Finally managed to get a build that made Lucifer be not horrible to use.

Each tick of the inferno bomb thing puts doom down, and each tick of the laser gun bursts it

[smoky tulip]

new pb

[smoky tulip]

there is some ingenuity to it, but enemies tend to not stay still, so i can barely imagine how that build works

and judging from your time, it's not very efficient

[ornate ridge]

First of all

Rude lol

I play in between tasks at work, so the run isn't played to optimization (pretty sure I sat still in a few rooms without pausing). In terms of staying still, between chill and being staggered by damage, you can rack them up quickly enough. Two doom pops is enough for most enemies, and it takes almost no time to hit that threshold

[smoky tulip]

also hellfire bomb ticks are not very fast and you want something fast to apply doom on your foes

and your laser beam is much faster so i'd guess there was more damage from that alone than from doom procs

and you probably should just look up some builds on Lucifer

but if you ask me there's nothing to look up for, you just play zap, same as Eris

or some crazy poseidon beam build

[ornate ridge]

I was originally aiming for a hangover beam just to see how that does, but never got offered one of his boons. Zeus beam definitely sounds like a winner though

[smoky tulip]

lightning strike is a winner

or tempest strike with sea storm

[ornate ridge]

Ooh that does sound good

[left ridge]

Richochet fire, Summertime and Chilling melody down
All rail hammers are done

[bold jolt]

Does summer time give you 5 hp or is that reduced by lc

[left ridge]

It's not reduced by LC

Should be probably fun to do smair + summertime + LC4

[primal crown]

Does that work with any call?

Would actually make ares call pretty fun for heal lol

[left ridge]

No, it's only Hestia's call which does a ring of damage around you (the ring starts from you and expands outwards)

[primal crown]

Lame

[bold jolt]

Epic rd based

[sick burrow]

Despite using my least favourite weapon and least favourite god (Demeter) I managed to get a sub 20 with a 4 sack! Definitely enjoyed this run more than I thought I would have

[strong ravine]

meme beam speedrun

[sick burrow]

[untold coyote]

great time for my first ever 5 sac

[smoky tulip]

truly

[lunar peak]

1st win | 14th run | Hell Mode

[strong ravine]

i think that’s the best first win build i’ve ever seen

even with the unpog hammers

and kinda sus tempest flourish

[lunar peak]

doable with guides

[primal crown]

Plume gaming

[nimble grail]

good ol good ol

[left mango]

beat the tiny vermin

[valid kindle]

did a run where a friend of mine chose gods for it and it was poseidon and zeus

the basic sword was decided bya random wheel decide

[nimble grail]

Hestia is bestia

[strong ravine]

imagine if those poms were in the dash

big damage

[nimble grail]

Smoldering air with Chiron is pretty fun

Makes the call so spammable

[lunar peak]

hera bow was soo fun (i swapped hammer upgrades)

[left ridge]

Triple and explosive, must have been quite strong at point blank

[lunar peak]

yeah it was, especially in the unique chambers! i was waiting for explosive for the whole run and got it in the swap lol

[smoky tulip]

I told you Zag spear good

[bold jolt]

On the other hand you could've gotten the same exact build on Achilles and it'd be much stronger lmao

(also zag spear is only good because it gets access to flurry jab lol)

[lunar peak]

i luv achilles

[primal crown]

Trippy beo gaming

[smoky tulip]

i didn't get flurry jab on Achilles though

[bold jolt]

i mean you could've

[smoky tulip]

i know, but i didn't

maybe another time i'll have more luck

[strong ravine]

epic rd

[smoky tulip]

yeah i probably would've died if not for epic rd

[lunar peak]

i love fists now and new record

[smoky tulip]

not one DD spent, you can turn off godmode now, man

[lunar peak]

yea after i complete the story

[smoky tulip]

you can turn it off anytime

[lunar peak]

ik

[smoky tulip]

why didn't you then

[bold jolt]

because they want to complete the story first lmao

[lunar peak]

bc i didn't finished the story yet

[smoky tulip]

so? i don't get it

you can complete the story with or without godmode

[strong ravine]

does it matter if you get how someone else plays

[bold jolt]

yeah but they want to keep it on until they complete the story

[lunar peak]

i started playing because of the story so i want to complete the story first, then i can grind

it makes it easier to complete the story that's why

[smoky tulip]

yes it does, i wanna learn about godmode, maybe there's something i'm missing here

[strong ravine]

sure

[bold jolt]

it's just damage reduction lol

[lunar peak]

then you could just ask about it lmao

[untold coyote]

rate the build

talos best fists

[strong ravine]

my honest deadly strike fists reaction

[untold coyote]

wha

is that not good

idk builds

[strong ravine]

well

you have a 15 base damage attack

[untold coyote]

yeah ok

should i go zeus

[strong ravine]

so the mult is not good

basically

build fundamentals are

fast low base damage attack = take flat damage like ares dio or zeus

slower but higher base damage attack = find a good %

[untold coyote]

yeah i usually play me but this time i wanted to try this thing

[strong ravine]

sword and spear are in a weird intermediate zone but both can work for them

that’s a banger time for that build tho

[untold coyote]

oh ok cool

[strong ravine]

and then like

bow ofc want % and so does shield

and then fists and rail want flat

[untold coyote]

ok thanks il try the thingo

[strong ravine]

rail zeus is op

[untold coyote]

zeus

i like aphro hestia

[strong ravine]

fists you can do any of them but doom needs ME for dmg or else it kinda sucks

HESTIA BEST ASPECT 💪💪💪💪💪💪

[untold coyote]

fr

boy do i love the barge of death

[grave vector]

discussion of things unrelated to victory screens is better in #h1-discussion

[untold coyote]

@strong ravine yeah you were right it is significantly better, tiny vermin barge 5 sack and only 2 seconds slower

[smoky tulip]

would be easier if your screenshot wasn't cut like that, can't see half the build this way

if you're concealing god mode then don't, we clear that it's ok to use it if you don't submit runs

[left ridge]

The maim timing is a lot easier to get with Rush kick, it was nice to change a bit for once but I got a very weird start with common doom and only 2 Ares boons for the entire run

That was the last hammer for the twin fists, only 2 hammers to go

[ivory sky]

slicing shot on clockets vs em4. melted the big man

[strong ravine]

cursed doom atk

what call is that anyways

can’t tell if athena or zoos

[ivory sky]

athena. I wanted ares but being able to stand there and shotgun hades a bunch was almost as good, maybe better

[strong ravine]

ares call stinky

[ivory sky]

vicious cycle makes it ok for a run like this imo but otherwise i agree. invincible clockets was more fun anyway

[untold coyote]

literally perfect build but of course i get barge 5 sack tiny vermin again

rare cropped my attack as my second boon

[grizzled orbit]

... is that thunder dash merciful end

[untold coyote]

wait what

what dash am i meant to use

[grizzled orbit]

divine dash lmao

merciful end is kinda mid without it

[untold coyote]

oh wait

that makes so much sense

🤦‍♂️

[bold jolt]

Lmfao

[ivory sky]

shattered him with 9hp left, i took cursed slash on purpose for the challenge and was regretting it bc i rly didn't think i was gonna win this time

[lunar peak]

2nd time's the charm :D didnt even get sea storm until styx smh

[bold jolt]

tbf the build doesn't need sea storm

[lunar peak]

it doesnt but jolted on basic attack w/charged shot goes brrr

[smoky tulip]

it's worth having god's pride on fists after all, although i was aiming for bad news in Ely because didn't get single Hermes boon in aspho, but instead i got epic dashes

[left ridge]

I think this build is one of the best I've ever made, it's completely broken
Royal hearth groups all foes together while I keep spamming cast, Danger zone to increase damage over time
I completely destroyed the heroes (even bosses are impacted by royal hearth, Asterius was spinning around but not getting anywhere near me)
Perfect clear and new 32 heat PB

Both Royal hearth and dashing flight done, only a single hammer left

Honestly royal hearth might be the funniest boon to play with, just like breaking wave in styx except it's in every room

[north turtle]

What mod is that?

[left ridge]

OlympusExtra https://www.nexusmods.com/hades/mods/123

[unborn flame]

Most fun

[hazy fossil]

phew

[summer trail]

decided to do a run after really long time

and somehow ended up doing a zeus rail run (was gonna do fists run but saw zeus in first room and gave up before run started)

also i destroyed charon

also i finally unlocked hypnos last two locked hearts

[smoky tulip]

finally clockets, but no sub10 damn it i'm bad, some would get sub9 at least with this build, although my first hammer was cluster bomb

[hollow jacinth]

Very nice build

[summer trail]

merciful end without the merciful end

[left ridge]

Opening other duos when going for ME is risky

[primal crown]

Olympian favor gaming

[left ridge]

And also that's the big drawback of the plume, you can't really pick your build as much
Nice epic RD though

[summer trail]

here me out

i didn't get ares until the before hades

and i was going for a lambent plume rush delivery

so couldn't force ares

was gambling for rng

and i lost the gamble

[left ridge]

I'm surprised you didn't go for zeus attack then

[summer trail]

i didn't get zeus in the final room either

also i needed some sort of attack immediately because i didn't have any attack boon

damage was really low

[left ridge]

New bow pb

It feels strange to do a low heat speedrun after all those 32 heat runs

[west cargo]

I still haven’t gotten past 7 heat lol

[left ridge]

Tbf I have been playing for a while, you'll get the hang of it 🙈

[chrome moss]

too ez

[left ridge]

Up the heat then

Blade dash vicious cycle is something I've never tried huh

[left ridge]

[smoky tulip]

yeah more like stretched

[silent dove]

already so dps omgggg

1607 crits in 1st aspho room 🤤

[bold jolt]

maen

replaced drunken strike with lightning strike, no idea if that was a good idea lmao

[spiral obsidian]

man y'all are monsters, i was feeling real confident at first submitting my run.

[amber glacier]

Fun run. Got Hunting Blades in Chamber 7, then Deadly Reversal at Asphodel miniboss. Could've been a bit faster if I didn't bother with Infernal Troves.

[untold coyote]

boy do i love the barge of death

[bold jolt]

barge moment

[untold coyote]

the barge is less than 8 seconds longer than power couple right? right?

[bold jolt]

it's like

longer i think

3 waves and also starting and ending times

it's just so long lmao

prob like 15 extra tbh

at least

[untold coyote]

feels like an hour

barge is a nice idea but they screwed up so bad

[bold jolt]

it's bad for time lmao

[untold coyote]

could i be more accurate

[bold jolt]

lmfao

consistency

[left ridge]

People who post the most here are those who play a lot, so don't worry

[spiral obsidian]

.....i had a mouse and keyboard for a while at first. Working on under 10 min run

[left ridge]

Oh

[spiral obsidian]

no need to be hurtful lol

[left ridge]

I mean I thought I had a lot of playtime but you've got over 4x that so it surprised me since your clear number isn't very high
Also I'm playing with mouse and keyboard

[bold jolt]

zag sword moment

easiest sub10 of my life (zag sword sucks)

(where's my epic rd)

[untold coyote]

wasnt even close

[untold coyote]

NEVER EVEN GOTTEN SUB 10:30

OMG

cant wait to never beat this ever again in my entire life

[bold jolt]

lmfao very sub of 10:30 of you

clockets rd kinda strong

[untold coyote]

no it was all hestia frfr

[bold jolt]

well hestia kinda relies on clockets starting in ely

[untold coyote]

yeah lmao

my heroes was embarassingly slow

[bold jolt]

also not a lot of poms in the run lmao the tdash is kinda sad

[untold coyote]

cos i phased them one by one

sub9 omg cut 1:41 off my old rec

[bold jolt]

what aspect was your old record on? was it ME fists?

[hollow jacinth]

Niiiiice

You just used it all

[hollow remnant]

optimized gameplay, if you asked me

[hollow remnant]

ok, I just did this and I just not only optimized my health, but also the time

build? wait, no no, dont look at my build !!

[west cargo]

Had a fun Hera build

With all 3 flood shots I dealt over 1000 damage

[smoky tulip]

press f12 man

[hollow remnant]

Or F11

[bold jolt]

it's still surprisingly a good quality pic tho lmao

[west cargo]

I’m on controller though, idk how f11 and f12 translate

[hollow remnant]

Ooooh, thats makes sense
And I never played hades on a controler or console
But as bananas said, the pic is readable, so it is fine 😄

[west cargo]

Cool cool

[hearty vessel]

I think he's more surprised you have 1000 hours and only 135 runs, is this your only account? Did you play a lot of God mode?

[sick burrow]

When you get the perfect set up to get a good time and the fates ruin it by giving you a 5 sack 😭

[smoky tulip]

I still haven't figured out where do screenshots go if you're use this in-game button f11

[smoky tulip]

trippy flare infernal soul gaming

[tulip glacier]

if you have a keyboard with the printscreen button (usually somwhere above the arrow keys) the prinstcreen key puts the screenshot to your copy paste so then you can just paste it to discord

[smoky tulip]

i do have printscreen button on my kb, thank you, but i didn't think to use it in-game

so f11 works the same as printscreen huh?

[tulip glacier]

i dont actually know what f11 does

[smoky tulip]

screenshots supposedly

i don't know though why would you be using it if you have your steam's f12, maybe for pirates

[sick burrow]

First time instaphasing hades which was pretty cool!

[untold coyote]

wow your fastest time is with hera? never seen that before

infernal soul with trippy flare?

[spiral obsidian]

Ahah Oh God no, Disclaimer, Steam wiped a massive chunk of my saved play through and an entire saved log of like 400-500 runs when I went from PC to laptop a year ago.

[left ridge]

Ah that explains it, alright then

[hollow remnant]

D:\Documents\Saved Games\Hades\Screenshots

[smoky tulip]

no, nothing there, that was literally the first place i checked

[hollow remnant]

I confuse "Saved Games" and "My Games" all the time, when I go check those things.
you checked both?

also, those are only the F11 screenshots

[smoky tulip]

yes

well, that's irrelevant actually, if there f12 steam key no use for f11 in-game key

[supple aurora]

Well,that was a lot of damage

[lunar peak]

Blinding strike ?
Ive never seen such a move.

Hades 2?

Oh a mod?

yeah it's a mod

OlympusExtra

[sick burrow]

yes it is! the bow used to be my least favourite weapon now the hera aspect is one of my favs!

[ivory sky]

olympusextra is supposed to be dropping hera soon, they revealed her character art too. gonna be fun to see the mod's vs sgg's versions of the four missing gods

since everyone's supposed to be in hades 2

[lunar peak]

i was so happy with my 17 minute run then i started looking in this chat 😭

[left ridge]

Don't sell yourself short, those who post the most here have been playing for a long time

[left ridge]

New rail pb

[left ridge]

New sword pb too, I'm on a roll today

Got a lil scared because I lost all my DDs in Tartarus (Tart at FO2, only 28 max HP and 1 HP is not fun)

[sand verge]

Never doing over 40 heat again. It was torture, but I finally pulled through. Not touching zeus shield for a long time again either.

[past bramble]

i was so lucky to get those two upgrades from the hammer and then the extra cast??
i couldnt even see anymore from all the stuff i threw on the screen lmao

[left ridge]

Nice keepsake

[ivory sky]

did you take the egg to the fight bc of the prophecy where chaos wants you to do it for his amusement?

[past bramble]

yess hahaha

[ivory sky]

I had that one a few days ago on my new save

[ivory sky]

is your screen res a running gag or does it help you play gud

Sub4 lernie is pretty huge

took me ages

just a few days ago i thought sub5:30 was good

[bold jolt]

tbf even i'm not consistent at getting sub4 aspho leaves lmao

even on beowulf

[untold coyote]

i dont think im ever going to get one ever again in my entire life 😭

that run wasnt even good

So satisfying

[left ridge]

Behold! Huge catch 32 heat

Now I only need 2 modded duos, 1 keepsake (I keep forgetting about the shackle -) and 1 hammer to have completely finished my challenge

It's pretty fun that I got so used to 32 heat by now that I reached my best streak

For as much as Ocean's bounty is actually kinda fun, Sunken treasure is really completely useless though

[jade mountain]

coronacht 👍

[pearl trail]

hunting blade on hera is difficult to get started on high heat, but once you get through the initial slog, elysium and Daddy EM4 becomes a cakewalk

[strong ravine]

🗿 where achilles

[pearl trail]

no achilles, only hera

[amber glacier]

I always seem to get Hunting Blades really early

[hollow remnant]

I cheesed the fight with especials while hades used lasers
rail worst weapon confirmed

pact?
skill issue?
I, never!

[bold jolt]

Your luci hammers kinda suck lmao

[grizzled orbit]

did you forget to pom jolted or smth

lol

[hollow remnant]

but thanks folks, really helped figure out my problem with the rail <3

[grizzled orbit]

your damage was prolly low because you had 8 poms in zeus attack lmao

[bold jolt]

Also yeah no jolted poms so damage is kinda bad

[grizzled orbit]

looks like a fun build at the very least

[hollow remnant]

got jolted at like, 31 room, it showed up once on poms... choosed atak 😅

[grizzled orbit]

in all due respect, that was the wrong choice

think about it

[hollow remnant]

yep, I get it

[grizzled orbit]

atk pom = +1?+2? damage on each bolt

jolt pom is like

what

50

and since you proc jolted more than you attack 25 times its more damage

huh

[hollow remnant]

I realized why jolted was good just in styx

[grizzled orbit]

math in my hades

ah well ya live ya learn

imo best to spread your poms out unless you really know what youre doing, because poms have diminishing returns

[lunar peak]

Pretty cool I think

[untold coyote]

why 7 heat

[grizzled orbit]

fo1 most likely

[tulip glacier]

this was meant to be a joke build but the attack actually did more damage compared to the normal zeus attack once i got sea storm

[left ridge]

Super soaker is fun

[craggy wigeon]

Bro it actually kinda helped

I’m just tryna level up all keepsakes 😭

Almost done with the first row

Current objectives probably
-escape once on 0 heat with every weapon
-level up all keepsakes
-get duo boons cause why tf not

Also is it good or bad that my first completion was just about 30 runs in

[blazing pebble]

i swear the shield is too op😭

got my first completion by just blocking all of hades attacks

[untold coyote]

i mean you could theoretically beat any amount of heat with it with enough patience

[strong ravine]

Tight Deadline:

[bold jolt]

legit saw chaos legendary in this run too

what is wrong with pride

[left ridge]

Shout-out to fish stew for being the most annoying and useless boon to hunt at 32 heat

It requires to have both Poseidon and Hestia's supportive boons (not core), so just the starting boon isn't enough
It forces me to take Hestia's keepsake into asphodel instead of Zeus'
And I can't take the risk of opening other duos

All that just so I can literally not get a single fishing point afterwards, making the boon completely useless
It could have been fun with Huge catch but requiring both a duo and a legendary for the duo to do anything is a bit sad

[primal crown]

No skeleton lures?

Second victory, back to back with my first one

I am still filling out the fated list of prophecies for daedalus enchantments so I got whatever I needed

[untold coyote]

oh ok

people dont usually pick either of those

ever

[autumn bronze]

charged skewer on guan yu is excellent

[untold coyote]

what really

does it give you the lifesteal

[autumn bronze]

what

why would the special give lifesteal

[untold coyote]

oh wait wrong one

i didnt knw people actually used the spear special

apart from achilles

[autumn bronze]

guan yu special goes hard

[untold coyote]

il try

[bold jolt]

The special is the best part of guan Yu lol

Makes it play as weird hestia/bow hybrid

Used in hitless runs

[untold coyote]

what but its so slow and like clunky

[strong ravine]

no it’s not

the attack and spin are slow and clunky

[bold jolt]

It's kinda ass without charged skewer ngl lmao

[untold coyote]

yeah i figured youd spam dash strke

[untold coyote]

makes sense now

[craggy wigeon]

Yeah the charged skewer is actually very helpful

Quick damage or heavy damage when necessary

Time to escape with the shield ‼️‼️

[craggy wigeon]

Escaped with shield ‼️

And a new fastest time too so that’s cool

It didn’t give me the option 🙃

[strong ravine]

juicy 33 damage crits

[strong ravine]

not the pom for it

just that zeus lvl1 special is like the lowest base damage thing in the game

so that crit isnt rlly doing much

[craggy wigeon]

Ah

[strong ravine]

zeus^2 is a very easy and good build

just put zeus flourish on zeus shield

32 clear w/ Achillies. Took a long time but had an epic run with an epic finish. What to choose for next weapon 🤔

[hollow remnant]

I tried to be smooving
2 hermes ofered, one at 33 and one at styx
Still smooved tho 😎

[tulip glacier]

i think you always get 2 hermes boons (and an optional one in styx shop)

[hollow remnant]

My second was on a door in styx, not in the shop

[lunar peak]

I think they try to force another Hermes onto you if you haven't taken another one by Styx, hence the Hermes door. works like hammers I think?

[bold jolt]

Yeah something like that

If you enter Styx with only 1 of those the game tries to give you a second but sometimes it just doesn't lol

[strong ravine]

can styx door hermes be elite

[bold jolt]

Yes

[strong ravine]

epic strats of waiting till styx for 2nd hermes so you can get that blue rd

[tulip glacier]

so i just learned that with ricochet fire, if you hit terrain near an enemy it will still bounce so for hades phase 3 i just shot the pillars and hit him even when i did not see him

I only had all yellow on the bow because of the prophecy, my standard is all purple

[strong ravine]

do u do all purple for fun

[craggy wigeon]

I just prefer the abilities over the yellow tbh

I may switch a few up at some point but it works for me for now

[strong ravine]

if u want a good mirror the important ones to flip to are dark foresight and fated persuasion

there are some other picks but nothing as important

family favorites for instance or fiery presence

[craggy wigeon]

Yeah those are some of the ones I was thinking

[left ridge]

Oh that sounds like a funny challenge, thanks for the idea

[craggy wigeon]

I’ll def probably switch around between FP and FA

[strong ravine]

fated authority is mostly good for meme “highest x” runs

[craggy wigeon]

And then maybe GP and GL

But other than that I prefer the purple over the yellow

[strong ravine]

no df???

df is the 3rd most important mirror upgrade imo after defiances and dash

[polar cosmos]

ez (kind of)

I also didnt go full on for attack or in general boons bc I inteded it to be more resource focused too xD

[little prairie]

Knocking them down.and ready for tight deadline, it seems

[polar cosmos]

hm, probably

im not so sure as to which weapon I should pick with td but I ll think abt it

[strong ravine]

no reversiful end 😔

[polar cosmos]

whats that actually

[strong ravine]

merciful end but with doom on special

[polar cosmos]

oh yeah

I dont exactly remember for sure but I dont think I inteded/persisted with it that much

mostly also bc I inteded the run to be also partly focused on getting more resources

[sullen hornet]

Well, that was not actually as bad as I expected for 10 heat more

2nd try

[primal crown]

nice title

and amazing pact

[sullen hornet]

more enemies + more health on them = more lifestealing!

[strong ravine]

[sullen hornet]

w w i i d d e e

[sullen hornet]

(Also this is only because first try used HS and I touched a couple traps)

[hollow remnant]

HS never worth it
I stoped playing and am never coming back...
oh, not HearthStone?
well, Heightened Security isnt worth either 😅

[sullen hornet]

I have a friend who still plays so I've opened it again for the free stuff after a year, but after we have a game I'll stop too

[polar cosmos]

3rd victory 😎

[polar cosmos]

and you were right I was pretty great with td, ofc I have it only on rank 1 bc there s no point to have it higher yet

[tulip glacier]

if you have anything to say about my pact, build, mirror... i would be interested, feel free to ping me in high heat strats

[supple aurora]

Pretty good run, a lot of fun to play

[polar cosmos]

had quite some fun, espacially because I was able to be so agile and still not take that much dmg

[left ridge]

Playing hera with trippy flare is a bit unusual but I needed festive bomb

[sullen hornet]

Round 2: not as bad as I thought

guan yu + quick spin + massive spin + divine strike + greatest reflex + artemis call for both runs lol

[left ridge]

I have questions
How the hell did you make it from 16 heat to 32 on guan yu before any other aspect, that aspect was the hardest for me lol

[sullen hornet]

It's so easy tho. Guan Yu is by far the easiest aspect of any weapon for me

step 1: get quick spin
Step 2: spam spin attack

Important note: releasing the attack stops you from moving, even dashing, for a short time.
Dashing first releases the attack anyway

So charge it, dash away, and repeat

[polar cosmos]

that was.. pretty close ngl

[primal crown]

lot of special dmg

[strong ravine]

🗿

[hollow remnant]

YO, I BEAT MY RECORD!
AND I SKIPED A SHOP BY ACCIDENT
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/877038707583107092/1121917126308024360/image.png

I feel like I can do a sub10 with fists, cuz damn I could have played that better

[ivory sky]

a new pb is always nice. recently got one with guan yu of all things

[bold jolt]

Guaranteed Rd sounds so comfy lmao

More aggressive rolls

[untold coyote]

this game bro i get perfect rng and then i screw it up i even accidentally brought shackle

my third sub10

tiny vermin really brought hades keepsake to the fight

[strong ravine]

nice hermes

[bold jolt]

Tbf I don't think they're looking to submit anything

On the other hand, their hp is fine enough so they don't have to run god mode anymore tbh lmao

[untold coyote]

yeah i just have it for hc so i can know breakpoints better

il start submitting as soon as i hit sub 8

[untold coyote]

my friend thought it would be funny if he anviled me out of clockets

[untold coyote]

gotta love tiny vermin 3 sack

[untold coyote]

the build was so good but im not familiar with eris

[bold jolt]

Still sub10 tho lol

Epic rd carry

[untold coyote]

as usual

[left ridge]

Alright, Flaring spin was the last one
Honorable mention to the fact I only got one single Ares boon

I now have all weapons, aspects, keepsakes, hammers and boons completed at 32 heat

Album of my permanent record: https://imgur.com/a/CSs2VKV

[primal crown]

gg

those 32 all green looks really nice

[left ridge]

It took me around 75 clears to have everything

[ivory sky]

x-treme slow bow gaming vs. em4 with 12hp left

by elysium it was a joke build no matter what so I was like whatever why not explosive shot

[tulip glacier]

if you had triple shot instead of twin shot, this build would have actually been very good

[primal crown]

that's a solid build tho

explosive is only meme here

[ivory sky]

yeah that's hammers for ya. and the fact you can't reroll them

epic pos call carried me a lot

including at the end when I was one hit away from losing

[bold jolt]

i mean you could've picked any other option tbh lmao

[ashen elm]

I am mega hyped

[primal crown]

damn

[strong ravine]

how do u get so many boons

oh ri0

[primal crown]

gg

[ashen elm]

gg

[ivory sky]

nice

[craggy wigeon]

Clears 6 and 7; first rail clear that I def should not have won, and first heated clear with any weapon (only 1 heat for bounties)

[fringe steppe]

my first time beating dad without dying

also my first ever clear with bow

[fickle meadow]

nice !

[ivory sky]

another em4 win to celebrate my switch lite magically coming back to life

[left ridge]

Ice wine combined with scintillating feast is always neat

[ivory sky]

I usually aim for that with beo bc I had an amazing, denied-me-nothing run with it once

[west cargo]

Forgot to post these couple of wins from last night

That was also my first time using Lucifer

[hollow remnant]

That lucifer looks like a fun build

[ivory sky]

one more today. fun eris run except for spread fire which has awful range, but I needed it for the fated list

[primal crown]

Exclusive access paying off

[ivory sky]

got it in tartarus

[ivory sky]

another one bc I can't stop playing since my switch works again

special go brrrrr

[primal crown]

Splitting bolt carry

[ivory sky]

yeah zeus aid tore the big man up with it

1000 damage every time doom hit was fun too, but after getting splitting bolt in styx i wish i had been able to switch it to thunder flourish

[craggy wigeon]

Just gonna point out how much I love serrated point

[hollow remnant]

Serrated point enjoyer 🫡

[ivory sky]

serrated point is slept on, my first sub12 used it + triple jab

even better if you get the lunge chaos boon

[strong ravine]

tempest strike heroic lvl3 92% 🗿

serrated point is cool except for the part where it’s not flurry jab

[ivory sky]

what's the moai meme

[bold jolt]

it's less of slept on and more of "flurry jab better" lmao

Serrated is def good but flurry jab gives you dps while keeping full dash length

[strong ravine]

also serrated is kinda weird

[hollow remnant]

why?

[strong ravine]

it’s just like

a little clunky

and feels slowish

[hollow remnant]

hmmm...

sounds like a skill issue 🤔

[strong ravine]

🗿

[hollow remnant]

but yeah, I get it

I like to use it because I like to "go not that fast"

[craggy wigeon]

It was offered at epic rarity I wasn’t not gonna take it

Also I didn’t run into ares, Dionysus, or Demeter soon enough who I probably would’ve chose over Poseidon

Also here’s this lmao, ninth clear, I had way too much fun with this one

Also almost sub-25 so that’s cool

Me just now realizing that was half of the time it took me to clear with the rail 💀

[hollow remnant]

btw, 50mins is kinda normal for new players

[hollow remnant]

next clear gonna be fire!

[strong ravine]

but it's tempest strike

[strong ravine]

pos atk is the worst attack in the game for every imaginable purpose

lowest % by far

and not flat

[hollow remnant]

counter-point;
sea storm is cool

[bold jolt]

big gaming

based 1:05 aspho

[strong ravine]

first hermes was RD

rolled over greater recall

[bold jolt]

did you get tart mirage

[strong ravine]

yea

[bold jolt]

that explains why you didn't reset after tart lmao

[strong ravine]

only reason i kept

yea

and a grasp

would have sub6 if not for so many god forlorn witches

also patty/midshop conflict in ely

[bold jolt]

honestly fair i kept my 2 min tart leave because of mirage lmao

[bold jolt]

oh unfortunate

close tho

[ivory sky]

uggggh thought i was gonna get a perfect clear against em4 with divine protection. made it to phase three then it got ruined by soul vases. i still don't think i've got a perfect em4 in all my runs

[ivory sky]

that's quite similar to a rama build I had yesterday. same attack, same ares setup, same hammers

[tulip glacier]

oh yeah, i even commented on your screenshot

[craggy wigeon]

Escape #10 and completion of the story

[strong ravine]

drunken strike widecharon3

[calm tangle]

Zag malfons/ME

[dull sluice]

I finally beat Hades and I did NOT expect the outcome. But I'm so proud of myself, I beat it in 31 minutes and on my first try in months. I'm happy :]

[strong ravine]

not even close

[bold jolt]

easy win

[strong ravine]

my pool isnt full 🗿

oh wait no

i sold tdash

after tart

[ashen elm]

Carried by the fun button 🌊

[strong ravine]

i always forget rip current exists

[ashen elm]

lots of luck

[strong ravine]

unmodded ap2 moment

[ashen elm]

spam rama special

[bold jolt]

dc2 is literally free on rama lmao

welp

unfortunate lmao

skill issue

[untold coyote]

oh my god

30+ seconds off my old pb

very nice poms ik

dont ask about the keepsake

barge 3 sack

i got barge and i thought "if i dont get chaos eurydice thanatos and a fountain in a row il reset" and i did

[bold jolt]

lmao big gaming

[untold coyote]

how do you get your victory screen to look like that

[ashen elm]

The skin? its a decoration from the house contractor you can buy

costs lots though

[untold coyote]

how much

[ashen elm]

my one is the chaos one, i think is 25k darkness

[untold coyote]

urghhhhhh

i thought the ranks mattered for story progress so i shoved like a bunch of darkness in there

25k is ages

[strong ravine]

everybody knows the best theme is that of Aphrodite

[west cargo]

Omgggg this build was so much. Fun

Constant aphro call was amazing

So many duo boons

[craggy wigeon]

First heated fists win

Tbh really surprised I got sub-30

[little prairie]

Fists go fast

[craggy wigeon]

Almost full ares build 🗿

[craggy wigeon]

Way too close

I struggle to believe that took 36 minutes I thought it took a lot longer

[bold jolt]

It's 36 minutes in game time

[verbal hemlock]

wow! finishing with 13 health! thats crazy omg good job! /g

the closest i've ever been was 5 health, iirc

[untold coyote]

didnt pom the heroic crush shot a single time

lmao

thats triggering

[bold jolt]

well it's not that important for arthur tho so it's fine

[ivory sky]

this run was one of my most memorable. charon bag in tart really made me pay both in time and hp. only bc of triple bomb was I able to phase/kill meg with basically 2 seconds left. then I get exclusive access and 2 dds back in ely. then beat em4 comfortably

basically "thanks athena"

wish I didn't have more trouble with charon than em4 hades but practice, practice

yeah, walking into meg with 15 seconds on the clock and under 50 hp made me think I wasn't gonna get to enjoy those

[strong ravine]

lol

[untold coyote]

i tried zap but tdash kept screwing me over so i sold it lmao wouldve gotten sub9 if i hadnt taken tdash

splitting bolt really didnt do anything

i got sea storm after i sold tdash 😭

which wouldve been so good with splitting bolt

[strong ravine]

rd styxshop

[bold jolt]

well hermes is right there so it's not that much of a stretch

also rd probably saved the what 2 second time loss

by a wide margin lmao

[untold coyote]

its still at most 5 seconds

[bold jolt]

yeah you lose marginal time

[strong ravine]

run was dead anyways lmao

i did it for whimsy

[bold jolt]

i mean you'd always buy styx hermes at that point in any run tbh

unless it's like beo/hera and you have mega juice i guess

i guess technically achilles too because hunting blades can phase

[strong ravine]

didn’t 185 go styx shopping

in 455

[bold jolt]

nope

[strong ravine]

i just always prep 500 gold

[faint glen]

first win at 32 heat

[strong ravine]

thats a mirror and pact

[faint glen]

i mean my first win in a 32 heat run

[strong ravine]

yeah

em4

of

auth

[faint glen]

yeh- finished it in like in 2-3 mins, why?

[strong ravine]

that’s basically a 40 win

i have no idea how u managed that many boons on of though

and auth

oh

rd

lmao

[little prairie]

Hey, those are the duos I always go for on chiron lol. I do enjoy me some em4 and rerolls for God for an appropriate fists attack

[left ridge]

This combo was very fun to play with, although a bit slow at the end
Dodge + blind + weak = very little damage despite playing melee

I only had 8% chance of being hit after a call if dad has the blind status curse

[little prairie]

Didn't even need ruthless reflex

[left ridge]

Ruthless reflex is only for gilgamesh :p

[strong ravine]

i know a certain player who might disagree

well maybe 3

and that’s it🗿

oh j guess shield

[little prairie]

Yo congrats

With no attack boon is funky

[bold jolt]

Beo doesn't really need an atk boon lol

[brazen minnow]

Although if you can have both cast and attack apply effects you can get the 40% damage buff from one rush

[primal crown]

heroic titan toppler carry

[ivory sky]

titan toppler?

[hollow jacinth]

Old early access name for divine dash

[untold coyote]

im just randomly able to consistently sub9 now ig

playing more worked whaddya know

[little prairie]

I'm getting out sped by a not even fully upgraded Demeter, gosh dang.

[bold jolt]

Tbf the Dem levels dont matter too much from 4 to 5 lmao

Prob some misc break points I guess

[west cargo]

This run made me happy

The unhealthy fixation plus the twin shot meant a 30 percent chance instead of 15 for charm

So awesome

[left ridge]

Bulky special

[little prairie]

Did you get offered only special hammers or were a you trying something new?

[left ridge]

Only special hammers

Even with all these boosts, the special was still only 8% of the dps

[little prairie]

Lol

What does feel good charges volley even look like and why can t you do it with charon? Do you just have to charm them to not hit you?

[left ridge]

Tbh charged volley chiron would be completely broken

First clear at 40 heat
Hestia special with Cluster bomb is completely broken, even without Rocket bomb

[primal crown]

Nice hestia run
Wait I forgot mods are a thing lmao

[left ridge]

Hestia does the opposite of Poseidon, it attract foes
And a very funny thing is that attracting foes can trigger the water blast, so it makes Styx extremely funny

[craggy wigeon]

I had a lot of fun with this one

Also new time record :00

[ashen elm]

I apologise to anyone with actual skill

[hollow jacinth]

Niiice

[ashen elm]

1 in 250 chance to get hit, i decided to ape it

[craggy wigeon]

Clear 15

[bold jolt]

ngl zag fists plume at 50 is extremely based

got the good boons too, evasion and swind

only thing missing is just jolted lol

[ashen elm]

worth noting it took me ~60 attempts for this miracle RNG to carry me

[bold jolt]

Ap2 moment

[strong ravine]

we were this close to greatness

[craggy wigeon]

Cleared the hades fight in like two minutes

[strong ravine]

did u actaully use the special stuff

[craggy wigeon]

Mostly just to set off the duo boon

I also had a boon that increased doom damage when stacked

[hollow remnant]

new PB with bow
(old time with bow was 14:53)
I love seen support fire everytime I load a cast

quite unlucky run btw
only saw pat and it was against the mid shop

[little prairie]

Lol nuff casts

And hyper delivery

[hollow remnant]

BRUH

This hera stuff is easy

[bold jolt]

lmao hera kinda good

[echo belfry]

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1858659339
Fresh File Normal Mode Down, full run

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1858699738
Fresh File Hell Mode Down, Full run 😄

man, once you practice a lot on hell mode, normal fresh file is a cake walk

[faint glen]

32 heat with merciful end

[faint glen]

32 heat with nemesis

[little prairie]

Knocking them down

[left ridge]

Interesting pact

Isn't EM4 melee way harder btw?

[faint glen]

it is, took like 7-ish tries with this build before i beat em4

worth it tho, so satisfying to see hades' hp go down so fast

[odd trail]

60thish run, shield with aspect of chaos, first time i reached the final boss

[ashen elm]

congrats on your first

[odd trail]

thank you!

[craggy wigeon]

Almost sub-20 RIP

[ivory sky]

raking in the goods

[strong ravine]

would have been a good build on zeus

[steep turret]

wooooooo Arthur is breddy good... must've squashed the heroes of elysium in 20 seconds flat

[strong ravine]

wait till u can do it in 4

[steep turret]

is that the record??

[strong ravine]

idk

not that hard to do though

[bold jolt]

bruh lmao "yeah it isn't that hard if you just get the boons"

[strong ravine]

well yeah its more dependent on ur build

[bold jolt]

i guess mechanically it's easy but like gl getting the build

[strong ravine]

once you have the build its basically free to execute

[steep turret]

let me guess, hunting blades?

[strong ravine]

no

hunting blades can do it decently fast

achilles lp is pretty speedy too

easiest way to get it is just beo though

also bananas is the boss sheet restricted for you too

[bold jolt]

idk i dont open that lmao

[lost crypt]

im being carried by athena

[hollow remnant]

She is the protector of new players 😇

btw

I JUST GOT 32 HEAT WITH THE SWORD, THE LAST ONE I NEEDED

[bold jolt]

big gaming

[hollow remnant]

I almost throwed this run taking basicaly all of one lazer atak from hades
but I managed to do it even with a heart running like hermes

[ivory sky]

nice, nemesis can be a lot of fun even tho I usually prefer swinging arthur around

[hollow remnant]

tottaly get it, big number do be cool

You can see I'm a bit biased for Nemesis, so, yeah 😅

[ivory sky]

who wouldn't be?

[strong ravine]

try em2 fo1

because it's funny

[hollow remnant]

like, for speeds, you mean? (asking to be sure )

[bold jolt]

might be because em3 sucks and taking fo1 hl5 is marginally funny

if it was for speed then it should be fo2 i would assume

[hollow remnant]

oooh, got it

oh...
I was confusing fo with td... sorry, i be stupid

I did this pack because I was avoiding fo, cuz I can do ok without the healing and overpriced stuff. but the speed buff makes me take too much dmg

buuut, I will try that, next step is getting better against fo

[west cargo]

Why would I want explosive return on Zeus? Isn’t the point supposed to be to leave the shield out for as long as possible

[strong ravine]

ER is zeus's best hammer if you're not doing charged shot

im pretty sure you basically spam special

[west cargo]

Interesting

[bold jolt]

That's an oversimplification of Zeus shield but yeah you do want to recall/catch it pretty often considering optimal Zeus play

[fast river]

My first win ,I thought It would be more stage so I save 1.5k gold

[primal crown]

Gg

[jagged rose]

Finally got 32 heat done with my pride and joy Hera Bow

[ivory sky]

couple of cast based em4 wins

[ivory sky]

...and a couple more

[little prairie]

You should try out stygian soul (the timer based cast refill)

[bold jolt]

stygian soul isn't good unless it's trippy flare

[hollow remnant]

shadow wizard money gang
we love casting stones

[little prairie]

But glacial glare

[bold jolt]

Oh meme beams too I forgot that existed

[little prairie]

How dare yoh

[ivory sky]

I just don't enjoy stygian soul even when it's actually better meta

with infernal I can either phase them or use them all for big number damage and I prefer it

[little prairie]

yeah but having 16 beams at once is very good feeling fair enough

I used to use it too much because having to go pick up stones scared me.

[ivory sky]

glacial glare beams, like you said, might be the one instance where it's more fun yeah. but still, can't be bothered to change the mirror. because effort

[left ridge]

And burst damage is fun

[strong ravine]

dont use for hb though

[little prairie]

hb?

[strong ravine]

hunting blades

[little prairie]

I should probably try out hb with infernal

[strong ravine]

it's significantly better

[little prairie]

neat

[little prairie]

kinda contrary to beams's whole vibe

lol

[ivory sky]

back to back ice wine, forgot to get a victory screen on the first but an anvil of fates was actually useful since it gave me triple bomb. demeter's hellfire is so pretty

[little prairie]

hellfire is a lot of pretty colours

[ivory sky]

dem's is the coolest looking imo but aph's is good too

[subtle rapids]

I only have 1 HEAT LVL 32 win screen but it was the with the most broken aspect in the game (imo) how ever i had hardly any boons for it at the end, the only reason i even won was probably because i had Apt Attack Duo special and their duo boon on Chiron Bow

[strong ravine]

yeah it’s rlly broken idk how they made it so bad 🗿

[subtle rapids]

The build was still missing several important boons as well which i might display in builds sometime

[little prairie]

I keep trying for 32 charon with that and keep not

[strong ravine]

easiest route is just low tolerance

even easier route is le rama

[little prairie]

I am big on the Rams atm

I think I just really like the controller feedback on Rama

[hollow remnant]

Well, I did lack a ton of dmg on hades... and I didnt had a meg to use on hades...
but this is the first try for a sub10, and I did beat my PB on sword (14:30)

[ivory sky]

rama does everything chiron does better tbh

nice, although imo hoarding slash is bs, unless it's for the fated list it's one of the hammers I'd avoid

30 strong drink damage is fun tho

[hollow remnant]

the other options were those that change my atak, so I didnt take it

[strong ravine]

yeah if ur offered up against world splitter and flurry slash it seems a lot more reasonable

[hollow remnant]

Well, i kinda like it.
I know its not good, but its at least more dmg... but that may be cuz my bar for sword hammers are on the ground

[bold jolt]

I wouldn't hoard gold for the bonus damage personally lmao

But also epic affluence kinda good

[hollow remnant]

oh, I only hoard with it for meme runs

chaos showed in good moments in this run, I love them <3

[subtle rapids]

I was thinking of Hera when you said that and got confused 😅, still i think Chiron requires less brain power than Rama

[ivory sky]

bombs away gaming

[ashen elm]

omg it happened

[ivory sky]

nice 50

more lasers

[ashen elm]

crit beams is actually mad

[vestal pagoda]

massive

[left ridge]

I didn't realise you couldn't pause while on the end screen
Second 40 heat clear, with Hera this time
Apollo carried me

[ivory sky]

wish Apollo's call allowed you to move around while using it

[hollow remnant]

BLOOD AND DARKNESS

I only needed one more free room on ely, 2sack instead of 4...
or maybe if I didnt used speacial so many times that I didnt needed....
well, it is fates fault anyway

[primal crown]

nice rd at 3rd hermes

[hollow remnant]

I got on the shop in styx, and the boost on dmg still surprised me

[bold jolt]

rd kinda strong lmao

but yeah ely and styx moment

[bold jolt]

sub8 achilles gaming

[left ridge]

Honestly it's already very strong, I don't think it should be any stronger lol

[bold jolt]

[hollow remnant]

YOOO, 8 MINS

[bold jolt]

not sub8 tho lmao

pain

mom pom throw

[ashen elm]

@rain ruin @hollow jacinth Cheers y'all for this degenerate victory

[hollow jacinth]

It’s Achilles for aotw over in the speedrunning server, you can post it there too!

[left ridge]

40 heat is brutal compared to 32 heat but I made it out with the spear

I ran out of time in Tartarus by 15s (aid saved me) and almost in Elysium too

Honestly I have no clue how I'll do for sword and fists, melee is so much harder when you ramp up the heat

There's clearly bow, rail and shield > spear, fists and blade

[hollow jacinth]

Not even close

[left ridge]

Not getting pat almost ruined the run

Literally one more mistake, one single different choice and I'd have lost

[bold jolt]

js3 might be the source of your time problems lmao

[left ridge]

Yeah but it's just picking my poison, I don't really see how any other condition would make it better

[bold jolt]

cf2 at the very least probably lmao

or ap1

i generally take hs and ap1 to get out of any js levels

[left ridge]

Honestly on my previous attempts I really struggled to get hunting blades, so cf2 / ap1 would have made it even worse
I think it's actually the first of somewhere between 5-10 attempts that I actually get the duo

[strong ravine]

well it doesnt help if ur opening all these other fancy mod duos

but yeah shrimple is just something along the lines of hl5 lc4 cf2 em3 bp2 mm uc fo2 ap1 td3

ive only done 1 40 heat so idrk

[left ridge]

The thing is that in those other runs I did my best not to open any duos and even when I did open them, I didn't get any
So I get your point, but I really just got very unlucky in several runs in a row and didn't want to reduce my luck even more

[autumn bronze]

5:35 ely exit
3 sack + 3 darknesses

[bold jolt]

it do be like that

[hollow remnant]

no sisi, no eurydice, 1 free room in ely
I left ely with 7:37
no impendin doo, no rush delivery
4sack
is this a good time for my circumstances?

[strong ravine]

i mean 4 chaos is 4 chaos but also just reset if the runs that bad

[hollow remnant]

strong drink was at 6% btw

[bold jolt]

i mean yeah that's pretty solid lmao you just got shafted by styx

7:37 ely leave is kinda on track for a sub10 run assuming 2 sack

~1 min styx, rest of the time for dad fight

[untold coyote]

Cant tell cos i wouldve given up at elyssium but seems good

New spear PB (old was 14:14:29)
The spear is growing on me, was my less favourite weapon for a long time, I just had to get gud with it 😅

[bold jolt]

achilles kinda hard

very gaming

rip jolted poms

[hollow remnant]

I got jolted at styx, flurry jab at ely

[bold jolt]

oh lmao makes sense

[ivory sky]

fun beo run

[hollow remnant]

those doons be boonming

[strong ravine]

lightning strike without flurry 🗿

not worth using

[hollow remnant]

learned that today :D

but that run was just for fun tho

[strong ravine]

sub6 #2

[grizzled orbit]

pride gaming

[bold jolt]

wide gaming

[hollow jacinth]

Good build

This is flurry

[strong ravine]

[hollow jacinth]

Ur mom is winning ct rn lmao

[strong ravine]

[hollow jacinth]

🫨

[strong ravine]

i spied on her discord and apparently green or yellow or something were playing into their hands

[hollow jacinth]

How dare they

[hollow remnant]

Woke up early today, made a nemesis run, terrible
took my meds, made some chimarrao, tried a run with achilles. still terrible gameplay, but I got a PB atleast
Yor folks guide carried tho

[autumn bronze]

[bold jolt]

achilles moment

instead of starting with tidal dash just get it later duh

[strong ravine]

Nice poms

[bold jolt]

thanks

3 of them were from eury lmao

[left ridge]

No mirage shot, no charged shot, no pat and yet I somehow made it out without even using my sd
40 heat with the shield

I did around 10 failed runs in a row, I really wasn't expecting this one to work

[west cargo]

Pretty much depended on lightning rod the whole time

[hollow remnant]

based rod run

[grizzled jasper]

how much special damage u want

YES

[west cargo]

Oh lord HOW MUCH

Also hades kinda just…. Melted.

I accidentally still had moms pomegranate equipped when I started so I got level 6 drunken strike before I left Tartarus

[bold jolt]

Lmao that's probably like the one good use for mom pom

[boreal silo]

I’m beat hades for the first time ever on god mode 😭😭😭

@bold jolt you’re a lucky charm

[bold jolt]

cursed build but very nice

[boreal silo]

What did I do now? Lol

[bold jolt]

heartbreak strike on rail and hazard bomb on eris lmao

[real widget]

eris clockets + aphro special

[left ridge]

40 heat fists escape

Had a better build and more fun with earlier runs but getting pat & another sd from Athena changes everything

[ashen elm]

wow that build is actually insane

[meager trench]

My highest heat with any weapon (shield) was 19 and me and a friend were talking about how insane 32 heat was so I did it on a whim and 💀

[primal crown]

Zeus gaming

Also it's been a while since I see someone with bright so high

[meager trench]

It comes back to bite me when I get Athena’s aid and the screen turns into a flash bang every time I use it

[ashen elm]

Makes lightning strikes more realistic

[bold jolt]

that pact is lowkey a 40 heat pact lmao

with some like 1 major exception lmao

[little prairie]

No timer gang

[meager trench]

Huh? Sorry I don’t get what you mean
