oh ok
rush delivery much better
ah yeah its a hermes legendary ^^
alternatively you can do stygian soul with trippy flare but youre extremely reliant on extra cast stones from wells/chaos/fully loaded
yeah i think when you are good with managing your casts, you don't need things like that
yeah
i had no chaos on my run too.. when i say you it was a unlucky run im not lying XD
i did the run in 20min tho
ah and another thing, my beo was only lvl 3
i now upgraded it to lvl 5 cause i will use it again for sure
not my favourit aspect, but yeah, pretty fun for a first try with it
ok so if it's the night of "first time run", now let's go for Guan Yu run (never used it either ^^)
What could i go for?
I will do it in same conditions, TD2, EM3 and FO1
seastorm speen 
spin when the enemies are spawning, or are far enough from you
#h1-discussion message
And Nyaanyaa guide for GY
and don't go in too close, you'll have enough damage with a decent special
chain skewer its that ? "Your Special bounces to up to 7 foes, dealing +30% damage for each." (yeah have to look on the wiki at the same time cause i have my game in french ^^)
yes GY has recovery but still better to avoid getting hit altogether
yeah that's chain skewer
Ah nice will have a look at that
ok
Gy cant get chain iirc
chain pretty bad
Imagine chain achilles 
dash strike 2x -> special
Charged is hold to increase dmg up to 200% and min range reduced
Also gy special has more AoE than it looks lol
if i want a build focused on the special (throwing the spear), what hammer i try to get then?
I thought that chain was good
then I took it
never again
Hold Special to charge your skewer for up to +200% base damage. Minimum range reduced*.
ye
ok thats charged
like bow
Your Special is replaced with a shot that deals 50 damage in an area.
thats exploding
Gy has exploding built in basically
their was a missing word in one of the last dialogue (when you reunite the familly)
but i forgot to screenshot to send it to the support...
:/
but everything else is good. Their is no french voice but i prefer having the english voices, they are so cool
ok i noted for the hammers for Guan Yu, and about the boons? what do you recommend ?
Aphro for safety
Artemis for scaling through Chaos
big attack/special damage from arty/aphro or do merciful end
With aphro can also dip into Smoldering air
or seastorm spin build
yeah was thinking of a merciful end, i love that kind of build :p
i would prefer a build where i can use Privileged Status
I wanna try spin build GY but cant change first hammer in switch lol and lazy to unninstall mods
Guan ME is a thing
ares first
poms good so ares
so you can pom him up
yeah you're right 🙂
i also know i will try to get a lot of centaur too
because 50hp... scary
ares attack, athena special, charged skewer
i will try to get 200 for dad, thats maybe too much i dont know
yeah that would be perfect
can never have too much health in GY
^^
acorn value stonks
why did i write help 
i will tell you something, i never used acorn 😦 i know i should because it seems very good
it's great once you get comf with regular rooms
question about acorn, do the minions the boss spawn impact your 5 "free hits" ? i mean, if a minion hit you do you loose 1 hit on your acorn? or its only if its a boss hit
yeah to what? only if its a boss hit?
do the minions impacts the hits
ok ^^
damn i tought it was only the boss hits, would have been better :p
but yeah i understand its a good keepsake when you are good at dodging and you dont get hit a lot. If you are good enough with that thing its possible to get a 0 damage boss fight i suppose
well even if you get hit a lot, if theyre 5 deleted spins thats 200 dmg
yeah ^^ can save 1 life
U rly hate Elysium
Certified elysium hater
nah asterius is fun
the spear guy is ok
but minotaur is so annoying
and all the enemies have an unreasonable amt of hp
Asterius is a bro
Theseus is a loser
Asterius is pretty aggressive though, so I can understand finding that annoying to deal with
Back from my Guan Yu run ! (same conditions as Beo, TD2, EM3, FO1)
I Finished it in 20min~ so same as beo. I died only once during dad fight :O.
I had 180hp at the end
and guys, i think i never dodged so well
seriously
that run was a nice dodge training
sadly i wasnt very lucky with boons again 😦 i never saw ME
but i got charged skewer and wow, with that thing i was destroying things 😄
So yeah, very cool weapon. The reduced life made me focus on ennemies more than usual and that was very good for my "global skill" i suppose
If i had ME that would have been better but i had other good epics boons so i had decent damages 🙂
Nice job
those 2 first runs with beo and guan yu made me finish the 2 prophecy in the same time ^^ (where you have to go to dad with them)
hehe thanks
Seems you’re progressing very fast
i was very scared to start with 50 life
charged skewer helps a lot even with no ME gladly
so i was very focus on my dodges ^^
yeah
tomorrow i have the bow and the rail to do (i mean the hidden aspects) in the same conditions (never tried them either)
but first i will have to farm a little cause they are not maxed yet
I haven’t unlocked Beowulf yet but I will soon. I really want to play it
yeah its very fun
Rama bow my beloved
I have Rama. It’s cool
i was very bad with it (going back to the casts on the ground was a pain for me xD) but with training it can be insanely strong
Rama seems fun yeah
I want to try Arthur as well but that involves not ignoring the sword
Arthur is cool. Not my fav hiden aspect but still cool
it makes good dmgs but the attack is slow 😦
but the sword and the aura are rly bad ass and just because of that they are fun to play ahah
ok i think i wont do more runs for tonight, its almost 4am here in France ^^. Happy to finish the day with those 2 fun runs tho
Go to sleep 
Yeah that's what i'll do ^^
Have a good day/night guys! see ya tomorrow !
GL for your runs !
Goodnight
ty 😉
the gun is so good
I've been trying to get Curse of Drowning for 3 days now.
Only I've been using Hera bow.
And NOW they tell me I cant get it with Hera.
fine, beowulf will have a chat with you shades.
if i get for expample some keys in a run if i press give up will i keep those keys
No
ok thanks
damn i can't sleep

lol
i remember when i started playing i didnt like the bow
but in fact its very fun and very strong
whats ur fav aspect?
for the bow?
or for all weapons?
with the bow i still didnt try rama but i had some very good runs with chiron bow
and for the rest of the weapons, my fav is gilgamesh fists
insanely strong and fun to play
ok
i need training with it because enemies hits harder when you put the "Maim" effect on them
I called rama the aspect of pulling teeth before I got better at it
lol ^^
i sometimes call rama reverse chiron
honestly most of the time the answer is never 
25% dmg isnt enough for giving your enemies 2.5 lvls of hard labor
but the weapon i like the less, its the rail. Even if i had a crazy fun run this afternoon with a zeus build with Eris rail, i don't know, i don't like having to reload 😦
^^
I love "Delta chamber" hammer on the rail
I didn't like reload until hestia
because you don't have to reload anymore with that 😄
oh just noticed 8 bit drummer played the unseen ones in stream
since you have to reload once every attack instead of some time interval
thats why you get tidal dash so you can still damage while reloading
love it
I was so close
Can you link plz?
He was on his last stage
I had the Demeter n Athena duo
thats probably hard to do but its very powerfull i saw on videos
thanks @mint coral 🙂
I find it much easier than regular rail
since I can just link shooting + reloading as one action, rather than having to check how much ammo I have
ah yeah i see what you mean
not related but i was thinking to something this afternoon
that would have been cool to be able to change the clothes of zag
skins etc..
i mean he has a room, he could have different outfits
damn im the only one who want that? 🙃 😂
Lol many wanted that, just that we've had the cycle of someone asking and people explaining why it would be hard for a few times now
ah ok didn't know it was something already asked many times
but np, was just a detail, don't need that to have fun on the game 🙂
Rama pog
hello, is there a way to guarantee patroclus room to spawn every run? having a hard time activating his quest
You can use maim at 0 heat fine
I think it's for dash boons
If you are doing empty dashes, you avoid a lot more damage
Especially stuff like sea storm tidal
Because the dash boon and jolted/rupture should get boosted
The other t2s like wave/burst should get boosted too
Like if you feel confident at your heat level
I dont think Gilgamesh will make you lose
If you are just having fun or farming darkness at 0 heat, its fine
pretty sure there's not, but don't quote me on that
there isn't. just keep reaching elysium and you'll be fine
ngl idk anything about it but stuborn defiance seems really op
It’s good if your dying to normal rooms
If your dying to bosses death defies are better
i die rarely in normal rooms and in boss fights
so idk
i dont think i will
but evetually
i might try it
Stubborn Defiance is mainly used in high heat with LC4.
30%.
Thanks :)
stubborn is good for beginners and high heats
but death is better overall imo, as you can die multiple times during boss fights
and Patroclus can regen it which is helpful
Whenever I've coached new players on stream who were using SD, they did better after switching to DDs.
Why do the fists even have a daedulus hammer boom to have the dash strike deal 900% damage to armour
It's so overpowered
to make them cool
well its not even as strong as stuff like double edge, twin shot, charged shot etc so its fine
I guess so
such a huge nerf 
Hi, everybody. :0
Does anyone know, if Apollo will be added (or has been added) as character you can speak with?
He’s not gonna be added because the game is done getting updates as far as we know
In line with talos's GAME CHANGING BUFF from 40% to 50%

there is no difference between stubborn defiance or death defiance if you never die in the first place 
Real gamer
well it went from 4th highest castspect damage to tied for 3rd so thats a pretty huge improvement 

Idk about tied for third 
- Achilles 150%
- Eris 75%
- Poseidon, Talos 50%

poseidon is always on though 
the numbers dont lie 
poseidon sword continues to take w's
If it’s just numbers then I guess yea
clearly talos is a better castspect than hera and beo since it has a bigger number 
I think they did a great job with Talos. It's one of the most fun aspects in the game.
the range on the special always surprises me
I’ve never used Talos 
i wish it had a bigger AOE though, it's annoying to have to tag multiple enemies one at a time
This emote should be banned
Is a gif 
It’s perfect
What is the most efficient way to get nectar?
Start Dio keepsake and roll twice for Premium vintage 
trade gems/keys at the lounge ig
Ok
But that would cost 50 gems for 1 nectar
And that would mean I need to get to Asphodel then die so it can be a speed nectar Run
Facts
Easiest way is to just play
Yeah, I used stubborn while trying to get through asphodel initially but by elysium I realized DD was the move
Oh yes, definitely
Checked the hades subreddit and someone’s seriously using ap2 at 32 heat 
maybe hestia gaming
Now that's gaming
So, like, why is Zagreus as trans a surprisingly popular headcanon? Because as someone who's nb, I... don't see it personally 🤔
Most of the Greek pantheon knows no romance limits, yeah.
Zeus... has no standards.
isnt that the definition of pan
i got to the epilogue
was pretty disappointing that there wasn't a final boss but it was a nice ending
I was shocked when there was no Hades fight that run.
tbh i thought they'd drop the three-phase one from the pact of punishment on me
Well if you need a harder challenge there is a pretty easy way to do that 

hi all o/
\o
I love demeter fists it’s so fun
Hi
This game has such extremely specific quotes, even to the point of Zagreus declaring payback for killing whatever killed you last run.
Im done, 32 heat is too much for me
Fair enough.
if you still need bounty loot, try removing all heat and speeding your way to the styx shop.
As someone who is transmasc, I personally see where that headcanon is coming from. Smol dude is the biggest part, but there's also other vibes that I can't put into words rn lol
Also, I have accidentally unleashed my inner Hermes/Zagreus by drinking coffee and I am speed
Im trying to unlock Skelly s third prize
Ah.
that's gonna be harsh.
max out whatever aspect your using can help.
but you sure took a brutal goal.
see ya in high heat thread in a week or two 
What’s Dionysus and aphrodites favor
Aphro is have relationships (Al 3 or 2 I forget check wiki) and dio is give a bunch of people ambrosia I think it’s around 10 total
Oh and Hermes
Talk to him with maxed plume
I prefer meg, but yeah, that happens
ahah yeah same, well i think i will have sex with both
after a few bottle of Ambrosia, everything is possible 🙃
That's strange i still didnt have the dialogue to reunite Achilles and Patro, ive max relationship with both (next is a locked heart) and also with Nyx. I ve probably some quest dialogues still going on i suppose
Hmm
Orphe and Eurydice are reunited already
I just got their companion today. Did you have the option to go to the administrative chamber yet and get the sentence for 5 diamonds?

what’s zeus’s favor btw
Zeus' favor involves hearing the other Gods' opinions of him, as well as seeing Zeus express a desire to reconnect with Hades, along with Hades' response.
^ Found on wiki
Pat didn’t say anything about risking it all yet?
nope, thats the sentence im waiting :p
Yeah you just gotta wait
you can multiple quests at once i think
yeah it will come soon or later
rngjesus just doesn’t feel like it today
yeah things always come after some runs anyway
need to finish nyx/chaos and sisyphus then i think i’d have a majority of them
same i have to do nyx/chaos but damn its expensive
It's not hell, just the underworld!
yeah true ^^
need to grind some gems for sisyphus
orpheus and eurydice are by far my favorite i love those two sm
Here's a fun fact
also soon i’d have maxed out the mirror (just need to finish rated persuasion)
There is a famous opera called orpheus in the underworld
And it's about those twos story
It's also where the can can dance was made
#dailyfacts
^^
You should’ve maxed out persuasion over authority but it’s fine
Authority is my last one
yeah i probably should’ve ¯_(ツ)_/¯
You could swap them by resetting the mirror but it’s up to you
too much work lmao
How many rolls do you have
If you’re really close to maxing it out it wouldn’t be worth it anyway I guess
It’s only one key
🤷♀️
@proud pilot remember to keep it clean. 
😂
3
You’re fine then since you need one more
GODDAMMIT I WAS SO CLOSE TO BEATING HADES
I love having a basically full build before leaving Tartarus
@slim geyser i think it does
seen haelian "fish for luck" sometimes even if FO's decently high
good
i got to get those fish
Imagine not having build leaving Elysium
Like me while ago
I keep trying to get Ice Wine and Scintillating Feast at the same time and I can't do it
Lucked out and got both Zeus and Demeter in Tartarus, got Ice Wine pretty early, then used a single roll every time I came across either Zeus or Dio, and it NEVER CAME UP
Ughhhh I had such a cool build and he was about to die but he still got me 😞
Smouldering air/vengeful mood/merciful end demeter fists
oh damn
f
TD is the timer btw.
FO makes enemies faster.
I've probably made the same mistake before.
that was quick
unless by true ending you mean something that happened after credits
lol
im not there yet in that case
wait do orpheus and eurydice still sing good riddance after in the blood
has anybody had the problem where your cursor is gonezo
its acting like its still there but its invisible
Any random build ideas? Kind of just want to try something new
@polar quail Its fine i just had the sentence i was waiting for, i will be able to reunite Achilles and Petro soon :). And after that, Meg was waiting me in my room... so.. yeah, zag is having fun these days xD
Have you tried the Monthly Challenge yet?
wuzzat
It's pinned in #h1-builds-and-combat.
And i finaly managed to get 3k darkness to reunite Nyx/Chaos \o/. That was a grind ! ^^
I did a crystal beam run not too long ago so maybe not just yet
What a shame it's not 8888 Darkness for that anymore. 
You can also check out the challenges from previous months.
oh geez 3000 already put a dent in my builds by denying Fated Persuasion for a hot moment
so 8888 would have just wrecked me
^^
But it was nice to get all that Darkness reimbursed when they reduced the cost.
oh they did that? that's cool
now i need 4k for the last level of Fated Persuasion ^^
Yup!
oh actually an aphro call build sounds fun
Seduce your Dad™️
not sure what aspect i'd use for it tho
i just did a gilga run with a build focused on special (took poseidon special)
was fun and strong
If you want to do the challenge, you'll have to use Zeus Aspect.
yeah that's what I had in mind anyways, many consecutive hits =
CALL
or just get smair
but @high island a lot of the monthly challenges aren't pinned
The linked spreadsheet has all of them.
EM2 isn't giving me much of a challenge. I've heard EM4 is absolute hell, but how's EM3?
em3's more difficult but it mainly comes from forced overtime. same as em4 which isnt that difficult without fo
Best to just try it for yourself.
lowkey not finding forced overtime that bad
itll prob be worse when bosses come around
just for the fight i thought em3 wasnt all bad
theseus spams his spear throw a lot less
but idk how it interacts with other pacts
do you have FO2 on
or just 1
hi
1
fo1 is manageable
fo2 sucks
wringers attack so fast with fo2 on and i keep walking into them
I mean...
don't just walk into em like that
not all of FO2 is reactable for everyone, just have to be aware of what enemies can do before they do it
just dont get hit
lol you think i dont know that
anyway yeah, a good tip for any player is to just learn how to dodge
(i have yet to learn this)
yeah its a lot of predicting attack patterns
got a new record time earlier
forced overtime 2 is hilarious when chariots/bull man comes charging at you at mach 3 speeds
speeder chariots 
also, when dusa gave me her keepsake, why didn't it destroy all my magic and trap cards? 
ive had this in my head for a bit, but why is achillies and pats keepsake just.. an ant
skellys is a skull
dusa is a snake
meg is a bat
but its just. an ant? is there a reason?
I guess they like ants
theres some pun or something having to do with the myrmidons
oh wait
okay yeah
What aspects are fun to speed run with
mort is a mouse right
Yes
eris, beo, hera, achilles, demeter, or nemesis ig for each weapon
Demeter is fun
whats the reasoning here
I have my fastest run with Demeter
or if you're big funny like me, I've been grinding zag shield for the past few days lmao
once I get my first sub 10 on zag shield, I'll probably try beo
I really want to try Beowulf but I haven’t unlocked it yet
beowulf is basically
beowulf fun
"how much do you like nukes?"
once i can play again (i have so much to do tomorrow so no time sadly) i want to try and get sub 15
my fastest was 17 mins with eris and that wasnt meant to be a speedrun
my first sub 15 was when I was messing with zag shield like 4 or 5 days ago and ended up with like seastorm, double strike, and zeus legendary
and I was like "welp guess this is gonna go fast now"
Nice
ive only beaten the game 11 times but i dont think the times are terrible
think the latest is 26 mins
seastorm is cool but most of the damage comes from jolted tbh https://imgur.com/Gwa6dBM
I’ve beaten 18 times, you’re definitely faster than me on that 17 minute try
tbf i had a *lot *of runs before i started winning
It costs HOW much
would be nice if higher heat gave more darkness 
it costs like 350000 total darkness
- why
2. why
also, I starting fishing for charged shot builds instead after learning about them after a while https://youtu.be/kgxkA4Gaz54
That’s kinda sick
I guess I’ll speed run with Hera now next
325,000 darkness actually
a little better 
so id want to buff up jolted and get all the Zeus boon things (double strike, ect)
Don’t think I’ve had a run without either Zeus or Aphrodite
*winning
Wonder what it’s like without them
ive had some great ares ones
hunting blades and me specifcally
had a weird ares/demeter combo which was pretty fun
well if youre doing a zeus focused build
Is hunting blades Artemis/ares duo? I’ve never gotten it
yeah
need to get ares legend, demeter legend, infernal soul hermes legend, and a couple more legends for that prophecy i think
whats the best way to get titan blood ive already killed a fury with all weapons
charon end shop
upgrading heat levels
ok
I haven’t completed that one either but I don’t really need the gems
thanks
mostly want it for dusa favor tbh
Only decorations are left at this point
and also the house is pretty bare
Oh. I have her companion already
need hers and thans
Sisyphus i should get soon, i have skelly, achillies, and meg
The ones I want to finish eventually are mirror prophecy and duo prophecy, and the prerequisite for a future quest. Other than that I mostly don’t need the rewards even if I finish them
also while i absolutely miss persephones greece garden i do love the one in the house
Oh and maybe Charon twice consecutively, if that wasn’t hard to do. I can get the blood an easier way than that. It should be 10 or 15 titan blood instead of just 5.
Lame reward
I’m not going to go for it intentionally
It used to in early early access iirc
I have all of them except Skelly because I don’t want to max the Zagreus sword for a companion I’m not even going to use
I’m not going to use the zag sword anyway so it’s not worth it unless I begin to run out of stuff to max out
I think skelly might have been the first one I got just because it was so easy
if you plan to get everything fully upgraded in the end, I mean, why not
I’ll probably do it eventually
i got skellys because i got a bunch of titan blood for the "beat dad with all weapons" thing
mostly did it for the diamonds and to max my bond with him
at this point in the game I have all the story quests that use diamonds done and all the ones that affect in game runs from the contractor, so all I have to use them on is music.
so i’ve seen speedrunners pause the game to make room decisions and such, is that a good strategy? want to minimize my igt (that’s the acronym for in game time right)
of course it is
im using pause every time even tho im not speedrunning the game
its just a way to not "loose" time when thinking the door you'll go etc

saw that! thanks though
do i need to have all keepsakes before unlocking cthonic companions
i dont believe so
oh
just need to give enough nectar to the character you want the companion of, and then fulfill a requirement to unlock the next heart, then gift them ambrosia. sometimes that may take a while
ahhh ok
i have like 11 ambrosia
and i SHOULD get my last keepsake next run
just need persephone
and im one escape from credits
does twin shot give you two shared sufferings for rama
Effectively yeah
Shared suffering is a multiplicative increase, twin shot is also effectively multiplicative
I got sub10 and 32 heat separately on L1 Beo so yes it's quite decent 
awesome I'll try it out
oh yeah so here's an interesting question
if you had to rate a fresh file run in terms of heat level, what heat level would you guys say is it equivalent to?
50-55
Depends if you’re good at sword
I’ve done 54 but haven’t got past Asterius miniboss in FF
no mirror, locked to sword with no titan blood investment, very limited god pool and no hammers
I think it's most commonly compared to 50
And sword kinda sucks so there’s that too ig
But it's hard to compare the two
Fresh File is just a whole bunch of new stuff that you have to relearn and adjust to
yeah FF is like 50+ heat
You can beat it with scuffed builds (not ME) and very clean fights given enough practice
thing is, with how limited the god pool is, you're basically really praying for that ME lol
Yep
Yea
The other only build is drunken strike calc risk
Hunting blades is awful
1 cast no bonus damage
🙏🙏🙏
chaos really doesn't like me
I keep getting every option except one to increase casts
Rarity and more coins are ok if you get them early on
Hmm thats a tough one tbh
They're both really different things that you have to learn for a very long time to master
beowulf is just hera but thiccer
And broken
The door shield
the last hidden aspects I have to unlock are lucifer and arthur
Beo with charged shot is thicc Hera.
or dying at hades because you didn't have enough time to fight him before tight deadline runs out
i got a couple of extra casts
why does the game always give me a 3 sack on my good runs
all of my casts are gonna run out 
Hello, I have a problem
Does anyone know how to fix this?
fix what
I can´t to send a photo
link it
ask in #h1-tech-support you can post images in there
either post it in a personal server or imgur and link it
Basically, I'm stuck on where the sources come out and one of them is missing that allows me to change levels
Okey thx
my attempts really aren't going well, I keep timing out to tight deadline or barely making it 
youre doing 20 right?
Nope, I'm practicing to get faster clear times
Have you watched speedrunning basics
So I'm doing lower heat with f02, em2, td2
whats your aspect and build?
real time or igt?
Hera, i grabbed divine flourish since I didnt want to reroll a second time. I have crush shot and demeter's aid
tight deadline is igt
in game time
i almost won during one of my attempts but I got 4 sacked and timed out when I only had 1:35 left to beat hades
so I have no idea how fast that run was
styx luck sucks
ig for hera mostly after aphro cast you want snow burst, quickreload or rushdelivery from hermes, chaos cast/cast damage, and make sure to check wells for braids/Prometheus stones
you also want a lot of poms to hit your cast
so id try avoiding pommable boons that dont help a lot like specials
also in case youre not, remember to keep track of how many casts it takes to kill certain enemies so you dont waste shots
Lol i had a weird bug in my last run. You know in Elysium the mobs who can respawn if you dont kill the little "armored head" (sorry have no clue of the names ^^). One mob respawned inside one of pilone lol. Took me 20sec to finaly kill him cause the hitbox to hit him was very, very small ^^
oh strange
also, off-topic, got bored and made this
https://perchance.org/hadesbuild
does anyone have any suggestions on other things to add? (feel free to use it too if you feel like it)
i just got the dusa companion
should i spend all my ambrosia upgrading it or will i need that to give to her more
mirror conditions 😄
do you mean like,, conditions you have to choose on the mirror (like if you have the purple side of it you have to switch to green side)
ye
bet
obviously make sure they don't conflict with pact condition: routine inspection
like if routine inspection 1 is active, telling the player to choose fated authority is kinda pointless
not sure how i'd do that, but i can try
will be funny having people forced into only having 1 dash
fated keys tho
tru
want to add like a theme or condition segment, like the mothers day monthly challenge one
does pact generate multiple settings?
also add ||companions|| & i don’t get what’s going on with mirror
companions were added, let me fix it
mirror basically generates one you have to choose (like if you get death and you have stubborn you should switch)
pact doesnt but i could
pretty cool
tbh i think instead of keepsakes, having a duo/legendary chosen or a god pool is more interesting
given the nature of rng sakes it would have to be one or other
keepsakes arent really a main feature of a build unless its like plume. especially if youre just switching them around every region
yeah a specific duo is pretty much the equivalent of asking for two gods to be in your pool
either way ya i thin some sort of god focus would be nice
idk what it would lok like tho
hmm i could try
i could try and add the gods as options and then have the output choose two for a god pool kind of thing
thanks!
theres many directions u can take it
the game stores a lot of information about runs from the seeds so maybe that could be helpful
logically a god centered mechanic would make more sense, seeing as its a build generator
oh?
yeah
the only way to guarantee a god is through keepsakes or seeding a run
first combo I got is overflowing cup, thunder signet, pom blossom. Routine inspection 1. Aspect of hestia
companion battie
flat damage for hestia, excellent
so trying to do rng selection either means one stage is just a godsake or you have to know the run beofre generating the conditions
oh and conch shell for elysium
Forgot that.
I might try this
yep I'm doing this after I can finish my hera speedrun attempt
Are you guaranteed a hammer in tartarus?
no. buts its highly likely
okay so im going to change up the generator to focus on teo gods in the pool (basically keepsake dependent)
demeter and aphro trial room 
ah yes, my favorite god pool

lol
need to fix that
Zeus after cloning himself
that might just happen for a bit cause i cant seem to get rid of it
fixed i believe
no more zeus cloning
anything else i should add?
died to a normal elysium enemy 
f
I'm going to go ahead and try that hestia run now, and then go back to my hera bow speedrun after
oh nice
i cant play right now and its very annoying because i want to try out the generator
what am I supposed to do for the nyx quest, i went in the administrative chamber but it's not giving me anything
She needs to say something about the eldest sigil
then it would be added to the work orders
oh
she did
But I don't see it, where is it
I'll check after this run to see if I overlooked it
I never used the pom blossom before so I'm interested in seeing if it''ll make any difference in styx
i like blossom
I usually just equip the acorn for thesus/asterius and hades
But I'm trying out this generator run to try something new
its usually not very useful once youre at styx. like even though youll get a lot of random poms since the mini tunnels count, you have a lot of random boons by then and already have poms on what matters
If you have multiple Pom targets it can be useful
But I'll equip it once to try it out
usually i use it in asphodel if i already have an okay build and just want the extra levels
You can start with it and see what the first boon you get is, if it's a good cast, you can give up and switch to Beo/Hera/Achilles/Poseidon, and try not to take other pommable boons in Tart
tada free pom levels
Or hangover
Or icy flare 😁
oh wait I can totally try out ice wine with this build
whats the build rn?
trippy shot/frost flourish/demeter call/drunken strike aspect of hestia
I also have a boon from zeus, clouded judgement I think
ooh
just realized theres an achievement where i have to purge a legendary boon
this will hurt
Heading to elysium, following the generator I now have to use the conch shell instead of the acorn 
and pom blossom in styx 
i usually just theorycraft wacky builds if i wanna do random fun runs lol
interesting
it's not that bad. i hope I can replenish a dd though. I'm just used to using the acorn.
I might just not try out the pom blossom in styx.
Oh are you doing random everything?
yeah. random keepsakes and a random pact
yeah i made a generator today
i used lex's new generator
Oh that's you?
oh cool
come play with meeee
same here
yeah the person who started it got busy with life, I got tired of waiting and wrote my own randomizer, then they dropped it entirely so I took over
tbh the last few are all pretty sloggy
Week 2 has RI4 chaos shield 
I’ve not done them since the first one but I’m glad there’s 32 heat ones now
once i try and get a sub 15 on saturday ill do a totally randomized run
dice roll style
so 12 mirror of night talents are blocked out with RI4? 
yep
goodbye mirror
only like. all of them

dyno’d
there was a DC2 Hestia week if you're into that kind of jazz
I really wish I had privileged status on rn
problem with randomizers is you kinda just end up with a crappy build and addin cursed pacts and its kinda 
Yeah like just cursed pact or cursed build is fine, combined is some other kind of 
like sometimes youd rather just do shackle strats 
Yup
this one worked out fine though.
drunken strike hestia 
maybe I could've taken lightning strike but ehh
Did tempest strike Hestia the other day
at least its not tempest strike
Actually pretty useful in keeping enemies inside the special range
I somehow had a feeling Deadly Flourish + Hazard bomb did most of the work 
Am i the only one who feels like athena buffs are overpowered
hey, I killed thesus and asterius off pretty quickly just now.. it might not be the best option but I didn't even die once against them by poisoning and chilling them. 
Finished the run, that was my best dad fight ever
took the least damage i ever did
clearly drunken strike hestia is actually op 
at low heat
back to hera bow speedrunning
hey @polar quail o/
hello!
Got some good runs today?
oh, can you give me the link plz? will have a look
thanks!
what are these icons i see on streams sometimes? obviously the bond forged but what are they for in the corner
it is the speedrunning modpack for the modded subcategories on the speedrun.com leaderboards
the keepsake bond icons are basically a hash representing which settings are being used, and only a specific set of them are legal for submissions
ah onay
what weapon/ aspect should i use to kill hades i keep getting him very low and dyeing
what 1 u like
Completed another run!!
ez
if you dont have blood, regular rail works fine. knowing how to build matters more than what aspect youre using
I'll probably try 20 heat soon after a few more low heat speedrun attempts for practice
16 heat wasn't too hard
i'm getting comfortable with td2
so i'll be ready to take td3 at 32 heat
i want to try out some higher heats soon as well
how many rooms till they find the satyr sack in styx i think
yeah
whats skellys first prize
awesome
i mean like heat levels
16
first prize is 8 heat
danggg
oh god thisll be fun
i want to eventually get all the bounties (up to 20 on all weapons) too
i would have two prizes already if the game actually counted me doing 8 and 16 without doing lower heat bounties, but I'm almost at 8 with the bow now so it's fine
at least I didn't do 32 heat yet. imagine getting no prize
did you try interacting with the statues?
i don't think I have the statues
well i dont think i had to do the heats 1 by 1 to unlock the statues
8 heat unlocks the statue
then 16 heat...
idk what makes them appear tho
they just show up

didn't expect to finish 20 runs
is that it?
ik it's not a lot but I haven't had the game that long
Question - if I take a god keepsake, but then I choose not to go to that god's room, will I continue to be offered boons from that god until I take one?
That's what i heard
yes
now im curious tho how long 20 clears takes ppl
i've been playing since december 27th so...I guess a month and a few days? 
twin fists are still dope though
demeter fists master race
u sooo can
get er done
get that sub 15
does spamming fist special make anyone else's game go slow motion?
does hades count as his own area or part of styx
meanwhile i'll keep tying to get sub 20 
part of styx
part of styx
oh god so i do not have a lot of time to kill him
if they gave you separate time for hades sacks wouldn't be as much of an issue 
good luck!
i haven't bested theseus yet so i don't know about sack pain yet
well i guess i do know, but not the timer part
9 total
hmmmmm
Just did my first Lucifer run. Well, that was hard lol. I didnt get as lucky as my beo run but i managed to get a "correct" build. Im just not sure how the aspect works in fact. In fact, i can say that i've been lucky because i won dad with 10hp and no DD left 😂
Td3 is just practice
And knowing to prioritize free rooms
if you do higher then 8 does skelly still give you his prize
yeah i suppose
or is it exactly 8
alr
8/16/32 but if u do 32 you get all 3
Chad move
so 9 gives you the 8 prize
yes
haha bet
Em2 will speed you up too
ooh
td3 doesnt sound terrible if i can get through Elysium and Styx fast enough
dad scary
ah
bouldy moment
well i love this game
i play for like 30 hours and learn he has a second phase
hmmm
we all remember the first time we see that ahah
well atleast now i have a third death defiance
ayy
damn ok i just watched a lucifer run on YT and i now understand why i rly had a hard time with it, its because i wasnt using the bombs effectively
i had a pretty good build in fact but thats useless if you dont know how to play your weapon
now ive understood the strat
whats lucifers thing again
rail has never been my fav weapon but now at least i understand how to play that aspect
its hiden aspect of rail
laser beam
anyway, there's nothing better than my good old gilga fists 😄
ramps up dmg and special is higher dmg works like deployable bombs
can put 3 at the time and explode upon damaging them
ah
it worked. I didn't realize the trophies were behind the coverings
which one did u unlock?
did you like your reward
8 and 16
nice
😂
bruh skelly should make a statue of me
i still didnt see the 16 dont spoil me :p
hehe GL
"32 is spicy any heat" some players in the speedrunning server
how did u set the pact for your 16 heat?
oh i didnt know their was a speedrun server
will have to join it
linked in self promotion pinned msgs
thanks 🙂
I know next to 0 speedrun strategies besides "me go unga bunga" and "dont pick rooms that have scary ghosts in them"
im worried about td3 dad, any tips on killing him faster
do more dmg 
just gotta learn how to set up builds/practice
CF1 HL1 UC EM2 TD2 MM LC1 and F01
sub 20 doesnt require good sack luck but helps ofc
aiming for sub 15
ok 🙂 will probably do something similar i think
that was my 16 heat
i think i can do EM3 so i'll have to look what i can remove
yeah I hadn't really tried em3 yet
em3 is fun
its not a big difference, im sure you can do it without problem
im scared of EM4 tho
lol
I'll try it next run
em3 is hilarious and em4 scares me
exactly lol

theseus just has a gun. why? no clue, he just does
dont forget the mask
and more or less a tank
my next run I'll use aspect of beowulf
flood flare
beowulf OP
ooh
