Dash only
How could you be so fast with 50 of heat
and fingers hurt
Dash only is literally 1 button
wat
Well 5 for wasd
thats pretty slow
But dash only is pretty fun
Oh
they werent playing speed
maybe i will play gilgamesh by unequiping and using eris instead
Based
with heartbreak strike
Which is?
Oh boy

Everything here translates to heat pretty much
actually i will try supersoaker eirs
I try to had heat 1 by 1 ^^
do you have to face dad to block, I keep getting hit with the tail end of second phase sweep
since I was facing his back
oops i started plume and swapped to god keepsake accidentally
sad this timed out
a fountain + an armoured flamewheel room couldve made it work
or whatever a fast room is
instead i get health buffed double damage greatshields and unarmoured archers
Should I get all the rewards for every weapon before I go to a new heat or should I simply go to a new heat once I have the option?
As long as you hit themmeter you will get the reward even if it exceeds the gauge
i don’t want titan blood, i want my 5 hp
But yeah, the reward is incremental even if you exceed required heat
Just go ham
What did you guys do in the early stages of the game?
If i ''go ham'', should i only stick with one weapon and upgrading it?
Because i'm not sure if i will have enough titan blood for every weapon
I upgraded meta aspect and grind them
I maxed all the aspects before completing like half the bounties
And still 100% the game
Titan blood comes with fine - don't worry, you'll get there
So like do whatever you like lol
For what it's worth, you're more than welcome to ask for advice in here, but the feedback will be geared towards ultra high end content since this is high heat strats
I cheated the blood the first time 
Based
We're happy to answer questions! But you're gonna get a very specific type of answer
Noted, where can i ask these types of questions?
Ye
And again you're welcome to ask here
Just be aware that we're a bunch of degens lol
i completed bounties one by one on whatever weapon had dark thirst on it
until that got boring halfway through and i did 32 heat
Funny how you play the game at high heat, you start to appreciate the thing you can do at low heat
Trial, charon or erebus
Skipping midshop too, i hate taking midshop with nothing to buy
i can even skip midshop in a speedrun
ive taken trial over midshop multiple times
i missed aspho midshop last night because of enshrouded lmao
+1 stone tho :)
i dont even need enshrouded to miss aspho midshop
charon i die to at low heat as well 
TRUE
although im pretty sure the other room would've been midshop
that what you think
it was a 2 exit
idk if that means anything
c20 midshop sounds about right
idk but like i still missed it lmao
yeah i think so
i always felt it was more of a dash strike delay but i haven't played gilga in ages
whhy do they make stuff intentionally harder and worse
I don’t think hidden aspect got as much play testing as other aspect
So balancing issue is expected
We got the extreme of both spectrum with beo and gilga lmao
i think ea players said like gilga was released as the game globally launched
so it got no testing lmao
beo was 2nd to last so there wasn't enough testing for that, which is why they're lots of bugs
also beo meta was charged flight so that didn't help lmao
based
I think the beo lore actually start when player was forced to speedrun with it
ddash only
Sigh, mah bad
But people actually realized beo potential when they practice it
I’m a lore nerd but finding early access lore is kinda hard 
this thing is like playing with a chaos dash curse permanently on
and i thought chiron was unintuitive
lmfao
tbf chiron is intuitive it's just like decent at one thing
gilga just like
sucks lol
i thought ill do a meme run for 40 but im actuall stuggling
tbf gilga kinda bad
I think going for smair is actually easier
Start tdash then hoping for aphro
Zeus aspho
Concentrated knuckle?
Draining is useless
Not sure about rush kick being detrimental or not
if i have rare hyperdelivery would i get more dps from +3 dash or +40% haste
dash probablly
this build is juiced
40% haste is 80% more movement speed, 3/4 of that is like 60%, so 120% more damage in 2 dashes
3 dashes probably does more damage
Idek if my math is right
more dashes is fun
True
im going to upload that dad fight it ended so fast
lol i thought lucifer sucks until i realized im still on 1 dash
19/24 40 heats done
what do you have left
swords and spears
hades zagspear
zagsword
pos
nemesis
uh technically zagrail
but the 50 should count
it should lmao yeah
unless you wanna submit all 24 runs to the 40 heat speed leaderboard
you'll have a giant wall of False Side on the leaderboard tho
how do these leaderboards work
i keep hearing stuf like sheet and leaderboard but which is it referring to
idk why i tried picking up the flaming hot garbage known as rama again
i died to butterfly miniboss
Should've just not died tbh
could be bad sd management
or like butterfly hit stun lol
they still spawn before you can power shot
other aspects can go like right on top and be fine
rama needs distance and might move to a different location before you can get a second power shot in
might've spawned an ely archer too lmao
ri0 ap2 is funny, I got too many boons that taking pom is a huge risk
so I just stack hp and overtime at dad lmao
when should I take pom, feel like lv2 zeus special at dad is kinda sus
15:30 entrance btw
entrance into dad?
i mean i feel like at that point it's too late lmfao
if you only have thunder flourish for your damage and no scaling you prob want more poms into that
it'll probably work tho tbh it'll just take a bit
i think when i did like 40 or 45 without static discharge it took a while
yeah idk how long i took since it doesn't have splits and i didn't record high heat runs back then
but i do remember it taking a good amount of time
Do someone have tips to speed up my runs? Best Time IS 13:14 and It seems very slow compared to you all
(I looked at the video to have a decent build but still too slow it seems :/)
my pb was around 13 when I first cleared 50 so it's probably fine
depend on the pact mostly
it was a 3 sack too
practice and watch other peoples runs on yt
'kek
Nephioh arthur run had that
Dad fight was quite scary after 20 minutes on timer, especially the last laser you see on thumbnail. Double Edge and Chaos were some solid offensive picks and Athena on the defensive pick. I did not take 2nd hammer on purpose: it would be unfortunate if I get either cursed slash or dash nova.
EM4 encounter guide: https://docs.google.com/documen...
wow u watch everything lol
thats a pretty famous run tho
I’m a nerd lmao
i have barely watched any high heat runs at all
only remember and eris one a hestia one and gilgamesh recentl
Arthur probably cap at 58 because dc2 and ri3 shafted it too badly
No boiling blood is pain
And no one want to em4 cp2 with arthur
So 57 it remain
does divine dash even help for safety if i hav delta chamber
i dont think so technically since you have full iframes on dash strikes already
but also like ddash is fun lmao
You can always go for divine flourish to fish for dd. TIL most flourish have the same multiplier
divine and frost have similar/same i believe
yeah i find myself using pash dash and divine flourish more often
pos is 2nd highest, aphro highest
weak is awesome for em4
aph 80 pos 70 athena/dem 60 arty 40 or 96
i was just wondering if i was missing out on something by not using ddash
idk how yuo beat em4 i die with 4 defiances
5 dashes
i stick to em3 gaming
i died at 32 heat 2 days ago
boonless lucifer
holy sht it unmodded
yeah
sub7 zeus
yea but thats you
32 Heat with RI4 
i already did mirrorless boonless 32 i think
any bow 32 heat but unbind the attack button - also no chaos boons or dash boons
that sounds like rama special only lmao
honestly zag bow with thunder flourish might be better

give it a whirl imo
playing speed is awful im nevr doing this again
it's not that hard tbh
which bow is that?
rama
rama of course
based
zeus
also easier for getting ddash and defiances which i have learnt to crutch upon
If you go from 25 to 50, you will no get titan blood I suppose? Or just one time?
bounties cap at 20 heat, 25 on hell mode
Oooooh, I didn't knew that O_O
but if you havent completed bounties upto 20 yet you will get the next levels bounties as long as the heat is higher than or equal ot the requirement
I completed 17 heat rail bounties by doing 40 heat on hestia lmao
Missed out on good hp smh
But, If you do the 20 heat, but haven't completed between 5 to 19 that skip the blood?
if you do 20 heat you will get the bounties of 5
Nope! It'll only reward you for the lowest bounties you've yet to collect
if you do it at 20 again you will get the bounties of 6
It's certainly easier to run them in order
i feel like there have to be points of heat where running exactly that heat is harder than some other heat above it
would you want more dashes or hypersprint
i guess sprint if you have nectar for 2nd herms
Like how 1 heat hs is harder then 3 heat td2?
ri4 is harder than like idk em2 td3 lmao
no like
you know how at some points in the progression you take like
hl1 or something for filler
or like 12 heat is listed as em3 mm bp1 uc
but em3 mm uc td2 would be easier
but that’s more heat
i mean isn't that more or less the examples we gave but less extreme
no cause it’s like
ri4 is obviously a bad choice for 8 heat right
i mean just like being forced to take worse pacts because a pact that might be easier is worth more heat
while not trying to make a meme pact or anything
isn't that just reddit pacts
redditge
i wonder if it scales with ur other boons
no
other than
sweet surrender
maim
targeting system
anything else which affects enemy damage taken
once one of the blue guys backstabed
Finally surviving lernie with 1 sd monodash
Jesus that was hell
Well that was easy, even got offered greatest reflex
Lernie hardest boss fr
man i used up my athena dd in a tiny styx chamber
hit a sawblade thrice
ddash is rigged even empty dashes dont deflect or give iframes
They do except a few frames when starting and finishing your dash 
ah thats what probably screwed me over
can any one send a clip of beatin alecto
die
-dont keep doing rotation
-go around alecto instead of towards
-dont waste ur dashes
i think im just bad at the game and try enough times until i eventually do something due to probability
you'll figure it out
So I’m doing 50 heat (not hell mode) on beo so I took em4 over ap2 and thinking if I should take both and take off some HL and CP
Unmodded and on console
Not being able to one hit unarmored witches feels bad
with the special
is it normal for 90+% of runs to end in tartarus
the one i showed
i just die to furies
over
and over
and over
and over
if i cross them i reach hades
and die
just twice
so you can do that pact but fo2 and then take off like
a point in js cp and pl
or ri and 1 js
or just that pact
why would you do that pact
i dont like thisg ame but i must play it
same thing right
its like the same thing but less mobility
tbf achilles is like
i wil ldo zagspear after all weps
not safe at all lmao
heres what i did
damage isnt problem i just suck at using dash to dodge
for anything
for the past 2 month i just take either delta chamber or +dashes with ddash and avoid learnign to dash
doyou actually have to stop attacking and empty dash when you are supposed to dash
becaise thats very boring and unfun way to pplay
not always
just when u need iframes
you have played enough to know the enemy attack patterns
if ur in a place where ur gonna get hit by an attack thats coming u empty dash
idk upload a vod
i already permanently quit this game 4 times
im begiinning to thing meg and alecto arent clearable
i havent beaten either in 2 whole days
ill make a compilation
ill wait for it to process i cant rly see anything
its hd
yea the hd hasnt processed yet
no the hd processed
doesnt happen
why does your meg telegraph her attacks
also is lucifer reload bugged
letting go of atk doesnt autoreload when it hits 0 50% of the time
ill have to record this as well
idk wtf you did
but i cannot
do
it
at all
i cant tell that much without watching a vod
all my attempts feel pointless
but maybe ur underestimating the range
try and circle around the fury with ur dashes
dont go like directly towards or away
oh well luci is way different
but i mean
i guess that principle applies
go in circle
not in line
i feel like u just have to get atleas 200 hp so you can tank the undodgable attacks
every single ground circle is undodgeable
just dont attack during that period
they have 0 cooldown they pop as soon as theyappear
use ur dash iframes
i have like 12 clips
from the past hour
ill get like 8 more and compile them
idk why im suddenly having a problem with this i used to be able to near consistently clear even with ri2
i think i should switch back to abysal
because it's strategies for how to beat meg at high heat?
because the context was 50 heat or something iirc
unless you mean to tell me you think 50 heat is low heat
64 heat is the only high heat. 63 is for babies
ohhhh
i though that was like normal meg
i got confused
i think i can do fists 50 heat soon
i mean i tried 1 attempt
you can use td2 to take the fight slower, you seem to struggle with tis circle waves
iframe or go the opposite direction is easier but you can't really do it if you are panic
1 min is more than enough
chaos dem luci arthur achilles on my todo list
luci should be free il ldo that now
all attempts are dying to random asphodel chambers for some reason
either that
or speeder bomber guys
spend their time in the air and occasionally visit the ground
understandable
i think ill try drunk with ap2 ri0
there are 3 of them iirc
purple explode in place only
green throw homing bomb
and the normal one have 2 attacks yeah
actually I don't remember much about the green one, but I hate them the most
yeah the green one can throw a fast bomb or homing bomb
yeah I'm not an expert on lernie but did you press anything mid dash?
might have more luck asking other because I don't really understand deflect that well
Deflect doesn’t work against aoe, or I just have horrible timing
fwiw, I remember that ddash deflect lasts for longer than ddash iframes
Animation kinda misleading
I would be logical to not deflect a bonk on the head
Deflect also doesn’t work on hades’ swing, iframes are better, just need to be careful to not press something
any situation where ud take midshop over eurydice?
Low life no dd
man lucifer sucks so bad it takes forever to kill literally anything
have to use the entire clip to take the armour off an armoured enemy
Lazy
well whats the point of anything
You dont need to do that for 40
Looks more like the path of pain
Don’t really know how people do path of pain in hk, i’m so bad at that game so i end up back here lmao
pretty much like every game once its muscle memory it gets much easier
not quite as much muscle memory as others, since cycles and hold to jump are very big factors
its moreso pure skill and knowledge of how to do stuff
it just shows the biome you died in anyway
for eris as 2nd god would u force athena or aphro
extra dds sound awesome but weak/smair possibility sounds great too
Tis moment
true
i did 😎
what about after that
fair enough
lernie moment
shield is always comfy
yeah, really comfy, just have to get to dad fast enough
I took earing all the way to styx btw
based
damn gamer
it was the only way, aspho 8;30 exit
i was trying zagrail 52 recently i had a 9:57 aspho exit
it does piss damage
no
zeus
spread fire kinda dangerous at 52 tbf
😃
Considering it's only ap1 you still have a decent chance at Rd lmao
if u have 3 stone and no chaos do u take common shot or grasp?
I'd take grasp
Grasp
can you get blizzard shot?
I mean probably standard juiced speed build lmao
Rd and ichors would make it a lot easier
Mirage, rare+ Rd, and like 3 ichors probably lmao
Braids and stones and whatnot
Chaos buffs
If you get mirage and Rd then it shouldn't be that bad tbh
Thatd work
Mirage and Rd would make like a sub1 normal dad fight
For em4 it'd probably be like 1:30 idk
Assuming like no other additives
yea but heat so you have to be safe too
It's beo tho lmao
You can get away with some sloppiness
As long as you have big chunks it should be fine
Still have to play clean but I wouldn't like stress about it that much
Well don't do that lmao
wait not it
Also why don't you dash strike your cshots
idk it was very sloppy
i had half given up because all i had was +1 stone
and nothing else
No mirage?
i mean mirage is a given
Tbf that's not bad
yea but im only doing this for instaphase numbers
Then why are you doing high heat lmao
Lmfao
"damn too easy"
I mean at that point you just need better rng if you're gonna do that
ri0 ap0 still so its basically anyheat
If you're going for a standard speedrunning build at that high heat then just get the boons idk man
True
ill try with clockets at 50 heat
Em4?
yea
Yeah just get the 2 hammers
Eris still needs Rd and ichors for that damage iirc
Or like really good chaos
Beo is probably easier tbh
You benefit from wells more
40 heat speed gaming?
yea my pb is just below 10
Ap1 because fiery rocket kinda good
Dc2 still slows you down
They're not going for sub6 it's fine

well yea
It's only pain if you really grind it past like sub7 or sub8
There's no pact variation for 40 heat speed lmao
or something
32 heat has more leniency
do u still take hc at 32 or is that too 😬
you can do partial lc pacts
It's pointless
i think they're viable
Or that
Lc4 kinda shafts hc
the issue isn't dying
the issue is chaos
with 50 hp you are not guaranteed to be able to enter chaos
Youd actually need centaur hearts lmao
yeah you need 1 or 2
Ngl I've always underrated hc until like last night
I had 1 stone damage at lernie then I lost hc
Then it wasn't 1 stone
I was sad
For tart ik it's important but I've kinda underrated it past tart
Yeah I know now lmao
thats why you'll sometimes see people on beo take hydralite at patty
gamers what is the best way to beat 32 heat?
check pins
There's a guide pinned
i wonder who wrote it
apple or something
but yeah basically
heatspeed is like anyheat except worse in every way
for 32 and 40
plume for aspho if u have everything right
worse pbs so easier to beat
strongly depends
there are more things
hourglass purse
egg even
another god
earring
at heatspeed maybe
New meta
if only the one good 40 heat aspect always wants to do something into aspho
what is the difference other than mm no survival and uc
bp
em3
cf
no hc
you can get, in c2, a 3waver of individual thugger armored thugs
ah yea
i have beter things to do
give me a random heat thing to do
nem ME
no sword
zagspear exploding launcher
epic swwift fourish goes hard
no charged skewer goes soft
time out 🗿
no damage with charged skewer
heatspeed 50 doesn't care about hc because of ri2 :croven:
how good is piercing fire, I rewatched haelian 58 hestia it's seem really good and doesn't get bricked as bad against shield and savior
its nice 2nd hamer but i wouldnt set as first
ricochet is kinda better for consistency
piercing shields and getting line ups are def nice tho
true lmao
if you're doing unmodded tho it's kinda hard to brick on hestia hammers i think
it's just like spread fire and delta chamber that suck
yeah some are a lot worse than others but they still benefit you in some way i think
well
oh flurry fire too
well that's kinda what i mean
yeah that's fair tbh
or cursed slash
yeah wrong term but you get the idea lmao
most of the time you'll get something that benefits you
ap2 is free (it is probably not)
yeah there’s usually something decent
hazard ricochet piercing targeting triple cluster rocket
whenever i finish my 50 no resets beo i'm probably gonna try to get a 50 heat unmodded on hestia
dc2 hestia 
Yikes I hope that never happens to me
watch the dad fight, he revived
and the guy've just became the second person to clear 64 unseeded unmodded
same thing with athena dd fill sd slot
i mean in a sense, why remove it when it's still healthy for the game
I mean no one is going to fix anything at this point
but the athena thing gives you extra slot, so that at least looks like it's supposed to work that way
this one visually removes it but still works which feels weird
no, only chaos give you extra slot, athena only fill it
athena fill it but then you get SD in addition
but you have two slots when it's active
is my point
you actually have that slot
here it goes away
yeah, i can see your point since athena dd is visible, this is just weird
probably relate to ri4 hiding all dd but not actually delete it i guess
like I'm not saying it shouldn't count or anything, there's plenty of bugs in this game that get used all the time, and I don't really care about it one way or another, but the fact that he refills the DD, gets the refill and then loses the slot itself when switching skelly off implies that the game is removing the DD, so I would say the intention was to remove the DD
although I could of course be wrong
what bug
in the video above, he uses skelly DD, buys a DD refill off a well, then switches skelly to acorn
but in hades fight he dies and it triggers the DD
you can see it when he leaves aspho
and the DD slot went away when he switched to acorn
thats a sick bug
you can probably ignore it if you don't ever intend to touch ri4
at what point is it a bug though
I think athena thing is probably a bug but the dev just keep it
on sd?
is it not faster to reset in c2
i dont understand how room difficulty works
sometimes i get a 4 skullomat 1 waver in c12 with js3
sometimes i get a 3 waver in c6 with third wave having 4 skullomats + witches

as long as the sum of enemies difficulty add up to chamber difficulty
what is your build??
explo launcher zag spear?
I would take nectar tbh, it's ap1

The meme carry on
the meme die
ok so
imagine
same situation but aphro
yea resetting for 2nd hamemr is cringe
zagrail probably most unsatisfying weapon in the game
its like eris but completely dry
zeus shield is the way
wait what, literally the best heat climber aspect 
my live reaction
just need to get better without explosive return
I want to try if i can do it with 3 or 4 sack
my first unmodded 50 was 3 sack
but that run was blessed
i was going to try eris unmodded today
then i realized that means no mods
so i didnt
understandable
td0 strats
nvm it only works if you can be 100% certain you can block everything in the game
as long as you don't stand too close too him
only spear throw and skull throwing go through shield at point blank
as far as i know
people had done it
but do you really want to sit over 1h rta for a clear
it's a based pact, not a fun pact
I would rather get gud with em4
what was the bug with dio beo again
Poms increase by twice as much as the description says
So instead of common being 100 -> 160 its 100 -> 220
ok and i think someone said something about mirage shot unbugging on it?
Untrue
dam
how much hp to phase em3 bul
4s 
wat
good anyheat ranges from like 4-8 lmao
like it's fine
my standards are much lower lmfao
ive been sleepiing on bio
overrated
bad game
Caption: jazzcat absolutely floored by the excellent opinions expressed in the Supergiant Games Discord's Hades channels
im sure zeus is the worst shield
True
😔
Zeus is so bad it can't do 65 heat
i try to use the special and die
zeus shield is like chaos shield except its slower and theres only 1 special instead of 5
Ri moment
i think any future. fun runs i do will be at 40 heat not too easy but not require more than like 2-3 attempts to get the boons
This didn't age well
lmfao
it really did not
mysterra did like 70 heat or something
tbf no ri, ap, and cf1 or something
but still like mad impressive
Yea
Where are y'all obtaining 70 heat?
99 heat mod
Why stop at 99?
it just lets you add higher amounts to the current pact
idk lmao
maybe that's how high the heat counter was programmed to be
and they dont want to mess with that but everything else was fine
IG eventually most of the pacts stop doing anything if you add more
Unreal
ap3 and td4 exist, ri can't get higher than ri4
With the worst shield aspect as well
Can't even do 71 heat
There's only so many total benefits to be added to each enemy, eventually you get enough hard labor that you die if you're hit, and you can't really heal less than 100% less healing
Td-1 u get healed for going overtime
Pots scale with hl?
hs2
I mean you could make new mini boss buffs for mm but that'd be weird
Ohk
