Actually the wiki helped me a lot during a few runs. Having to figure out how to get the favors for some npcs and stuff

high island
#

340ms for a perfect catch.

flint spade
#

Wow

tribal sleet
#

the World jf adhd wasnt so Bothersome

autumn ether
#

So far I've still been enjoying not looking anything up. But I know there'll come a time

high island
#

There can only be three fake bobs, so the fourth bob is always real if the first three were fake. And from what I can tell, fake bobs have an interval of 2-5 seconds while the real bob has an interval of 1-2 seconds. So if it takes more than 2 seconds, it should be a fake bob. Meaning you should look for the real bob within a short time after you start fishing or within a short time after a previous fake bob.

#

Your hash icons aren't default for either IGT or RTA, hence my question. dusa

autumn ether
#

Time to wear the Poseidon keepsake and buy those lures when I see em

flint spade
#

Wish I was that fast 😅

#

Bugs me a lot when my catch it's just rare

gray apex
#

I think they might be default for rta

feral belfry
#

Even if you're fast I think it's still 50/50 if it'll be rare or not

flint spade
#

Yeah :/

lone kernel
#

but its via that one modpack

#

i can send u screenshots if u want, but i'm not really sure what your question is

#

beyond "whatever mods lando picked that run"

high island
#

Eh, don't worry about it.

#

This'll be good enough, I guess.

lone kernel
#

You can pick default rulesets on it tho

#

It was a real pain to install, the guys on modding discord helped a lot. Lmk if anything else u need, happy speedrunning

high island
#

No, I know how the mod works. Don't worry about it. dusa

lone kernel
#

You got it. Happy hunting

#

Some js3 40 heats so you don’t need to go customs stonks

livid nymph
#

Fought Hades for the first time he hits like a truck

merry bane
autumn ether
lone kernel
#

it was like...damn, that's dedication to not feeding one's self to 🐊

high island
#

Oh, I was just doing EM4 runs.

lone kernel
#

Word. Try Aphrodite’s aid I hear it can be helpful

livid nymph
#

So how do I deal with hades now that I fought him? I was doing well and brought his life pretty low until I dead to one of those enemies who send a shockwave when killed

lone kernel
#

so next time you’re better prepared to win

twin thistle
#

well you want to destroy those skulls before they explode for one

lone kernel
#

Also that

brisk trail
#

if the timer on their head expires and theyre alive

strong ridge
#

i don’t understand the speedrun board

versed mason
#

what about it is confusin ya?

strong ridge
#

is it like

#

the people at the bottom had the fastest time in the past

#

or it’s just like a leaderboard

twin thistle

leaderboard

strong ridge
#

thank

wispy hull
#

Hey how do I get the locked heart for meg?

strong ridge
#

||i think it has something to do with her sisters|| but you could try the wiki

wispy hull
#

Alright ty

#

I looked it up and got the answer @strong ridge , tysm!

strong ridge
#

np

frail wedge
#

Bro one of my friends got to the Elysium on his third run with Cursed Slash Zag Sword bouldy

strong ridge
#

tbh cursed is probably more worthwhile in abscence of thick skin

#

so

#

nice

brisk trail
#

cursed needs thick even more

#

with healing u need some max hp so u dont get one shot and have time to heal it all back

livid nymph
#

Why is there a locked heart for Hermes?

brisk trail
#

need to do his favor to finish it

versed moon
#

what weapon should i use / upgrade to get my first clear

brisk trail
#

whichever is most fun for u

versed moon
#

i think its between the shield and the gloves

brisk trail
#

shield is considered pretty noob friendly because of the block so that works

autumn ether
#

The shield has been the most reliable one for me. Not the fastest, but all I need is that Daedalus upgrade that turns bullrush into a piercing shot and the rest is 🍰

last veldt
#

That is very safe as a build.

versed moon
#

i have 3 titane blood

#

where did i get those

brisk trail
#

beating first boss on different weapons

last veldt
#

Furries at a guess

brisk trail
#

thats 1 too many r’s zaglol

last veldt
#

Ha

#

You don't know what they do at the weekend

versed moon
#

wait so there are different aspects to each weapon and each aspect has different levels

last veldt
#

Yup

brisk trail
#

yea, try to buy aspect which are decent at low level

versed moon
#

which one do u recommend for shield

brisk trail
#

aspect of zues is a good one

#

its good at low level if u get something like zues or dionysus special on it

versed moon
#

ight ill unlock it now

#

my shield looking drippy now

brisk trail
#

try to get a win with that cuz until u start winning u dont get much blood

versed moon
#

ill try to get to those two guys again

#

btw its been 7 months since i last played and i came back today

autumn ether
#

Welcome back

versed moon
#

i got electric shot from the start i like that one

versed moon
lone kernel
#

if im running zeus call and have aphro attack and smair, and i get a zeus boon that offers double strike and jolted, which do i take

signal aspen
#

idk take the one with higher rarity

mint coral
#

I say d.strike cause even with smair you arent applying jolted that fast

brisk trail
#

i second d strike cuz u wanna open splitting bolt

feral belfry
#

I would avoid hard labor for a while, extra damage is one of the harder boons. Start with feeling comfortable with tight deadlines

polar quail
#

Alright

#

So what’s with middle management

feral belfry
#

The pact that makes mini bosses have extra moves is basically free because there are few mini bosses and they're generally easy, especially with megs companion

polar quail
#

Ok I’ll try that at the next heat level

feral belfry
#

If the first boss fight becomes very easy to you and you never die, then do Extreme Measures 1

#

It makes the first boss harder, but then you're free for the rest of the run

#

Hard labor makes the bosses hit very hard

#

You basically want to put it on once you get hit rarely

#

That should be good for your first 5 heat or so ! GL

brave aspen
#

Idk where to ask this, but are there any news about Zagreus figurine?

flint spade
#

Umm, figurine? Like his clothes?

brave aspen
#

No wait

#

Like merchendise

#

Figure

flint spade
#

OH, ok. Okaaay, sorry

#

Bad English here hahah

crystal marten
#

is Extreme Measures the only modifier with story stuff?

flint spade
brave aspen
#

I will be thankfull, cause all i have seen was news from may 2021 and nothing more.

flint spade
#

If I'm not mistaken, there's another prophecy besides the Sea Gods Spite

crystal marten
#

I mean Pact of Punishment

flint spade
#

Oh, right. Then I guess is the only one

mint ember
#

I kinda like guan yu just for the special

#

Its very strong

spice aspen
#

If I play on 1 heat does it also unlock the 0 heat bounties?

hearty mural
#

No, you get the bounties of 0 heat and then can do another 1 heat run for the 1 heat bounties

last veldt
#

Oddly no

#

But also you can have zero heat unfinished on a weapon and a non zero heat run unfinished.

#

So zero heat is slightly special but not in a way that matters much

mint coral
#

Yeah 0 heat bounties can be skipped

last veldt
#

@polar quail if you want to do a non default sword aspect run, I recommend Poseidon aspect with a big crush shot cast

brisk trail
#

poseiden is kinda like a worse achillies

last veldt
#

Yeah but they said they wanted a sword run

#

The only sword I go with normally is Arthur

feral belfry
#

Poseidon is great if you hate the sword dusa

last veldt
#

But I doubt they have it yet

feral belfry
#

Like me

polar quail
#

Yeah I don’t think I have any sword aspects

#

Plus I only have 1 titans blood

livid nymph
#

So when you beat hades and reach Greece for the first time do the gods really not know when it happened? I beat hades and I’m barely getting any mention of it when I get a boon

last veldt
#

Then pick your favourite other weapon and go a farming

polar quail
#

Sounds good, I’ll do another eris rail run

last veldt
#

There are some prophecies which drop a bunch of Titan blood too

#

Might be worth clearing one of those if you're close

polar quail
#

There’s the one for clearing with all infernal arms

last veldt
#

Reaching the surface only

polar quail
#

Oh really?

last veldt
#

You don't need to win I think

#

One of them is about getting to the surface only

polar quail
#

I don’t think I’m close with the others but I’ll check after this run

last veldt
#

If it says "escape the realm" then you only have to get to Dad

tribal sleet
#

yeah , like the hidden aspects

#

once u reach the surface the prophecy is fufilled

polar quail
#

Yup it said reach surface

last veldt
#

I don't remember the exact conditions for the one with all weapons

polar quail
#

I can get ten titans blood from it

last veldt
#

There you go

polar quail
#

I’ll do that after I do farming since I’m not sure I’ll reach it with the base sword

livid nymph
last veldt
#

Just grab splash dash and ignore sword

tribal sleet
#

nopeee theyre not supposed to jnow or theyll get suspicious yk

#

i dont know if they can exactly See that too but idrk

polar quail
#

Or

last veldt
#

It's explained in dialogue

#

There are plenty of cast builds or dash builds where the weapon doesn't matter much

polar quail
#

Oh

#

What’s a good one

last veldt
#

Splash dash, flood shot, Zeus on call, sea storm, double strike and jolted

#

And razor Shoals

#

Or Dionysus cast, Scintillating Feast, splash dash etc..

#

On zero heat a dash only run is quite doable

feral belfry
#

Just get smoldering air

#

On Poseidon call

#

Then you don't have to attack again dusa

#

I did that for my first fist clear cause I didn't know how to fight with them, never attacked bouldy

calm zenith
#

Or even just do dash strikes

#

Just get double edge. Tidal dash should still let it hit right?

#

But yeah tidal dash + tier 2s or even duos is enough dps especially if it's just base aspect of zagreus sword

#

Just pom your dash a lot

#

4-6 is usually the end and breakpoint but a common tidal dash may need a little more.

#

Epic and its easy

#

Like tidal dash makes Styx rooms, not the big rooms as much, ridiculously easy and quick

#

Get Breaking Wave and Typhoon's Fury and enemies will pinball to death in room corners

#

Razor Shoals for bosses mostly

#

It's the easiest dash build

last veldt
#

And Elysium. Most enemies there run around a lot, so RS is really effective

calm zenith
#

Yeah true

#

All bosses move around a decent bit. Except maybe the Furies oddly

#

Ig because they're the first boss

#

A good RS will actually do a LOT of damage

last veldt
#

RS plus jolted from sea storm is devastating in Elysium

#

And Hermes for extra damage on splash dash

polar quail
#

I’m at the midpoint of asphodel and I only have 2 boons

last veldt
#

Are they good ones?

polar quail
#

Flood shot and Zeus call

#

Poseidon hasn’t shown up again

feral belfry
#

Rip

last veldt
#

So hope for sea storm from either of them

polar quail
#

Ok

last veldt
#

Not necessarily rip. What did you get instead? Health? Non core boons

polar quail
#

Yes health.

last veldt
#

Razor Shoals and sea storm are priorities probably in that order. Splash dash too or any good dash at this point

#

Don't hold out for a perfect build forever

polar quail
#

As long as I make it to the surface I can get ten titans blood so hopefully this works out, im kinda running out of time but I got 4 minutes left so it should be fine

#

Stygian blade is..not my favorite weapon

last veldt
#

Me neither in default aspect

calm zenith
#

Yeah

last veldt
#

Remember to switch keepsakes after hydra

polar quail
#

Sea storm appeared

last veldt
#

Also maybe skip hammer room for gods you want at this point since you're betting on cast

#

Yay

#

Now you can take advantage of double strike and jolted

#

On your cast

#

Take Poseidon dash if it appears now

polar quail
#

Tidal dash appeared

last veldt
#

Nice. It's late but it's coming together. Now focus on 2nd tier Zeus or Razor Shoals.

polar quail
#

Let’s hope I don’t die to tight deadline though, I have 1:50 left, this went much slower since im not used to using Stygian blade

last veldt
#

Now you're just dashing everywhere. Put the weapon away.

polar quail
#

Ok

last veldt
#

Razor Shoals and jolted will make the build really viable now.

#

Hermes might even bless you with an extra dash or more speed (damage of splash dash depends on speed)

last veldt
polar quail
#

I was so close to losing that I lost all my dds and got to really low health

#

But I did it

#

Replenished one

last veldt
#

To Elysium or out?

polar quail
#

To elysium

#

Hopefully pat shows up

last veldt
#

Yeah, that's the hope.

#

Swap keepsake if you need to

polar quail
#

Swapped to the acorn

#

Only 2 gods matter for this build right?

last veldt
#

Pretty much but take what you can tbh since it's still underpowered

#

Putting something on attack or special still opens up tier 2 boons and duos

#

So don't take unwanted coins over gods

polar quail
#

I skipped the hammer and I got Demeter room. Frost strike, flourish, or ravenous will?

last veldt
#

Ravenous will is the one that boosts when you have no casts?

last veldt
#

If it's rare or epic, take that tbh

polar quail
#

It’s common

last veldt
#

Urgh, probably flourish then.

#

Slows enemies slightly in an area

#

And does a bit of damage

#

Whichever is rarer of the others then

polar quail
#

Lightning strike, static discharge, or high voltage? Probably the first but I just want to be sure

last veldt
#

Hang on, why do you have TD on for getting out first time with sword?

#

Static discharge

polar quail
#

Ok in hindsight that was probably a bad idea

last veldt
#

100% static discharge once you have sea storm on a wet build

#

That's just free damage to everything you go near

polar quail
#

I’m just trying to make it to the surface for the titans blood reward so I probably should’ve turned it off

last veldt
#

You know that the heat thing is different per weapon right?

#

You can be 20 heat on one and be getting rewards on 2 heat for another

#

If you get razor shoals or a good double strike or Zeus legendary you can probably get out altogether

#

... the suspense is killing me shadeembarassed

polar quail
#

Yeah

#

We’ll see

#

I’m fighting thesus and asterius

last veldt
#

Good luck!

polar quail
#

Pat wasn’t there unfortunately

last veldt
#

Cast, cast, cast, dash dash pause dash dash

#

Repeat

polar quail
#

Killed them just as I was about to take deadline damage

last veldt
#

Wooot

#

Remember your call too. Zeus call is best used in small chunks rather than waiting for it to get full

polar quail
#

Yeah I used him during the battle

last veldt
#

Nice

#

Did you keep your DD?

polar quail
#

Yes

last veldt
#

I think you might be sorted then, for getting to Dad at least

polar quail
#

I think that’s my first time not losing a dd to that fight actually

last veldt
#

Pom things like static discharge as they scale well

#

Splash dash too

#

If you didn't get razor shoals yet, that's the biggest missing piece

#

But double strike also really good

polar quail
#

I got cold fusion

#

No razor shoals yet

#

I was able to replenish one dd

#

Do I roll for razor shoals? I found the sack

#

Oh wait it’s Poseidon

last veldt
#

You mean go another tunnel?

polar quail
#

Yeah there’s no Poseidon anywhere I think

last veldt
#

Cold fusion good for you

#

Very good in fact

polar quail
#

Billowing strength, double strike, or lightning reflexes?

last veldt
#

Double

polar quail
#

Ok let’s see how this goes

#

Either way I get ten titans blood

last veldt
#

Billowing is okay but you're betting on constant jolted damage

#

Yay!

#

Good luck!

#

(note to self, it'd be hilarious if this was 10th Dad fight)

polar quail
#

Defeat dad by dashing through the snow

last veldt
#

Shame you didn't get shoals

#

But it turned out okay as a build in the end

polar quail
#

YO I WON

last veldt
#

Yay

#

Nice one

polar quail
#

This was the easiest dad fight ever

#

Somehow

last veldt
#

See, stygius is best weapon after all dusa

polar quail
#

He kept taking damage from the chill, lightning and dash at once

last veldt
#

Synergistic combos are the key

polar quail
#

My very first streak of two runs in a row

last veldt
#

Well, congrats and I'm of to bed now. Save some of that Titan blood btw, there are some hidden aspects you'll want to use later

polar quail
#

Goodnight!

Let’s go I have 12 titans blood now

#

Ayyy you guys did it!

#

I’m on a 5 win streak 30 something runs in

#

But not playing tonight I’m 4 gin and sodas in

Boutta be Dionysus vs hades if I play

They are just tearing the game apart ❤️

lunar pelican
#

How do you sign up for these races?

chrome wharf

Siiick y’all gonna see me there sometime

#

Imma be the first person to speed run the game while taking a pee

i kinda wanna try that tbh

lunar pelican

I think it’ll break tos so I can’t do it on stream unfortunately lmfao

a lobby that i can see other players?

chrome wharf
#

it's a party in the speedrun server

brisk trail
#

@chrome wharf what do RTA and IGT stand for

chrome wharf
#

Real time attack (ie irl time) and In-game time (use the in built timer)

brisk trail
#

why is "attack" in a measurement for time

runic parrot
#

time attack is a synonym for time trials

#

anything that involves going for the fastest time

azure maple
#

just started using aspect of hera recently, having a ton of fun 😌

#

using aphrodite cast

mint ember
#

My favorite so far is nemesis

#

Very funny big numbers

#

Zag bow does the same but less often

#

I wanna max out poseidon and do some funny cast only runs

runic parrot
#

yes. good.

#

use the funny cast sword

calm cove
#

gods legacy or pride?

spice hearth
#

if you really need a specific duo boon for the build to work, god's legacy, if not god's pride all the way

gray apex
#

Usually it's Pride with merciful End actually

#

But for consistency Legacy is fine yea

last veldt
#

I honestly don't remember the last time I got offered ME.

#

I kinda gave up on Ares after a while

flint spade
#

Yeah, Ares has good boons for magical damage, but at some point those are the least important to survive a run

#

Unless the build is focused on special attack and high damage over a few secs

last veldt
#

I like battle rage on Arthur

flint spade
#

Gods, yessssss

#

Arthur is my favorite for everything

last veldt
#

Doing a crit with battle rage on the 3rd strike of Arthur's combo and taking it 6 enemies in Elysium from full health to nothing is so satisfying

flint spade
#

Never tried this. I'll put on a note

#

I'm switching weapons constantly to complete the prophecies

last veldt
#

It's more reliable with Artemis on attack, but Aphrodite gives bigger base damage and you can aim for Hunter's Mark

#

So Aphrodite attack, Artemis special and Hunter's Mark and Battle Rage

flint spade
#

Hunters is insaaaane. Got my first try today, precisely to the duo boon prophecy

last veldt
#

Hit with special and plough through everything with an attack combo

flint spade
#

Got it

#

I feel bad that Ares isn't that good for some builds. Is my fav god (and the only one that I can cosplay lol)

ashen plover
#

i like his dash vortex thing

spice hearth
#

i dunno, i feel like i don't really mind seeing Ares ever on a run

#

but it's true he doesn't have a lot of secondary synergies with most builds

#

the bigger problem is blade vortex feels lackluster unless you build for it specifically

brisk trail
#

i had 60% movement speed and 45% dodge chance but i still lost LMAO

#

fist is rough

strong ridge
#

since the dash circles don’t care about environment like cast does

south sapphire
#

i keep getting lag spikes for some reason

polar quail
#

@last veldt so what should I spend my titans blood on, I’ve got chiron bow lvl 1, zagreus bow lvl 5, aspect of talos, aspect of eris, zeus shield and I think that’s it basically

last veldt
#

What's your preferred play style?

#

Chiron is flexible and powerful at full unlock, but it'll eat most of your Titan blood of you only have it at level one. Eris also very good at full unlock.

#

Personally I like Talos, but most say Demeter is far superior, so maybe hold off on maxing that if it's not your favourite.

last veldt
#

Chiron has more combinations of hammers that work for it than Eris I think, but you can't really go wrong with either.

#

Just max out the one of those you think you'll enjoy playing most, since you'll be using this to farm a lot of Titan blood for the other aspects shadesmile

strong ridge
#

eris does global damage buff to everything
chiron has like 2 or 3 builds that really shine with it imo
that said i am an avid chiron supporter just that eris is deadbrain and global damage buff

last veldt
#

I know, I just have a personal preference for bows really.

strong ridge
#

it’s my favorite non-cheesy aspect (chiron)

lone kernel
#

honestly, i prefer zag to chiron

#

just feels cleaner to play

#

maybe im weird

#

and bad

south sapphire
#

anyone here?

strong ridge
#

are we

arctic marten
#

I really love tisiphones battle

#

Plus the dialogue

strong ridge
arctic marten
#

The arc from murder to zagreus kinda wholesome tho

south sapphire
#

where can i

strong ridge
#

victory

#

boasting

lone kernel
#

took me a while to get into zag bow

#

and its super hammer dependent

#

but it gets me into that flow state

#

like a good zag bow run is a power fantasy

#

well, so is a good every run

#

but idk i get into a rhythm

#

feels good man

strong ridge
#

i feel like bow falls apart with dc but barring that it can be awful fun to run around 1shotting like most everything

devout terrace
#

because you special then dash strike

#

but yeah other ones really struggle with it

strong ridge
#

big if true

gray apex
#

It is

#

Rama DC is no problem

arctic marten
#

Do i HAVE to go to patrocolus again for achilles to spawn

#

I voided the contract talked to achilles and he left

#

Do i have to go to patrocolus?

#

Kill me noooo

#

Back to rng patrocolus

#

youll get him

hearty mural
#

Achilles hunting blades is insane, I didn’t even get vicious cycle or engulfing vortex

flint spade
#

Gods, vicious cicle is SO amazing

#

Got that for the prophecy. I legit became a cutting machine with it 😅

hearty mural
#

What’s the best cast for beo? I just got it after 80 attempts

mint coral
#

Flood for speed, passion for high heat

#

Trippy flare is also fun

old tapir
#

flood also gets you halfway to mirage shot which is insanely op with beo

hearty mural
#

So they keep their respective damage and effects buts it’s like an explosion at the end of the bull rush instead of a projectile?

mint coral
#

Yup

#

No lodge

old tapir
hearty mural
mint coral
#

Also beo is a broken aspect

hearty mural
#

I’ve heard which is why I’m annoyed to get it as my last aspect

mint coral
#

Trippy flare also receives double value from poms on beo

old tapir
#

Lmao I also got it last

#

just wasn't talking to chaos enogh

hearty mural
old tapir
#

BIG MOOD

strong ridge
#

mirage cast is bugged on beo and causes you to do 2x more cast damage
so you want to get at least artemis and poseidon
i’m not sure what the mets is for the bloodstone preference but for infernal soul if you get auto reload>bad news that’s another 2x damage.
then use chaos to get more stones or damage

#

probably try to work aphro in there to get pom power

Beowulf levels are definitely worth it, but it's still very powerful at low levels.

How do you not use man gendered? zfiestWOT

'Twas a rhetorical question.

Anyway, moving on.

Okay.

Beo was WR for like 4 months before

old tapir

ohhhh ok thats the issue

raw herald
#

Rama was like 2 weeks ago and hera was 3 days after that

old tapir

yeah i haven't checked the leaderboard in a few weeks, the last wr i watched was the beo 5:32 with 22min rta

Modded has Achilles 4:55 too

I got a sub-10 eris

so i'm the top of the lando leaderboard

yes!

there are certain languages where the male pronoun doubles as the gender neutral one

#

whether that's desirable or not is another question

high island

Funny how it's always the male ones. courte5Wut

versed mason

even cooler languages where language is divided into animate and inanimate, and a lot more stuff is in animate than you'd think it's very cool

Wow, that's actually nice!

I did enjoy playing with eris rail

livid nymph
#

Is dionysus’s call good?

lone kernel
#

It’s not something you can really build around like how Zeus aid would be, but it hits hard enough that it’s a totally valid choice

raw herald
#

Just don’t use it at the same time as other hangover

lone kernel
#

Note that aphro dio duo is useless for it tho

raw herald
#

Cause they don’t stack

high island
#

It's not useless.

raw herald
#

Yeah it’s pretty good

polar quail
#

I never used any aspects on the spear. What’s a good one to start with

raw herald
#

Achilles

#

Get a cast, Pom it, and watch it shred

last veldt
#

With Achilles maxed out it's very good. Only minimum level is okay but not amazing.

polar quail
#

Hm, so should I try it or farm for more titans blood first

#

Maxing it will probably take a lot of it

#

So I should probably take another one?

last veldt
#

About 15

polar quail
#

Yeah

last veldt
#

How much blood do you still have?

polar quail
#

I have 12. I still haven’t spent any yet

#

I just opened the game

raw herald
#

Spread it out before committing to an aspect

last veldt
#

Then Eris or Chiron based on what we were talking about earlier.

#

A couple of levels in each maybe?

polar quail
#

Sounds good

#

Chiron didn’t make a difference at level 1, but putting a few levels in it should help

last veldt
#

Achilles is a good spear aspect for people who don't like playing spear

#

At level 1, Dionysus is the only viable god for special

lone kernel
#

it's def amazing on charon, i meant for the call use case

polar quail
#

Is lvl 3 chiron good enough?

lone kernel
#

aphro attack dio flourish chiron

I have 7 titans blood left

lone kernel
#

is the magic break point number

#

idr the level offhand but

#

do taht

last veldt
#

It's going to feel much better at level 3. Aim to get Relentless Volley

#

Or concentrated Volley

lone kernel
#

3 gets you to the 5 arrows i think

last veldt
#

6 I thought

lone kernel
#

concentrated is ideal when its for damaging special

#

oh is it 6? idr

polar quail
#

It said six in the description

lone kernel
#

just have five arrows and use hangover lol

if its six thats fine

That'll buff the damage output

It doesn't add more arrows but the last one does a fair bit more now

@high island is our resident aphro expert and im sure knows if its possible to get 6 stacks of hangover via dio call only

craggy verge
#

👀

lone kernel
#

i think youd need greater call

#

which on dio should never be used

craggy verge
#

What if you just use incomplete bars?

#

like 2 or 3 single calls

lone kernel
#

yeah, i mean the quarter-bar signle call

#

i guess that would work

#

but is hoarding the calls worth it

craggy verge
#

sometimes don have opportunith I guess to get in close

#

but prob not

lone kernel
#

i cant think of a reason unless its like

#

meme beam or something

#

where call generates mad fast

#

and i forgot to use it lol

#

then its like oops

craggy verge
lone kernel
#

just because Smair/Dio call is solid

craggy verge
#

Smair Dio is good stuff

#

but it is 3 gods

lone kernel
#

smair/anything except ares or artemis is great

craggy verge
#

Smair Athena 👀

lone kernel
craggy verge
#

Hmmmm true

lone kernel
#

you need to know that hades is going to repeat his last move if you aphro aid him

mint coral

Poms are fun in smair aphro too

lone kernel
#

and if you get a high level call

#

like, three poms or so

#

hang on i have a clip somewhere

mint coral
#

If you have a good charm use it on theseus vs asterius while he is calling a god

craggy verge

Well that was my first time dying before thesus and asterius in a long while

I always pick the other god

so this is exactly what not to do with aphros aid lol

but

#

it's still the minotaur murdering theseus in like 15 seconds

(reason it was a mistake, shoulda spread out the charms on both)

Also witches destroy themselves if charmed

lunar pelican
#

ah rip my win streak finally ended

#

rail gun is so trash imo, my build also sucked tho lmao

high island
#

One of the best weapons in the game... with a good build.

lunar pelican
#

I think it makes you too vulnerable

#

unless you build it correct tho for sure

high island
#

Try Lightning Strike, then get Static Discharge and Tidal Dash. With a bunch of poms on Tidal Dash and maybe 1-2 on Static Discharge.

#

That should shred everything.

lunar pelican
#

Yeah max the attack aspect of it

high island
#

Also you can use your Special or Dash at the same time you reload.

#

So you go can empty your clip > reload + Special > repeat.

lunar pelican
#

I think the other weapons are still better

high island
#

Usually with aggressive dashes while holding Attack.

lunar pelican
#

Though maybe the hidden aspect of the gun will change my mind

high island
#

Well, it gets some of the best results in speedruns and in high heat. But that doesn't mean it always clicks with everyone, of course.

raw herald
#

Delta chamber good when you’re learning it imo

lunar pelican
#

I think I just need to practice with it a bit, its also my least used weapon

#

If it's getting the best speedrun results cant really argue against that

high island
#

Not the best, but it's up there.

raw herald
#

Not the best, but very good

#

Top 6 weapon imo

high island
#

Early on, speedruns were like 99% Eris lol.

twin thistle
#

luci aint as good as eris and hestia

raw herald

Eris is still the easiest to go fast as well

Even now

Just found a guy who died to “elephant”

I love this game

polar quail

I tried chiron but I didn’t find it fun playing with it

#

Is chiron in this game?

high island
#

Nope.

#

His bow is.

polar quail
#

Yeah

deft python
#

Really?

polar quail
#

It’s just a weapon aspect

deft python
#

Oh

calm zenith
#

I'm not a fan of it either

#

My favorite bow is Rama

polar quail
#

Never tried Rama before

calm zenith
#

Hidden aspect

#

It plays differently but it has by far the highest attack damage potential

polar quail
#

I only have one hidden aspect unlocked and I haven’t bought it yet

calm zenith
#

Because its special is rapid concentrated ricocheting arrows that make all enemies hit by them share damage taken for like 10 seconds

#

Then attack is a wide slow shot

#

It clears rooms in one shot. Or waves at least.

#

Some some stuff can reach 5k dmg in one hit like Arthur attack, but Rama technically is almost always doing thousands of damage because 60% of attack damage applies to the entire effected room

lunar pelican
#

I finaly unlocked guan yu and I have the nastiest biuild now

calm zenith
#

Guan yu is a really good spear

#

Exploding launcher built in

does cereberus his favor (pet him 20 times) have to be in different runs or can you do it all in 1 go?

Different runs

You can't pet more than once per visit in the house as far as I'm aware

well you can

i petted him like 11 times in 1 go and then started to wonder if i was wasting my time

Oh okay, I'm used to interactions being rate limited

but it registers as 1 i guess

last veldt

Well you can tell us in 9 goes

trail hazel

i did while i was waiting, but it doesn't count, i already had the pet 10 times achievment

im currently trying to 100% this game (as in achievements)

Still, nobody should need excuses to give pets

trail hazel

true

trail hazel
deft python
trail hazel
#

sounds like hidden aspect of the sword to me

#

has a nice damage reduction aura

twin thistle
#

sounds like any weapon

trail hazel
#

i meant the no regard for health

#

if he has no regard for health its in my opion better if he has some damage reduction

twin thistle
#

or just have enough dps to kill everything before they damage you

#

which a lot of other aspects do better

trail hazel
#

fair excalibur hits hard but slow

high island
brisk trail
twin thistle
#

you kinda want to know how to play sword

Sword

trail hazel
#

thats why i do excalibur, so i think more while i play

twin thistle

id say playing recklessly with arhur is easier than the oyher swords at low heat

#

at low heat maybe

#

but my playstyle might be a bit weird XD

damn I didn't realize they incorporated a end to the actual game with the credits and all

#

badass

hearty mural
#

What’s the best aspect for sea storm?

gray apex
#

Do you wanna specifically aim for it

#

Because you can grab it on something like Eris and it would do good damage but you don't really try to get it

#

If it shows up you just take it and that's it

#

If you wanna strictly build around it/ have it as your main damage source you can try Sea Storm Chiron

#

Or supersoaker bouldy

hearty mural
#

Like I know it’s a strong thing but with merciful end I don’t go in looking for it with rail I go in with fists

lunar pelican
#

Alright now i gotta do one last run to see if anything changes after I bring back momma persephone

gray apex
#

It wont be 8 bolts due to internal cooldowns and what not

lunar pelican
#

persephone back in 38 runs not too bad

gray apex
#

But yea something like Tempest Flourish Sea Storm Static Discharge Double strike

#

Would melt bosses especially with good hammers

#

And most likely Zeus Call

#

possibly splitting

hearty mural
#

But it makes sense for balancing

lunar pelican
#

What do the chapters before a run mean?

#

When it's a closeup shot of hades and it says judged or whatever

hearty mural
#

Just some extra lore/character

#

Pretty random I’m sure

gray apex
#

I like how you have a lot memey boss fights as gifs lol

twin thistle
#

gotta educate people about superior builds dusa

twin thistle
#

only problem is you need quick plus massive spin, seastorm, splitting bolt, double strike, high voltage, jolted, and bad news or rush delivery bouldy

devout terrace
gray apex
#

idk damage or something

twin thistle
#

why would you not want 50-100% increased zoos damage thanthink

devout terrace
#

instead of just 50% cast damage

hearty mural
#

Even if it’s already lodged?

#

That’s really broken

devout terrace
#

nah you cant have it lodged

#

less useful on stuff like hestia

#

but zeus/ares/dio stuff really benefits

gray apex
#

No

#

If it's lodged no bonus

hearty mural
#

But the bonus is meant to be on just casts and it’s a global debuff

#

So an opposite boiling

gray apex
#

Boiling is only base special and attack

#

So

#

It's just common RD

twin thistle
#

ngl if bad news worked how it was supposed to itd be kinda crappy when hyper delivery exists especially with how rare it is. tbh hyper delivery is better anyways if you get rare or epic

gray apex
#

yea

twin thistle
#

even non bugged mirage shot is better if you have like more than +50% cast damage bouldy

polar quail
#

Hm idk what run I want to do next, I don’t want to do the same runs over and over

high island
#

32 Heat.

polar quail
#

Really? I haven’t even finished a 2 heat run yet

twin thistle
#

32 is just 3 more heat then bouldy

high island
#

Yeah.

#

32 is 3 + 2.

gray apex
#

I’m totally a casual player and I can tell you 32 heat is easy

twin thistle
#

me too dusa

polar quail
#

I could try it with my favorite aspect I guess

full nexus
#

Hm

#

It won't be easy

polar quail
#

Definitely not at this stage

feral belfry
#

32 heat on all weapons was a perfect challenge for me

polar quail
#

I’ve only cleared 6 times and I don’t have all aspects yet

feral belfry
#

Well, it sounds like you know what you need to do next

#

Practice higher heat

high island
#

I only have the second lowest reaction time out of anyone in high heat, and even I have done 32 Heat.

feral belfry
#

You need 32 to clear all achievements

high island
#

You don't actually need 32 for any achievements.

feral belfry
#

Oh I thought you did for skelly prize

polar quail
#

You just need it for the statue right

lone kernel
#

You need it for skelly prize but not for steam achievements

feral belfry
#

Oh I thought they were tied

high island
#

Have you fully upgraded all of your keepsakes yet?

#

If not, do that and you'll have plenty of build variety.

polar quail
#

Yeah, I just don’t want to end up using the same weapon and build over and over when practicing higher heat. I’ll probably do another eris rail run.

#

Athena’s, acorn, artemis, Zeus, Aphrodite, are maxed out

calm zenith
#

You can do 32 heat on whatever tbh. I did it on gilgamesh

#

Athena attack + splash dash

high island
#

And try out all of the different pacts.

#

There's plenty to explore.

last veldt
#

Achievement is for 16 heat

#

32 is just optional masochism

one dash and zag sword is not pog

gray apex
#

It kinda is yea

twin thistle
#

main problem is you usually dont play ri4 zag sword bouldy

#

having no dps and no dashes means you gotta be really patient

#

id do fresh file if ME was guaranteed residentzag

actually could just install a mod for that thanthink

twin thistle
#

i forget whats the furthest ive gotten either champs or got murdered by dad thanthink

gray apex
#

I got to dad once but left Heroes at like 10 hp so it was going downhill from there bouldy

#

Also it being like slowish compared to regular hades stuff makes me less fun to practice for me

#

So never got into it

twin thistle
#

ngl dodging spins with fo0 one dash is harder for me than fo2 bouldy

Heroes and Hades are very tough on ff yea

Actually pain

Just not used to it, ff players seem to have no issues with that but yea

Just like we’re too used to fo2 spins and whatnot

How do I give hades more nectar? He already has 3 and the option hasn’t been there for a while

First real speedrun attempt and I got 16:04. so close to sub 15

brisk trail

Just do a heat you already did to get darkness from bosses

aim for mirage shot

and the artemis leg + as many chaotic shots/grasps as you can get

alr

#

dont have Poseidon’s keepsake (keep forgetting to give him nectar) so im just gonna pray to rngjesus

oh god i forgot about chain lightning

so bad that i have erased it from my mind

its fine as a stepping stone for splitting bolt when im running eris but its just really not worth it if youre not going for the legendary tbh

twin thistle

high voltage aint that bad. hitting a bunch of enemies with every jolted proc melts groups

runic parrot
#

yeah true

#

its fine if they're mushed up together

yeah

i mean his autograph for hypnos

and then asterius kicked my ass but hey i got mirage shot so

twin thistle

yeah think the autograph questline thingy requires you to die to asterius and theseus a couple times each

mint ember

it was a hammer start

so each weapon would have diff option

Because you do infernal. The recharging cast.

I did manage to get my cast to do over 1000 dmg

I had +73% cast dmg + a cast stone from Chaos, and a like lvl 7 epic Trippy Flare on Beo

You can also do passion flare or phalanx flare

What's the highest you've gotten trippy flare on beo

#

7 is decent but far from the highest you can get
