[grim peak]

arty after giving you 10 boons and no fully loaded on castspect:

r!ntwic

[hollow jacinth]

game after making me work for a sub 2 tart

instead of just giving me normal enemies

[grim peak]

arty after showing up 3 times naturally and giving you fully loaded on lucifer:

[versed crane]

fully loaded only shows up when you're not looking for it

3rd law of hades

[vivid sedge]

jesus christ how did you get so good at this game so fast

[versed crane]

rama is easy though tbh

[hollow jacinth]

like 350+ hours

[versed crane]

that was like attempt 4

[versed crane]

that's about right

[vivid sedge]

oh makes sense

i have like 175-200 real hours

[hollow jacinth]

i have 700

[versed crane]

i'm not sure how many of these hours are real hours

i leave the game overnight constantly

🤷‍♀️

[hollow jacinth]

long way away from other5s

[vivid sedge]

based

anyways more importantly how did you play that much in like a month

[versed crane]

i bought the game june 29th

[hollow jacinth]

I bought the game September 20th 2020

[vivid sedge]

i bought it like april 9th and i have way less hours than you lmao

[versed crane]

ok listen i just have nothing better to do with my life right now

[west lance]

which achievements have you not done in 400 hours????

[versed crane]

uhhh

max all keepsakes

sell legendary

use greater call in trial

[bold jolt]

Sell legendary isn't too bad, max keepsakes is a pain because long, greater call in trial is just pain

[west lance]

This is definitely one of the weirder wins I've ever gotten

[bold jolt]

Many dashes many casts very nice

[violet bloom]

+4 dashes on beo 🗿

[versed crane]

can't sell u r legendaries if u don't get any

[west lance]

my first time with Heroic reflex. 6 splashy dashies

[bold jolt]

Just take pride because legacy is a scam

[versed crane]

haven't ap2ed into any legendaries yet i think

mightve unhealthy fixation actually

[west lance]

i wiped out elysium just pushing enemies into walls

[bold jolt]

Ah ap2 well that's a different issue lmao

[west lance]

i achievement hunted so hard with this game lol

[versed crane]

the only keepsake i don't have maxed rn is distant memory

which is still untouched

[west lance]

I went out of my way to get a legendary and sell it and I lost my run because of it i think

distant memory is a pretty good keepsake though?

I use it in Elysium with rail quite a bit

It's not the best option but if the build calls for it I'll do it

[primal crown]

should move to other channel

[versed crane]

obviously it's not one of my runs unless it has a cheat engine tier build

playing good aspects is so invigorating

[primal crown]

gaming

[violet bloom]

actually cheating

[vivid sedge]

play low heat stupid smh

[vivid sedge]

ok youre definitely cheating wtf

you cant get this stuff on ap2

also nice cp2 lmao

[primal crown]

Paws but honestly idk where my dmg came from

Got funny 3.8k meg tho

[bold jolt]

tdash duh

[violet bloom]

nice hammer

[primal crown]

I got a hammer on styx if that explains how much i avoided it

[autumn bronze]

forced overtime wasnt nearly as bad as i thought itd be

[versed crane]

it was that or routine inspection 1

and i don't like routine inspection 1

[vivid sedge]

pretty based but also gy

[versed crane]

gy is cracked

doesn't need cp1

[primal crown]

Stubborn roots carry + 5 sack

Sold it once and could buy so many things

[violet bloom]

thank god you got stubborn roots

[primal crown]

Actual good build (and budget eris lol)

[violet bloom]

wouldve sub6ed if you were playing eris smh

[primal crown]

And rails are done

[primal crown]

Shields done, now fists-spear or sword

[paper oxide]

well that was painful

[bold jolt]

legacy is a scam pt 2

i wasted all my rerolls on chaos in tart and hermes in tart

[vivid sedge]

not seeing a lot of purple there either

[bold jolt]

legacy and pride are both a scam

just dont even use that mirror upgrade at this point

[paper oxide]

like 50 second dad kill. i was offered parting shot 4 times and heart rend not a single time.

oh well clockets is busted so -shrug-

[young mica]

first god mode-less run

[versed crane]

Probably shoulda taken the parting shot to pull it from the pool

[paper oxide]

Does it check to see if I get a duo and then pick which one?

[versed crane]

I'm not exactly sure how the rolling works but if it rolls duo again and you already have parting shot it can't offer it

[vivid sedge]

yes

[marble sky]

I would suggest taking more hearts tbh, they really make the game much easier.

[honest jewel]

Finally completed my first complete run with the Spear with Ares, Artemis, and Aphrodite boons.

[paper oxide]

was kinda free

[primal crown]

R o d

[paper oxide]

Well that was nuts

[rancid oriole]

most op cast build I had so far, triple lob cast and Hades just shrinks to half life XD

[fallow aurora]

no poms on cast

[heavy solar]

Shackle Achilles spear done (that’s the last of Shackle Varatha)

Dad fight was just over a minute 15 seconds long

UC made me sell epic double strike (wasn’t going to sell jolted or hyper sprint)

[grim peak]

in this case the play was actually selling jolted

the status effects boons have a heightened chance of being offered compared to other non core boons so it would've had a decent shot of being replaced

and with flurry jab the majority of your dps was RD splitting bolt which double strike directly buffed

[vivid sedge]

^^

[grim peak]

and you were on FO0 so jolted was far less effective

[vivid sedge]

also i think double strike is bugged on splitting bolt

to be far more effective than it says it is

[grim peak]

well double strike is a boon in hades a supergiant game

of course it's bugged

[vivid sedge]

wait nevermind its not

[grim peak]

:rofxic:

[vivid sedge]

only thunder flourish, flare, heveans vengenace, and sea storm

[grim peak]

only on lightning bolts?

[vivid sedge]

well no

its not on call and dash

[grim peak]

I thought it was on call

[vivid sedge]

not according to the doc

[grim peak]

man this game is scuffed

[paper oxide]

like 40 seconds

[bold jolt]

big dash

[vivid sedge]

decent build

[paper oxide]

big dash. it was only level 2 and rare too

[violet bloom]

where your poms at

[paper oxide]

tidal dash sure loves those additive damage bonuses

it went ok

[paper oxide]

where did i put them or why didn't i get more?

[violet bloom]

i was just saying how you didnt get many poms

even with sweet nectar

[paper oxide]

tbf i got sweet nectar right before the champs or something

big dash. it was only level 2 and rare too

i donno i should learn to prioritize them more when i have something good to put them in

but i love boons

always in search of boons

[hidden pewter]

theres a mod to get this data or how do you get it?
Im new to this

[paper oxide]

The dps meter is a mod yeah

It's called Ello's DPS meter

I wish it could parse how much damage stuff like bellowing strength contributed but oh well

[hidden pewter]

Thanks i will look up a tutorial for the mods

[autumn bronze]

insanely good boon rng

[primal crown]

Gaming

[autumn bronze]

very gaming

[tawdry root]

darkness.

[primal crown]

What a gamer

Also ofc is in td3 range

[tawdry root]

i dunno how that happened honestly... i only realized upon posting

i did get insanely good luck. mostly epic boons, exit wounds, quick reload

[vivid sedge]

yeah maybe you couldve done td3

your fastest time is now on 32 heat lmao

[tawdry root]

i kind of didn't do what you said and took extra speed on attack, then triple dipped in styx. i was offered epic rd with 40% speed but i figured quick reload would be helpful for ending the fight quicker and not letting me stand still

but yeah i had mega options. really good run, even better rng

[vivid sedge]

yeah quick reload better than 40% global

[tawdry root]

yep

[vivid sedge]

cracked gaming

[tawdry root]

if i'm not moving i'm taking damage 💀 but this was fun. gonna keep going with heat once i master 32

[vivid sedge]

yoo

[bold jolt]

based pact

[tawdry root]

i think the timer is more

mental for me

i was still scared of it, but not as much, so i didn't mess up execution as much

if i get twin flurry every run i can crush 32 lol

[primal crown]

Happens more often than you think

[vivid sedge]

twin flurry zag bow is very

[tawdry root]

i can imagine

[versed crane]

who cares about ap2

just get the boons

lmao

why can't i highroll this hard on hades spear 🙁

[vivid sedge]

ok this is total bs

[bold jolt]

my soul hurts

[vivid sedge]

@grim peak

look at this

this is complete bs

that was a 45 heat clear

ap0

[grim peak]

wtf

[vivid sedge]

you just made it look like ap2

[grim peak]

I thought my AP2 RD was highroll

[versed crane]

just get the boons

[vivid sedge]

this is disgusting

[versed crane]

i want this on the BAD aspects though

and not beowulf

[tawdry root]

just get the boons

[autumn bronze]

simply acquire the blessings

[vivid sedge]

you cant just ap2 into hyper delivery snow burst heroic rav will marked and an athena dd

thats just cheating

[versed crane]

heart rend sucks

should've given me epic surrender instead

[hollow jacinth]

That’s a better build than I got on ap1 ri0

I had: level 2 common cast, no snow burst

But I also had smair Zeus aid

[tawdry root]

when i say i was CLENCHED bro i was one hit away my vision was red from being so tense i was shakin in my boots. 1st try 32 rama. I LOVE RAMA BOW!!!

didn't change the pact at all

[vivid sedge]

what are those hammers?

[primal crown]

Gamer

[hollow jacinth]

Perfect point blank

[tawdry root]

yeh

[vivid sedge]

couldve done td3 hl4 js0 cp0

[hollow jacinth]

GG

[grim peak]

epic

[vivid sedge]

ooh nice hammers then

[grim peak]

I see you were also running JS at 32

based

[vivid sedge]

ggs, nice job on the second 32

eris when tbh

[tawdry root]

actually could not have it would have killed me during heroes fight

i wasn't kidding abt that. i only had 30hp and i was 10s behind time

[tawdry root]

only 1 tho

[vivid sedge]

yeah but you wouldnt have been so low on time if you didnt have js and cp

[tawdry root]

hmm...

maybe one of these days i'll play with that you're right

[vivid sedge]

you can give 6 heat with just td a shot at some point and see how fast you can go

i think youre more than capable

[tawdry root]

with just td3? yeah ok sure

i can do that

[grim peak]

that's a good idea

[tawdry root]

me dodging everything 35 frames early:

[grim peak]

or yeah keep FO2 on too

[vivid sedge]

oh yeah and keep fo2 on it makes you faster

[bold jolt]

I see pride decided to actually work

[tawdry root]

WHERE DID PRIDE WORK

[vivid sedge]

just try to go fast

[tawdry root]

oh yeh that's the epic one

i thought u meant legacy

[bold jolt]

Lmfao

[tawdry root]

pride does very well for me actually. my luck is pretty good in general

rama td3? see ya in a minute

[bold jolt]

td3 lowkey easy for you probably
not having JS or CP will make it a lot easier

[tawdry root]

just td3 and fo2 will be simple

[grim peak]

CP always bad

I'm not allowed to give my opinion on JS by law

[tawdry root]

it doesn't matter to me. cp2 is noticeable and not fun tho

you already have

five minutes ago

[tawdry root]

i can shave minutes off this if i get flurry twin again + stop making so many footwork mistakes

swear my positioning alone this time cost me fifteen minutes LMAO

[primal crown]

artemis into styx nice

also if you wanna shave off time use em2 too

[bold jolt]

and not take td so you can get a survival room maybe

[tawdry root]

true

the timer runs on survival rooms tho

why would i want that

[primal crown]

it doesnt

[tawdry root]

whar?

[primal crown]

survival rooms-Than both pause it

[tawdry root]

i thought it didn't and that's why runners turn it on

or is that only rta runners

[primal crown]

only rta

[tawdry root]

ah. well then

guess i'll have to try again

i did get than tho which was nice

[fallow aurora]

cursed slash gaming

i cant believe i got 3 duos without legacy

[bold jolt]

legacy is a scam

[tawdry root]

legacy is completely unnecessary

such a fake mirror option

[fallow aurora]

8 aphro boons without dark foresight

[primal crown]

Hitless dad 🗿

[hollow jacinth]

Nice build

[bold jolt]

@heavy solar just get the boons™️

why tf did i have to do a shackle run this time it could've been such a great normal build lmao

also shackle beo does a lot of damage for some reason

[versed crane]

ferocious guard lmao

proof that shcakle sucks

[bold jolt]

lmao shackle's alright

just

dumb

[hollow jacinth]

I mean

175% attack damage isn’t anything to sniff at

Especially on an 80 damage attack

[versed crane]

just get the boons lmao

no hunter dash though 🙁

[bold jolt]

damn

should've just gotten the boon tbh

[vivid sedge]

stop cheating

[versed crane]

ok i'll get a worse build next time

[vivid sedge]

good

[versed crane]

my 50s are 0 skill

just ungodly luck

except for arthur that one sucked

[hollow jacinth]

RI1

DC2 is so much easier

[versed crane]

I don't ARE

[versed crane]

Tbh i've played so much garbage that i'm just conditioned to think DC = BAD!!!!!

[hollow jacinth]

Fair

But with ri0 you get amazing builds without trying

[versed crane]

Do i look like somebody who needs ri0 to get an insane build

[hollow jacinth]

True

Come to think of it, my build wasn’t that much better anyway

I only had 60 more hp

[left ridge]

First time completing 16 heat

[swift chasm]

My best sword run even with 3 sack

[primal crown]

Gaming

[swift chasm]

Indeed it was - dash-strike when both hits crit and weak curse was applied was dealing 650 x 2 dmg

I've never seen EM4 Hades melt down so quickly - maybe expect when I got rocket cluster build completed

Also I really saw that dash-strikes do additional dmg when hitting enemies in their backs - at least when I'm using mirror buff for that 🙂

[heavy solar]

Holy gaming

[swift chasm]

Also forgot to show that chaos attack boon gave me +37% to attack dmg

[fervent night]

Nice!

[west lance]

merciless end

I've never gotten ME this strong

[grim peak]

anyone running aphrodite instead of artemis attack for arthur is cracked in my book

[swift chasm]

It's more practical that way

[left ridge]

Ironically, the last time I did an Arthur artemis attack, people told me the opposite lol
I just switch depending on the mood

[grim peak]

ultimately aphrodite is just superior

people like artemis because she can give you funny big numbers but consistent damage + weak trumps all

[swift chasm]

Arthur is too slow to often crit with its base 15%

And there are ways with Athena to get better crit chance

[bold jolt]

Holy heroic doom

[paper oxide]

mom pom trippy flare tidal dash

8k rushes :p

[rich fulcrum]

Cast go brrrr

[primal crown]

Trippy gaming, but infernal gaming

[heavy solar]

Trippy infernal

[paper oxide]

i took mompom into tart not knowing what flare i'd get but being ok with mostly whatever. so i took infernal.

[viscid drum]

First Clear 🙂 Might not be much but Im happy

[whole gulch]

go meet mommy

[primal crown]

Gaming

[paper oxide]

this was an extremely annoying run. i had shackle in elysium but picked up clockets so i grabbed arty special and found 2 more aphro boons that didn't give me an attack. so i switch to aphro keepsake in styx hoping to find an attack and 3 more boons don't have attacks. i won but it would have been a lot easier if i had just not switched shackle out.

[hearty sky]

most recent clear (3rd one)
i enjoy running build with lots of curse effects, dionysus is underrated

[neat kraken]

Finally another win.

[bold jolt]

icy flare gaming

just get the boons™️

my epic flood flare from the start would've done 200+ damage if it was lvl 5 but oh well lmao

kinda funny

[vernal storm]

I think this may be as perfect as an hera run gets XD ^_^

The only thing missing here would be the duo boon between aphrodite and athena

[bold jolt]

eh parting shot isn't that great anyways but would've been neat i guess

just get the boons™️ moment

[vernal storm]

3 more runs and I got all the bounties. Then, the big ass grind starts

But that should be what, hestia + lowest difficulty?

[bold jolt]

wdym

[vernal storm]

farm the ranks

[bold jolt]

oh yeah have fun with that lmao

i'd pick a build that centers around poseidon so you can get the sea bounty boon, and then the standard speedrun pact of em2 fo2. throw in td1 in there as well so you dont see any survival rooms

and then ofc pray to chaos that you get the +% rewards

[vernal storm]

why em an fo?

[bold jolt]

nice hunting blades

[rich fulcrum]

Stubborn defiance wow that's a an unpopular choice

[bold jolt]

stubborn good on high heat

[violet bloom]

Wtf zyru posting is runs here????

[solemn talon]

for the novelty / shiggles only, back to the abyss I go

I probably won't post anything ever again unless it's sub 5/6/7 in any/40/50

[violet bloom]

:ogey:

[solemn talon]

speedcord and anancord is enough places to post

[violet bloom]

[swift chasm]

I was able to crit for 5472 dmg

[bold jolt]

as one does

[subtle adder]

Aspect of Smoldering Rip Current

[primal crown]

Saying aspect of poseidon is still fitting

[versed crane]

Lmao

when the weapon is so bad

[ebon berry]

only arthur left :Zagpls:

surely it cant be THAT bad right

[subtle adder]

It seems doable but not enjoyable

[versed crane]

lowkey

double edge build way easier than shadow slash

it's just too slow

[vale heart]

Managed to get merciful end in asphodel just before lernie

thank god

[hollow jacinth]

Poms

[vale heart]

Yeah I need hella poms for doom now

Eurydice got me that thick epic though

[bold jolt]

Privileged status gaming

[vale heart]

I forgot to take it off

[neat kraken]

Wait how do you get that screen during a run

I know you get at the end but in the middle, can’t figure it out

[hollow jacinth]

What control scheme?

[neat kraken]

Yeah

[hollow jacinth]

Kbm or controller?

[neat kraken]

Kbm

[hollow jacinth]

B

[neat kraken]

Thanks

[vale heart]

Merciful end really do be wilin

[hollow jacinth]

Yoo the poms came together in the end

Nice build

[versed crane]

draining cutter cracked 💪

[vale heart]

I rolled hermes 3 times and he didn't give me rush delivery :')

But my doom triggers were hitting for like 450 even without it

[uncut dew]

finally beat the game at 16 heat today :)

[grim peak]

corngrats!

[bold jolt]

pride gaming

[paper oxide]

Who was that asking why my best time was only 15 and their best time was 11? Eat your heart out.

[bold jolt]

shackle gaming let's go

[paper oxide]

I didn't need that deadly strike anymore anyway :p

[versed crane]

zagsword sucks never use it

[vivid sedge]

lmao so based

wait

wrong reply

[vivid sedge]

lmao based

epic rd gaming

[versed crane]

that was the right reply

[vivid sedge]

wait

[versed crane]

🤨

[bold jolt]

lmfao

[paper oxide]

😄

[bold jolt]

you good homie

[vivid sedge]

oh i give up

[bold jolt]

anyways +3 dashes on ap2

[paper oxide]

@primal crown Rod Gaming

[paper oxide]

I really wish tidal dash qualified for sea storm

[versed crane]

didn't they remove that because it was too good

[vivid sedge]

yeah

[paper oxide]

idc it's still really annoying

mirage shot please?

[vivid sedge]

this is why you run legacy on beo and not pride

also not taking cores from other gods would help lol

[bold jolt]

Damn that would've been amazing with mirage

[versed crane]

i mean there are no duos in that puctyure

[vivid sedge]

true but you shouldnt do it until you get mirage anyway

[paper oxide]

tbh i did find and sell sea storm

of course

[versed crane]

sea storm beo is sad

[vivid sedge]

yep this is why you dont take other gods

that wouldve been mirage if you didnt have athena or zeus lol

[versed crane]

could've been UNSHAKABLE METTLE

BEST DUO BOON OF ALL TIME

[vivid sedge]

10% damage resistance from bosses

[paper oxide]

i haven't really figured out how to just avoid other gods entirely

[vivid sedge]

well you dont exactly avoid them entirely, but you just dont wamt to take their core boons

because most of the time it opens unwanted duos

[neat kraken]

I get that its easy one skull but i am so proud of this build. The insane damage I put out was awesome. Plus I loved the spear.

[versed crane]

Hunting gaming

[kindred flare]

beat charon for the first time yay!

[left ridge]

I somehow got fisher king without poseidon's legendary
also 10 heat on all weapons now

[graceful mirage]

perfect build!!! but then it took me 4 rooms to get sack in styx huhu

[paper oxide]

this ended up weird

maybe i should have just gone for poseidon after getting hunting blades

[paper oxide]

wow second wind was huge at the end

[primal crown]

Blessed

[grim peak]

nice ce

[paper oxide]

CE?

[primal crown]

Wait how did you get rd? Or sold hs due to uc

[paper oxide]

i think i had plume equipped in elysium but then got completely destroyed and needed tooth for styx

[primal crown]

Makes sense

[paper oxide]

that was kinda fun. probably didn't need any of the duos

[timid ridge]

lol not rlly a victory but it's funny imo

[rich fulcrum]

lol ive done something similar it was very satisfying

[west lance]

different kind of victory boasting here

but I have now gotten every reward for every weapon

20 heat on all 6 infernal arms. I now have all contractor projects finished (including work orders/themes,) all weapon aspects fully upgraded, all rewards collected, all prophecies and all achievements

As far as I'm concerned, this is 100% completion. I know ranks are there, but that's literally hundreds of thousands of darkness

[vivid sedge]

nice, now time to do 64 heat

[west lance]

lmfao

if I do anything, I'm going to get 32 heat on each weapon

[fallow aurora]

this build goofy as hell ong

[bold jolt]

Do 40 and 50 heat afterwards lol

[hollow jacinth]

hell yeah

54 heat beowulf

[bold jolt]

gamer

[grim peak]

decent ce

[subtle adder]

That build is very… ice

[bold jolt]

hera's alright i suppose, really cannot get used to flurry (or twin flurry for that matter) but i can see why it's pretty good

my aim also just sucks so that doesn't help

also resetting SD takes so long with high security

[vivid sedge]

second hermes???

[bold jolt]

yeah idk what happened there

[vivid sedge]

[bold jolt]

styx had anvil, dont remember if hermes was on one of the doors lol

[vivid sedge]

a quick reload would have been nice there lmao

[bold jolt]

it really would've

[paper oxide]

Rama is so dumb

[heavy solar]

how is it dumb

wdym

[bold jolt]

why'd you bring plume into styx/dad instead of something defensive or offensive?

[heavy solar]

also special building on rama

[heavy solar]

gaming

[paper oxide]

i have like 462% bonus attack damage

[heavy solar]

gaming

so "rama is dumb", dumb good or dumb bad

[bold jolt]

dumb good probably lol

[paper oxide]

it was giving me some damage and dodge? i donno i really didn't feel like i needed any defense

yes dumb good. like it's stupid powerful

[bold jolt]

should've taken egg for meme lmao

fair enough i suppose

[paper oxide]

hangover did like 22% of the damage on dad. would something else have been better?

[heavy solar]

no

it's gaming

[vivid sedge]

build

[paper oxide]

🙂

[heavy solar]

should've taken shackle for better gaming

[vivid sedge]

what are those hammers

is that twin point blank?

or twin perfect

[paper oxide]

it is twin perfect

[heavy solar]

perfect I think

[vivid sedge]

ah ok

[heavy solar]

twin perfect 😍

twin flurry rama

[paper oxide]

i think the second was perfect, explosive, and something worse i can't remember

[versed crane]

low tolerance + splitting headache goes crazy !!!!

[heavy solar]

wait I didn't notice splitting headache

that is very very gaming

especially gaming

[versed crane]

it is right there in the screenshot...

[heavy solar]

I'm not doing great ok

[paper oxide]

so gaming is positive got it :p

[heavy solar]

I just had the most pointless arguement with someone who doesn't know what they're talking about for like the last 2 hours

so I'm a little negative

[bold jolt]

lmfao it do be like that

[vivid sedge]

oh yeah i didnt notice thats insane

its like you had aphro attack and arty attack at the same time

14% cc

[paper oxide]

man i didn't even notice how high my crit chance was that's hilarious

[bold jolt]

guan yu moment

pride doing work for once, all epic boons except hyper sprint

[heavy solar]

that looks fairly similiar to my guan yu run except I had shackle

and a lot of chaos

[vivid sedge]

holy build

[heavy solar]

holy build

big special

[bold jolt]

lmfao

it's a shame that i suck with guan yu tho tbh

[heavy solar]

nice life affirmation

gaming

[vivid sedge]

that should be ~600 damage specials

slightly more

[bold jolt]

yeah something like that

612 or so

oh and also the backstab well item thingy, occasionally got bigger numbers

[paper oxide]

oh man this was so painful

finally found sea storm in styx

i was basically winning non-boss fights with typhoon's fury

[tawdry root]

beat em3 32. super slow because terrible hammers, 3 sack, extremely low crush shot, didn't get quick reload until styx, etc. not sure where to go from here... 40 seems scary no matter how i look at adding heat

as always tho athena aid + dash clutch

[bold jolt]

epic chaos cast % tho

kinda makes up for low powered pom

[tawdry root]

i think it was the lower % range of epic. but yeah it was nice but i kept MISSING shots cuz of triple working funny with autoaim

oh well. it was a good exercise

[paper oxide]

that was what we in the biz call "a run" i guess

[heavy solar]

that is certainly a run

[bold jolt]

When you really do not want common jolted:

[heavy solar]

man a common jolted on this run would've been really sad

[paper oxide]

XD

[heavy solar]

wait why do you have uc on

[paper oxide]

which one is uc

oh customs

[bold jolt]

Underworld customs

[heavy solar]

the one which makes you purge a boon

[paper oxide]

why not

[heavy solar]

idk

the thing right beside it is freer

[bold jolt]

Should've taken routine inspection

[paper oxide]

mostly because of this

[heavy solar]

i'd rather middle management then uc

[bold jolt]

I'd rather hl than uc

[paper oxide]

you mean hl2?

how is 40% more damage less scary than purging a boon

[bold jolt]

Simply do not get hit

[heavy solar]

if you're following that why don't you have middle management on

[paper oxide]

fascinating

[heavy solar]

why have uc over mm

[paper oxide]

because tight deadline 3 is easy

[heavy solar]

tbh

I've been focusing on shackle runs rather than being fast recently

[paper oxide]

i didn't think very hard about uc vs mm, but i can do mm next run

mm and hl1

cause i'll be moving up a heat

[heavy solar]

I need to just complete my shackle runs and then I can get back to getting my times lower

[paper oxide]

i donno i randomly had a 10:29 run and realized tight deadline wasn't that hard so why not have a free pact

i'm not really trying to go fast or doing speedrun things on purpose i'm just not running in circles or fishing

[paper oxide]

no rush you have a goal that's the fun part

once i get all the weapons to 32 i might go by aspect

just to have a goal

[heavy solar]

I try to rush both but uh

best keepsake isn't best fast

[paper oxide]

it's weird how a game with so much additive bonuses end up actually exponential in effect

so shackle is sort of on the weaker end of bonus damage as a result

[heavy solar]

we should move to discussion

[paper oxide]

yeah mb

[tawdry root]

yeah i guess it really did make a difference...

[bold jolt]

Bad hammers and easily within td3 lol

Power of the pact

And not taking co or js

[tawdry root]

power of chaos, you mean!

but yeah fr it did make a difference

impressed tbh

[heavy solar]

chain shot should work in a funky way on hera

each shot has cast

[bold jolt]

Oh yeah beeg chaos cast dmg and cast damage

[tawdry root]

chain shot sales fall to 0% lol

oh thought u meant triple

yeah that would be pretty broken

[deft oak]

FIRST WIN OMG OMG OMG OMGO

I WONNNNN

[heavy solar]

big win

I forgot level 1 zeus shield was only 8 damage holy

[supple elbow]

Get Zeus shield with full Zeus build and watch it zap ⚡️ zap ⚡️

Congrats!

[lunar peak]

Bruh.

Ok.

Wait

[lunar peak]

Holy cricket 43 minutes? What took you so long? 🗿

[heavy solar]

don't bash peoples clears dude

[lunar peak]

I also have the most heat on the bow. It’s just goat.

[lunar peak]

Im Sorry.

[lunar peak]

Is this really good?

[tawdry root]

nice job.

[heavy solar]

pretty good guideline yes

[lunar peak]

Hahaha bruh wait. Ima show you what I always do 😂

[tawdry root]

#h1-discussion

[lunar peak]

But I will try and use this for my next run.

[heavy solar]

lets move this conversation over to #h1-discussion alright

[lunar peak]

My best so far.

[heavy solar]

neat

[kindred flare]

OMG WOOOOOO

[kindred flare]

i did it that definitely zapped

[supple elbow]

👌 ⚡️

[heavy solar]

Common jolted though

[paper oxide]

Yeah I'm definitely convinced that Greatest Reflex drastically increases splash dash damage. wow.

[heavy solar]

Having more dashes means more splashes

🧠

That splash dash is feeling sad with no poms though

[paper oxide]

lol yeah

so i misclicked one and put it in flood shot

and then probably took at least one boon over a pom at some point

[supple elbow]

How can you see the damage % :o

[heavy solar]

It’s a mod they’ve got

[supple elbow]

Cool

[paper oxide]

took forever but finally found divine dash. 3 chaos lunge boons and the special still only did 7.3k damage. are we sure dash-strike damage effects dash special?

[vivid sedge]

yeah its just that you had ME lmao

[paper oxide]

i wonder what it would have looked like if it was like zeus fists with arty special

[heavy solar]

Luci shackle done

Horrible glare though

Sorry

I stan concentrated beam now

I accidentally left on td 3 but it didn’t matter

I think I can just use td3 and not worry about it now tbh

[versed crane]

Cp1

[vivid sedge]

very sus

[fallow aurora]

lvl 6 beams + clarity at end of tartarus

lmao ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[versed crane]

Nice

[lunar peak]

What- how-

[violet bloom]

how what

[hollow jacinth]

Thunder dash sword 🤢

[grim peak]

chunky doom

[left ridge]

Only one second away from sub 15 but it's my new best with the rail

Got really lucky with hazard bomb on the first room

[tawdry root]

thunder dash zag sword my beloved

[versed crane]

Eris hazard 🤘

[supple elbow]

Gotten used to Hera now! Mostly I wanted to boast my HP and Lives… not intentional 😂

[tawdry root]

this man ran stygian trippy hera

incredibly based

[supple elbow]

😌

[tawdry root]

oh my God bp2 on sub 32 heat

why

[supple elbow]

Found this pinned and went with it

But it is pain

[rain ruin]

Keep at it

But fix your mirror

[supple elbow]

What is better to use on my mirror?

[rain ruin]

#h1-for-new-players message

[supple elbow]

So better to swap for cthtonic vitality and deep pockets? And probably family favorite?

[hollow jacinth]

Yes

[supple elbow]

Thank u! :)

[summer trail]

demeter cast boon build go brr

also this is my second victory completion right after my very first

[primal crown]

no poms on glaciar glare sad

[summer trail]

oh was that a better option than pom on crystal beam

cause i'm pretty sure i had a choice between the two

[summer trail]

i had no right winning this one

but i am seeing a pattern here

get divine dash = win easy

i remember getting this one hammer upgrade where keeping money gets you a lot of damage but i can't get it again

keep saving it but don't get anything

[split shuttle]

first ever victory

[violet bloom]

best shield

[tawdry root]

that's because it's only a hammer for swords. it's not a very good one anyway. it's a cool trick but in the end you want to spend your money, so it shouldn't help you very much. nice clear tho!

[tawdry root]

lv. 1 zag shield. nice

[heavy solar]

Hoarding slash is also garbage because its wonky

[tawdry root]

how is it wonky

it works as intended

[heavy solar]

Idk

I can’t remember if it adds additive damage or base damage that doesn’t scale

[tawdry root]

it's just + flat damage after all calculations are already made i think. or something

[heavy solar]

Yeah

I think

Which is

Sad

but not after all calculations, it still crits iirc

[split shuttle]

2 times in a row

[split shuttle]

i forgot since this is the boasting channel, I first tried hades

[hollow jacinth]

Corngrats

[split shuttle]

Corngrats indeed

[hard stream]

I finally did it!

[violet bloom]

nice

repulse triple kinda sad tho

very nice pact

[hard stream]

yeah repulse was super meh

[vivid sedge]

repulse triple is very sad indeed

ggs on the clear

[hard stream]

I'm impressed you can recognize repulse

those icons are so small

[violet bloom]

hundreds of hours in hades does something to you

[vivid sedge]

meh, not that small

and each hammer is pretty distinct

[hard stream]

I think the multiple slows on hades made a big difference

much easier to dodge attacks and get close to triple

and being able to stand behind a pillar and deflect the special during beams

[tawdry root]

RAMA 32 YEAAAAAH

nice job

[muted pine]

Ayyyy

[tawdry root]

yeah that's a good pact i ran em2 for my rama 32 cuz i was scared of big bull but i think yours is better

[muted pine]

As a fellow Rama lover I support it

[tawdry root]

rama gaaaaang

[heavy solar]

Almost bested my fastest fists time somehow

Didn’t expect that from talos

It turns out pulling enemies into your call is actually helpful

I literally just have beowulf, eris and demeter left

[tawdry root]

smair zeus w/ talos?? that's pretty nice ngl

[heavy solar]

Shackle eris down

I almost beat my own record time wow

I did not expect this run to go this well

I face tanked a bunch of damage at the end to win faster

[versed crane]

is that seeking fire

[heavy solar]

I had cluster bomb and targetting system

[heavy solar]

Shackle beo gaming

what’s a cast?

[bold jolt]

Castless gaming

[heavy solar]

Only demeter left

[bold jolt]

Doesn't sound too bad tbh

[heavy solar]

Yup

Ohh

Poseidon start

[tawdry root]

behold, hera 40 with ap1 gaming. thanks for the hammers, daedalus.

[supple elbow]

Daedalus likes a good laugh

gj!

[near hawk]

alright I take it back

Crystal Clarity is fun lol

[supple elbow]

I have to try that

[near hawk]

It's a very dedicated build

I had to build into it and it has very low chance of spawning as you want it to

What you want is Crystal Clarity firs of all so you need to have Demeter Keepsake in Tartarus and Artemis Keepsake in Asphodel. If she spawns in Tartarus, great still put the keepsake because you want her level 2 boons

I am using Achilles Spear because it means I can zip around the place and get a damage boost off the cast

[bold jolt]

Absolute gamer

When 50

[tawdry root]

🔜

need to practice a lot first

[kindred flare]

to this incredible victory I raise to you my first 16 heat run hehehe

[kindred flare]

SHEEEEEEESH

[lunar peak]

This has been Fr one of my best builds so far. I Oneshoted most of the enemies with my special attack 🗿

[rain ruin]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/787779451865399368/1009060174390104165/unknown.png

gud build

[marble sky]

yo just did a no damage hades fight (used acorn though)

I even had em3... which was a bad idea, But I was just doing a heat run so that I could get some titan blood and ambrosia

[marble sky]

yeah this was a horrible run

[lunar peak]

Few of my first wins

[vivid sedge]

yoooooooo

see what happens when you dont take cp?

your 32 heat pact was honestly almost harder than a 40 heat pact lol

[left ridge]

First time using merciful end and got a new personal best with the bow, hera is always fun

[paper oxide]

just another splash dash run that never found sea storm

[autumn bronze]

SUB 10

barely

[primal crown]

Gaming

[autumn bronze]

extremely so

[heavy solar]

I guess it’s only fitting the last aspect shackle run would break my PR

With demeter done the only thing I have left to do is the 32 heat shackle run

[tawdry root]

hehe

[neat drum]

just barely wtf

[paper oxide]

MEris Rocket

oh with epic swift flourish

very disappointed targetting system wasn't cluster bomb

[primal crown]

Nice

[versed crane]

Common doom

[bold jolt]

it do be like that sometimes

[paper oxide]

every ME run. every time ever.

i even rerolled

my kingdom for an ME run that starts with an epic doom

[violet bloom]

MEris best eris

[paper oxide]

i was basically just mashing buttons at the end because i couldn't decide between dashing and just alternating between attack and rock

i know there's probably some optimal window here where it's like attack => rocket => attack => dash => attack => rocket

[hollow jacinth]

finally

didnt even need patty

[violet bloom]

Poggie

[hollow jacinth]

wooooah

we're halfway there

[violet bloom]

wait parting shot wouldve been massive here

sadge

[primal crown]

Gaming

[west lance]

32 heat spear accomplished

[primal crown]

Ez

[bold jolt]

Gaming

[subtle adder]

That’s every aspect done at 50 Heat

[heavy solar]

Gaming

Nice dedge

[versed crane]

now do all aspects 64 👍

[versed crane]

dedge arthur lowkey better at 50 than attack combo

[heavy solar]

dedge arthur is 50*2 base damage dash strike right

I think that’s better than attack combo

since dash strike twice faster than full combo I think

So yes I agree dedge on arthur good

[tawdry root]

i'll never be as good as this guy i have to commit seppuku

bro had two (2) athena dds

[subtle adder]

If I had lost that one I might have cried a little

[vivid sedge]

lol couldve done em4 and still won

you had 3 health bars to go

[paper oxide]

19 minutes huh

i actually ran out of time against the champs

[bold jolt]

i mean having tempest strike kinda hurts a lot in normal rooms that isn't styx lol

[paper oxide]

i fully admit i am heinous at zeus shield and have no idea what i'm doing ever

[bold jolt]

that's also probably a factor lol

[paper oxide]

i didn't think i was actually using my attack much

[bold jolt]

well idk how to use zeus shield either so idk if that's a good or bad thing lmao

[vivid sedge]

well normally you should use attack lmao

but maybe not when you have tempest strike

never take tempest strike

[paper oxide]

sorry i don't mean i didn't use it this run i'm saying i didn't think i was supposed to so i took tempest strike just to fill up a requirement

[vivid sedge]

no youre supposed to use attack

the point of zeus shield is that you can use your attack and special at the same time

[paper oxide]

i usually find that if i do that i just shove them out of the special

[versed crane]

Said literally everyone ever

[vivid sedge]

happens with cshot a decent amount which is why its not better than ER but cshot is big damage anyway so its still good

[versed crane]

Cshot is just that op tbh

[paper oxide]

run probably would have gone better if i found jolt at any point that wasn't the last room before hades XD

[versed crane]

Second wave not be the worst thing ever challenge

[paper oxide]

if i had sea storm and second wave it would have been as good as if i just had jolt

[bold jolt]

pride and legacy are a scam; purged mirage shot earlier as well

[tawdry root]

see your mistake is that you didn't just get the boons

nice job tho epic dedge + heart rend

[versed crane]

Lvl10

[neat kraken]

20 minute, surprised myself there.

[tawdry root]

the stacks

nice boons

[neat kraken]

Every like 3rd hit was a crit so it stacked very well when it came to boss fights

One of my fav builds so far.

[tawdry root]

critical hits my beloved

[bold jolt]

common aphro moment

hestia moment

could've gotten clockets but i never found a good special boon so i picked up piercing shot lmao

[versed crane]

No hunter dash

[bold jolt]

divine dash better

idk man as

[neat kraken]

Divine dash is just too good to pass on

[deft oak]

second win

[kindred flare]

Yayy keep going!

almost broke pb but still good twin fists run

[tawdry root]

very nice

[spring ingot]

finally beat 32 heat

[hollow jacinth]

Nice

[left ridge]

First time trying em4, my hands are shaking

[marble sky]

pretty decent run, really annoying that I didnt get more casts from chaos

[vivid sedge]

nice lvl 3 epic aphro attack

[lunar peak]

Lvl 8. that’s cool 🗿

[subtle adder]

With a base-level Demeter aspect no less. Nice job.

[heavy solar]

Level 8 trippy flare nice 484 base damage cast

[hollow jacinth]

The bug only applies to beo

[heavy solar]

Thought it just applied to trippy flare

Wait Trippy Flare(Beowulf only)

[lunar peak]

Not my best run but had a pretty cool build.

[heavy solar]

Serrated point gaming

Damn 3 hermes and no rush delivery? That’s sad

Flurry serrated

[paper oxide]

this gy went better

[primal crown]

Lvl 7 jolted pog

[paper oxide]

many poms much wow

[heavy solar]

Nice

That looks like a fun run

[paper oxide]

no complaints other than zero duos even though i qualified since tart XD

[heavy solar]

Why arte attack 🤔

it’s not like on guan-yu you’re spinning often enough for it to matter

Especially without quick spin

[paper oxide]

i was special => dash striking a lot

kinda hoping for heart rend

plus then there's the potential for rod gaming

[heavy solar]

R O D

makes sense

Plus splitting headache would be neat if you also rolled into low tolerance

[paper oxide]

ah the ol' splitting headache + low tolerence + smair combo

[paper oxide]

what attack would you have gone with

[heavy solar]

Arte attack ain’t bad here

Just was wondering why it had been chosen because I forgot rod and splitting headache exist

[paper oxide]

i'm just curious what another good option would be

athena maybe?

[heavy solar]

I think athena just opens a bunch of unnecesary duos here

[marble sky]

Who ghost pinged me?

[heavy solar]

A magician

Idk

[paper oxide]

blessed run. also dash still did the most damage

i justl ike starting sword runs with poseidon now. i don't really care what else i'm doing i just want tidal dash and the hopes of finding sea storm

[primal crown]

Wet nem gaming

[paper oxide]

less than a minute dad fight. lvl 7 drunken strike and dash is still top damage. rare greatest reflex too. Tidal Dash is hands down the most powerful boon. What does it actually lose to?

[vivid sedge]

flood flare

[paper oxide]

Fair but I guess I meant not beo. Since I'm basically contending that for most weapons and aspects it's the best.

[full aurora]

Big 40 finally achieved with cheese

And in addition, love how I pricked myself to death to celebrate~

[vivid sedge]

is that achilles? nice job

[hazy fossil]

Could be better time.
P.S. This is a save from speedrun.com

[rich fulcrum]

Sheesh could be a lot better

[hazy fossil]

that's a personal record, tbh

I am not that good at the game

playing nice and slow

y'know

[rich fulcrum]

My personal record is like 36 mins

Lol

🥲

[hazy fossil]

the run went all wrong, like the time was under 15, when I was in the end of Elysium

I couldn't find the damn satyr bag for Cerberus

Like, I needed to search through almost all of the rooms

[paper oxide]

speedrun mod has satyr sack control. i'm good with it taking 2 rooms every time. styx isn't fun or challenging lol

[hazy fossil]

yes, but took loads of time

[paper oxide]

yes, that's why i'm suggesting the speedrun mod

[bold jolt]

boss rooms in styx are faster than normal rooms

also lowkey easier

[paper oxide]

so you can just do it in two chambers instead of all of them. i felt like every run i did before it was 4-5 chambers in styx

really annoying

[summer trail]

specials were mostly useless in this build

[paper oxide]

holy 4 heroics

[vivid sedge]

yeah bow special sucks

[paper oxide]

woooo splash dash

[hazy fossil]

tried to build flood Nem

Artemis wasn't appearing

[paper oxide]

i know people like arty nemesis, but i'm totally happy with aphro attack/poseidon something/tidal dash, zeus call and just try to get smair or sea storm

most of hte damage is going to be from dashing anyway XD

[hazy fossil]

i needed that damn marking boon, but got the chance for crits in general instead

[paper oxide]

i just realized were you running FO2?

jesus

[hazy fossil]

pardon?

[paper oxide]

forced overtime 2

[versed crane]

Speedrun pact

[violet bloom]

typical speedrun pacts also use hl5 lc4

[tawdry root]

true

[summer trail]

rare crop

[paper oxide]

oh right

[heavy solar]

Rare crop hit all the wrong boons other then heartbreak strike

[paper oxide]

it's 17 minutes and 9 heat though. if it's a speedrun wouldn't tight deadline be much more free?

[versed crane]

Fo2 makes enemies spawn faster

[versed crane]

And if you get used to it it's basically free heat

[summer trail]

mirage shot duo with true shot damage like crazy

[versed crane]

fated authority 🔥

Bruh olympian favor

[summer trail]

don't tell anyone i used cheats to get the mirror upgrades

[limber moon]

first sub 10

got barge too

[bold jolt]

if you're playing modded cant you turn off the barge lol

but nice time

[limber moon]

yes i know i can

[versed crane]

Yes you can

[limber moon]

i had vanilla minibosses on so i could get hidden aspect

[bold jolt]

oh fair enough

[limber moon]

LOL

barge ruined sub 9

[vivid sedge]

turn off barge

[limber moon]

i know

[vivid sedge]

rip for no rd though

[rich fulcrum]

Just had a very nice pb of 30 mins lol. I can't take a pic bc my phones camera is rly bad

Decent slicing shot build with a bit of Demeter on the side

And a few miscellaneous ig

[bold jolt]

i love it when i get offered common doom at the start of the run and never see a single ares boon afterwards

at least it's ME gaming

but boy do i love procing doom for less than 200 damage

32 heat gaming on all weapons done tho

[grim peak]

you had RD

cheat engine

[vivid sedge]

fresh file when

[bold jolt]

never

[grim peak]

have people roughly correlated the difficulty of fresh file to heat

ik it's not perfect since sword sweats would find fresh file easier

[vivid sedge]

imo its probably like 45ish

[grim peak]

huh

so I should grind it

[vivid sedge]

maybe a little bit lower

but all of the difficulty comes from the dad fight

everything up to that point is like lower than 32

champs maybe at 32

those are about what id say

its easy once you get the hang of fo0 timings and mono dash

a good build can also totally carry you

more than in high heat tbh

[grim peak]

but you have to use sword

[vivid sedge]

yeah but the difference between like 350 doom procs and 180 hp vs 250 and 120 is massive

whereas the difference between like 400 and 600 damage casts is big but not that big (for high heat)

[grim peak]

but you have to use sword
