If you pick up either of the dd refill boons while your sd is gone you get a dd then sd refills next rooms

#

So you have a dd + your sd

tight basin
#

and when you die the sd gets used first

random relic
#

yeah

proper furnace
#

Can also get dds from the legendary chaos boon

#

Tho thats a rare case

lucid prairie
#

the what now

tight basin
#

chaos can give you a DD lol

#

super low chance but it can happen

dreamy prism
#

chaos has an absurdly difficult boon

lucid prairie
#

THEY CAN WHAAAAAAT?

proper furnace
#

Is their legendary boon

lucid prairie
proper furnace
#

You need any other chaos boon first

random relic
#

just normal ones

tight basin
#

requires a chaos boon before you get the chance of seeing it tho

dreamy prism
lucid prairie
#

oh

dreamy prism
#

all chaos boons are random curse + random buff

lucid prairie
#

I just thought, since it’s legendary, it would have a specific super difficult curse

tight basin
#

tmw you accidentally click +atk% for -5hp per atk

random relic
#

cursed tart moment

dreamy prism
tight basin
#

i think the game's just like "hey look here's this just dont die lol"

random relic
#

music to my ears

proper furnace
lucid prairie
#

wait

#

20 minute run?

dreamy prism
#

yeah

random relic
#

ye

lucid prairie
#

with everything costing… 80% more?

dreamy prism
#

you can do TD2 to start and practice

#

CF2 optional, some people despise it

random relic
#

cf2 sucks ass

#

i hate it

#

but its an objectively ok pact

lucid prairie
#

i could never

#

I rely so much on Charon

#

wait, when it says purge one boon, do you still get money from the purge

random relic
#

yes

dreamy prism
#

thankfully

lucid prairie
#

I’ll try convenience fee this time around and see how this run goes

random relic
#

uc is good until ri lol

lucid prairie
#

fighting regular dad will be so weird

random relic
dreamy prism
#

UC is also the pact with the highest ease to annoyingness ratio

random relic
#

nah cf worse

dreamy prism
#

it's mostly free heat but man it sucks to use

random relic
dreamy prism
#

see people run high heat with CF0

random relic
#

dark foresight is so broken

dreamy prism
#

but no one does with UC0

random relic
#

uc gets really really sad at very high heat because your build starts to kinda fall apart lol

lucid prairie
#

wait

#

this is 38

random relic
#

add mm

lucid prairie
#

already done

#

I love MM

random relic
#

send the pact?

dreamy prism
#

show your pact

dreamy prism
#

lucy is so fun

random relic
#

lol nice

#

i dont like luci

#

feels sticky

dreamy prism
#

uhhh user error

random relic
#

idk man have you played the aspect?

plain river
#

Yes

random relic
#

stickiest aspect

plain river
#

💪💪💪

#

Luci best aspect

random relic
#

cleanest aspect is flurry shot hera

#

its so beautiful

strange lark
#

Aren't you on kbm

random relic
#

shut up

random relic
#

its clean when i watch croven play it

lucid prairie
#

holy quality issues

random relic
#

js1 hs?

strange lark
#

So em2 fo1

lucid prairie
#

No I mean I was looking for 40

strange lark
#

Oh

#

Uh

#

Yeah js1 hs

lucid prairie
#

but I’ll try it again

#

now that I’m probably better at this game

random relic
#

thats what id do

random relic
#

uh internet is dying lol

strange lark
dreamy prism
#

ew DC1

random relic
#

no em4 = less dad pots

strange lark
#

And lava

#

But ye

dreamy prism
#

I would prefer AP1 tbh

strange lark
#

Nah

random relic
#

nah

dreamy prism
#

rude

random relic
#

this is hr chiron

#

needs some boons

dreamy prism
#

fine

#

I'm a HS hater so I would prefer JS1 DC1

iron barn
#

hs is optimal so you can die faster to heal with sd

random relic
#

oh and uh

#

when you "reset your sd" after a room

#

that hurts a lot

dreamy prism
#

lol

random relic
#

i love that channel

strange lark
#

I have the opposite of that

random relic
#

what happened at the end???

lucid prairie
#

wait

#

I expected touch of styx to be 340

#

IT’S ONLY 99?

strange lark
random relic
#

its ridiculously good

random relic
strange lark
#

Idk

random relic
#

wack

lucid prairie
#

Does Jury Summons affect Erebus as well

strange lark
#

Yes

lucid prairie
#

as in, no hit

#

oh cool this should be fine then

strange lark
#

I believe it does

random relic
#

best erebus reward is heart ngl

lucid prairie
#

that was fast

dreamy prism
#

touch of styx is op as hell

strange lark
#

Centaur souls better touch of styx

random relic
#

if you have like 2hp lmao

dreamy prism
#

early erebus chambers can be super gaming at high heat tbh

#

esp double hearts yeah

random relic
#

yeah i need to take them more

#

double hearts are op

#

if no ri2 that can be like 150 hp c3 tart

#

insane

strange lark
#

High rarity boons from god's that don't help your build tho

#

Insane

random relic
#

oh yeah those are totally a lot much better

lucid prairie
#

Ran out of time at dad

#

This will work though

#

if i just get better satyr sack luck

#

+if i finally get heart rend dammit

cunning urchin
#

Stay close to an obstacle and dash away to the side or towards Asterius at the last moment. He won't be able to turn around in time.

Stay between two obstacles and dash towards Asterius at the last moment. He'll try to turn around and crash into either obstacle.

Stay close to an obstacle and dash through the obstacle at the last moment. He'll crash into it, but it's also the riskiest option because if you mistime your dash, he'll just move around the obstacle and be right behind you.

If he misses the obstacle with the first two methods, he'll still have to turn around, so you'll have time to get away and try again.

#

Theseus also counts as an obstacle.

lucid prairie
#

Oooo the second one looks good

iron barn
#

is stygian soul or infernal soul better for beo flood flare

plain river
#

Infernal soul

iron barn
#

ok

plain river
#

Stygian soul is really only used for trippy flare builds

lucid prairie
#

Infernal soul

#

oh he already answered

plain river
#

😎

turbid needle
#

Any build ideas for new players? Trying to get a completion

lucid prairie
#

ok so I know you guys already told me the answer to this but ever since I switched from the Mirror of Night perk that gives you higher chance of rares…

#

my key boons have been common

#

every time

turbid needle
#

I have all of them

plain river
#

Higher chance at rares bouldy

turbid needle
#

Whatever is easiest tbh 💀

plain river
#

What weapon do you like the most

turbid needle
#

The bow

plain river
#

which bow aspect

turbid needle
#

Chiron or Hera

plain river
#

So for chiron, aphrodite attack and then either artemis special or dionysus special work really well, then hope to pick up concentrated and relentless volley

#

For hera, you’ll need some else who knows how to use it better than me

turbid needle
#

What would you say is the most consistent weapon

plain river
#

Tbh I think zeus shield is really consistent

#

Or are you asking between chiron and hera

turbid needle
#

Whatever one

#

Any weapon tbh

plain river
#

Brb

random relic
lucid prairie
#

huh

plain river
#

Unless going for duos

lucid prairie
#

(That’s exactly what I’m doing)

plain river
#

Duos plural

#

If you just need one run the increased purple odds

random relic
#

if youre forcing them through keepsakes it should be like 50% epic if using pride

fallow juniper
#

Things that Hades Spear would want to pick up?

plain river
#

Braincells

#

Uhhh

#

Arte strike probably

fallow juniper
#

not for a speedrun, is just for fun

proper furnace
#

Exploding luncher + charged skewer

#

Serrated edge, quick-massive spin

#

Boons arty/aphro works as usual

tight basin
#

twin shot gaming

leaden mauve
#

whats a good attack boon for eris?

tight basin
#

Zeus

leaden mauve
#

aight aight

dreamy prism
#

zeus zeus and zeus

#

and dio kinda

cunning urchin
#

Yeah, like literally changes by 2x or 3x.

iron barn
#

wait

#

zag shield bonus is base damage right

#

so is that a permanent multiplicative 60% atk damage boost

#

also does it apply to the bull rush

proper furnace
#

No

iron barn
#

Zad

#

also why does lucifer have like,,, 800 unique hammers while the other hidden aspects only have one cryaboutit

plain river
#

uh

#

It has like 4

proper furnace
#

Cuz luci takes away so many normal hammers

iron barn
#

true

plain river
#

Eternal chamber kinda delta

proper furnace
#

Dwlta but you dont get the iframes

plain river
#

So I’m doing that talos run Inwas talking about

#

Colussus knuckle, quake cutter, or concentrated knuckle

#

I think it’s quake cutter but that might be useless if pos special just knocks them out of range anyways

iron barn
#

colossus might be good tho since the special makes you pretty vulnerable

#

also quake cutter gets cancelled by dashes

plain river
#

I guess it’s colossus

cunning urchin
plain river
#

Uh

#

I was asking for stupid build ideas

#

Then it popped into my mind

#

And uh

#

It’s going horrendously well

cunning urchin
lucid prairie
#

What happens if you stack Merciful End with… whatever Aphro+Ares is

plain river
#

Uh

strange lark
#

the aphro ares duo becomes useless

#

not like it was good in the first place bouldy

plain river
#

There isn’t really a reason to have it when running merciful end

#

Because you’re reapplying doom faster then it can fall a second time

lucid prairie
#

Also if you’re going for the Exposed boon should you run submission doing it?

proper furnace
#

Wut?

strange lark
#

yes

lucid prairie
#

Since you’re constantly applying doom and then also exposed

proper furnace
#

But what is submission?

strange lark
#

are you talking about privileged status bouldy

lucid prairie
#

why did I call it submission

#

I’m foolish

proper furnace
#

Answwr is nah, ME is already a lot of boons to come across

plain river
#

Hi foolish I’m Shackle Best Keepsake

proper furnace
#

You dont wanna add another for a 15% increase over ff

cunning urchin
#

Any time.

lucid prairie
#

wait, privileged status is only +15%?

proper furnace
#

+40%

proven osprey
#

Not it's the difference between PS and FF

cunning urchin
#

Family Favorite ends up being +25% in a typical run.

lucid prairie
#

isn’t FF usually 15-20

#

oh

proper furnace
#

Hermes counts

cunning urchin
#

4 god pool + Lord Hermes.

proven osprey
#

25, 4 gods and Hermie

plain river
lucid prairie
#

Hermes has never felt like an Olympian in the game to me for obvious reasons

plain river
#

It’s cuz swift strike and swift flourish aren’t core boons

lucid prairie
#

No it’s just he feels more like Hammer to me

#

except obviously not being weapon specific

iron barn
#

he is basically

#

the game treats him differently

#

e.g. unaffected by god keepsakes, guaranteed 2/3 in your run

plain river
#

Can only get him twice then 50:50 for third hermes boon in styx

tight basin
#

50/50 for hermes vs anvil in styx i thnk right

plain river
#

Yup

balmy echo
#

since i started playing hades

#

i hated casts

#

but i saw potential in them

#

and i started to read all the boons

#

and i made my build

#

then all i had to do was to get it in the game

#

and now... i did it

#

and its overpowered

#

look at this beauty

proper furnace
#

blessed

balmy echo
#

just spam cast and when youre out of it.... spam special to get the cast back

#

i am sad now the run is over and i cant use it anymore... but i recommend it to others to try it out

balmy echo
#

huh?

random relic
#

everyone knows fully loaded is impossible to get on cast builds

balmy echo
#

?

random relic
#

its a joke, fully loaded is one of the best boons you can get for cast builds but its like almost impossible to get

#

so even if you go for it you never end up getting it

balmy echo
#

ohhh i was scared rn XD like: wait... im playing on the switch... how could i even cheat?

random relic
#

lmao

balmy echo
#

exploit?

proper furnace
#

im a cheat (speedrunning modpack) player lol

random relic
#

nice cheat engine

dreamy prism
#

I'm a cheat (cheat engine) player

proper furnace
#

tho i cant configure certain settings so i havent seen Than in ages

dreamy prism
#

ew are you an RTA user

random relic
#

im a cheat (high clocket rates) player

proper furnace
#

and im stuck with triple shots for zag/rama bow ron

proper furnace
random relic
#

weird

proper furnace
#

im on switch

dreamy prism
#

bruh

random relic
#

oh lmao

#

wait you can install modpack on switch???

proper furnace
random relic
#

i didnt even know that was possible lmao

dreamy prism
#

RTA being modpack default is depressing

random relic
#

yeah i thought i had bad than luck for so long

#

little did i know

proper furnace
#

wait is the preset stored in the save?

#

like if you save igt preset and someone else with the mod uses they also start on igt preset

random relic
#

probably

iron barn
#

can splash dash backstab

proper furnace
#

No

iron barn
fallow juniper
#

Ricochet Fire or Explosive Fire for Hestia aspect Rail?

dreamy prism
fallow juniper
#

Does the rico target carry the empowered shot damage from Hestia or no?

plain river
#

Ye

fallow juniper
#

Nice.

plain river
#

uhh

fallow juniper
#

+2% per chamber without taking damage vs +100% while not empowered by boon.

strange lark
#

no

fallow juniper
#

Well, I guess that depends on what boon on attack would be opened up with butterfly

plain river
#

tbh both are horrible shackle best keepsake

dreamy prism
#

don't use butterfly it sucks

plain river
#

Shackle is for kool kids exclusively

strange lark
#

butterfly is good if you like things like zeus attack hestia

#

or zeus cast beowulf

dreamy prism
#

sus

random relic
#

amgugos

tight basin
#

for achilles phalanx build, should i prioritize lightning phalanx or parting shot

#

i also have blinding flash for more backstab damage which would scale nicely with parting shot

valid dagger
tight basin
#

Fair enough

#

Although isn't it not risky because phalanx shot is so big that it backstabs or did I misread that from somewhere

valid dagger
#

What you said is very noticeable only on Hera

#

Because the shot spawns at the tip pf the arrow

#

And the arrow is usually in the middle of the enemy

#

So it ends up hitting from a lot of sides

#

Which is why you see Phalanx backstabbing from the front

#

On Hera

tight basin
#

Oh I see got it

wraith helm
#

whats the best build for the aspect of guan yu?

lucid oar
#

Charged skewer is pretty good, any % special boon works well

#

I like Poseidon or Artemis

#

Also merciful end is good

iron barn
#

always consider athena on attack

#

makes your spins crazy

#

other athena boons are good in general just to get hit less

#

since low health

plain river
#

poseidon attack on guan-yu is my favourite

iron barn
#

Doesnt that knock enemies away from the spin though

plain river
#

Yes

#

And?

iron barn
#

then you're going to hit them like,,, once

#

don't you want them to stay there and take damage?

plain river
#

If I want to kill little dudes I’ll just use special

#

bosses aren’t affected by knockback nearly as much

#

I kinda just build lucifer super soaker on guan-yu and everything works out fine

iron barn
#

lol

lucid prairie
#

Alright I have one obvious question and another not so obvious question

#
  1. does shatter work on bosses at all
plain river
#

Uh

#

Demeter legendary?

#

If we’re talking about the demeter legendary yes they get executed

#

it’s actually really funny

#

Not something to build for though

#

If it comes up incidentally during your run and the other boon options aren’t better then it sure take it

lucid prairie
#

oh it DOES?

proper furnace
#

assuming dem has better options thanthink

lucid prairie
proper furnace
#

also yeah Dem even does a finisher line when executing the bosses

#

is amazing

lucid prairie
#

and 2a) is Poseidon a good choice for attack if you wanna go aggro with shield

lucid prairie
proper furnace
#

tempest strike is never good

plain river
#

it effectively reduces boss hp by 10% aside from hades

lucid prairie
#

oh it doesn’t work on Hades?

#

makes sense

strange lark
#

it does

plain river
#

it does

proper furnace
#

it works on the 2nd life

#

not first

lucid prairie
#

ah, I see

plain river
#

Which means effectively like 5% reduction I think?

proper furnace
#

uh have you fought the em4 version of dad?

lucid prairie
#

multiple times

plain river
proper furnace
#

i think there it only works for the 3rd life

lucid prairie
#

probably

strange lark
#

yeah

lucid prairie
#

also is it just me as a Chiron player or does 3rd phase start out with less health than 1st or 2nd

proper furnace
#

the only time i managed to get winter harvest for em4 the dumb beo nuked the hp making it useless lmao

#

it does

plain river
#

So em4 about 3.33% reduction

dreamy prism
#

god tier legendary

#

way better than splitting bolt

lucid prairie
#

splitting bolt?

strange lark
#

worst part of the legendary is that you need demeter boons

dreamy prism
#

lol

proper furnace
#

looks>being most useful

lucid prairie
#

I only know the effects of like 3 legendaries

proper furnace
lucid prairie
#

Black Metal, Fully Loaded and Sweet Surrender

proper furnace
#

lightning attacks throw a 40 dmg orb

lucid prairie
#

oh yeah that one

proper furnace
#

2 of those arent legendaries

lucid prairie
#

what

dreamy prism
#

I think it's the best legendary tbh

proper furnace
# lucid prairie what

black metal increases sife of blade rifts, sweet surrender is enemies take more dmg if weakened

lucid prairie
#

oh then I meant whatever those legendaries are ACTUALLY called

proper furnace
#

viscius cycle/unhealty fixation are the legendaries

lucid prairie
#

there it is

proper furnace
#

probably typed wrong the first one

plain river
#

Vicious

lucid prairie
#

oh wait I also know the funny fishing Poseidon one

strange lark
#

scam cycle

proper furnace
#

huge catch best legendary

plain river
#

way better then second wave or whatever it’s called

strange lark
#

it honestly is

#

second wave doesnt do anything

plain river
dreamy prism
#

second wave is pretty good isn't it

#

I always assumed it was

strange lark
#

no

#

it only does something when you have sea storm

dreamy prism
#

does it not actually knockback further

lucid prairie
#

It does

#

It’s just not useful

#

Because there isn’t a real… point

#

The first shove away already pushes ‘em away far enough

strange lark
#

now your enemies are even farther away from you

lucid prairie
#

this is my first time looking at divine protection

#

this sh*t looks broken as hell

strange lark
#

its aight

dreamy prism
#

eh it's decent

lucid prairie
#

It’s like Acorn but like 10 more times

dreamy prism
#

I'll sometimes take brilliant riposte just in case it shows up if athena has nothing else to offer

#

which is very often the case

strange lark
#

yeah the real problem is that you need brilliant riposte

lucid prairie
#

Also (as one can tell, I have a lot of questions about the game) what’s the math exactly for rush delivery

dreamy prism
#

it decreases your clear time by 50%

strange lark
#

x% of your movement speed is extra damage

#

so like with hyper sprint you get 100% movement speed

lucid prairie
#

and that extra damage is applied additively like everything else?

dreamy prism
#

yeah

lucid prairie
#

That’s awesome

dreamy prism
#

that's why RD is so broken

strange lark
#

no it doesnt hyper sprint isnt actually movement speed

lucid prairie
#

wh- well that just- that just wasn’t necessary at all I mean c’mon you didn’t need to do that

strange lark
#

im joking lmao

dreamy prism
#

hyper sprint is a hoax invented by big hermes to sell us more plumes

iron barn
#

They are disgusting

lucid prairie
#

I mean it has a special effect during the boost in run speed so I thought it was different

iron barn
#

This was a big one. Sad we miss the 0-cycle Power Couple, but this run was pretty insane otherwise. Thanks to Pseudonym7777 for creating this route, Paradigmsort for making the tools he used, and Wmic, Latt, cgull, and Museus for optimizing manips and competing to push the time down alongside me.

There's more time to save, but sub-2:50 was my g...

▶ Play video
dreamy prism
#

oh that's just sturdy

proper furnace
#

as a note, movement speed is multiplicative

dreamy prism
#

and that's why zagsword is considered the best aspect

#

multiplicative speed buff with RD

strange lark
#

it honestly is

#

just get 10 ichors and thats like 3000% movement speed

lucid prairie
#

I have so many more questions

#

after watching just four (4) minutes of that speedrun

#

my biggest being: why are there some sections why he waits out dialogue/waits at the well of Charon

strange lark
#

its part of the route

iron barn
#

thats rng manipulation

strange lark
#

ye

lucid prairie
#

Chamber rewards are decided on a timer basis?

strange lark
#

no

lucid oar
#

Voice lines

lucid prairie
#

oh

#

to skip them faster?

#

also if the run’s seeded then what RNG is there to manipulate

lucid oar
#

All of it

strange lark
#

seeded usually means first couple of chambers

#

so they manipulate the rest

lucid prairie
#

I’m assuming they also seed the Satyr sack finds

#

so they always find it on second

strange lark
#

yeah

lucid prairie
#

Got it

#

oh yeah also is the “Minimum Rarity: Epic” thing ever worth the setting up for any heat above 30

strange lark
#

you could set it up

#

but i dont really see why you would when you can just get epic boons bouldy

lucid prairie
#

thanks autocorrect

iron barn
#

does exclusive access actually affect duo/legendary chance

strange lark
#

I don't think you'd ever go for it unless the game gives you Poseidon and dio

iron barn
#

unfortunate

lucid prairie
#

DUDE ME WITH FULL SETUP IS NUTS

#

even more so with ruthless reflex and maim

#

is maim also applied additively?

#

this question goes out to all aspect attack buffs

proper furnace
#

yeah

lucid prairie
#

is the (aspect of) achilles build also merciful end

strange lark
#

No

lucid prairie
#

Oh cool

#

What... is it

#

Isn't there a place for all aspects' best builds or something

#

iirc there was at some point

strange lark
#

Usually Poseidon dash, are cast, Artemis attack, and hunting blades

strange lark
#

Ares cast

lucid prairie
#

does achilles not have anything good on its own?

strange lark
#

Idk man 150* cast damage kinda good

#

%

#

Bteh

random relic
#

also flurry jab

strange lark
#

Breh

#

Yeah flurry jav

#

Jab

random relic
#

its like half cast half attack based

valid dagger
#

The Cast is a lot more for the bossing

random relic
#

but yeah 150% additive is insane

#

bc cast damage is hard to come by

lucid prairie
#

understood

#

on an entirely different note, does draining cutter apply to maim kills

strange lark
#

I don't think so

#

But I don't know why you would use either of those bouldy

lucid prairie
#

my options are breaching cross, conc knuckle, and that

#

and I'm on gilga so the second is a no

proper furnace
#

breaching cross always

lucid prairie
proper furnace
#

yeah

lucid prairie
#

I usually don't struggle at all with minibosses

proper furnace
#

is all fists best hammer by far

lucid prairie
#

and I see no other use

proper furnace
#

armored enemies cant be stunned

strange lark
#

900% big number

proper furnace
#

less time being armored = more stun

random relic
#

900% is insane

proper furnace
#

and yeah 900% is kinda a lot

random relic
#

you like 1 or 2 shot armor

lucid prairie
#

wait wait wait wait wait wait

#

90.....0?????

random relic
#

yes thats what it says

lucid prairie
#

?!?!?!

proper furnace
#

you have the hammer choice up still no? is right there in the tooltip

strange lark
#

It's actually doubles when you get mirage shot so it can go up to 1800% bouldy

lucid prairie
proper furnace
#

is so strong it was nerfed

proper furnace
#

from 1000% to 900%

strange lark
#

🗿

random relic
lucid prairie
#

wh- why would they do that

#

that doesn't seem balanced at all

valid dagger
#

Don't worry you're playing fists

random relic
#

its not like an amazing hammer

valid dagger
lucid prairie
#

oh yeah also is Rush Kick as good as I think it is (very)

random relic
#

its just that fists has bad hammers

proper furnace
#

you need all help possible bouldy

Gilga dash strikes deal 20 damage so you kinda need it

random relic
#

and thats the best of the bunch

proper furnace
valid dagger
#

Just a meme

#

Makes your Special worse bouldy

lucid prairie
#

worse? but it autotargets the enemy

#

and with gilga you can immediately get out if you're in danger at that point

strange lark
#

Idk about that gilga is pretty slow bouldy

#

And wdym it auto targets enemies

valid dagger
#

Shorter dashes

strange lark
#

That are shortened and have longer cooldowns

lucid prairie
lucid prairie

30% less

30% less iframes

lucid prairie
#

oh

random relic
#

still good for boon% tho

strange lark
#

Just use Achilles bouldy

#

Or zag sword if you are a gamer

random relic
#

bruh

proper furnace
#

we all have been a zag sword gamer at least once

strange lark
#

Not me

#

💪 🥶

proper furnace
#

so you swapped weapons before the first run?

#

gamer

#

or like bigp who installed a 100% file asap to speedrun

strange lark
#

Died before I could use it

lucid prairie

Yeah

random relic
#

wtf

strange lark
#

That's where bigp moment comes from

proper furnace
#

bigp moments are a thing

#

they are amazing

strange lark
#

Cuz he doesn't know basic stuff about the game

proper furnace
#

"this game has a plot?"

random relic
#

bought the game and decided to speedrun from run 1

strange lark
#

And now has beo wr

random relic
#

thats amazing

random relic
lucid prairie
#

does 100% include all the extraneous story stuff

#

like getting Hypnos the bull's signature

proper furnace
#

i think he also didnt know how hunter's mark worked

lucid prairie
#

he and I, we'd get along

proper furnace
#

even tho he has used it bouldy

lucid prairie
#

can it apply the mark to an enemy that was just marked if that's the only enemy

proper furnace
#

no

#

you need at least 2 enemies for mark to appear

random relic
#

when did he start playing lmao

strange lark
#

Idk

lucid prairie
#

oh i lost a death defiance

#

worth it though

strange lark
#

Reset

proper furnace
#

dds pay themselves after charon lol

dreamy prism
#

reset

lucid prairie
#

this is not a high heat run

random relic
#

reset 3 times for good luck

lucid prairie
#

it's like

dreamy prism
strange lark
#

We reset in low heat runs too

#

Like 50 heat

random relic
#

yeah ill still reset even if its like 55

lucid prairie
random relic
#

way harder

#

40 to 50 is harder than 0 to 40

lucid prairie
#

I might skip 45 if it isn't too much-

#

oh

#

well then

lucid prairie
#

oh never mind

strange lark
#

40 -> 50 = 0 -> 32

random relic
#

nah

#

i think 0 to 32 is easier tbh

strange lark
#

Maybe idk

random relic
#

if you know what youre doing

lucid prairie
#

0 to 32 is insane what

random relic
#

as in not choosing stupid pacts

lucid prairie
#

oh right

strange lark
#

Waiting for somebody to do ri4 for first 32 on reddit

random relic
#

but yeah adding em4 to like a 40 pact makes it way harder

random relic
#

youd be surprised

strange lark
#

You wouldn't believe the dumb 32 pacts I've seen

lucid prairie
#

i saw RI1 and said "i will never get heart rend" and decided to never touch it

random relic
#

theres people that think ap2 is free heat and do it for like 15 heat

lucid prairie
strange lark
#

Way too many ri2s and ap2s and cp2 js3s

random relic
#

and then complain about the game being impossible and too rng heavy

lucid prairie
strange lark
random relic
#

calisthenics program

strange lark
#

You did em4 js3 cp2 td0

proper furnace
lucid prairie
#

I don't pay attention to health bars during bosses so I convinced myself that CP simply did not affect them

strange lark
#

Bruh

proper furnace
lucid prairie
#

I mean

strange lark
#

If I simply ignore it then it does not exist

lucid prairie
#

Why would I look at how far the big red bar is going down when my screen is suddenly filled with large green mines

proper furnace
#

I wouldnt call normal pots mines

random relic
#

peripheral vision

proper furnace
#

If you have heightened security yes

strange lark
#

I can definitely tell the difference between cp2 hades and cp0 hades

lucid prairie
#

HS... affects pots?

strange lark
#

Yes

proper furnace
#

150 dmg for free

random relic
#

yep

#

thats kinda what makes it such a bad pact tbh

lucid prairie
#

I did it at 30

random relic
#

otherwise its not that bad

#

its easy to tell the difference of cp2 at 0 heat

#

everything takes way longer to kill

lucid prairie
#

maybe it's just chiron

strange lark
#

Oh yeah chiron makes every enemy have 30% less health

proper furnace
#

Also em4 sometimes puts 2 vases in the same spot

#

Is funny

strange lark
#

Sometimes 3

lucid prairie
strange lark
#

Maybe even 4

lucid prairie
#

it... sure does, and did, and will continue to do so

random relic
#

pots are evil on hs

lucid prairie
#

I think that's when I decided that I was doing something wrong at 35 heat

random relic
#

you can have a full health bar hit a pot and pop your sd

random relic
#

ty for the adbice

lucid prairie
#

also why does hades sometime arbitrarily deal 100+

random relic
#

all my problems are solved

lucid prairie
#

excluding boiling blood

strange lark
#

Probably his spear throw

proper furnace
#

spear throw big hurt

random relic
#

his spear throw does 50 base

#

with hl5 thats 100

lucid prairie
#

oh

#

is boiling blood plus 50% or 100%

strange lark
#

100

random relic
#

100%

lucid prairie
#

great

random relic
#

lmao

lucid prairie
#

230 damage from two mistakes sounds right for em4

#

does the spear dash do damage at all?

strange lark
#

Hmm maybe em4 isn't a good pact afterall

#

Nah

random relic
#

wait i thought the dash did do damage

strange lark
#

It doesnt

random relic
#

what

#

wack

strange lark
#

Skill issue

random relic

Can hangover and ruptured crit?

plain river
dreamy prism
#

yes and yes

tight basin
#

perfect shot or explosive shot on twin rama

#

or repulse shot

tight basin
#

explosive shot is not fun lol

wanton dagger
#

My favorite combo has to be the rapid hit for the blade, and the heal 2 hps but have like minus 60% health

But you can still get off Power Shots.

what does… “delta” mean

plain river
#

Would you ever run stygian soul on achilles cast builds?

#

I’m fairly certain the answer is no

#

But just checking

strange lark
#

if you wanna highroll meme beams or hunting blades you would run stygian and pray for extra casts from chaos

#

but for normal achilles builds no just run infernal

plain river
#

Figured

#

Shackle beo gaming rn

#

I just bought a pom from chiron for 100 obols to get 150 obols before fury fight

stable cove
#

that's nice from charon, imagine if it just said no boons sry

plucky solstice
#

what is the best gun

#

im using the bow and shield so often but

#

i cant make it finish

#

and cannot unlock the hidden aspects

plain river
#

Eris and hestia > zag rail

stable cove
#

do you have any upgraded or any titan blood? at low blood/low eris is arguably best

#

if you have them upgraded hestia can be a safe weapon to pick off enemies

plain river
#

Hestia only really becomes amazing at higher levels

stable cove
#

yeah not too great at low levels

plucky solstice
#

in the sword zagreus aspect is max

plain river
#

My shackle beo run has ended prematurely noooo shadegrief

plucky solstice
#

and bow the second aspect is level 2

dreamy prism
#

shackle beo sounds funny

#

I might try 40

plain river
#

It was fun

dreamy prism
#

mirage allowed?

plain river
#

yes

#

It was fun till I hit heroes with less than 2 minutes on the clock

dreamy prism
#

k with mirage shouldn't be too bad

#

TD2 might be the play

stable cove
#

if you have hestia 4-5 like Shackle says, then Eris or Hestia could do but otherwise Eris.. Eris is prob the most pwerful aspect on the rail but hestia has a different playstyle. you can test out titan blood spending if you spend it but don't leave the courtyard and go back to the house or die in an escape attempt but instead do "give up" from the menu, but if you're worried about wasting it you might want to be safe

#

and don't quit from escape attempt either, that will save also...

plain river
#

I think I’ve run a shackle hestia run let me check my photos

#

I have but discord won’t let me copy the media link for whatever reason

#

+5% attack damage from bouldy that run!?!? That definitely contributed to my damage when shackle was already doing +100% anyways

plucky solstice
#

im so lucky i got just artemis and aphrodite in 30 chambers lol

plain river
#

Why get it in 30 when you can get it in 2 😎

#

Just get better rng

plucky solstice
#

idk what weapon to use

proper furnace
#

Just get ME ch3

plucky solstice
#

i just hate the gun

plain river
#

Exapryph is cool but you don’t have to use it if you don’t want to

plucky solstice
#

dodged everything and it take 3 death defience to kill meg

#

skill issue i think

proper furnace
#

What attack you used when playing rail?

plain river
plucky solstice
plain river
#

no

proper furnace
#

Attack boon i mean

plain river
#

Which attack boon

plucky solstice
#

oh

stable cove
#

could try just put zeus on attack with keepsake with eris then aphrodite/neptune/athena/% increase on the secondary. just keep the bonus damage active. also could try to get rocket bomb/triple bomb/cluster bomb

plucky solstice
#

idk but not something good

#

probably the snowwomans boon

plain river
#

Rocket bomb massively improves your special

proper furnace
#

Ouch

plain river
plucky solstice
#

yeah

proper furnace
#

Yeah % attacks on normal rail sucks

#

Cuz your attack has 10 dmg base

plain river
proper furnace
#

I said normal rails for a reason

#

Hestis/spread fire is gucci

plain river
#

Is hestia not a normal rail 🤨

strange lark
#

normal meaning zag rail

plucky solstice
#

i love the bow but it needs some upgradements

strange lark
plain river
proper furnace
#

🔫

plucky solstice
#

i guess im just a noob who even cant play with a single weapon idk

proper furnace
#

For bow are you dash striking?

plucky solstice
#

yeah

proper furnace
#

Also yeah practice good

plucky solstice
#

it has been 16 hours i will be good in one day i believe

proper furnace
#

Base bow (like lvl 0) is fine but you are gonna want hammers more than an upgraded bow

plucky solstice
#

yeah the hammer upgrades i mean

#

the explosives or the bow

#

no charge

proper furnace
#

Try aim for twin/shot first

strange lark
#

explosive shot gud

proper furnace
#

Then perfect/point blank/flurry/explosive

plain river
#

Twin or triple shot are priority picks on non-chiron aspects

plucky solstice
#

actually im not a bad player sometimes i make it to 3rd dimension boss but the guy with shield just annoys me and beats me 5 times in a row

proper furnace
#

Shield dudes moment

#

Also is good to learn, all enemies spawn facing right

plucky solstice
#

to the 3rd dimension without any death defience

proper furnace
#

So you can stand to their oefg for easy backstab

plain river
#

just play em3 so he only has the shield 1/4 of the fight

proper furnace
#

Oh wait you are talking theseus

#

Oops

plucky solstice
#

yeah the cool named guy

plain river
#

Wdym, asterius is the cool one

#

🤨

proper furnace
#

Bait the spear throw and wait till he retreats so you can attack him

#

Or dash through the spin attack for same resukt

plucky solstice
plain river
#

🤨🤨🤨

plucky solstice
#

yeah

plain river
#

anywho

proper furnace
#

Asterius is way cooler than dude with a shield

stable cove
#

you might know all this but with the third boss, try to kill bull first usually and if a X appears near zagreus in red that means he's aiming and about to throw at you so get behind piller. also bull rushing at is stopped by piller/wall

plucky solstice
#

im killin the bull first always

#

its easier but when it comes to the shieldas guy

stable cove
#

err sorry, i meant the actual guy with the shield here: - "and if a X appears near zagreus in red that means he's aiming and about to throw at you"

plucky solstice
#

i cant make it happen :sad:

plain river
#

“Kill first” this “kill first” that, just kill them at the same time 🧠

proper furnace
#

You also can save a greater call for theseus god call

#

He is left vulnerable during it so you can probably finish him off in that time

proper furnace
#

Or leave him at barely a bit of hp

plucky solstice
#

he has some calls when the his hp get low

#

then its turn to hard

proper furnace
#

Are you having problem with one in specific?

#

The gods he can call are the ones you dont have boons from

plucky solstice
#

not specific

plain river
plucky solstice
#

when it comes to dodgeing

plain river
#

Just don’t be in the circles

proper furnace
#

Best way to dodge most is keep dashing through theseus

plucky solstice
#

im not zagreus im reus who cant play anywhere but oneplace

plain river
#

zigreus

proper furnace
#

The attacks will follow you but you still have opportunities to dmg him

plucky solstice
#

i will keep this trick in mind

proper furnace
#

Also having any call helps to dodge attacks

#

As activating one will give you a small amount of iframes

plucky solstice
#

and im so unlucky in the last 3 runs i got artemis and the love girl all the time

#

and personally i dont like them

plain river
#

those are good combos 🤨

proper furnace
#

They are good for the bow

#

Like a lot

plucky solstice
#

idk

#

in most of the time their powers is the cast things

#

my english is bad sorry

proper furnace
#

When you find either do you already have an attack boon?

plucky solstice
#

yeah generally

plain river
#

Aphro and arte are really good on attacks or flourishes

proper furnace
#

Attacks from like athena and dem are good too but you want them with rarity

plucky solstice
#

imo the best combo for bow is the posedion and the wineguys

proper furnace
#

Are you using pos attack?

plucky solstice
#

ehh

plain river
#

Uh

plucky solstice
#

what is pos attack

proper furnace
#

Poseidon attack

plain river
#

poseidon attack

plucky solstice
#

yeah

stable cove
#

the wineguy/dio is better for quick low damage attacks

proper furnace
#

Poseidon attack is like the overall worst attack

#

Not only for bow

plain river
#

are you aiming for exclusive access bouldy

plucky solstice
#

ohh

proper furnace
#

It has the lowest % bonus

plucky solstice
#

yeah but the bounce thing is good for me

proper furnace
#

Use your dash to keep the distance

#

Or kill them so they cant hurt you

plucky solstice
#

im doin it already

proper furnace
plucky solstice
#

is pos attack that bad

strange lark
#

yeah

plucky solstice
#

oh

strange lark
#

it doesnt do much damage

#

and the knockback hurts you

plucky solstice
#

i though it was cool

proper furnace
#

It looks nice tbf

#

But is ron

plain river
#

It’s only good on the meme gun

#

Super soaker

plucky solstice
#

which is the best attack

proper furnace
#

"good"

plain river
#

Well

strange lark
#

level 6 epic poseidon attack = level 1 epic aphro attack

plain river
#

“Viable” is a better word then good I gues

proper furnace
#

Your build is based on having zeus do all the dmg ron

#

Just run zeus attack

plucky solstice
#

my friend told me zeus is the worst and ares is the best

#

i think hes noob like me

stable cove
#

you mentioned the aphro/artemis gods powwers are usually in the cast... just to be sure, once you put someone on attack (or another one of the 3 main slots), that's it then unless you sell it or another god offers to replace it (small ish chance).

plain river
strange lark
#

zeus is definitely not the worst

#

hes one of the best depending on your weapon

plucky solstice
#

is ares good

proper furnace
#

Best attack heavily depends on the weapon but for bow is normally artemis or aphro yeah

plain river
plain river
plucky solstice
#

i dont have enough skill for rail

plain river
#

Wdym skill for rail

#

It’s requires 1 more input then any other weapon

plucky solstice
#

3 death defience to meg with rail ron

plain river
#

oh

#

Oh

#

OH

stable cove
#

apart from aphgro/artemis demeter can be ok on attack too if you don't want those two

plucky solstice
#

i know...

proper furnace
#

I think thats mostly you using demeter attack

plucky solstice
#

prolly

proper furnace
#

Zeus attack makes an easy room clear in tart

plucky solstice
#

demeter attack is not good

proper furnace
#

Is good

plucky solstice
#

for not rail

proper furnace
#

Not on zag rail tho

stable cove
#

wait are we talking about the bow still? or is it now the rail lel

plucky solstice
#

not the rail no

proper furnace
#

If you wanna run % attacks on rail you need either spread fire or run hestia aspect

plucky solstice
#

my death to meg comes in front of my eyes

#

i didnt beat the hades yet

#

is the rail best weapon to beat hades?

#

w aspects or smtn

proper furnace
#

You can beat him with anything

#

Just try with what you are most comfortable

plucky solstice
#

wha

#

oh sorry

#

i read it wrong

proper furnace
#

Wait you havent gone past the 3rd area boss?

#

Right

plucky solstice
#

i have

#

pass them

#

like 6 times but they are still hard for me

proper furnace
#

Oh good thought i accidentally spoiled

plain river
plucky solstice
#

i probably went to them 30 times but

#

i passed just 6 times

plucky solstice
stable cove
#

any vids online you watched vs the heros? prob easier to see in action the various things talked about here

plucky solstice
#

yeah i watched

plain river
#

What weapon do you currently enjoy running the most

plucky solstice
#

w the bow and the trident

plain river
#

which aspects

plucky solstice
#

for trident zag and for bow

proper furnace
#

How much blood you have remaining?

plucky solstice
#

the second one

plucky solstice
proper furnace
#

Have you beated meg with all weapons?

plucky solstice
#

yeah

stable cove
#

they are quite hard though, bit of a jump from hydra/learnie. you can a lose a lot of health from the minotaur jumping around and then not have any left to deal with the other guy. if you don't use hestia, give zeus or dioynsis on attack for the rail a go

plain river
#

You said your chiron was at level 2 earlier?

plucky solstice
#

i accidentally used all my bloods for zag aspect for sword

plain river
#

I’m fairly certain dionysus flourish with aphrodite attack is good on chiron bow at any level

#

then once it’s level 4 or 5 artemis flourish becomes a good option as well

plucky solstice
#

so the best attack is aphro i gues
