wispy blade
#

that bug

pseudo flame
#

that seems very intentiionally exploiting the boss mechanic

wispy blade
#

i mean it wasnt patched out by devs

#

so its legit

forest token
#

i mean it's more specific, but also splitting bolt bug

wispy blade
#

splitting is zeus specific

#

thunder flare is so cursed

forest token
wispy blade
forest token
#

i guess we'd see it with rod

wispy blade
#

when the spec was out

forest token
#

fair

wispy blade
#

and hitting enemies with splitting

forest token
#

either way

#

half the bug list are beo bugs

wispy blade
#

no

#

icy is worst or 2nd worst

forest token
#

thunder flare actually has damage when it decides to hit

wispy blade
#

need double strike

forest token
#

you get jolted and double strike (budget mirage)

wispy blade
#

no

#

slciing

forest token
#

imo icy is the worst, jazz thinks blade is worse

wispy blade
#

its so ass

forest token
#

imo it actually has damage unlike icy

forest token
#

iirc 3 icy stones didn't even kill some aspho enemies

wispy blade
#

just get 3 croven shots then icy flare will work

forest token
#

i'd get 3 croven shots on thunder flare

#

no clue

#

i dont follow with the copy pastas

#

bruh lmao

sinful zodiac
#

I watched this years before I even play the game

#

man I forgot how easy normal lernie is

#

now I know

pseudo flame
#

able to clear Heat50 just normally live

#

crazy

#

3-4 reset as well

sinful zodiac
#

hestia on high heat is crazy hit or miss, a few room with damage control bp2 with no dash just kill the run

#

even if you clear it, the time will kill you

#

ap2 moment

pseudo flame
#

can't they just use regular shot to clear out DC shield quickly then kill?

sinful zodiac
#

you get overwhelm by skull or can't hit anything with shield guy

wispy blade
#

you have to reload between the dc clearing and the big hit

wispy blade
#

you just dont have the time

#

the dc is already back up

pseudo flame
#

i guess depends on enemies then

forest token
#

yeah sometimes you just get bad bp combos and there's not much you can do about it

#

it's why he started tdash at 50 lmao

sinful zodiac
#

I really hate clone with laser numbskull

#

hit like a truck

pseudo flame
#

to deal with crowd DC

forest token
#

yep

#

iirc in the run someone in chat asks like "why tdash start" as soon as he enters the savior numbskull room lmao

sinful zodiac
#

I know that from haelian when he try to go fast with chiron

forest token
#

chiron is absolutely not fast lmao

sinful zodiac
#

just use dash and dash strike only up until ashpodel

#

still sub10 tho

forest token
#

bigp resets for tdash rarity lmao

forest token
#

even while like messing around lmao

wispy blade
#

on chiron its less of a lock

#

because it sucks ass

forest token
#

like probably still difficult on chiron and other aspects, but it's not surprising that haelian sub10ed it

pseudo flame
#

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjhBKol6Hyk
well, someone did clear under 9 min

I stream at https://www.twitch.tv/ronniedabearow

Surprised to get a good time without conc volley, room and boon rng was great though. Will revisit in a week or two for a better time. Poseidon dash is a great start as hydrolic might is then in the pool for pickup. Only works for special hammers though as triple shout would be wasted with knockb...

sinful zodiac
#

but why fo1?

pseudo flame
#

and please dun say this is actually slow, or other weapons can do under 6 so this is not fast

forest token
#

i'm only in like chamber 4 or something and i love how it's just bad zag bow atm lmao

forest token
#

yeah tdash start

wispy blade
#

chiron is quite literally slowest aspect in the game

forest token
#

chiron needs the aoe for speed

wispy blade
#

he has also said common rd isnt enough

#

you need epic rd

forest token
#

well he's aiming for sub6 so different standards

#

you dont need epic rd for like sub10 or 9 or whatever

#

up to nalei and cherry

#

they're the only ones running those 2

#

no clue

#

i think cherry is

wispy blade
#

cherry is

forest token
#

idk about nalei tho but she prob is

wispy blade
#

nalei was a little ago

#

idk if still

#

i mean

#

aotw isnt determined by a computer

#

at least i thikn

#

im pretty sure they pick them

#

its 24 week

#

but random within those 24 weeks

#

no then everybody would know

pseudo flame
#

recorded WR anyway

wispy blade
#

ok well thats unmodded

#

modded arthur has a 603

#

chiron is like 614 or something

#

gilga unmodded only has like a 647 or something

pseudo flame
wispy blade
#

zeus has 5:59

#

vod is deleted

forest token
#

huh

wispy blade
#

but zeus also has a superset of the abilities chaos does

#

and chaos has a 5:45

forest token
#

did bablo delete his vods

wispy blade
#

no

#

it was baj

#

and yeah

#

baj deletes his vods a lot

forest token
#

oh i thought bablo got the zeus stuff

wispy blade
#

splits still on sheet tho

forest token
wispy blade
#

yea

pseudo flame
#

huh, Chiron unmod 6:17 and mod 6:14

#

surprisingly close

#

and lol Rama unmod 5:26, mod doesn't exist on the first 100th shadefear

forest token
#

have you seen the unmodded 50 heat 7:30 rama lmao

#

modded 50 heat wr is like 9:xx iirc

pseudo flame
#

way to go, my favorite bow shadesmile

wispy blade
#

for everything

#

theres a hestia sub10

#

zeus sub10

forest token
#

yeah iirc there's a few sub10 modded 50s

wispy blade
#

timothy has wr i think

pseudo flame
#

Rama is the 1st weapon to reach heat 60 b4 Zeus Shield, i believe

forest token
#

yeah i think so too

pseudo flame
#

still, so no one tries to push Rama modded? lol

forest token
#

well the issue isn't like

#

sack rng, barge, etc

#

the issue is 2nd hammer and getting another dash from hermes

#

modded doesn't guarantee either of those

#

60 heat is everything except ri2

#

huh

wispy blade
forest token
#

wasn't that hypermodded

mint crow
#

I mean you make it guarantee C1 hammer right

pseudo flame
#

but 3 years and no one manage to beat Rama unmodded time? that's amazing in a way

forest token
#

oh the 7:30 is just disgusting lmao

#

it's basically unbeatable

wispy blade
#

a rama sub6 seed is a low 5 seed on a good aspect

#

hyper

pseudo flame
wispy blade
#

dawg

#

it literally says 1.4.0 in the corner

mint crow
#

what’s the igt for the world record run

wispy blade
#

4:30

mint crow
#

Damn

wispy blade
#

or 6:13 if you play a real category

mint crow
#

What do you mean

forest token
#

it's beatable for sure but at that point you'd have to get more skips and bigger damage numbers

#

hesty has a 60 no?

wispy blade
#

ri3 dc0

#

its ri2 dc2 for normal 60able aspects

#

rama

#

zeus

forest token
#

every shield

wispy blade

chaos

beo zagshield

forest token
#

eris

wispy blade
#

angel has gotten to dad a few times on 60 dem and nem

pseudo kernel
#

does luci have 60

wispy blade
#

no

#

59

pseudo kernel
#

bruh

wispy blade
#

if angels 59 is wr

#

the frost strike one

pseudo flame
wispy blade
#

it was an aspho replace

forest token
#

lmfao

pseudo kernel
#

imagine playing unmodded

wispy blade
#

unmodded heat is impressive but at that high 50 territory is just huge ass

#

to play

pseudo kernel
#

50 heat is lowkey fun

forest token
#

it's fun if you know the em4 fight

pseudo kernel
#

yeah

forest token
#

i'm washed for heat so i can hardly make it to dad consistently for 50 heat on em4 lmao

#

when i was doing 50 heat beo runs again i made it to em4 dad once and threw the fight

pseudo kernel
#

im stoned rn

forest token
#

aren't we all

wispy blade
#

Grue...

forest token
#

to be fair

#

6 stones kinda mirage

#

although 2 of them won't last to lernie unless you get midshop + some skip

pseudo kernel
#

dem special kinda mirage

forest token
#

true

wispy blade
#

lord help me im resetting for rd on ap1

forest token
#

lmfao

#

just dont

wispy blade
#

the thing is

#

beowulf the shield

#

does not kill enemies

#

in ely

forest token
#

then get mirage

pseudo kernel
#

get skips

wispy blade
#

with mirage

#

and no rd

#

nor does it kill heroes

forest token
#

i mean heroes have like another 6k hp

pseudo kernel
#

just route the run nobody will notice

forest token
#

lmfao

wispy blade
#

Grue

forest token
#

"damn the codex do be opening a lot huh"

pseudo flame
#

would this be the worst Heat32 Pact?
CF1, JS3, EM4, CP2, HS, RI4, DC2, AP2

#

like this?

#

oh, i say the worst, doesn't need to the hardest, but the most annoying to clear

wispy blade
#

need dc2

pseudo flame
#

which point to take out?

wispy blade
#

cf2

#

or cf1

#

and td0

#

cause td1 is just td0

pseudo flame
#

how about this?

#

i imagine Beo would be the worst weapon to use

pseudo kernel
#

beo has block

pseudo flame
#

but one cast

pseudo kernel
#

probably arthur or something like that

pseudo flame
#

plus DC2

pseudo kernel
#

one dash arthur dc2

pseudo flame
#

hm valid point

pseudo flame
#

though i still think Beo might be worse

#

the dmg is still low without cast build

pseudo kernel
#

if this is td0 then damage doesnt matter

pseudo flame
#

speaking of TD

#

hmmm i wonder how Beo TD3 RI4's like O_O

pseudo kernel
#

arthur would still do worse

#

at least with beo you can do a dash strike into a bullrush to eat up any attacks

pseudo kernel
#

with arthur you have to slowly chip away at dc2 while not getting hit with one dash

forest token
#

i want my cshot

wispy blade
forest token
#

just get fully loaded

#

tbf 1 passion flare clears tart pretty well iirc

pseudo flame
forest token
#

i could record it, i dont stream

wispy blade
#

i could stream it

forest token
#

based

wispy blade
#

think i already did that

pseudo kernel
#

i will do it but only the audio

wispy blade
#

i think unananas did 32 ri4

#

beo

pseudo flame
pseudo flame
forest token
#

is this just like anyheat but with ri4

#

and i guess td3?

pseudo flame
#

but as i said, the most annoying, not the hardest

forest token
#

oh i def cannot do that on beo lmao

#

well no td3 i guess so doable

pseudo flame
#

the way to torment urself the most efficient way 😄

forest token
#

i could try that pact but that puts a damper on doability by a lot lmao

#

i thought the challenge was just anyheat but ri4 which i thought was doable

pseudo flame
forest token
#

ah

#

yeah i'm not capable of that one lmao

pseudo flame
#

i can clear Arthur mirrorless/boonless heat32

#

but just the thought of heat32 Beo mirrorless shadegrief

forest token
#

the part i'm concerned about is the em4 part tbh lmao

#

combined with ri4 at least

pseudo flame
#

imo, i see heat64 Beo more impossible than Arthur

forest token
#

they're both pretty impossible

wispy blade
#

64 heat beo is kinda like

forest token
#

arthur dies pretty hard from dc2

wispy blade
#

slower zagshield

#

but every 3rd cshot gets extra damage

forest token
#

yeah pretty much

#

beo gets shafted pretty hard from ri and dc2 but it doesnt get shafted by dc2 that badly

#

arthur survivability is also out the door with 1 dash

pseudo flame
wispy blade
#

ok i can stream

#

what did u want

forest token
#

rama needs the hermes rng and it's actually vaguely possible to do on rama

wispy blade
pseudo flame
wispy blade
#

o i cant do em4

pseudo flame
#

lol then i guess RI4 TD3 HS, up to heat32

wispy blade
#

k

pseudo flame
wispy blade
quiet acorn
#

which makes getting the boon u want worse

#

ri1 or ap1

wispy blade
sinful zodiac
#

man, losing because of 4 sack feel so bad

#

unmodded L

lost geyser
#

Let's say I can get bounties at 2 heat. If I set my heat to 3 instead, can I gain heat 2 bounties on heat 3 or do I have to have EXACTLY the right heat? Like, running heat 3 twice will get me all the corresponding bounties?

bleak grotto
#

The former. You'll always get bounties for the lowest available heat

lost geyser
#

Awesome

rugged hinge
#

however, all of skelly's prizes can be obtained at once

quiet acorn
#

how to win with fists its so hard

#

i tried lighting and it does piss damage

#

lighning

bleak grotto
#

How in the world so early

quiet acorn
#

andi still lost

quiet acorn
#

whats ruleset

#

the mod thing

forest token
#

looks like you're using breaching cross

#

long knuckle surprisingly makes a difference for heat lmao

quiet acorn
#

since im starting athena breaching cross lets me not die to time

forest token
#

i'll also say that dc2 is worse for ME fists than it is for zap fists

quiet acorn
#

i died to hades

forest token
#

oh that might be an issue too lmao

forest token
#

i'd try long knuckle tho

quiet acorn
#

i had 5 dashes and 15% dodge and pommed impendingand died in phase one

forest token
#

also why no hs?

quiet acorn
#

because i died 5 times in a row to lava

forest token
#

cp2 is also the reason you're dying to time

quiet acorn
#

im not losing time anymore

forest token
#

long knuckle will also solve hs sorta

quiet acorn
#

ok ill try that

forest token
#

ngl taking heat off with ap1 and doing zap fists would help a lot

quiet acorn
#

next year when i pick up fists again

forest token
#

lmao based

forest token
#

i tried resetting sd in a rat room but i got left with 1 hp bouldy

#

died to dad

#

pain

left prism
#

Lmao

cursive portal
#

🗿

forest token
#

my hunter's dash got replaced by thunder dash in aspho

#

i'm having a great time with rama 50

#

my only semblance of damage was from a c2 chaos with a rare lunge i double rolled for lmao

forest token
forest token
#

wave of despair

#

and thunder dash

#

and poison can apparently wear off

shy plinth
#

Isn't that dying lament

#

Wave of despair is the revenge boon I think?

#

Yeah. It's the revenge boon

forest token
#

yeah the rats killed themselves on me before sd could proc

ashen garnet
#

Long Zeus gang (Build for splitting bolt and get jolted before heroes and you should be fine) and dc2 slows ME down mostly until you can proc with your dash (in theory strike/d-strike dmg procs DC1, dash dmg procs DC2)

quiet acorn
#

ill try zeus with possibly smair too

cursive portal
#

JS3 over CP2 imo

#

cp2 is more difficult

ashen garnet
#

Definitely with Zeus atk

#

Crush shot is great for bossing and Zeus call is too good to pass if going for smair

quiet acorn
true wing
#

is there something like this but for even higher heat

#

i just cleared 40 heat with hera. ive been theorycrafting but wanted to know others opinion

#

hopefully i don't have to run fo2 or em4 😓

#

or td 3 cause i cant even complete that on low heats lol

quiet acorn
#

i think you need atleast fo2 or td3

true wing
#

that's so sad but okay

quiet acorn
#

if i go for dio attack do i aim for the duos or just pom attack and take whats given

ashen garnet
#

Generally poms if early in the run, then looking for Dio/Ares and Dio/Aphro duos

quiet acorn
#

like do i take their keepsakes

#

or take a defensive one and hope for one of them

ashen garnet
#

Depends your god pool and situation in the run tbh

#

Dio atk is more viable once you have to activate any level of RI heat-wise, but I guess it depends your playstyle and if you feel it could fit better

quiet acorn
#

nvm it does -3 dmg per hit

ashen garnet
#

It's great to chain rotations (repeated 5stacks hits and run)

quiet acorn
#

yea but it takes forever

#

i had one min left for heroes and died anyway

ashen garnet
#

Ely is an even bigger dps check than usual for heat fists. You have to either rely on Hermes highroll, skips or maximizing safe dps while minimizing down time (main argument in Long Knuckles favor)

#

oh and not have a terrible luck on EM3 spin2win bull bouldy

quiet acorn
#

im currently starting athena and taking whichever of dio zeus or ares i see in tart

near iron
#

I've been trying to beat 34 heat with every aspect and I'm stuck on arthur, is there any reliable strat for it?

wispy blade
#

avoid FO if you’re not used to it

#

make sure u don’t have dc

near iron
ashen garnet
quiet acorn
#

im bad i die without divine dash

#

lmao

wispy blade
#

if ur doing athena start u kinda need dc0 for time

#

and then u kinda gotta play it like anyheat hammer start

#

which sucks because you have no hc

quiet acorn
#

i mean time hasnt been a problem so far except with dio

river jacinth
#

Hmm I’m gonna go into the heat the first time

#

Can I diamond farm?

#

Any tips on diamond farming?

wispy blade
#

uh

#

you diamond farm by playing new heat

river jacinth
#

Ok

quiet acorn
#

im using abyssal soul is that a mistake

wispy blade
#

yes

quiet acorn
#

but i. keep dying to asterius and hades

#

only

#

and the other thing doesnt afffect flat damage anyway

wispy blade
#

it affects special

quiet acorn
#

is it that significant

#

base charged special does like 220 damage

wispy blade
#

with boiling blood its more

#

and like

#

fists base damage isnt 0

#

you still get attack damage from it

quiet acorn
#

but is it significant enough to use over 1/3 boss dmg and speed reduction

wispy blade
#

yes

#

this is from baj

#

when asked if abyssal is owrth using

#

fists are not in this niche

quiet acorn
#

isnt fists just weaker eris

wispy blade
#

fists are not ranged

forest token
#

this is like the standard 40 pact

#

depending on the aspect you can take dc2 but it will slow you down for td3

#

ngl there's not much else to take at 40 that won't screw you over for time unless you want to do td2 js3

wispy blade
#

you can do the le epic one

forest token
#

elaborate

forest token
#

my brother in christ that's barely readable

#

is that js3

wispy blade
#

hl5 lc4 cf1 js3 em3 cp2 bp2 mm uc hs ap1 td3 pl

forest token
#

decent chance they're not using hell mode

#

but also that pact is horrible and no one should do it

wispy blade
#

hl5 lc4 cf2 js3 em3 cp2 bp2 mm uc hs ap1 td3

#

it was actually free

#

no fo is so funny

forest token
#

not everyone can play like you

wispy blade
#

its so hard to get hit

forest token
#

you're playing charged skewer guan yu

#

it's a pretty safe build

wispy blade
#

yea

#

it was so le epic

#

one ely room took 2 minutes

forest token
#

sounds about right

quiet acorn
#

i think i unlearned hades

#

somehow

#

i died in phase 1 with 4 dashes and smair aphro call

#

the 33%- 66% part

forest token
#

sometimes you just unga bunga too hard

quiet acorn
#

i had patty buff and acorn too

forest token
#

unga bunga moment

#

i've had that happen a few times lmao

#

it happens

#

"oh there goes my hp"

quiet acorn
#

it happened the past 3 times

#

lmao

#

i probably have to get an epic rd super pommed ME build to out damage him

#

so getting hit wont matter

#

oh wait, i did that

#

and lost

mint crow
#

Still not really. Use bow if you want range

mint crow
#

But zag, Chiron and Hera aren’t

wispy blade
quiet acorn
#

yea idk what happened

#

i tried a run with just fo2 and still died to haades 1st phase

quiet acorn
#

i guess i just had some sort of mental block i guess

#

playing some hestia fixed it

quiet acorn
#

lol this is the fastest ive reached heroes

#

and fastest ive died here too

forest token
#

that's a lot of chaos lmao

hoary pasture
#

That's the same pact i used 🗿

wispy blade
#

bro thats cursed

#

its hestia take ri

quiet acorn
#

idk it works

#

i consistently reach hades

#

except when i died to a sawblade in styx

quiet acorn
#

ri2 ap1 is much easier

#

thank

wispy blade
#

widecharon3

quiet acorn
#

chaos seems to be the only important thing here

wispy blade
#

whats ur hammer set for

quiet acorn
#

rico

#

hazard bomb looks like it could be useful but i find it hard getting the special into the cycle

wispy blade
#

set to hazard

quiet acorn
#

i end up reloading 2 -3 times in a row and specialing when its on cooldown

#

the only thing i currentlyhave a problem with is the hades fight

quiet acorn
#

does flurry fire make the first shot come out faster

sinful zodiac
#

Where can I find baj old zeus guide if it even existed?

wispy blade
sinful zodiac
#

been trying for hestia 45, greed for athena revive, died at asterius miniboss

#

it was the run I got epic aphro strike too

sinful zodiac
#

I yolo that run with purse to shackle

#

Got aphro in aspho, athena dash first chamber

sinful zodiac
#

modpack sure is life changing, I got to dad 49 heat first try

#

explosive return is so important for zeus

forest token
#

Yeah modpack kinda good

#

Styx is a breeze, no rng

#

The hammer you want makes build making more reliable so hear and speed is so much better

ashen garnet
#

MM barge tho

forest token
#

I'd rather have mm barge than power couple lmao

mint crow
#

Not exactly high heat but in #h1-victory-boasting I see a lot of like sub minute Asphodel (not including lernie) and I need to get a better time in there any general tips on how to play there

#

Or am I reading the times in the victory screens wrong

shy plinth
#

Sub minute??

#

Where are you looking

mint crow
#

Yeah looked in the wrong spot then

#

was prob lernie boss timer

shy plinth
#

You might be confused by seeing the timer in the lower left corner

#

Tight deadline timer stacks leftover time

#

So if it looks high that probably just means a fast tartarus and a fast asphodel

forest token
#

you'd only see them in sub6 runs typically

#

sub6 and below

#

for asphodel time you need to add the Asphodel and Lernie times in the splits

#

for faster aspho times, getting good at lernie is just more practice, could make a save state if you can

#

being patient with enemies is important because they all jump

#

try to identify the type of enemy waves you're going to have by seeing the first few enemies

#

try to adjust accordingly and try to kill troublesome enemies off spawn like the thwomp and wavemaker

#

if you see a ton of bloodless, try to hug a corner to manip their spawns so they dont spawn everywhere

#

same applies for spreaders so they dont spawn too far

hoary pasture
#

I have like 2 or 3

#

but i'd echo what the others are saying up there- a sub-1 asphodel, while possible, is not beginner speedrunner material. it's feasible on a small number of aspects, for very skilled players, with a very lucky combination of rooms

#

sub-1 not including lernie is much more realistic, just need to get comfortable on a good aspect

mint crow
quiet acorn
#

man i just

#

got ME in asphodel and reset sd in lava

#

but i didnt have my sd

forest token
#

it do be like that sometimes

should I try to get zeus call or settle with poseidon

keep poseidon

sinful zodiac
#

time out at hero

#

maybe something like dio call would have worked

sinful zodiac
#

tried dio call, no smair zagsad

#

died to snakestone after 15:33 elysium

sinful zodiac
#

3 tunnel and no sack

#

2 DD from athena too

forest token
#

it do be like that sometimes

#

dc2 isn't doing any favors

#

ngl dc only feels takable if you have cshot

#

is that pulv blow and fero guard?

sinful zodiac
#

yeah

#

really good hammer

#

maybe drunk strike is not the answer

forest token
#

yeah that might be it

#

i was gonna say pulv blow is good but it's being limited by drunk strike

#

although em4 seems like it's gonna be rough because it's (allegedly) anti melee

sinful zodiac
#

I was planning to cheese him with bull rush and drunken strike

forest token
#

doesnt seem too time efficient ngl lmao

sinful zodiac
#

it didn't come to that

wanton jolt
#

Is there a big difference in difficulty with 45 heat unmodded vs modded?

jaunty falcon
#

45 modded is quite a fair bit easier

#

Well, it’ll take a lot less time to get a good run

sinful zodiac
#

cf2 is more detrimental than I thought, testing some run on 32 heat without cf2 feel much better

#

Getting random legendary boon residentzag

left prism
#

Cf2 hating is totally valid

ashen garnet
#

cf1>cf2 forces you to skip some shop purchases when you could manage with a tight obol economy

sinful zodiac
#

I’m a centaur heart shopper so when a god I need show up, i’m already broke

sinful zodiac
#

How much time should you have coming into em4 styx?

mint crow
#

You shouldn’t do EM4 really unless it’s for fun or something

sinful zodiac
#

I’m trying for 50+ so it is good to learn anyway

quiet acorn
#

i dont think you take em4 until like 58

wispy blade
#

you can take it anywhere starting lowmid 50

#

people yell at me for trying em3 56

#

and 54

ashen garnet
#

58 EM3 is fine tbh

sinful zodiac
#

Is that like the maximum to not take em4?

wispy blade
#

if you wanna take ri4 over em4 go for it

sinful zodiac
#

Yeah no thank, no sd sound painful

wispy blade
#

for us peasants monodash is bad

ashen garnet
#

Could still cheese monodash with range or shield

wispy blade
#

could cheese em4 with 2 dash shield

ashen garnet
#

Also, but EM4 bad dusa

sinful zodiac
#

Iirc, 60 heat hestia is high roll hermes dash

wispy blade
#

yea

#

em4 monodash doesnt work

#

on non shield

ashen garnet
wispy blade
ashen garnet
#

Super hard yeah, but it's still possible

quiet acorn
#

im trying 52 heat with hestia and keep timing out at hades

wispy blade
#

how much time do u usually have

quiet acorn
#

i get to the 2nd half of the 2nd phase

wispy blade
#

hestia dad is like

#

3 min

quiet acorn
#

i end heroes with less than 30 seconds left

wispy blade
#

on em3 cp2

quiet acorn
#

yea im slower than that

wispy blade
#

idk where this timeloss is coming from

#

do some anyheat

#

get a sub8 or something

#

to practice going faster

quiet acorn
#

i lose most of my time to armoured dudes in elysium

wispy blade
#

i see

#

the strat there is to not get them

#

but also dont be kiting much

#

always be getting ur attacks in

#

if u need to dodge u need to dodge

#

but with sd you can be really aggro

quiet acorn
#

and then i get the eyeball splitter guys and the only way to reliably kill them would probably turning on aim at cursor

wispy blade
#

get close to them

#

and turn on aim at cursor if u need to

quiet acorn
#

i start hunter dash and hope for a good attack

#

should i start aphro attack instead

wispy blade
#

yes

#

get titan toppler

quiet acorn
#

what is that

wispy blade
#

divine dash

#

lets u play more aggro

#

opens dd

quiet acorn
#

what does it do other than reflect projectiles

wispy blade
#

deflects everything in heroes fight

#

every attack

#

and a lot of other melee attacks

quiet acorn
#

but arent they all empty dashes

wispy blade
#

?

quiet acorn
#

so i wont get hit anyway

wispy blade
#

no

#

you dash strike

quiet acorn
#

yes but only hit attack after the dash

wispy blade
#

how does hdash proc then

quiet acorn
#

im pretty sure theres a window

#

with a green flash

wispy blade
#

its when ur dashing

#

and u input dash strike

quiet acorn
#

theres a green sparkle for a few miliseconds after the dash that fades out

wispy blade
quiet acorn
#

well it works

#

i never had a problem with dash striking

#

ddash just messed up feiry presence when i got it

quiet acorn
wispy blade
#

yeah you can delayed dash strike

quiet acorn
#

what would be a good pace if i want 4 mins for hades

forest token
#

what's your general tartarus and asphodel time?

#

those two should (generally) be faster than other aspects

#

granted bad bp perks can exist but like generally

#

like a 3 min tart leave into a 2-3 min aspho sounds reasonable? i dont really do heat but it's a rough estimate

quiet acorn
#

tartarus keeps varying depending on whether i take a trial or erebus gate but it averages to around 3 30

forest token
#

that's fine

#

although trial is a bit questionable

quiet acorn
#

actually closer to 4

forest token
#

close to 4 isn't good

quiet acorn
#

i dont trials with hestia actually

forest token
#

that's good then

#

erebus is fine tbh, should save time on future biomes there

quiet acorn
#

i usually exit asphodel at 7:00 ish

forest token
#

or at least make it up

quiet acorn
#

and proceed to take 8 mins for elysium

forest token
#

yeah i was gonna say lmao

#

leaving at 7 isn't giving you a lot of time considering ely kinda just sucks

wispy blade
#

dont take erebus

#

trial can be fine

forest token
#

early erebus is fine imo

#

depends how early in tart

#

like c2-c4 erebus is fine

quiet acorn
#

yea its usually ffirst 3 chambers

forest token
#

if it's bad just reset

quiet acorn
#

if its a centuar heart

forest token
#

yeah centaur heart or pom goes a long way

#

+2 on aphro attack will clear you through like aspho lmao

#

assuming epic

#

but otherwise still good

#

and 50 hp kinda just good

quiet acorn
#

this kind of run ends up timing out to heroes

sinful zodiac
#

tried 55 heat, keep dying to furies because ri2

#

need to get good then

quiet acorn
#

50 to 55 is hard

sinful zodiac
#

get hit at meg with ri1 is fine

#

ri2 she just 2 shot you

#

how is he get there so fast?

forest token
#

a lot of practice lmao

#

time and practice is what it takes to get good at anything lmao

wispy blade
#

thats slow i think

#

im pretty sure u need more time

#

unless that was for styx entrance not dad

#

angel said 13-14 ely exit for 64 zeus so i guess its good time then

sinful zodiac
#

14 ely exit need 2 sack right?

#

feel really tight for 3 sack

wispy blade
#

yea

#

2 sack assumed

#

3sack is run dead

forest token
#

3 sack might be doable for your purposes tho

#

what js and cp levels are you doing

sinful zodiac
#

I was talking about her 64 heat

#

Em3 dad is fine, even cp2 can fit a 3 sack with 14 ely

forest token
#

oh yeah for 64 heat you need a 2 sack unless you get like god skips lmao

#

and a really good build

sinful zodiac
#

cursed heroic passion dash

#

died at chamber 34, suprised it took that long

sinful zodiac
forest token
#

he deleted his channel

#

baj deleted a lot of his stuff

sinful zodiac
#

at least I realized I haven't tried stacking enemies

#

mostly just joyriding the disc by running circle around enemies

#

which is fun i have to say

forest token
#

lmao that's a time killer unfortunately

sinful zodiac
#

yeah, gotta re learn how i play then

#

but the melee enemies in elysium is really good since they stacking themself

forest token
#

yeah they're nice

quiet acorn
#

i watched zyruvias hestia 60 heat

#

why do they take broken spearpoint?

ashen garnet
#

🦋 and Styx poison insurance probably (or insane maxHP, but doubting it at 60)

sinful zodiac
#

maybe try asking the man himself?

ashen garnet
#

Would say ddash, but time is looking fine so both seem valid depending on how safe you feel against EM4

quiet acorn
#

lets go with not safe lol

#

this will take weeks

#

i think dash is bad it keeps breaking pots

sinful zodiac
#

what is your worst lernie head? I keep dying because of the lava head

quiet acorn
#

Those arrow projectile ones

quiet acorn
#

lol i figured out why the 2nd phase keeps taking so much time

#

it keeps autoaiming at the pots

#

i barely get hits on hades

quiet acorn
#

if i have 7 mins for hades is it worth taking 3rd tunnel for a chance at zeus call

forest token
#

if you already have sack, no

#

you could have time to spare but also not worth the risk

#

7 min to kill dad should give you plenty to play safe

quiet acorn
#

i lose patty too

#

i have a good enough build

#

lol i straight up dont know the moveset

#

does the double sweep end with a spin or spearthorw

left prism
#

Ends with either of them

quiet acorn
#

and thank

quiet acorn
#

oof if turnedon ri3 just to try it once and aparently i forgot to turn it off for the past hour almost

#

without noticing

quiet acorn
#

i do i just nevr noticed

wispy blade
#

painge

quiet acorn
#

now i cant stop using only 1 dash

left swallow
#

why

quiet acorn
#

ive completely underestimated em4 theres no way im going to beat it any time this decade

#

i cant even beat it at 50 heat

#

atleast i dont take defensive keepsakes into elysium anymore

ashen garnet
#

EM4 kinda 4 super pricey heat increments at high-enough heat

quiet acorn
#

with js2 cp1 i usually get 7-8 mins for styx + hades which is more than enough

#

and i can consistently get there

#

but i dont even make it to the 3rd phase

sinful zodiac
#

The spear rush hurt like hell

#

And the miniboss in the last part of phase 1

#

For sure the hardest part

quiet acorn
#

im reconsidering using acorn i see why ppl dont use it

ashen garnet
#

savestates good in any case dusa

sinful zodiac
#

lose 40 heat with hestia clocket 💀

onyx igloo
#

what is high heat?

shy plinth
#

32+, typically

#

Though even within that very large bucket, there are many different levels

mint crow
#

Going for first 40 heat, pact tips?

#

Current pact is
HL5 LC4 CF2 JS2 EM3 BP2 MM UC FO2 TD3

wispy blade
#

although id take cf1 hs over cf2

mint crow
#

Okay

forest token
#

cf2 is fine on certain aspects imo

mint crow
#

Beo

forest token
#

if it's like a low boon needed aspect then why not but you wont be able to buy hearts

forest token
mint crow
#

Flood

forest token
#

i'd do cf1 hs

#

you'll need mirage for damage

mint crow
#

Yeh doing that pact now

forest token
#

js3 cf0 based tho

#

tbf beo generally doesnt have an issue with time, but that's dependent on the player lol

#

and rooms i guess

mint crow
#

I can manage what I have now fine

forest token
#

yeah you should be fine

#

cf1 isn't the end of the world

mint crow
#

Might be fine w js3 but not doing that the current run

#

Got mirage

#

And dead to lernie

forest token
#

it od be like that

sinful zodiac
#

now i know i'm not alone in dying to that hydra

forest token
#

you can generally only take like 4-6 hits or something, a head slam is generally about half your SD lol

i feel out of breath after watching that

What's the lowest impossible heat by any aspect?

forest token

like "what bad pacts can i take early on that would shaft my run" sorta thing?

#

question is kinda weird lmao

quiet acorn
#

I guess I basically meant which aspect has the lowest heat record ig lol

shy plinth
#

Would guess like chaos or talos

forest token
#

i think lowest is like 55 for modded

#

on gilga?

#

and unmodded i'm pretty sure there's a few at 53, hera being one of them iirc

#

and probably gilga

wispy blade

didnt nitr0 do some unmodded record

it was 50

EM4 FO1 stomped me

mint crow

I think I figured out something for my beo build

I’m doing HS to avoid CF2 and traps are not fun

#

Pots will be bad

I just remembered sure footing

is the 90% reduction multiplicative or additive to HS

When is the best time to summon during EM4 ?
I managed to reach the third phase at 50 heat but I didn't manage to get any extra DD from Athena and died so close konata_cry

left prism
#

I like to keep my summon avilable for dad's summons

pseudo kernel
#

you usually use it in the first phase

#

to get rid of butterfies or just get some more damage

lost hull
#

I think I was lucky to get the skull crusher in the first phase, the acorn tanked all the hits at that point

#

I had a great build but not having a second SD nor Pat is unforgiving KonataCry

#

AP1 CP1 EM4 feels way easier than AP2 CP2 EM3 tho

sinful zodiac

Try rama, just 2-3 shot all the head

#

Although i’m still struggling with the special on small target

#

Can’t aim attack with aim at mouse turn off

#

Plus having rsi probably not helping zagcry

quiet acorn
#

i dont understand rama

#

the other day i took 2 mins to beat the sneak

#

and died there

sinful zodiac

Take sometime to get used to, I’m by no mean an expert but it’s not that hard to pick up

Sneak with rama is not easy that for sure, maybe just meg

how to special on rama with kbm, i just can't consistently hit it

wispy blade

aim at enemy

press q

sinful zodiac
#

just get good then

wispy blade

its not the hardest to aim

#

it ricochets if u need it to

quiet acorn
#

it is the hardest to aim

wispy blade
#

not rlly

#

normal bow attack is worse

quiet acorn
#

tbf i forgot how to aim anything

sinful zodiac
#

zag bow is simple because it's much less apm

forest token
#

rama special is instant and it's somewhat likely to miss

#

for kbm at least

#

it's the same thing as flurry hera and we all know how fun that is on kbm lmao

forest token
wispy blade
#

i mean like

#

it also is just not that punishing to miss

#

you just do it agian

sinful zodiac

How do you aim bow with controller anyway

forest token
#

with the movement stick

forest token
sinful zodiac

time to flurry zag bow till i good at rama special lmao

as soon as my hand stop hurting tho

Easier to hit or miss lmao

Second time reaching the last phase of super dad fight
I was so close but got scared because I had 99 HP left and he was one or two full cast away from dying
He healed and I lost KonataCry

#

I had a really good setup with two Hestia duos, Apollo's legendary and one extra SD from Athena but I'd have needed a second one apparently

#

And 5 bloodstones and a braid and a chaos boosting the cast

#

The third phase is really hard

lost hull
#

I'm starting to consider switching out EM4 with RI or smth like that
Like it's a lot harder but I'm pretty bad against superdad

you dont need em4 or ri

wispy blade
#

are you doing pash

#

if you get a few poms it's fine

lost hull
#

I'm doing hestia's cast because I like the dot, the Athena duo and the legendary but I should probably change that for 50 heat

wispy blade
#

wat

sinful zodiac
#

Modded god

wispy blade
#

just do pash

sinful zodiac
#

Hestia, apollo, that sort of stuff

wispy blade
#

dot beo sounds like trash

#

literally the most burst damage aspect that exists

lost hull
#

Hestia's legendary pulls all foes, including bosses, where I put my cast, so that's extremely convenient against tough bosses, and goes well with dot
But yeah I didn't manage to get it a single time so ig I'll try pash

sinful zodiac
#

Most people don’t use modded god unfortunately

#

I don’t really know how they function to really give insight

lost hull

Do you have one of those graphs for pash pom scaling? I wanna compare the burst damage

it's 60% with half diminishing returns off

The burst damage is actually not that higher compared to Hestia's AMthink but the weak curse could be nice to last longer

sinful zodiac

I feel like beo should be good for em4 because of how fast it is

lost hull

Common lvl 3 is 165 burst, 33 dot

what is lvl1 vs lvl2

lost hull

lvl1 is 70
lvl2 is 126

wat da hell they made it 80%

Beo just has the iframe bug

And prefers to not have cshot for em4

#

So slower rooms

sinful zodiac
#

Is the boon damage inside the lua file, i’m reading the mod code but reading code on phone is cursed

#

Just skim through the code, the base value is 70/14, rarity multiplier 1/1.145/1.290/1.435, 80% with maybe half diminishing return

#

Can’t confirm the last part yet

wispy blade
#

pom scaling is either 80/60/40/2

nocturne stag
#

It's my understanding that the primary reason heightened security is avoided as much as possible is the Hades pots. Is that right?

rapid hawk

depends on the person I guess, but yeah pots will nuke you for 150 damage

same with Styx traps
