a boss wouldnt even have a chance to breath once
Its basically free win most of the time if you get that 600 damage bomb
I killed the hydra too quickly with it
Hazard is really good, yeah
Hazard Rocket 
anvil into hazard clockets 
Is there a way to activate the teleporter in the room with the working shades(sorry I still don't know the name lmao)
you wont be able to use it but if you progress nyx's and chaos' storyline its a part of that
Oh good to know
I think im close to finishing nyx's quest
Btw have you ever thought about the fact that chaos looks like james Charles? 
aint it more like 4-5k
Saw that in a comment under a hades video and I can't stop thinking about it
but yeah save some darkness
It's 3ksmth iirc
i sure love that one aspho room that hides all of the enemies in a corner and they refuse to move
You have to upgrade your rank right?
Rank?
no
Whu-
rank is just cosmetic
You mean in Hades' room?
Yes
That is just cosmetic
lol
yeah thats not related to any of the other storylines lmao
buying enough ranks will get you some dad dialogue i think but its a crazy amount of resources
4,5k*
that or 500k lol idk
last rank is 12k
12k is the last upgrade idk how much it is in total
total of all ranks 325k
325k
Exactly
do they actually end?
Yes
it seems like they cycle or something, I swear ive seen some sometimes before
Unseen one is the last one
The names Dont Change that much
The Resource Director in Lord Hades' bedchambers
The Resource Director is a shade assigned to award Zagreus an arbitrary rank through the transfer of resources collected throughout the Underworld escape attempts. The director becomes available soon after the player reaches the end credits. Only one rank may be advanced per escape attempt, ...
I like how they avoided putting a Beta rank lol
heh
There's a mod to allow you to Fresh File any aspect, a mod for a "new" aspect that was half finished in the code, that people refer to as BowBeam, if you like seeding runs without suicide there a mod for that as well
this trippy flare beo is going painful, im gambling on getting artemis legendary bc chaos decided to not show up 
Your very first run
o
starting a new file and winning your first run
Dying to meg
whats the point of that
way harder than iut sounds trust me
Its' a completely different style of run
You're locked to 4 gods, don't have call, mirror, etc.
cant y ou just make a new game file in game?
Only on base Stygius
o i see so all the weapons are unlocked?
The mod allows you to do it on the 23 other aspects
ahh i get it
How do you play lucifer
Triple Bomb and prayers
You press the fire button
:(
Anyways, re: mods, you can find out a lot more in either the speedrun discord or the modding discord
deflecting special is fun
You get flash fire and triple bomb and build for zeus/aphro so you can get smoldering air and ignore lucifer
or splashy lightning
That is making them go boom too?
I cannot find that mod on nexus
Can't do it on skelly do I need a hammer or a boon for that?
They won't be on nexus, likely. You'll have to ask people for links
dash that does damage
ya you need an upgraded dash of some sort tsukasa
The bowbeam one in particular is like, the teeny tiniest mod that I think @pulsar crater made or at the very least I got it from him.
Oh it's a daddy cast? (in a way)
Huh?
Daddy cast explodes/creates a Shockwave when you don't destroy it, luficer special does the opposite
Luficer? 
It's a half finished bow aspect left behind the code lol. Shoots laser beams for a primary fire and like... a cluster straight line mortar volley thing on special. Very fun and memey
skull thing?
The cast dad uses
To create shockwaves
It also gives you a debuff when you get hit
Extra daddy damage
Boiling blood?
got the 3rd hermes to hope for either rush delivery or bad news
got offered both 
Love to see it
took RD bc it was rare
What weapon?
Trippy beo
Oh I love trippy Beo
beowulf is trippin
Itās one of my favorite meme builds (yes I know itās also amazing for highrolling in speedruns)
I just figured out that the zag in Greek mythology was op he was basically a transformer with the ability to become any animal
Imagine that ingame
get insta phased dad lets gooo
also btw not to clog up the victory channel if i use dark foresight i wont get as much darkness to upgrade the rest of my mirror right @reef zodiac
Worth
I like how there is a mod that is straight up 100x damage
lol
Dark Foresight is so insanely good itās actually unbelievable
most of your darkness will come from killing bosses again tbh
Huh... Actually I'm not sure, how easy is it to actually get the RD bonus on Beo casts?
I would have taken Bad News personally
"becomes skelly and respawns 5 times during an em4 fight"
i just usually move on to the next heat when i beat the previous one so i dont get those since its blood and stuff first time
Here random question
Does rejected shades become the foes in Hades?
If you dash strike after released the dragon rush I assume that probably counts but not sure
yup that counts
ehhh, any god could do that
I just want to be EM3 Asterius
Oh didn't sound like that on Wikipedia good to know
imagine a mod that can turn you into any character ingame
But I'd also like to know W H Y imagine an assembly of the gods where they just try out new forms lmao
darkness rooms give pretty pitiful amounts. a lot of darkness can be earned by stacking chaos/poseidon darkness/gem boons then defeating bosses on low heat/doing darkness troves
Most of your darkness will come from bounties once you get the Contractor upgrade for that, and converting extra Ambrosia into 500 darkness at the Broker
Darkness rooms kinda suck
Darkness rooms are worthless
10 darkness 
noice
wait what contractor upgrade
Oh nvm I might be thinking of the contactor upgrade that gives you gems as well
the contractor upgrade gives you gems, not darkness
Oh mb
darkness is only for if you aren't doing your bounties
Or if you finish them
im quite far from finishing them lol
Also always catch Chaos fish if you need darkness
im only upto 3 heat
you can just do a 0 heat run
ive only seen fish in chaos 1 time
But yeah if you want to grind for Unseen One you're best off completing the Rail bounties then doing Eris speedruns with Poseidon start lol
Really? I see them all the time
It's like 1/10 or something so they actually are pretty rare
rng 
God mode shouldnāt really affect your speed
chaos fish are a myth
Thatās not that rare thatās like one every 5 runs. Thatās like 3 a day 
I like that if you try to zoomie through the Chaos room fast enough you can pick a boon, then a door, then hear the fish ding noise as you leave
I have all the Chaos fish. I am only missing the rare one one the surface.
Yeah I rarely actually bother to catch Chaos fish lol
well that is assuming you actually take chaos every time
and you might not even get chaos every run, let alone twice
when you go into the next chanber and see the fish as you leave 
there isn't that much of a requirement to take chaos when you aren't under tight deadline
or that one gold pot that is definitively gonna haunt you when you miss 10 gold for a boon
If you're on a crit build or whatever Chaos has a huge upside
Does merciful end work well with infinite lucifer beams?
nah?
Or cast build
Not... really? You're still capped on your Divine Dashes lol
But I just took the infinite beam idk what to do now-
uh
Build zeus
get that boom that increases stacked doom damage 
Yeah you want Dire Misfortune to complete the meme dream
Keep in mind that Triple Beam doesn't shotgun because Lucifer is awful
Wait why would someone not take chaos 19 out of 20 times?
Chaos is really good
memes mostly ig
But Chaos is so good for memes
It does damage, it isn't a boon or heart or whatever, if you don't have rerolls it can be incredibly risky
Eh
Asphodel Chaos rooms in particular are pretty likely to leave you facing lernie with -dash or -move speed, which is probably a death sentence
I pretty much always take Chaos except for some very specific situations (like Patroclus in a high heat run)
Your opinion is stilted by TD3 lol
Or Eris. Eris doesnāt need Chaos
Nah time is rarely an issue for me
I did em2 Learnie without my normal attack(lucifer)
Barely made it
Normal Lucifer attack sucks so not a huge thing
How do you use it properly then
š©āš« Learnie
I mean I take Chaos a lot but I'm not taking it over a good boon, or if it's on chamber 12/22/34
if there wasn't any TD then there would definitely be situations where I would take a high priority god over chaos
I can't use the explosions cuz I'm always missing the special
You hope for triple bomb, build zeus, hope for flash fire etc
Oh bruh
Nvm, 12 chaos is free. 22 and 34 are liabilities lol
2 12 chaos 
what are some good pact options except for deadline, traps
decided to test hunter flare and god, the pom scaling is painful
lvl 7 rare boon and is only 160 dmg
Ive been using jury summons and hard labor for my heat
(Im in early game so its for bounties)
Jury Summons 
Middle Management and the first rank of Benefits Package make the game more fun without being... overwhelmingly more difficult
Same with EM2
Middle Management, EM1&2, Underworld Customs, Benefits Package
Was it a bad idea š
Oooh package 
alone is not thatttt bad
once you start combining with other pacts is just pure pain
It's one of the harder pacts, for sure, but it's not insanely noticeable until you start stacking FO2, BP2 that kind of thing
I donāt do JS until 37 heat
EM?? I thought the EMs made the game significantly harder
Eh
EM3 and 4 are extremely difficult yes
Mainly just EM4
But 1 and 2 are whatever
Oh
EM3 isnāt that bad tbh, just requires practice
EM3 is actually more or less okay until you turn on FO2
That's usually one of the biggest early walls for heat pushers
fo2 is scary in general
I did HL3 FO2 EM3 for my first 32 heat runs 
Like a fool
And kept dying to Champions and acting like there was nothing I could do about that
Yeah EM3 FO2 is incredibly frustrating for a lot of people
asterius bullrushes 
Also depends on aspect. Hestia, Chiron, shields can kinda yoloswag it
also theseus smacking into you with his chariot while youre tryna avoid asterius 
Theseus simps for acorn charges
yep...
It's pretty hard to deterministically avoid, which is why I tend to use Acorn charges aggressively to get free DPS time on Bull-sempai when he's charging
theseus on chariot is more annoying to me than non em3 cuz he always steals those acorn charges
I die... an embarassing amount of time to losing patience on solo chariot-less Theseus
Champions are free on Beowulf tbh
Elysium Heroes are my least favourite part of runs tbh
Asterius can pull janky moves sometimes, leaping half the distance or swinging with no animation
I like the heroes fight. It's chaotic but manageable
I love the champions fight, especially EM3. Probably my second or third favorite fight in the game
Theseus is just annoying with his shield, and some of the god-assistances are bs
especially Demeter
thats why you always insta kill him 
Aphro call is rad, yes
I canāt decide if I find normal Hades or EM4 more fun. If itās a casual low heat run I always do EM4 because normal Hades is too easy and is over too quickly. But for high heat runs EM4 is the bane of my existence because he just kills me out of nowhere for no reason
fo2 hl5 em4 dad with sd is fun 
I lost five 50 heat runs to that fight in one day
On Beowulf 
Although tbf it was charged shot Beowulf
aka best Beo
Yeah Hunter flare is really bad
Same with icy and phalanx flare
Thunder and slicing are also bad but in a different way
thunder at least is fun (kinda)
Eh
It just feels bad to play tbh
No big AOE, just little low damage bolts
Can blade rifts crit?
Or crystal beams?
idkw hat that is
Beowulf
i thought you were talking about the cast
Is there still a channel to report typos(saw one on this discord)
Nah I donāt think so
The cast, yes. For Beowulf
Hunter flare
The German version has a couple of typos but I never thought about reporting them
Youāre thinking of True Shot
yes to both
only things that dont crit are maim/explosive return/shared suffering
Yeah doesnāt work like that
And shared suffering still benefits from crits so it wouldnāt even make sense if it could crit
just play arthur sword 
I was gonna say that
random but has anyone else playing beo has gotten a bug were you cant interact? (like picking door rewards/go to next chamber) until you pick up your cast again
Help my keepsake is broken
How
Used Athenas keepsake in asphodel and didn't get her
Is there still a 1 under it?
Did you take any boon doors?
I was just complaining about the rng
Yes iirc
i swear is always aspho the one that manages to make you skip your keepsake god
Btw i also got 3 or 4 hearts in a row in tartarus( I already have 240hp lol)
Ok then itās bugged. Because Iām pretty sure itās possible to take a god keepsake and then just not get any boon doors, but your first boon door (beside Hermes) should be that god
I guess I just have to accept it
Did you just take multiple Chaos doors?
1
Yeah idk
If you took an Olympian boon door that wasnāt Hermes, then itās a bug. If not, then itās just bad luck
hunter flare run finished "not bad, you just need to get every boon to make it work" 
im never running this one again ww
Yeah itās bad and uninteresting
Accidentally skipped a chest and chaos for Obolus
Whatās a āchestā?
The infernal chests
The Troves
Ig thats the English name
Those are almost always useless anyway 
People don't check them enough
If you have spare time, it's like a hundred gold sometimes
The time challenges/your main darkness source while doing your bounties
Iāll occasionally take it if itās gold
Or if you're on casual/practice runs, it could be a ton of darkness too
I guess
Also galaxy brain strats where you use troves to refresh your SD before leaving for the next room lol (didn't know you could leave the room during a Trove encounter)
Until fairly recently lol
Yeah I do that sometimes
Itās good to have a trove or an egg in Elysium so I donāt have to worry about my SD
Lol, EM4 runs be like, "Do I take Epic Sure Footing in Asphodel because of urns, or not because I'd like to be able to actually get DDs in Elysium"
Pfft 10 seconds is not a big deal
Assuming you have HS
Without HS, then yeah itās just not gonna happen 
Thatās like 2 damage per trap
Any build that wants lightning phalanx doesnāt need lightning phalanx
Got 4 chances in a row
Didn't get it and I have the choice between zeus' legendary, his call and big bolts
Zeus legendary best legendary
It's not particularly close lol
Yeah
But i want the duo for the prophecy
Artemis would be if it were actually possible to get
Yeah
ooo i got some crazy lightning going on
But I would personally put Unhealthy Fixation second because it's easy to get and does enough, depending on build
is possible, just dont make a cast build lmao
Yeah that's true, then it's guaranteed
Nah I donāt like that boon at all
It often will mess me up much more than help
Yeah I could see that, I don't think I've run into that issue personally though.
Shrug, they're all pretty meh. Artemis definitely second by power level
Hey y'all š I'm new here. I've put about 50ish hours into the game and am enjoying it immensely. I do have a question that I hope the community can help with.
In the Armaments room are those 3 spots to the west of the exit door meant for anything in particular?
huge catch best legendary
I mean it does almost nothing in normal rooms and is an active hinderance in bossfights
I guess Bad News
I like it a lot in boss fights. Resets their current animations.
Yes, you'll find out what they do if you just keep adding heat and playing the game normally :3
And Asterius will just keep spinning for the entire fight if you charm him each time, so you literally have to stop attacking him
Charm is kinda terrible in this game imo
Idk why you don't like lucifers attack
Even smoldering aphro call is kinda meh
I really haven't run into your issues with it lol, though I know that each of them is technically possible
The only reason aphro call is meh is because other calls exist
Hades does spins with no windup all the time with UH
It's actually pretty good
I donāt agree
My dps is so high That I almost killed theseus by accident while asterius was still alive
It appears we're at an impasse then :3
Is it possible to elaborate further? I don't mind spoilers and I would like to know what I should be aiming for.
8, 16, 32 heat
They're basically in game achievements
Ahh. Alright then. Thank you guys! Much appreciated!
ive never gotten athena legendary
Oh I forgot about Divine Protection
am i right in thinking its basically a one use acorn on a 20 second cooldown?
That boon is quite good, but it falls off at high heat
sounds pretty strong vs hades
Wuh, lol, hard disagree, it's insane at high heat
Even if you use it exactly once each room, you're getting free acorn charges
And Acorn is already the best defensive keepsake
It's free. I'd take DDs over Divine Protection but basically nothing else
I forgot it existed lol, yeah I think so, by a lot
I forgot too 
Hermes good for casters but it's impossible to get without Plume lmao
Itās not that hard with Godās Legacy and Styx Hermes
I mean 11% chance is still quite low actually
Yeah, but e.g. you're not going to roll off of Greatest Reflexes or Hyper Sprint at high heat even with a cast build, so your odds of getting the pre-req are lower than normal
But without Godās Legacy youāre just not gonna get it
Well without yarn or nectar
Those make it possible
I still don't think I have Dio's on my hell mode save lol... Requiring Trippy Shot is so brutal
Yeah but itās 60% global damage
Itās good for specifically trippy shot builds that randomly have a hangover source
Provided they stay within the Trippy Shot :\ It's a good legendary, but yeah not many builds would actually like to sacrifice Boiling Blood for it
Is the satisfaction of having given your friends and family your companionship and support not enough?
(I don't actually know, I'm like 900 hours in my Steam save and I still don't have all the achievements)
This is out of lack of effort, not difficulty lol. SGG pretty generous
The first three fish in the codex are from Chaos right?
free fish?
:3. I don't remember. If you have empty spots it's likely Chaos, or ||Greece||
||Nah I have the ones in greece ||
Except for the rare one
Should i sell the legendary of Zeus for the achievement ? I'm somewhat sure That I can beat daddy without it
why not 
checked and yeah, chaos fish are the first 3
Thanks
Because it's fun to use it?
Decided to not sell it and got one of hermes legendary boons:3 I can sell that one now
Supergiant needs to step up and make a dating game
I also loved the Massive demon woman in pyre
I'll buy pyre now
Idek the game I just saw a channel with that Name im assuming that's another supergiant game?
The colors of names here also typically correspond to which of the SGG games you've played
Yellow is all of them
She is the besssst
pyre gameplay kind of eh though
not bad but is not very intersting other then the important bits
wizard basketball is fun, and the story is top tier
Narrative heavy magical basketball was such a bold choice though. I commend them for trying.
But yeah it's my least favorite by a lot. The story is great but the gameplay was less gripping than I expected
Music is amazing too obviously
worst super giant game is stil like a 7/10 to me lmao
I can never decide between whether I think transistor or pyre are the worst
since the story in transistor takes a weird back seat even though it is very intersting
Lol yeah not even coming close to saying Pyre is bad.
I think Transistor's main problem for me is that it didn't really leave me... caring about any of the side characters
Yeah it had so much potential but it did like nothing with it
other then the music being imo the best theyve ever made
"Best" is a weird concept when you're comparing like 9.8/10, 10/10, 9.9/10, and 9.7 lol
All 4 soundtracks are kind of like... perfect honestly
Did anyone record a true meme beam run with infinite lucifer X op meme beam?
meme beam usually refers to Crystal Beam. lucifer meme beam usually called Super Soaker lol
unless you're referring to a different meme. Lucy not lacking for memes
Arctic Blast, Dire Misfortune, Hangover...
(lol, low key, crit attack is also kind of a meme on Lucifer, hot take)
I was playing that tho-
Basically full Zeus with some artemis the rest wasn't that important iirc
that's probably the least memey possible build on Lucy :3
Good to know
But the infinite beam really was a meme
Didn't have the meme beam tho was using the athena cast
I mean, you're not wrong. Eternal Chamber is definitely a meme hammer. It's nice to turn your brain off and BZZZZT but as long as Eternal Chamber is running you don't have iframes on dashes and you still have to deal with Lucifer's ungodly long startup animation (I like Flash Fire a lot more because of this)
Oh so that's why dashing in attacks was a bad idea lol
Imagine needing iframes anyway
Almost died to dad due to that and I also forgot to use Meg lol
Lol, Lucy needs all the help it can get. Can't do anything about projectiles on that aspect. Even if you get divine strike, the deflect box is literally just on the gun, not the laser
(not that you'd want divine strike anyway lol, but it's still funny)
Lucifer is good for memeing
Triple Bomb is legitimately good
And... that's about all the nice things I have to say
how well would lucy with aphro attack + her legendary
