Lmao why is that emoji called โspeak no evilโ

This hit me for 100 while the animation is still winding up, feels FO2 man https://imgur.com/a/TwfgQOL
Wow, they put in easter eggs to hint that Hades 2 will be about time and we never noticed.
Is his hand just not holding the spear lol 
since the flare pops gets rid of your iframes, if you have ddash can you kinda get the iframes back from your dashes or are you still screwed
Yeah that's what I thought but I never really tried it
Could probably test this in em3 and just dash into the beyblade while the flares are popping lol
The normal dash alr gives you i frames
yeah im bailing on 40
i never got close to that first run, way beyond my fun threshold
Go a bit lower
I'm gonna stay in this peculiar comfort zone for now
I know now i can beat it, but now i want to meme it
Proposals?
Do you think that I should focus on one weapon (and aspect?) to augment heat or try playing many things differents?
It's up to you really, when sticking with a single weapon you'll get more experience with that and you'll learn to better optimize it and improvise when runs don't go too well. But a portion of that experience is transferrable when you switch to a different weapon.
It also depends on how high you attempt to push. If you do a couple of 50 heat attempts and swap weapons over and over you probably wont get great results.
I'm at 10, don't feel like i'm playing good krkr
And I dunno how to improvise. I think it's a begginner question but should I take a god item every time at the first stage?
that's generally what people do
I hesite with the pinned butterfly
It's not very strong, and as you climb up in heat, some modifiers will make it much tougher to no hit rooms. You're also forced to keep it equipped otherwise you lose the damage boost. So that gates from having control over your build and also from using Defensive keepsakes in the later biomes.
The pacts you choose can start making a difference aswell, some are much worse than others, so I suggest you look at the pinned progression chart in this channel as it is a great starting point to build up to 32.
There's a bug on beo where that when the flares are popping, you lose the iframes
I was wondering if you can sorta "fix" that problem by getting ddash
Since ddash doesn't give you iframes
I feel like calling that a "bug" is a bit disingenuous
The game is pretty consistent with how it handles i-frames, which is that if you're attacking you don't get them
I think it's very possible that one's a bug. But ultimately speculation.
By that logic wouldn't meme beams also remove your iframes because it's constantly attacking
Did anyone try that with Trippy Flare on Hera, come to think of it?
I would've assumed so because it's also a flare but I have no proof
I'll try it out if I can later
And record
Not sure what would be the best way to test this tho
When pom bug was discovered people probably tried it on trippy Hera and saw that it was beo only
Hera casts come out much faster than Beowulf
I think @solemn pulsar used the dev console to confirm no i-frames on Beowulf. You could see when the invulnerability state was active and inactive. Or maybe it was Delta Chamber. Or both.
is the heat leaderboard for boonless/mirrorless unmodded
Yes.
Well.
Any mods that have no effect on the run itself are leaderboard legal.
That means accessibility mods, cosmetic mods, quick reset etc. are leaderboard legal.
nuts
For this test I set the dash to have invulnerability for 2 seconds, for visibility. You can see how long it lasts with RushWeaponInvulnerable = 1.0 popping up in the debug menu.
You can see that it does not linger when dash striking, and is removed from a previous dash when a dash strike takes place.
Once I add Delta Chamber, it is no longer ...
casts firing interrupts your post rush beo i frames
good god
it's been so long since i've been barged i didnt even know what the mm for it was
All you gotta do is wait for the encounter to start and it'll become crystal clear

mass savior room and i had to take swift strike earlier
do you not need a call for second wind
or quick favor
You do
Smair also doesnt list the specific need for a call but you still need one
oh
ok
so i wont sell my call
are you kidding me
curse of agony blade dash urge to kill
that run was going awesome too
200 hp in aspho
Ty ty! Did you ever test if the beo cast i frames oh no also applies to Trippy Flare on Hera? I don't recall anyone testing that specifically.
I did not. Honestly my secret thoughts are that this applies on like all casts at some point but the "deploy" window is larger on the flares, and beo itself staggers multicasts over a longer period of time so there's longer effective vulnerability so it's noticeable, especially because you're often dashing after a rush finishes. Whereas hera you're rarely able to get in motion by the time the casts stop firing because they come out so fast
but that's just theorizing, no testing done
Ty ty.
You're gonna make somebody time out because they made the mistake of pressing Call when they had Ares' Aid. 
getting quick favor offered when u dont even have a call boon ๐ฉ
Are you still trying to do boonless mirrorless?
What's your pact?
other than when i get absolutely stuffed on a boon option
uh
let me check
hl1 em3 bp2 mm uc fo1 ri4 td3
are we not allowed to take ri
Why not take fo2
i think ill exchange em3 for fo2
Oh no mirror can suck with fo2 I guess
i didnt take fo2 because of em3
Maybe hl4 lol
i'd rather cf2 and some js or something than put that hl too far
Fair
Nah, RI4 is definitely allowed.
8 free heat lol
are we allowed to benefit from keys/rolls
Yeah.
cool
I think it's fun. 
you're a god gamer though
Me and Wriste13 pushed each other to grind single dash Zag Fists vs Maxy back then.
With a pretty weak build.
Special thanks to Nyaanyaa for providing this spicy save file, from the Blood Price update.

That's my practice save file he was playing on.
the play button used to be blue on hover???
What's it now? I never pay attention lol.
Little tip: if you're running circles around him, his jab can never actually hit you.
what are you attempting?
Boonless mirrorless 32 Heat.
33
good luck
including 2 resets from awful boon choices
both were ares
that pissrag looooooves offering me blade dash and doom attack
are fated rerolls gained from key rooms banned?
No.
aight thats good to know
I recommend Persuasion over Authority for it, personally.
I thinkt hat is a better idea
because while you might get one or two less boons in the run
if you get stuffed on doom attack urge to kill and blade dash
One reroll for the Well before Elysium goes a long way.
you might get a chance to not get that
Since you'll have plenty of money.
Also being able to reroll if you don't find healing and need it.
It's more than just rolling out of bad boon offers.
Well items are the only way to get any bonus damage.
hammers can give a bit of bonus damge too
You're guaranteed 2 hammers per run anyways
Yeah, but not much control over those.
I kinda stopped playing Hades but I cant stop thinking about 50x6, I really wanna try to do it
fists 
idk tho, it takes so much effort, it took so long for me to get just one 50 heat win
just do 6 hestia 50 runs
no i mean 50 on every weapon once
i know
Poseistia, Charged-Skestia, Beostia, Bowstia, [insert funny Malphon meme], Hestia.
That's 6.
do i have to submit a video to prove that i didnt use the 1 boon i couldnt purge?(common unleveled 1 zeus cast)
Oh yeah, Gilgamesh Tidal Dash start is something in common with Hestia.
So there's that.
Videos are generally required for the leaderboard as proof. Runs without a video and only a screenshot will be filtered into the "screenshot only" sheet, which is mainly just for players who can't record video (or forgot) but still want their accomplishment acknowledged in some way.
Mind you, we don't go out of our way to verify every single submission, but submissions do need to be verifiable, hence a video is required.
whats the minimum heat for the video boonless mirrorless leaderboard
i think if someone better than me put in some more effort something like 42 or something heat would be pretty easily possible
Challenges don't have a min Heat requirement.
The main high heat leaderboard requires min 32 Heat.
is coming out of the blood into the house good enough to show a prior death
Err... @daring hedge. No, right? Seed is already determined at this point. Death animation needs to be shown at the very least.
Don't remember how we judged videos like that in the past.
but there's no way of knowing what the first reward is tho because of save points right
unless there is a way to see what it is without going further
or if there's a way to reload save points
You can back up the save at the point where you leave the pool.
ah then prior death would have to be shown then
unfortunate
i guess i have to kill myself every other run
cause generally i end up quitting after each one
I think that's the ruling we went with in the past, but pending confirmation from Tailesque.
I take it that accidentally using a boon cast that doesnt hit any enemies still counts as boonless
also
so
i took side hustle once
and counted how much money i had gotten from it in notepad
and then didnt spend below that threshold
is that permissible
The ruling was don't benefit from any boon. You clearly didn't.
iirc one boonless run has Dio Attack during the Heroes fight, but said that by not activating Shackle that meant an actual downgrade 
lmfao they've got a point there
good point
hestia dio attack is truly the most op combo in this game
50 heat boonless????
check the challenges Tab in the Sheet 
oh:(
@daring hedge ........ what am I finding out after one year of not bothering to verify your run? 
that one was a lot closer to hadesprof boonless, yeah. i was transparent about it in my vid description from the beginning lol
it's fine if you want to take it down from a specific leaderboard
it was dio attack for like half of elysium
I don't remember it, but I've disqualified it for the sake of the spirit of the challenge. I'll leave it on the board, though. https://i.imgur.com/SfMOdTj.png
Does it qualify for the "boon purger" challenge that we moved Hadesprofessor's runs into?
That cat was just no boon at the end, right?
No, it was purge any boons you can whenever you can, pretty much.
@daring hedge removed the DQ and just changed the category to Boon Purger. 
That means... ykc now has the unseeded boonless WR. 
welp the boon juggling is part of why i didn't do boonless myself
Yeah, it can be a little frustrating.
That's why I'm an onion boonless enjoyer
Using a mod to solve it would make the challenge inaccessible for console players, so we can't do that.
Yea fair
It also makes it easier in some ways
But Boonless with AP2 is kinda pain
that's fair
With mods, we could probably just change every boon to onions or something.
That's the onion mod
Ah lol.
It's why I originally considered disregarding any Heat from AP for the category.
Like if someone did 50 with ap2 it would count as 45 or what
Yeah.
Doesn't outright DQ the run if you used AP, but also makes it worthless for the challenge to use AP.
Nothing that sacred crocodiles can't solve.
I think the category would only benefit from the rule change. AP does nothing for it but create more unwinnable runs.
I forgot that there was a 51 from Tailesque above that actually lol.
It leads to why is this x Heat here when it's actually y Heat. And it devalues the runs where people did push through AP2.
HADES HIGH HEAT LEADERBOARD
General Rules
A continuous video of the run is required. The minimum eligible Heat is 32. God Mode is not allowed. Mods that do not affect the run itself are allowed. (E.g., purely cosmetic mods, accessibility mods, and the quick reset mod are allowed.)
Above all, the rule for recordings is that the run needs to be verifiably a single attempt.
Unseeded
The death animation from the previous run must be included. No routing or deliberate seeding is allowed.
Seeded
Runs that meet the general rules but do not meet the criterium for Unseeded must be submitted under Seeded.
Victory Screen Only
A victory screenshot is required. No video is required.
Rules for Challenge Categories
Mirrorless
Routine Inspection 4 is required. Benefitting from Fated Keys (i.e., rerolls picked up from Chthonic Keys) is allowed.
Boonless
You may not benefit* from any boon in your run. Boons are: boons from the 8 gods, Lord Hermes, Master Chaos, and Bouldy. Sigil of the Dead is technically allowed, but you're not allowed to actually use the Call. Approval Process is not allowed.
*Making use of any boon that you consider to be detrimental (e.g., using the Attack when you have Drunken Strike, which disables Shattered Shackle on the Attack) will still disqualify the run.
Boonless w/ AP
Same rules as Boonless, but Approval Process is allowed and required.
Boon Purger
Boons must be purged whenever possible.
In addition to the above, we withhold the right to judge any run according to the spirit of the category.
For questions and clarifications of any rules, contact @mossy zinc or @daring hedge.
I'll move any boonless runs with AP into the new category.
Unless I hear a strong no from @daring hedge.
(A weak no will be overruled with sacred crocodiles. ๐ ๐ ๐)
It leads to why is this x Heat here when it's actually y Heat.
I noticed the main issue with simply subtracting Heat was that the runs are also on the main high heat leaderboard.
But yeah, there could also be confusion.
does your run count as mirrorless if you reset your mirror with keys
Oh yea. Guess splitting them is fine. They're still in one tab after all.
If you reset with keys you can use the recharging Cast.
Yeah, exactly.
Hence why RI4 is required. I think that's better for the category to just streamline it like that.
do i just have to scroll up to see why no AP or is this something from before
Yep. You're right that devaluing their efforts by subtracting Heat would be somewhat disheartening. But I think boonless overall will benefit from not allowing AP.
Because it does nothing for the category but create more unwinnable runs.
i see
I wanna watch whoever decided to put superelite Chariots into Elysium Erebus try to actually clear that with FO2 BP2.
m not saying it can't be done, I just wanna watch Amir try it. He can try as many times as he likes.

Poseidon 50 
wait so
if coming out of the blood doesn't count because you can go back in save
can't you quit out of a room, save the file, record your death, and then have it be seeded?
it generates a random seed when you die
oh
can dad darkness if you meg immediatelyh
He can, but Meg will hit him.
so is that best time to meg on em3
Right at the start of the fight? For speed usually, yeah. For boonless mirrorless, I'd wait to see what he summons.
Just did 36 btw. 
Unrecorded and modded, though.
modded would make life much better
Reset for Flurry Shot second hammer.
zag?
Yes. Screenshot is in #h1-victory-boasting.
16:33 boonless mirrorless 36 Heat, and some people do 40+ minute runs without TD at 32. 
You died?
Did you make a practice save from that one?
Definitely save a Meg, dad is the hardest part of the run.
Well, some Elysium rooms can be pretty bad.
I don't do EM3 mirrorless lol. Just do EM2.
I did FO2. 
wh
Easy room.
Yeah looks easy
What weapon aspect are you using?
hestia
Ah.
idek how you would take f o2
Just don't get hit
So you're using Zag Bow without Twin Shot.
What's the base dstrike damage on zag bow lol
no td3 or something?
50 isn't it
meanwhile hestia:
Yeah, meanwhile Hestia taking two shots for every elite Numbskulls and elite Witch.
twin shot range too

Tbf bow pierces lol
That, too.
Buying hearts
It's hell mode lol.
Lmfao
Unmodded moment.
mods off though
They're just not being used lol
CF2 hurts especially early when you could be buying Centaur Hearts and Well items.
Wells are pretty much your only source of healing for most of the run.
i forget can you purge strong drink
yes
i love great shields :)
I think Flame Wheels are a lot worse. 
i'd rather have 20 armored flame wheels than 10 armored great shields
which is what i had got each wave on that chamber
especially given i had explosive fire
i may have been lightly exaggerating
The armored ones are free. The unarmored ones are the problem.
but it was one of those skull rooms
and there were like at least 6 on screen
plus some swords
That's unlucky.
which made me wish i had taken piercing fire at the start of the run instead
because there are more of them?
The armored ones also have a bigger hurtbox.
oh
i prefer the unarmored ones because you can just temporarily play eris
would eris be functional?
same damage as lvl1 chain lightning common but with no chain lightning
also the bonus would suck
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n55l-F2dwWw heres attempt that phased dad, is there anything i could do better other than git gud
Idk the category is very underexplored. See what you can do with Eris.
i've literally never beat the game with eris
lmao
Time to make your first Eris clear boonless mirrorless? 
real
i feel like you'd be significantly lacking in damage
the 75% is additive right
oh yeah
70 damage each hit isn't too bad
i mean
pretty bad
but not tooooo bad
although
it's' actually 110
which really isn't bad
but the range + 1 dash seems pretty crippling
i bet a god gamer could make it work, maybe even better than hestia
Being very greedy with your Attack rotation instead of playing it safe when he goes for spins especially.
While also not working your Special in very much at all for more damage.
yeah
Probably not.
i always forget if i have a special boon or not
One more advantage of Zag Bow.
You don't care for your Special anyway.
Hestia better for the dad fight, though.
yeah the range
I was lucky in my run earlier and got Patrocus c34 and that Jerky carried until dad lol.
nice
Took me a few attempts over the last couple days tbh. I feel like 52 Heat Zag Bow was easier lol.
Well, most of the run is easy no-hit.
Did a few bad dad fights.
Aside from dad, Flame Wheels were pretty much the biggest problem because even though they usually didn't kill me, they did too much damage.
i generally take more from exalteds
20 damage each time is a lot when you can't heal back from it any time soon and you have 200ish max HP. 
if i get off timing the spear ones are really annoying
Well, you didn't do FO2.
yeah that seems strange
even if you're a god gamer
what pact did you take
i cant find it in #h1-victory-boasting
like idek what you would drop to need fo2
no fo?

yeah
would be 42
utc moment
UTC+1
or one off utc
pst stays winning ๐ช๐ช๐ช๐ช๐ช๐ช๐ช๐ช๐ช๐ช๐ช๐ช๐ช๐ช๐ช๐ช
I used to struggle against Longspears until Tailesque told me "longspears are among the easiest to kite enemies in the game imo." 
yeah they're easy to dodge even with 1 dash so long as you keep up the circling
You wanna try to make them commit to the lunge.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/556229350782009344/1072147519343165540/image.png approval process was a mistake ๐ฆ
Hermes a tricky one for boonless
he disabled my dash and attack aswell
all i had was just the rocket which i dont know how to use
Why are you using ap
i figured itd be free heat since im not going to use the boons anyway
it clearly wasnt
Yea because you have to choose which boons youโre not gonna be using
Getting locked out of the core actions for the wep sucks
Cant roll it either most likely
Please note the (newly formalized) boonless rules in this post.
#h1-high-heat-strategies message
tl;dr: Boonless doesn't allow AP. Any boonless runs with AP will be sorted into a separate Boonless w/ AP category.
thats good to know even if i wasnt intending on submitting the run
Do I need to update the form and sheet?
I haven't quite decided on where to put the rules yet. Figured it'd would be a pretty long pin if I just add it to the pin. If you have any good ideas that aren't easy to miss, m all ears.
Or eyes, since I can't hear you.
Well I meant adding another option on the drop down
Figured the rules could go on the sheet and form too
For Boonless w/ AP? Yeah, you can do that.
Form can get a little description
Sheet can get a bigger one
I mean it's p simple right, boonless isn't the same as boonless with ap
Yep.
yall were right thans keepsake sucks ass and i hate him
would sudden rush zagshield be usable for boonless mirrorless
or achilles ig
zagshield is better i think
but the mobility is what i mean
sketch
Probably but you'd have to note it in the description or something
I think tailesque sped up their pause in their rama run
As long as it's one continuous recording with no cuts
oh
i had to cut because
i started the run during class
and then i actually had to do things
You're gonna have to wait for one of the sheet mods to answer that because it's a bit different than Speedrunning leaderboards but that should be invalid sadly.
looks like im not starting any more runs during class then
or maybe only during calc
Or just keep the recording going
I think opening up sectioned recordings is a pretty dangerous thing
Probs gonna say no to avoid any kind of precedent here that could lead to trouble or drama
died anyways
killed asterius and started walking and then theseus just pops out of nowhere and kills me with contact damage 
Depends. If the pause is during a moment that can't be easily recreated after reloading the safe, then it's still obviously a continuous run even if you cut out the pause.
So for example if you pause right after Zag enters a room and stands still, then no because it's relatively easy to pause at the same moment on a different attempt. And so it can't be verified.
If it's a pause during combat, for example, then it's virtually impossible to pause again in the same situation on a different attempt. So there's no problem because it's easily verifiable that it's still the same run.
Above all, the rule for recordings is that the run needs to be verifiably a single attempt.
Added that last sentence to the rules.
Isometric perspective might be screwing you over.
he dashed into a pilar only for the sweep to still land:(
Yeah, can't fully rely on the rocks there. Still wanna i-frame with dash or call.
cant really call and i dont know which parts of the dash are safe:(
Empty dash is invulnerable for the whole duration.
no wonder i have been able to avoid some of his sweeps when i really should have been hit
If you do an Attack or anything mid-dash, you're no longer invulnerable.
you can attack mid dash?
It's called a Dash-Strike. 
huh so thats what that means
how did you play sword
I wasn't sure if you knew this before but figured you would ketchup eventually
arthur slashes that got carried with the dash?
have u ever played nem or pos
Game doesn't tell you that empty dashes are invulnerable, unfortunately.
and now arthur is somebody i used to know
Or that activating any Call or Summon gives i-frames.
no it doesnt
It does, in fact
Hitting summon also removes all projectiles from screen I'm pretty sure
Also yes
thats how you do power couple right
ive seen circling around the pissrag who runs away from you and waiting for the rock to drop
using summon to turn an airborne cast into a grounded one for rod ๐ง
The Megagorgon is moving to be a specific distance away from Zagreus. If you're further away than that, it'll move towards you.

Hi I am in a lucky 32 heat run (using the exact heat setup as in the pinned message) on Poseidon sword in which I got offered crystal clarity in tartarus. I just got offered an epic glacial glare and an epic rare crop at the asphodel midboss. I have a common crystal beam that rare crop would be guraranteed to hit, along with a couple poms on it and chaos damage. I know rare crop can be a meme, but would it be worth it here?
Crystal Clarity 100%.
Rare Crop is a decent boon, just way too much opportunity cost here.
errr sorry if I was confusing I am choosing between glacial glare and rare crop. I already got the duo
Same thing. Glacial Glare.
You weren't confusing them, I just apparently didn't read the full message lmao.
shop if you need something to sell
it's boonless mirrorless
took heart
worked out
do you have to pick up dio's premium vintage nectar
i dont think so
you dont have to take sunken treasure
If you don't pick up the Nectar and don't pick up another Nectar after that, you're fine.
RIP.
was going so good
Yeah, poison can be tricky when mirrorless.
I had a great run that pretty much ended to Dire Satyr + Dire Snakestone because it was either I stay on one side of the wall and get HL5-poisoned or I dash through the wall and take multiple HL5 hits from the Snakestone lmao.
Won the fight but took way too much damage.
No, but m sure @waxen relic won't mind adding a category to the modded high heat leaderboard if there's interest in boonless and mirrorless for modded.
boonless mirrorless hm
Shackle charged shot zag shield, you'll prolly fall sleep but you can clear 50+ without too much trouble probably
maybe I'm underestimating the boonless part though
Maybe underestimating the combination of the two.
Let's settle on 45
the sheer lack of leniency mirrorless imposes on boonless sounds awful
it's just ff but you can get every god but you cant use them and you have max levelled weapons and shackle and meg and hl and em and td and bp and mm and not unaspected sword
but overall still ffโผ๏ธ
how much healing does shady drop
mirrorless is easier than FF
mirrorless alone yeah
You still benefit from free poms and rerolls
so i tried zagshield
i think this has potential for higher
if you ditch td3
because it deals much better with fo
with 1 dash
so theoretically
this would be very rng
but
would castspects be possible with fauth keys + hourglass + braids + stones
Possible for mirrorless?
The start doesn't work.
You'd use such a strat towards the end of the run. At the beginning you're looking for Chaos to give you a stone or more
boonless
How much heat
I think you'll just need to ignore the castspect part and play with Shackle and good hammers then
i wouldn't anyways, i hate casts
You do need quite a lot of items to reach similar dps.
And very few weps work well without a second dash
oh i forgot you start wiht 1 stone
Yea that's why on a typical mirrorless run you'd get your cast boon and pray for a second stone from Chaos. But boonless mirrorless 
On a typical mirrorless run you ignore the cast after the first chambers.
hestia stays winning ๐ช ๐ช ๐ช ๐ช ๐ช ๐ช
i think most of my runs ive ended up not castign once because it's the first slot to go
On Hera or Poseidon sword maybe
On Beowulf you can make it work
And on all the non-Cast Aspects 
Well the convo is about castspects so
talos 
Thought you were going to the broader picture. Anyways i got Achilles after switching away from the cast and did Eris and Talos without Cast too. Though that is just me and how i did it.
That's probably the play
I originally did 40 Beo with cshot shackle aswell
But Pseudo did it with 2 stones
passion flare and all that
It's just Beo that still gets good use from the cast.
Yes
well
surely youโd want pers for well rolls
auth for more wells
so real
Reroll Pools into Wells.
well
i did the thing again
but so
i had just beat lernie when my class started
but i paused in the middle of an attack
so when i unpause the attack animation will finish
will that work
Sure.
Right?
chaos 'your attack does % more' doesnt apply to onhits does it?
correct
one (1) in aspho

This is your run?
It's somebody else's in the chinese community
I see. I don't think the modded leaderboard has a Chinese translation like the vanilla board does?
The video doesn't qualify for unseeded. Do they have a recording of the run that includes the death from previous run?
It is seeded epic special
The description says unseeded. 
Maybe they meant unrouted
Possibly.
I havent translated the description I'm just going off of what's being said in speedcord
Quite a few high heaters joined recently

That's the description.
i think they said they meant unmodded
not sure if this is the same person
dunno man
i saw unseeded and it wasnt necessarily unseeded
Also, that can't be unmodded because it's clearly modded lol.
Well, ain't nothing for me to worry about, I left the responsibility for the modded leaderboard to other people.

I've added a link to the formalized rules to the pin.
@shy plinth, can you add a Rules sheet to the front and add them there? And add the categories to the submission form.
@nimble zenith can you translate the rules into Chinese? @shy plinth can help you add them to the Chinese leaderboard + add the categories to the Chinese submission form.
Thanks!

Kk
Apparently translated it says
โi'm so bad haven't played in half a year, bad dad fight, had a better run before but didn't finish it, the eury carried. 64 easier than what i imagined, just get blessing and don't get hit, someone play unseeded next"
No, the 64 heat run was done by a Chinese user whoโs name roughly translates to Juanbi
Ohh that makes more sense. Thanks! 
uh
im in styx rn
boonless mirrorless
with only piercing fire
do i anvil
nothing is detrimental on hestia right
rip
i had targeting system and delta chamber
the targeting system is actually cracked
i got sloppy at the end and took like 3 pots and 2 spins
with delta chamber it would've been funny if you played it is bad zag rail lmao
get those iframes
modded seeded
Afaik first boon guaranteed epic and 2sack
Pretty standard ngl
It reduces what would have been a stream of resets, but that's another conversation
guaranteed hammer choice as well
could've also used a separate mod for guaranteed epic boon start
Resetting that much for a seed that has even just a chance of a chance is not very appealing.
imagine finally getting the rests you needed for an epic thunder flourish and explosive return to get 3 sacked lmao
there's quite a few people saying the run doesn't count because it's modded in the subreddit lmao
3-sack potentially still doable depending on the free rooms etc. before that.
true, but i think he skipped like 2 midshops
The subreddit causes brain damage
he skipped the midshops for good reason tbf but that cut out all his extra time for a 3 sack
Whatever run it is, youโll always have those people
yeah lmao
Someone should make a "just get the boons" shirt
honestly
that doesn't sound too bad of an idea
also thankfully haelian commented on the reddit post so maybe they'll listen to him lmao
Basically same as 64 since non hell mode
probably 64 viable because personal liability isn't doing much
PL would probably only proc once and that's because you got slapped for 75% of your hp
no pl is like 63.9
someone said it's like if everyone used dream luck
52%
it's so horrible lmfao
i'd like to see them reset for 12 hours straight to get the starting boon they want
and then make it out of tartarus lmao
i think the default category when you open speedrun.com hades should be modded at this point
Seeded meta in early access was painful. Once you found a seed it was fine. But I reset for 2 hours just to get a Charged Flight start with AP2 lol.
poor keepout and kontra trying to tell people in the comments that it's a legitimate run
It's not letal on the vanilla leaderboard.
"Watching the video. He has a mod on that shows the boss fight previews (for example, Soul Catcher behind the Elysium miniboss door.
I wouldn't count it."
soul catcher is literally guaranteed from the modpack lmao
tbf the description didn't describe the modpack too well
It's variance smoothing
You could get a run like this so we're just skipping all the runs that you'd find out 20 minutes in that they're not doable
Tbf it doesn't help that modded players tend to just leave out "modded" when claiming this or that is WR or whatever or imply there's no difference. I see that often enough.
average
ok what the hell does " Theo used Diyoโs boon" mean
guy really said "Idk man as someone with around 10 40 Heat runs under my belt" except they didn't complete 40 heat
guaranteed hammer and 4 options first boon literally cuts out like 47/48 runs
40 isnโt free but itโs so far removes from this anyway
don't forget guaranteed epic boon too lol
i think angel said it's something like 1/5000? in her post
but it's totally "cheating a 64 heat win"
the bottom line is none of these people understand what it takes to win a run at that level
as an average gamer who does 40 heat off meta runs, no mods does mean I highroll with Earring more, to get more time insurance
Ngl the title of that reddit post is misleading. I don't agree with some of the comments on it, but the title is misleading.
i mean we're talking about a community that apparently hasn't moved past chaos shield
get clickbaited
imagine not being the in-group
Don't see the value of attacking the subreddit either. If you want to comment on what people post, just do it there. The SGG server is meant to be welcoming and kind. Attacking another community is a bad look.

i need my fill of vitriol
Honestly, at this point I am no longer giving people the benefit of the doubt that it's by accident. I've seen claims of WR this WR that without specifying that it's modded way too many times. Doesn't happen for speedruns.
that's fair
with speedruns there are very clearly categories for modded and unmodded while for just a sort of game achievement there aren't as tightly defined rules
We have very clear rules for mods on the vanilla high heat leaderboard. 
We're just more lenient with accepting some mods that don't affect the run itself.
Irrelevant to my point anyway.
i'd imagine that's why people are more comfortable claiming it's an overall WR
I think it's more likely they're simply equating the two in difficulty. Which is fine if they think that, but then it shouldn't be a problem to clarify it's modded if they think the two stand on equal footing.

Yeah idk what's up with that. Look at the top runs on the modded speedrun leaderboard and literally every single one has "modded" in the title. Do the same on the modded high heat leaderboard and maybe half of them have it in the title, if that. It's like they want it to appear legitimate and on equal footing with unmodded while shooting themselves in the foot hiding that it's modded or something. 
Literally the modding just avoid to throw away a perfect run by the Satyre's rng. Even just for that it's important.
Modpack does more than just guarantee 2-sack lol.
Sorry everyone, mysterra's 63 heat video was censored by bilibili (because Aphrodite's beautiful body didn't pass the censorship:AphroditeBond: ), and is now being re-uploaded, if it doesn't pass the censorship he will upload it to YouTube

lmao
Aphrodite has downsides after all
Bilibili won't allow aphrodite on it
I know but It's the thing at the end that could, that's why I used this one as an example
It is the second time I cleared this heat with Mod.
Zeus Shield + Explosive Return + Heartbreak Flourish๏ผEpic/Heroic๏ผ= The most powerful pure physical attack in the whole gameใLOL
What a thumbnail
Nice.
thatโs fire lmao
Ayo so I'm trying to do a 32 heat run because I'm trying to like 100% the game, any strats that don't require maxed out Extreme Measures because I literally cry when I get to the final boss lmfaooo
Check pins
Ah right, thank you
im trying to do a 20 heat run on lucifer but i have never played with that aspect before what gods should i be aiming for?
EM4 is basically never recommended for 32 Heat, although we can help with strats if somebody really insists on it. Do you have a preferred aspect you wanna use or is anything fine?
hl5 em3 bp2 mm uc fo2 td3 ๐ช ๐ช ๐ช ๐ช
Seems unwise lol
Honestly nemesis aspect or chaos shield
zagshield
Nah because doom on special for chaos shield does work
Not chaos is a good aspect
Doonshield build>>>>>
50 minute games
Ah... we can help you make it work, but you could choose a good aspect instead if you want to make it easier. 
nem isn't too hard for 32
heart rend and +dashes and you're home free mostly
but something not-melee would definitely be easier
It's definitely one of the worst for easy wins.

Damage control or overtime
Anything but that.
anything more specific in mind?
Turn off CF because that can cost you 25~50 max HP from shops in Tartarus.
BP2 shouldn't be much of a problem. You'll just need to learn to deal with the different BP2 combos.
And not run into Speeder Chariots lol.
i usually have somewhere around 700 coins min when i get there so that hasnt become a problem yet
Tartarus is the first biome lmao.
i may be dumb
It's fine for the later regions, but the things you miss out in early shops and wells can cost you in the long run.
DC and FO are two of the worst pacts you could take, so just... don't do that lol. DC2 on Rama would be fine still even boonless mirrorless, but strongly recommend against it on any other aspect.
And FO2 with one dash just takes a lot of skill.
Great for practice, though.
i've missed out on 1 total tart heart on cf2
in like 20 odd runs
Nemesis relies a lot on getting a powerful build to carry you through or otherwise just takes a lot more skill than other aspects because you're constantly using your dashes for DPS, which means you're constantly out of dashes to evade hits.
Most effective way to play Chaos is to get Charged Shot and completely ignore the Special. Second most effective is to get Merciful End with Doom on Attack and completely ignore the Special or maybe get Tidal Dash + Lightning Strike + Static Discharge and completely ignore the Special. About the third most effective way is to get Explosive Return and start Thunder Flourish and then use mostly the single-shield Special instead.
I missed out on more than that with CF0 lol. I might be buying more Well items idk.
i don't buy a lot of well items
mostly because everything i find is eye of lamia and rng god
Eye of Lamia is nice though when you have no other healing.
You'll want to like... dash left and right near a wall instead of circling them like you do. That way you can e.g. dash left and bait them there, dash right to evade, then dash back left to finish some of them off. If you keep dashing right, they'll just keep shielding each other and you're not finishing any of them off.
Also just use bow and have piercing. 
With Twin Shot.
And actual damage on Attack.
this is literally not my slowest tart
how
Back to Chaos 32... you can build on the aspect's gimmick, which can be fun, but it's a fact that it's gonna be less effective.
For pact, just do that:
Should work just fine for both.
Owl Pendant is for Divine Dash and getting DDs from her after that.
Probably shop since it's unmodded.
2-sack mentality, you're less pressed for time, so you can take hammer.
Yeah.
can never hit him and he's always hitting you
and he tricks you into thinking the aoe is way smaller than it is
I'M NOT RECORDING?
WHY
WHY
I'M IN STYX WITH 335 AND I'M NOT RECORDING
oh no
get used to fo
aight
Did you check the progression chart in the pins
it's boonless mirrorless
lmao
XD
We do have a victory screens only sheet on the leaderboard. 
BP2.
my 2sack mentality failed
FO2 great practice overall, HS great for practicing room layouts and learning not to walk on magma every other second in Asphodel lol.
are you kidding me with this
why are snakestones so annoying
died anyways
this is the pact i use
everything sorta required except you only need 2 of 3 of fo1, cf2 and a point somewhere, or em3
or you can do fo2
targ system stacks with fo2 to make enemies move only about 0.8% faster
is em3 that bad
resisting the urge to say skill issue
Turn off FO and up HL. 
Or keep dying to Snakestones and dad.
my targ system cheese doesnt work on hl
You do it better then. 
pls deal with em3 asterius and theseus with 1 dash
And no boons.
my sweet jesus who gave the spear dudes the ability to generate shields
i went into the room with full hp and after the first wave it was 8
who gave ____________ the ability to generate shields
havent seen the others yet
have you not turned on bp yet/???
i had 1 on
before this run
have fun with chariots
thanks i wont:D
25 HEAT CLEAR WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
the number doesn't say much compared to max RI lol
boonless mirrorless moment
what was ri again?
isnt that the one im currently doing
oh yeah
ru keeding
triple bomb seeking flurry
jesus triple is annoying
screws with my rotation
aint that the truth
why does it take me 4 hrs to upload a run:(
drive you are better than this
why do i keep getting dzeusd by theseus
what?
arent they wonderful:D
my fav part of the fight is when he summons speedboosted damageboosted chariots that take like 11 hits to kill
how do you deal with those DC BP using hestia?
What heat?
It does yes
Because if you're below 50 I would probably say don't take dc
Unless you mean savior skulls, in which case sometimes you don't deal with them (tartarus) but sometimes you can strip shields with regular attack and hopefully pop a few with cast and special etc
no i mean those BP enemies that does DC
Savior skulls
Yeah you have a pretty narrow window and stripping shields with regular attack will let you take out a couple
As long as they're not cloners you should be okay
can bp2 have cloner+savior?
I... think so? There's some mod that makes more of them and makes them bubble
I always forget the specific combinations that are blacklisted
Nyaanyaa will know
i see. but savior skull itself is annoying by itself. thanks anyway. maybe just a skill issue. too used to shot+reload
tidal dash will help a lot
