Does anyone have a screenshot of what the lounge shortcut looks like?
I'm afraid that if I buy it it'll save I won't be able to go back
Yeah ok I think I won't take it thanks
It saves time.
I was so close to finishing my first 16 heat run but then my game crashed as I was fighting hades
I thought it was gonna bring me back to where cerberus was when I reloaded but nope
think #h1-tech-fixes has save recovery stuff
if not then https://www.speedrun.com/hades/guide/uj036
I play on console
nvm then 
the run was pretty bad so nvm
Time to go again
I think I'm gonna go for hera aphro cast build wish me luck
gl
what the hell is boop
If you are afraid of trying something the best option is to save before u buy then buy it and alt f4 if you don't like ot
It
hey guys i finished all the prophecies in hades and there's none new introduced i only did one of skellys prizes so is there anything im missing out on?
Idk if this is the right chat but I'm having trouble getting bounties from any of the bosses no matter how insane I make my heat. Do you only get them once more after you give them their upgrades? I only get darkness anymore but I need diamonds to reunite pat and achilles and free sisyphus. It's gonna be a pain if I can only get them by exchange through the wretched broker
did you finish your current heat before moving on to a new one?
otherwise its the same prizes
and btw do heat in order
like add a extra 1 each time
otherwise your wasting one run of those prizes
and btw by the time it hits 20 on one weapon there's no new bounties
I think I already messed that up then bc I got crazy with the heat and testing out what they'd do but yeah I finished most of the runs I went for
I don't think I ever took it to 20 though
did you finish that run?
like did you beat hades
because if you didn't then you didn't mess it up
you can still go back
if you did you messed it up for THAT weapon
Oh I think I only beat Hades twice with extra heat
also you can always save up coins in your runs to get either diamonds or titan blood
I was considering that if I can't farm from the hydra then charon's got my back
for the diamond its 1000 coins for the titan blood its 1200
That just won't be fun for me
oh no for me i just go through coin doors and hope i get hermes boon side hustle
it helps a lot
I'll try it that way it probably won't be as bad as I'm thinking 0: thank you
your welcome :) you can always ask the community for anything you need
(btw there's also a reddit page idk if its official but asking their also helps)
I was peeking at the reddit it's really useful. I looked there first before I messaged here. I've used it to see what people feel about different mechanics in the game
yeah its really useful ya know
is blade rift able to strike from behind
it can hit shield guys but idk about backstab, I'd have to check
hey, getting the charon fight doesnt require any sort of affinity with him, does it?
are you allowed do speedrun a category u made urself
Yes Ofc, it might not be a leaderboard category but there’s nothing stopping you
And if it gets popular/more people start running it, it could become a category in the future
Anyone else have a favorite Greek myth that isn’t mentioned in the game? The first Greek story I heard in high school was the story of Arachne and it has always been my favorite!
im a big sucker for apollo and hyacinthus :) arachne is super cool as well yeah
do i have news for u ; )
Hyacinthus was definitely a good story.
Oh I hope Athena brings it up at some point or something lmao
I’m almost 100 runs in and still impressed just how much unique dialogue there still is
True. Same
They just keep putting out these beautiful games with such care.
Supergiant is my 11 year old’s favorite developer; he’s been playing Bastion since he was a wee lad.
not really a myth, but I wish Hemera (day incarnate, Nyx's daughter) could show up for a bit
because Nyx has a line about like, she didn't raise all her children well, and some of them aren't on good terms with her, to which Zag assures "no you're great"
And seeing someone who can't stand to be in the same room as Nyx to the point of giving rise to the whole day/night cycle would've been nice for Zag to realize no, Nyx really isn't being modest that she's not a perfect mother
Not sure if it requires at least one nectar, but definitely not the whole gauge
oh dear
<- hasnt beat the game yet
in my defense i only just got it like a week ago
sans dies at the end

Sooo did I mess up my bounties for taking higher heat
is okay i dont mind spoilers LOL
no
You can't mess up your bounties
You just get rewards for whatever heat you were supposed to do
If you do 6 Heat and your gauge fills at 4 you just get the rewards for 4
I thought so, someone said the bounties would mess up so I just wanted to be sure
one of zagreas's parents is ||Hades. ||
aint no way
What's everyone's opinion about casting? It's interesting to see people use it or not but I'm interested in knowing what are everyone's best cast and worst cast
Imo it's Demeter being the worst and Aphrodite being the best
- All
- Casts
- Bring
- Their
- Unique
- Value
- Artemis cast without Hunter's Mark
- Slicing Flare
I completely disagree with you
HAHAHAHAAHAH slicing flare is pretty big tho ngl
But Demeter's cast on the Hera bow is the worst and hilarious
LMAO
@covert zenith basically, forgot I was running a Hera then I got a Demeter cast
I personally like Demeter cast, but it needs other boons' help to be great
bring a particular item to a particular battle and you will know
The best cast for non cast weapons is probably phalanx shot
Some people hate phalanx shot
I personally love it bc it's big splash damage on Achilles aspect
Why
i avoid phalanx if i’m running zeus atk

Phalanx bouncing around tho @strong ridge
athena duos str8 cheekers
PHAT DAMAGE THO
don’t care want smair
You can get smouldering air and the bouncing phalanx 
or i can just get bouncing phalanx and never see smair
better to just not have it possibly appear
but
Fair fair
phalanx is strong
2 duos is not that hard to get tbh
^
ap and ri would like to make an appearance
I had three duos once
You use ap and ri 
big heat u have to
All between Zeus, Artemis and Poseidon lmao
You talking about high heat ?
you don’t usually have to take both but around 50+ you will see them
i consider 50 as like “big heat” it’s not largest ever but
55 is both fs
Just go EM4 style
xd
Phalanx shot builds at high heat are practically non existent
Both Poseidon sword and Achilles suck
Rama is the best phalanx shot aspect
At high heat
At low heats it’s Arthur 
@raw herald is Achilles aspect bad at 32 heat?
No
It’s not at the point where its unrealistically hard, but there are Ofc Better options
Mainly melee ones
achilles probably thrives in 32 with blades build
Guan yu probably the best spear for 32
real
Or zagreus
Achilles is the only one I'm running at 32 bc I suck at the other weapons LMAO
Yea Guan yu comfy
I try this stupid thing where I hope for flurry stab and divine strike so I can deflect all incoming damage LMAO
Then the farthest I got was with Zeus and flurry
Divine dash seems the way to go on high heat
it’s not horrific
Yeah flurry jab, Zeus attack and jolted should be enough damage
if ur runnin flurry maybe double strike over jolted but idk jolted way reliable
Dstrike on Zeus attack 
xd truth jolted better
Jolted always
Double strike can't be offered 
y
It’s not a bolt
What's the best curse: Jolted, Rupture or Decay
All are great but jolt is better
i now know why i never see that mf
so yea ignore me LMAO
Decay is so good
I like decay it's like a better hangover
Too bad you have to have ALL ENEMIES FROZEN but for bosses that's easy to do
I'm thinking of inflicting chill from now on at Forced overtime 2, to get everyone back to normal speed
Why I didn't think of it earlier, I'll never know
And hope for decay
u will adjust 2 to fo2
Artemis attack is so much more damage tho
@strong ridge I always run on FO2
u made it sound mandatory
For 32 it’s not
no
But it helps to have it on
i mean inflicting chill
Oh
I mean, it's not mandatory but I've been dying consistently a lot on FO2
I just run FO2 so I can make it in TD3
Have you tried HL5 FO0
FO0 can make TD3 even with hell mode's JS1 CP1
@raw herald it was either HL5 or EM6 on FO2, I CHOOSE HL5 
Sure sure
Can you get curse of longing and merciful end at the same time
Yeah
You can't "mess up" your bounties anyway. Going higher in Heat than you need to won't have any negative consequences. If the Heat gauge says go up to 6 Heat, for example, then going above 6 will just get you the bounties from 6 Heat.
Em6 
What’s a good aspect of achilles build
Achilles Spear SpeedRun Guide 2021/07 by 185 Original guide in Japanese: https://hackmd.io/@fdpnI50NTZC0-T-yGpY5Dw/HJ2lg7BCu Foreword This guide is written with the assumption that you will get Flurry Jab as your first hammer. It does not touch on other builds like Serrated Point start. It is a...
anywhere i can find links for other guides like this? they are very interesting
What unlocks Skellys prizes
Had a fun aphrodite attack build with the gilgamesh fists last night
and beat EM Theseus!
beating a run with that heat
spammed demeter call at the end of the fight with privileged status up 😂
When you run mods for speed runs, 1. is it easy to set up the mods (never modded before) and besides two sack, what else do they adjust?
It's very easy, if you're referring to the Speedrunning Modpack made by the community, it also gives you a hammer of your choice, the 4 core boons get offered on the first boon that you pick up, you can see Fountains before entering them, Asterius/Barge/tiny vermin wont show up as minibosses, and you can disable Thanatos for rta runs
All of this is configurable, you can tweak it the way you want
i like the minibosses
its pretty easy to install. theres a guide somewhere in the modding or speedrunning server
t fight them
You can just enable them again
Thank you
I don't REALLY want to mod but not 2 sacking at the very end of a run is so sad
And I don't really want to punish myself with higher heat but still want to play hades lol
speed running sounds like a good itch
With 14:52 on the clock should I go through the tunnels to see if I can find a dd well
You're more likely to just lose more HP.
Ok
how low health are you
I’m at full health
Just fight dad.

sometimes you can pause and quit after buying anvil

the anvil would be good if you get to choose which hammer upgrade
well then itd be op
It's decent enough the way it is.
imagine playing sword and you get cursed slash on the anvil
Lmfao thankfully not
I don’t have to imagine 
not based
acided
finally
I opened the can of tuna I bought just to get free shipping on the hades switch cartridge
zag voice: aah it's still fresh!
whats a good build involving merciful end? as in, keepsakes, other gods that may help, what weapons are good, ect
Fists and Sword are very good weapons for ME
Any aspect that can dash attack very quickly, so fists sword and rail
MEris

tbh dont care about other gods too much. often want to avoid them other than filling your pool with ME since you need a lot of parts going
though hermes extra dashes and rush delivery great as always. after you get ME and everything you can like stick on arty cast for deadly reversal
Zeus and Artemis are good tho, for call and deadly reversal

yeah zeus call is great since as long as you dont have athena cast or a revenge boon he doesnt clog up the duo pool
cool cool thanks!
The games feeling really easy I might try a 32 heat run soon
Just do it.
I'm at heat lvl 2 I don't see how I can get good enough to get heat levels as high as 32
Basically have the whole mirror unlocked except the last few charges of the fate thingies. Also have most weapons altho they are low levels. Do the weapon upgrades make that much of a difference
In some cases, yeah quite a lot
I see ty
I just wanna get to heat 5 so I can take some of those other gates that are heat locked
I remember thinking I’d never beat Theseus and now I have two weapons sub-10 and two at 40 heat
You can do it
If you want
yea the ones in tartarus are really fun but after that its too hard to be worth imo
Chad elysium erebus
inb4 styx erubus
Styx erebus is just em4
does zag just like make bloodstone
@brisk trail I can’t use Battie on dad yet
Oh god long time ago i didnt olay
And i acrually played one game and ended the game like persefona g to tartar
You know Hades kinda has a seven foot frame, rats on his back
i heard that when he calls your name, it all fades to black
So I'm using the bow with the aspect of Chiron and I got to pick between Cold Fusion or Smoldering Air...I've got Demeter's Call and Thunder Flourish
Static Discharge at base rarity and level
Smoldering air then
Got Double Strike, if that makes a difference
yea smair is one of the best boons in the game
Smair it is then
I edited it
#h1-builds-and-combat message hehe lvl 100 dash
reality is often disappointing
😔
Just a warning for the future: Thunder Flourish has an internal cooldown that will prevent you, usually, from getting more than 1 lightning bolt per Chiron volley.
So it's pretty bad on Chiron, unfortunately.
Kbm too
yeah
Any tips on not losing all you’re lives in the 3d boss fight?
basically ignore theseus in the beginning and lead asterius to the other side of the arena and take him down first. use the statues for cover against spear throws and stay behind asterius.
@humble hazel ur me
Lol
🤝
what controls are you guys using on m&KB? I switch cast and spec defaults for some weapons but looking for some other ideas too
this setting isn't great especially for builds where you 1) cast and special, and 2) have to reload on gun
but just generally interested in some more controls ideas
mmm i feel like trying to beat hades the second time has been significantly harder
it should be easier cuz u get more upgrades
i like the normal controls best
yeah idk i get to him more often but i just have trouble beating him
you probably just got really good boons/hammers that one time you beat him but haven't quite learned patterns yet
focus on pattern learning
yeah more or less
been trying to
@brisk trail for me, speedrun keepsakes are usually god/god/hourglass or hades aid based on how good the well is and how much money i have/hades aid or acorn (for high confidence insurance)
but im just learning and tbh i was half memeing then i realized i was done
i was just curious, i havent attempted any speedruns yet and my fastest is 16 min bcz td3 forced me to be sub 20 
ye typically u force gods in first two biomes then take miscellaneous keepsakes in 3rd/4th (coin purse, hourglass, acorn, hades aid)
What keepsake do you equip to skip Elysium?
you're good, i'm happy to help
if the well is juicy or i have cash and rolls to spare, hourglass
I meant Croven lol.
Explosive rama feels even more stupid
Both, both is good
It's sooo slow
so I'm looking at a prophecy, if you were to distribute darkness to an upgrade and then put darkness into the alternate version, do you get affected by both?
no you have to choose
how does dark reflections work if you can't be affected by all of them?
oh wait I get it
lol
How do I unlock the epilogue? Do I have to max out the hearts on every olympian
6 of them.
havent played in awhile, has there been talk about a co-op hades or a mod for it?
hey uh guys is there any use for diamonds I finished all the music ones and i finished freeing orpheus and achilles and idk what to use the rest of my 20 diamonds for i also finished giving each god and cthonic god abroshia and cerebus so all of em are max so idk what to use them for also once im done maxing out all my weapons whats the point of titan blood?
co-op? no a mod idk but most likely no because the whole point of hades is to finish fighting through the underworld on your own
you get help from than but other then that no
ah, would be a great game to play with a friend
it would be weird
apparently there is a multiplayer mod
you can't pick 2 boons so they're gonna have to allow that, second people may move off your screen/ you also need to know if two people can pick different weapons or not
Eventually they're just paperweights, other than a handful for the resources director
Same for Titan Blood and Ambrosia. I wish the broker would occasionally do a "buy diamonds/ambrosia/blood for darkness" deal
bruh i literally want a use for it
If you want to look for mods, the Hades Modding discord server is pinned in #self-promotion.
sub 1 KBM pickup 
Are there going to be any official updates after 1.0?
#hades-patch-notes the latest one should have the answer you need
What if i told you i got both
With Heroic aphro attack with like 9 poms lmao
2:25 tart exit
perfect hammer too lol

F
I tried explosive rama but it felt awful and bricked my run lol
can you not dash atk with it or something? the damage seemed to be lower than I had before taking it because it charged so slow you could never get out perfect shots
twin rama is insane though. instantly killing shielded mobs feels so good. feels like every time I get twin + perfect shot on rama I get a new PB
yeah idk it just felt so slow it was unreal
It’s hard to get used to
I'm not sure if Ih ad perfect shot that run
I took explosive in elysium
could be why the dmg was lower on explosive dash than perfect shot dash w/o explosive
yeah just casually 2 shot each hades phase with artemis attack xd
mark on the adds = almost guaranteed hades crit w the twin shot since it rolls
oh yeah dont forget the 30% hermes attack speed boon

Well you're supposedly dash striking so that doesnt help
oh it doesnt affect it?
thought it made dash strikes charge faster
felt like it at least
attack speed doesnt affect dash strikes
Dash strikes charge speed is not affected
that goes for every weapon
I see, I was consistently getting them off on hades though. but only with overtime 1
could even run acorn for the stance too
👀
Bro 3 minutes to get there 😭 I'm jealous
Rolldy
Link?
this is purely self indulgent and hopefully accurate, there are 24 results in this quiz, you can see them all here: https://tinyurl.com/y3kgazx5 also idk how you people are finding this quiz but follow me @tazatouilles
No one got hades apparently
It’s official. You are an edge lord
personality quizzes
I got Patroclus
Maybe the belief that it was faster made you more confident in doing Power Shots. 
which was pretty accurate!!
Ah, the character quiz makes a reappearance.
I got Lady Aphrodite when I did it, naturally.

best run so far
175 health
2 death defiance and lucky tooth
about to enter elysium
Nice nice. What's the build?
where can i send screen shot
Same
Was easily expected though
I cannot for the life of my find a sturgeon 
I’ve only caught 2 fish
I got Ares
"I'm not able to directly upload in those other channels!"
This is true, we only allow direct image uploads in hades-victory-boasting and fan-works. However, link embeds are allowed. Upload your content to an external host such as Imgur, or even your own private Discord server, and post the image link to the appropriate channel.
So just upload it to imgur or something and you can link it.
im not good at this stuff lol
basically im using zeus shield and doons i have are lightning strike thunder flourish swift flourish unshakable mettle sea storm minotaur rush static discharge
and a few other that dont rlly matter
like dash damage and stuff
just killed thesus sadly costed me a death defiance
Good luck with the rest
i can buy kiss of styx
Nice
replenish 1 death defiance
ty
i dont know if i wanna know how far awar from escaping i am
Do you?
ok fine tell me lol
You got one area and a final boss after
Yep
whats that
A great suggestion
Keepsake.
Keepsake from Eurydice
i dont think i have it
If you don't have it and haven't used up your Lucky Tooth yet, take that.
You can expect nothing but perfection from the high priestess of the temple of Aphrodite
High priestess of the Temple of Aphrodite.
To get the acorn make sure you give nectar to Eurydice when she appears
i cant recall who that is
ill try doing that next run
btw i died last time cuz of some giant rats
cuz of poison
how do i avoid that
First of all, never stay in front of Gigantic Vermin because they'll bite you. Always to the side or behind them.
Second, just kite them away from the poison if there's too much. You're in no rush.
tips taken
When they don't have armor and there's no massive poison puddle around them, you can just stunlock them.
If you have Tidal Dash or Flood Shot, use that aggressively in the tunnels. Wall-slam damage scales with the biome, so in the Temple of Styx, wall-slams do a ton of damage.
And as a general suggestion, take the miniboss tunnels first.
i do have tidale dash
Yeah, then you shouldn't have too much trouble there.
I hope you put a lot of poms in that. If not, do that if you still get the opportunity.
the ones with skulls
Yeah.
well i can take a miniboss pom rn
btw does the game save only when entering a chamber
what if i was about to die and i alt F4
do i restart the chamber
not saying that i would do it
You’d have to reset the run I think
Alt+F4 generally has the same effect as giving up, pretty sure.
What's the other one?
At certain points you can’t quit, if you try to you get sent back to skelly
If that ever happens, though, there are steps to recover a save in #h1-tech-fixes.
miniboss gold
Like after getting hit by a boss. So I think that would happen
What's in the shop?
And how much money do you have?
A screenshot would make this easier. 
also heart athena and ares
Yeah, just take the double pom and then the double money.
How do I unlock the hades heart?
wait am i going back to this place after finishing a path or something
Yeah.
That'll happen after the ending.
okey im setting off
Good luck!
Which ending? ||bring back mom||?
I already did that
you give him nectar or ambrosia after im pretty sure
I can’t
then you just have to talk to him a couple of time at the house
just do a couple runs or die on purpose
Think it happens after a dialogue with him about being friendlier to zagreus and recognizing his good qualities
Or thanking him for ||returnibg Persephone||
Just keep doing runs and talking to people, pretty much. That's the answer like 99% of the time.
Nope.
just slayed some tank little rat
so i upgrade tidal dash
Yeah.
The miniboss tunnels are usually a little safer, so just for that alone I would take that.
Buy a Centaur Heart before the tunnel if there is one and you can afford it.
do i have to finish all 5 tunnels ?
Not necessarily.
You need to find something for Cerberus. It'll never be in the first tunnel you enter, after that it's random.
54% chance it's in the second tunnel you enter. So it's weighted towards showing up early, at least.
oh okey
there isnt one
i can only afford zeus boon
i have 206
Might as well buy that.
You don't wanna lose another DD before the final boss, ideally, so anything that helps you get through the tunnels more safely is good.
Keeping the 206 in case you run into a Well that has a Kiss of Styx is also an option.
But I think that's more of a gamble than just buying the boon and hopefully getting something good that'll help you get through the tunnels more easily. Getting more Lord Zeus boons on your Lord Zeus boons is always great.
shame
Well, lesson learned. 
ofc
Zeus has some of my favorite boons
Buy the boons.
Double Strike, High Voltage, or Storm Lightning from the first one if possible. That'll unlock his legendary.
there is storm lightning
Storm lightning is one of the prerequisites for Zeus legendary boon
So you might see it or you might not
base 12% chance for each boon slot to roll a legendary/duo unless taken by a priority core or status
there is a lot of stuff i yet to learn in this game
the question now is ares athena or heart tunnel
Athena has a chance to give you a defiance back
wait i already have what cerberus needs
That's not necessarily true.
im so dumb
Oh, then just go for that.
You need a core boon from her that's not her Call in order to unlock her DDs.
cerberus vanquished not really lol
It's bribery.
omg its hades
Good luck!
im gonna get my asss wooped in 60 seconds
Might not take that long.
||which health bar|| 
yea he is lol
Nope
i mean that makes sense

jk 
Well, the first thing to focus on is to just get some information on what kind of attacks he has and how he telegraphs his attacks. You're not really expected to win anyway.
hades would prob be rly hard with 2 health bars 
imagine if he could have three 
sounds good
tho idk how much info i can get with 2 hp
Literally unbeatable
well you can block in a corner
“ez just dont get it” -hypnos probably
You're getting information just by paying attention and not wacking at him mindlessly, pretty much.
Your shield can block the skulls he shoots at you, that'll actually make them disappear.
its like when they say the name of the movie in the movie
That's something that's very strong about shield.
Killing the skulls prevents the green shockwaves
Wait you can do that?
Yes.
I didn't even die by his hand 💀
bullrushing into skulls also works
What a shame
just uh dont let dad breathe on you while shooting his skull they might go right through your block 
So the score is still 0-0. 

didnt think about it this way

actually i died on purpose to see the dialogues when i reach hades but not kill him
well i think thats it for today
ill beat hades tomorrow
i have 2 ambrosia and idk what theyre used for
u have to max nectar a relationship then do their favor, then u can give ambro to actually max it
it also upgrades summons
and who should i max
try to max the relationship of either meg or sisyphus
i gave a lot of nectar to skelly
they give the best summons
skelly summons is bad
meg is the best but sisys is decent
I'd suggest asking for more help when doing your builds because that'll probably help you the most right now. And it's much easier to get stronger builds with some advice than it is to just play better just from getting advice.
LMAO
when u say builds u mean mirror keep sakes and boons ?
yea
||ZAG ESCAPED AND WHEN HE FELL INTO THE RIVER HE WENT ✌️||
Not just boons. Also when to go for poms and HP, things like that.
is there a good youtube guide you would suggest
Errr... I guess this one is very comprehensive with good ideas for every aspect. https://www.leereamsnyder.com/blog/hades-build-guide
Not a video, though.
But a difference between following a guide and asking for advice is that a guide won't be able to tell you what to go for between 2-3 options in more specific situations.
While other players can actually explain the strategy behind the decisions like why going for a Centaur Heart is better than going for a boon or a pom in this particular situation... things like that.
So you'd suggest asking for help every time i have to choose ?
Yeah, that can be good. Like maybe try to come up with a decision yourself and then ask for suggestions and see how your idea compares to that.
I'll try doing that thank you for your time
you can also record a whole run and ask if anyone is free to watch and give pointers
Ok, to practice for 32 heat I’ll go to 14heat,16 heat, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, and try to do sub-20 minutes
Should I try practicing with the same weapon or different weapons?
Just getting consistent sub 20s would probably do it. After that, you're best off practicing at 32 Heat for 32 Heat tbh.
Like, take a speedrun pact and then work on your times and when you're somewhat consistent, do 32 Heat. That would be the fastest route to that probably.
With whatever your best aspect is.
Speedrun pact being EM2 FO2.
And you can throw in TD3 just to get more comfortable with having that on.
But if your aspect isn't level 5 yet, you can just finish up your bounties real quick to upgrade it.
Shouldn't be too difficult.
Like, bounties with that aspect.
Yeah I’m just doing lower heats to get adjusted to some of the pacts a bit more. My best aspect? Idk if it’s zag bow (the only one maxed out), or eris rail. Probably eris rail
With more blood I can probably max out eris rail as well
can someone link me to the modding discord por favor?
It's pinned in #self-promotion.
ty
Just keep on EM2 FO2 and probably TD3. That's already 15 Heat anyway.
And then for 32 Heat, you'd take off FO2 anyway if you want an easy pact.
But FO2 practice will help a lot.

How to Speedrun Hades - Basic Guide 2022 Edition Hi! This is a basic guide to speedrunning Hades. It’ll cover everything you need to know to get started and to play through a single run, as well as some of the things you can do to optimise your time. There’s a lot to learn about speedrunning this...
do you guys know how to get the damage summary data after a run?
the what
If you’re talking about the graph that appears at the bottom left
With the percentages
That’s a mod
Yeah that’s it
Should be available to download on nexus mods
I think it’s called “Ellos DPS counter mod” or something like that
“Ello’s DPS meter”
What does pierce mean?
Pierce is a commonly used description for the maximum number of bloons that can be affected by an individual element of attack.
according to bloons wiki
I do love the Bloons game but sadly there are no monkeys with darts in hades
Pierce means goes through enemies. Also potentially unblockable.
Aspect of supermonkey
Like, Charged Shot on the shield is unblockable.
aspect of quincy would be good for high heat since nothing gets past his bow
Aspect of psi one shots enemies and is good at high heat cause of increased levelling 👀
So will be able to one shot bosses sooner
OP

What heat is needed for prize 2?
you can interact with the statue to show it btw
I did higher than eight heat but not exactly eight heat so I didn’t get the statue yet, so I’m going to get it next
Are any of the hidden aspects good at low levels?
I read guan yu wasn’t worth using until it’s maxed out
it's because 70% reduced HP and healing is brutal
So what’s it like at max level
just health
That’ll be the last aspect I use then
guan yu is pretty good
It sounds interesting to play with definitely
Most healing is based on your max HP, so it's an indirect effect on healing.
But Guan Yu can easily keep your HP capped anyway.
Tbh personally I'd just max out your best aspect, then use that to max out another aspect, etc.
So you can pretty quickly only use Lv.5 aspects.
Wow
How much have you done in that time
1100 runs on my main save
498 wins
and like 250k kills
ive bought everything in the game except for the titles
and completed every prophecy
What was the last one you completed
idk probably all duos or legendaries
Nice rookie numbers.
shut up
No. 
We can’t all be super hardcore players like you
yeah im a casual player
more hours doesnt directly correlate to being a better player anyway
when did you start playing, do you remember?
I’m a super casual . I didn’t even touch the game today
Don't think anyone was talking about who's better.
jan 1st 2021
wow, thats a nice date lol

I’ve only started playing for almost a month
Dec 24 or 25, 2019 for me.
December 27th or 26th of last year
either way i dont think you have to play every day to not be casual, its fine to take breaks even if you speedrun or do high heat
Taking a break during a speedrun seems like a bad idea. 
Imagine leaving the game on and dying to tight deadline
Some IGT submissions from me on the leaderboard actually had some 10-15 min breaks lol.
ive done that lmao
True gamer moment
You can’t just eat lunch or go to the bathroom while you’re doing a speedrun
Or can you?
You can.
True gamers never leave their seats to do either

if ur doing in game time (IGT) speedruns, you can take as long of a break as you want if the timer's paused lmao
well i guess even if the timers not paused, you'd just be losing time then 
i finally platniumed hades
Oh cool you have less than me and have done way more LOL
That sounds like if you're on a rush finishing an assignment as the deadline is close but then you just abruptly say "nah I'll just go and have some chill tea time for 20 minutes"
mid september 2021
That run would be like
IGT: 11 min 
RTA: 11 hours 
i completed maxing out all of the keepsake
is epilogue the true ending? after 10 escapes?
You don't get the epilogue after 10
when do you get it?
It depends but you need to improve your relationship with multiple gods, I remember getting mine around the 70 mark (15 was first win)
It usually takes 30-40 attempts after your first win atleast I would say
i have much more attempts than that
after first win
but a lot of them i intentioanlly died in the lava zone(i forget all names in this game somwhow)
cause i wanted to get meg's companion
so i farmed her
but still counts right?
you dont need to beat meg to talk to her
no but when you beat her/or her sisters she is nearly every time in the house
peter stop killing meg in hades
how desperate is he
Yeah, that definitely shouldn't go here. Tell a moderator and just block them.
he is not in this server ye mb and beuh i had a DEJA VU YOU SAYING THIS
i havent done it 190 attempts after my first win 
Well, I honestly have no idea why you post something when you already know it has nothing to do with the channel topic lol. It's a little confusing. 
idk just casually showing how desparte a kid is for nitro anyways mb
mb i posted on discussion
when i grinded my second file it took like 50-60 total clears to get the epilogue. dialogue rng can get pretty annoying
Shaming people isn't really in the spirit of the server anyway. Remember the first rule is to be kind. 
think ive gotten almost all the dialogue
just dont remember to gift the gods
he is not in this server and ye i kinda shamed him but he was pretty cringe with that pwease
anyways mb warn me ;)
ngl its a bit hard to lay off the habit of immediately picking up boons lol
Okay does the chaos boons counts as actual boons
For what purpose?
For the unique dialogue and the run clear message, they don't count.
Only purgeable boons count.
So this means the sunken treasure too?
Yeah, and Nourished Soul etc. Those are fine because you can't purge them.
How about Hermes boons?
Those count because they're purgeable.
For the boonless category on the high heat leaderboard, the rules are different, though, if you're interested in that at all.
My plan is just keep 3 boons dash,attack and special three things that can keep me alive and have a fighting chance
Well that's not a boonless run anymore then lol
Yes but I purge em
Those all count, so you won't get the dialogue or anything.
Because I can only purge three
You can actually just use the Shattered Shackle on an aspect like Rama or Hestia.
That should do it.
Welp time to reset
So I can't just get three boons and then purge em it won't count
It will count if you purge them before the end.
But you might get forced into more boons, so you're usually better off purging anything asap.
You could also get boon purger title instead
Oh yeah that dungeon thing
I did saved my fates thing but
Yeah it didn't work out it just kept giving me boons
Make sure you're not rerolling miniboss doors
Because those will always be boons outside of Styx
just pray styx doesnt give 5 boon tunnels 
It gave me six last time I think
theres only 5

I probably miss counted
That's why I putted in I think
I tried using my change fates thing buuut
Yeah it didn't work out
yea for me neither but u reminded me that i should try again
Welp crap I accidentally bought Hermes boons
The blessing are swift strike 20%
Auto reload and hyper sprint
Idk I can purge em or can't
Ah Frick it
you can purge all hermes boons
I mean it's still okay if you just purge it later.
I'll try again tomorrow
what is Hades Monthly Challenge
you can check it out in the #h1-builds-and-combat pins
Hey is the Skelly companion ever useful?
It’s weak compared to other ones
it could be but you will most probably kill him
Not really. 
happens some times
Rib is nice early on because you can summon him and Shady vs Hades when you can't do that with the others yet.
btw i have the keyhole how do i give him nectar?
i need to win with max aspect of zag?
on sword?
You need to kill Skelly with Lv.5 Zag Sword.
Then just go through some dialogue after that.
i cant get any other dialogue
besides only those where he says one thing
like not important
so how then?
You gotta gift him Ambrosia anyway, not Nectar.
Just gotta do more runs anyway and keep talking to him if you've already killed him at his request.
ye sorry what i meant
i cant give him
welp ye i asked cause it have been 20 runs?
still cant give him
That's like... literally the answer 99% of the time when somebody asks that.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
how i said it have been 20 runs
still cant get dialogue
There's no other requirement.
Maybe you didn't save after doing that, so just kill him again. Won't hurt to try.

but how many spins can skelly take

4 with HL5. 7 with HL0.
Well, he dies after the 4th or 7th.
skelly companion best companion 
i just got it besides it just gets hit by the boss anyhting else?
he does
nope
He's just a tank, pretty much.
Great for Erebus and for dad summons.
Also for Flamewheels and Chariots.
Skelly was really good in high heat back in Early Access when you couldn't unlock the ability to use the other summons vs Hades yet.
He's still not bad, just Meg kinda solves more common issues a lot better and against EM4 he dies too fast.
honestly a lot more than i expected
i thought he would die in 2 HL5 hits
Nope. Also there was a spot where Hades wouldn't really hit him. Don't know if that still works.

hydra instantly deleted lol
the best run i had today
git gud

50 heat go
Do you have that
i played too much hades on the switch and injured my finger 
is that fischl?
do it
be a gamer
do it on zag shield RI3 AP2
CP0 JS0 
Yea it is
👀

better do it fast before I finish building my wall
Are you actively building the wall tho
when my eris run is out of the queue it'll be 2-wide, and I have hestia improvement as the next project
i'll be happy with 3 but we'll see if I can put something together with beo
pretty big jump in grind difficulty after hestia imo
yea beo is something
and I'm just not good with zeus so there's that
tbh even the eris run on its own is plenty good just so that the top5 50-heat aspects are in fact the top5 you expect
finally ahead of arthur
Zag bow maybe? 👀
we'll see lol
it's a double hammer grind that is even worse than rama and without the ability to take dc2 to minimize js/cp
yea
and without the payoff of clockets
unmodded gaming
The hardest thing is going to be not timing out
