is it possible you skipped it with chaos or something?

daring hedge
#

nope, took no chaos

true fable
#

story?

daring hedge
#

what do you mean

true fable
#

sisy/eurydice/patty

daring hedge
#

had eurydice and patty

true fable
#

those are the only rooms i know of that really mess with exits

daring hedge
#

never was a choice between that and hammer though

#

if it wasn't 3sack and i got a good second hammer

sly remnant
#

60 heat

daring hedge
#

oh well

sly remnant
#

good god tail

#

good try tho

#

damn

honest kernel
#

Wait 60 already

#

Was 59 done or what

daring hedge
#

nah

sly remnant
#

i think he decided the difference between CP1 and CP2 wasn't worth grinding a 59 AND 60 clear. so he'd just get it over with

daring hedge
#

pretty much

honest kernel
#

Fair enough

shy gulch
#

damn

#

3 sack stopped me from beating 50 heat, died to timer just as 2nd half of phase 2 started

#

unfort

#

tho I might’ve been able to get it if I played first phase better

daring hedge
#

yeah first phase for that one was butterfly ball first up, which is the worst possible one to get for rama

shy gulch
#

oof that’s rough

sly remnant
#

chargi- butterfly stun butterfly stun butterfly stun

daring hedge
#

speedy dad chases you down while butterflies prevent you from fighting back

#

very fun thank you

next marsh
#

does anyone here besides baj play keyboard/mouse?

gentle bridge
#

i do, but my highest is only 32.

also, since im getting 32heat down quite consistently, what would be better: slowly upping the heat or just jumping to 40?

shy gulch
#

i uh

#

technically play kbm

#

bright does too

next marsh
#

wdym technically

shy gulch
#

my keybindings r really odd so I don’t use the mouse

#

just the keyboard

sly remnant
#

croven plays keyboard

#

i play keyboard mouse

shy gulch
#

I basically play it like a controller

daring hedge
#

LMAO than just roasted me for no reason?

next marsh
#

???

daring hedge
#

when he never had before like this

sly remnant
#

rofl what did he say

daring hedge
#

sometimes when you finish a chamber he's like "you're reckless but you're quick" but for some reason after a brief pause and me hitting him for fun he just goes

#

"idiot."

sly remnant
#

LMAO

next marsh
#

i mean

gentle bridge
#

hmmm (thinking) will arcade sticks be any good? i gotta try it

next marsh
#

you did hit him

daring hedge
#

but i always hit than after the encounter

#

it's tradition

#

but this time he just got me back

next marsh
#

oh i see

shy gulch
#

two rooms of linking duplicating numbskulls

#

in Tartarus

#

good lord

next marsh
#

well there goes your timer

#

ouch

shy gulch
#

no I just straight up died LOL

next marsh
#

oh ouch

true fable
#

baj and tyler both do kbm as well

#

crovens stream is some nice high heat asmr rn

shy gulch
#

lol

#

no 2 sack, pain

#

speedy teleporting crystals in Styx r rough

true fable
#

so much pain

daring hedge
#

so remember earlier when i said elite chariots don't scare me
nevermind to that when they're speeder slugger in that one elysium chamber that's extremely small

true fable
#

LOL

mossy zinc
#

BP3 when?

dire steppe
#

C l o n e r L i n k e r S l u g g e r time

#

or cloner linker savior if you prefer

shy gulch
#

sigh

#

died to heroes again

#

didn’t get patty which kinda lost it, I was low on time anyways

north dove
#

which weapon?

shy gulch
#

hestia

mossy zinc
#

Linker Speeder Savior.

north dove
#

ah so TD2 is not really in the cards huh

shy gulch
#

yeah not really

#

I know I can do it I just need to get marginally lucky and play well

north dove
#

How many levels of BP would you take if there wasn't a cap on it and each subsequent level gave 1 more heat than the last?

#

go all in on BP8

onyx venture
#

There was already a lot of balancing around BP2, I'd hate to have to balance more shadeembarassed

north dove
#

that's 44 heat right there

shy gulch
#

armored numbskulls would be invincible

north dove
#

unless you have B L A D E D A S H

daring hedge
#

man, i dunno what it is about my runs but the bottom right corner always gets completely filled with cerberus circles in EM4

#

it's seriously just not safe anymore

#

the way i lost that one was really sad; cerberus circles stacked in that corner and i couldn't really escape any of them, so SD was gone from PL. then, pot and laser combo

true fable
#

im starting to think that blade dash is actually the best fists dash

#

unless you're running athena dash obvi

gentle bridge
#

ares dash carries a lot of my bad runs

north dove
#

Honestly the Nem victory made me appreciate drunken dash a lot more than I used to

shy gulch
#

missed patty again and died to heroes

#

I need to get better at this fight

mossy zinc
daring hedge
#

i actually had drunken dash in that attempt i mentioned earlier and it helped a ton with building call and actually doing damage to sneaks

mossy zinc
#

8 of these hammer upgrades are not Charged Skewer.

#

Guess which.

true fable
#

is that flaring nyaanyaa

#

whats next to serrated in C?

daring hedge
#

massive

mossy zinc
#

Massive Spin.

true fable
#

fair

north dove
#

Massive over Quick thanthink

true fable
#

give me flurry jab GY or give me death

mossy zinc
#

Massive Spin has +125% damage and huge AOE.

true fable
#

i kind of wish spear just did more damage per hit but flurry jab was worse

#

yk?

mossy zinc
#

Top 3 are hammers you need for DPS.

#

Quick Spin and Breaching Skewer can also help, but not as much as the top 3.

#

I thought about putting them in the same tier, but I think if you don't have one of the top 3 hammers yet, you should pick one of them for DPS. So that's why it's higher.

true fable
#

i for sure thought serrated would be above massive spin

#

i guess it's the safety?

mossy zinc
#

Yeah.

#

Single dash Serrated Point is yikes.

#

Demeter Aspect.

#

Actually.

true fable
#

kinetic launcher in D ?

mossy zinc
#

Yup.

#

I think it's way overrated.

sly remnant
#

I put kinetic launcher in f tier because I'm bad and can't use it

true fable
#

^that cuz you have attack at cursor on

#

kinetic launcher is still aoe

proud jay
#

Whats next to long knuckle in B?

true fable
#

flying i think

mossy zinc
#

Flying Cutter, yeah.

true fable
#

also he appears pog

proud jay
#

How is that good, srs question

true fable
#

have you been off in some remote mountaintop grinding EM4

proud jay
#

Enjoying christmas at mom's

true fable
#

ah i see

#

enjoy away

mossy zinc
#

Double base damage, charges really fast now, cuts a path through your enemies.

true fable
#

im also curious to hear about flying cutter

#

hmmm

#

need to try it out a bit more i guess

#

is it 2x or +100%?

mossy zinc
#

It's +100% base damage. That's x2.

sly remnant
#

When I go back and record my dem fists I might try some weird stuff

proud jay
#

I guess flying cutter is something i could've utilized in winstreaking

true fable
#

twin shot is 2x, not +100% though

proud jay
#

Not sure i was offered it

#

If it says +100% base, it means double damage in practice

true fable
#

ok

#

need to try it some more then

mossy zinc
#

Just gotta be mindful that it doesn't apply to Dash-Uppers, so don't do a Dash right before you try to charge a Flying Cutter with the buff.

#

Because you'll whiff a Dash-Upper before you charge the Flying Cutter.

sly remnant
#

I never realized that. Im glad I was in this chat when you said that

true fable
#

i still want justice for kinetic launcher but im down to try flying now

proud jay
#

I was hoping to pick up kinetiic launcher in my zag fist runs

true fable
#

sounds like you could phase bosses with arty special flying cutter

#

i guess you can phase bosses with arty special either way

sly remnant
#

Arti truly best girl

mossy zinc
#

Yeah, it's very nice for bosses. You can just charge for free when they phase and get some high damage in.

shy gulch
#

pain.

true fable
#

so much pain

#

im sorry croven

shy gulch
#

I think that’s it for tonight

#

I’m too tilted

true fable
#

that looked like a tough fight

sly remnant
#

What happened

shy gulch
#

I got realllly unlucky in hades fight

true fable
#

full HP and SD until 1/3 HP phase 2

#

then pot and lasers

sly remnant
#

Oof

shy gulch
#

yep

sly remnant
#

Regular dad or EM4 dad

shy gulch
#

regular

#

which somehow makes it worse

sly remnant
#

BIG YIKES

shy gulch
#

bc I should have easily had that

sly remnant
#

I'm sporry

shy gulch
#

to be fair i definitely coudlve done better

sly remnant
#

Pots are....nasty

shy gulch
#

i somehow got an extra dd with AP2 and then lost it to theseus

#

when he was like one hit from dying

#

that was unfortunate

sly remnant
#

Oof

shy gulch
#

god im actually so tilted LMAO

true fable
#

ive thrown that fight a number of times though

#

you'll get it next time

main delta
#

u got this next time croven

#

dont give up!

shy gulch
#

yeah i'll prob continue later tonight or tomorrow

mossy zinc
#

What Heat?

shy gulch
#

50

mossy zinc
#

I see.

main delta
#

probably best to take a break tho, i always play better with a clear head

mossy zinc
#

Guess you didn't have what it takes. dusa

shy gulch
#

pain.

mossy zinc
shy gulch
#

i mean unironically i got everything i needed that run, barring maybe a hermes boon but still

sly remnant
#

We all just have Stockholm syndrome in this channel honestly

shy gulch
#

so to not win after that is just

#

f

mossy zinc
#

The fight is hard. Especially when you're going for a new Heat PB or record or something.

shy gulch
#

it was regular dad not em4

mossy zinc
#

Yes.

#

m talking about the regular fight.

shy gulch
#

i usually feel like hes one of the easier parts of these runs

#

but i think i got a bit lenient after going into phase 2 with an acorn charge

mossy zinc
#

Especially when you're going for a new Heat PB or record or something.

#

Not in those cases, he sure isn't. dusa

shy gulch
#

yea thats fair

#

well whatever i'll get it soon

true fable
#

👑

#

chin up laddie

mossy zinc
#

It's relatively easy to not get hit, but you also can't get hit because he does so much damage. Just a couple screw-ups can end your run easily.

shy gulch
#

yeah

#

thats p much what happened

#

i got doinked for like 80+ 3 times

#

and then bam

true fable
#

yup

sly remnant
#

You'll get other chances. 50 is just a number. The important thing is what you are learning about aspects and the game while you do it

shy gulch
#

50 is a number but its a sexy number

#

i will get that sexy number

true fable
#

true

#

i might be doing some atts in a bit

shy gulch
#

atts?

cosmic gyro
#

Also fun.

true fable
#

want to do beo/chaos/hestia

#

attempts

shy gulch
#

o

true fable
#

idk why i abbreviated lmao

shy gulch
#

good luck

true fable
#

TY

shy gulch
#

have u gotten 50 yet?

true fable
#

nah

shy gulch
#

o dang

true fable
#

im hardstuck 45 KEK

shy gulch
#

lmk if u stream

#

ha get owned ive done 46

sly remnant
#

Its a number. Just remember that.

main delta
#

beo sounds absolutely ridiculous at 50+, i dont understand how people do that

shy gulch
#

^

#

i need to watch retrash's vid

mossy zinc
#

At this point, I just expect I'll throw the fight a handful of times when I try a new challenge before m more comfortable in it.

shy gulch
#

that sounds absurd

main delta
#

tyler do u have a vod of your run?

shy gulch
#

yeah i need to learn the hades fight without extra movement lol

sly remnant
#

Yea its on the sheet

shy gulch
#

most times i got to him i had an extra dash or hyper sprint

main delta
#

gotcha, i’ll check it out

shy gulch
#

so im not too used to it with just 2 dashes

main delta
#

u did a cast build right?

edgy arrow
shy gulch
#

51?

#

i think retrash did 51

mossy zinc
#

Practice single-dash Hades.

edgy arrow
#

retrash right?

#

yeah

sly remnant
#

Yea 51

edgy arrow
#

i was wondering if anyone had beaten it

shy gulch
#

yeah i prob should nyaanyaa

sly remnant
#

I'll beat it one day

shy gulch
#

its funny bc all my mirrorless runs got like 2 extra dashes and or hyper sprint

#

so i havent actually done single dash hades

sly remnant
#

Not to be a butthole but I am a better beo player than retrash. He's just a much better e erything else player than me

true fable
#

i want to keep pushing beo

#

flood flare is invigorating

shy gulch
#

do you do ap2 at those heats?

#

im kinda curious how you play beo w/ ap2

#

or if you can

sly remnant
#

You dont

true fable
#

i think i'd just start AP2 and reset for flood flare tbh

shy gulch
#

ah ok

true fable
#

idk

shy gulch
#

lmao

mossy zinc
#

Maybe he's a better everything-else-including-Beowulf player. squirtnya

edgy arrow
#

wait what

#

i don’t pay attention a couple weeks and now there’s a flood flare meta

sly remnant
edgy arrow
#

when did this happen

true fable
#

ohokwy theres been some breakthroughs

edgy arrow
#

how does it work

shy gulch
#

flood flare is sooo sexy

edgy arrow
#

i have so many questions

shy gulch
#

it just hits everything

#

the aoe is absurd

true fable
#

flood flare + ez mirage + gigantic dummy thicc aoe

shy gulch
#

bright

#

stream some runs with it now

true fable
#

LOL

shy gulch
#

so we can show them

edgy arrow
#

ohh ez mirage ofc

#

i can see that

sly remnant
#

I knew I shouldn't have hyped up flood flare before I did it

edgy arrow
#

i gotta try this out

main delta
#

damn i never thought about that

true fable
#

also i think sea storm is huge

#

since it applies to your strikes too

main delta
#

probably nuts with wave pounding?

true fable
#

wave pounding makes up for the loss of boss damage yeah

shy gulch
#

theres a lot of poseidon boons that just stack with each other really well

edgy arrow
#

does mirage shot boost sea storm damage?

true fable
#

but you dont need wave pounding imo

sly remnant
#

Wabe pounding and breaking wave are what you really want

true fable
#

nah but i think you get two strikes? i need to ask ello

main delta
#

wow i totally gotta try this out

edgy arrow
#

yeah multiple strikes is what i meant

sly remnant
#

Wave pounding is nice to take the pressure off boss fights

shy gulch
#

yeah its really fun oho

edgy arrow
#

that’d be neat

shy gulch
#

i havent done it at high heat yet but it was just really fun to use

true fable
#

i had a sub 4 tartarus on 50 heat with it

#

maxed rooms too

#

like JS3 DC2 CP2 i think

#

still died in aspho 🤣

main delta
#

stygian or infernal?

true fable
#

infernal

edgy arrow
#

yeah it’s neat that it works with infernal as well

#

less chaos reliant

sly remnant
#

You guys are gonna make me go beat you to beo arent you

#

Eff it

#

Someone got the link to max hellmode save file

edgy arrow
#

bright might, but i’m not a real high heat player lol

#

i threaten no one

sly remnant
#

Bright is probably top 3 beo player

true fable
#

:^)

sly remnant
#

He absolutely could

true fable
#

youre trying to keep me from trying i see what youre doing

#

sneaky

shy gulch
#

do it now bright

#

go for it

#

i'll be your cheerleader

edgy arrow
#

same

sly remnant
#

Aight I'm getting out of bed

shy gulch
#

LOL

sly remnant
#

Race to 52 beo

shy gulch
#

the race begins

edgy arrow
#

i’ll cheerlead both y’all tbh

mossy zinc
#

Top 3 are bablo at 53, me at 52, and Retrash at 51. squirtnya

shy gulch
#

for beo?

edgy arrow
#

wait Bablo did 53

#

how did i never hear about this

true fable
#

😦 apparently sea storm only procs on the attack lmao

edgy arrow
#

was it post 1.0 or no?

true fable
#

not even on the cast

#

ive been lied to

shy gulch
#

wait

#

what???

mossy zinc
#

Early Access.

shy gulch
#

not on the cast??

true fable
#

i think it's an F10

#

yeah

sly remnant
#

early access seeded

edgy arrow
#

ah

#

makes sense; i didn’t pay much attention back then

shy gulch
#

makes sense i didnt hear about it, i didnt know hades existed back then

sly remnant
#

and i believe it is the opinion of this channel that seeded and unseeded are separate categories 🙂

edgy arrow
#

dreams crushed

#

seeded and unseeded have been separate for a while

mossy zinc
#

I one-shot the seed. squirtnya

true fable
#

dang thats a real bummer

#

sea storm doodoo

mossy zinc
#

We've only been separating since 1.0.

true fable
#

might start taking breaking wave/wave pounding instead of sea storm

edgy arrow
#

yeah that’s a while

#

1.0 feels like an age ago lol

sly remnant
true fable
#

i think if you got 80/120 free damage per cast + jolted sea storm woulda been worth

#

but thats not the case

edgy arrow
#

is this actually a bug tho

#

cause that’s super whack

mossy zinc
#

It's only been four months.

edgy arrow
#

basically an age

main delta
#

it’s been that long? jeez

edgy arrow
#

anyway; if it isn’t a bug, it should be

#

i demand zappy flood

proud jay
#

Sea storm procs on call at least

main delta
#

i still find it weird that it procs on attack

sly remnant
#

how do i use this max hellmode save file

daring hedge
#

does anyone know the rough overall chance for patty to show up

#

because i'm becoming hollow

proud jay
#

Check speedrunning discord's speedtech

true fable
#

ello said its something to do with the amount of knockback

#

like the cast doesnt knock them back a lot?

#

idk

sly remnant
#

i'll just overwrite my super soaker practice file actually

#

it'll be fine

edgy arrow
#

what? the cast absolutely knocks them back a bunch

#

doesn’t it?

mossy zinc
true fable
#

idk im lost

#

LOL

#

i love that clip so much

#

big strimmer luck moment

#

see tail this is why you need to start strimming

#

for the increased luck

#

i didnt get my IGT beo PB until i started strimming

daring hedge
#

every time my run is looking kind of good, patty hides

#

i hate it here

mossy zinc
#

What's the chance of him showing up and not showing up next to the mid-shop? squirtooh

true fable
#

0% if off strim

daring hedge
#

this is just how it works now

mossy zinc
#

Everybody knows you get the best RNG if you stream your first run of the day with no previous death shown.

static plover
#

Patty just wanna be on cam

mossy zinc
#

Hollywood Patroclus.

true fable
#

strimmer luck is real

#

alright im gonna try some flood flare beo then

shy gulch
#

lets get it

daring hedge
#

what heat?

true fable
#

50

#

why not

#

whats the worst that could happen

#

i die?

daring hedge
#

oh nice

true fable
#

🤣

mossy zinc
#

50?

#

Tailesque is already like 10 Heat of you.

#

Do 60.

daring hedge
#

counterpoint: bright don't do 60 it hurts so bad

mossy zinc
#

counterpoint: bright do 60 it hurts so bad

daring hedge
#

if only it could hurt so good 😔

true fable
#

i will update my strim title to take that into account

gentle bridge
#

aight. good luck

#

def beats watching max dood's hades run right now

shy gulch
#

TD3 is probably always taken for eris at high heat

#

i assume at least

#

it takes practice

#

td3 is super rough

sly remnant
#

so first attempt miissed on flood flare 4 times

#

so not a great start

shy gulch
#

probably cluster?

mossy zinc
#

Yup.

unreal pasture
#

Heat 50 4 sack shadedisgruntled

sly remnant
#

Ah well

#

Died in elysium

#

Game was not very friendly after bouldy

#

Thats good enough attempts for tonight

shy gulch
#

explosives decent w hestia idk about eris tho

fathom cloud
#

Delta Eris is good QoL IMO

honest kernel
#

It's meh

#

Unless you get Rocket Bomb

#

But by that point you'd want Aphrodite or Artemis for bigger damage numbers

vital grove
#

What's the best fist for 32?

#

Reversal Demeter or some ME build?

true fable
#

DR is quite good

#

ME is quite good

#

zeus fists also good

#

with arty special

#

you could start arty special and take zeus/athena as they show up

honest kernel
#

Demeter Fists is the general good aspect

#

Talos can also do fine work

#

With Flood Shot

vital grove
#

Ah, I was thinking about Talos with Crush and parting

true fable
#

blizz shot talos is a classic

#

hard to get backstabs with talos cast

#

since your usual setup is to special cancel> cast>attack

honest kernel
#

It's actually not that hard

true fable
#

really?

honest kernel
#

Special -> Cancel into a dash

true fable
#

i guess you just have to not immediately yeet the casts

honest kernel
#

And you can get behind enemies

true fable
#

yeah thats what i do it just only frontstabs lol

#

talos athena cast parting shot is also good

vital grove
#

I was thinking special to pull them, then dash behind

true fable
#

and gets athena in your pool early

#

could be asking a lot from athena if you want attack/dash/DDs though

vital grove
#

Idea was attack and hopefully dash Athena

true fable
#

thats a fine plan

honest kernel
true fable
#

go for it

honest kernel
#

Replace the attacks with a cast and you are good

true fable
#

huh

#

neat

#

yo

#

hades3234

#

the madman purposely took explosive shot

#

LMAO

honest kernel
#

noice

#

It's actually great damage

#

But the reduced range is ... dangerous for high heat

#

Also hilarious with Triple shot

north dove
#

Explosive just means you never go for power shots

honest kernel
#

^

true fable
#

how long would that take

#

like 3 seconds?

honest kernel
#

... if it was that short it'd be an instant-pick LOL

#

It's like twice that

#

Probably more like 4 or 5 seconds, not sure

#

Dash attacks are still decently fast

#

Either way, long enough to get you hit in the face with FO2

next marsh
#

@honest kernel did you just screen record your own screen recording?

honest kernel
#

Yup

#

The new meta

next marsh
#

technology at its finest

honest kernel
#

But I didn't want my desktop to show up

#

soooo

next marsh
#

ah i see

#

btw any progress with 58 heat?

honest kernel
#

Done by Tailesque

#

on Rama

#

He's on the 60 heat grind

next marsh
#

i mean you

#

with zeus

honest kernel
#

I'm on 59 myself, took a bit of a break

#

after like 10+ attempts that got to Styx just gone due to the timer

#

Or to phase 3

next marsh
#

ouch

#

how doable is it?

honest kernel
#

Very

next marsh
#

well then

#

gl

honest kernel
#

As long as nerves and the timer don't fail me

#

I should be able to do it

#

I can like get to Styx 30%+ of the time

#

Without using Accorn

next marsh
#

and after that its just a 2sack dream?

honest kernel
#

With enough damage/good enough room rng, even a 3-sack is doable

#

Had a run like that, but uh 4 sack happened LOL

next marsh
#

well, better luck next time

#

hope to see you on the top of the leaderboards soon!

honest kernel
#

That or I get ninja'ed by Retrash or Tailesque

next marsh
#

very possible

#

re is the nemesis runner right?

honest kernel
#

Yeah

#

He did 57 heat just recently

next marsh
#

yeah i was there for that

#

very cool

#

it was just as i was asking about best sword aspect for high heat

#

lol

honest kernel
#

Well ... it's high heat sword

#

Only Retrash dared to even touch it

next marsh
#

the madman

honest kernel
#

But Nemesis is still likely the best, even without his sudden tries

#

That or Poseidon

next marsh
#

idk how it even works, no defense or range to save you

#

really poseidon?

honest kernel
#

At that heat level, Damage is also a concern

next marsh
#

i thought that had the lowest heat record of any aspect in the game?

honest kernel
#

It's also because lol why play sword at that point

#

For a good while, Zag sword was the highest

#

And that's also because of Retrash

next marsh
#

i gotta watch a few of his vids, idk how thats possible

true fable
#

baj has nerves of steel

#

yeah watch retrash

honest kernel
#

Until I get to EM4

#

lmao

true fable
#

he just has the EM4 fight down better than anyone aside from maybe tail

honest kernel
#

Getting there slowly myself

true fable
#

yeah not to diss you

honest kernel
#

Just need to not get urn'ed/fast stabb'ed

next marsh
#

EM4 is a really well designed fight, always makes it feel like you life is on the line

true fable
#

his zag sword fight was insane

next marsh
#

even when you are not seconds away from a world record

honest kernel
#

I should watch that

#

Honestly

true fable
#

yeah you never feel too safe vs EM4

#

i definitely stole some of the rhythms for dodges from that vod

honest kernel
#

I might have also learned block patterns on my own

#

In fact, It's similar to how I do non-EM4 Hades

#

Can do what I did in my 57 heat clear without Sudden Rush

true fable
#

yeah i cant do EM4 without my big serving platta

#

to hide behind

honest kernel
#

With that being said

#

I also did a few EM4 fights with other weapons

#

Zag bow, notably

true fable
#

i need to use a non shield for EM4

honest kernel
#

Altho I didn't win them, I still did fine

true fable
#

thats fair

honest kernel
#

AKA got to phase 3

true fable
#

yeah i mean

next marsh
#

btw do you think 63-64 heat will ever be beaten?

true fable
#

i think you have to be somewhat decent at EM4 to push 50+

honest kernel
#

Someday

#

Probably not now

honest kernel
#

But it's one of the options

next marsh
#

well not now obv, i just wonder if its really humanly possible

true fable
#

thats fair i just think at some point you run out of heat

honest kernel
#

50 heat is the point where AP/RI/EM4 are something you need to take

#

Actually did a big analysis on that, in the Speedrunning Discord, when Jerds asked why Hellmode wasn't a straight advantage

#

TL;DR is that CP1 and JS1 being locked in means that at high heat, it can be a detriment or optimal to go for Hellmode

#

Depending on what you want to take

#

for 50+

next marsh
#

so in other words, its just like every other modifier?

honest kernel
#

If it was just that, Hellmode would be straight up better, because it's 1 heat you can take away from something else, for 50 heat speedruns

#

But CP1 and JS1 being locked in could be a bad thing for some weapons

#

Or also good, if you want to say run AP2, or EM4, or RI

#

Or avoid them, and instead take the CP1/JS1

#

It's moreso a choice you make with the whole pact in mind, instead of "Oh PL is just 1 free heat"

#

Beowulf is a weapon that comes to mind that can get away with EM4, for instance.

#

And that's 4 heat off of something else

#

So the optimal pact for that might not want Hellmode

next marsh
#

do you think CP should be nerfed a bit? it just seems like everyone avoids it at all levels, which implies that its not exactly balanced

true fable
#

well

honest kernel
#

Heat increase, or 10+%

#

Pretty much anyone here turns it off if they can

true fable
#

everyone avoids that, EM4, TD3, AP, and RI

next marsh
#

y'know that could be really taken out of context now that I look at my last message

true fable
#

its about which things the last thing to break

next marsh
#

thats true

honest kernel
#

TD3 means you can die to Room RNG with other modifiers on, EM4 is insanely hard and doesn't pair well with anything that slows the time down. AP and RI limit how well you can scale

next marsh
#

it just seems to fit in so nicely with the other % increases, but its really so much worse

honest kernel
#

At some point, you need to take modifiers that slow the run down

#

And that point ? 50 heat

#

Could even argue for 45

next marsh
#

yeah thats true

honest kernel
#

CP is just the less heat efficient one

#

Because it makes the Heroes and Hades take way longer than they should

#

Same for Styx rooms, and Elysium to an extent

true fable
#

i realized

#

i need to upload vods for other weapons

#

i have 4 beowulf vods

#

and nothing else

honest kernel
#

I just need to record my runs in general

#

I've done spicy speedrun stuff lately lmao

true fable
#

do it

next marsh
#

i wonder if its ever viable to take off TD3 and add in all the other ones that slow down your run

true fable
#

i wanna watch zeus now

true fable
next marsh
#

really

honest kernel
#

Worked well for him

true fable
#

TD2 means you never have to think about timing out

#

almost never

#

and you can take boons over midshop

#

you can take troves

#

dont mash

#

LOL

#

but seriously

honest kernel
#

Mashing in boss fights is the last thing you want. FO2 boss fights are something that'll need some practise

#

If you need to, turn off HL all the way down, and just play the fights to learn the patterns

vital grove
#

Fist 32 you always take DC2 right

honest kernel
#

With Zeus attack start, yeah

true fable
#

figure out whether

  1. you have enough damage to not care about taking damage
  2. whether you have enough health to not care about taking damage
vital grove
#

With Athena?

true fable
#

either way you should probably try to avoid taking damage

honest kernel
#

At 32 ? Sure

vital grove
#

Can I have an optimal heat for say demeter

#

Or talos

true fable
#

wym

#

oh optimal pact?

vital grove
#

Yes

true fable
#

im annoying so i would just do the speedrun pact lmfao

#

um

#

EM3 probably is fine

#

JS1-2 + DC2 + TD3 feels doable

#

FO1 or 2

honest kernel
#

Do you run Stubborn Defiance

true fable
#

BP2 + MM are staples for me at this point

honest kernel
#

Or Death Defiances

vital grove
#

Oh without TD3

#

I prefer dds

true fable
#

LC1 should be fine

#

CF1 is maybe ok

#

and UC

honest kernel
#

If you are fine with FO2

next marsh
#

yeah i am comfortable with almost any pact (obv not all at once), but BP is one that I have been avoiding, because i dont understand it super well

#

it seems too easy to RNG into something unfamiliar that can kill me very quickly

vital grove
#

Oh, JS3

#

Hmm

honest kernel
#

With Tight Deadline 2

#

It's fine

true fable
#

yeah that looks ok

#

if you dont like JS3 just run HL3 CF1 JS2 maybe

honest kernel
#

Notice the FO1 instead

true fable
#

LOL

#

if you add my 32 and anyheat IGT PBs

#

they're still less than my 50 heat clear

#

heat is linear btw

rain sedge
#

did you do 50 heat recently bright?

#

or I misremembered your highest heat

honest kernel
#

Apparently he did

true fable
#

i did 50 beo today

honest kernel
#

on Beo

rain sedge
#

nice, good job man

true fable
#

ty

rain sedge
#

victory screen?

#

or just DM me either way

honest kernel
#

Oh yeah haven't said it yet

true fable
#

cutting vod rn

honest kernel
#

Big props bright

true fable
#

felt cute might delete later

#

i'll post it or smth

rain sedge
#

damn super doubling down on poseidon boons

#

how many boons did you get from broseidon man

true fable
#

a few

#

probably at least 4

rain sedge
#

ah and basically you high rolled for snow burst so you can take DC2

#

great stuff

true fable
#

i didnt even high roll snow burst

#

it just kind of happened

#

DC2 disappears with flood flare

#

trust

honest kernel
#

^

#

I can attest to that

rain sedge
#

how?

true fable
#

snow burst was better for maintaining killing freeze tbh

#

body slams

#

n wall slams

honest kernel
# rain sedge how?

Dask Attack -> Bullrush on the first enemy takes care of it's DCs, the Aoe Cast and slams nukes it and hits whatever other enemy in the general area

rain sedge
#

true true

unreal pasture
#

did tail complete a 59?

honest kernel
#

No

#

Going straight for 60 and trying to complete the clear with CP2

#

Instead of 59 and CP1

#

He basically maxed everything but RI, which is set to 2

#

in Hellmode

true fable
#

think hes gonna hold onto the victory screen for a while just to barrel roll one of yas after 59 heat

honest kernel
#

^

true fable
#

do you think he just has a bunch of victory screens ready

honest kernel
#

How's that going for him?

true fable
#

oh god thats horrifying

honest kernel
#

For what he's shown so far

#

He has a bunch of failed attempts on EM4 hades itself

#

So basically the same progress as me, on 59

true fable
#

lol baj

#

when my run gets verified

#

you'll be squished between two beo runs

honest kernel
#

For what specifically

#

The spreadsheet ?

#

Or what

#

lmao

rain sedge
#

bright

#

can I ask

#

where do you live in the US?

#

some of your slangs I never heard before

true fable
#

cali

#

specifically socal

#

grew up in upstate NY though

#

so my slang is probably just a weird hodgepodge

rain sedge
#

I swear all of my coworkers live in california and none of them use these slangs

#

maybe at work they try to be professional

true fable
#

im one of a kind i guess

#

wow pfp switches are jarring

rain sedge
#

avatar change 👀

#

wait let me guess this one

#

I think I have seen this

true fable
#

oh boy

rain sedge
#

ok it's one of the JRPG games

true fable
#

F

#

it's over

rain sedge
#

I think.... gonna go with dragon quest

true fable
#

DOA

#

LOL

rain sedge
#

pepehands

#

isn't DOA that game where... it's all girls?

#

lemme google

true fable
#

i meant dead on arrival

#

as in your guess was never landing home

rain sedge
#

oh

true fable
#

schad can you stream

#

i want to ruin my sleep further

rain sedge
#

I'm at "work"

#

also I might not stream until I get used to the setup

#

dying at 32 with my best weapon feels kinda embarassing

true fable
#

meh

#

youre trying to go fast

#

i died on fists at 6 heat today

#

🤣

rain sedge
#

🤔

#

it's also the whole dash and movement in the same hand thing

#

like

#

it makes the muscle confused

#

but if I put it on the right hand it'll be harder I think

true fable
#

yeah it will

#

seems hard to coordinate

#

wow

honest kernel
#

Watching the korean hades player play

true fable
#

yeah

honest kernel
#

He does 50 heat Eris

true fable
#

his aim is impeccable

honest kernel
#

He's going for Scintillating Feast

true fable
#

lmao

honest kernel
#

By picking Dio's keepsake in Asphodel

true fable
#

LOL

honest kernel
#

Got lightning Rod instead

#

Somehow

#

This game lmao

true fable
#

HE POMMED THE CAST

#

INSTEAD OF THE ROCKET SPECIAL??

honest kernel
#

With Rocket bomb

#

Ok this is just mega-wack

#

Granted, he has a bonus cast stone and Dio cast

#

but still

true fable
#

i thought he was going to ice wine it

honest kernel
#

He wants something to sell

#

And Snow burst still good

#

He said he wanted Scintillating Feast first

#

Should I ask for him to play Zeus shield ?

#

lmao

true fable
#

what is going on lol

#

yeah do it

#

does he know it's you

honest kernel
#

He said if he we want to see an aspect, he'll be up for it

#

I haven't typed in his chat yet

rain sedge
#

eris 👀 e

honest kernel
#

So for all he knows, I'm not here

rain sedge
#

I have 14 mins until my next meeting, imma join

#

ruh roh

honest kernel
#

Oh no

#

Skelly Tooth popped already

rain sedge
#

he doesnt even have jolted

honest kernel
#

He literally forced dio in Asphodel

#

lmao

rain sedge
#

he's gonna run out of time right? what chamber is this

rain sedge
#

maybe my brain is too small

#

but

#

what

honest kernel
#

He said he wanted the dio

rain sedge
#

HE REROLLED THE JOLTED

honest kernel
#

the duo

rain sedge
#

oh wtf he got the duo

honest kernel
#

He wanted it since Asphodel lmao

rain sedge
#

lucky boons tho

honest kernel
#

Honestly

rain sedge
#

this guy doesnt use aim help?

#

and attack on cursor?

#

wtf

honest kernel
#

The fact that he pomm'ed the cast instead of the special is big brain

#

Because Eris' damage boost is additive too

#

Might as well mega-boost the base damage of the cast

rain sedge
#

yea the dio cast pom is value

#

invite him to the discord

true fable
#

i would but im not sure if he would join

honest kernel
#

^

rain sedge
#

tell him tail hangs out here

#

he would join

honest kernel
#

lmao

rain sedge
#

unironically

#

??????"?

#

IS THAT

#

flurry cast over hyper sprint????

honest kernel
#

Blessed by room RNG

true fable
#

LOL

rain sedge
#

did I forgot the icon but

#

I couldve sworn

true fable
#

hes just doing a showcase lol

rain sedge
#

that was hyper sprint

#

bruh what

honest kernel
#

Hyper sprint at this point is whatever, with an extra dash

true fable
#

baj i hate to rub it in

honest kernel
#

Meanwhile Flurry Cast with Trippy Shot is 👀

true fable
#

but hes so good at his megs

honest kernel
#

I don't even miss that one anymore

#

Please

true fable
#

LOL

#

o boi

rain sedge
#

is there any priority on which enemy meg hits

honest kernel
#

The closest one, maybe ?

rain sedge
#

cus sometimes at dad she just hits the adds

honest kernel
#

Not sure on that

#

And actually a good question

true fable
#

i havent seen any strat as reliable as his for dodging the charge

#

that ones pretty good

#

the pillar juke

rain sedge
#

so bright

#

where's your avatar from

#

also invite him to discord we like him

true fable
#

baj?

honest kernel
#

I just block it and bullrush through it lol

true fable
#

you know right

#

i'll ask him

honest kernel
#

And use the special in a way that actually hits the bull while he's going towards me

rain sedge
#

b a j lol

honest kernel
#

I actually like that pronunciation a lot

#

Not joking

rain sedge
#

o k b a j

#

thats a weirdchamp meg

honest kernel
#

For simplicity's sake, I like the 1 syllable pronunciation better tho

true fable
#

him using the special to speed buff is actually genius

#

auto aim off 🧠

rain sedge
#

HE'S COMING

#

pogchamp

warm osprey
#

this guys boonless 51 with hestia was sick

honest kernel
#

If he actually comes, that'd be pretty nice

true fable
#

hey

#

are you the dude who did 52 hestia today?

warm osprey
#

yeah

true fable

true fable
#

how was it?

warm osprey
#

I did 51 and 52 today

rain sedge
#

crepes sweating right now

true fable
#

shackle i'm assuming?

warm osprey
#

yeah shackle

honest kernel
#

Sounds about the meta for Hestia, to be honest

warm osprey
#

nothin special with either run just Pat and 2 sac

honest kernel
#

For high heat, that's a highroll

#

And pretty much needed for most runs lol

warm osprey
#

yeah lol

#

I had a sick run with a 3 sac but no time

#

had triple bomb, the slow thing and 140% chill on special

#

whats the slow cap?

honest kernel
#

Without Killing Freeze, since it's 4 % per stack, you get to 40 % with chill alone

rain sedge
#

good question, idk if it's multiplicative or additive

true fable
#

how would you even measure that

#

frame data?

honest kernel
#

^

rain sedge
#

because then you can get 70% with the... uhhh

#

abyssal blood?

honest kernel
#

Not everything that slows affect animations either

rain sedge
#

the one that slows enemy with cast

warm osprey
#

I was trying out the cast mirror aspect that slows

honest kernel
#

Abyssal Blood, Numbing Sensation

true fable
#

abyssal only slows movement though

warm osprey
#

instead of the 50% damage

true fable
#

if we're to believe bablo

#

which i do

warm osprey
#

and its insane for hestia atleast for consistency

true fable
#

not attack speed/animation speed

honest kernel
#

I could see it

rain sedge
#

ok I go work

honest kernel
#

DR is big

rain sedge
#

cya all

warm osprey
#

bright u did the 57 with sword right

true fable
#

yeah i can see it too

#

nah thats retrash lmfao

honest kernel
#

Retrash did

#

Bright's a Beo player

true fable
#

i'll take credit though

warm osprey
#

that run was nuts

honest kernel
#

Great speedrunner for any heat, and also did 50 heat recently

true fable
#

i am sadly now only hardstuck 50 heat

warm osprey
#

50 was harder than 52 cuz I had 30% hp on for no reason

#

lol

true fable
#

want to do some more hestia when i think my pinky can handle it

shy gulch
#

wait roblox you tried abyssal w/ hestia?

#

how'd you use it

#

just on bosses?

honest kernel
#

^ sounds about right

#

And how I use casts in speedrun

#

Not worth using in rooms

shy gulch
#

agreed

honest kernel
#

Unless it's like a BP2 armor enemy or something

shy gulch
#

so it was worth the slowing on bosses? thats actually interesting now that i think abt it

#

since i get owned by a boss usually lol

honest kernel
#

For Hestia, that actually sounds ... optimal

true fable
#

im always impressed by how he uses every bit of a weapon

honest kernel
#

Since you get that weird mid-range where you are barely out of the "Trigger" for Hades' attacks

#

And Asterius', to an extent

true fable
#

like eris cast damage is very significant

#

but its not soemthing i recall seeing other people doing

shy gulch
#

yeah exactly baj

#

im def gonna try it tomorrow

unreal pasture
#

I'm pretty sure if you space EM4 hades too much... he'll literally just spear throw over and over

#

I dunno how confident you guys are on dodging that, but... I basically prefer him spinning

honest kernel
#

He throws a spear after 2 quick swings, if I recall

#

It's actually consistent to guess when he'll throw it, if you play the fight enough

unreal pasture
#

Well... if he was slowed as much as you guys were talking about... he probably won't even do the other attacks

true fable
#

baj

#

you re getting ur wish

honest kernel
#

lmao

#

He plays Achilles a bunch too ?

#

👀

true fable
#

and guan yu lol

honest kernel
#

Astaos about to become a fan real quick

true fable
#

i wonder if tailesque will get 50 heat all aspects or hades3234 will first

#

will tailesque finally get barrel rolled

#

pog

honest kernel
#

That would be quite the uno reverse card pull

true fable
#

ok my brain isnt working anymore

#

good night

honest kernel
#

Take care

unreal pasture
#

It's ... a bit annoying actually watching Hades play because kbm is actually optimal on most of the ranged weapons...
And I don't have the muscle memory built... only on pad

honest kernel
#

Depends on your definition of "optimal"

#

Because it sure as hell isn't as common as controller

unreal pasture
#

Yeah, I suspect it's much harder to learn/play

#

The setup is so janky... with q for specials

honest kernel
#

Used to play with that for a solid while

unreal pasture
#

I guess it could be ok if you have mouse buttons... but I'm just using a default mouse

honest kernel
#

Switched to right click on the mouse a while ago

#

Q on cast instead

unreal pasture
#

Yeah, having your reload on a mouse button would be nice as well most likely.. if you play Hestia

honest kernel
#

I could see it

#

I just use R

#

I don't have mouse buttons either

#

Or remapable ones

unreal pasture
#

And by "optimal" I mean... you can actually turn off auto aim and hit stuff at max distances with ranged weapons

warm osprey
#

The korean dude is mad good

next marsh
#

yeah i find it easier to rebind to mouse buttons too

unreal pasture
#

And cloner rooms are ... SUPER obnoxious

#

on pad + auto aim, you have to get in there and kill the cloner

honest kernel
#

Will i become good if i switch from default controls bigthink

#

Probably

#

Depends on if you feel the need for it or not

unreal pasture
#

Eh... it's a process... you have to build muscle memory...
