I can totally control hera flurry shot don't look at all those missed casts
Yea it's sarcasm because it's the exact opposite 
Idk, compare it to zeus aspect, you're zoomin
The room clears slower but at least you feel faster 
i never feel fast with zeus shield lmao
Zeus shield hard to work with
You can do good damage and clear rooms reasonably well but you'll always feel like you're wasting movement and doing something wrong
I've got some pretty good ME setups with this before, I think it's good
But very much yes
im not gonna say its bad 
The pain when your shield is all the way on the other side of the room and takes ages to come back 
is the weapon used for 64 heat route for a reason
also MEus is the only way i tolerate ME lmao
It's surely not bad, it's also very speedy if you play it well enough but it's too much skill for me 
Good heat tolerance and gets ME going really easily
Doesnt need dash and doesnt care as much about rarity if you go Doom on Special
:croven:
this is how i play kbm hera
I even thought I was getting good at it
But then I watch someone with controller and it's literally effortless
You can't get good at kbm hera 
Autoaim is a godsend lmao
I only wish I had aim at mouse when I play achilles
Even better movement
Yeah Achilles auto-aim is atrocious
Which god would provide the highest DPS in the case of an autoattack build with as much attack speed?
zeus p much
Ive just gotten 3 chaos fishing spots back to back, how likely is that?
Likely enough to happen 
is aspect of gilgamesh good
it seems super strong but nobody seems to be talking about it
always demeter or zag fists
It's not very good.
Fists are just not very good at least not for speedrunning purposes
Gilga is fun tho
Gilga is fun but it doesnt help me being already stupidly agressive
Gil is fun if you unbind attack and special
Just don't get hit
Rip
every time I open this server 
LMAO
poor croven
Croven gets bullied for this everyday 
as he should be

how do unlock the reroll
Last mirror talent
I DIR IT. I BEAT A RUN WITH NO GOD BOONS
Nice!
His throne is also made of stone
And then you see all those comfy chairs sitting around the House that Zag always ignores 
I want to get dad a comfier chair
He must like it or something idk
Also imagine if the house work allowed you to work in hades's chambers
Imagine, if Hades already has something to say about basically every renovation you do, now what if you could change his actual room? 
Although I'm surprised at how little he cared when I changed the throne he was sitting on
I wonder if he'll ever run out of capes
Maxed zagreus aspect with lambent plume is one of the most common entry level speedrun strats for people good with fists
Deleterious and zag fists have specific builds people go for to max their potential. Hidden fists have a cool doom effect as the gimmick, which works great stacked with other damage effects
That makes them versatile, but perhaps not as powerful as a fully stacked demeter special
idk if lambent plume is a speedrun strat
And speed kills with zag aspect will ramp you up to like 20% evasion once you hit final boss
At high heats there's nowhere to didgeridoo too
LOL
Dodge
Certain chaos curses as well
i think i know about high heat fists
There are better fist builds for high heat for sure
I prefer spear and bow after like 20 heat tho
anyways we're talking about speedrunning which plume doesnt exactly speed up
the entry fists speedrunning build is merciful end, you dont need to dodge if you just have enough dps is is what low heat speedrunning is about
The only fists I can speedrun with are maxed zag
Plume only helps evasion, which keeps you alive and let's you oraoraora bosses to death with less damage to the face
Nothing like killing dad mid mega death ray while it keeps missing you
ill restate my point before which was that high dps is enough to easily keep you alive in low heat. you dont need plume
ill presume you havent tried merciful end fists
if you only have one boon from a god and you sell it, does it remove the god from your 'pool'?
lemme* grab a vid
Hm
nope
Does anything remove a god from your pool?
ok thought so tyt
Only thing I can think of is if you maxed the pool out, equipped a god trinket, then unequipped it
That might do it

How on earth did this one make it...
Literally takes the WR back by centiseconds, since Bright nicked it off my hands between this video and the last. But achieving this only makes me want to grind ...
no
Nice
Lambent plume in speedruns is purely used to unlock rush delivery and bad news
And if you get rush delivery, you may choose to keep it on for extra movespeed
Not at all for the dodge
Zag Fists + Lambent Plume and stacking dodge chance is a very good build, though.
Not a speedrun build, but good for clearing.
Dying does. 
You should just get a stupidly op build, not focus on defense
Not for low heats anyways
Plume doesn’t do much in terms of dps, but having a merciful end as ananas stated is some fat dps
Meaning faster boss kills, faster room@clears and faster progress overall
.. failed to get merciful edge twice in row but im prob messing up the rng somehow
Are you fulfilling the requirements?
yeah just not optimising probablities i guess
What are you talking about
It can make a difference to try to fill in the attack, cast, special and dash boon slots, and opening up more duos than necessary isn't ideal, but there isn't all that much you can do to optimize the RNG, really
You just need to wait until you get lucky enough
Do you have the mirror talent that improves Legendary and Duo chance on?
Not opening other Duo Boons is gonna be the most important factor.
Gameplay wise or lore wise
Probably just a little neat spot to flesh out the lore
Im pretty sure death isn’t the only way back home
idk what they coulda done with it infairness, maybe something to make more custom runs?
And I’d like to think that hades doesn’t just stab himself with gigaros or bloodstone himself to get back home every time zag perishes against him
Oh, that too
Maybe an actual garden
like you grow a fruit and it modifies the artictecture to idk, make it so only aphrodite boons are found
Yeah
I play a game called soul knight a little bit
Plants in that game give you buffs
its not a large complaint, it just feels a bit random to open up a new area but give it not a single feature
Or flat out award you cash
I'd also like an endless mode too
I think it really is just to explain that hades doesn’t off himself to get home every time zag dies to him
but thats just me
I think your forgetting hades has to also get to greece every time zagerus leave, hades can like teleport up and down
its his realm which he is the god of after all
and we know persphone just took the river styx to just get back in
Yeah, or he just walks up there and waits every time he hears reports of zag arriving at Styx
Remember that zag, even having to fight, can blast through all 4 zones in a matter of minutes
Hades can probably take a leisurely stroll to arrive there
Or maybe directly take a service exit to Styx and then go on from@there
probably just gets charon to give him a ride lol
the money bag we find and charon gets pissy about is actually hade's payment
I still don’t get how the same person voiced both zag and “schlemus”
sadly for hades normally if we steal that payment hades wasted the trip lol
“That was my monthly pay”
And then he beats you up with an oar that somehow never breaks
I like the theory skely is Odysseus
sorry language...
The only greek hero is theasus and hes kinda a silly goose
so having odysseus (also known as "no name" which skelly goes by at some point) is pretty fun
Yeah it’s pretty good
Also makes sense why charon hired him kinda
odysseus is related to hermes
and hermes and charon are friends
Also we’re ignoring Achilles and Heracles (he’s mentioned by zag in elysium’s first play through)
I forgot about achilles straight up
you right
my b
achilles is 100% just straight up a greek hero who isnt a pleb lol
Our favorite myrmidon soldier
also patroclus is technically a greek hero too
He’s relatively unknown
According to Greek myths (I think) he donned Achilles’ Armor and murdered a bunch of great men
But he allegedly never got the credit
Obviously that’s fiction but in that world, Patroclus was a forgotten hero
you...you heard of the illiad?
I sometimes think that sgg mixed up Achilles and Patroclus’ titles
Apparently in the “world” of the illiad he was forgotten and mistaken as Achilles
Not sure though
Could just be my own memory being bad
Anyways, Achilles is probably still known and revered and/feared by mortals
Pat however is probably far less known
He decided to fight in achilles name because achilles wouldnt fight
After Patroclus died in a battle achilles could've fought (and won) achilles went into a fit on rage destroying an army, but died being shot in his heel by paris.
Not necessarily the heel, that’s only 1 version
One version was that he was so stricken with grief that he allowed the arrow to hit him
It's always the heel
achilles is immortal execept in the heel
Another was that during another rampage, Apollo (being a something I won’t say), guides Paris
Lemme do some research
because he was dipped ini the river of the styx making him immortal but because his mother was holding him by the ankle the river didn't touch him their.
Apparently, he was only blessed
Yeah apollo guided the arrow but paris shot it
As with all Greek myths, there are a huge amount different stories
The invincibility thing didn’t appear until after the illiad I think
Achilles wasn’t even mentioned to perish in the original illiad
Only by other retellings
hm obviously theirs multiple tellings of the same story
In some@stories, Achilles was basically zag but even more slippery
Basically a blitz of attacks from everywhere
but i think in the majority of versions its safe to say achilles was an immortal/demigod and its more culturely known that achilles had a weak spot in his heel (one of the most present day metaphors is literally "achilles heel")
He was certainly a demigod, and excelled at fighting
Said idiom came from a later version apparently
Some unfinished poem
But in the original illiad it never mentioned him being Styx-dipped or anything
If that’s what happened, zag would just be immortal every time he died
Or more like the first time@he died
Only an explosion could kill him
I think it’s just that Achilles was basically zag: all offense and barely any defense
Still I think its now an important character trait of achilles
either way I don't think patroclus is a unheard of hero either. He's a supprotive character in the illiad
he isn't hercules, achilles of theasus sure
I know, but in the world where the illiad happens, he’s unknown of because he wore Achilles’ armor into battle, not his own
In this world, he’s known pretty well
But in that world, and the world of hades by extension, they wouldn’t have known it was Patroclus under that armor
ohhhhhh ok i get this now
sorry i thought we were talking about real world fame
not in canon fame
Yeah I was wondering why we all of a sudden started talking about achilles lore
But yeah, my point is that Achilles would be the “fallen warrior” and pat would be the “forgotten hero”
Im wondering if sgg mixed them up
There’s no way that basically turning the tide of a war will ever be forgotten
I mean, patroclus was pretty forgotten in game
he was the only character zagereus didnt recognise if im not mistaken (other than skelly)
he recognises theasus for example
Im guessing we should move to #h1-story-discussion
ehh tbh im probably gonna go now anyways lol
Aight cya
Greg Kasavin especially is very well versed in Greek mythology. He wouldn't make a mistake like that.
Fair, but I don’t see how Achilles’ title makes any sense
He single-handedly slaughtered like thousands of people and turned the tide of a war
yeah i just want to say add to this
This game is definitely made proper, it gets very few things wrong (mainly demeter is no longer hade's sister making persphone no longer his niece so zagereus doesnt have an aunt grandma and mum cousin...(so yes the change was on purpose))
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Maybe you're supposed to wonder why or how he's possibly been forgotten.
Makes no sense to me either, he's Brad Pitt after all.
I think that’s fine because it’s probably a way to weed out@incest
But tbf Persephone is@still hades’ niece
yeah as i said lol
So
Persephone also isnt zeus's child in this version
Oh yeah
Damn I forgor
Sgg really did go hard on the “no incest” rule
I guess it had to be 13+
ahem, thank god
have you seen who voice acted
?
oh
yeah
Flame wheels sound like cats
it wasnt someones dog
it was 4 peoples dogs
Why do flame wheels sound like cats
Cause they are small chariots
“Mrowr” initiates a suicide charge
Yes, cats do that a lot
Awwww cute Flame Wheels, what can possibly go wrong?
#HadesGame #HadesFanArt #hadesfanart #theseus https://t.co/KFAwDwSewp
Minecraft ghasts were also voiced by a lead devs (jebs) cat
and once you learn that fact you will now never unhear it
Oh yeah I do remember that
do I need to have exagryph equipped for Zeus to tell me what I need for the hidden aspect?
Hidden aspect requirements are pinned in #h1-story-discussion.
Is the aspect of lucifer better than eris? I just unlocked it
Maybe for high heat runs? Plume doesn't speed you up much. Any heat speedruns needs room clear/boss kill speed more than anything else, it's damage >>>>> survival
It's definitely not meta for speedruns
As others have said, plume unlocks rush delivery from hermes which is great
And for high heat if you do a plume run you'll probably end up timing out
Ye idk I don't play high heat but I could at least understand dodge chance meaning smth there lol
They have some differences although you build them the same somewhat, Eris is superior due to having a massive damage buff, also access to clockets
Lucifer has Triple Bomb which is nice but it cant do nearly as much damage
Luci is a lot of fun tho
It is
If you want to vary runs a little so you don't run the same aspect 30 times luci is a fun alternative to run
Probably not gonna get a great time but you know, laser go pew
Ya-gg's calculated risk clip is zag fists plume strat lmao


Can you show that one?
Clip courtesy of Astaos
YT: https://www.youtube.com/user/ChipsMiel
Twitch: twitch.tv/astaos
That channel name
yea that one is amazing
"come back" will never stop destroying me
It's the giving up laughter that does it for me
thats mostly a flex option when youve already gotten everything you want in tartarus so you dont need a god keepsake for aspho and you havent seen hermes yet
Yes
It's a very good option in those cases
Which can happen more or less often depending on what you're playing
also good in case you saw hermes but he didn't give you any prerequisite
Ig you could also use that as a reason to reset tho lol
not really. rush delivery is much less useful if you dont have hypersprint
Just get routed levels of ichors 
the bonus damage is pretty minimal if your only source of movement speed is plume
just use zag sword. zag sword supremacy 
No 
zag sword

wait didnt someone make zag sword faster than nem for a bit 
I love playing ME on fists but I dislike ME on sword I am very normal
sword harder to point
Nuhai did, it was the first sub 7 on sword
Then magnil drops a 6:36 arthur
And that was wr for a while
Then me and tounis grinded for 6:26 nem
Then he just drops a 6:19 posideon
hades speedrunning 
Atleast cgull got a 6:17 nem so I can sleep soundly
sub6 zag sword time
Is poseidon as good as nem or was it just very good rng
How does a 53 sec aspho sound

Posideon mega stink aspect
It was considered pretty solid at one point I know that
I remember when it was posideon sword week like in june or smth
But I know it's like not even talked about now lol
Unmodded days
I got a 7:43 and that was 2nd place
Then tounis got the 6:19 in the same week
Its very underplayed
It needs a lot to work at all, right
Both our runs were ME
Lmao not even cast
imagine
Amazing
You can go LP but its kinda eh
cluster bomb a really interesting aoe
Yeah
got explosive fire and artemis epic attack pommed up on top of that
so my dps is insane
shortest asterius miniboss ever
probably my favorite rail run so far
surprised explosive fire comes with no downsides
artemis attack rail 
The downside is that it does very little 
Yes
And it makes your jolted work worse
Because it slows down enemies
So for jolted builds it’s actually detrimental
And then we have the other extreme, explosive shot bow, which quadruples damage but makes the bow kinda unplayable 
That charge time increase really is not fun
Yeah it’s not great
I will not tolerate explosive shot slander
I mean on zag bow it can be decent? I think?
But Chiron definitely doesn’t want it
And Hera probably doesn’t want it
triple explosive on zag bow is nice
And Rama definitely doesn’t want it
It’s good on hera
I don't much like it because powershots become so slow
Not as good as flurry but I really like it
Just don’t power shot
Does Rama even have explosive shot?
Or have I just yet to find it
But my range 
Get mobility from Hermes
Explosive Rama not the worst thing ever
getting bullied for being dumb about explosive shot lol
idk I love it so far but I'll eventually come around
easiest theseus fight for me too
almost didn't need a defiance
Explosive fun
But it’s probably worse than regular Rama 
Hrm
So the thing with explosive is to not charge at all, right?
You could probably do melee rama, yeah
Point blank shot, hunter dash, chaos lunge
What deals more damage, powershot bow or low charge explosive?
Oh wow i just tried to Borrow some gold from good ol boat man
that did not go well :D
really sick fight tho
Throwing hands with Charon can end bad yeah 
@past gate
Hell mode starts you with the pact of punishment before first win and you are forced to use HL1-LC1-JS1-CP1 and a new hell mode specific pact
It disables that shield that appears when you lost a lot of health in a quick time
Huh
And does that give you Heat points?
Can you increase the hell mode condition or is it only up to lv1?
Also bounties are capped at 25 heat instead of 20
And do the ones you're forced to use get extra levels?
nope
You are forced to take the lvl 1 of those but can go to their max (HL5-etc)
Too lazy to talk about PL 
on or on cuz hell mode
yea 
Ah also god mode is disabled
Nah
Like, the fact that you start with the Pact has to change at least some things, right?
no 
Well you get access to the pact right away so if you start a file then die you can see the heat menu before you escape again
but story wise it's all the same
You are probably gonna get all the story dialogue first anyways
I guess you technically would get Heat comments earlier than normal
Characters not gonna mention the heat for a while
forgot that I never had artemis attack, I had her special and demeter's attack lol
How?
demeter attack rail is still pretty bad
As someone who tried artic blast memes with eris i agree
how what
that's fair I thought 10 stacking would be fine with rail but it's more difficult
haven't really enjoyed the few demeter boons I've gotten
Like you have never tried Arty attack ever?
no I meant in this run in particular
cuz I came in all confident earlier saying otherwise
arty attack's one of the earliest boons I picked
first time needing to do all doors in styx
Oh lul
not that I mind, also the first time I've afforded a diamond from charon
ye mb lul
Before I unlocked heat I thought the only way to ever get more Titan Blood was thru the Broker and Charon Shop
So I had to save up for the whole game just to get it
Thank god that's not how that works

tru but all the heats sound awful
thought there'd be at least a way to circumvent low heats
The bounties are very forgiving
Having to turn on only 1 heat per bounty is kind of a joke
ye I mean just getting another free 6 titan blood from the furies doesn't sound bad
Heat reward only goes up to 20 anyway
I'll try it with shield and any other weapon I manage to beat hades with
I'm sitting, like, 7-10 heat higher than my bounties indicate because I wanna git gud at higher heat 
And you have more blood than you really need
Yeah, titan blood is surprisingly easy to get
Since it has two bounties per game
And a good ambrosia trade
how so? like 32 doesn't net anything?
It does
Bounties start at 0 heat
Then when you beat 0 heat, you need to put the heat to 1 to get more bounties
It unlocks a joke reward, but technically a reward nonetheless
:o
Then after you beat heat 1, you need to get heat 2
i like rewards
And so on
The bounties stop refreshing when the required heat to get anything hits 20
At least from what I've gathered here
at this point I've exhausted all the important reasons to use keys
So 32 heat would still yield rewards if your intended bounty is below or equal to 20
so all my keys get traded away
You can unlock some minor cosmetics later on.
Emphasizing on minor
Win screen and boon menu, right?
ye there's that thing that just gives you a title for pouring all your extra resources into it right?
And hp bar decoration i guess
Yeah the badges
Aren't ranks something different tho?
They are more of an after thought i think
I have ranks but I don't have the other cosmetics unlocked yet
Yeah, when you're done with the mirror there's nowhere to put your darkness
Not sure what you mean
bought some of the low cost gem furniture for the home base just to get some minor fate reward
The HP bar decorations and the other decorations you're talking about are different systems
I think they rely on different NPCs
The HP bar decor is from the guy in Hades's room
Yes
The other decor I've been told is from the contractor, but I don't have those yet so I can't confirm 
god mode's so good
It is possible, albeit oddly difficult and rng dependant, to beat a run with no divine aid
last three attempts all died to phase 2 hades
which I consider an honor and privilege
Shackles pog
Reminder that the damahed pillars in the area blocks dads lasers
Can't you just Fated Authority the gods away?
Or the rocks o
Lmao that's the one way to dodge them
Ive only got so much authority
Yeah
Make sure you get the key upgrades
The one that makes keys give Authority when collected
I ended up selling blessings and relying on rng to not get screwed at the satyr sacks
Can also give him a nice hug
Used excalibur

Im not joking, there is a blindspot right next to him
Huh
So lasers wont hit you
Also theseus is a bastard boss fight i want him to choke on his shield
That won't work in EM4, tho, right?
Because of the pulses around him
Yeah not on em4
Huh
So if you just stand close enough in normal Hades, the lasers deal no damage at all
Programming
on em4 shield you have corner strats which are literally the pinnacle of gaming

Em 3 theseus is just comedic to me
need charged shot though
Isnt it really that they deal no dmg, the lasers just dont spawn right next to him
Yeah
They soawn a bit far from him
Like in the "alrifht the games taking the piss" sort of way
So like the Blown Kiss jank I've heard people talk about with Hera
Em 3 thesesus
EM3 theseus is just obnoxious tbh, he still doesn't really get involved, and while he can shoot you for some amounts of damage, I think he's usually more aggressive without EM
The biggest problem is him bombing the arena while asterius is spinning and filling up the center but I've hardly ever had trouble with that
Em3 Theseus is to bully your acorn charges
Tbh it's a shame how little I play normal Heroes because it's genuinely cool to see the two learn new team moves
em3 fists is still probably the 2nd worst experience ive had in this game
Hes annoying i hate his shield i hate his grin
Theseus is just the pinnacle of annoyance
Campy
Block
Range
Random stage-wide attacks
How can you make it any worse? 
Theseus is a good character but hes designed in the perfect way to make me want to do dentistry on him with a sledgehammer
It's funny how the time he's most open to damage is when he's running away from you
Shows cowardice doesn't pay off ig
Or when im autisticly dashing around him trying in vain to outcircle him
I have asphergerd syndrome i get to say that
You can also bait the spin attack and dash through him
It's embarrassing how many times I've mistimed that and ended up getting hit lmao
So, what do you guys think is the worst Theseus god aid?
Dem
Yeah
Maybe Aphro because sometimes it'll just force you to stand still
But Demeter does the most and the worst things
Also speaking of demeter for some reason demeter makes my runs very stronk
Whenever you try to play aggressive a blizzard spawns right next to him 
I rarely get to see aphro aid theseus lmao
And seems to like giving me their legendary
Aphro boons too good
So Theseus can only get god aids that you're not using?
I figured it worked like that, but I never got to test it
Makes sense
Yeah if you have a boon of a god those wont help theseus
Hm yes lets just make 10% of any enemies health bars not matter
Oh, question, if your got pool is full, does equipping another god's keepsake still guarantee the boon appears?
Yes and adds them to the pool
Most common way is through keeosakes but yeah
I've had more than 4 boons at some points because of Charon shop but I didn't think you'd actually be able to get more boons from both the gods
I thought the game wouldn't give you more boons from the 5th
4 god pools are when the game stops making more appear but still csn force another
Or mid shop things
And in that case, the 5th god still gets boons?
Ye
Just will be rare to get the god you need if your pool is even bigger
Now that I think about it I've never seen arty aid, what's it like 
I use Arty a lot for pressure points but definitely not this frequently
Can Theseus get Demeter aid if Demeter hasn't been unlocked yet?
Probably not
weird that I got athena dialogue telling me "you've met poseidon haven't you" over 35 runs in and having already gotten duo boon dialogue from the pair
Dialogue like that doesn't happen on duos
It's pretty common after you pick a god second
Then there's a different dialogue for the duo
In Duos the second god is also going to show up, too
Dialogue system randomly picks from a list of possible ones
So they can be kinda out of order like that
Are there gonna be brazilian portuguese dub of the game?
Im a fandub and I love the game ;-;
Im doing theater courses to become a professional dub
What's the main reason to use Lucifer, anyway?
wow actually beat hades on this fourth god mode run huh
really hated this build too
Or super soaker 
oh well, second dub
Does the normal attack tick faster with lucifer?
we take those
As in, does lucifer get hits faster than normal rail
Hold on - does Lightning rod work alongside Scintillating Feast?
Is it literally just more thunderbolts-
did you think it wouldnt?
I thought that it would activate once the festive fog wears off-
Which is what I'm trying to clarify.
I ask since I'm trying out a pretty decked out Beo cast run for the first time and I'm deciding between pressure points and rod, and I'm more inclined to choose the latter if Rod doesn't activate at the same time.
Tch, where's that blasted love cultist when I need answers.
Edit: figured it out lads.
whats the most amount of casts you can get in one run?
just got aspect of guan you 😎😎😎
Guan me?
guan we 
guan us 🇨🇳
guan she
Routed max bloodstone run when
guano
guan two three four
do you keep the bonus damage from strong drink if you sell it
???
if nobody responded i’d assume they don’t know
You don’t
關羽
Also I haven’t tested this out from fear, but if you get the Athena boon that gives you an extra dd, if it’s full, do you still get it?
You don't
Thank god I didn’t do anything about that then
That wouldn’t make sense
It would basically be giving a free dd for no reason
Chaos legendary does that
sd can cheese an extra sd (i think u shouldn’t have to cheese it but w/e)
idk if dd should also get an extra one but the athena dd that increases health regen % is nice anyway
Oh yeah
I guess you’re right
Still, it’d probably be too easy to get an extra if that was the case
While a second chaos would be rare
lmao i get like 4 chaos portals per run
Wait, really
yeah
cool
How r u getting 4
i’m too good
chaos loves u
I've gotten 5
No, but you can get DDs with stubborn defiance
Eh not really
If you roll wells, not seeing a second chaos is rare
yo what
how does that work
Just pick up the Athena boon when you’ve lost you SD in that room
i didnt even have persuasion
and i got like 4 in 1 game
You skipped her dialogue.
oh damn
so just die on purpose in a room with an athena boon
leave the last enemy on like 1 tap
Well yeah that can totally happen without rerolls
Yes
owo switch patch?
uwu?
Charon was just nice to me
Chaos?
No, like 3/4
Mistyped
But still a ton
I so wish that rerolling hammers was possible
But I guess you can’t persuade a literal stick with metal to change its benefits
im going to personally find Daedelus and convince him
lowkey want to try a dash only run
thunder sounds very fun
maybe tidal, take a zeus call or whatever for sea storm, (other controls would be unbound anyway so it doesnt matter) and do both
demeter dash only 
well i wouldnt be using it at aall
Yeah just put Zeus on anything and then get sea storm and jolted and splitting bolt and also get every Poseidon T2
Oh ok I was just confused because you specified
what weapon were you playing that uses shackle start ares attack 
Dem fists, randomized kit and pact
is it the random reddit challenge
I just lost my streak (18 wins) that has lasted since my second escape due to the aspect of lucifer
i thought it would be a good run with poseidon and zeus boons
It was way too slow and i couldnt control the bombs well
Hi Guys, glad that bought this game)

Am I the only one who prefers normal Heroes over EM3? Not in terms of difficulty, just in terms of how the fight feels to play
The team moves make the fight so much cooler
And theseus sniping you with his spear means you have to pay more attention while fighting asterius
The EM3 equivalent of that is him running through the stage and shooting you, but that's lamer and kinda unpredictable
Also, the fact that even touching the chariot deals you damage is annoying
wait does fated persuasion replace all boon choices
I like EM hydra better cuz it's faster
yes
EM theseus is just annoying
it gives you a new set of 3
I see thanks
but the same boon can appear again
You can reroll all the same boons, but it's rare
I thought it was just supposed to replace one of the choices which seemed pretty bad
but glad it does all 3
yeah that does kinda suck
the game doesnt know which one is "bad"
so basically it takes away the old blessing and gives you a new one
nah I mean I thought fated persuasion itself was bad
defo gonna try use it from now on
Yee
Room rerolls are sad
Too high of a chance to get pom or nectar
I finally maxed it out to 4 yesterday

Authority, to me, is just to avoid unwanted gods in the pool
That's it 
It can also be to keep getting the same god over and over
But it has quite a lot of rng to it
Also requires some experience knowing when to roll and how much to roll
Just be greedy and hope it works out 
Yes
I have 1200 gold and im in temple of styx so do i buy titan's blood or all the poms and stuff
I think i can beat hades with my current stuff but im not 100%
Nvm i greeded and bought the titan's blood time to give cerberus his food
ill probably stay at 200 something hours for awhile
im a casual
Let's go i got him
ez 2 titan's blood
damn it’s hard to get used to guan you
yu
it attacks so slow and u get 30 go
hp
Ugh yeah
Whats the best way to farm or just get more nectar? I always only have one or two and to progress the story i need to give every god one, and i also want to get all the companions
Once you unlock the pact of punishment you can unlock extra bounties
As for grinding nectar, use Fated Authority and go for speedy builds
I like Artemis and Ares for quick runs
Also Zeus for certain builds
What aspect is the best for that
Hm
Also check the trader at the lounge
Really depends on what you're good with
I like fists for low heat grinding, and bow for tougher pacts
Everything else is equal except for exceptional builds
thats like one beo trippy flare cast
Yeesh
Lol
you have to "borrow" the money
Good luck
yep
oh lmao gl
time to use aspect of demeter
Keep your distance from the moving grid
lmao
It's a bad bad time
alr bye
they're kinda hard
especially if you do it early on
There's no time limit tho so just be on your toes and stay patient
Yeah you really need to level your weapons for this one
Shield hidden or zeus aspect is the only shield I would use against him, everything else but fists work fine
reflecting is really useful
^^^
You have to empty dash tho
I would say spear is my fav for charon, especially with long distance hammer
Shield gun and bow lock you still which is Bad
Sword is a little short
I got 30% attack speed on aspect of arthur with deadly strike and battle rage I love this so much
I managed to do Charon fight on tart with hidden fists 
Nice
Arthur is bae
Oh heck yeah
Hidden fists was one of my first successful Charon runs
Also shield has block-bullrish so you barely stand still
First was naegling board and a carp ton of defensive boons
You still can dash while holding attack on rail
I would say aphro weak debuff is mandatory for this fight, or at least Athena
Yesss
Lmao
first time beating him though
The amount of damage is just funny
Average death rate
Definitely not
Bow also dash strikes a lot so barely stand on 1 place
Fr
if you can get them back it's worth it
yeah
Okay but you're on that high heat stuff
Weak isn’t mandatory just don’t get hit 
i usually buy them
I'm still getting there lol
What does that mean
or get from patroculus
"Just git gud"
I’m just saying it’s not mandatory
You sound like the elder ring fandom
Mandatory is a very strong word
When ur down to 1 and pat doesn't show up 
well
I mean my gilga charon fight was just tidal dash and ruthless reflex from the mirror
I’m not telling you to git gud or criticizing your skill. It’s a hard fight
Tidal dash is dummy good
I just wouldn’t call something mandatory unless it’s actually mandatory
Okay
yeah then u have to fight them dirty satyrs
Tidal dash so fun
Ruthless reflex is stupid good in elysium too
I just switched from the extra dash
Worth it
what's that again
It is?
not really
I don’t agree at all
More like ruthless is good when using gilga 
You get free damage just by dashing next to those slow arrows
Elysium is especially rough with only one dash
You can do that in the other regions too
Once it's maxed out you don't really notice the lost dash
I can't live without the extra dash because I'm so used to it lmao
well
I most certainly do
I usually burn persuasions on extra dashes anyway
If I can't have extra dash, it's ichor and defensive boons
Losing a dash cuts your dps nearly in half with some weapons
I never trust Hermes
My style is to focus on positioning, so I rarely need to speed dash
And makes avoiding a lot of attacks way more difficult
yeah literally every speedrunner and high heater disagrees with you
And I don't think any builds I run are particularly broken by the loss of dash
Except for the ones that use shield
sword moment
I just said early in the convo I'm not a high heat runner
RR shield comfy
Do you run shield only
Sword moment 😔
Nope
I hate shield
Hidden and Zeus are alright if I wanna build
Well every other weapon loses a lot of dps with only one dash
??
And bow doesn’t lose dps but it loses the ability to actually move around and not get hit effectively 
?
It's not that deep
Lol

You said some similar things
Like what
.
Be kind to each other.

Whipping out toxic
Just drop it and move on. This ain't going anywhere.
I mean the meme right now is that elden ring fans just tell ya to get gud, didn't mean anything serious by that remark
be kinder
And you did clarify you didn't mean it in a bad way, so that's fine
Putting words in my mouth is not
Capiche?
Bruh.
🔫 
Pewpew
Hoarding slash with 691 coins
Who gave dusa a gun
this run is so cracked
Lolol
You gotta post a screenshot when ur done
I wanna see ur dummy thick boon list
Oh I'm going to
hoarding slash 
As if that does damage 
I will lose lives just for titan blood money
Does it not stack on top of all your bonuses?
You’re just giving up a bunch of boons for a very small amount of damage
Hoarding slash kinda sad
Nope
Dusa gave Dusa a gun.
Hoarding slash is pretty much worthless (but at least it doesn’t hurt you) 

Summoning Angel to say that a nem wr had hoarding so its good 
Omg she has another one
its one of the better sword hammers because of that reason 
Queen
Hear, hear 🔨
Sad but true
Sword hammers 
dash nova
Return of snap nova when

SNAP NOVA
Double nova is like meh

Double edge >>>>>> everything else >> cursed slash and flurry slash

On Arthur, shadow slash is pretty good
I love how flurry gets thrown to the bottom just lf the fact it interacts so weird with dash strikes
breaching slash comfy
Yeah breaching slash is second place for Nem I think
if only it worked like flurry jab 
Piercing wave 
piercing is nice
I wish piercing wave carried effects or boons instead of flat damage
Or did it do that the one time I got it and not notice
Affected by global dmg or "enemies take more dmg" boons ig well boon cause i think sword only has access to sweet surrender
It doesnt carry boon effects nor flat damage
someone hel
help
which do i choose
a legendary boon from dionysus black out
or a duo with zeus called scintalling feast
well i chose the duo
It depends on multiple things
no
what the hell i just turned on hades extreme measures and you’re telling me he had 3 LIVES LIKE BRO AINT 2 ENOUGH WITH CEBERUS TOO?

Yeah, EM4 is pretty rough
Worst part has gotta be the summons in pha 1, tho
The dark mode in pha 3 is kinda funky but it doesn't change that much, after all
worst part is he can throw a spear for 50 damage from offscreen
Eh you can out-dps it
Factor in the Boiling Blood and that's a whole dd 
Yeah that’s definitely the worst part of the fight
