yeah

just check out the build you see in the vid
low egret
alr cool
gray apex
You can go for flood flare and Artemis attack then Mirage
twin thistle
well usually you use flood flare
brisk trail
for casts you can also do poseidon cast or aphro cast instead
twin thistle
its more consistent
low egret
i am not understanding
brisk trail
basicially: the speedrun goes for dio cast since its a seeded run, normally other casts are more consistent
gray apex
Oh is it seeded?
brisk trail
I assumed thats the seeded record
gray apex
Isn’t seeded record like sub 3

I'm confused by the UI for the Max Aspect of Chiron
"Max Shots per special: 9 -> 8"
9 is greyed out, and 8 is red. I don't know why the 9 is even there if the max coming out is 8?
I've got a tiny screenshot here of it, but I can't post it

you need to have a Chaos boon first
so it will only show up on your 2nd chaos visit during a run

pretty rare tbh but egg increases chance
vapid narwhal
to clarify, that is from the egg's intrinsic effect of increasing chaos boon quality
not that it specifically applies to the legendary

buy every chaos gate from shop

the mirror buff doesn’t affect chaos boon right

What's heroic RD? 125%?
Yep
Hyper sprint and two ignited ichors and a speed buff for the same result, which I think is genuinely easier to do than epic RD
lone kernel
It's calculated differently
elaborate please, and be as detailed as you have the time for
(because i suck at percent math)
like why is 125 from RD and 100% speed from sprint different than 125% speed and 100% RD
twin thistle
aint different movement sped buffs supposed to be multiplicative or something
also aint ichors 20%
high island
They're multiplicative, yes, but Hyper Sprint is funky.
lone kernel
So is my math wrong on 125 p bonus speed on 100 p rush delivery being equal to heroic 125 RD with just sprint
high island
2 * 2.25 = 2.25 * 2. But Hyper Sprint isn't multiplicative with other movement speed anyway.
But yes, Heroic RD with +100% movement speed would give the same bonus damage as Epic RD with +125% movement speed.
lone kernel
thats what i thought
lone kernel
2 * 2.25 = 2.25 * 2. But Hyper Sprint isn't multiplicative with other movement s...
Does that mean hyper sprint with ichor would be 110% speed, while epic greater haste at 40p and ichor would be 44 not 50?
or is ichor 20p I don’t remember
high island
Epic Greater Haste and 1 Ignited Ichor is +68% movement speed. 1.4 * 1.2 = 1.68.
And I don't know about Hyper Sprint, I just know it doesn't interact like other movement speed. Could be it just sets your movement speed to +100% during the sprint and ignores other bonuses or something like that, no idea.

non beo shields a lot more fun with explosive return

Chaos is even good honestly
It's one of those aspects that is good with Bad Influence
high island
It's good because it's Aegis, but it's not particularly strong.
DPS is very underwhelming.
twin thistle
you get better damage just doing normal specials with either dashing or explosive flight
calm zenith
It has its dps gimmick
Yeah. You can do other things with it
And you can go Dio and Bad Influence for more suitable damage
twin thistle
the bullrush into special is like good in tart cuz lots of enemies like numbskulls but elsewhere there's not much of a point
calm zenith
Or just use it as a shield
I've seen it do good things elsewhere
Like Dio special Artemis attack
It's the shield that's good at mass curse application
That isnt always necessarily valuable but it can be/can be worked around
Killing Freeze could work with it for example
twin thistle
feels like zeus special works best with it but doesnt really need the extra shields either
high island
And you can go Dio and Bad Influence for more suitable damage
I'd get better DPS just taking Charged Shot and ignoring the Special.

Lernie is a "she"
I just read the Bone Hydra Cthonic Conversation and saw a lot of people using he/him pronouns for Lernie. I think most people are just unaware(I was until very recently) but the myths list Lernie as a female. It isn't a big change but using correct pronouns (whether for real people or mythical/fictional characters) is the respectful thing to do.
Have a fun fact from Reddit
(That’s cut and pasted, not my own discovery)

i dont think the game ever actually gives the hydra a gender anyway
as far as i can remember its usually referred to in a manner that rarely uses pronouns

I did not! Do you know if the plate is safe to walk on until the spear is remove...
not sure! it activates the spike trap though!
also, just beat my 10th escape and my max chamber reached is 77?! i thought 69-72 was top
mint coral
styx can vary a bit beetween how many tunnels it takes to take the sack
also any chaos/erebus extension you might take
runic parrot
you could've picked chaos before the penultimate shop, which increases the chamber count by one
reef pollen
interesting! don’t think i’ll ever top that again, but 77 is an aesthetic number
wraith flume
Can't decide which one lol
I don't value gemstones very highly, but that's all I have left?
gray apex
I would go for the second one probably
wraith flume
oh I just looked it up
vanquisher's Keep gives barely any
The second helps with more better runs
so I guess it's the best choice
reef zodiac
It’s barely any but it really adds up
Actually, for Hades I think it’s like 200 which isn’t too bad
reef zodiac
I’m only saying the vanq keep at least doubles the gemstones you’re getting

Postgame content after your first clear. Difficulty modifiers

General tip for dad fight is try to not attack too much when you are dashing if hades is also attacking
During dashes you get i frames, and when you attack you lose those i frames and are vulnerable
lone kernel
Also dash perpendicular to his skull shot, not towards or back
gray apex
Also dash perpendicular to his skull shot, not towards or back
wdym thats the best strat
I consistently get hit for 50 when I do it
its pretty good
calm zenith
Yeah. Dad is either very clearly an exposed and open target, or is doing dangerous aoe spins and stuff
So dont be greedy during attacks
He has lots of time where he just does almost nothing or is easily countered. Like the frontal lasers
Just stay behind him
He wont find you easily. Good blindspot.
Easily get a bunch of dps out then there.
lone kernel
I consistently get hit for 50 when I do it
You gotta get some macros or something then boyo
calm zenith
@lapis shore there is no best weapon. The most consistent weapon could be Beowulf shield but idk
High dps potential and it's even stronger at shielding than the other shields
lone kernel
Should I be gunning for a certain one with upgrades?
Which one do you feel most comfortable with? If your Chiron bow has 5 arrows try Dionysus special on it
brisk trail
zagreus is fine to invest in for both at first
otherwise fists want demeter and bow, honestly whichever you like the most
lapis shore
Chiron is pretty cool for bow
I have it unlocked and used it one run
Got to 2nd phase of dad with it and the gloves
I also am a big fan of the acorn keepsake
brisk trail
acorn is good yes
if you didnt beat the game yet you prob dont have much blood to spend anyway
so just focus on clearing with cheap upgrades I'd say
the mirror is more important for your first clear than your weapon
lapis shore
Yea ive got 2 death defiance, and like 3 extra blood to spend since I'm trying to clear Tarturus with every weapon
I had a really gimmicky run with dionysus dash but it took a while for crap to die lol
lapis shore
Yea I figured the poseidon one was better
lone kernel
Poseidon dash super based
It isn’t the best v dad, but it makes styx a formality
and Tartarus too
Pom it ASAP
RNjesus assuming u met prerequisites
lapis shore
Use the artemis keepsake!!
last veldt
Got to heroes on a fresh file run (no ME, but a +4 Ares attack). Don't think I'm getting any further though. Still, good attempt.
mint coral
nice

Nice indeed
I tried Rama Fresh File the other day and died to Hades phase 1
It’s fun and painful at the same time
last veldt
Got lucky on an early rare Ares attack boon and a bunch of hearts.
Was praying for ME.
Does impending doom prevent ME btw?
I took it for extra damage, but of course I might have screwed myself over.
gray apex
It does not
Idk how good of a pick it is when you don’t have ME yet
In a lot of runs you see people take Dire Misfortune first
The slower proc is probably a dps decrease on certain weapons before ME

Poseidon once said to zagrues
"What do you say nephew ready to get wet,or no?.
And yes
The aura
twin thistle
nope
halcyon girder
Weird
twin thistle
it does what it says it does
halcyon girder
Because when I'm not in the circle thing it does 57 damage when I'm the circle thing it does 67 or 125 sometimes I think
Probably just rng
twin thistle
well different parts of your combo do different damage
halcyon girder
Oh yeah it doesnt the Excalibur is just op when it's boon is Aphrodite
Or just any boon ig
halcyon girder
Okay something weird happen my boon leveled up when I drank the fountain
Is that normal?

odd, do u have pom blossom maybe?

You can hold the screenshot button to record the last 30 seconds

But it was too fast
And I was confused trying to process what just happened
I remember my boons were only level 2 and then out of no where when I drank the fountain the break room one my Dio boon just level up to level 3
lone kernel
Strong drink?
That’s what it does, it gets stronger every fountain perhaps? Did the fountain heal you all the way
halcyon girder
It's just probably a glitch
Or something
I did had the pom of power but I didn't level up drunken flourish I use it on Demeter cast
twin thistle
so it was a pom room
halcyon girder
No it wasn't
twin thistle
what was the reward
halcyon girder
Health the fountain
twin thistle
so centaur heart?
halcyon girder
I don't know either that a pom of power just there and I just didn't see it or
An idiot that just caused the game glitched
twin thistle
like break room as in mid region fountain or after boss fountain?
halcyon girder
Mid region I think
twin thistle
like what was the reward in there
halcyon girder
It was probably a pom of power there and I was just didn't notice it
twin thistle
well a pom would still have you choose which boon to upgrade
halcyon girder
The thing confuse me is I picked up the item I forgot what it was then I drank the fountain and my boon just level up
twin thistle
do you have the upgrade that makes nectars rank up a random boon?
halcyon girder
Nah
halcyon girder
Okay it happen again
This time I picked up a nectar
I think that's what causing it I guess
fallow mountain
So do I need to go in order for the secret aspects to unlock or can I do any weapon aspect?

I think that's what causing it I guess
There’s an upgrade that gives a pom slice when you get nectar

I don't remember buying it

I'll check when I'm done with this run

That’s my theory but idk

Vintage Nectar. You definitely have that.

Can technically get 5 naturally by a 4th god in shop-5th god in miniboss right afterwards

More than that if you still only have boons from 3 gods by the Temple of Styx.

guys why is my health 50% after death defiance?
can i upgrade it to 100%?
Also i was wondering which gods have the best boob other than god of wisdom
Poseidon ?
My keepsakes disappeared for some reason do i need to gift them booze again?
And I can get as many boons right or is it just 5 or something? I saw once where it said it will replace something
"Certain boons have other boons as requirements. If you don't fulfill them, you will never get them offered." like what?
Athena boons i thought would level up after 25 encounter but they are gone(keepsake)
mint coral
death defiance always recover 50% of your health can be upgraded with one of the 2 athena boons (either deathless/last stan i dont remember) to recover an extra bit more, using the counterpart of stubborn defiance has items that makes it recover 10% x item (starts at 30%)

if you dont have X boon, Y boon will never be offered (example: if you dont have a boon that does lightning bolts from zeus (attack/cast) the boon storm lightning wont appear)

i only want dash defiance from Athena xD
but i hardly get it
also what is Infernal Arm?
I have upgraded my shield once
mint coral
And I can get as many boons right or is it just 5 or something? I saw once where...
you can get as many boons as you can get, the 5 is the ones that show up in the 5 slots to the left (attack/special/cast/dash and call) once you fill those if you want to swap them a god may offer at exchnage for their boon (so if you have athena attack other god may want to replace it with their attack at upgraded rarity)
mint coral
also what is Infernal Arm?
the weapons you use

also no clue about the keepsakes, have you checked the place where they are stored to be sure? or see if you have one equipped rn (bottom of where your core boons are shown)

What Is the Hades monthly Challenge just asking
We used to get a monthly challenge, you can find old ones pinned in #h1-builds-and-combat, we havent had one for October but they should be coming back soon I think
calm zenith
Final boss has lots of openings
Sometimes even for several seconds at a time
With a melee weapon the strategy is to wait for this while kinda hugging him, but watch out because he has an anti-hug mechanic
Spear spin
It's tough to get down with melee for this reason imo. You can dash through the spear spin though. Isnt too hard with 2 dashes
If your screen appears cracked throw this all out and just avoid damage until it stops
This means you will take double damage from him
high island

There’s a high heat channel with some great resources. First one: be practiced enough, know how to deal with some of the pacts on their own. If you’re asking that question I can infer you’re newer at the game - diving right into 32 heat is just gonna frustrate you

I'm on heat 7 and died twice in world 3
I was able to clear but was still dying which was frustrating
feral belfry
the guys you have to kill twice
twin thistle
why exactly?
feral belfry
slow shield I think
gray apex
Your bullrush should help you block almost everything
feral belfry
charge *
gray apex
Try to initiate your Bullrush after a Dash-strike instead of a standing attack because it’s faster, don’t load all your casts all the time, you can load them midrush
feral belfry
maybe i';m not used to it's slower speed
gray apex
You should be charging towards reasonably close enemies too
twin thistle
yeah like are you just standing and initiating a bullrush like that
feral belfry
oh dash strike then bull rush?
twin thistle
because thatll get you killed
gray apex
Yes
feral belfry
I'm not trying to stand still often
I've been kind of doing the opposite
bull rush, then dash strike away from danger
but maybe reverse
twin thistle
also your positioning matters are you keeping at the edges and bullrushing from there instead of in the middle
feral belfry
I try not to rush with anyone at my back
lone kernel
@feral belfry I remapped my cast button to a back bumper button and then it became good cause I could charge bull rush and load as needed. If you are on controller, back buttons or using L1 as your cast will go a long way
Cannot confirm or deny I bought a new controller for beowulf
lone kernel
And get snow burst
gray apex
Yea go for Passion Flare for dmg reduction and pray for Athena or Demeter naturally and force the other into Aspho
But Beo doesn’t really need Snow Burst anyway
twin thistle
with beo you should pretty much be chaining bullrushes. dash into a bullrush, dash strike out and dashstrike into another bullrush and keep grabbing your casts on the way
feral belfry
passion flare is aphro?
gray apex
Just a nicely pommed Passion Flare with a divine dash is just enough and some decent attack boon
Yes
twin thistle
or just oneshot everything with flood flare
feral belfry
I
gray apex
Yea that also works
feral belfry
I've done that cast
I can try aphro, none have super clicked yet but probably jsut general mechanics need to improve
twin thistle
would help if you like record a vid next time you use beo

For Flood Flare you want Mirage shot really badly
For Trippy you want Stygian and another Chaos cast ideally
Passion Flare is just good on its own
Anything else you get is just a bonus
Not a requirement

You get extra dmg whenever you have the mvt speed bonus
So yea after you dash because hyper sprint
Or atleast your dash is probably gonna be the biggest source of mvt speed bonus you have
Therefore you’ll get the most out of RD there
calm zenith
Dash strike dont combo
reef zodiac
So yea after you dash because hyper sprint
Also during your dash
Hyper Sprint technically increases your speed from the moment you dash until 0.5 (or more depending on rarity) seconds after your dash ends
