EM4 is harder than EM1-3 combined
p much
retrash is the only person ive actually seen do it super consistently at high heat across many different weapons and aspects
I'm streaming my EM4 run atm if anyone wants to watch?
oh wait nevermind
no voice chat channels in here eh
lol
phase 3 alone is worth the 4 heat imo
you can throw your twitch channel on #self-promotion @rich basin
oh I don't stream on Twitch lol
and damn I just had some bad luck
literally had 80%+ dodge chance and got hit by 7 mino spins in a row
bye bye death standing
alright back at styx lol
My last few boons betrayed me
:/
Can some of you post your mirrors and @ me? I'm looking for ideas
For what purpose?
ideas pertaining to what exactly
I'm just curious to what's being used. And trying to see what mostly used in which slots/combos
But i guess it changes depending on which punishment you're running
Since you run SD on the no heal one and so forth
I think weapon aspect affects mirror more than pact
And shadow power heal
the big ones that most people run at high heat include things like dark foresight, shadow presence, greater reflex except on gilgamesh
boiling blood for extra damage, which is especially desirable with tight deadline
I used to run authority alot
Most high heat mirrors I see are bottom 4 green and top x red
Healing talent is kinda not a thing at high heat anyway
Oh except stubborn defiance obv
Authority vs Persuasion on high heat is affected by RI4
a lot of us prefer god's pride to olympian legacy actually
If you don't have RI4 either is fine tbh
since AP makes gunning for duos/legendaries harder
Any heat speedruns also run God's Pride, for the most part
I guess pride vs legacy is actually kinda close in a number of contexts
Pride is Epic chance right?
Because Epic Hermes boons are great, on top of the general power boost of Epic boons
Yeah
Yeah
Epics vs Duos
yeah this is hugely important
hermes boons have a lesser chance of being rare+ overall iirc
so this helps with that
Yeah I haven't seen a high heat run aiming for duos and legendaries in forever
That's a good call on hermes boons
Unless you really want to gun for duos and legendaries, God's Pride will be better more often than not
Even on Merciful End speedruns you run God's Pride
Gross
This is cool. I kinda felt like fated kinda sucked, but it's just what we got. Didn't know other one was so much better.
Because Epic Ares Attack is that good
persuasion is amazing
Big doom
And you want to gun for Rush Delivery
I'll check it out next run
Authority I found to be the best if I wanted to force a god pool
Otherwise, Persuasion is just way more consistent
And that rerolls the boons?
Yes
That's pretty hot. Can it reroll the hammer?
you can also reroll pom upgrades and purging pool selection, well items
Ahh
Ohh nice on charon/purge
I tend to avoid charon more and save for buying stuff in Styx
Like the blood/diamond
Speedrunners reroll well items a lot
^
Buying/refilling the well/buying more
Braid is nuts
I don't know if it's still meta but there was a strat with taking hourglass for elysium
If you get a good well before entering Elysium
Otherwise, you tend to see Accorn/Sigil of the Dead/Third god keepsake
yeah taking it in elysium is still sick
because you can just purchase before you reequip in styx
and the dad keepsake really gets most of its value vs the big fella
and other bosses n such
That or Accorn
I do skull earing because I can lol, but it's rare
Otherwise it's kinda whatever
i almost got another 40 run again. everything feels a lot more doable once you've won a run
choked at phase two boss, dad laser clipped me
sick mate
How exactly does heat work?
Lets say I've one weapon that cleared everything except styx with 0 heat, should I play that run until i get it or should I begin heat alr
Clear the run before adding heat to a weapon, generally
if you clear a run with 2 heat before 1 heat, do you get 1 heat reward or 2
You only get rewards for the lowest uncompleted heat, and skipping heat levels just gives rewards as if you only increased by one
Yes
hadesprof is such a god gamer. getting 50 heat hestia and hera wins back to back (he just posted the hera run an hour ago)
huh, splash dash sure puts a lotta work in high heat
Hopefully something better than true shot which is what I had to work with lmao
how did u make that work LOL
TD2 and sheer force of will
he.. .didnt even hav any cast in tart
I mean that doesn't sound horrible, you don't need that extra damage very badly in tartarus
Splash dash and shackle seems good to me, actually
he got pos cast at chamber 30. shackle and splash dash did most of the work
My hera 50 was similar in the sense that cast wasn't a big factor at all for most of the run; most of my damage came from ares attack lol
Lol
Well shackle does sound pretty decent
You load up a loooot of damage on that attack
Base cast is 300 with shackle for all 3 stones
he was ri2
As was I
I also started with shackle, it's a good plan really
Especially with AP2 involved
AP2 is trollface.exe
he was stygian i mean. interesting
hadesprofessor just asked me about the mom pom start lmao
except for bosses stuff is dead anyway once you lodge 3 casts
I don't see the advantage in having 1 stone over 3 on hera
less downtime i guess?
Kinda considering going for 52 hera soon, which shouldn't be that bad as long as I can get a better cast than true shot
And probably run shackle and play a worse zag bow
im thinking since he just finished hestia, he kinda forgot?
but he did check his mirror beforehand
nah it seems intentional
It's not really a worse Zag bow because the shackle cast is better than a crit and is on demand whenever you have the ammo
then its probably cause collecting bloodstone would be troublesome
i'll ask him about it when he goes online in a few
Is it you? I thought it was Astaos
Stygian over infernal offers one fewer hermes boon and disables lightning Rod, as far as why you’d run it in certain scenarios
Hi everyone! I'm a bit confused as to what exactly high heat means? Could someone explain to me please? :o
Not sure if that's something that comes after finishing the game once?
this is my favorite thing
that heat is a spoiler in #h1-for-new-players but is also just in a channel title
LMAO
Yes, run away from here since it's spoiler heavy
be careful about #h1-builds-and-combat too
Thanks for the head up 
so hell mode grind strats. i think its conch shell every time with golden touch and bouldie (when i get him) spam in tartarus yea?
then coin purse in asphodel. finish the regions with just things that are helpful or you want grinded?
Hard reset for premium vintage
Wait, so if no-ones beaten heat 64 yet how do we know that when you beat it Hera and Hephaestus don’t just pop out of an urn like “yo where have you been?”
i know you are meme'ing but i legitimately take dio every time i see him for premium vintage
the conch shell is for oceans bounty
I'm half meming
if they hid them in the code they did a very good job
Since there's not special dialogue for first run clear, I can't imagine something for 64 unfortunately
Has the source code been leaked?
Ah yes, the Hawaiian dance/coding language, luau
no special dialogue for first run clear is kinda sad
I don’t know enough about supergiant games to know whether or not they would hide something like that (or more likely some small nod to them) behind an insane difficulty
they really don't intend anyone to go past 32
you can see how many people they thought would even get to the epilogue, since that's really just a couple pieces of (very nice) art instead of like a party scene with 3d models and interacting with all the gods
vs reaching the credits
like a voice line for max heat from hades would be neat, since that's low effort, but more than that for something realistically nobody will ever hit
though i'm sure someone will get it eventually, at least routed
its definitely possible routed
honestly baj shield has the best chance at doing unseeded
is there any healing at all?
or is it really you and 50 HP + skelly tooth vs the world
p sure its
can you even get athena DDs? probably not
if you lose tooth you could
do we know for sure it comes with RI4? it might not
see with routed you could do chaos egg light of ixion shenanigans
yeah i imagine that's the way
you basically just need to buy enough time to kill bosses while hiding and not getting hit
on TD3
yeah that's what I'm saying
uh I don't know where to ask this but what weapon do you think are best for speedrunning? rather then high heat
thats the speedrunning discord. in general tho eris is agreed to be the best
o ty
demeter generally regarded as the best, but def play whatever you like
isn't ||gilgamesh|| also pretty good?
the attacks are hella slow, and it has long animations in general
any tips on fighting extreme measures annoying guy and minotaur?
any heat you are struggling with
minotaur is the priority. stay near pillars to bait mino charge into them. ignore theseus
don't go to the middle of the room. thats a death trap
theseus rides a chariot with a turret and launches bombs in the sky that explode on impact. mino does normal swings but also does a ballerine pirouette and a charge that make him way harder. if he starts spinning you just need to run away
tyler gave you the PC answer, but generally in this channel we talk about 32+ heats
most people here have done 50ish
Oh, i'm kinda new... I wanted to know what "heat" in general is
I didnt beat the end boss yet
Oh ok
just spoiler reasons and such
have you done EM4?
^
nope
maybe the title of this channel should put that first, considering this channel is very spoiler heavy
"Spoiler-heavy channel for endgame discussion" or somethin
it does say "spoilers allowed" in the description
i had not read the description of this channel until you said that
heroes is fine once you get accustomed to it, its just that hits are some of the most punishing in the game when youre first starting their EM version
what keepsake(s) should i use for heat 32 with eris rail?
zeus to get your lightning strike in tartarus, and if you don't have athena by tartarus, owl pendant to get the divine dash and extra DD
either skelly tooth or acorn for elysium, then acorn for styx
or you can just be a chad and run skull earring since it's eris
ok thanks
yea true
also about my call which would i pick
cuz i usually go athena's aid
aid fine. honestly all of the calls in a normal eris run are fine
you kinda aren't picky about calls tbh
I only actively avoid ares but that's it. demeter isnt great, aphro isn't great for rooms but great for bosses, the rest is fine
ok also is BP2 gonna be a problem
How is that a possible choice you have to make?
divine dash is a good way to learn
Ohhh Divine Dash
i suspect we've overrated divine dash for awhile tho
what did you think i meant?
Death Defiance
divine dash is very good in eris
because you dash-attack often
poseidon dash no longer qualifies you for sea storm, so the value goes down a LOT
because then you need 2 poseidon boons (which you can't sell for UC), AND fish for sea storm
it's just a lot of luck, meanwhile you could've had a divine dash and 2 DD by then for the same number of boons
in the pinned messages, it mentions smt about jolted core but I can't seem to find what it is
wait but last run i had sea storm and poseidon dash
is it for like the demeter zues duo boon?
it's just a lot of luck
as I said.
"core" here refers to your core boons that is needed to make your build work, so basically just lightning strike and the jolted boon from zeus
maybe I should make it clearer
k guys u know the dionysis boon that makes fountains restore full hp, does it work with LC4?
no
k
it says so in the description too
I think it still buffs your damage but it won't heal you anymore
uh, what did people find out about patty's HP per room thing? that doesn't work right?
yeah strong drink still gives the %dmg boost
I have artemis special and aphro attack on chiron and I have one roll. I don't have heart rend yet. Do I take the unhealthy fication I just got offered or do I roll?
should not have rolled lol
Rolling Aphrodite's legendary 
I was dealing negative damage
monkaGIGA
okay time to finally put up the mirrorless 50 heat lol
I still can't get my 32 heat done lol
maybe I should not try jumping from 16ish to 32
did you check the pinned guide? might help
I did. I can't reliably do TD3 yet, so I turned up some other stuff. The best I've gotten so far was ~50% phase 2 hades, so I am not that far off
if you got there you'll get it
I've never even gotten to thesius today, lol
but I need something to work towards and the only other thing I've got so far is doing the steam achievment where you have to max all the keepsakes
I'm using chiron, I'm switching the special between demeter, artemis and dio
the build should not be too much of a problem if my rng works
so are you having problem dealing damage, or staying alive?
and what's your pact? chiron can be a bit finnicky with pacts
and yeah, for sure you can just wish for really good RNG and get relentless and concentrated volley and you'll clear it for sure
i've found chiron is actually pretty flexible with pacts
I don't recall everything I took right now, I've been switching it around a bit
any way to check in game?
boon screen should show heat
hl3, lc4, cf2, em3, bp1, mm, uc, fo1, dc2, td3 right now
hmm yeah, that's basically what I'll do too
turn off fo1 Dc2 for HL5 bp2 imo
I mean I might take BP2 but I don't think that's the problem
ok im not gonna fight the DC2 battle today but either should work
dc2 is fine as well
turning off FO1 is a good shout tbh
if you find EM3 hard, I'd take tyler's advice and swap FO1 with BP2
em is fine
hmmm ok
yeah i'd just go BP2 here and take heat off elsewhere
either that or low tolerance
if you can handle BP1, you can probably handle BP2
agree with king, BP2 isnt the hardest 3 heat
well there are some combo that's just really bad but... yeah
exactly
I don't think dio special is something beginners should try
most of the time it's not so bad, but you will sometimes get a nightmare combo
dio special is safe tho
I think you're better off with demeter (if you wanna survive, but it's slow so turn off TD3) or artemis (heart rend)
idk... it's not the best for beginners right?
I'll always remember that cloner seeker witches room 2 that ended my GY streak. Serrated point room 1.
but i like heart rend too
you can even run deadly flourish deadly reversal if your attack is divine strike and you net divine dash as well
artemis on special is just very good and very flexible
OR
you can just run heart rend AND deadly reversal
wait lemme find that screenshot of me proving the haters in this channel wrong
the biggest brain strategy is just getting all the duos 5head
dio is prohably my favourite thing on chiron so far
A screenshot won't stop haters from hating, you can believe me on that
ok I can't find the screenshot, I managed to get deadly reversal and heart rend, by re-selling the attack
Can confirm
and divine dash
same with videos
Am hater, still hating
^
your youtube crowd are uh, "special" though
Did you know that Perfect Shot are better than Twin Shot?
idk how someone like tail can get so many haters
a big plus to twitch versus youtube is i don't have to deal with nearly as much aimless spite lmao
Also never sell your boons, especially when running shackle
or you can be hadesprofessor and stream both in youtube and twitch lmao
i think if i post something with a claim as definitive as "WR" even if it actually is, it's inevitable i'm going to attract some unsavory comments or people who just don't like that
You know the strat you mentioned about Chiron
Hadesprofessor actually does that for his fun 32 runs
the man is NOT a source of build
What
man I'm still trying to forget his eris 50
makes me look like a real fool
much respect though
Yeah but
Does he stream on Facebook Gaming?
His gilga strat tho
He said that he was studying the game a lot in terms of build
what was hadesprof's gilga strat astaos
greater evasion is better than swift strike on chiron, right?
swift strike is straight up bad on bow
Curse of longing passion dash only special because attack too slow
so when I pick + attack speed on eris

what in the world
it doesnt work for dash attacks?
Did he actually make it?
That was amazing to watch dude
and for fists?
Because that looks jank as hell
i mean for eris since you're not only doing dash-strikes, i imagine it's fine
It was 50+ but AP2
but since with bow that's all you want to be doing... it's not good
Nah it works
maim is good, just risky
rending claws is legitimately a very good hammer for gilga if you can utilize maim enough
yay I got ares. Now I just need to get his vengance and the duo and I'll have low tolearance and curse of nausea
works every time
well, this is the first time I hear that dash strikes dont work with hermes speed boons
I'm guessing it's the same with dash-specials?
probably but i haven't tested that
fml I had 3 duos and died to timer
RNG giveth RNG taketh
too bad I can't do em4 with all the other stuff I have on. I did it before but not with fo and hl
i think he posted that one on the sheet
if youre wondering how it turned out
seems pretty dece
nice, will def check it out
spoilers: my mirrorless 50 had CoL
yeah its not something ive thought about very much
but on gilga it makes sense
since you want some sort of set it and forget it type damage
along with maim
I used it with chiron a few times. It kinda works, but you really want enough doom scaling that you might as well not take it and be completly fine
tailesque when are you putting some 32 and 40 heat times on the board
it's also worthless if you're applying the doom semi-regularly because it refreshes the full doom potency each time
oh yeah i still need to do those post-board-wipe
yeah taking athena attack and abusing merciful end is way better and still sucks on chiron
LOL
what are your guys' favorite aspects
getting a good time at 32/40 can take a while
beowulf
yeah 40 especially is taking me a bit
thanthink moment
mine is prolly hera
never before has tartarus felt so fast while being so slow
but hestia is the one im best at cuz I can cheese bosses
i'll kill furies and feel like it went pretty well then i look at timer and its like 3 mins
🤷
dunno if i can replicate the almost sub-9 40 heat again but i can try
and probably get kinda close
nope
so literally nothings changed lol
yeah lol, literally just formalities from the wipe
it would have gone over the same now
do I purge athena dash or aphro attack? I have curse of nausea so my damage should be fine but I'd lose my chance for low tolerance
what weapon?
chiron
third option?
special
can you roll?/do you want to roll?
no
32
yes
ah
it's at the beginning of elysium so there would be a decent chance for getting low tolerance too
oh well
yeah i dont generally recommend CF2 for that reason
its kind of a ton of boons you miss out on
CF2 stinky
Trial room Athena greatshields with Speeder and savior in a group of 4 😎
i always take athena first in high heat runs. she'll slow you down too much otherwise
Was using Zag bow
CF2 RI2 can leave you with no money for the end-of-biome shop in Tartarus, easily.
i'll sometimes see first 32s where they finish with like 6-7 boons
and be confused
then see CF2/UC
i mean i used to think CF2 was free heat
and its like ah cool
i was wrong
my first 32 was CF2 UC AP1
i was
not smart
i'm still not smart
but i've listened to people smarter than me
those gave me some trouble during winstreak runs
flamewheels with speeder with chiron suck lol
for flamewheels including BP variants, just hug walls and gaps
and dash across them constantly
dashing is usually the way to deal with flamewheels yeah
CF2 is easier than other heat for your first 32 don't @ me
I was out and died lol
AP2 is good for 32 imo
CF2 is good. AP2 is not.
some aspects this is true
Because then you play on 27 heat and the game is so easy that you don’t need the boons anyway
like CF2 hestia is perfectly fine at 32
Yeah just play on RI4 LC4 because then you play on 20 Heat and the game is free anyway. 
hestia doesn't really need many boons
I think I'll try switching cf2 for cf1 js1. js is going to be a pain with chiron but whatever
precisely
i just don't think CF2 is a one-size fits all pact and we used to kinda treat it as such
CF2 is more okay if you don't struggle in elysium/styx
yeah I only had one boon that I would not have minded to loose at the time
bablo did you get those headphones yet
shackle is great and CF2 makes it even more tantalizing at higher heat
yep. shackle aspects are great with CF2
I know about Zeus icd and such
But what about Serrated point lightning strike?
The dash strike is rather "slow", it's not chiron special
icd doesn't exist on lightning strike
only thunder flourish
Thanks
I managed to die to random tartarus mobs, I think I'm done for the day
yeah serrated lightning strike was my zag spear clear on 40
tart mobs are harder than the entirety of styx
no joke
i agree with that only if you manage to only face minibosses
high heat normal styx ends can be rough
hmm
i suppose so
i feel like its usually not too bad, other than the fact that it means i'll die to timer
BP snakestones from several angles in end rooms where there's very little cover, etc.
"cover" imagine not having portable cover
Shield can't block front and back tho
thats a good point though
it can if you tunr fast enough
You can't out speed lasers that are already on you
dont position in the middle of a group of enemies
try harder
good rule to follow from tart> end
I don't need to try something that isn't possible
i mostly have problems with the one styx end room that's a massive pit in the middle that snakestones like to hang out in
and some will stagger outside and it's just obnoxious to deal with on JS3 etc
yeah i get that
the pit styx room
also the traps are set up very conveniently
is an effin nightmare
to behead you if you walk on one
"just don't run heightened security" -amir
imagine taking off that one heat and putting it into CP instead
couldn't be me
don't attack me like this bright
I ran HS once for the prophecy, never again
coaching sessions where i remind you to stop stepping on traps
i can't even say that as a joke i have been stepping on so many traps lately
"just powershot" - tail coaching haelian
does saying EM4 is easier than HS count as a hot take or is that commonly accepted?
HS is way easier.
I never played either with any relevant heat combinations, but I feel like it is easier to get a random oneshot from HS
HS is random in the fact that you might die in a weird spot
EM4 is not random in the fact that you WILL die to superdad
Yo, any Hades aspect specialists here willing to give some advice for 32 heat?
you also can't really compare them since EM4 is 4 heat and HS is 1 heat
Check Pins
sure
is there anything you're having trouble with in particular
Mainly trying to mix in the special into my combos. I always end up going attack only and I feel like there’s something I’m missing.
nah, that's actually very normal
special isn't super worth it on hades aspect unless you get exploding launcher
hades aspect 
now i know who the one dislike was on the hades 52 upload
i think i dont understan the spear weapon tbh
lmao
were all tryna make it go fast right now
Any other tips that might not be obvious to novice spear users, Tail? For spear in general, not just Hades. I figured out dash-spinning (or whatever the technical term is) the other day and I think I can see myself becoming a dedicated spear user.
and its painful
yeah, like bright said, dash-spinning is a great step. it's invaluable
and with hades aspect in particular, spinning is a very viable source of constant aoe damage with continuous dash-spins to reposition and keep yourself safe
you have iframes during the dash spin btw
Spear user good
make sure youre getting the most out of your backstabs on hades
astaos are you joining us in the GY speed grind
Cool cool. Any decent builds that might not be super obv at first? I’ve mostly been playing it safe with Heart Rend/Deadly Reversal.
Maybe
Normal Attack having slightly more damage than Dash-Strikes is one thing i could think of for novice Spear
serrated point and flurry jab open a lot more options
of course only the former is available for hades aspect
heart rend is a bit weird because theres no great way to apply it
unless you take passion dash
you can run drunken strike or lightning strike with serrated and have it work surprisingly well
which means you dont have hunter
and there's a niche hammer tech where you can pair charged skewer with exploding launcher, but only if you get skewer first
but it's very powerful if you get that online
its such mediocre payoff for that niche of a setup haha
@true fable That’s why I was asking about the special at first. I’ve been going Aphro on special and Arty on attack. A little awkward but seems to work, at least for mid-20s heat.
i wouldn't call +150% boosted charged exploding specials mediocre
smh
feels like the way they wanted people to play spear was to apply something with attack and finish with special
but the spec is so awkward
I mean
in one
but yeah special is generally not worth the trouble unless you get exploding launcher, for zag and hades aspects
for achilles/gy the special is just different
achilles is comfortable running any useful status on special because you actually use it a lot
and you have iframes for the rush
do we know when you have i frames
hi tail
or is it just a feel thing
i was messing around with it in styx versus satyrs and it feels very, very generous actually
I find that pressing Attack instead of Special will retrieve the spear faster after employing it
you can spam special right as the projectile is about to hit you and you'll be fine even if it seems like it would be too late
pretty neat
hey!
avoid arthur lol
I hate Arthur, too slow
yeah sword is actually good for high heat honestly, in terms of damage
it's the safety that can be an issue
and hammers true lol
yeah nem can still so DC2/JS3/TD3 with utter trash boons
first time i tried doing 50 heat with arthur
which is pretty impressive
I'm a hipster tho
hestia is fantastic for high heat
Ahh
for some reference i have some 300 odd hours on beowulf and some 30 hours on hestia
I like lucifer aspect
both produce similar results at 50
lucifer can be good
zeus shield is quite good for high heat but takes a bit of brain power
lucifer just isnt the safest weapon
Oh
you have to have a lot of self control since you dont have i frames if you keep attacking while dashing
But eris has no laser so it's clearly worse
Ahh
TRUE
In general what should I spend my titan blood on and what are the easiest heat options
no laster = stinky
I like the special of lucifer
check the pins
the special is sick
deadly flourish + triple bomb is 👌
@true fable Oh boy, don’t even get me started on Hestia. I was listening to a podcast where Edelweiss was talking about using it with Merciful End. Sounded interesting so I tried it, only 15 heat to start because I’ve only used it once or twice before. Lost a DD to a damn bone raker of all things and died to EM3 champions. It’s so sloooow.
obv not on luci but
dont use merciful end on hestia lmao
that is about the least syngergistic duo + aspect combo i can think of
Maybe I misheard her, I dunno. It sounded fishy but I figured hey, she’s supposed to be the master of Hestia.
Oh my bad, I just realized I meant Deadly Reversal. Whoops.
I don’t know why I always get those two mixed up.
yeah DR is fine
i think heart rend is "optimal"
DR is kind of awkward to apply if you dont have rocket bomb
or the dash
Came in here to say hello, I run high heat Arthur so hit me on the DM if you want advice.
Whats ur highest heat arthur run
Jeez. I’m sitting here all smug about a 24. What sort of pact config are you running?
I run HL and LC maxed. CF2, EM3, BP2, MM, UC, FO2, AP1, and TD3
fo2 on 40 heat arthur
you mad man
i guess when you are speedrunning you don't have a choice
It's definitely the toughest part of the pact for me but if I got FO1 that heat has to go into something that slows me down.
Yusss, haven't clipped it yet lol. When I do I'll put it in here and submit it on the board. I had a 12:26 but just passed it like 10 minutes ago lol
Oh nice
I gotta run and do work stuff but I'll be back this evening and load it up.
I did a 36 heat Fo2 Arthur lately but it's not 40 and it's hardly a speed run lmao
Can anyone help me choose pacts for a heat 32 run
advice is pinned if it's your first 32
I pretty much just dislike the timer
I tried 2 runs so far and didn’t get too far
Definitely dislike the timer a lot
do you mean the 5 minutes one or overall?
what's your current highest heat?
if you want to do something just to get the statue, you can do a high luck low skill requirement build
achilles hunting blades or eris splitting bolt
Td2 is really helpful to have tho
or any weapon + merciful end
28 minutes you gotta do it
every day I go to this channel just to find different people dissing eris
Hera with Trippy Shot works great too.
Lmao
I thought you were my friend rigged, now you call eris low skill 😦
i said low skill requirement
eris 32 is just hold down attack and occasionally press special once you get splitting bolt
eris on 45+ is definitely not low skill
Eris has a high performance floor
Less effort/experience is required to get a good result
compared to what
Beo, Rama
oh that’s what you mean
Low floor = low performance
High floor = high performance
Floor is the worst you can do with it, so a high floor is good
I am using the chaos shield since I feel way too squishy with my bow
Chaos is a good choice. Great base for a hangover build, and can do really well with crits.
chaos is one of the slower weapons, might be why you struggle with TD
chiron is pretty free at 32
@true fable how much slower is trial rooms at 40/32 heat? I'm speedrunning but I also dont wanna die
it's pretty slow
you also should never take a trial if than/fountain is still in the pool
only do trials if its a late ely trial and youve already exhausted all your potential free rooms
I see, thanks
I had a 5 min ashpodel at 40 but the elysium mob spawns kinda killed my run
I didnt record anyway so no biggie
also for those who care about that sort of stuff the IGT autosplitter is fixed
I've had 4:30 Asphodel before and died in Elysium. 
so you can keep track of your splits
have you tried getting gud
god that felt good to type
Nyaa, you might want to try using the spin attack
It actually heals you
Not sure if you've tried that
Demeter Aspect has a spin attack?
Yes you have to do down, back, down-back, fierce kick
You have to spin yourself but yes it does
Getting Tatsumaki Senpukyaku vibes from this.
Big spins
I don't have any Ken or Ryu emote to picture this 
Good. I hate shoto.
what is this even
Yeah I think I know now 
also, I have been offered vengeful mood with holy shield. That means... every 3s... I get a holy shield right?
and how long does that thing last? this is poteentially very good right
big damage
for some reason ive gotten vengeful mood like 50% of the time i use chaos shield
Ok that’s it I give up
nah thats pretty dece
I JUST WANT THIS STUPID STATUE
The jump from 25 to 32 is larger than it seems
You're gonna have to prep a lot and try a bunch of diff options
hmm, would've been fourth on a very empty leaderboard
yeah
I suppose I'll set up stream to record
its hard to tell what times are decent until bablo/tail return to the category
that run did have LITERALLY 1 zeus boon all run though
don't tempt tail
let him barrel roll baj on the 62, not us
Aspect of Baj is so fun
maybe i give up on this hell mode thing
Just got a PB on 24 heat with 3 sack lol
speedrun 32 with us tyler
I'm doing 40 right now
your weapon is fast too
let's goooo
nah if i do it
aphrodite’s VA wanted the statue and got it on her first try on stream
i'm gonna go for all aspects sub 10 at 32
Courtney is a boss tho
that’s why you always start eternal rose
to get courtney’s blessing
+10% ambiguity bonus
Hey guys! I'm relatively new to higher heats and I was wondering: is it worth it to start a hell mode save just for the heat from personal liability?
I'm trying to go the highest I can
wow
didnt nya do all aspect sub 12
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/654076105321480226/795789852343926824/20210104170411_1.jpg kinda sloppy and no patty etc. but i'll take it
it was not 32
IM LITERALLY MID RUN MAN
how's it feel to actually pick your boon?
I told you bright, I told you
oh lol i guess i should yeah
Pog
do you need the inv
i think so yea
oh yeah thanks
I have lost motivation to finish this 40 speedrun
p sure sub 10 should be meta for 32s
GJ tail, I was quite happy with this run 😦
sub 10 is meta, sub 9 is competitive i think
for 32?
you can still be happy with your run ok
i mean across aspects
no its literally impossible
i'm not going for the overall record
if someone else gets a better time than you you are not allowed to be happy
that is why i have felt empty since wriste beat my beowulf time
I was going for the record, 10 min is unbeatable I think
are you gonna do 32 speedrun foxman?
on 40 heat? i'm p sure 10 min is beatable with eris
the current WR is 11 min
tail didn’t get patty so that would have been sub 10 already if he did
but that was before the board reset
i know lol
i am also 100% joking
honestly havent had this much fun playing this game in a little bit
Taking back my peepogivelove
just doing whatever im feelin atm
- I'm so stupid, I took the athena boon that give +% HP on DD
so I can't use skull earring
- can someone help me with the maths on euridyce's option?
bright, you said rarity only affects the base % right
so wouldn't it mean it's almost always more worth to put pom?
since first pom is usually as big as the rarity increase?
or am I wrong
You’ve gotta keep in mind that there are boons that can’t be pommed. Stuff like Life Affirmation or literally any of Hermes' boons.
Rarity upgrade is better than a first pom on almost everything. Plus, you can get more poms, but you can't really get more rarity upgrades.
hadnt thought of it like that
and thanks nya
Right.
ok damn I'm super stuck on selling great boons then
pom porridge is still most of the time the correct choice
its 4 poms
thats kind of a lot
rarity can be good if theres a good chance it hits hermes boons
or something like flat damage that scales well with rarity boost
rarity for pretty colors
Is it a good idea to try always using certain Conditions, so you get used to them?
Like Middle Management and each level of Extreme Measures in turn?
Sure if your goal is getting used to them.
My goal is to work my way through all the Bounties
I would advise to try combos of conditions instead of the conditions themselves
EM4 alone is nothing, same for FO2 etc
I'm past the point where I can only take one Condition for most of my weapons
And I already got the Harsh Conditions prophecy fulfilled
You can go further even if your bounty is still low 
damn I have died
must be one of my worst 40 played
was 12 mins pace anyway
maybe 32 is easier?
nvm the WR is sub 9
that's faster than my anyheat lol
So you'd pick the easiest category?
Even on bad runs, I tend to make it to the Champions. But I still occasionally lose a DD to EM1, so I'm reluctant to use EM2 just yet
Nvm just remembered you're an Eris main 
That reminds me: does Dark Thirst affect Dark Regeneration?
@mossy zinc look at what you have brought up
I always take the weapon with Darker Thirst. I wasn't sure if it had in-run significance, though
I see nothing wrong here. Carry on.
you did good
👏
Thanks people

wondering why youre taking fricken thunder flourish
on eris rail
are you sure youre an eris player
are you sure
I dont wanna reset
and I got tidal dash next room so
I thought I'd just go with it
I might get to ashpodel
ok
also I'm not watching chat so y
gbye
told you I'd made it
going for a 32 heat chaos shield build, merciful end with doom on the attack and hope for athena dash?
Just saw the Tail 10:12. Guess I gotta improve my 40 heat PB by a whole minute now. 🙂
@green citrus there's a link to the submission form in the spreadsheet.
You don't need edit access. 
Oh boy my fault, thanks!
Sure. Anything that doesn't time you out works.
I haven't played too much since 1.0, chaos shield is still fine ya?
I can't tell if you're trolling, or I'm stupid and it actually works
Honestly lol
