yea I'd take bablo I think

#

he's always nice

true fable
#

ask bablo yeah

#

eris was kind of his thing iirc

lusty mirage
#

or learn korean and ask hadesprofessor

true fable
#

hes gonna tell you to just get scint feast and flurry cast

#

and your world will be flipped upside down

gaunt fiber
rain sedge
#

yea he's a great human being

#

I'll stream it and maybe I'll ask them to see the vod to tell me what I'm doing wrong idk

#

more and more I felt like my 50 clear was pure luck

lusty mirage
#

would be fun to get a few english chatters in his chat

honest kernel
#

How about a french one ? dusa

rain sedge
#

are you french baj?

dire steppe
#

how do you guys play hestia on KBM

stiff aurora
#

reload and shoot idk how it is any different that normal rail

dire steppe
#

what do you bind reload to

stiff aurora
#

the default should be R iirc

#

I have it there anyway

honest kernel
#

Yeah

rain sedge
#

super pog

dire steppe
#

you press R every time you shoot on hestia?

rain sedge
#

my sister lives in vancouver, and a friend of mine is from the canadian french part (I forgot the city)

#

it's super nice to live there apparently, people are great

honest kernel
#

Quebec, I assume

stiff aurora
honest kernel
#

I'd like to say it's sweet for the most part, but I'm not really outgoing, and am not in the main cities

rain sedge
gaunt fiber
#

but it's not a decent time for Americans

honest kernel
#

^

dire steppe
#

When does he stream

honest kernel
#

He streams at like 4-6 AM EST

dire steppe
#

I would watch

honest kernel
#

Or something like that

dire steppe
#

Oh yeah i’m usually not awake then anymore

honest kernel
#

Might be even sooner

gaunt fiber
#

I would say 6 EST usually?

rain sedge
#

and he tried to translate your name

#

good time

gaunt fiber
#

Yeah

#

was a fun moment

rain sedge
#

alright i'm back at my half joycon-half mouse setup

#

it's too hard to do 53 heat without it

gaunt fiber
#

the curse

dire steppe
#

wtf like left joycon right mouse?

honest kernel
#

OMFG

dire steppe
#

i should unironically try that

honest kernel
#

The pain is over

dire steppe
#

i don’t have a switch doe

honest kernel
#

Heat 32 cleared 😭

dire steppe
honest kernel
#

Hmmmmm

rain sedge
honest kernel
#

You got a point

rain sedge
#

but this setup is only really good for eris

dire steppe
#

i think they’re like 15 bucks

rain sedge
#

maybe lucifer but no one runs that weapon

honest kernel
#

Wuuuut

tidal flame
#

not mine but this abomination haunts me

rain sedge
#

yea it's basically what fox does, but because joycon is smaller, it feels better

tidal flame
#

not me lul

rain sedge
#

it's not so bad

tidal flame
#

I would never

#

xD

rain sedge
#

it works for eris

lusty mirage
#

i tried something like that but not having the other side of the controller stabilized hurt my hand

dire steppe
#

Keybind saved layouts is something hades needs tbh

lusty mirage
#

might work with a small controller like joycon tho

stiff aurora
sly remnant
#

just run HL5 and LC0. then go in with 3 DDs

honest kernel
#

When I look at my pacts it doesn’t show I cleared Heat 32 with my bow?!

#

The rewards are just ?

#

OH WAIT

#

Rewards only go up to 20 right?

stiff aurora
#

yeah if you skipped a heat it shows that one

stiff aurora
honest kernel
#

Also anyone else playing Hades with the 32 bit launch option? The visuals seem more pixelated.

#

Also it seems there is no achievement for unlocking the third skelly statue?

honest kernel
#

Disappointing ._.

shell rose
#

is there a guid somewhere for all the abrevationsd?

clever otter
#

yes, in the pins

shell rose
#

k thanks

stiff aurora
#

wait you don't get +5 hp for buying darkness in the store?

gaunt fiber
#

nope

tidal flame
#

not for picking up Sisyphus darkness either

dire steppe
#

there should be a 50 heat achievement

tidal flame
#

AMIRRRR please fix

dire steppe
#

only 1% of players would have that

tidal flame
#

1% is being generous lol

honest kernel
#

@dire steppe pls no ._.

stiff aurora
tidal flame
#

probably .01% if that

dire steppe
#

true

tidal flame
dire steppe
#

i think only like 20 people have done 50 heat

stiff aurora
#

I don't see the problem

solemn pulsar
#

they didn't put a 32 heat achievement in specifically because they didn't want people to have to get it to "100%" the game

#

but it has an ingame reward, so they clearly have an opinion on it

tidal flame
#

a) I though you meant the 1% figure was the problem. So I misunderstood.
b) Now that I get what you mean, gating an achievement behind a hard wall is a no no to SGG. They explicitly stated this in a QA. And I tend to agree.

#

If you disagree with this, that's your right.

solemn pulsar
#

for someone casually playing through the game 16 heat is perfect (i think) for a final challenge for an achievement

#

32 takes some skill and time investment

dire steppe
#

the last achievement in bastion is kinda hard tbh

solemn pulsar
#

maybe they learned from their mistake

dire steppe
#

but that’s just without doing the NG+ or whatever

#

if i did it’s probably easier to beat the trial with all 10 gods

gaunt fiber
#

I like the Nier automata way

solemn pulsar
#

for further reference, 5% of players have the 16 heat achievement

dire steppe
#

if garmoth was a heat option in hades lol

#

enemies have 30% chance to deflect your attacks

gaunt fiber
#

Hard achievement, but you can buy them IG

dire steppe
#

i would just give up

solemn pulsar
#

32 heat would be <1%, 50 would be <<<

dire steppe
#

but how many ppl have even beat hades

#

the first time

gaunt fiber
#

I did

weak finch
#

me too, so that makes 100%

gaunt fiber
sly remnant
#

i've never beat hades

#

66%

tidal flame
#

same I just pretend that I did

gaunt fiber
#

Argh

#

we droppin

weak finch
#

Or do you mean on a fresh save? Than definetly not me concern

#

Seems like a fun challenge

sly remnant
#

hades too hard

#

in all my videos i just get to heroes and then use someone else's video

#

no one watches so it doesn't matter

mossy zinc
#

You have videos?

sly remnant
#

i have 2

mossy zinc
#

I was joking. No one cares. squirtnya

gaunt fiber
#

Wow

#

That was rather violent

weak finch
tidal flame
#

Cyber bullying isn't a joke Nyaa

gaunt fiber
#

^

#

The stingy Fox is right

tidal flame
#

I already sent you so much thoughts and prayers

#

Ungrateful smh

gaunt fiber
#

but all he's doing is sending thoughts and prayers tho

#

lmao

weak finch
#

lol

tidal flame
#

Best I can do. Take it or leave it xD

gaunt fiber
#

pff

mossy zinc
#

The thoughts are lies. He doesn't think.

gaunt fiber
#

The anti bully foundation needs money Fox

mossy zinc
#

I don't know about the prayers.

gaunt fiber
#

So I got only prayers

#

That's even worse

mossy zinc
#

@tidal flame fake tears.

tidal flame
#

I'm being bullied.

gaunt fiber
#

well deserved imo

mossy zinc
#

Whatcha gonna do about it?

tidal flame
#

Ima clear 62 heat not

mossy zinc
#

Good luck.

#

Be the Fox you want to see on the leaderboard.

tidal flame
#

In that sense I'm already there

#

Back to sleep. Tail, clear 62 heat.

gaunt fiber
#

Be a better fox, donate.

tidal flame
#

I'll donate to GDQ tonight for the first time :D

#

So there you go :D :D :D

mossy zinc
tidal flame
#

There is a fox in the leaderboard.

#

All that I want :D

solemn pulsar
#

43.6% have beaten hades at least once on steam

tidal flame
#

what's the 16 heat clear rate?

solemn pulsar
#

Only 32% pet Cerberus 10 times

#

5% for 16 heat

shy plinth
solemn pulsar
#

10.5% for 8 heat

tidal flame
#

Thank you

#

xD

sly remnant
#

to be clear a lot of speedrunners have never even done 16

#

lmfao hat

solemn pulsar
#

An Eris RTA run gets you to 15

shy plinth
#

Making dreams come true in 2021

tidal flame
#

Make a Wish foundation xD

sly remnant
stiff aurora
#

16 heat is 5%

sly remnant
#

compared to anyheat

tidal flame
#

Probably fair to say 32 heat is approx .5% likely

sly remnant
#

^i would agree with that

mossy zinc
gaunt fiber
#

pff

tidal flame
#

lol

gaunt fiber
#

I'm away above that, you ignorant fool

mossy zinc
#

Too high?

stiff aurora
#

earning all the companions is the rarest achievment for some reason

gaunt fiber
#

I'm at 7%

stiff aurora
#

you just have to earn them though, not max them

sly remnant
#

yea but achilles and pat takes FOREVER

mossy zinc
#

It takes a lot of time, yeah.

sly remnant
#

lotta runs

#

lotta resources

shy plinth
#

Dusa is a ton of ambrosia and also that last scene takes forever

stiff aurora
shy plinth
#

Oh right

#

Derp

sly remnant
#

i promise its achilles and pat that holds most people up

shy plinth
#

Yeah

#

Just glad hypnos doesn't give one

#

That questline also takes forever

solemn pulsar
#

a lot of people playing casually that i know just stop giving nectar after they get the keepsake because they dont see a reason to do more

#

and then by the time they've finished most of the content the idea of maxing out everyone for companions doesn't seem fun

stiff aurora
weak finch
#

just imagine you play without keepsake and play whatever galaxybrain

mossy zinc
#

Maxing out all the keepsakes was a lot of fun.

#

I guess it's not for everyone.

weak finch
#

Noticed i played way more carefull when playing with the butterfly

#

And go full Zelda mode with Dusa's keepsake

solemn pulsar
gaunt fiber
#

Keepsakes maxed themselves

#

just like that

shy plinth
#

Also wtf hadesprofessor

#

He has 18 weapons aspects at 50 heat or higher

gaunt fiber
#

all aspects is the way

shy plinth
#

Missing 3 swords, zag spear, demeter, gilgamesh

mossy zinc
#

There are only 6 weapons.

shy plinth
#

And there's only one Nyaanyaa

gaunt fiber
#

thank god

mossy zinc
#

goddess*

gaunt fiber
#

Nope

mossy zinc
#

Betrayal.

warm osprey
#

@north dove how close to all aspects 50 heat?

shy plinth
#

He's got 14 on the sheet though 2 of them are at 45

#

MIssing hades, achilles, chaos, baj, eris, hestia, demeter, and all non-zag bows

#

Zag fists and zag shield are at 45

mossy zinc
#

@gaunt fiber nice try, but Lady Aphrodite emoji work on me.

gaunt fiber
#

Still better

#

Congratz buddy

mossy zinc
rain sedge
#

nice fully loaded

gaunt fiber
#

So it worked.

daring hedge
#

that was my last attempt at trying to get deadly strike in styx

#

cannot believe this game sometimes

mossy zinc
#

You'd have a chance at getting it if you put something on your Special or Cast, you know . . .

daring hedge
#

shhh

#

listen after i rolled twice on a trial artemis after already getting hunter dash, i just gave up mostly

ripe crane
#

Why shackle

shy plinth
#

Once you go shackle you never go backle

ripe crane
#

Oh I see

mossy zinc
#

So we all feel bad about our worse times with better builds.

daring hedge
#

shackle is really good for rama imo if you can't get deadly strike

#

which like, i really did try

stiff aurora
#

omfg I went into the wrong room and missed pat rip run

mossy zinc
#

It looks more like you really tried to get no core boons.

daring hedge
#

underworld customs

#

and i used all my rolls on that trial artemis

warm osprey
#

do I have to kill meg for her to show up in the house?

shy plinth
#

It's random I think

sly remnant
#

i believe you have to beat furies

#

and then its still a dice roll (just one weighted in your favor)

warm osprey
#

ah ok

gaunt fiber
warm osprey
#

pretty much lol

daring hedge
honest kernel
#

What in the name of heck

rain sedge
#

0 8 . 3 6

honest kernel
#

That's a solid anyheat time

tidal flame
#

what on earth

ruby thicket
#

holy hell

rain sedge
#

those boons tho

tidal flame
#

Tail what the hell

#

I mean yeah, but still

rain sedge
#

3 acorn charges btw

#

destroyed the current record by a full 2.5 mins btw

#

oh guess what, faster than the 32 heat record too

#

just post it on both to flex it tail

honest kernel
#

To put into context how good that time is

#

It's a top 65 time on anyheat

sly remnant
#

JESUS CHRIST

#

WHAT

tidal flame
#

Probably shaved off 10s more

rain sedge
#

nah it wont activate, 2 touch of styx

tidal flame
#

oh you are right

gaunt fiber
#

POG

#

Congratz @daring hedge

sly remnant
#

the god himself

tidal flame
#

dude logged off and enjoy his vacation lol

gaunt fiber
#

107% lmao

#

"I'm not a speedrunner"

tidal flame
#

Tail "107% speedrunner" esque

rain sedge
#

lv 6 epic dash strike too

daring hedge
sly remnant
#

hell yea tail

daring hedge
#

any heat though, not really

sly remnant
#

get that board going

rain sedge
#

ah I remember the time I thought i could beat foxman in a 32 heat race with eris

daring hedge
#

i'd need to get way better at any heat to stand a chance there

sly remnant
#

nah we need more 32/40 runners

rain sedge
#

how stupid of me

rain sedge
#

and as toxic as that sounds I actually agree, speedrunning at low heat is just basically a slot machine

sly remnant
#

there are things to learn in any heat

#

never underestimate that

honest kernel
#

^

daring hedge
#

yeah, like i know the basics of speedrunning in this game mostly from just having to deal with TD3, and working from there

#

i would need to actually get a lot better at the general nuances for any heat

honest kernel
#

High Heat puts a heavy focus on survival

#

Any Heat puts a heavy focus on how fast and efficient you can be

#

You reach a point, eventually, where you need to learn to do both

gaunt fiber
#

Can't do any of the two

rain sedge
#

are you gonna upload the video soon tail?

shy plinth
#

What in the hell

shy gulch
#

bro how we gonna get 40 heat runners now tail has demolished the category

shy plinth
#

That beats the previous 1.0 run by 26 seconds

#

Which was held by... Tailesque

shy gulch
#

also yeah confirming that any heat takes practice and is not easy

#

high heat does not train u for any heat

#

in fact i almost want to venture and say it works more the other way around

honest kernel
#

Does it ?

#

I'm definitely more worried about foes when I don't instant-phase them

gaunt fiber
#

high high high heat is any heat training right

#

be fast or be dead

daring hedge
honest kernel
#

Kinda

#

I want to see that madness of a run

daring hedge
#

like baj said earlier, survival and playing smart is huge at high heat

#

a lot of times in any heat you can throw your body at things without much regard for yourself

shy plinth
#

I'd guess the boss fights are the biggest difference

#

Especially the hades fight

honest kernel
#

In fact, the only part of the run at Any Heat you need to worry about is Hades

#

And even then

#

Unless you picked literally no centaur hearts and died a bunch in the run for some reason, it shouldn't be a problem

#

Phase 1 you meg, Phase 2 is easy to cheese

gaunt fiber
rain sedge
#

I mean yeah it takes practice, not easy, but if we're saying that the fastest any heat run is the most skilled rather than the luckiest, then that's just not true

daring hedge
#

and i guess i should clarify i'm not implying any heat players don't "play smart", i mostly mean cautiousness

rain sedge
#

the fastest anyheat is just the one with the most free room + some degree of competence from the runner

honest kernel
#

And with the base game being as gentle as it is ... It works out to be optimal

sly remnant
honest kernel
#

Especially when Revenge Boons are a thing

daring hedge
#

cautiousness in regards to high heat, i mean

shy plinth
#

I'd phrase it that any heat can assume survival while high heat cannot

daring hedge
#

any heat can absolutely get reckless

sly remnant
#

there's a reason bablo had the record on most aspects

shy plinth
#

That base assumption dramatically changes the shape of the run, focus on damage output vs focus on precision and defense

honest kernel
#

Must have misread the context here hol' up

#

Oh. Ok, fair enough

gaunt fiber
#

"Any heat is just a lof of runs"

#

Lili told me that today

honest kernel
#

Lili ain't wrong either

sly remnant
#

at the absolute world record sub 6 yes

daring hedge
#

to be fair lili is skilled and also does a lot of runs

honest kernel
#

^

gaunt fiber
#

He's amazing

honest kernel
#

Lili is infamous for resetting in Tartarus often

shy plinth
#

Yeah the super high level players are likely going to undersell the level of skill needed to reach the point where luck is the determining factor

honest kernel
#

Gets him top times tho, so that works out for him

shy plinth
#

They probably don't even see it any more tbh since they're so focused on room rng when their execution has been so dialed in for so long

honest kernel
#

^ Autopilot's a hell of a drug

daring hedge
#

for sure, a lot becomes muscle memory

gaunt fiber
honest kernel
#

LOL

sly remnant
#

also rta anyheat and igt anyheat

#

are very different

honest kernel
#

^

shy plinth
#

Oh yeah

daring hedge
#

absolutely

sly remnant
#

rta anyheat is much less of a gambling machine

daring hedge
#

snap decision making is a skill you really need to polish for rta

#

igt doesn't care

shy plinth
#

Wriste talks about that a lot

daring hedge
#

you can just pause

honest kernel
#

I really should consider doing RTA at some point

gaunt fiber
#

You'll start to hate Than, not sure if it's a good thing

shy plinth
#

Yeah it's another rng element

honest kernel
#

Well, I hate him already because he doesn't show up when I need him to

shy plinth
#

Wriste said thanatos was his least favorite enemy when I had him on the show lol

honest kernel
#

So there's that

daring hedge
#

i'd love to try more rta categories after getting a drive that lets me load asterius miniboss faster than five full seconds

gaunt fiber
#

Then go my child, you are free

next marsh
#

how does than compare to normal rooms in igt?

shy plinth
#

He stops the timer in igt

#

In RTA the timer never stops

daring hedge
#

than igt good, than rta bad

honest kernel
#

Also you turn off the timer in IGT for Tartarus survival rooms

#

Since these also stop the timer

next marsh
#

he still takes like 5 seconds of the timer going just to give you the heart, so i sometimes wonder if a standard room could be cleared faster

honest kernel
#

Not happening, with the 3-wave system used in most rooms

next marsh
#

probably not

daring hedge
#

yeah definitely not

honest kernel
#

Even with FO2, Than is a time save in IGT

next marsh
#

makes sense

gaunt fiber
#

You can also fish to stop the timer and wait for then to give the heart

daring hedge
#

and you can sometimes position the last kill next to the exit so than drops the heart and leaves before you exit the boon/pom menu

gaunt fiber
#

yeah that is more realistic

#

than fishing

#

but it happens

next marsh
#

oh yeah, fishing is a thing i realized you could do for than on my last run

gaunt fiber
#

always fish

next marsh
#

cool to see its a viable start

#

*strat

gaunt fiber
#

well

#

When I say something you can be sure it's not a viable strat

next marsh
#

@honest kernel what runs are you up to lately? grinding out 61 heat?

honest kernel
#

Today specifically, not much

#

Did a few 40 heat speedruns, only to get mediocre complete runs

next marsh
#

😦

honest kernel
#

62 heat is the new plan

#

But I'm not sure if I want to do that, or grind EM4

#

Also considering using DDs again

next marsh
#

just not taking the last RI?

sly remnant
#

i'm enjoying 32 heat speedruns right now baj

#

come join us

honest kernel
honest kernel
#

Legit

sly remnant
honest kernel
#

... My 8:05 IGT run was a Skull Earing strat with LC4

#

Where I took a death after the Lernie fight to equip the Earing in Elysium

sly remnant
#

god gamer baj

#

i'd just like the aspect list to get filled out at 32

lusty mirage
sly remnant
#

and i don't want to doit by myself 🙂

daring hedge
#

yeah, it's not just my run history slowing it down is the thing

lusty mirage
#

k

daring hedge
#

i'd like to get a new SSD pretty soon

rain sedge
#

did we have this discussion before, where I link you to a <$100 SSD?

#

I can't remember

daring hedge
#

we talked about it before but i don't remember that

honest kernel
#

Is there like an SSD equivalent

#

Because NVMe is, IMO, overkill

shy plinth
#

You mean sata?

honest kernel
#

Yeah

shy plinth
#

Sure, though $90 for a 500gb nvme is a pretty solid deal and it is faster

tidal flame
#

well that depends on Tail's computer.

rain sedge
#

yeah that's basically what I will link too

#

I think I have that one

tidal flame
#

if his mobo has no NVMe port, yeah

#

okie :D

#

let's help this man get an SSD

shy plinth
#

Samsung is still ideal for SSDs atm I think

#

It's a little cheaper too, or you can do same price point for 1tb

honest kernel
#

550 MPs

#

Yeah that's still plenty fast

shy plinth
#

It is

rain sedge
#

I actually can't remember what's my SSD

#

is there a way to check it from the computer

shy plinth
#

Device manager probs

rain sedge
#

huh, seagate barracuda

tidal flame
#

i have hwinfo so I can check there

rain sedge
#

weirdchamp

#

but yeah I'd say samsung evo 970

#

this PC is prebuild so I guess I did not have a choice

shy plinth
#

I upgraded from sata to the evo just because my original ssd was smaller and I do a bunch of large file read/write ops

#

But sata is totally fine, though NVME might be slightly better for working with video

daring hedge
#

ahh good to know, thanks for the info

shy plinth
#

Depends entirely on what your comp can handle

#

If there's no nvme slot then sata is the way to go 😉

rain sedge
#

oof, hades is still 1h away

#

my head already hurts

#

guess I'm not staying for the run

honest kernel
#

In the meantime, Cuphead run 👀

gaunt fiber
#

Stay strong @rain sedge

rain sedge
#

has the cuphead started

#

it's still 10 min or something right

gaunt fiber
#

My body wants me to sleep too

rain sedge
#

idk astaos, I havent slept earlier than 3am this week

#

it's getting much, but something tells me I wont be able to sleep anyway

gentle bridge
#

cuphead still hasnt started

#

almost there, tho

gaunt fiber
#

I need a reset

rain sedge
#

I guess you, me, and nya are all super night owls

shy plinth
#

Vorime on stream!

rain sedge
#

we're basically in the same timezone and we're up until super late

#

oh vorime is up

gentle bridge
#

vorime's being interviewed rn

rain sedge
#

hera?

#

I guess I'm not up to date with the speedrun meta, I thought it was gonna be demeter

gentle bridge
#

same

shy plinth
#

Def surprised on double cast weapon and no fists

rain sedge
#

leaderboard does seem to agree with my assumption that demeter is second fastest

#

I can't even see hera on the anyheat leaderboard

#

fastest hera is 87th hmm

shy plinth
#

3 weapon is different though

#

You want consistency, especially in the later weapons

rain sedge
#

I mean it's anyheat

#

but yeah I know nothing about speedrunning, just surprised it's hera

shy plinth
#

Vorime's 3 weapon submission on the board is eris/achilles/hera

#

I'm also surprised

rain sedge
#

and each run is independent, unless I'm missing something

shy plinth
#

There's a 3 weapon category and they are continuous

#

And RTA

rain sedge
#

yeah but there's no reason to pick hera over demeter if demeter is faster

#

idk. maybe he'll explain it on the run

shy plinth
#

Yeah curious

#

Also apparently Duunk got WR on 3 weapons today

gaunt fiber
#

again?

shy plinth
#

Yeah

#

Achilles, Eris, Beowulf

gaunt fiber
#

Wait maybe it depends on what your today is

rain sedge
#

loyalty card % is mentioned lol @true fable

#

extra incentive 👀

Yeah I suppose

it's amir tormenting him directly

gaunt fiber

amazing

ripe crane
#

What heat did he take other than EM2/FO2/TD?

sly remnant
#

probably TD2 to turn off survival rooms to fit in the timeslot

ripe crane
#

He has 12 heat tho

sly remnant
#

he might have fo1

#

so TD3

rain sedge
#

This is the worst RNG I've seen

#

End it with a 5 sac

sly remnant
#

this is the most cursed run

gaunt fiber

it's actually amazing

#

GDQ tier I guess

is that a live speedrun?

gaunt fiber

sure thing

shy plinth

This run is unbelievable lol

The deadly reversal tho

this cursed run is still incredible

sly remnant

he recovered really well

shy plinth

Vorime is the best

rain sedge

Uh what did I just hear

#

Hyper sprint increases cast pick up range?

sly remnant

just cuz of mobility

lets you move to casts faster

rain sedge
#

He skipped the exit wounds what

honest kernel
#

Funny, the heat I worked towards was 7, then I jumped to 16, then to 32 to get the statues. Now that I am back to the lower heat levels it’s HELLA EASY.

#

2 days of suffering through high heat has HARDENED me 😤

gaunt fiber
#

You need an EM4 fight

honest kernel
#

I will still do that

#

It’s not like I had a hard time before around lower heat, but now it’s SUPER easy

#

Do you get anything for clearing EM4?

gaunt fiber
#

Fame

honest kernel
#

Wait at what heat level?

gaunt fiber
#

Do a 32

honest kernel
#

NO

#

I will never pick that combination ever again haha

gaunt fiber
#

so that was 9 @rain sedge?

rain sedge
#

That was kinda.. weird

#

Technically it's an 8

#

But he took 1 extra

#

So idk?

gaunt fiber
#

Oh so I won

#

Yeah the run was weird

#

The beo was amazing

#

Then fishing and pet cerberus shenanigans

rain sedge
#

The beo must be one of the worst RNG I've seen

#

At least it's a 2 sac

true fable
#

oof that was a super uber cursed beo run lol

shy gulch
#

yeah that was the worst run I’ve ever seen lmao

#

in terms of luck

dire steppe
#

is it possible for a god to have no boons to offer you

has 63 heat ever been cleared?

mossy zinc
#

Record is 60 by Tailesque.

#

Leaderboard is pinned.

halcyon flame
#

huh, wonder who'll be the first to do 63

mossy zinc
#

Tailesque.

#

64 is max Heat, though.

#

Personal Liability in Hell mode gives another +1 Heat.

halcyon flame
#

yeah probably tailesque lol

ripe crane
#

I legitimately don't think higher than 62 will ever happen

sly remnant
#

I agree. Max heat will be routed

mossy zinc
#

Smh. Y'all have no faith.

topaz walrus
#

as they say in a great and old (and totally not toxic) community, we just have to git gud

ripe crane
#

I don't think 64 heat will happen even routed

mossy zinc
#

64 will definitely be done both routed and unseeded.

halcyon flame
#

mortals are resilient and persistent

#

someone's gonna have to do 64 heat

#

it's only a matter of time

topaz walrus
#

and in the underworld, we have no shortage of either

shy plinth
#

You said mortals so I guess we're excluding Tail

next marsh
#

if other game's speedrun communities have taught me anything, its that SOMEONE will be dedicated enough to play for however long it takes to get it

topaz walrus
#

And as speedrun communities have taught me it's probably gonna be unintentional and done as a meme.

next marsh
#

yeah true, the dudes gonna be thanking his subs halfway thru the EM4 fight

halcyon flame
#

i'd like to imagine somebody does a 64 heat run for a video and ends up being the world's first to actually do a 64 heat clear

sly remnant
#

If a max heat unseeded happens it is a long ways off.

gaunt fiber

Unintentional 64 yeah sure

weak gyro
#

What is the highest heat Erebus gate it is possible to encounter?

daring hedge
#

15 heat, elysium erebus gates

#

there aren't any that ask for heat higher than 15

weak gyro
#

Good to know. Think I'll run 15 minimum from now on, even if I don't have to for unlocks. I've been simply doing like 10-12 with Extreme Measures 4 and Benefits Package, but I think fighting EM4 Hades without those extra rooms is a bit of a disadvantage.

daring hedge
#

elysium erebus gates are very rarely taken, actually

#

you aren't missing out on much

shy gulch
#

yeah i never take them

#

they're just so painful

shy gulch
#

u doing all aspects 40 heat?

mossy zinc
#

If I don't get bored or frustrated with it before then or have an idea that seems more fun.

#

Exclusive Access in Tartarus is always fun.

spring kettle
#

Yeah, but then you have to get Poseidon and Dio in the same run

mossy zinc
#

Sounds good to me.

spring kettle
#

What are your favorite aspects for each weapon?

dire steppe
#

basic af: zag sword, rama, eris, achilles, zag fists, zeus

spring kettle

Mine are: Poseidon sword, Achilles spear, Rama, chaos, demeter, Eris

ripe crane

From left to right, zag, achilles, zag, rama, dem (zag real close tho), hesty

sly remnant

Exit wounds beo, yeet beo, beo, built in charged shot beo, tug beo, and super soaker

I can't tell what yeet beo is and I'm too afraid to ask

dire steppe

daring hedge
#

charged flight poseidon beo

#

great for marathons

tidal flame
#

The correct answer

#

100% of marathon runners for the game use it.

mossy zinc
#

Crush Shot, Guan Yu, dunno, Rama maybe?, all of the above, pew pew pew

tidal flame
#

Pew pew pew is like all of them

daring hedge
#

wait all of the above for fists?

#

i thought you didn't like gilga

mossy zinc
#

I didn't like it until they improved the input buffering.

#

It's not what I wish it was, but it's still fun.

#

Hmm. I noticed my DPS on a lot of aspects is better with Infernal Soul, but Stygian Soul is better for Lord Hermes boons.

#

Better to have Auto Reload in his pool than Quick Reload + Flurry Cast.

glass patrol
#

Does the contract option that gives you more enemy also gives you more coins? Since when enemies die they drop coins?

Yup.

i got a 2:44 with blade dash hestia

maybe couldve done it with boiling blood/antos

vital grove
#

Zag bow, Hestia, Hera, Baj Shield, Chiron, Rama, Lucifer/Eris, Arthur, Achilles, Demeter, Beo

#

More or less in order I guess, maybe Baj Shield is higher

#

And Guan Yu too, forgot that one

gentle bridge

grats on the 40 heat wr @daring hedge

#

thats nuts

daring hedge
#

thank you squirtyay

vital grove
#

What time is the 40wr now?

#

Sub 10?

daring hedge
#

sub 9 even

#

8:36

gentle bridge
#

were you really looking for hunter dash as first boon? or the attack just didnt show up?

daring hedge
#

i usually take attack if both that and dash show up, but i can run with dash without issue for all of tartarus and go shackle from asphodel onward if i don't get deadly strike

#

and ideally i want both deadly strike and hunter dash to help shore up the lower % boost of strike anyways

#

so grabbing it earlier and hoping for deadly strike soon after is something i do sometimes

true fable
#

tail can you just do 32 so that the 40 heat WR isnt faster than the 32 heat one

shy gulch
#

LMAO

mossy zinc
#

Any heat WR but at 50 Heat.

Good luck with that

@weak mesa congratulations on 57! You can submit your run to the high heat leaderboard (pinned here). squirtnya

Grats on the 57 @weak mesa

solemn pulsar
#

57 hestia haeliaPog

slender aspen
#

I wish there was a better way to share he builds that people run on those high heats

gaunt fiber
#

We take what we can

#

it's more about decisions than having a build in mind

#

since a build would actually be a core boon and a dash or something like that

solemn pulsar
#

yeah 57 heat there is no build

sly remnant
#

there are obviously things that we like and those aren't too different from 32/40/45 runs. however mega high heat is a lot of skill and a lot of luck. You need both. And when those two things align enough for a run you end up with some weird ass builds

#

in general tho. at high heat. arti good

rain sedge
#

whoa, crepes just got unseated from rail king

#

oh nice this is the highest switch clear

dire steppe
#

the 57 hestia has no core boons too

#

that’s unbelievably based

#

who needs olympians

solemn pulsar
#

im super impressed at the EM4 clear with no boons with only shackle damage in <20 mins

sly remnant
#

hestia is a good weapon

dire steppe
#

hestia is beowulf

green citrus
#

Reload button OP

honest kernel
#

That's EM4 clear

#

WHAT

#

Wish I could say the same for Zeus shield, heck

solemn pulsar
#

given how awful DC would be for high heat hestia, 57 is pretty close to max viable heat for the aspect, I think

ripe crane
#

60 is fine, RI3 and DC0

#

Just have to be willing to play forever until you get perfect hammers and boons. Basically the 57 but with greatest reflex.

ripe crane
solemn pulsar
#

i mean if you're good, yeah

#

or be bad like me and have to luck into AP2 heartbreak strike so you can take acorn into hades

ripe crane
#

I should probably practice the EM4 fight at some point.

#

If I have a record to take back. I'm calling it seeded until I see a vid tho 😏

gaunt fiber
#

just wanna share this masterpiece

rain sedge
#

he's on switch, he probably has the same problem as me

#

*had I suppose

#

actually unsure, he has such a clean screenshot so might just have a capture card

solemn pulsar
#

you going for any heat speedies with GY?

#

wow there literally isn't one on the leaderboard yet for this patch

mossy zinc
spice whale
#

Managed to get to Theseus and Asterius on 32 heat, but died to them. :(

mossy zinc
#

That's still pretty good, though.

spice whale
#

EM Asterius is nasty.

mossy zinc
#

Want me to look over pacts to see if I can help make things easier?

spice whale
#

Sure.

green citrus
#

You can get away with not doing EM3 on 32 heat imo.

spice whale
#

I was mostly doing EM4 for the 10 extra heat.

mossy zinc
#

You can also get away mirrorless and boonless at 32.

green citrus
#

The heat boost is definitely nice but as you've found out, it makes the fights quite hard lol

spice whale
#

Mirrorless is kinda scary, tbh

green citrus
weak mesa
#

thanks guys :D I got some really good hammer luck

#

I'm on switch, I have the last 30 sec recorded but not more than that

spice whale
#

What I have enabled so far is:

Hard Labor 1
Lasting Consequences 1
Jury Summons 4
Extreme Measures 4
Benefits Package 2
Middle Management
Forced Overtime 2
Damage Control 2
Tight Deadline 1

mossy zinc
#

You can still submit your screenshot to the leaderboard, and it'll be in the Honorable Mentions tab.

green citrus
#

Oof DC2 on EM4 is bold for 32 haha

spice whale
#

I use the rail, that's why

#

Eris.

green citrus
#

Fair enough, but dang it still rough lol.

mossy zinc
#

You'll take way less damage over your run with HL5 FO0 than with HL0 FO2.

spice whale
#

So basically, No healing. Alright. I'll just have to be careful.

mossy zinc
#

You use Stubborn Defiance for healing.

rain sedge
#

TD1 on eris

spice whale
#

Ooooooh

#

I used DD normally

rain sedge
#

also pretty sure JS only goes to 3

spice whale
#

Yeah, it was 3

#

my b

mossy zinc
#

Yeah, you can def do TD3 or at the very least TD2.

rain sedge
#

just do TD3 for the free 5 heat

spice whale
#

I did do TD2 originally

weak mesa
rain sedge
#

it's on eris

spice whale
#

I'm not great at TD3, because my runs in Tartarus tend to be slow. :(

mossy zinc
#

EM3 is fine. EM4 is brutal.

#

They'll be faster if you have JS0 CP0 DC0.

#

Take free chambers and miniboss chambers.

green citrus
#

And still run the DDs

#

TD3 isn't so bad on Eris especially, even if you're not super used to running fast.

spice whale
#

Alternatively, I could skip Underworld Customs and still grab 32 Heat.

sly remnant
#

if you use peach's pact i'd drop FO2 for EM3 DC2 and find the one heat somewhere else

spice whale
#

Heightend Security

sly remnant
#

Like nyaanyaa was saying FO is a lot of damage

spice whale
#

Scary, but it gives 1 heat

rain sedge
#

DC2 is free heat on eris

#

for beginners at least

#

I don't use it when I speedrun, but it's way easier than anything else that you can give to beginners

green citrus
#

I mean yeah DC2 isn't so bad with Eris so I'd take points outta CF or FO for sure

rain sedge
#

never take HS

#

guide is pinned btw

spice whale
#

Alright

rain sedge
#

check your mirror setup too (pinned)

spice whale
#

Got it

#

Mirror:

Shadow Presence
Dark Regeneration (Could swap that out)
Stubbron Defiance
Greater Reflex
Boiling Blood
Infernal Soul
Deep Pockets
Thick Skin
Family Favorite
Dark Foresight
Gods' Legacy
Fated Persuasion

#

Lemme know if there's anything that should be swapped

sly remnant
#

i like stygian soul for eris. it makes your hermes boons better and is easier to enable ravenous will.

spice whale
#

Fair enough

#

Swapped that out

#

What I always like to do with the rail is run the Zeus Keepsake for Lightning Strike

sly remnant
#

there's an argument for god's pride as well. what duos do you care about with eris?

spice whale
#

I suppose something like Stubborn Roots could be nice for free healing in a pinch. (Even if it's not much).

Then again, I shouldn't need it.

#

I'll go God's Pride

#

Should I swap out Family Favorite?

sly remnant
#

no nono

spice whale
#

Alright.

#

Just makin' sure my setup is good.

sly remnant
#

rest of that setup is good i think with those changes

rain sedge
spice whale
#

Perfect.

rain sedge
#

send us your heat too

#

seems like we're all bored at "work"

spice whale
#

32 Heat.

rain sedge
#

are you even back at work yet tyler?

#

no as in, your pact setup

spice whale
#

Ah

sly remnant

yea i'm back

#

pulled a 12 hour day yesterday

rain sedge

good lord man

#

that's more than I've worked this week

someone made a pretty severe mistake at work

32 Heat right on the dot

vital grove
#

TD3

#

Man you don't want TD3

rain sedge
#

it's eris phoenix.

vital grove
#

Do Td2 with JS3

#

Trust me bro

rain sedge
#

that LC3 is weird

sly remnant
#

i disagree with phoenix but its your pact

edgy arrow
#

it’s eris just do TD3 and JS3

rain sedge
#

I also disagree with phoenix, and I main eris

#

what is your plan with the LC3? you have DDs rather than SD?

spice whale
#

I have SD

rain sedge
#

then just put it to LC4

spice whale
#

Alright

rain sedge
#

and have 1 less HL or CF

#

the idea is you heal with SD

spice whale
#

CF0

#

Sounds good

rain sedge
#

yea you get more boons that way

sly remnant
#

yea i like CF0 too

rain sedge
#

and you can sell it to UC

sly remnant
#

things can't hurt you if they are dead

spice whale
rain sedge
#

I think this is as easy as it gets for eris, GL

#

give it 5 or so tries you'll get it

spice whale
#

Got it

#

RIP my streak. haha

sly remnant
#

do you know how to use athena DDs with stubborn defiance @spice whale

rain sedge
#

streaks is irrelevant, max heat is where the clout is

vital grove
#

Hey for someone new to Eris and TD3 in general I'd skip TD3 but good luck

sly remnant
rain sedge
# sly remnant x to doubt

*streak at any heat, if you manage to streak 40 heat like bablo does then that's a new sorta clout

rain sedge
#

I think maybe 2 or 3 other people in the world can do what he did

sly remnant
#

agreed

spice whale
#

Delta Chamber Eris? eyesc

#

Never having to reload is nice.

vital grove
#

It's fine

#

What else are you offered

spice whale
#

Piercing Fire, Cluster Bomb

vital grove
#

Cluster bomb IMO

edgy arrow
#

go cluster

spice whale
#

Got it

sly remnant
#

ez cluster bomb

rain sedge
#

cluster bomb is the best hammer

#

I think

vital grove
#

If you can find rocket, get that too

spice whale
#

Chaos Gates are not a good idea here, tbh

rain sedge
#

that being said my 50 heat eris was carried by delta chamber, so maybe that's the best hammer

#

I mean, I'd take it for the time save

vital grove
#

Chaos gates are must take on TD3

rain sedge
#

I'm guessing you're new to TD3, so probably take it

spice whale
#

I am indeed new to it

rain sedge
#

you have 4 rolls and AP0, chances are, even if the boons dont help you, it's worth taking just for the time save

spice whale
#

Let's see...

#

Slouthful Ambush: No.

#

Halting Favor: Maybe...?
Pauper's Lunge: Probably not.

rain sedge
#

halting favor, what's the curse?

vital grove
#

Moves peed?

sly remnant
#

move speed

rain sedge
#

I'd take that

spice whale
#

Dash has -40% Range

rain sedge
#

oh.

sly remnant
#

ah dash

rain sedge
#

no .

sly remnant
#

i always mix them up

rain sedge
#

you'd die

spice whale
#

Probably Reroll.

rain sedge
#

no dont

#

just take pauper's lunge

#

it's a wash but you want the free room

sly remnant
#

i'm with schad

vital grove
#

See if you find special damage maybe

spice whale
#

Alright.

#

My Dash-Strike gets +100% damage

rain sedge
#

I'd take halting favor but for your first 32 that's kinda dangerous

spice whale
#

After 3 encounters

rain sedge
#

100% is... a lot, but it's negligible in eris

vital grove
#

Dash strike is useless on Eris

sly remnant
#

it way too early to be rerolling chaos for special damage

rain sedge
sly remnant
#

no its not

hearty dome
#

TD3 for first 32 heat ? that's rough

sly remnant
#

you dash strike all the time with eris

rain sedge
#

you just want to get it done, not optimising your run

#

just play it safe

vital grove
#

Sure sure but the damage is +10 for 1 hit or something

rain sedge
#

it's not useless, but it's basically negiligible

#

unlike the 107% dash strike king got for his WR 40 heat

vital grove
#

+gold can be good early if you have CF2

sly remnant
#

he is running CF0

spice whale
#

Yeah, CF0

vital grove
#

Ah nvm then

spice whale
#

So I'll go for Pauper's Lunge?

vital grove
#

It won't hurt you much and it won't help you much

#

But you saved time

sly remnant
#

ye. exactly

spice whale
#

Alright, so kind of a neutral curse all around.

sly remnant
#

small benefit on the effect. but it won't kill you and you saved a lot of time

spice whale
#

Gotcha.

#

Gemstone Chamber, Nectar Chamber, Darkness Chamber.

sly remnant
#

and rerolling chaos this early on a non-cast weapon is a bit sus if you have something bearable

vital grove
#

Just don't take gold rewards while the curse lasts

spice whale
#

Gemstones are uselss since I can't get $

sly remnant
#

ye

#

bruh play the run

#

you got this

vital grove
#

Nectar will pom your boon

spice whale
#

Arphodite or Zeus...

vital grove
#

Sounds good

sly remnant
#

don't agonize over every decision

#

trust your gut

spice whale
#

Gotcha gotcha

sly remnant
#

and if you fail look back on your decisions

spice whale
#

Gotcha

rain sedge
#

yea just chill

vital grove
#

I mean core is like lightning attack, if you can get aphro special and tidal dash that's great

rain sedge
#

the fun is on the figuring out

vital grove
#

Or do people run divine Dash i dunno

rain sedge
#

I'd take divine dash on first 32

#
  • unlock athena DDs
#

I'd play tidal dash for speedruns

sly remnant
#

yea wristeCrutch good for first 32

spice whale
#

...That moment when you have Than's companion and you forgot to take it off

#

And the Doomstone just... got out of the damage circle.

vital grove
#

Just treat it like Meg

#

Try to dodge around inside the circle to keep things there

spice whale
#

Early Thanatos.

#

And shut him out. :D

Picked up a useless Dionyisus boon. (After Party)
