😄 that was so hard without finding heart rend, smair, lightning rod, or even mirage shot D:
heavy solar
Smair, heart rend, lightning rod, etcetera kinda unnecessary
Only sad thing is all the poms on attack and special
paper oxide
i'm always looking for a little bit of help with sword since i'm so bad at it
paper oxide
oh? should i go more all in on poseidon? i didn't realize poms on attack were so much worse
special was a force
heavy solar
Poms on artemis attack suck
It scales horribly
and you already have hyper sprint and rush delivery so you didn’t really need the additive damage
So it could’ve leaned hard into tidal dash and shoals I think
paper oxide
if it was aphro attack would poms have been worth it?
heavy solar
hmm… on sword I would say not really but since you had dedge I’m not sure
wait you didn’t have dedge
vivid sedge
if it was aphro attack would poms have been worth it?
more than arty attack yeah
heavy solar
Pomming aphro attack does significantly more then arte attack
heavy solar
I just got shadow slash, dash nova and flurry slash as options during my shackle pos run 
vivid sedge
fwiw that build didnt necessarily need a lot of poms
heavy solar
Guess I’m picking shadow slash
That build could’ve used the poms better on splash dash and shoals, right?
vivid sedge
up to a point

😄 Is Drunken Strike the only boon that reasonably scales forever like this? would it work with doom?
heavy solar
hangover boons scale amazingly like this yeah
and then things like curse of nausea and low tolerance boost your hangover exponentially
bold jolt
hangover is the only thing in the game that'll keep increasing consistently with poms, doom not so much it drops off after a certain point
heavy solar
I got annoyed by pos shackle 18 heat so I skipped it for arthur shackle 19 and will go back to pos later
Only sad part was no dedge
swift chasm
Arthur doesn't need degde in a way other aspects need
Shadow strike can bring more dmg
swift chasm
I didn't say it's not needed, I said you don't need to fish for it that hard for Arthur
And also dash-strikes for this aspect seem strange to use
heavy solar
fish for it?
I should've said it would've been nice to have rather then it was sad that it didn't have it
heavy solar
fishing for hammers is nigh impossible other then picking up hammers that'll take off hammer options you don't want
hence my question
swift chasm
About seeing victory screen - yes, I saw it. About fishing for dedge - considering that for Arthur main way of attacking is doing aoe swings which have bigger hitboxes than they look like, double edge is not necessary (still nice to have, quickens kills single targets) like for other 3 aspects, where you many do dash-strikes with occasional specials and double edge straight up more than doubles dps.
This is what I wanted to convey 🙂

because you can lay down all 3 specials at once

is the special reload longer than normal rail special or is it just really slow in general

Special only rama best rama
strange latch
vivid sedge
Special only rama best rama
special only rama is unaruably the only way to make this trash weapon useable. and even then its only somewhat useable since it only has access to one special hammer. its basicially nothing compared to the superiority of chiron. the attack charges up way too slowly to be useable and shared suffering is a gimmick at best, it adds nothing to help pulling this aspect out of mediocrity. if youre lucky enough and get repluse shot you might - and I say MIGHT get the chance to actually get an attack off with this thing, and even then its simply not worth it. the attack speed is way too slow and the damage completly pales in comparison to actually fast hitting aspects like gilgamesh. its sad to say but supergiantgames design philosophy of making most hidden aspects basicially a slow and unusable version of their base weapon has backfired completly. first beowulf - now this. hidden aspects are supposed to be strong and rewarding for the sheer grind I had to go through to unlock them. I dont even know if I want to unlock hidden rail at this point

well rng gambling is always so good though

this is why you dont roll for hermes smh
bold jolt
the only thing rng got me was a third chaos in ely which i took over patty lmao
vivid sedge
nice lol
west lance
damn that was a good RNG run right there

Lvl 9 curse wow
bold jolt
Beo moment
paper oxide
unfortunately i couldn't find heart rend or rush delivery, but smair rod and the nonsense from the beginning of the run still carried me. might be my best nemesis performance. didn't even dd that fight.
mild egret
first beowulf run got my fastest time with the shield i had no idea the insane speed you could kill bosses at with this thing
bold jolt
Could be faster if you had mirage shot lol
Mirage does an extra 100% damage instead of an extra 30%
grim peak
you've heard of flourishless zeus
now get ready for
castless beo
this was unironically extremely easy and showed me that beowulf is literally still a top 10 aspect without cast boons
the dragon rush attack buff on top of charged shot is like a massive aoe hestia
bold jolt
accidently hit escape before screenshotting but i got an 8:42 run because i botched a flamewheel room that wouldn't stop spawning and missed 2 sigil boosted 4-cast volleys on dad fight feels great
could've been at least below 8:30 rip
bold jolt
guess who got budget mirage shot
vivid sedge
where 50
bold jolt
instead of having 3 casts do double damage just use 6 casts
vivid sedge
guess who got budget mirage shot
fully loaded without mirage 😔
grim peak
40 is legit such a joke after doing enough 50+ runs
grim peak
try luci 50 its easy
not again
vivid sedge
pretty big jump, no?
grim peak
que
vivid sedge
i mean idk wasnt your 50 zag shield already ap2 ri2
bold jolt
fully loaded without mirage 😔
had 4 chances to get mirage but got fully loaded in styx instead so i managed with budget mirage
grim peak
i mean idk wasnt your 50 zag shield already ap2 ri2
yeah
so I don't understand why 53 is causing me so much grief
vivid sedge
3 heat on top of that is insane
grim peak
it's just CP1 and HS
vivid sedge
and js and hell mode
grim peak
eh I was on JS3 for all three 50s
grim peak
yeah which is why I'm confused why it's kicking my ass
vivid sedge
anyway im sure you could beat 7:29 easily
grim peak
man you're just constantly trying to lead me to the dark side
vivid sedge
its fun smh
grim peak
you know I just realized PL actually ended one of my better 53 runs in an embarrassing way
vivid sedge
getting a good time even if not pb is also fun
grim peak
inputted dash a frame too late and lost 60 hp to butterflies instantly
it was my dumbest death
literally chamber was just three bballs and I threw
vivid sedge
man you're just constantly trying to lead me to the dark side
you know you want these wells
grim peak
but what about my last speedrun attempt where I saw 8 chances of mirage before getting it in styx
vivid sedge
were you on pride
grim peak
nope
vivid sedge
wack
grim peak
and half were on legacy + keepsake
grim peak
hades is pure rng smh
vivid sedge
was that your 7:29?
grim peak
nope
vivid sedge
oh i was about to say
grim peak
yep
vivid sedge
i cant imagine ely or heroes without it
grim peak
it sucked
vivid sedge
reset for no mirage before lernie btw
grim peak
my time was actually quite speedy considering that circumstance tbh
vivid sedge
its not worth trying to save the run after that
grim peak
good point
vivid sedge
you can get away with 2:10-2:20 with mirage
i wouldnt go past that because thats just trying to highroll rooms
grim peak
bet
vivid sedge
aim for sub2
grim peak
not everyone can skip ely
vivid sedge
aim for sub2
even without mirage
you dont need mirage until lernie although it helps before then
vivid sedge
only roll hermes for hyoer sprint once btw
ik it goes against all your instincts
but rolls for wells are insane
vivid sedge
yeah almost always
itll generally get you 3-4 wells +opportunities to reroll
and braids/casts that you buy in like mid ely last until dad
grim peak
then sigil styx unless call otherwise acorn?
vivid sedge
sigil ely bad
good if you have no rerolls
vivid sedge
then sigil styx unless call otherwise acorn?
tbh try to sell call and take dad call lol
grim peak
for rerolling do you wanna buy out the well first
like does that boost chances of braids and stones on reroll
vivid sedge
only situation in which id take a call is if its only prereq that arty gives
grim peak
got it
vivid sedge
for rerolling do you wanna buy out the well first
i have no idea
i buy anything thats even somewhat good if i have a lot of money
grim peak
healing good for HC huh
vivid sedge
yeah
was about to say buy healing for hc if you dont have it
(and can spare the money)
hydralite is way better though
its literally just hc throughout elysium for 45 gold
absolutely broken
grim peak
one more thing
I know you should roll chaos for curses but you shouldn't roll chaos for buffs right
vivid sedge
you should roll once for buffs
if nothing just take whatever and be sad
if 3 bad curses there reset
grim peak
k
vivid sedge
ofc dont reset on good pace if you get like 40% halting lol
but if thats like c3 then just pull the trigger
hollow jacinth
40 heat pb

How in lords name do you beat the game in 5 minutes

My zag rail shackle run

drunken dash pog
vivid sedge
actually a really good drunken dash
paper oxide
what makes that so
violet bloom
just need 9 poms 🙂
heavy solar
it was shackle gaming where else where the poms going
violet bloom
that call
heavy solar
I got the call late
vivid sedge
just need 9 poms 🙂
and this is why you dont take drunken dash lol
grim peak
breaking news: drunken dash does damage
hades experts report that this is a first in recent memory
kind citrus
This was fairly interesting. I dont do Spear runs often so this is a refresher
vivid sedge
breaking news: drunken dash does damage
it did good damage in one of my chiron 50 attempts
paper oxide
I kinda thought passion flare was one of the stronger flares but it seemed underwhelming to me
maybe i just needed to find mirage shot
hollow jacinth
Yeah mirage shot will def make it less underwhelming
paper oxide
but without mirage shot where does passion flare rank?
also is demeter cast any good at all for beo
hollow jacinth
also is demeter cast any good at all for beo
It’s awful
vivid sedge
passion flare is one of the rare cases where you should use pstatus
and get snow burst
hollow jacinth
but without mirage shot where does passion flare rank?
Pretty highly compared to other flares without mirage
Probably the highest tbh
vivid sedge
also is demeter cast any good at all for beo
its bad but only because it has really bad scaling
the aoe is actualpy great but it sucks because it does no damage once you get to like aspho
hollow jacinth
And there’s a delay with it coming out
paper oxide
ah

These are some bonkers call and dash builds lol

32 heat was a lot easier than i expected lol

very nice
bold jolt
it's not that terrible lol
vivid sedge
32 heat was a lot easier than i expected lol
yeah lol, beo is cracked
bold jolt
mirage shot tart def helped a lot lmao
but i straight up never used an SD because i kept getting hearts and hardly ever got hit as well
back when i did my first 2 32 heats i was constantly on the verge of death and cycling through SDs after nearly every room
vivid sedge
but i straight up never used an SD because i kept getting hearts and hardly ever...
damnn thats kinda cracked
40 when tbh
heavy solar
shackle chiron done
I had the chaos flourish and concentrated volley right from the start of the run
bold jolt
40 when tbh
now actually i was about to ask about what pact i should take
vivid sedge
add like
heavy solar
em5
bold jolt
if i have to add em4 i'll need to do practice runs to learn that fight lol i've only ever done it twice and beat it once
vivid sedge
hl5 hs cf1 js2 ig?
bold jolt
aight i'll let y'all know if i get potted or not
vivid sedge
alternatively you can do an em4 pact and shift a lot of heat off of the annoying stuff
beo can handle em4 really well but it can still be pretty annoying
bold jolt
i'll try this pact and see how it goes, if the rooms are killing me too much then i'll learn em4
vivid sedge
cool
vivid sedge
clockets is awesome
bold jolt
turns out getting mirage shot in tartarus makes things a lot easier lmao
this was second try, died to lernie without mirage shot first try
paper oxide
this was fun. i'm kind of proud of no deaths against dad with fists and no ranged attacks
bold jolt
big dash atk
heavy solar
that's the last of the zagreus aspects for my shackle runs
I think my specials were doing about 700 damage on average
definitely some of the most fun I've had with spear
paper oxide
yeah the dashes were sweet andd then i get rush delivery in styx anyway. insane run

Its in German but i hope the symbols speak for themselves. Also won at 5 health and 0 Death Defiance

The skull?
Are you referring to the boon that looks like a skull
If so then it’s god mode, a thing you can turn on in the settings, gives you damage resistance
swift chasm
Still not being good with spear, but I'll take the win
heavy solar
Still not being good with spear, but I'll take the win <:dusa:522248771409543188...
That was a close win 
swift chasm
I had a situation where it was just one good hit from spear or demeter cast and I had athena call available. I'm not sure if there's some lag to activate call, but when I wanted to use it, daddy just hit me with thrown spear, killing me 😦
heavy solar
I never take athena call I wouldn’t know
heavy solar
I only do big brain builds like this
fallow aurora
If so then it’s god mode, a thing you can turn on in the settings, gives you dam...
oh i see ive never used god mode before

I haven’t either
I just remember asking and getting told the same before in much the same manner
