[bold jolt]

nice DDs

[sullen hornet]

A best streak of sixty?? wow

[tired shoal]

How… did that… work out…?

Flaring spin my beloved.

What aspect?

[strong ravine]

this is a maxed save lol

but i have a 130 streak on my personal profile

its a result of not pushing high enough

i hadn’t died until i tried boonless mirrorless 32 which took me 130 attempts

and when i was resetting for rarity on 50 heat

and now i’ve died like 300 times resetting in tart

[sullen hornet]

Hera + beam = the crystal drops in the enemy hit by the csst-arrow, facing directly away by default. But also it damages them until they move.
Add cold embrace and it still damages the enemy hit by the cast-arrow until they move.
I didn't get arctic blast, would have been great

Does that answer?

[tired shoal]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh

So u ovewrote the need to go close?

But it received all the benefits.

[sullen hornet]

This is my first time either this duo but yeah

Seems good to not need to drop crystal then walk around to the other side of the enemy

[bold jolt]

That's why you use crystal clarity duo instead so the beam tracks the enemy better

[sullen hornet]

Yeah but I had to get this one sometime. With hera turned out to be a good time

[fast dust]

Spear escape complete, barely but made it 😅

[strong ravine]

lmfao nice

[timid saddle]

W run

[slender flicker]

fellow hunting blades enjoyers

[wary kite]

first 8 heat clear :)

oops wrong pic

[lunar peak]

Wym what aspect

[tired shoal]

What weapon aspect did you use?

[strong ravine]

zagspear

well

unaspected

[lunar peak]

Yea i use spear

Without asprct lol

Planning on using the sword

[tired shoal]

Ohhhh

[crimson crater]

I hate those rats man,can't clear then up quickly 😡

[bold jolt]

rama moment

got the boons a bit late but was fun

[fast dust]

Once i learn the game more ill need tips for those speedruns..
You have sub 7 min? Thats a bit ridiculous 🔥

[left ridge]

All bow aspects completed at 32 heat

[spare rapids]

Not much of an achievement but hey I really enjoyed this build

Didn't get lucky at Eurydice so there's room for improvement ^^

[glad cipher]

i finally managed 40 heat with all weapons :V

got pretty lucky ngl

[lime bane]

Now 41!

[glad cipher]

nah, gonna jump straight to 50 XD

I'm going to try hera first

because it was the easiest and the only one i felt I had still a fairly big margin with

oh, I'm going to regret this, I know XD

[hollow jacinth]

Hera is pretty rough at 50

Gl!

[left ridge]

Lucifer 32 heat done

Before this run I thought Apollo and his cast weren't so strong
Now I think it's completely broken

Getting Purest Light right before dad fight was very nice

[fast dust]

Gunn clear done 💪
A bit of a funny build, tried to do an attack hestia build..
Ended up spamin the special with the 5 bombs..
So far the easiest time vs hades 😅

[hallow shell]

How did you beef up your attack so much 😭😭😭

[bold jolt]

should've been a sub10

[lime bane]

Should have pressed buttons faster.

[bold jolt]

should've not gotten stuck on that many doors lmao

[slender flicker]

probably the fact that he has like 3 pommable boons

pom blossom

all that

[quiet atlas]

that moment when you're on track to PB (7:20 heroes clear iirc) then you get a 5 sack

each poseidon call collision does like 1410 dmg on its own

[glad cipher]

Really? Hestia is my backup plan xD

[glad cipher]

Thanks

[autumn bronze]

funny dash

i forgot to change my mirror

[surreal pond]

almost got my 1st sub 10 but satyr tunnels had other ideas

you love to see it

[bold jolt]

Styx moment

[autumn bronze]

undamaged foes + my first ever 5 sack

[timid saddle]

gamering

[humble gale]

How much damage lmaooo

[fast dust]

My final escape before i completed the story..
This build is pretty ridiculous the aphro / ares combo with constant doom is nuts

[timid saddle]

a kill these

[haughty sentinel]

not my best run

[strong ravine]

this build had insane boss damage

instaphased dad

except the casts take so damn long to drop

i got athena and zeus in tart but didnt get lightning till literally ely endshop

[strong ravine]

so fun

super fast dad with dad call

each cast did a grand

[bold jolt]

lol i wish i was faster at rama

[strong ravine]

do you force arty

how do you always get hdash

[bold jolt]

well last time i forced her into ely

this time i found her in tart

start zeus flourish, got hunter at like miniboss or something, aphro atk endshop

[strong ravine]

so in tart do you just play delta chamber

[bold jolt]

no i use the atk like a normal person lmao

the shared suffering (and twin shot start luckily) is enough to carry tart

the zeus special is just for general aoe whenever you're stuck with a billion numbskulls

[strong ravine]

whats with twin vs triple rama

is twin just way better

[bold jolt]

twin is safer because you dont have to be on top of them to maximize damage

[strong ravine]

cause isnt triple easy to hit all 3 on

because fat arrow

[bold jolt]

it's easier than other bows, but also it's rama the charge up is still relatively slow so it's riskier

but also twin offers more range so it'll be a faster room clear

"range" being like, it's easier to line up multiple targets

[strong ravine]

whats ramas relative value for tart aspho ely styxdad

[bold jolt]

no clue i suck with rama

[strong ravine]

well like

you’ve been around way longer than me

[bold jolt]

i'd assume it scales better in backhalf as long as you get a good second hammer

[strong ravine]

nobody’s said like

its good for tart or bad for aspho or whatever

[bold jolt]

because not many people actually speedrun rama lol

that's just ocaml

well there's others ofc but he's the rama guy lmao

[strong ravine]

i mean like

it’s weird hestia right

[bold jolt]

#h1-discussion lmao

[ashen canopy]

First Win. Finally.

[humble gale]

38 minutes holy sh-

With the rail as well

[plucky solstice]

it's a pretty normal first clear time honestly

[sullen hornet]

I've done 11 clears and still no rail lol

[lime bane]

Hypermewded hyperpewpewing.

[plucky solstice]

I know it was in earlier screenshots but splits in victory screen is really cool

[hollow jacinth]

Yeah its a great addition

[lime bane]

Hypermewded hyperpewpewing 2.

[lime bane]

Hypermewded Hyperpewpewing 3: The Hypermewderer.

[lunar yew]

first sub 9 !!

[tired shoal]

FINALLY!!! I REMEMBERED TO SWITCH TO SPEARPOINT!!!

[hollow jacinth]

Niiiiice

[left ridge]

32 heat hestia
Famed Duet my beloved

Death beam goes brr

Why use protection against Hades' beams when you can become the beam yourself

[ashen canopy]

look I know I'm terrible but I was being carried by that one Daedalus hammer upgrade that turns your special into a glorified nuke. (Hazard Bomb I looked it up.)

[strong ravine]

clockets is W

[timid saddle]

ong

[blazing ginkgo]

not as impressive as most of you folks, but i'm happy to share that I have completed all the achievements that I wanted to complete on this game by defeating a heat 16 EM4 hades

[tired shoal]

Wait a second…

[tired shoal]

…

Did you only die once?

[blazing ginkgo]

ye, 3 sec before beating him xD

i was kinda hoping for a no death run, but well, at least i have all steam achievement nows

but it's only heat 16, yours is heat 32

[strong ravine]

if you can do em4 cp1 with talos you could definitely do 32

em4 is ridiculously anti melee

[bold jolt]

didn't even use long knuckle lol

tbf it was also a meme beam run, so didn't exactly have to use the fists lmao

[strong ravine]

oh right

didn’t see meme beam

[blazing ginkgo]

what's meme beam ? that's one of my favorite builds, what are you talking about xD

is it joked about in the community?

like, i think 75% of my fists and swords runs are demeter/artemis XD

[strong ravine]

meme beam is because idk

it sucks before clarity for sure

[blazing ginkgo]

i once had 2 casts, but an epic Glacial Glare level 4 or 5 (something like +8 or +9sec)

[strong ravine]

i think meme beam takes stygian

yeah

so yeah

infinite beamage

[blazing ginkgo]

i don't like the non-smoothness of spear gameplay

like, you have to do something else than just casting

[left ridge]

The first wins are always the slowest, your time is pretty normal
And I know the feeling, Hazard bomb also carried me for my first win

[sullen hornet]

Flurry jab + long range spear carried both of my first two wins lol

Which build of these two would you say was better? can't post images elsewhere

||jk I'm posting here because they're the same build lmao. Got everything here at once.||

[tired shoal]

The second one seems more intriguing.

[sullen hornet]

I tried to get hunting blades too but alas, I cannot get both at once.
And freezing vortex was fated

[strong ravine]

fun 330 aspho to 55x ely

[sullen hornet]

guan yu is op actually

Wait also

420 69 nice

[sullen hornet]

Epic build

[wary kite]

i prob couldve gotten a dem and/or artemis legendary too if i had decided to buy them lol

[wary kite]

well my game crashed and i had to restart from elysium so i decided to get it lmao

[timid saddle]

i love gambling

[bold jolt]

rate my eris build

[timid saddle]

i like the use of rama

probably a 8

[humble gale]

Thats why it took you 41 minutes to clear

[strong ravine]

lvl1 guan yu you have to play safe lmfao

[humble gale]

Ah fair

cant blame you

[limber fossil]

boonless + no-hit hades

[humble gale]

Proof?

[strong ravine]

295 health (full)

no acorn

no athena

now do it mirrorless

[limber fossil]

no proof but it's low heat so not hard

meanwhile jazz with the 40 heat boonless mirrorless or something

[strong ravine]

lmfao i have 33

tomato has 41

[limber fossil]

how do you get around styx rng?

[strong ravine]

trolling

[limber fossil]

first time I tried boonless I had to take a styx boon

[humble gale]

Ah fair

[strong ravine]

just 2sm

[humble gale]

Il belive it

[limber fossil]

@strong ravine is it acceptable to use well items? I've been avoiding them so far

[strong ravine]

yes

[limber fossil]

what about meg?

[strong ravine]

yep

[bold jolt]

the rules are somewhere in this server lmao

[strong ravine]

#h1-high-heat-strategies message

[bold jolt]

easy sub10 rama

maybe i should just quit beo and speedrun rama

[kindred ingot]

By getting lucky

[lyric walrus]

you purge all but 1 pointless boon which you keep till styx

it means that you can take 3 "free" rewards: heart, money, pom before being forced to try your luck with a god

[quick jasper]

welp, Hera moment.

[lyric walrus]

big number

[humble gale]

2 second drop time holy

[crimson crater]

doing my best getting used to the heat now.

does Weak effect > Doom effect? because my previous run felt slow with no proper duo boon for doom
i always got the duo for athena and art

this one felt easy with the duo boon of apro and art + legendary boon(got it at the very end at charon)

[lime bane]

Forgot to upload this one earlier.

[bold jolt]

horrible dad fight moment

[strong ravine]

crop?

[bold jolt]

yeah lmao

[strong ravine]

rng spread damage like

[bold jolt]

this was a 1:14 dad fight because the adds sucked

[strong ravine]

needs more smair

[bold jolt]

needs more jolted poms

[strong ravine]

is this only for casts

[bold jolt]

Wdym

[strong ravine]

crop causes rng damage in casts

at least on hera

[bold jolt]

Oh yeah probably

[strong ravine]

they talked about it in speedcord a while ago

like

a week ago

[bold jolt]

Yeah ik

Don't think it matters too much when the special damage is at like 50ish

And it's main use is for shared suffering and jolted

[strong ravine]

yeesh i'd figure it'd at least be 60

heroic lvl3

[bold jolt]

Idk idrc about the flourish damage lol

It's 80 lmao oops

[strong ravine]

trolling

the delta chamber is huge

[bold jolt]

I won't lie I did delta chamber a bit of ely

[strong ravine]

if you think about it, rama is really just eris

[bold jolt]

True

[strong ravine]

you special in order to get a 60% damage boost to your big attack

while on eris you special to get a 75% damage boost to your big special

and you have a fast shoot thing that does

damage

i guess

the atk is probably more helpful on eris lmfao

[knotty wolf]

51 streak 😂

[strong ravine]

no low tolerance or black out :(

[lime bane]

It's a maxed save file from speedrun.com with the run history erased that has a 50 win streak and 50 clears. It's because save files with very large run histories will start to lag at certain places in the game. You'll see that one used a lot once you're aware of it.

[lime bane]

Hypermewded not-quite-sub-14 hypeRTA.

[lime bane]

There we go.

[bold jolt]

man it sure would've been nice to get rd

6 levels for jolted in styx shop kinda fun

aether net + smair in styx is a lot of fun

[lime bane]

What was RTA?

[bold jolt]

uh

i think like 17ish?

[fast dust]

Doing some heat now, first sub 20min runn 💪

[bold jolt]

lmao had a worse build but because of chaos i got sub9 it really is about the rooms and not the boons

[lime bane]

So not sub 14 smh.

[bold jolt]

i dont do rta smh

[bold jolt]

based pb

[strong ravine]

my pb is 652 lmfao

diff file

but this one is 1.2.0 pb

i think i can submit it

and get my like

985th place on the lb

[bold jolt]

what about hestia lb tho

[strong ravine]

uh

lets see

22nd

not exactly impressive lmfao

[bold jolt]

oh these times are low

damn

current 22nd is 2 players 1 controller lmfao

[strong ravine]

lmfao

imagine if i had clockets though

the single rocket was critting for 2.7k

the ricochet was nice for the no ely skip though

[humble gale]

Woo got my first sub 20 run

Dont have any proof

Mostly because i play on switch

[tired shoal]

I believe you.

Mostly cuz… Faking a sub 36 run isn’t much in this server.

[humble gale]

Lmao yeah

[sullen hornet]

I forgot to screenshot but I had a level 17 drunken strike.
Max 220 hangover dps

[iron night]

Go to the fourth floor for the first time

[hardy moss]

I love this build

[strong ravine]

what in the name of janky meg setups

[hardy moss]

I was scratching my balls

[bold jolt]

based

it's not stupid if it works

[knotty wolf]

Oh, good to know

[limber fossil]

I can do boonless, I can do mirrorless, I just get destroyed by hades whenever I try both

[tired shoal]

Me with em4 hades and SD:

[lime bane]

I know a good trick that helps with that.

[limber fossil]

get good?

[lime bane]

Practice.

Solid RTA.

[sand mason]

what happen

[thin coral]

Ask #h1-tech-fixes

[worn rune]

Why do characters appear by the victory? Is it some sort of mod?

[bold jolt]

It shows that the run was done using the speedrun modpack

[lime bane]

The speedrun modpack shows a different set of icons depending on which ruleset is selected.

[solemn rampart]

Aegis is best weapon and that's just a fact

[lime bane]

Awfully slow dad fight.

[bold jolt]

unfortunate

a lot of darkness?

looks like a pretty solid build esp with rare rd and epic chaos strike

[lime bane]

Nah, just did like no damage for some reason. That common Tidal Dash definitely didn't contribute anything.

[bold jolt]

oh rip

[timid saddle]

still better than my pb 💀

[quasi kestrel]

Achilles run last night (first in like 6 months) and Beowulf run from a minute ago.

Started with Flood Shot but thought it was funny to replace

I died twice because I wanted to use Ares's DD boon

You definitely cant get Curse of Drowning on Beowulf right? I was going for that but didn't get it.

[bold jolt]

you can

it's incompatible with mirage shot tho

[quasi kestrel]

Ah okay that makes sense

[bold jolt]

also you need flood shot to get CoD

[quasi kestrel]

Ik

I traded it for true shot in styx

Like after the sack

[bold jolt]

oh lmao

[quasi kestrel]

Ares isnt ideal here but oh well. Battle Rage is okay here with the unupgraded Deadly Strike.

Also a Styx boon

Saw like 900 weapon crits and like 1500 cast crits

Also no Eurydice

I didnt get her on the Achilles run but it didnt matter obviously.

+30% attack speed isnt bad but it doesnt effect Bull Rush iirc

[bold jolt]

if i didn't have a 2:47 tart leave this would've been a pb lmao

so many unarmored witches

[bold jolt]

tart and ely sucked lmao

in instaphased alecto so fast from p2 to p3 that i thought i mistimed it

had all priority slots filled going out of tart

pain

so close yet so far to sub9

[strong ravine]

do zagbow

instant sub7

[humble gale]

I struggle to get a sub 20 how do yoy guys do this 😭

I mean probably cause my weapon aspects arent maxed

Or my mirror

But still

[bold jolt]

yeah probably but i find rama more fun lol

my current bow pb is zag bow, and if i did do zag bow this run it prob would've been faster but eh

i'm vaguely happy with my consistency lol

[strong ravine]

what

why

[bold jolt]

i can't aim with hera

[strong ravine]

nyaanyaa pupil

[bold jolt]

missing on hera is much more punishing that missing on zag bow

and my aim with bow isn't that great, so i like zag bow more

[strong ravine]

auto-aim:

[humble gale]

Do you not use auto aim

[bold jolt]

it's not great on kbm, it locks in only 8 directions with wasd

oh aim assist

well i do

i still miss lol

[humble gale]

Wha how

[bold jolt]

bad at aiming

[humble gale]

Is it different on pc?

To like xbox or switch for example

[wintry shadow]

got my second weapon at 32 heat, chiron bow

[proper wedge]

I love the Achilles aspect, but I have to ask: does Mirage shot actually do anything with demeter's cast? I had a hard time determining if a second crystal was firing.

[bold jolt]

it does

probably

i mean they stack on top of each other and they're gonna track the same targets because they're on top of each other so same distance whatnot

[humble gale]

How tf do you get 3 DUO BOONS

[strong ravine]

legacy lmfao

[humble gale]

😶

[bold jolt]

you can get more without legacy

@heavy solar where's the propaganda

[heavy solar]

Uh

Good question

#h1-builds-and-combat message

Go to that message, keep scrolling down, there should be plenty

[proper wedge]

trying very hard? I should actually give the epic mirror perk a try, I always do legacy and eurydice rarity on upcoming boons. Probably very one-note

[humble gale]

fair enough

[proper wedge]

First attempt with Rama: is the special supposed to feel like the rail's ricochet attack? I also totally forgot I had trippy shot/scintilating feast... oops!

[bold jolt]

a common beginner strategy for rama is to use special only because it's kinda like budget delta strike rail

and it's actually pretty decent lmao

[strong ravine]

double strike W

[humble gale]

How do you get the cool border around the victory box thing

[bold jolt]

house contractor after you get a bunch of stuff basically

Ahhh ok

[nocturne crescent]

where is hypertiny games

[thin coral]

First 32 Heat run!!!

[humble gale]

Wooo congrats

[knotty wolf]

no duo, but was crazy strong anyway

[heavy solar]

It isn’t hard to get tons of duos without legacy as my many slander photos can atest to

[bold jolt]

Purple Rd

[lunar yew]

Current PB, if I got clockets it woulda been sub 8 rip

[proper wedge]

I didn't think to reset the run and change the mirror when it offered me Demeter early. I kinda go with whatever it gives me and don't force anything until later in the run.

[autumn bronze]

4 acorn charges left on em4

almost sub5

[strong ravine]

literally 152 tart exit

tart exit time is inversely correlated to rest of run split

[bold jolt]

could've cranked high confidence higher and increased chthonic vitality by a lot

[strong ravine]

i was considering doing pstatus instead

because it does like

10x more per increment

[bold jolt]

takes too long

[strong ravine]

could have done like

pash dash start and pick up zoos ares or dio on atk

[bold jolt]

do more levels in SD make them worse DDs

[strong ravine]

didnt want to try

thought it might break

[bold jolt]

lmfao fair

[strong ravine]

i think flat damage is just like

better

because it gets your ff boost

[bold jolt]

i mean yeah, fds but with ff instead of rd

but also anything with a 1000% boost will be very good

[strong ravine]

i think they should make a route but it's like

worst possible enemies

[bold jolt]

why

[strong ravine]

uh

idk

practice

or something

[bold jolt]

practice for what lmao

[strong ravine]

no tart hammer beo 😞

[bold jolt]

just reset

it's tart

[strong ravine]

well i won't have that issue

because i'm never playing beo again

if i ever decide to do 3weps i'll do nem

so i wont

Been a while since I've done a non em4 run

[knotty wolf]

does my opinion matter now? 😄

[primal crown]

R o d carry

[lime bane]

This is like breaking 1k ELO in chess and asking if your opinion has weight in discussions with GMs. But congratulations on your first 32 Heat!

[knotty wolf]

Why are you so triggered? 😂

[lime bane]

If you choose to see something that isn't there, go on I guess.

[heavy solar]

Cringe level 1 rd though

[bright fossil]

Am I the only one that loves Arthur + Cursed Slash?

[knotty wolf]

Yeah, sure it's not there

[tired shoal]

Nah, I just wish I had the balls to play it.

[autumn bronze]

i suppose

[left ridge]

New bow pb
Not by much, but still a new pb

[ashen canopy]

Me when I actually have a plan:

It's still not good, but it's the best I've done so far.

[tired shoal]

You got both Hoarding and Cursed Slash?

How’d that go, was it fun?

[ashen canopy]

Very

[tired shoal]

Noice!

[ashen canopy]

I played super stupid during Hades fight cause I got him low on second phase with all 3 DD’s left

So I used two of them

[strong ravine]

holy wow

you're getting like

2.6 extra damage each hit from the hoarding slash!

oh no dark foresight would do it yup

[tired shoal]

How much obols does it take for Hoarding Slash to have a significant effect on your dmg?

[strong ravine]

good few thousand

because like

the scaling you get from hoarding slash

you can generally also obtain from just

some decent fds

so

if you have 1400 obol

that's 70 extra damage per hit

which is approximately like

a decently pommed lightning strike and splitting bolt

[tired shoal]

1400? Honestly, not too hard.

Keeping this in my back pocket for a themed run.

[bold jolt]

i mean if you have 1400 gold just for hoarding slash, you could've spend that money on getting more boons/poms that would net more than 70 damage lol

like getting smair, rd, etc

like 2 poms on jolted will give you more than 70 damage probably

if you're doing fds on a sword with lightning strike i'd much rather get poms on jolted rather than 1.4k gold for 70 damage lol

would also like to mention that the damage added from hoarding is not used before modifiers, it's just slapped on top

so if you crit, hoarding slash is added after the crit is calced

[tired shoal]

Well yeah, but I’ve gotten all of those and 1400 gold before.

[proper wedge]

Highest heat so far and it was an absolutely terrible run. I was actually just trying to get the Hermes legendary and Ares/Poseidon duo off my fate list. Only Poseidon I saw until styx was the dash (used shell immediately, that was a mistake should have waited until my core boons were filled). Got the hermes boon but purged it and then I really wish I hadn't due to the extra damage it would have done.

[crimson crater]

not so cool timing but felt like build was good this time

[lime bane]

Congrats! May I offer a couple words of advice?

[crimson crater]

yeah sure

[lime bane]

I'll post it in #h1-builds-and-combat then.

[left ridge]

Deathless 32 heat
The dad fight was so easy I forgot to use the summon

Only Guan Yu left to complete at 32 heat with the spear, but that one is gonna be much more annoying

And it's also my 200th clear

[limber fossil]

lmao did you just run zag spear as bad achilles?

[left ridge]

Yeah at first I wanted to do a ME run but got pretty unlucky so I tried again with a cast build because Artemis was in the god pool

[lime bane]

4:19 Lernie exit but Elysium kinda saved the run lol.

[tired shoal]

Elysium is kind of the clutch region huh?

[lime bane]

More like the most swingy biome.

Hypermodded helps a lot though.

[lime bane]

Hypermodded is so cool because you're guaranteed to get Hyper Sprint + Rush Delivery.

[left ridge]

32 heat zagrail
Now I completed all rail aspects at 32 heat

[knotty wolf]

2nd 32 heat win, this was easier than hestia. I have to take a break from the game cause my thumb isnt doing well lol

Idk, depends on your preferences
I like it cause a bit more variety feels good after several hundred runs
It leads to some funny builds like Famed Duet

GY is a lot better than sagspear

zagspear

[tired shoal]

Sag spear.

[lime bane]

2s behind RTA PB, but another sub 14.

[lime bane]

Taking non-miniboss tunnel on RTA PB pace.

[strong ravine]

https://clips.twitch.tv/AssiduousCooperativeBaguettePJSugar-ytXL5AdvnbOjf5R6

i was referred to this and think it is relevant

[lime bane]

Indeed.

[strong ravine]

needs more storm lightning

[surreal pond]

finally got sub 10, managed to luck into chaos and story rooms in every biome and 2 sack

[humble gale]

Wooooo got my first legendary fish

[timid saddle]

beowulf W

[bold jolt]

based purple rd

[hidden lake]

Just won my first dash only run!

Wouldve been faster if i wouldve gotten sea storm

(And yes i filled in a main slot poseidon too)

[ashen canopy]

I died 5 times during this run and yet, here we are.

[bold jolt]

sub9 rama, got super lucky c33 and c34 in ely

weren't skips, but super easy cleanup with armored enemies

[strong ravine]

purple +dashes win

[bold jolt]

i chose hyper sprint over purple dashes on first hermes lol

[strong ravine]

wbat]

[bold jolt]

rolled twice on second hermes, found them again instead of rd so might as well

[strong ravine]

oh

rifght

makes

snejs

[bold jolt]

it was like a 2:2x tart leave so i wasn't expecting much but somehow had a half decent ely

[magic bane]

Perfect . . . had i not gotten a 5 sac

[strong ravine]

holy jesus

level 19 heroic

[bold jolt]

could use more poms

[lime bane]

What was RTA?

[left ridge]

Had a slow start, but the run got fun once I got Ice wine

[lime bane]

Why do my IGT runs have consistently worse IGTs than my RTA runs lol.

[tired shoal]

Huh, I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen u change ur pfp.

[lime bane]

Indeed.

Could be modded Zag Bow RTA WR if it wasn't hypermodded.

[tired shoal]

You just did this run huh?

That’s crazy.

[lime bane]

Yes.

[tired shoal]

I just looked in here, left to read a message, came back and u beat FO Hades already.

What a world.

[lime bane]

Slowrunning.

[tired shoal]

”Slow.”

[lime bane]

Yeah, that was like a minute slower than my average hypermodded RTA with Zag Bow.

[bold jolt]

Like 21 minutes lmao

Rta hard

[fiery geyser]

Epic snipe mid dash

[lime bane]

Can't relate.

[tired shoal]

Nice!

[left ridge]

Epic ending

[heavy solar]

@bold jolt rate my luck

[humble gale]

Touch of styx dark is a thibg?

[heavy solar]

Patty

when you have sd on

[bold jolt]

lmao nice

could use more hp

[heavy solar]

Huge damage lol

somewhere in the ballpark of 350% dash strike damage I believe

With hr and dr

and epic greatest reflex

Ah I guess I do another run to hit 250 clears

What do I use

Zeus^2

[bold jolt]

zeus with drunken flourish

[heavy solar]

Real quick just giving up a run

40 heat for clear 250 💪

Odd are I just blew all my luck last run though

[bold jolt]

nonsense

do it again

[humble gale]

Ah ok explains it

[proper wedge]

I love zag fist + plume

[tired shoal]

The PunchPlume stays winning

[left ridge]

32 heat zagshield, that combo was really fun to play

Deflect + blind (40% miss chance) + divine prot + acorn = no damage on dad first phase

[hardy moss]

somehow got my first sub 10 with lvl 1 aspect of gilgamesh

[autumn bronze]

the run ever

i think hypothetically given the perfect circumstances i would have been able to do 6-7k damage with one attack

wait nvm

[tired shoal]

Gilga stays winning.

[left ridge]

New bow PB

a bit sad I couldn't get Rush Delivery but the rest went pretty smoothly

[lime bane]

This was clearly a run.

[strong ravine]

@heavy solar here is an easy build and pact for 40

the zagshield boost doesn't do anything here really so you could do this on zeus just fine

[bold jolt]

too bad that's a meta build

[strong ravine]

not meta on zeus

[bold jolt]

every shield meta is aspect of cshot

[heavy solar]

Every shield meta is aspect of cshot

[strong ravine]

are you doing no cshot zeus

[heavy solar]

Yes?

[strong ravine]

wh

why

i cant imagine

[heavy solar]

antimeta for first 40 heat run

[strong ravine]

well thats a good pact anyways

[lime bane]

@heavy solar hypermodded and no video, but here.

[heavy solar]

perfect thanks

Now I don’t have to play zeus strike zag bow because it’s meta /s

[lime bane]

Only in hypermodded.

[strong ravine]

just do shackle chaos

[lime bane]

@heavy solar

[heavy solar]

Fun

If you play every build then it will mean some are free range ig

[lime bane]

@heavy solar

[hollow jacinth]

@heavy solar

is this too mean

i will admit i died a number of times

[lime bane]

He's trying to do his first 40 with an off-meta build.

[magic bane]

true

[hollow jacinth]

this is def off meta

[lime bane]

Which part of it? Thunder Dash?

[hollow jacinth]

sea stirm

i had to purge it

[lime bane]

Purging Sea Storm is the part that's not meta?

[strong ravine]

is deadly reversal meta on zeus

[hollow jacinth]

no0

[strong ravine]

so deadly reversal then

[lime bane]

I suspect Baj probably did all of them at 50 or something but didn't bother recording every run.

[hollow jacinth]

ykc has

and pseudo iirc

[heavy solar]

Thnx?

[proper wedge]

Should I be trying to get curse of nausea or more poms on drunken flourish? It felt slow once I got to Styx.

[bold jolt]

poms

you only need either Nausea or Tolerance, not both
ofc both is nice, but dont need to aim for it
also, styx is gonna suck because it's just naturally bad for chiron due to how cramped it is
getting tidal dash or flood shot with breaking wave would clean up styx easily

also chiron is a naturally slower aspect

[proper wedge]

ah. got flood shot, and it did good work, but no breaking wave

[strong ravine]

chiron styx is always awful

prob solved by tidal dash and breaking wave

[nocturne crescent]

is this a sniper build

[bold jolt]

i also sold sea storm and had splitting bolt ap1-ed lol

also got hit twice after acorn in dad fight which was neat

[strong ravine]

simply run legacy

[bold jolt]

gross

[nocturne crescent]

sorry I suck at the game, but

what weapo is this?

like

what bow aspect

[lunar peak]

Zues I think

[nocturne crescent]

bow of zoos 💀 that doesn't exist

[lunar peak]

Hmm

[humble gale]

Rama

[nocturne crescent]

oh

so it's hidden?

[limber fossil]

rama is hidden

[nocturne crescent]

oh

[heavy solar]

Really putting my struggles to play with drunken flourish at 40 to shame

[timid saddle]

W

[lunar yew]

First sub 8!

[strong ravine]

very sub of 8

big clockets win

[bold jolt]

archer dadds

[strong ravine]

i would simply kill them

how much were you chunking for

[bold jolt]

uh

i dont remember lmao

i had patty jerky in the tunnels and i remember seeing over 1k from an enemy that wasn't in point blank range

[strong ravine]

simply have shield

[bold jolt]

could be like 1.2k chunk or something idk

without counting for shared suffering

[strong ravine]

why does rama chunk less than hestia

[bold jolt]

i didn't have rd for one

secondly idek if my numbers are correct lol i didn't pay attention to them

had like a 10 second heroes fight tho lol

[strong ravine]

is chain good on heroes

[bold jolt]

yeah

good in ely as well

it's just less damage for dad

[strong ravine]

so it's just ricochet 2.0

[bold jolt]

yeah except it hits more

because of twin shot

[bold jolt]

holy gaming

[strong ravine]

holy gaming

big pact hours

[crimson crater]

felt like it went pretty quick

[crimson crater]

nvm fastest till now,feels good

[strong ravine]

huge gaming

[grand oracle]

40 heat!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hollow jacinth]

Nice name

[nocturne crescent]

ok wth

how did you do this

[strong ravine]

real pact hours

[bold jolt]

Based pact ngl

[tired shoal]

Is that… Is that Tight Deadline 3 and Damage Control 2?

You’re cracked, you’re actually insane.

[strong ravine]

dc2 is free heat on rama

[strong ravine]

boring hestia

[tired shoal]

Damn, Rama goes hard.

[bold jolt]

Rama is incredibly pact resistant and strong lol

I also beat 40 heat with it the other day, no DC or em4 because that's too much effort

[lime bane]

DC2 on Rama is like the least amount of 2-Heat effort you can put in on the aspect probably.

[strong ravine]

the effort was actually regarding dragging the cursor to the + button

[bold jolt]

Too much "one shot off spawn" brain

Also messes up a lot of meg timings for me personally

[ebon berry]

dc bad

[bold jolt]

True

[magic bane]

i'm a hero!

[hollow jacinth]

Idk man

[magic bane]

it actually is a huge dps increase

mostly for Elysium splitters

[lime bane]

Undeniably.

[tired shoal]

Damn, Angelic just came in to aay dc’s trash and then dipped.

Pretty based.

[bold jolt]

based ME

[strong ravine]

started athena

got ddash in styx

[bold jolt]

sounds about right

[proper wedge]

Aphrodite just would NOT give me Special so I had to settle for Demeter just to get privileged status going. Hades fight felt really nice, acorn lasted until second phase so I stopped bothering to dodge carefully

[strong ravine]

priv status eris???

[proper wedge]

Forgot to change mirror stuff. I don't usually respec

[magic bane]

dem and dio duo is absolutely insane

[strong ravine]

holy based castspect eris

[strong ravine]

fam favorites better 99% of the time

[proper wedge]

I have heard as such but last time I built fists to frost dash and dio attack so priv status was on as soon as I touched them. Just forgot to switch it before I started rail

[bold jolt]

you did have pstatus procs from passion dash and jolted

technically i guess

[proper wedge]

hah yeah and it sucked terribly

[strong ravine]

was this clockets

idk icons

[bold jolt]

lmao not like it really mattered too much

[bold jolt]

seeking cluster

[strong ravine]

rip seeking

[proper wedge]

it was seeking/piercing/explosive my first pick. Piercing is probably the better choice overall but I like not having to aim

[strong ravine]

you dont have to aim on rail lol

[proper wedge]

perhaps not lol. I do enjoy seeing bullets curve in mid-air around pillars though. I'm also trying to get as far as I can without knowing/following the correct meta in all aspects

[magic bane]

WOOOO! 32 heat finally complete

didnt let me get hermes legendary :(

[bold jolt]

gaming

that's a fat trippy flare

[magic bane]

not fat enough

could have been l19

[bold jolt]

lmao true

but also like

hold on

that's 1024 per cast, only counting with mirage shot

[magic bane]

yea it was huge

i was seeing 112_ actually

that's a chaos +30%

[humble gale]

Howd you get to 1024

[bold jolt]

yeah i didn't account for chaos and family favs

[bold jolt]

beo pom bug

[humble gale]

Ah

[bold jolt]

each pom is 2x of what it says

[humble gale]

I feel like beo is just bugged in every possible way

[strong ravine]

people didnt use it much in early access

[bold jolt]

base rare trippy is 120, that's 196 extra damage from what it says so (196*2) + 120 and then multiply that value by 2 because of mirage bug

[humble gale]

Ah right

Then theres the mirage shot

Which doubles it

Wait does the 100% dragon rush damage affect the cast or just the rush

[magic bane]

phase 1 took 6 casts

[bold jolt]

just rush

[magic bane]

just rush i think

[humble gale]

Ah ok

[magic bane]

which is why l1 beo is perfectly usable

[humble gale]

Thatd make it more powerful than it is anyway

Yeah

[strong ravine]

unfortunate in tart though

[humble gale]

Chaos hasnt been giving me the dialog im sobbing

Ive got the spear and rail aspects

But cant get the others

[magic bane]

Splash!

[bold jolt]

that's a lot of dashes

rip sea storm tho

[magic bane]

meh

messed up on rush delivery

so i built around call

[magic bane]

oh my god

pro

[bold jolt]

big gaming

[eager tusk]

I'm quite proud of this run I'm new to speedrunning it but it was fun blasting my way through Hades XD

[lime bane]

We did. We used Aspect of Charged Flight. (Beowulf and Gilgamesh were the last hidden aspects to be added btw.)

[left ridge]

Nice!
Unless you're doing RTA, it's better to leave Tight Deadline out btw

[eager tusk]

RTA?

But okay noted

[strong ravine]

real time attack

[eager tusk]

Ahh okay

[tired shoal]

I love how Beo and Gilga are on the opposite ends of the spectrum for usefulness.

[proper wedge]

How does TD affect the real time?

[strong ravine]

disables tartarus 45s survival rooms

[proper wedge]

isn't that a good thing?

[strong ravine]

yeah, so you turn it on for RTA

survival rooms are good for IGT because they pause the timer

[proper wedge]

That's what I thought.
the previous person said "unless you're doing RTA, it's better to leave Tight Deadline out" which to me would mean turn it **off **except during RTA. That sounded the opposite of what you would want to do.

[strong ravine]

that's what you want

you turn on td only for RTA

[proper wedge]

ah, I misunderstood the original statement. My original interpretation was "Unless you're doing RTA, [then] it's better to leave Tight Deadline out". I blame the comma.

[magic bane]

notes: flurry jab is actually insane

also got a 5300d combo

[bold jolt]

flurry jab kinda strong

[strong ravine]

needs more dad call

[left ridge]

32 heat chaos

And all shield aspects done at 32 heat now

[bold jolt]

blackout kinda like soup

[strong ravine]

actually theres only 1 shield aspect

[left ridge]

?

[strong ravine]

aspect of charged shot

[magic bane]

actually there's a hidden one called explosive return

[bold jolt]

@rain ruin @heavy solar did it lmao

first try today if you dont count the 74% roiling i took before

In td3 time too lol

I also whiffed meg in dad fight and didn't use it on heroes lol

[heavy solar]

Where are your dio aid poms

[bold jolt]

Gone

One was from a necter, 2 levels was from sweet nectar pom lol

[nocturne crescent]

how did you get the 6 min run

[strong ravine]

by going

[bold jolt]

By going fast

[nocturne crescent]

💀

elaborate

[strong ravine]

essentially

play the game

but fast

[rain ruin]

Real gamer afterall

Now gotta do it with Special

[bold jolt]

oh god no

[left ridge]

32 heat guan yu
I hate this aspect and I'm glad it's over, that was the last one needed to complete all spear aspects at 32 heat

At first I had ME as 3rd boon and got a really good setup for the dad fight
Then I got wrecked and started over before dying so I could try getting an early ME again
Then Athena didn't show at all and my god pool was completely different :(

[left ridge]

6 seconds away from my Hera pb

[bold jolt]

rip

[magic bane]

less than a second off PB

[hollow jacinth]

Good build

[magic bane]

👍

[lunar yew]

first sub 7! i am a slave to clockets hyper delivery

[hollow jacinth]

Yooo nice

[bold jolt]

Big gaming

[lunar yew]

❤️

[magic bane]

what "theme" is that?

[lunar yew]

Stygian!!

has the nicest vibe i think

i havent tried out some of the others though

[nocturne crescent]

build for ppl with skill issue

i made it so newbies can cheese the game

i planned to get merciful end too but it doesn't show up

[bold jolt]

you need divine flourish to get ME lol

that's why you never got it

[nocturne crescent]

i thought the dash works too

[strong ravine]

no

[nocturne crescent]

skill issue for me

[bold jolt]

Use the codex lmao

The dash works for procing ME but isn't a prereq for actually getting ME

[nocturne crescent]

whatever

i designed that build for skill issue ppl anyways

you can clearly see that

with 86% dmg res and 35% dodge chance

[bold jolt]

damage reduction isn't additive, it's multiplicative

so it isn't 86% but it's still pretty high yeah

[magic bane]

somehow this was worse

messed up getting sea storm

there's like 4 different dash-only builds

sea storm, call, rush delivery

uhh

[limber fossil]

40 heat first try!

[humble gale]

Woo congrats

[bold jolt]

gamer

[lime bane]

Nice!

[quasi kestrel]

Idk why the bot deleted the images

Numbers are funky because I god moded chiron's sack in tartarus

On the Zag bow run

Idk why but it refused to give me deadly strike

[forest phoenix]

https://www.reddit.com/r/HadesTheGame/comments/11sksdw/i_did_it_40_heat_on_each_weapon/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1

[lunar peak]

[heavy solar]

78.4%* damage reduction

[nocturne crescent]

how is that calculated

but sure

still high

[heavy solar]

1-(1-0.76)*(1-0.1)

Since you take 24% of the damage you would normally take thnx to godmode and you take 90% of that 24% thanks to bronze skin

[heavy solar]

.24*.9= 21.6% of the original damage, so it ends up being 78.4% (or 1-.216) dmg reduction

[nocturne crescent]

so bronze skin hurt me instead of helping

got it

[heavy solar]

No?

It didn’t

It increased your damage resist

You ended up with 78.4% damage reduction instead of 76%

Thats a boost

[left ridge]

32 heat poseidon
Only nemesis, zagsword, demeter and gilgamesh until I'm done with all aspects at 32 heat

[magic bane]

oooh

i gotta check out mods sometime

[left ridge]

Master Bolt is fun but I had to sell Static Discharge so it was much weaker

[left ridge]

32 heat gilgamesh, got a bit scared by TD in Tartarus but it went very well even if I still struggle maiming foes
Divine dash + ruthless reflex + blind + acorn = killed Asterius without taking a single hit
Only 3 aspects left to go

[lunar yew]

what an insane time this would have been if i was any good at Achilles 😦

[magic bane]

RAHH NO MIRAGE

[lunar yew]

F 😦

[magic bane]

first time having fun with greater recall though

[lunar yew]

petition for greater recall to be basekit

[timid saddle]

i havent used fists in an eternity

[hidden lake]

Mot really a boast but just finished a run with 4 duos and i think thats p cool

[crimson crater]

dyno and demeter or apro and demeter combo is really amazing to see

[left ridge]

32 heat nemesis
Hestia is pretty fun to play with
I also had Unrequited Love (+ centaur heart/centaur soul after each miniboss/boss) which is very useful but sold it at Styx

No black out, unhealthy fixation or hunter's mark though :(

[left ridge]

32 heat demeter, now done with all fist aspects
Only zagsword is left

[timid saddle]

if only i had more casts

[bold jolt]

back to beo grinding

my tart and aspho suck

and ely

[strong ravine]

when did u get mirage

[bold jolt]

uh

not tart

c22?

[strong ravine]

nice

pls dont sub6 before me

[bold jolt]

c23

[strong ravine]

extension?

[bold jolt]

aspho endshop lol

[strong ravine]

oh right

that's what chamber that is

[bold jolt]

your pb is already lower than mine and you started later lol

[strong ravine]

the stonebraid is real

[strong ravine]

ive been in tart hell for a flat week

[bold jolt]

i've been in rama hell for a while lol

i also want to mention that in that run i didn't reroll until aspho endshop, where i rerolled a pom so i can get a level 3 flare lol

[strong ravine]

you had a lvl2 thru aspho combats???

[bold jolt]

yeah lol

[strong ravine]

when was the grasp

[strong ravine]

sounds awful

[bold jolt]

early tart

[strong ravine]

also when are u supposed to use dad call

p2p2?

[bold jolt]

something like that

[strong ravine]

common pounding is real

[lofty timber]

Took me 75 attempts to escape the first time, and now I just cleared 44 heat! 🎉

[strong ravine]

hestia stays winning

[lofty timber]

It’s my favorite aspect!

[strong ravine]

32 heat zagsword
Tidal dash + Greatest reflex + Hyper sprint + Razor shoals, all of them epic, is very funny to play

And that was the last aspect I needed to complete all aspects at 32 heat

[primal crown]

Yooo zag sword as last 32 heat gang
