I can totally control hera flurry shot don't look at all those missed casts

gray apex
past gate
#

Idk, compare it to zeus aspect, you're zoomin

#

The room clears slower but at least you feel faster dusa

median trellis
#

Beo is one of the fastest aspects in the game I just don't have fun with it bouldy

#

Atm

mint coral
#

i never feel fast with zeus shield lmao

gray apex
#

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

past gate
#

I've got some pretty good ME setups with this before, I think it's good

mint coral
#

im not gonna say its bad dusa

past gate
#

The pain when your shield is all the way on the other side of the room and takes ages to come back dusa

mint coral
#

is the weapon used for 64 heat route for a reason

past gate
#

It is?

#

Cool

mint coral
#

also MEus is the only way i tolerate ME lmao

gray apex
#

It's surely not bad, it's also very speedy if you play it well enough but it's too much skill for me bouldy

#

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

mint coral
#

:croven:

gray apex
#

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

signal aspen
#

You can't get good at kbm hera residentzag

past gate
#

I only wish I had aim at mouse when I play achilles

#

Even better movement

reef zodiac
#

Yeah Achilles auto-aim is atrocious

rich gulch
#

Which god would provide the highest DPS in the case of an autoattack build with as much attack speed?

twin thistle
#

zeus p much

vivid fossil
#

Ive just gotten 3 chaos fishing spots back to back, how likely is that?

median trellis
#

Likely enough to happen bouldy

icy knoll
#

is aspect of gilgamesh good

#

it seems super strong but nobody seems to be talking about it

#

always demeter or zag fists

high island
#

It's not very good.

median trellis
#

Fists are just not very good at least not for speedrunning purposes

#

Gilga is fun tho

torn drift
#

Gilga is fun but it doesnt help me being already stupidly agressive

reef zodiac
#

Gil is fun if you unbind attack and special

torn drift

Fighting dad with 19 health and no revives

Rip this run

Just don't get hit

Last mirror talent

torn drift
#

I DIR IT. I BEAT A RUN WITH NO GOD BOONS

past gate
#

Nice!

torn drift
#

Excalibur helped

#

No wonder hades is all grumpy all the time his beds made of stone

past gate
#

His throne is also made of stone

#

And then you see all those comfy chairs sitting around the House that Zag always ignores dusa

torn drift
#

I want to get dad a comfier chair

past gate
#

He must like it or something idk

torn drift
#

Also imagine if the house work allowed you to work in hades's chambers

past gate
#

Imagine, if Hades already has something to say about basically every renovation you do, now what if you could change his actual room? dusa

#

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

torn drift
#

He probably has someone sewing capes

#

Im tossing hands with charon

# icy knoll is aspect of gilgamesh good

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

twin thistle
#

idk if lambent plume is a speedrun strat

topaz mulch
#

It is for fists

#

Evasion is necessary to survive

twin thistle
#

or just dps

#

and dodging

topaz mulch
#

And speed kills with zag aspect will ramp you up to like 20% evasion once you hit final boss

topaz mulch
#

LOL

#

Dodge

#

Certain chaos curses as well

twin thistle
#

i think i know about high heat fists

topaz mulch
#

There are better fist builds for high heat for sure

#

I prefer spear and bow after like 20 heat tho

twin thistle
#

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

topaz mulch
#

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

twin thistle
#

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

topaz mulch
#

Never thought about that build, no

#

Sounds fun

brisk trail
#

if you only have one boon from a god and you sell it, does it remove the god from your 'pool'?

twin thistle
#

lemme* grab a vid

topaz mulch
#

Hm

topaz mulch
#

Does anything remove a god from your pool?

brisk trail
#

ok thought so tyt

topaz mulch
#

Only thing I can think of is if you maxed the pool out, equipped a god trinket, then unequipped it

#

That might do it

twin thistle
#

wrong link...

twin thistle
topaz mulch
#

Nice

raw herald
#

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

high island
#

Zag Fists + Lambent Plume and stacking dodge chance is a very good build, though.

#

Not a speedrun build, but good for clearing.

high island
iron oyster
#

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

brisk trail
#

.. failed to get merciful edge twice in row but im prob messing up the rng somehow

gray apex
#

Are you fulfilling the requirements?

brisk trail
#

yeah just not optimising probablities i guess

devout terrace
#

What are you talking about

past gate
#

You just need to wait until you get lucky enough

#

Do you have the mirror talent that improves Legendary and Duo chance on?

high island
#

Not opening other Duo Boons is gonna be the most important factor.

gaunt geyser
#

I've always wondered

#

what was the point in the garden?

iron oyster
gaunt geyser
#

Gameplay

#

seems like a complete waste to not do something with it

iron oyster
#

Probably just a little neat spot to flesh out the lore

#

Im pretty sure death isn’t the only way back home

gaunt geyser
#

idk what they coulda done with it infairness, maybe something to make more custom runs?

iron oyster
#

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

iron oyster
#

Maybe an actual garden

gaunt geyser
#

like you grow a fruit and it modifies the artictecture to idk, make it so only aphrodite boons are found

iron oyster
#

Yeah

#

I play a game called soul knight a little bit

#

Plants in that game give you buffs

gaunt geyser
#

its not a large complaint, it just feels a bit random to open up a new area but give it not a single feature

iron oyster
#

Or flat out award you cash

gaunt geyser
#

I'd also like an endless mode too

iron oyster
gaunt geyser
#

but thats just me

gaunt geyser
#

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

iron oyster
#

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

gaunt geyser
#

probably just gets charon to give him a ride lol

iron oyster
#

Ding ding

#

“Hnnnnnngh”

gaunt geyser
#

the money bag we find and charon gets pissy about is actually hade's payment

iron oyster
#

I still don’t get how the same person voiced both zag and “schlemus”

gaunt geyser
#

sadly for hades normally if we steal that payment hades wasted the trip lol

iron oyster
#

And then he beats you up with an oar that somehow never breaks

gaunt geyser
#

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

iron oyster
gaunt geyser
#

Also makes sense why charon hired him kinda

#

odysseus is related to hermes
and hermes and charon are friends

iron oyster
gaunt geyser
#

I forgot about achilles straight up

#

you right
my b

#

achilles is 100% just straight up a greek hero who isnt a pleb lol

iron oyster
#

Our favorite myrmidon soldier

gaunt geyser
#

also patroclus is technically a greek hero too

iron oyster
#

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

gaunt geyser
iron oyster
#

I sometimes think that sgg mixed up Achilles and Patroclus’ titles

iron oyster
#

Not sure though

#

Could just be my own memory being bad

iron oyster
#

Pat however is probably far less known

gaunt geyser
iron oyster
#

One version was that he was so stricken with grief that he allowed the arrow to hit him

gaunt geyser
#

achilles is immortal execept in the heel

iron oyster
#

Another was that during another rampage, Apollo (being a something I won’t say), guides Paris

iron oyster
gaunt geyser
#

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.

iron oyster
#

Apparently, he was only blessed

gaunt geyser
iron oyster
#

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

gaunt geyser
#

hm obviously theirs multiple tellings of the same story

iron oyster
#

In some@stories, Achilles was basically zag but even more slippery

#

Basically a blitz of attacks from everywhere

gaunt geyser
#

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")

iron oyster
#

He was certainly a demigod, and excelled at fighting

iron oyster
#

Some unfinished poem

iron oyster
#

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

gaunt geyser
#

he isn't hercules, achilles of theasus sure

iron oyster
#

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

gaunt geyser
iron oyster
#

Yeah I meant the latter

#

I was talking about lore all the time lmao

gaunt geyser
#

Yeah I was wondering why we all of a sudden started talking about achilles lore

iron oyster
#

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

gaunt geyser
#

I mean, patroclus was pretty forgotten in game

#

he was the only character zagereus didnt recognise if im not mistaken (other than skelly)

iron oyster
#

Yeah

#

Even the hydra was recognised

gaunt geyser
#

he recognises theasus for example

iron oyster
gaunt geyser
#

ehh tbh im probably gonna go now anyways lol

iron oyster
#

Aight cya

high island
iron oyster
#

He single-handedly slaughtered like thousands of people and turned the tide of a war

gaunt geyser
high island
#

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.

iron oyster
#

But tbf Persephone is@still hades’ niece

iron oyster
#

So

gaunt geyser
iron oyster
#

Oh yeah

#

Damn I forgor

#

Sgg really did go hard on the “no incest” rule

#

I guess it had to be 13+

gaunt geyser
iron oyster
#

I wonder who voice acted Lernie

#

Cerberus was the dog of someone on the dev team

gaunt geyser
#

oh

#

yeah

iron oyster
#

Flame wheels sound like cats

gaunt geyser
iron oyster
#

Why do flame wheels sound like cats

iron oyster
#

Close enough

mint coral
#

Cause they are small chariots

iron oyster
#

Yes, cats do that a lot

gaunt geyser
#

Minecraft ghasts were also voiced by a lead devs (jebs) cat

#

and once you learn that fact you will now never unhear it

iron oyster
#

Oh yeah I do remember that

quartz tendon
#

do I need to have exagryph equipped for Zeus to tell me what I need for the hidden aspect?

modern hull
#

Is the aspect of lucifer better than eris? I just unlocked it

median trellis
gray apex
#

It's definitely not meta for speedruns

median trellis
#

As others have said, plume unlocks rush delivery from hermes which is great

gray apex
#

And for high heat if you do a plume run you'll probably end up timing out

median trellis
#

Ye idk I don't play high heat but I could at least understand dodge chance meaning smth there lol

gray apex
#

Lucifer has Triple Bomb which is nice but it cant do nearly as much damage

median trellis
#

Luci is a lot of fun tho

gray apex
#

It is

median trellis
#

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

yea that one is amazing

devout terrace
#

"come back" will never stop destroying me

median trellis
#

It's the giving up laughter that does it for me

twin thistle
median trellis
#

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

twin thistle
#

not really. rush delivery is much less useful if you dont have hypersprint

gray apex
#

You can also get rush delivery and not get hyper sprint afterwards

mint coral
#

Just get routed levels of ichors bouldy

twin thistle
#

the bonus damage is pretty minimal if your only source of movement speed is plume

#

just use zag sword. zag sword supremacy bouldy

mint coral
#

No ron

median trellis
#

Oh ye sword exists

#

Definitely one of the weapons

twin thistle
#

bouldy zag sword

gray apex
twin thistle
#

wait didnt someone make zag sword faster than nem for a bit bouldy

median trellis
#

I love playing ME on fists but I dislike ME on sword I am very normal

twin thistle
#

sword harder to point

devout terrace
#

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

twin thistle
#

hades speedrunning bouldy

I am not saying I am jealous but I am

Posideon mega stink aspect

median trellis
#

It was considered pretty solid at one point I know that

devout terrace
#

I remember when it was posideon sword week like in june or smth

median trellis
#

But I know it's like not even talked about now lol

devout terrace
#

Unmodded days

#

I got a 7:43 and that was 2nd placebouldy

#

Then tounis got the 6:19 in the same week

#

Its very underplayed

median trellis
#

It needs a lot to work at all, right

devout terrace
#

Both our runs were ME

median trellis
#

Lmao not even cast

gray apex
#

imagine

median trellis
#

Amazing

devout terrace
#

You can go LP but its kinda eh

oblique ember
#

cluster bomb a really interesting aoe

sacred hatch
#

Yeah

oblique ember
#

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

signal aspen
#

artemis attack rail thanthink

reef zodiac
#

It’s good with spread fire bouldy

#

But otherwise it’s very very sad

reef zodiac
past gate
#

What does it do

#

Isn't it just aoe at the end of the move?

reef zodiac
#

Yes

#

And it makes your jolted work worse

#

Because it slows down enemies

#

So for jolted builds it’s actually detrimental

past gate
#

And then we have the other extreme, explosive shot bow, which quadruples damage but makes the bow kinda unplayable dusa

#

That charge time increase really is not fun

reef zodiac
#

Yeah it’s not great

raw herald
#

I will not tolerate explosive shot slander

reef zodiac
#

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

signal aspen
#

triple explosive on zag bow is nice

reef zodiac
#

And Rama definitely doesn’t want it

raw herald
#

It’s good on hera

past gate
#

I don't much like it because powershots become so slow

raw herald
#

Not as good as flurry but I really like it

raw herald
past gate
reef zodiac
#

Yes

#

It’s bad

reef zodiac
raw herald
#

Get mobility from Hermes

gray apex
#

Explosive Rama not the worst thing ever

oblique ember
#

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

mint coral
#

Explosive fun

reef zodiac
past gate
#

Hrm

#

So the thing with explosive is to not charge at all, right?

#

You could probably do melee rama, yeah

gray apex
#

I wouldn't say that

#

It's harder to play

past gate
#

Point blank shot, hunter dash, chaos lunge

#

What deals more damage, powershot bow or low charge explosive?

lean umbra
#

Oh wow i just tried to Borrow some gold from good ol boat man

#

that did not go well :D

#

really sick fight tho

mint coral
#

Throwing hands with Charon can end bad yeah dusa

#

@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

past gate
#

And does that give you Heat points?

mint coral
#

Yeah

#

You start at 5 heat

past gate
#

Can you increase the hell mode condition or is it only up to lv1?

mint coral
#

Also bounties are capped at 25 heat instead of 20

past gate
#

And do the ones you're forced to use get extra levels?

gray apex
#

nope

mint coral
#

You are forced to take the lvl 1 of those but can go to their max (HL5-etc)

gray apex
#

PL also has no levels

#

It's like UC MM HS

#

Either on of off

mint coral
#

Too lazy to talk about PL dusa

past gate
#

Is that the new condition?

gray apex
#

Personal Liability

#

Yea

mint coral
gray apex
#

yea bouldy

mint coral
#

Ah also god mode is disabled

past gate
#

I've never used that anyway dusa

#

Also, does the story change at all?

mint coral
#

Nah

past gate
#

Like, the fact that you start with the Pact has to change at least some things, right?

gray apex
#

no bouldy

#

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

mint coral
#

You are probably gonna get all the story dialogue first anyways

manic bobcat
#

I guess you technically would get Heat comments earlier than normal

mint coral
#

Characters not gonna mention the heat for a while

oblique ember
#

forgot that I never had artemis attack, I had her special and demeter's attack lol

signal aspen
mint coral
#

As someone who tried artic blast memes with eris i agree

oblique ember
#

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

manic bobcat
#

Like you have never tried Arty attack ever?

oblique ember
#

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

manic bobcat
#

Oh lul

oblique ember
#

not that I mind, also the first time I've afforded a diamond from charon

#

ye mb lul

past gate
#

So I had to save up for the whole game just to get it

#

Thank god that's not how that works

oblique ember
#

tru but all the heats sound awful

#

thought there'd be at least a way to circumvent low heats

past gate
#

The bounties are very forgiving

#

Having to turn on only 1 heat per bounty is kind of a joke

oblique ember
#

ye I mean just getting another free 6 titan blood from the furies doesn't sound bad

manic bobcat
#

Heat reward only goes up to 20 anyway

oblique ember
#

I'll try it with shield and any other weapon I manage to beat hades with

past gate
#

I'm sitting, like, 7-10 heat higher than my bounties indicate because I wanna git gud at higher heat dusa

manic bobcat
#

And you have more blood than you really need

past gate
#

Yeah, titan blood is surprisingly easy to get

#

Since it has two bounties per game

#

And a good ambrosia trade

oblique ember
manic bobcat
#

It does

past gate
#

Bounties start at 0 heat

#

Then when you beat 0 heat, you need to put the heat to 1 to get more bounties

manic bobcat
#

It unlocks a joke reward, but technically a reward nonetheless

lean umbra
#

:o

past gate
#

Then after you beat heat 1, you need to get heat 2

lean umbra
#

i like rewards

past gate
#

And so on

#

The bounties stop refreshing when the required heat to get anything hits 20

#

At least from what I've gathered here

oblique ember
#

at this point I've exhausted all the important reasons to use keys

past gate
#

So 32 heat would still yield rewards if your intended bounty is below or equal to 20

oblique ember
#

so all my keys get traded away

manic bobcat
#

Emphasizing on minor

past gate
oblique ember
#

ye there's that thing that just gives you a title for pouring all your extra resources into it right?

manic bobcat
#

Yeah the badges

past gate
manic bobcat
#

They are more of an after thought i think

past gate
#

I have ranks but I don't have the other cosmetics unlocked yet

past gate
manic bobcat
oblique ember
#

bought some of the low cost gem furniture for the home base just to get some minor fate reward

past gate
#

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

manic bobcat
#

Yes

past gate
#

The other decor I've been told is from the contractor, but I don't have those yet so I can't confirm dusa

manic bobcat
#

Yeah

#

Those are the two late game resource sink

oblique ember
#

god mode's so good

torn drift
#

It is possible, albeit oddly difficult and rng dependant, to beat a run with no divine aid

oblique ember
#

last three attempts all died to phase 2 hades

#

which I consider an honor and privilege

torn drift
#

Reminder that the damahed pillars in the area blocks dads lasers

Can't you just Fated Authority the gods away?

torn drift

Or the rocks o

#

Ive only got so much authority

Make sure you get the key upgrades

Huh

So lasers wont hit you

#

Also theseus is a bastard boss fight i want him to choke on his shield

past gate
#

Because of the pulses around him

mint coral
#

Yeah not on em4

past gate
#

Huh

#

So if you just stand close enough in normal Hades, the lasers deal no damage at all

#

Programming

devout terrace
#

on em4 shield you have corner strats which are literally the pinnacle of gaming

Em 3 theseus is just comedic to me

devout terrace
#

need charged shot though

mint coral
past gate
#

Yeah

mint coral
#

They soawn a bit far from him

torn drift
#

Like in the "alrifht the games taking the piss" sort of way

past gate
#

So like the Blown Kiss jank I've heard people talk about with Hera

torn drift
#

Em 3 thesesus

past gate
# torn drift 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

mint coral
#

Em3 Theseus is to bully your acorn charges

past gate
#

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

How can you make it any worse? dusa

Theseus is a good character but hes designed in the perfect way to make me want to do dentistry on him with a sledgehammer

past gate
#

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

torn drift
#

Or when im autisticly dashing around him trying in vain to outcircle him

#

I have asphergerd syndrome i get to say that

mint coral
#

You can also bait the spin attack and dash through him

past gate
#

So, what do you guys think is the worst Theseus god aid?

mint coral
#

Dem

past gate
#

Yeah

#

Maybe Aphro because sometimes it'll just force you to stand still

#

But Demeter does the most and the worst things

torn drift
#

Also speaking of demeter for some reason demeter makes my runs very stronk

past gate
#

Whenever you try to play aggressive a blizzard spawns right next to him dusa

mint coral
#

I rarely get to see aphro aid theseus lmao

torn drift
#

And seems to like giving me their legendary

mint coral
#

Aphro boons too good

past gate
#

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

mint coral
#

Yeah if you have a boon of a god those wont help theseus

torn drift
#

Hm yes lets just make 10% of any enemies health bars not matter

mint coral
#

And if you have all it should default to artemis

#

Iirc

past gate
#

Oh, question, if your got pool is full, does equipping another god's keepsake still guarantee the boon appears?

mint coral
#

Yes and adds them to the pool

past gate
#

Wait

#

So you can have a pool of more than 4?

mint coral
#

Most common way is through keeosakes but yeah

past gate
#

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

mint coral
#

4 god pools are when the game stops making more appear but still csn force another

#

Or mid shop things

past gate
#

And in that case, the 5th god still gets boons?

mint coral
#

Ye

past gate
#

Cool

#

So family favorite can be even better

#

Nice

mint coral
#

Just will be rare to get the god you need if your pool is even bigger

past gate
#

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?

mint coral
#

Probably not

oblique ember
#

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

past gate
#

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

median trellis
#

Dialogue system randomly picks from a list of possible ones

#

So they can be kinda out of order like that

i’d assume so?

#

Hold on - does Lightning rod work alongside Scintillating Feast?

#

Is it literally just more thunderbolts-

gaunt geyser
rich gulch
#

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?

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?

median trellis
#

You don't

iron oyster
#

Thank god I didn’t do anything about that then

polar quail
#

It would basically be giving a free dd for no reason

median trellis
#

Chaos legendary does that

strong ridge
#

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

polar quail
#

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

oblique isle

lmao i get like 4 chaos portals per run

im going to personally find Daedelus and convince him

They’re fun

Gilgamesh

Tidal is the easiest, but Thunder and Blade are also fun

slim geyser

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 dusa

reef zodiac

Zeus call?

That’s not dash only

OMG

#

BONDS FORGED PICREW

past gate
#

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

scarlet scarab
#

wait does fated persuasion replace all boon choices

topaz mulch
#

I like EM hydra better cuz it's faster

topaz mulch
#

EM theseus is just annoying

fast willow
#

it gives you a new set of 3

scarlet scarab
#

I see thanks

fast willow
#

but the same boon can appear again

topaz mulch
scarlet scarab
#

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

fast willow
#

so basically it takes away the old blessing and gives you a new one

scarlet scarab
#

nah I mean I thought fated persuasion itself was bad

fast willow

oh mb

but yeah fated persuasion is awesome

#

its a lot better than authority

It can also be to keep getting the same god over and over

I was very lucky with my first guan yu run

#

Also turned off EM for dad LOL

#

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

modern hull

Hm

mint coral
#

Also check the trader at the lounge

topaz mulch

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

umbral bloom

especially if you do it early on

topaz mulch
#

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

umbral bloom
#

reflecting is really useful

topaz mulch
#

^^^

#

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

umbral bloom
#

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 dusa

Oh heck yeah

Hidden fists was one of my first successful Charon runs

First was naegling board and a carp ton of defensive boons

You still can dash while holding attack on rail

oblique isle

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

I just wouldn’t call something mandatory unless it’s actually mandatory

topaz mulch

Okay

Tidal dash so fun

Ruthless reflex is stupid good in elysium too

I just switched from the extra dash

Worth it

umbral bloom

#

not really

reef zodiac
#

I don’t agree at all

mint coral
#

More like ruthless is good when using gilga dusa

topaz mulch
#

You get free damage just by dashing next to those slow arrows

reef zodiac
#

Elysium is especially rough with only one dash

reef zodiac
topaz mulch
#

Once it's maxed out you don't really notice the lost dash

umbral bloom
signal aspen
#

well

reef zodiac
topaz mulch
#

I usually burn persuasions on extra dashes anyway

#

If I can't have extra dash, it's ichor and defensive boons

reef zodiac
#

Losing a dash cuts your dps nearly in half with some weapons

mint coral
#

I never trust Hermes

topaz mulch
#

My style is to focus on positioning, so I rarely need to speed dash

reef zodiac
#

And makes avoiding a lot of attacks way more difficult

signal aspen
#

yeah literally every speedrunner and high heater disagrees with you

topaz mulch
#

And I don't think any builds I run are particularly broken by the loss of dash

reef zodiac
#

Except for the ones that use shield

topaz mulch
mint coral
#

RR shield comfy

topaz mulch
#

Nope

#

I hate shield

#

Hidden and Zeus are alright if I wanna build

reef zodiac
#

Well every other weapon loses a lot of dps with only one dash

topaz mulch
#

Okay

#

Not concerned about it

reef zodiac
#

#

And bow doesn’t lose dps but it loses the ability to actually move around and not get hit effectively bouldy
