Cerberus Vanquished
(You did this)

slim geyser
#

i was so certain i was going to have to fight him when i got to him for the first time

heavy sigil
#

any1 have tips for hestia?

#

its rlly hard ._. like shoot reload dash and repeat goes against everything i learned when i used hera bow

#

bc i rebinded reload to cast cuz kbm moment

raw herald
#

are you controller or kbm

heavy sigil
#

kbm

raw herald
#

im not sure what people do for kbm sorry

heavy sigil
#

😩

#

its alr

latent moon
#

there's no real "combo" with hestia to begin with, all there is is just reloading and shooting

#

just make sure that the reload button is easy to hit, rebind if you have to

heavy sigil
#

o alr

#

time to rlly get it into my muscle memory

latent moon
#

i will admit tho, i haven't used hestia that much but tbh it seems fairly straight forward

#

just don't get hit and get big damage lmao

heavy sigil
#

whats a good build for it?

latent moon
#

as far as i know, aphrodite attack

#

and then everything else is just whatever you want i guess lmao, your main source of damage is just gonna be the attack

heavy sigil
#

artemis attack plus apro special and going for duo seems alr but crits seem inconsistent at times

#

oh yeah aphro attack gives a lot of %

#

i should run that\

latent moon
#

someone correct me if im wrong, but i remember someone saying that artemis attack isn't great because it has a low damage modifier and doesn't scale well with poms

#

and yeah sure, the crits are great, but also it's a bit overkill

#

when instead it'd be better to just deal consistent big damage

#

if you want crits, you can take pressure points from artemis to help but i dont think it should be on your main attack

iron oyster
latent moon
#

pretty much yeah

iron oyster
#

Or in tart, 1 shot 100% of the time lmao

#

Hestia does that I guess

latent moon
#

yep

iron oyster
#

I wonder if I should go for beo flood flare or passion flare

#

I’ve always used passion flare

latent moon
#

i've used passion flare before switching to flood flare, and i like flood flare better

#

granted, trying to get mirage shot is a bit of a pain, but flood flare covers more area iirc

heavy sigil
latent moon
#

and also if you have charged shot, flood flare doesn't get stuck in a wall but passion flare does

iron oyster
#

I always try to run cshot ok ty for telling me that

signal aspen
#

Flood flare has bigger aoe and can hit through walls

latent moon
#

like, it hits a wall and the burst of the flare just goes into the wall

signal aspen
#

Passion can't

iron oyster
#

And it’s water

signal aspen
iron oyster
#

I’ll take flood flare next time and probably Artemis on attack or something

latent moon
#

yeah that's the idea

iron oyster
#

Man I’m imagining pressure points and a double flood flare

latent moon
#

pump all the poms into cast basically and get mirage shot

iron oyster
#

Pressure procs on both flares for mirage would be crazy

latent moon
#

if you can, maybe get the 2 extra casts from arty

iron oyster
signal aspen
latent moon
#

oh can you not

iron oyster
#

Wat

signal aspen
#

You can but it's really hard

#

You should never aim for it

iron oyster
#

So you just need crazy rng

latent moon
#

fair

iron oyster
#

I’d rather just go for chaos boons

#

Or Prometheus stones

signal aspen
#

Yeah

latent moon
#

but if you keep running into arty then like might as well at that point

heavy sigil
#

i almost never get mirage shot with passive flare but always get it with flood flare

iron oyster
#

I’d take pom over arty with a cast build ngl

heavy sigil
#

so i just run flood everytime

signal aspen
#

That's why people use flood

iron oyster
#

Unless I don’t have an Artemis boon, or am shooting for a mirage

iron oyster
#

S

heavy sigil
#

yeah and then after u get the 3 boons u need another god and then u need to get the duo

#

its just too much luck

#

to be consistent

iron oyster
#

So you’d have sweet nectar (sweet nectar could actually be the dio aphro one idk), heart rend and mirage

#

Thus lowering the chances of the right duo

#

Aka mirage

#

Wait what’s the Poseidon/Aphrodite duo called again

#

It’s sweet nectar right

signal aspen
#

Sweet nectar

iron oyster
#

Aha my brain isn’t damaged

signal aspen
#

Not yet

iron oyster
#

Not yet

signal aspen
iron oyster
#

Just a couple hundred more hours in hades and cs

#

Then I’ll be rolling with the terminal dumbass condition

#

Hell yeah

latent moon
#

what a way to go

wait whats rhe base dmg of maxed hesita rail

#

i see 150 in some places but i saw a clip of ppl consistently doing 300

#

slim geyser
#

shackle adds dmg

heavy sigil
#

maybe im just dumb

#

o

#

yeah shackle

#

wait no

#

not shackle

#

its fiery + high confidence

#

either way im dumb

heavy sigil
#

hyper sprint epic rush delivery is stupid op on hestia lmao

#

just a flat out 100% dmg increase

raw herald
#

It’s op on everything

#

Except maybe Rama

heavy sigil
#

does splash dash do more dmg then it says?

#

wait nvm

umbral parrot
#

Sorryyy

high island
austere loom
#

just unlocked the hidden shield aspect

#

is there something about it that I should know

gray apex
#

Dash strike to start bullrushes/cshots

#

And just focus on your cast

#

Mirage shot is bugged so it deals 100% damage instead of the 30% that the tooltip says so it’s a good boon to aim for

#

Only for flares

#

So sad... I have the mission of defeating Hades with the cosmic egg or however is called the Chaos relic in english... And I just got the final ending so I didnt fight Hades and I didnt get the 3 diamomd reward :C

#

And I mean, since I completed my first run I have a 10 win streak but... I wanted to keep reading the lore and interactions of Chaos

#

Anyways, hi people

#

I never talk on this server but I am loving Hades

#

Anyways...

#

Was so cool because the credits song (In the blood) is the song that made me know Hades and I have been listening to it almost everyday

iron osprey
#

anyone got a guan yu build?

#

i remember i saw one a while back

raw herald
deep grotto
iron osprey
#

wtf is this

austere loom
#

exactly what it means

iron osprey
#

yeah but

#

i did 💀

austere loom
#

there must be an instance already active

#

but it's not up

iron osprey
#

how do i make it up then

#

cuz

austere loom
#

weird stuff like that happens all the time

iron osprey
#

when i close it in task manager

#

and go to open

austere loom
#

maybe a restart is in order

iron osprey
#

it just doesnt open

austere loom
#

computers aren't perfect so yeah

#

a good on-and-off should fix it

iron osprey
austere loom
#

now that is weird

#

never heard of a phantom instance of an application persisting after a restart

iron osprey
#

im playing thru the pc gamepass so maybe thats that

austere loom
#

maybe a uninstall-reinstall, if things are that strange though I would suggest an internet search using your contexts

#

like "pc gamepass [game] already running"

dense meadow
#

you rebooted the machine and its still running? lol. how is that even possible

mint coral
iron osprey
austere loom
#

thinking of an excuse to run Aphrodite builds

#

need more nectar donations to her

novel wasp
#

Love Shotgun build

austere loom
#

Nice thanks

dense meadow
#

aphrodite with artemis have carried few of my runs with heart rend duo. aphrodite call is also generally nice. you can rarely go wrong with her imo, can easily fit in a lot of builds. high percentage attack/special boost, seems to work well with slower weapons in general.

elfin cedar
#

what is LC?

gray apex
#

Lasting Consequences

elfin cedar
#

how do i unlock it?

#

oh i'm gonna assume its one of those deal thingies

#

like that you start at the entrance to tartarus

devout terrace
elfin cedar
#

oh okay thanks :)

#

rq whats dark foresight

#

i think its a mirror upgrade but idk what it does

devout terrace
#

it gives you 20% extra chance to see gold rewards

#

like poms, coins, boons and health

#

you should absolutely take it

elfin cedar
#

why don't use it? i use it

#

oh

#

u

devout terrace
#

Im just meming

elfin cedar
#

m

#

ok

#

tysm <3

elfin cedar
#

should i fight charon in my runs?

latent moon
#

Depends

strong ridge
#

in tartarus probably not
if ur strongish in asphodel then winning can be huge
by elysian usually

mint coral
#

Is fun dusa do it

elfin cedar
#

what should i go for next?

strong ridge
#

huh

elfin cedar
#

oop

#

sorry

#

hold on its not sending screenshot- T_T

latent moon
#

Charon is a decently difficult fight only because you don't fight him often so you don't really memorize his attack pattern easily

elfin cedar
latent moon
#

And the earlier in the run you see him the harder he is because you don't have many good boons yet

strong ridge
#

but u probably won’t walk out for a couple of tries

latent moon
#

Expect to die a lot in the process tho if it's in Tartarus lol

elfin cedar
#

where can i send media?

mint coral
latent moon
#

True

mint coral
#

Embeds are fine

elfin cedar
#

i have maxed everything besides god's pride and fated persuasion, should i grind for fated or go for gods pride

latent moon
#

Is fated persuasion the one where you reroll doors or boons

mint coral
#

Boons

latent moon
#

Id do that one then

dense meadow
austere loom
#

finally, all aspects unlocked

#

hidden aspects anyway

#

the fist one seems interesting, couldn't be worse than the spear's or sword's

gray apex
#

Actually it is

austere loom
#

really? huh

gray apex
#

The Fists hidden aspect is arguably the worst aspect in the entire game bouldy

austere loom
#

is it the slower attack and enemy damage boost?

#

I thought that was the spear

gray apex
#

The damage output is very low and the extra dashes have longer recovery and are also shorter

austere loom
#

huh, never saw that

#

ah well

#

the shield hidden aspect is pretty good

#

albeit kinda slow

gray apex
#

Yea it is very good

austere loom
#

3 out of 6 hidden aspects reached the surface

#

the sword is too slow for my liking

#

and the spear's main drawback sounds too tough

gray apex
#

Not as intuitive to use and it punishes whiffing your casts quite a bit so most people find it slow

#

But it's the fastest shield and a top speedrunning weapon

austere loom
#

it's only slow if I miss

#

once it hits with 3 trippy flare's, it's a nuke

gray apex
#

Trippy Flare is best used with Stygian

austere loom
#

oh, does the crystal regenerate while loaded?

gray apex
#

No

austere loom
#

ah, speed and reliability then

gray apex
#

With Infernal Trippy stays in the ground for too long

austere loom
#

I see now, same reasoning for Hera bow?

gray apex
#

With Trippy Flare yes

austere loom
#

so for crush shot, the usual is better?

gray apex
#

Infernal for Crush Shot yea

dense meadow
#

the problem with some of these strategies is that you are using stugian soul which basically requires specific casts. if rng lets you get one that lodges , stygian soul is wasted. thats one part of the mirror i dont like, cause it doesnt really really support pure rng runs. roguelikes are supposed to be rng in their heart.

gray apex
#

Keepsakes exist

#

If you're playing with Trippy Flare and you're not starting with that there's a big issue already

dense meadow
#

sure but you are doing the same thing, forcing runs to be specific builds. you dont know when you will get the flare or not. thats the gist of a roguelike. you adapt to what is offered. the god keepsakes make the same thing ruining this. but thankfully all of that is optional. but you get my point.

gray apex
#

Well you have to adapt to a lot of things even when using keepsakes

#

There is a ton of rng in runs and keepsakes don't ruin that, they're used to get strong combos consistently to win, if you refrain from using keepsakes at all chances are you eventually have no clue where your damage is coming from and you're just winging it with whatever at that point, it takes a lot of experience to understand how builds and damage work

austere loom
#

you know

#

for the sake of it, I'm just gonna try the hidden fist aspect

#

no point not to

gray apex
#

It's good to try everything in the game

austere loom
#

also the super soaker build is stupid but pretty good

#

it's like powerwashing the chambers clean

#

although it is kinda weak until you get the sea storm

gray apex
#

The damage can be okay depending on what you get but it's average at best compared to some other builds

#

It's a meme build

austere loom
#

yeah, it's strong but finicky

#

to reliant on getting the duo

icy knoll
#

join the gilgamesh gang

austere loom
#

a lot of the hidden aspects seem to nerf the attack speed

#

I think only the gun doesn't

icy knoll
#

yeah they're supposed to be slower but stronger

#

the gun does too but it's just the startup

deep grotto
#

can i still reload if i take delta chamber

austere loom
#

I can excuse the bow's though

icy knoll
#

you doing hestia? yes

austere loom
#

it's busted

deep grotto
#

okay thanks

#

omg

austere loom
#

how fast should I clear the chamber for Hermes' keepsake?

deep grotto
#

i understood it wrong

austere loom
#

don't think I saw the time

deep grotto
#

it doesnt give dmg

icy knoll
gray apex
#

There is a timer under the keepsake

icy knoll
#

on the hud

austere loom
#

oh, didn't notice it

#

ah well

gray apex
#

It changes with biome depth and in boss rooms

austere loom
#

for gilgamesh, default dash or the green one?

icy knoll
#

green one is generally better

#

(if you're talking about ruthless reflex)

austere loom
#

assumed so

#

I like the boost even with less chances

#

and gil already gives extra chances

icy knoll
#

you still have three dashes and you'll need to proc it a lot to do any damage at all with it

austere loom
#

so for Gil, what boons should I look for?

#

merciful end?

gray apex
#

yes

icy knoll
#

me is the best

#

divine strike is safe (deadly reversal is good), tidal/blade dash only is fun, smair is good as always, gilga has options

austere loom
#

honestly,I got annoyed when Asterius only commented on the fists and didn't give the phrase

icy knoll
#

none of those options are very good, mind you, but still options

austere loom
#

surprised he did so after I went to him on the next run with Beowulf

icy knoll
#

oh yeah and drunken strike works well for a hangover build

austere loom
#

hoh, interesting

icy knoll
#

take the standard dio duos, with ares, artemis, and aphro

austere loom
#

also wait

#

is fish rarity decided by a "timing" score?

icy knoll
#

you either get "catch" or "perfect catch"

#

catch (iirc) has 50/50 odds to be common or rare, while perfect catch has 50/50 odds to be rare or legendary

#

and perfect catch is determined by timing

austere loom
#

hmm, so I assume I need to reel em in as soon as I hear the ring

icy knoll
#

yeah
covering the bait with my finger is useful, only focus on the white flash

austere loom
#

I just use the sound

#

helps free my mind to maximize reflexes

mint coral
austere loom
#

I thought you needed to bring the fists to him as well

#

not just once

iron osprey
#

ayp

#

ayo

#

i just got a hermes boon with the lambent plume maxed

#

and it didnt unlock the thing

#

like

#

his favor

void vigil
#

if you got other new dialogue (indicated by two beats when you pick up the boon) maybe that took priority

#

just try again

iron osprey
#

does that block me from it?

void vigil
#

no idea

#

if you only told him once he will eventually chime in again asking if you want him to speak again, and youll have the opportunity to tell him that you do

#

i dont know anyone that actually muted hermes, not even speedrunners, lol

iron osprey
#

fr? 💀

#

damn

#

idk it seemed useless cuz i was always skipping text

void vigil
#

i only started skipping text a long time after it started repeating itself, so idk

#

also a lot of stuff is obtained through text, like the other side of the mirror and the codex for example, so its important to talk to characters even if you skip

brisk trail
#

hi, inside keepsakes how can I unlock the hearths below?

hollow drum
#

Anyone know if turning invisible is suppose to happen on the final hit attack combo of the Guan Yu aspect?

latent moon
#

you have to use the ambrosia to do that

#

late/post game stuff

umbral parrot

I got charged shot at the start of the run evilRondo

#

Mirage shot in asphodel

#

I have just unlocked EM4, and using it this run

#

this will be intersting!!!

I did the heroes without losing acorn, for (i think) the first time! Yay

#

And... I beat dad in EM4!!

And it was my 100th run!

Very nice

#

Hi

#

I'm trying to think about new ideas

paper owl
#

why is there a gun in a game based on greek mythology

gray apex
#

Gods used guns

#

and rockets and whatnot

balmy knot
#

I do like how they hint though as to humans getting it and copying it to make our guns

#

Blew one of my friends who doesn't play this with that
'I'm gonna go kill rats with a automatic machine gun and rocket launcher'
'Oh you playing fallout?'
'Nope still Hades'
'What'

void vigil
#

open it to read

deep grotto
#

chicken gun

warm nimbus
#

is artemis or aphro better for rail special?

slim geyser
#

artemis (at least for eris)

warm nimbus
#

coolio

jovial rover
#

Hades has some dialogue after you fight EM4 where he talks about having 'forgotten his old strength' in response to Zagreus asking him if he'd been holding back before. Does anyone have a video of it? My search-fu is failing me. :(

heavy sigil
#

i got my first 5 sac

#

💀 does not feel good

iron osprey
#

yo i just talked with hades

#

and he gave me some administrative access?

#

something with summons?

mint coral
#

You can use your companions that work under hades on his fight now

#

(Than/Meg/Dusa/Achilles-Pat)

iron osprey
#

ohhh

#

ok thanks

brisk trail
#

a idea just popped into my head, what if we could challenge the gods like fight zeus, ares, aphrodite, etc. ofc this will be done on the surface and probably be dlc where you can somehow survive the earth and not die but its a interesting concept. Imagine fighting a god with their own powers, yes it can be done if you look at trial of the gods

uh prob athena keepsake for chance at athena dds

make sure you use sd before picking up athena boon

when i first read this i thought you were @lethal island

same penguin pfp

but yes it works against final boss

and the animation is cool

mint laurel
#

i just had it for trying to get fated list done

#

and the final boss just shattered in front of my eyes

mint coral
#

"reap what you sow"

simple knoll
#

somehow i passed the bone hydra and got through elysium and was halfway through the final boss' healthbar in this 13th run

#

it's hour long runs

tender cedar
#

how do i give ambrosia to meg? ive maxed the nectar alrdy

latent moon
#

you'll be able to give meg ambrosia after the credits roll

#

once that happens, i think you just have to find her in the lounge or something

slim geyser
#

no

#

thats wrong

#

theres just a specific dialouge thing that comes up

latent moon
#

oh oops lol

tender cedar
#

yeah definitely not after credits. just beat the story a while ago and i cant even interact with her

umbral parrot
#

From my experience, you dont need to worry about dialogues that much

#

Because they just come up as you play anyways 3HC_shrug

#

I just do another run if i dont seem to get one

umbral parrot
#

Does the 40% attack and movement speed pact apply to bosses as well?

#

I found myself having a way harder time with the heroes after using them bouldy

gray apex
#

Yes

#

Applies to everything

#

Takes a lot of practice

umbral parrot
#

Ohh

austere loom
#

managed to clear using Arthur and Gilgamesh

#

pretty fun once I got used to the rhythm

brisk trail
austere loom
#

man Gates of Erebus seem intimidating

#

finishing the game is one thing

#

but not getting hit?

#

also getting the perfect catch is tough

void vigil
#

there are some tricks to getting perfect catches, fish come in patterns

#

you can also listen for the sound instead of looking at the screen

#

also erebus is tougher the more you advance, so in tartarus its pretty easy but in elysium it wouldnt be worth taking especially with how much heat you need active to be able to enter

simple knoll
#

honestly elysium was a bit of a joke compared to asphodel

umbral parrot
#

You dont have to spoiler anything by the way, good for you to do though

dull dew
#

i got to the hades boss fight in like 4 hours of playtime, is that good or just normal, granted i had a VERY good run (lifesteal and a LOT of good boons)

gray apex
#

That's probably above average

dull dew
#

is it weird that meg was probably the hard boss for me?

gray apex
#

Well all of the bosses are kinda hard when you're still new and learning their movesets

dull dew
#

might just be because the only time I got to the other bosses other then meg was when I had completely broken boons

umbral parrot
#

You unlocked Guan yu in 4 hours of playtime? bouldy

Cursed slash

#

Sword hammer

umbral parrot

Ohh

I dont play sword, sorry PleadCry

#

good for you

why does everyone get their first win with cursed slash

I got my first win with the spear bouldy

It's just brainded

#

Does the Empowering Flight hammer buff even work on Zeus' shield's Blitz Disc?

#

It works for the first hit

Then you have to recall then throw your Special out to get the buff again

I was just doing this run for keys to unlock the gun so i can start upgrading aspects

#

zeus on zeus for me

umbral parrot
#

I might be being a little ingrate, but, I want more damage PleadCry

#

I want to do more damage than Beowulf does!

paper owl
#

what's the best non arthur sword aspect

hexed void
#

Best for what exactly? They do different things.

paper owl
#

best to start with

#

i have one blood and one ambrosia, and i am currently using sword

hexed void
#

The default sword isn't horrible at all

#

If you want more crit chance and don't care about dash strikes as much then you can unlock Nemesis

#

And if you prefer casting then you unlock Poseidon

paper owl
#

I am very much a dash enjoyer

#

dodge roll mechanics are some of the most fun mechanics in gaming, in my opinion

hexed void
#

You have to pump the default aspect up to 5 for Skelly's request anyway

Which duo boon should i go for on achilles?

The general strat for speedrunning Rama is starting with Zeus Special, it helps you deal with small enemies especially when grouped up, and Rama boonless attack is good enough for most of Tartarus especially with a good hammer, you're looking for Twin Shot or Triple Shot ideally as your first hammer, if none are offered you want Perfect Shot or Point-Blank Shot, you also want to start shaping up your god pool and getting some scaling, a non Common Aphro attack is very good and consistent damage output, always a good pick, Artemis is a good one too but personally if I see an Artemis I would try to get her Dash first as there arent a lot of good dashes specifically for Rama, Artemis is the best in slot here, if you see more Zeus you can go for Jolted/Double strike, Hermes for +Dashes or hyper delivery, Chaos can add some massive scaling to your attack/dash strike, which is quite good for bossing, another amazing combo you should try to look for and even force is Poseidon's Cast + Breaking Wave, known as the Styx shredder, Rama has a relatively slow charging attack and the Special isnt strong enough to one shot beefy styx enemies so you go for that combo, Breaking Wave creates a lot of wall slams due to the small styx rooms and makes enemies melt so you're pretty much entering the room, casting 3 or more times and everything vanishes without you having to use your attack or special

#

Rama is not straight forward to speedrun, it has some decent bossing but it's not too intuitive when it comes to clearing rooms quickly and efficiently so I recommend you watch some vods

#

Also worth using FO1 at first to get a feel for the timing and to not get hit as much since that's very punishing on Rama

#

And if it's not clear, always prioritize your second hammer, it's an important breakpoint for Rama, Perfect Point Blank are what you're looking for assuming you for Triple or Twin on the first, Twin Perfect is ideal and Triple Point Blank is ideal but either way it works because powershotting is what you should be doing when you have a good opening on a boss

#

With Triple you're more likely to be in range to make use of the shotgunning but you're also in a riskier spot so you let go of the attack more often without it being a powershot, which in would benefit from pointblank but not from perfect, and with Twin you're usually safe and comfy and have a bit of range so you cant always make use of Point blank unless you're actively aware of it

umbral parrot
#

I.. have a common aprhodite attack

#

I need to copy paste this somewhere... Thonk

#

Done!

#

Thanks alot for the help and information!! Yay

gray apex
#

Common Aphrodite attack is okay, it's just that the difference in rarity is big on it, like a lv5 common is equal to a lv1 epic, if you see a random Aphro in the pool just take her but dont expect a ton imo, roll once if you feel like it but the reason I take her a lot of the time is to put her in the pool so she gets offered often and you pray that you see her from a miniboss and have your cores filled so you get a Rare+ attack without rolling

#

And if things dont work out just Shackle

#

It's 100%

#

And if you get more Artemis after you pick up Dash and your attack slot is still open just take it

#

Then look for Mark PP

#

It's the next best one, and scales better with big chaos because of crits

😔 lost a 32 heat run due to time with hades very last phase with 1/4 hp left

#

if stupid witch rooms in tartarus didnt take a min each i would have gotten it

#

used all 5 mins in tartarus 😩

iron wolf
#

hi there i just got the ending as far as i know of the game but im pretty sure theres another one, how would i unlock the last ending?

latent moon
#

how many wins do you have?

#

i'm assuming 10 if you're asking i guess

#

to get the last ending, i'm pretty sure you need to get 3 stars on all the olympian god keepsakes

#

and then after that, you get some special dialogue and have to talk to all of the olympian gods again

heavy sigil
#

whats the next like major heat level after 32

#

i feel like im consistent with 32 enough to do harder heats

#

but idk where to go

#

preferably smth nah too much harder

slim geyser
#

i think 40 is the next major one? but I’d go like 35 and then 37 before that (not a heat player though dont take my word for anything)

heavy sigil
#

hm alr thanks

devout terrace
#

Heat bad

iron oyster
#

I wonder what sort of hell 64 would be

#

Oops

#

RI4 em4 with all those modifiers would be hell

#

I wonder if someone’s done it with a tas

gray apex
#

Baj did it routed

#

There is no TAS for Hades, atleast not developed enough to play full runs

reef zodiac
#

But it’s all super arbitrary ngl

#

Just run whatever heat you enjoy/are comfortable with/want to challenge yourself with

iron oyster

#

Apparently cp2 em4 is used to measure the precise time for a year

reef zodiac
#

Yeah don’t do that

#

Don’t do CP2 EM4 until at least 52 heat

#

Genuinely

#

Turns out 85,800hp is a lot of hp

umbral parrot
#

I lost with rama yesterday

#

What i learnt from that was.. Never picking explosive shot on Rama bouldy

chrome yoke
#

hi pancake

umbral parrot
#

It took like 3,5 seconds to power shot, even with the hammer that speeds up power shots and an attack speed boon from hermes Sad

#

Even though it did 1000+ damage

brisk trail
umbral parrot
#

I won my first EM4 fight with dad

#

I think the hard part is how he makes the screen go dark

#

And dad spamming boiling blood bouldy

reef zodiac
#

Obviously it’s hard

#

But I also just think it’s extremely poorly designed and imbalanced

reef zodiac
reef zodiac
#

You just can’t

umbral parrot
#

Also, there is something i dont understand with bow in general PleadCry

#

When i charge it up, it does more damage when i release it without charging it full and waiting a bit

#

Theres this thing that shines while im charging, and when i release it at a certain point it does more damage

#

Is that a bug or a mechanic?

gray apex
#

Yea

#

That's a mechanic

#

It's a powershot

#

It's the way you should be playing the bow

umbral parrot
#

No no

#

A power shot is when you just charge the shot to maximum right

gray apex
#

no

umbral parrot
#

Ohh

gray apex
#

When it shines and has a different sound when you release it

reef zodiac
#

Power shot is the thing that requires timing

umbral parrot
#

Ohhh

reef zodiac
#

You should (almost) always go for power shots

gray apex
#

You should also dash strike to make those charge quicker

reef zodiac
#

Always dash strike, almost always power shot

umbral parrot
#

Dont they do less damage when you dash?

gray apex
#

A little bit

reef zodiac
#

Yes but it’s way faster

gray apex
#

But they can scale better

reef zodiac
#

Like so so much faster

gray apex
#

Yea the actual dps is higher

umbral parrot
gray apex
#

And you can let them off more often as opposed to being interrupted mid way through a standing powershot

reef zodiac
#

Not only is the dps higher, but it gives you more control, maneuverability, and benefits from *dash strike bonuses

#

Yeah and they’re way easier to get away with

umbral parrot
#

I understand, thanks! Yay

reef zodiac
#

Especially on Rama

umbral parrot
#

1 more thing, do those get affected by dash strike boons?

gray apex
#

Yes

umbral parrot
gray apex
#

That's why they scale better

umbral parrot
gray apex
#

You can get attack buffs and dash strikes buffs both of which will help your damage

fresh steppe
gray apex
#

If you only do standing strikes then Dash strike bonuses dont do anything for you

fresh steppe
#

thats really rough

reef zodiac
umbral parrot
#

Its so weird

fresh steppe
#

its been a while since i did em4 but thats the most standout thing about the fight that i disliked

reef zodiac
#

Yeah EM4 can be fun casually but for challenging runs it super sucks

fresh steppe
#

em4+Hl5+FO2+HS+whatever other pact option makes it so much harder

#

that sounds like hell

reef zodiac
#

CP2 especially

#

But yeah high heat EM4 is rough

fresh steppe
#

oh right!

#

i forgot about calisthenics program

reef zodiac
#

But on some weapons it’s more manageable than others

fresh steppe
#

stuff like shield i guess?

reef zodiac
#

Yes

#

Beowulf especially

#

I did EM4 for my 50-53 heat Beo runs

fresh steppe
#

yeah beowulf is a good weapon

#

lotsa good damage

reef zodiac
#

It’s the only weapon I seem to be decent with at high heat bouldy

#

Although I have been on break from high heat since I’ve been grinding Fresh File Hades

#

Just been spending hours and hours on the Hades fight

#

I haven’t opened my normal files in a full week now bouldy

fresh steppe
#

ah I see

twin thistle
#

monodash zag sword bouldy

reef zodiac
#

After putting many hours into FF Hades fight

#

It’s honestly an incredible bossfight

#

It almost feels like the fight was designed for mono-dash ME sword lmao

#

It’s like perfect

#

It was frustrating for a while before I started to get it though

#

And it’s still very unforgiving

gray apex
#

It is pretty good

#

Watching pros do that fight flawlessly like Nitro or Vorime is just crazy satisfying

reef zodiac
#

Definitely

#

But it all felt totally out of reach for me

languid dragon
#

how do you unlock non hidden aspects?

reef zodiac
#

And I didn’t quite realize how good the fight really was

reef zodiac
#

Just spend titan blood to buy them? Or do you mean how to unlock the ability to view aspects?

gray apex
#

Buy base weapons using keys then do a run to refresh the house seed

#

They should show up

umbral parrot
languid dragon
#

when does the unseen ones soundtrack play?

gray apex
#

EM4 hades

languid dragon
#

is there a chance for the normal soundtrack to play there
?

#

last time i did em4 and reached hades

#

it was the usual soundtrack

raw herald
#

What phase did you get to

languid dragon
#

2nd

raw herald
#

Keep playing

languid dragon
#

oh

#

i think i get you

gray apex
#

Third phase is when it starts

languid dragon
#

yep

#

i'll try again i g

#

ty

gray apex
#

Been a while since I listened to that

#

That big relief when the music stops and you win is pretty gud bouldy

#

Nowadays I just have some calm music going in the background and no nerves at all bouldy

umbral parrot
#

Also, what does seeded exactly mean?

gray apex
#

Seeded means you have prior knowledge of the run

fast willow
#

so this whole time i was losing to EM4 because the music is too intense, not because im bad at the game

gray apex
#

It could be anywhere from knowing just what the first chamber reward is to having a full route through the whole thing

gray apex
#

Definitely

gray apex
#

I mean I think the music is a big part of it

#

But if I’m playing like Beowulf I don’t care either way bouldy

umbral parrot
#

Another thing

#

Are these runs sped up

gray apex
#

No

umbral parrot
#

Or how do they charge bull rush so fast

gray apex
#

They initiate it with a dash strike

#

And Charged Shot is a big deal

#

You can watch Cgull’s youtube vid about routes and how seeds and rng work in this game

paper owl
#

what’s the best random occurrence that could happen?

gray apex
#

skipping all 3 biomes bouldy

surely epic swift strike is good enough

it doesnt work on dash strikes

no

it only works on standing strikes

You are dash striking instead of normal attacks right?

I'm just not used to how much time you spend not moving I guess

I just go super sayan dragon balls

raw herald

What special do you have

ares

raw herald
#

I always liked dio special

patent mesa
#

eh I took owl for asphodel

raw herald
#

Can get numbing sensation which helps you not die

patent mesa
#

that's why had to pick up ares

#

nvm I got curse of longing, now it's gg

#

had to purge it, run over :(

elfin osprey
#

Its never over

patent mesa
#

it's impossible to win without the best duo in the game curse of longing

elfin osprey
#

If you can win whitout synergy

#

You can win whit a messed up build

patent mesa
#

god I'm a mess with rama

#

but two sacked so whatever

#

athena cast, call, or sure footing?

fresh steppe
#

Call probs

#

At least that what I’d take

that was my instinct

#

grabbed double pom from styx that targeted athena call so we good

#

I don't know how to use this aspect

raw herald
patent mesa
#

#

what's considered optimal 32+ heat rama build? I just went aphro attack athena dash like a chump with god's pride

#

is it maybe heart rend idk

raw herald
#

Nah

elfin osprey
#

I have life steal

raw herald
#

Probably high rarity pommed aphro attack, hunter dash

elfin osprey
#

Gg ez

raw herald
#

And either Zeus or dio special

#

Similar to anyheat tbh

patent mesa
#

zeus special for smoldering sounds nice

#

whats aphro dio duo again

raw herald
#

Low tolerance

#

Allows 8 stacks of hangover

patent mesa
#

sounds decent

signal aspen
#

a little more than decent

patent mesa
#

although I would've been dead entering elysium without divine dash so idk

raw herald
#

You can comfortably do dc2 on Rama

patent mesa
#

oh forgot about that

#

FO1 TD3 I assume

raw herald
#

Dw my Rama heat pb uses fiery presence

#

Lol

patent mesa
#

cracked

#

I remember your 50 heat passion flare snow burst running FF

raw herald
#

Yeah oops

patent mesa
#

tbh I almost feel even then that FF is better

#

if you get charged shot you kinda need curse on attack to keep PS up

#

then you might not even get snow burst or any good curse

shut palm
#

Guys help I’ve gotten 6 Zeus boons and only 2 others how is this happening

patent mesa
#

although that was just my 40 heat passion flare experience

#

lol lucky

#

tartarus splitting bolt??

shut palm
#

Oh man I wish I knew what you meant by that

patent mesa
#

aka getting zeus legendary by the end of first floor

#

which is basically gg on anything that isn't awful with zeus

shut palm
#

Oh

#

No 😭

patent mesa
#

eh if you've gotten six zeus already you either got his legendary already or his pool is so exhausted you'll get it soon

shut palm
#

I hope so

#

Or I just never get a Zeus boon again

#

With my luck it’s probably that one

#

Oh

#

Holy heck

#

I got a Poseidon boon

#

Is this sweet release???

patent mesa

chaos shield is the best shield aspect

what else could you ask for

I contest the last point

raw herald

Multiplicative shield special damage 👍

signal aspen
#

the special damage is so good

#

i think its like 50 per shield

im surprised it didnt get nerfed in the 1.0 release

patent mesa
#

wait are you actually an olympian favor user

#

yes no

patent mesa
#

whew

it would be kinda funny if i beat 50 heat or got sub 7 with olympian favor tho

you wouldn't have done that with hera right

It’s possible to be hit for 155

Is your style to die to Hades?

well you're getting hit for 50 and you probably have like 100 hp

problem with sword lifesteal is that you don't even have a good safe damager

unlike guan yu

cursed slash is probably my pick for worst hammer tbh

that or flaring spin/repulse shot

elfin osprey

I like playing around AA

Main thing for me is that cursed slash doesnt apply on dash strikes

cruel thrust and hoarding slash is dumpster tier too

It stops you from being able to empty dash after a dash strike

patent mesa
#

weapon aspect

elfin osprey
#

Wich one can have most value out of it .-.

patent mesa
#

if you wanna use standing attacks then arthur

reef zodiac
elfin osprey
#

Never play league of legend i see

reef zodiac
#

You mean just basic sword combo?

elfin osprey
#

Anyway

elfin osprey
reef zodiac
patent mesa
#

arthur is the only sword that should use attack combo

elfin osprey
reef zodiac
#

Hidden sword aspect

elfin osprey
#

Only have the 4start one

patent mesa
#

good aspect

#

think it's a little overrated though

reef zodiac
#

For every other sword your combo should be special -> dash strike -> dash strike

reef zodiac
patent mesa
#

at least it's not zag sword lol

reef zodiac
#

I still don’t get why Hestia isn’t as popular among new players as Arthur and Chiron are

patent mesa
#

simple: you need to reload

elfin osprey
#

I only have the 4 start one rn .-.

fresh steppe
#

gun can feel weird to use for new players i guess

signal aspen
#

Hestia is hard to use efficiently

reef zodiac
#

But 400 damage power shots

elfin osprey
#

Also i dont think i will ever do heat

#

Too many buttons

patent mesa
#

also people hate gun not staggering

fresh steppe
#

i still dont really get how to use efficientlly, but i havent really used it much anyways

signal aspen
patent mesa
#

that's why new players are fist addicted

elfin osprey
#

Its get harder but you dont even get harder yurself its not that good

reef zodiac
#

They could just reload -> attack -> repeat and would win at low heat with very little effort

patent mesa
#

true

reef zodiac
#

That’s basically what I did with Chiron except Chiron is less safe, less range, less damage

patent mesa
#

I remember seeing so many posts about how insane butterfly achievement

elfin osprey
#

Guess i stay whit the sword till then?

patent mesa
#

picked up hestia, turned on high confidence, left tartarus with 24/30% on butterfly

#

it's op tbh

elfin osprey
#

.-.

mint coral
#

2% per chamber and there are 12 no?

#

Tho you need no free rooms at all

reef zodiac
#

Is it? I think even if you skip shop and story rooms and chaos and get no fountains then it’s like 13 combats? Yeah ok I guess it’s possible

patent mesa
#

no midshop, forced fountain, erebus last chamber

reef zodiac
#

Counting Meg

mint coral
#

Oh yeah erebus extension too

patent mesa
#

yep hitless on fury

reef zodiac
#

But yeah Hestia is stupid broken for hitless

elfin osprey
#

Guess i stay whit the sword till i unlock the other weap?

patent mesa
#

I'm considering trying full hitless on it

reef zodiac
#

I thought it was just the best option but it turns out that hitless on Hestia is way way easier than anything else

reef zodiac
patent mesa
#

do you run standard hestia or butterfly?

reef zodiac
#

I don’t use butterfly

patent mesa

whew good
