[timid saddle]

god mode is mid

[lime bane]

No shame in using god mode.

[lyric walrus]

what is god mode?

[strong ravine]

give you DR based on number of deaths

[hard epoch]

yeah but i was using it to learn the game, and now i feel confident enough to not use it

[hardy moss]

I just died a bunch of times to learn the game

[timid saddle]

eris gone wrong ❗

player is bad ❗

[hollow jacinth]

elysium

[bold jolt]

elysium

[lyric walrus]

hazard bomb my beloved

[hardy moss]

first perfect clear

[opaque pewter]

It's not really boasting but I'm just happy to have my first win

[stable needle]

virgin dio with 3% damage bonus from fountain vs chad bouldy with 6% global damage boost

[hallow shell]

Such a scuffed run 💀

[strong ravine]

shadow slash doesn't work lol

[hallow shell]

Not my fault

Anvil of fates

[lyric walrus]

got a new pb for heat:D

[bold jolt]

2:20/4:15/5:5x/6:3x/7:08 lmao

i love bad tart

also darkness fun

ely was like combat (bought ixion) -> patty -> midshop -> midshop -> combat -> chaos -> fountain -> menu than

[granite basalt]

i unlocked gilgamesh and thought sea storm would be pretty good with it, turns out it was

not nearly as good as other people here lmao

[lyric walrus]

there is always a bigger fish

[bold jolt]

Unless you're Vorime

[lyric walrus]

i have no clue who that is

[bold jolt]

Greatest hades player according to chatgpt

[lyric walrus]

could they beat goku tho?

[bold jolt]

Who knows

[lyric walrus]

only one way to find out

[lyric walrus]

i dont trust chatgpt it tried to gaslight me into thinking that en passant is a real chess move

[timid saddle]

it is bruh

[strong ravine]

no

fake

invented by fr*nch

[timid saddle]

💀

[limber fossil]

cast go brr

[austere plover]

I just made it to the credits!!

[plucky solstice]

I might be insane but I swear the images on discord look bigger than they used to

[hallow shell]

I got en passanted twice by a bot on chess.com lmfao

[hallow shell]

damn I forgot blown kiss was even a thing

[lyric walrus]

imagine letting a bot cheat at chess

as if they werent op enough already

[hardy moss]

nuts rng

all that run is missing is billowing strength, zeus call and smouldering air

[crimson crater]

thanks to @rain ruin for suggesting me some changes & suggestions 😄 1st ever defeating Hades(without using God mode)

with all the boons and buffs

[hardy moss]

Yeah Rama Zeus is great

[thin coral]

Thank you for showing me how broken it is ☺️

Presses Max Hades Call
Holds Q
Deletes Hades

[lyric walrus]

Finally beat 32 heat:D

[lyric walrus]

I really should have stuck with my original strategy of increasing heat 1 at a time.

[left ridge]

The meme beam carried me

[lyric walrus]

I am on a roll rn 34 heat boonless mirrorless

[left ridge]

New shield pb

[hallow shell]

GAS GAS GAS

Technically I finished with 27.6% on the plume cause of the fight

[lyric walrus]

Ladies and gentlemen i would like to present boonless mirrorless on 37 heat

[strong ravine]

lol cracked run

[open kindle]

oh i can share pics here okay. all done!

[timid saddle]

vengeful eris moment

[real canopy]

Dash only run, everything else unbound

[strong ravine]

js3???

[real canopy]

Didn't really make a difference with all of the splash happening lol

I like it because you get more money

[bold jolt]

That's a fat dash only build

Only missing sea storm

[real canopy]

I know! I was all set up for it too! Double Strike and Static Discharge!

Wanted to try it again on higher heat; next run Poseidon won't give me dash, even with 2 re-rolls

[bold jolt]

bruh

if i did literally anything marginally faster it would've been a sub7

also got darknessed

[strong ravine]

the 3 bloodstones in question:

[bold jolt]

i mean it was still sub7-able

had good skips and rooms

if i had another cast instead of the dash strike bonus then it would've been a pb probably but oh well

[bold jolt]

sub7 with 3 stones lmao

also got mirage in ely mishop random boon which was kinda unfortunate

[strong ravine]

real trolling

[neat kraken]

No damage taken against [redacted] just endless damage.

[lethal thunder]

Really proud of this run, it’s the closest I’ve been to a sub-20min run

[worn rune]

25 heat clear!

Im slowly working towards 32 heat

[hardy moss]

demeter's not actually as bad as I thought she was

[worn rune]

She's fun every once in a while, not one of my favriotes but still fun

[hardy moss]

the rng on this run

5 duo boons

[opaque pewter]

Got my second win

[distant island]

New speed record! With the Fists no less, one of my least favorite weapons.

[queen idol]

Fists
Get
Results

I’ve been saying this

[distant island]

This run did not start out strong. I lost a DD to Tisiphone.

[timid saddle]

losing dd’s is not the end of world

[left ridge]

New personal best
This run was supposed to be only messing around with dodge chance but it's stronger than I thought it would be
I'm a bit sad that I didn't get sub10 but I know some bits where I can improve

And best fishy right after

[bold jolt]

very cool elysium

may or may not have screwed up 4 witch meg

[strong ravine]

therefore 3 witch meg

[bold jolt]

No I think it was a 1 witch meg

[thin coral]

20 heat Bow done

Really liking Zeus Special Rama

[bold jolt]

I do love delta chamber bow

[timid saddle]

was doing prophecy

[quiet atlas]

missing sea storm to hit even harder but first time it was not the special that did the most dmg

[bold jolt]

you can't get sea storm if you only have tidal dash btw

[plucky solstice]

whaaat why

[bold jolt]

too easy to get for how much free value it gives

[thin coral]

Yeah for Sea Storm you need any Poseidon Core Boon except Tidal Dash

[timid saddle]

did a hera

[limber fossil]

clockets go brr

[lethal thunder]

My first ever sub-20min

[bold jolt]

using greater reflex instead of ruthless reflex would give you a better time

[lime bane]

And High Confidence.

Congratulations, in any case!

[bold jolt]

win no mirage shot does to a mf

[strong ravine]

lmfao epic wave pounding

[bold jolt]

got exclusive access at end of tart lmao

[strong ravine]

is that nasty dash

[bold jolt]

i thought it was gonna be a good run because hey guaranteed epics from everything but i only saw artemis once

enshrouded didnt help

[bold jolt]

yes

[strong ravine]

why did you take enshrouded strike

[bold jolt]

idk lmao

[strong ravine]

isn't strike like

5% of your damage

[bold jolt]

i think the other options were roiling and something else

[bold jolt]

160 with a crit?

[strong ravine]

160 15% of the time

lmfao

[bold jolt]

a loaded cshot is as much as a cast, tech more because of arty % bonus

for my situation anyways

[strong ravine]

addled would have been better than enshrouded

[bold jolt]

maimed, halting, or enshrouded

should've taken maimed, but eh

i didn't really care about the run

[strong ravine]

yeah

silly goose

[bold jolt]

tbf my first sub 7 took an enshrouded at the start of ely and got every free room

so i thought might as well

patty -> midshop -> miniboss -> fountain -> than or some order of that

it was incredibly stupid

was hoping for the same luck but was unfortunate lmao

[heavy solar]

I was 100% sure I’d get disciple of aphrodite bruh

Guess I still have more runs to do for monthly challenge then

Running authority to almost guarantee aphrodite in pool early

Genuinely didn’t know fisher king was an end run message 💀

@bold jolt

[bold jolt]

This is why we dont fish

[hollow jacinth]

It’s more than you’d think, I’ve had sub 40 dad fights with no cast scaling except mirage shot purely because of attack jerkies lol

[quiet atlas]

chillin with 3 legendaries

[left ridge]

Had a slow start but ended up with a ridiculously strong build
And I forgot to include Scintillating Feast in the screenshots

[hollow jacinth]

No plume :(

[left ridge]

Why I am beating my shield PB with Zagreus aspect is a mystery to be solved next time I play Beowulf

[hollow jacinth]

The answer is flat damage soup

[thin coral]

Not having a good time, safe to say

I could have put Arctic Blast instead of Snow Burst for more damage

[lyric walrus]

first try:D

[primal crown]

Need snow burst or other dem core to open artic blast anyways, cast/glaciar glare dont open it

[thin coral]

Snow Burst's there! Just didn't encounter enough Demeter Boons

[bold jolt]

Jesus christ lmao

[empty herald]

why is it named flood shot in my version?

[bold jolt]

flood flare is exclusive to beowulf

beowulf changes how casts work basically; instead of shooting out in front of you it kinda explodes around you

[empty herald]

i dont have shield hidden aspect yet

so i didnt know

[timid saddle]

new pb!

[vagrant inlet]

First sub 10 run. I didn't expect that.

I could have done better this run but I will take it.

[left ridge]

First time using Chaos and I have to admit that it's probably one of my least favourite aspects

[strong ravine]

it's utter garbage lmfao

like it's a shield so you can do whatever with it

but it's literally unaspected

[bold jolt]

i mean the build was all over the place tbf, i dont really think it's completely a chaos shield problem lol

[strong ravine]

lightning phalanx mirage shot 💀

[worn rune]

I think he likes the shield

[bold jolt]

what speedrunning does to a mf

[main pivot]

at high heat maybe but sub 50 that's very cap

[cosmic grotto]

I started playing Hades in the back half of 2022 so I'm only doing the 2023 monthlies lol. I tried way too hard for the extra challenge (5,220 obols) so I just stuck with 3,142 obols

[strong ravine]

lol

[lunar yew]

my first sub 10! (after many, many attempts)

[hollow jacinth]

very sub of 10

nice build!

[lunar yew]

thanks! the rng was uh, well, clockets....

[austere plover]

Wow

[stray tundra]

my first win

[obtuse steeple]

1 hp and 20 secs left on tight deadline 💀 freaked out when it said 30 secs left

idek how the health is an odd number….

[final abyss]

FINALLY got my 32 heat clear thanks to grandma!

[bold jolt]

oh god that time lmfao

[strong ravine]

omg

ri1 ap1 dc2 hestia 32

cp1 js2

no fo

i honestly didn't think it was even possible to take that many pacts at 32

the dc2 is crazy though

battle rage based though

[bold jolt]

battle rage is like

never used because of dc lmao

unless you dash through an enemy twice and then smack them with the shot

or cast i guess

[strong ravine]

oh yeah

dc on hestia is insane

[silent oracle]

first sub-10 and feeling super proud of it!

[strong ravine]

this is impressive because this has to be all mechanical skill given this build

scintillating feast

no flourish on dem????

ddash

[lunar yew]

Let's gooo

[idle hare]

hunting blades build

hunting blades kinda op

[lyric walrus]

Boonless mirrorless seeded 39 heat run

pretty proud of the hitless hades fight i got

[quick jasper]

My first win babyyyyy

50+ tries later, and too many when I was so close

[primal crown]

Juicy hangover

[quick jasper]

juicy hangover.

God even thinking about it now, I was one spin away from losing again

[strong ravine]

this is why we dont use sd

[bold jolt]

43 second dad fight with 2 darkness, super messy

pain

this should've been a pb

c8 mirage shot too

[hallow shell]

First EM4 Victory

Disclaimer: I didn't pick Heavy Knuckle on purpose, I took an anvil cause my only hammer was long knuckle and I needed something for the special

Got heavy and explosive

[bold jolt]

Long knuckle is actually pretty important for em4 lol

You don't really need a hammer for your special even tho it's Demeter

[strong ravine]

isnt it more important for high heat em4

or is it just generally em4

[bold jolt]

In general imo because em4 is just incredibly anti melee

[strong ravine]

yeah fists would have been like my 6th choice for first em4

also dark regen olympian favor pstatus golden touch

[hallow shell]

I didn't have high expectations

I was just lucky to get explosive upper I think

Really carried with the priv status too

[lyric walrus]

boonless mirrorless 40 heat 😄

[strong ravine]

study

[lyric walrus]

its late at night

but i appreceate the reminder

[primal crown]

nectar carry

[lyric walrus]

couldn't have done it without nectar ong

[strong ravine]

got stuffed in so many ways i'm shocked it's sub10

[primal crown]

hestia is bestia

[strong ravine]

crazy rng

did the entirety of aspho nohit because maimed lmfao

[bold jolt]

based time

[vagrant inlet]

Finally got my first 32 heat win. It was a nail biter against dad fight. I was comfortable enough with Hera bow to go for it. My best heat run was 22 before that and I'm proud of myself for going for it.

[wary kite]

not amazing but my first ever victory :D

[strong ravine]

LMFAO

NEW PB

AWFUL RNG

2nd targeting

no HD

[bold jolt]

lmao gaming

prob good room rng but mediocre boon rng

dashes from hermes is still really solid tho

[strong ravine]

yeah i got a lot of free rooms

enshrouded in ely dumped me into patty lmfao

[bold jolt]

based enshrouded

enshrouded is free

[strong ravine]

so trie

i was actually scared

i thought i might get enshrouded into styx

but it died during transition

[mossy gale]

cool fight

[lyric walrus]

My last boonless mirrorless run:(

[strong ravine]

study

[lyric walrus]

i intend to which is why that is my last run

[strong ravine]

oh

yeah

[lyric walrus]

lmao

[bold jolt]

A clean victory screen for the last one too nice

[bold jolt]

decent run

no rd, hyper sprint as final styx boon lol

[strong ravine]

lmfao

[bold jolt]

Bruh you're getting whole minute pbs

[strong ravine]

yeah i mean

it's like

early days

this is like my 25th speedrun lmfao

once i actually get decent times the progress will slow

[bold jolt]

It took me weeks to get a sub8 lmao

[strong ravine]

beo issue

[bold jolt]

I mean it took me a week to get an 8:30 on hestia lmao

[strong ravine]

idk

[bold jolt]

More like 5 tries

[strong ravine]

i guess i started later

[bold jolt]

Maybe boonless mirrorless helped with practice lmao

[strong ravine]

i did 50 heat and boonless mirrorless before my first run

which was like a 10:30 lmfao

what's your pb

[bold jolt]

6:47

[strong ravine]

oh

shouldnt you like

new save

[bold jolt]

I'm pretty sure it gets slow at like a couple thousand attempts lol

[strong ravine]

oh lmao

[bold jolt]

Might be dependent on the device as well idk but it fine so far

Mostly

[round thorn]

it only took 200 hours and 192 runs! Gods I love this game so much. Gonna try for resource director from now <3

[dull trench]

congrats!!

[strong ravine]

new pb

[primal crown]

mirage shot carry

[minor void]

broken ass build even my dumbass could win with it

[strong ravine]

high confidence????

[minor void]

wdym high confidence

[plucky solstice]

mirror

[minor void]

oh

is that bad

[plucky solstice]

you can get +50 hp but you didn't

[minor void]

oh

[strong ravine]

high confidence is for speedruns lmao

[minor void]

oh wow didnt see that

just swapped

[plucky solstice]

I have a friend who beat hades multiple times before knowing you could use keys on the mirror tbf

[strong ravine]

megabased

[minor void]

whats the point of the door and 6 statues

both locked doors and 6 staatues

[plucky solstice]

statues don't do anything (assuming you mean like the vase etc) but you know the door saying it's locked means you'll be able to get in there eventually

[minor void]

damn, those statues do look meaningful tho

[lyric walrus]

50 heat boonless mirrorless?

[strong ravine]

you're missing an and

[lyric walrus]

Oh:(

[strong ravine]

lol

i wish

[lyric walrus]

I really want to see a 50 heat boonless mirrorless run but i cant do it

[worn rune]

I've gotten all trophys

Now all I got to do is 100% everything in game

[torpid pivot]

Did not expect to get it that fast

[strong ravine]

did u troll for anvil or mad lucky

[torpid pivot]

Traded conc for long (was expecting it for safety), odds were decent and keeping either breaching or conc was fine for me

[left ridge]

Finally got all weapons sub12

[bold jolt]

eris the castpect

[lyric walrus]

big gaming

can we expect a video at any point?

[primal crown]

Angel gaming again?

[bold jolt]

big gaming

[ebon berry]

i was really bored

[lyric walrus]

the biggest of gaming

[strong ravine]

ap1

[ebon berry]

i remember trying this like eons ago

but only getting to aspho and being frustrated

[lyric walrus]

cant wait for the 64 heat boonless mirrorless run

[bold jolt]

there was a 60-something boonless mirrorless iirc

but used a chaos boon or something

[lyric walrus]

oh that is deeply depressing

[strong ravine]

modded?

[ebon berry]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/787779476888354816/1075804146294337666/image.png

this is the one

not mirrorless tho

[strong ravine]

also ap2

[lyric walrus]

this is so sad

[ebon berry]

slot machine basically

[bold jolt]

oh lmao

[strong ravine]

the lc4 and ap2 are 9 heat though

[lyric walrus]

also whats up with the aspect of zeus? i keep seeing it being used in high heat but every time i have tried it it has felt horrible

[strong ravine]

it does the things

is that premium kiss of styx

or touch or whatevre

[bold jolt]

touch of styx dark if it's from patty

touch of styx if it's a well

[strong ravine]

yeah

is it the dark version

oh

icons not different

[primal crown]

oops

[lyric walrus]

i know im supposed to know this but does ap change the status of that run in a meaningful way?

[bold jolt]

2/3 boon options can suck

esp if it's boonless

[lyric walrus]

but that is still boonless mirrorless right?

[bold jolt]

yeah

approval process

[strong ravine]

it's not valid for lb unmodded

[lyric walrus]

oh

is there still a place i can see the run?

[strong ravine]

?

[lyric walrus]

i really want to see the 50 heat boonless mirrorless run (if a recording of it exists) but since its not valid for the lb where most of these types of videos go i was hoping there would be a link to it somewhere else

[strong ravine]

that's modded as well

idk

maybe on youtube

[lyric walrus]

did you happen to record the run and if you did do you have a link?

[ebon berry]

I was literally just reading about it in the speed discord and wanted to try it out, so no

[lyric walrus]

;-;

[ebon berry]

:/

[glad cipher]

YOOOOOOOOOOOO

[strong ravine]

22 22 22 22 34 22

[glad cipher]

sorry, had to post somewhere

XD

[lyric walrus]

if at any point you happen to do a second 50 heat boonless mirrorless run i would love to see a recording of how you did it

[glad cipher]

yep, I went progressively higher with all weapons from 0 to 20 and then jumped to 32. Except with fists because they're my favorite, so I used them to farm achievements at low heat

[main pivot]

damn did the game force crush shot down ur throat in styx? annoying af

[bold jolt]

took chaos extension at c34, was worth it so i can actually instaphase dad because i got an extra cast lmao

also left tart with mirage and marked lol

[minor void]

has anyone beat the game on the hardest possible difficulty

like give them every handicap u can think of

max heat no boons mirrorless etc.

[strong ravine]

no

[minor void]

ok im gonna do it brb

ok i just did it in world record time but my recording software bugged out :(

its ok tho I promise

[strong ravine]

well

it's a new pb

can't say i'm happy about it

[quick jasper]

First win, 100%, did not lose my actual first win to a file corruption.
At least I'm back to where I was.

[cunning loom]

with zeus you just keep stacking zeus boons

[lime bane]

Nice! Is the modded leaderboard getting challenge categories now?

[main pivot]

rama w a special focused build is PAIN

no splitting bolt either 😭

[cunning loom]

I took chance for epic boons over chance for legendaries to really help with tartarus and asphodel

[hollow jacinth]

Arty clockets would have done it

Ggs tho

[torpid pivot]

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1746613565

[torpid pivot]

I wish, maybe we should arrange something with atticor

[lime bane]

Just talk to atticor and RidiculousHat, yes.

[quiet atlas]

first sub 10

[strong ravine]

rip triple

[quiet atlas]

ill take triple bomb

[glad cipher]

gg. well, at least yours was an unlucky circumstance. I actually lost my first ever win with the fists by closing the game on the victory screen without saving XD

[quick jasper]

XD, never happened to me on this thanks to autosave, but it has happened one too many times in other games

I feel your pain man

[glad cipher]

lol, I felt so dumb

[main pivot]

p sure my eris sub 10 was triple rockets, at least i got rocket tho

[strong ravine]

first hera 32

[primal crown]

Bad zagbow gaming

[strong ravine]

mirrorless ez when boon

[main pivot]

boonless cast 😭

[wild jay]

this build actually skips phases dude

[rain ruin]

average explosive enjoyer

[bold jolt]

based explosive shot

[glad cipher]

slowly getting 40 with all weapons. still improving

[limber fossil]

My first 32 heat!

Pact inspired by QB smash

[sullen hornet]

My boast is this much max hp that I didn't even use lmao

[strong ravine]

nice

[sullen hornet]

To think, if I had base 100 hp, never gained any more, no defiance, I would still have won (but 1hp left lmao)

[timid saddle]

ME is cracked

dont pay attention to rare gilga

[bold jolt]

what happened to your doom poms lmfao

[strong ravine]

lv6 flourish:

[timid saddle]

pov u upgrade special in tart:

[timid saddle]

i didnt even use it 💀

[limber fossil]

ridiculous dps hunting blades run

[strong ravine]

:)

[bold jolt]

ayo almost there

[strong ravine]

whhy dodes inttadarknes sexist

[bold jolt]

do you meg immediately

[strong ravine]

what do you even do

[strong ravine]

yeah

[bold jolt]

oh then rip

[strong ravine]

would have been sub7

[bold jolt]

it do be like that

[lyric walrus]

how on earth do you go that fast?

[left ridge]

I'm surprised I managed to get sub12 despite not getting hunting blades at all

[eternal crescent]

decided to bump up the heat going forward. still need to work on the clear time however.

[left ridge]

New rail PB It's only my second time ever getting clockets but it's very strong

[slender flicker]

first 16 heat run

[indigo otter]

lol, I was just typing: Finally got that 16 heat clear 🥳 and my streak at the moment just won't stop :D

congrats on yours!

[slender flicker]

ayy congrats on yours as well

[indigo otter]

oh, that's the wrong pic xD

That's the one xD

[indigo otter]

thaaanks

[real nova]

I beat extreme measures 4
It reminded me of the first time I vs'd him

very fun without any other heat tho

[sullen hornet]

first 2 in a row! Im getting better at dodging Hades' lasers. Skelly tanked the first laser for me. Taking only 1 laser hit and then being immune for 1.5s also saves me

[bold jolt]

A lot of practice, a bit of luck, and a chunk of resets

I reckon you can also get a pretty good time considering how much boonless mirrorless you've done

[left ridge]

32 heat rama

[flint bridge]

biggest victory ong

[strong ravine]

not fast enough clearly

[lyric walrus]

that's already too fast

[lime bane]

She didn't go faster, she just simply took a shorter route.

[timid saddle]

nice hera

[lime bane]

@strong ravine lol 2nd run in hypermodded easy sub 7.

[strong ravine]

154 attack 🤤

might just do that then

where did you install from

[lime bane]

Err... I'll DM you.

[lime bane]

Hypermewded nyaa.

[wary kite]

honestly surprisingly fun... and i keep forgetting i can use companions against the final boss now lmao

[strong ravine]

lmfao first hypermodded to aspho

rd styx

[bold jolt]

hypermodded moment

rip rd styx tho that was a ~2 min ely

really good styx-dad tho

[strong ravine]

the benefits of, for once, actually getting the god damn clockets

also i had blue arty special but got aph swap lmfao

[bold jolt]

3 jerkies and 2 chaos strikes def helped lmao

[strong ravine]

yeah

idek if that was from hypermodded

i was doing 1k per attack at dad tho

[bold jolt]

idk if hypermodded changes anything from wells, but im pretty sure it does remove roiling from chaos

idk about the actual chaos buffs tho

[strong ravine]

i checked code

seems to only be -roiling

[bold jolt]

yeah that's just good rng then lol

[strong ravine]

so not entirely invalid

98 attack def nice tho

although it just gives you the 2nd god

[bold jolt]

it's invalid because it's not leaderboard legal yet
yeah technically speaking with enough resets you would've gotten it lol

[strong ravine]

invalid as in as an achievement lol

[bold jolt]

oh yeah fair enough

again, it's just the amount of resets needed lol

[strong ravine]

like when i caved on that 50 heat run lmfao

[bold jolt]

cringe hera run

added kinda pain

[strong ravine]

im ngl this is THE most scuffed run i've ever done

[strong ravine]

do true shot

[bold jolt]

no

[strong ravine]

why

simply go for deadly reversal until you realise it doesnt do anything

and then have hypermodded make your eternal rose not work by forcing you into demeter

and lose 2 dds from addled

[unreal pier]

new heat pb !!

[strong ravine]

cursed ap2

[lyric walrus]

you should add RI4 next

[lime bane]

Hypermewded nyooming.

[lime bane]

GGs!

[foggy halo]

If I got snow burst earlier it might have been a sub-10 but I'm still happy with this new PB
(This is also the run that got me enough darkness to max out my mirror)

[foggy halo]

Why don't you have the Unseen One rank?

Do you not have enough resources or do you just not like it

[lime bane]

Oh, I didn't even notice on that profile. The game starts to lag at certain points when you have thousands of runs on a profile, so speedrun.com has a maxed save file with all of the run history wiped that you can download. So that's that one.

My main profile has Unseen One rank.

[foggy halo]

How long did it take to get

[lime bane]

No idea tbh.

[left ridge]

That was a fun run, I don't have a lot of Hestia runs but it's my best so far

[left ridge]

32 heat zag bow

[hollow jacinth]

Aspect of hunting blades

[quaint wren]

this was a fun build

[lime bane]

Hypermewded hypernyooming.

[left ridge]

New personal best and first sub10

[strong ravine]

where was the dio core lmfao

special?

[left ridge]

Yeah, I sold it at Styx for a well item

[strong ravine]

also why athena atk

did artemis troll u

[left ridge]

I got artemis after athena

[strong ravine]

oh well i thought you wanted arty atk

idk tho i dont play beo

[bold jolt]

Yeah because it opens up mirage immediately and the crits are nice

Technically not necessary, but if you have a different attack and any other arty core it opens up a duo

And you wanna keep call open for dad call ofc

[strong ravine]

oh yeah

[cosmic grotto]

Date with Meg, workin' on the other two later

[strong ravine]

purple delivery cskewer unmodded 🤤

[cosmic grotto]

only Hyper Sprint though, which worked against me a little bit

but it meant my casts and triple Dash Strike go pew (wish there was an attack I had really wanted, I tried too hard for Vengeful Mood haha)

[wooden river]

Guan Yu with Sea Storm (Tempest Strike, Thunder Flourish) is incredible. Throw in Divine Protection and EM4's a breeze. chef's kiss

[cosmic grotto]

jeeeeez

[strong ravine]

lmfao

lvl7 blue pos attack = lvl1 blue aph attack

[timid saddle]

guæn yoo

[lime bane]

More hypermewded hypernyooming.

[hallow shell]

Bouldy carry

[cosmic grotto]

Date with Than, might just knock out Dusa right quick while I'm here

[ocean scroll]

I should scale my cast damage

[cosmic grotto]

Date with Dusa, honorable mention to having plenty of Aphrodite boons but no Disciple of Aphrodite 😦 😦 😦

[strong ravine]

WHAAT IS THIS

I NEARLY GOT A GOD DAMN SUB 6

[jagged rose]

FINALLY BEAT 32 HEAT

[strong ravine]

em2 cp1 ri1 dc2

how did you manage to do anything with dc2 lmfao

[jagged rose]

Using regular shots and tidal dash to break the heart things then killing them like usual

[strong ravine]

that sucks to do on hestia

i guess it like technically works since no js

[jagged rose]

Yeah I didnt wanna deal with that at all

[strong ravine]

well

js would belike

infinitely easier

dc2 is a maaaaassive timesink

[jagged rose]

I didnt really mind it honestly

[strong ravine]

you lose out on a lot of breakpoints because of no fiery

[jagged rose]

I dont know break points on hestia regardless

[strong ravine]

hestia?

you:

1 hit armor

1 hit health

pretty simple

[jagged rose]

Oh I thought you were talking about like enemy specific breakpoints

[strong ravine]

oh well yeah

but like

for tart and aspho

you're 1 hitting enemies

with the help of fiery

[bold jolt]

Beo moment

[jagged rose]

Yeah. But hey it worked regardless so I really dont care

[strong ravine]

you should hypermodded

instant sub6

[bold jolt]

Yeah maybe but then I can't submit that

[strong ravine]

oh are you submitting

well 🙏 pray for lb legality

[bold jolt]

Yeah even tho it won't be like anywhere close to a top run I'd just like to have it up there

[strong ravine]

idek if i can switch back

i dont wanna reset for clocket delivery anymore......

[bold jolt]

I wouldn't be surprised if I got a sub6 within a few days of hypermodded

Lmao imagine needed 2 hammers on an aspect

This was made by the "I need a Duo by c4 or it's a dead run" gang

[strong ravine]

oh yeah i got mirage in like c8 lmfao

and i got i think 3 ixions

2 grasps and a shot

[bold jolt]

Oh the ixions aren't even from hypermodded that's just good rng

[strong ravine]

yeah ik

i got great chambers too

but i missed 3 volleys on dad

and got darknessed

[bold jolt]

Rip sub6

[mild plover]

Eventually I’ll beat Bophades without losing 300 thousand death defiances

[bold jolt]

this is what we in the industry like to call "idk how to use flurry shot on hera"

[strong ravine]

where atk

[bold jolt]

yes

[lime bane]

Beowulf moment.

[strong ravine]

[lime bane]

Hestia moment.

[hardy moss]

[left ridge]

32 heat Hades spear

Now I have 32 on each field

[hoary hatch]

69%, nice

[surreal pond]

im torn between running it back to see if I can do it again without highrolling

or never picking arthur again

[slender flicker]

first time actually playing sword

had some pretty bad rng but then i got smair, sea storm and zeus legendary in styx 💀

[bold jolt]

just get the boons

[thin coral]

Shoutout to Breaking Wave
Got to be one of my favourite genders

[slender flicker]

breaking wave actually feels so good ngl

especially in styx

[magic bane]

the perfect beowulf build

[hallow shell]

Is that Demeter call

I love that

[worn rune]

Yeah I like Posiden

[sullen hornet]

Attack = knock away = rupture + get struck by lightning = get jolted = 40% damage buff from 2 statuses from a single hit

[raven dirge]

Finally beat 16 heat!

[chilly lance]

the funny

[bold jolt]

yo heroic sure footing at 95% is so based

[chilly lance]

yeah fr fr i wouldntve won without it

[limber fossil]

lmao you're not making thing easy for yourself with your pact

[raven dirge]

HAHA, I like a challenge

[limber fossil]

haha fair enough

[limber fossil]

ME go brr

[strong ravine]

neMEsis

[bold jolt]

based neMesis

[thin coral]

This has to be one of the most anti-synergistic builds I've ever seen

[plucky solstice]

I mean, it seems passable apart from drunken strike arthur

[indigo otter]

Whoa, never actively seen that before, does perfect clear mean you never got hit or you never got hit during final boss?

(or something completely different?)

[slender flicker]

probably something else

you can see he has no death defiances so yk

[limber fossil]

I think it's full health after final boss

The wiki should have it somewhere

Definitely wasn't a no-hit run haha, I had acorn too

[raven dirge]

HAHA, fair tbh, I usually just grab what I think will work and then realize later on that it may not have been a good choice

[indigo otter]

Still super impressive!

[limber fossil]

ty haha, it's not too bad if you have good damage and acorn

[indigo otter]

acorn is best :D

[bold jolt]

epic rd but bad time 💪

[fleet depot]

finally after like 30 tries i finally did it

[vale heart]

Old but diet eris goes hard

[strong ravine]

why arty attqack

with no scaling

65 not real

[rain ruin]

It's 65 then like 30 30 and 50 from rd

More than enough

[strong ravine]

but why pick up

jerky ely

also grey unpommed come out to average 56

[vale heart]

I don't play Hestia

[strong ravine]

sell under 70

ish

[vale heart]

I play Nem Rama Beo Hera

[strong ravine]

idk if thats h unters mark

ok it is mark

fine then

[hallow shell]

only lvl2???

damn

[autumn bronze]

sd

[timid saddle]

went back to classic for em4 dad

was basically trying to complete orphy’s music list

[glad cipher]

nemesis done. Close call too! Shield and spear to go 🙂

[wooden river]

I know many folks have achieved this, but this is my first 32 heat clear and I couldn't be more excited. 🙂

[strong ravine]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/787779451865399368/1079994921081118850/image.png

this is what happens when you try no reset kids

[bold jolt]

are you doing 50 no resets lmao

[strong ravine]

yes

[bold jolt]

have fun with that lmao

[strong ravine]

they said id get better if i did it

i want my 552

thats my end goal time

only will tkaw a few…

thousand hours………

i can either put in 2k hours grinding mechanics or 2k hours for routed tier rng

[bold jolt]

yeah 50 straight of no resets would help, esp if you log the splits and other misc stuff

[strong ravine]

i wanted to log splits but forgot i went back to 1.2.0

i have to put 1.3.0rc2 back on

[bold jolt]

just write them down yourself lmao

log if you get rd and clockets as well, so you can judge your times fairly

count chaos if you want, link a victory screen if you want idk lmao

[strong ravine]

i habe

have

hold on

i have tags in the spreadhsert

i log dd count, rd rarity, 2nd hammer

[bold jolt]

very nice

why's dd count important

[strong ravine]

because dd count corresponds to like

bow badly i get hit

sadly i need to not get hit for hc

might log health lost instead

[bold jolt]

oh lmao fair enough

[strong ravine]

although rlly only matters for dad

i lose a dd sometimes in tart or aspho if i dont just not take the damage with maimed or something to that effect

but tbh hc has least effect in dad so

[storm barn]

This was my first victory, attempt 11 or 12 😄

[lime bane]

Hypermewded Passion-Dashing.

[slender flicker]

first time playing poseidon, got a new pb

[worn rune]

Athena’s cast is so great

It’s my second favorite behind dios

[strong ravine]

bruh

[vestal pagoda]

sometimes you gotta go zagfist plume

[strong ravine]

come on you gotta show us the plume %

[vestal pagoda]

too late

but can't be more than 24% since i put it on in aspho

also uc overrated

2 more points in hl are much more fun

[strong ravine]

omg wait this pact

you literally have flood shot

[vestal pagoda]

either that or two trash things

would've purged if the game gave it to me in the pool 🙃

i timed out on dad thanks to a 3 sack sadly

on that run btw

ripp

[haughty quartz]

bomba bomba bomba

[vestal pagoda]

oh shoot the bomba build

[storm barn]

First victory without losing a life.

[wintry shadow]

first 32 heat was also my first sub 18 minutes

[bold jolt]

big gamer

that's fat attack damage

[strong ravine]

big win with the lean build

[tired shoal]

Classic Bouldy W

Nice casual run.

[fiery haven]

hangover attack on gilgamesh????

[strong ravine]

gilga does take flat damafe

its just that the flat damage is usually ME

[bold jolt]

gilga takes flat damage because the dash strikes deal 25 damage or something lmao

[strong ravine]

20 lmfao

[bold jolt]

no poms on that attack is really sad considering the curse of nausea tho

[strong ravine]

idk how they thought that was a good idea

yeah

idk how you cold do dio atk without poms

dio anything without poms pmfao

[bold jolt]

pomming my ass off

[strong ravine]

better than my performance a minute ago in speed cord

[vapid thunder]

my first victory (attempt 56)

[hexed bolt]

That first clear felt so good

[sullen hornet]

ice time

Arctic blast triggered like twice a second lol

[vapid thunder]

i beat him again with extreme measures 1

[tired shoal]

Based Mirror.

[tired shoal]

Stubborn roots stay winning.

[vapid thunder]

i didnt even have to use it so it was a waste other than for the prophecy 😭

[tired shoal]

Lel.

I was scared for a bit, ngl.

[regal citrus]

w fr

[mild plover]

Eventually hope I can actually beat this without god mode or losing a bunch of death defiances but this build was insane

[tired shoal]

You'll grow dw.

It's probable.

[mild plover]

Yeah, even if it takes a long time. I’ve never really been quick at improving

[tired shoal]

Same.

[mild plover]

But hey as long as I have 4 death defiances I should be fine

[strong ravine]

collar:

[ocean scroll]

thought I'd get sub 12 for once but I got tiny vermin and 5 sack :(

is there somewhere to go for tips about how to go fast?

[slender flicker]

activate windows

you could just ask in #h1-discussion

but i reckon most people will tell you to watch some basic speedrun guide

[ocean scroll]

I've seen a bit but I'll watch some more/again so I can ask better questions

[wild jay]

laserbeam build

[tired shoal]

We beaming,

[lime bane]

Hypermewded Hypestia.

[iron night]

no!

[bold jolt]

Oof rip

[left ridge]

Hestia attack and Poseidon dash together are so fun to play with and dodge chance goes brr
I'm trying to do 32 heat with all aspects, one more done

[bold jolt]

based no atk and special with no shackle

[glad cipher]

almost there. Spear remaining

[bold jolt]

chaos moment

[glad cipher]

😎

[strong ravine]

real "bad zagshield" hours

[glad cipher]

i thought chaos lacked damage, but with explosive return + aphro on special + artemis it's actually pretty good

[strong ravine]

no it does lack damage lol

[glad cipher]

rip

XD

[strong ravine]

it's just a worse zagshield

you're better off never specialing lmfao

[glad cipher]

i don't think I'm going much higher than 40 heat anyway so...

at least with the shield

it's fun though

[tired shoal]

Ye.

[tired shoal]

Chaos shield stays winning.

I miss Star Chaos tho.

[glad cipher]

was it nerfed?

[strong ravine]

yes

it used to actually be good

[glad cipher]

feels bad

I guess it's a good thing that I never experienced it, so that I cannot miss it

I guess

[tired shoal]

True.

You can get a mod for it though.

[glad cipher]

guess I could, yeah

[thin coral]

I use that mod cause current Chaos is too janky

Love star chaos

[tired shoal]

Please come vc and teach me how to install.

[thin coral]

Very straightforward

[left ridge]

Aspect of zeus done and I maybe shouldn't have played right after several failed runs of Lucifer cause my muscle memory was all messed up

[glad cipher]

4 duos, nice

[left ridge]

I also had sea storm but sold it for a death defiance and sold quick reload when it wasn't needed cause I wasn't paying attention

[glad cipher]

Wow lol

[tired shoal]

'Twas a fun challenge

[strong ravine]

where special poms

[tired shoal]

It doesn't get any.

[strong ravine]

dio with no poms

[tired shoal]

He was... unnecessary.

[magic bane]

PERFECT

[bold jolt]

bad at achilles gaming

[lime bane]

Slow and steady.

[bold jolt]

so true

[strong ravine]

rd with no sprint

[bold jolt]

free 10% damage boost lol

[strong ravine]

from where????

oh i had it

id

id

whatever

[lime bane]

Slow and steady.

Was this Eternal Rose start?

[strong ravine]

tdash

great rng in tart

62 atk ixion

[lime bane]

So you're saying you didn't start with the best keepsake.

[strong ravine]

yeah

error on my part

[tired shoal]

Faith Issue tbh.

[left ridge]

That was a funny run, first time I don't use any DD on the dad fight at 32 heat
Half of the aspects done, half to go

[bold jolt]

my 40 heat pb was like 10:27 and i got mid-ely mirage shot

but had early aspho common rd

rooms kinda sucked too

maybe i'll just grind sub10 40 heat instead of sub6 lol

[hollow jacinth]

Nice poms

[bold jolt]

Thanks

[indigo otter]

17 and counting 😏 (and also 36 and counting, I just won't die at the moment... let's see how long I can continue this 😅)

[fast dust]

For a relatively new player im very happy with this runn, fists clear done 🤞

[tired shoal]

Based mirror.

Also looks a fun run.

[fast dust]

Yea it was, those blade rifts were crazy, especially in the 2nd phase when he was standing still 😅🤣

[fast dust]

Is that a good thing?

[strong ravine]

dark regen and golden touch are not preferable

but dark regen like doesn’t matter either way

[tired shoal]

It’s cool.

[fast dust]

Havent maxed the mirror, still some investment to go

[strong ravine]

most important is persuasion

family favorites is generally preferred over priv status unless you're on a hangover build

cause like with this build priv status was wasted

[tired shoal]

Really? No proc?

[strong ravine]

lightning strike, deadly flourish, slicing shot, ddash

you'd only get priv status on that with jolted, exposed, or marked

marked isn't reliable

so you'd be gunning for 2 t2 boons from 2 different gods

meanwhile that's a full pool so you'd have gotten a 25% flat bonus from family favorites

[fast dust]

Yea, but i didnt have the other one leveled and i still need to learn stuff, will get there eventually

[strong ravine]

rest of your mirror is good though

it's good to get fiery levelled too

shadow works in a few cases or sometimes it's just useless either way

[fast dust]

Oh i had jolted and marked in that runn

[strong ravine]

marked isn't consistent though

[fast dust]

Gotcha

[strong ravine]

and like it inherently won't apply to enemies you're currently attacking

[fast dust]

Thank you for the tips

[strong ravine]

but like

most mirror options work

the only really really crucial one to have is greater reflex

because one dash sucks really bad

other options might be suboptimal but you'll do fine

[fast dust]

First thing i leveled was the dash and the death defiances

[strong ravine]

those are your two most important ones

[fast dust]

Was sort if logic when i was reading tru the list

[strong ravine]

next most important is probably thick skin

and then persuasion

cast builds infernal soul

well whatever

you get the gist

im just rambling

[fast dust]

Planing to do a clear with the sword, poseidon cast build

[strong ravine]

poseidon is good

lightning phalanx is a fun build with it

[fast dust]

Ill check in that one

[tired shoal]

Fair take.

[fast dust]

Zeus keepsake opener?

[strong ravine]

lightning phalanx is athena's cast

so you start athena

and then do zeus into aspho

lightning phalanx is their duo

it essentially makes your cast bounce like it was zeus's cast

[tired shoal]

Gilga is the solution.

[strong ravine]

suboptimal:

[fast dust]

Oh thats gonna be funn to play

[strong ravine]

yeah

it's honestly kind of annoying on most aspects

but with poseidon, you can always get your casts back

great synergy

[fast dust]

Gonna get right on it

[strong ravine]

on other aspects it can fly into nowhere

have fun

also probably #h1-builds-and-combat lol

[tired shoal]

Noice, I might try this out.

[fast dust]

Was thinking of some sort of a build with exiting wounds, on paper that sounds like some funny dmg

[fast dust]

Fair point

[fast dust]

@strong ravine i enjoyed phalanx build.. got him first try with the sword 💪🔥

[tired shoal]

Niiiiiice

[fast dust]

Thank you buddy

[tired shoal]

Always, it’s cool to see peeps that have fun with the game like this.

I wanna see how your mirror turns out in the future.

[fast dust]

I generally like these rogue likes/lites games..
Pretty funn to learn, every runn is different

[tired shoal]

#h1-discussion

[primal crown]

nice priv status

[sullen hornet]

This cast build is unique and very funny!

[lunar peak]

Idk this is what i used i guess

[lunar peak]

15 MINS ON HEAT GAUGE 33?

[violet bloom]

thats actually 32

[lunar peak]

Missed clicked

Damn

Took me 43 with 0 heat gadge😭

Ion use build lol idk of any build i just pic what sounds goated

[bold jolt]

there's some psycho with a 7:30 at 50 heat lol

[lunar peak]

How?

Is that possible

[bold jolt]

yeah

the unmodded speedrun wr is 5:12 iirc, modded is 4:30

[strong ravine]

wow guys look hwo fast i am

[bold jolt]

big speed
