[hollow jacinth]

You’ve got enough damage without the call

[dense wadi]

I think they were going for a good time so they wouldn’t care about defensiveness

[hollow jacinth]

Acorn is good for speed too, stops you getting hit stunned and keeps up high confidence

If you’ve got the damage, dad call doesnt really matter

(For dio beo)

[dense wadi]

Eh

Guess it’s opinion more than anything

Call makes you invincible too so it can skip certain attacks

[hollow jacinth]

Like, this was 27.xx with a darkness. It would’ve been slower with dad call instead of acorn

[kind lichen]

hmmm, I could see that since call didn't do much

and I'm still not good at dodging

[feral quiver]

5 sack and charon

[proper sparrow]

First time heat 6. Just wanted to get "Champion of Elysium". No idea how I accumulated so much HP

[quiet lark]

those gods are probably the worst ones you could get
jazz is probably dying

i think you just took a couple centaur hearts

This was the most overpowered I've ever been

Constant stun + Relentless Volley + Special Speed + LIGHTNING BOLTS

[strong ravine]

is this the same run twice

[minor widget]

Yes

[strong ravine]

why

[minor widget]

Showing the diff parts that contributed to the run

[strong ravine]

the boons are all on the side

[feral quiver]

I died a little seeing Poseidon attack with twin shot

[strong ravine]

there are a lot of die inside moments on this screen

[hollow jacinth]

Nice gods pride

[kind lichen]

more like fake pride

all boons at the start were common

[hollow jacinth]

Dio beo you want mirage, poms and stones, and gods pride doesnt help you get any of these

[quaint onyx]

why didnt i get offered jolted

like those are all the zeus boons i got

kinda sad

60% double strike chance is goated tho

plus rly good luck on the hammers

[ember heart]

But wasn’t there an issue with Chiron special and lightning? Like it being too quick for the cool-down, so that not all special arrows make a lightning?

[strong ravine]

yea

[quaint onyx]

hmm odd

the damage output seemed pretty good tho ngl

[quiet lark]

this was a little too easy

note: i fullcleared styx to try and get swift strike because i though this was em4

[polar lantern]

My first 32 heat clear!

[kind lichen]

are switch ss just like that?

[ember heart]

Perhaps it’s a perfect picture of his switch

[polar lantern]

No, the editor in chief at Mac stories made a shortcut for Apple devices that adds the switch frame to switch screenshots. I love how it makes switch screenshots look so I run it on my iPhone before I post screenshots from my switch

[kind lichen]

ic

[quaint onyx]

incredibly satisfying dad fight, only i wish i had quick reload (also my bow PB teehee)

[strong ravine]

increase ur game volume and decrease system/application volume

having the volume that low breaks sound effects

as u can hear

[quaint onyx]

thats not the issue

[strong ravine]

it is

[quaint onyx]

the issue is i compressed the original mp4 file

from 300 mb to 19 mb

[strong ravine]

im 90% sure its the in game volume

that is the exact effect that happens when the volume is low

[bold jolt]

what sound is breaking

[strong ravine]

sound effects r muted and cut off

[bold jolt]

ah yeah

i dont really notice the cut off but also my game volume is pretty low

def a bit muted tho

[bold jolt]

Aspect of charged shot

[quiet lark]

somehow i did really good on dad, it was gorgon->ball

[bold jolt]

Nice td3 time

[minor widget]

King of the Raw

Big slappy

[minor widget]

There's an internal cooldown for bolt-strikes but Double Strike is pretty good for breaking past that

[quiet lark]

another td3 time and amazing em4 performance

[bold jolt]

nice td3 time

[quaint onyx]

ye the 60% double strike definitely helped a lot

[feral quiver]

1 hit run, god damn pink head lernie is cringe

[kind lichen]

FINALLY

so close lmao

i'll def practice hades with this savestate

[brazen minnow]

Nice sub 8

Still gotta get to a sub 10 myself

[ember heart]

This would’ve been sub 11 if I wasn’t 3-sacked, but I’m proud of defeating hades in 49 seconds

[kind lichen]

nice

purple ID is rare to see

[ember heart]

Too rare

[hollow jacinth]

Nice

Interesting how English says “lv” for level but German says “lvl”

[dense wadi]

Oh yeah

never noticed that

[ember heart]

True

[open ledge]

i just fought hades for the first time and won :)

[dense wadi]

Congrats!

[open ledge]

what's the skull on fire?

[dense wadi]

Heat, its the difficulty modifier youll unlock soon

boonless mirrorless when

When i’m not dead at aspho 3 times in the row

Aspho does not play nice without sd

[bold jolt]

aspho is just not nice tbh

[strong ravine]

issue was always ely for me

took good enemies

[feral quiver]

shield can handle most of them, td2 is kinda comfy

[strong ravine]

i did hestia

only 33 tho

i sucked lol

[feral quiver]

@bold jolt insert image pls

this was in like february

that was when i had to struggle in a 50 heat run lol

i had 3 gods for the entirety of the run(minus the dad fight, where i bought ddash)

also ignore the extra 1 heat

[feral quiver]

the reverse chiron

[burnt ember]

Sorry for taking a picture of the TV cuz I didn't want to get the screenshot from my Switch but this was a super fun Zeus build! I don't think Theseus has ever died quicker lol

[silver trench]

Awesome crystal run

[pliant ruin]

I'm relatively new to the game but I was bored and did a 0 boon run

[silver trench]

The luckiest run I have ever gotten
Chiron with Tempest Flourish + Sea Storm is insane
Second Wave and Splitting Bolt just makes it even better

[quiet lark]

mett;e

[primal crown]

Funny orange boon

[quiet lark]

and spearpoint and the mirror

but that speed is quite nice considering chiron

[ember heart]

This would’ve been a new pb and probably a sub 10 if I wasn’t 4-sacked but I was 0.210 seconds too slow

Great boons tho

[obsidian crag]

first win!

How in hades do people clear it so fast

[dense wadi]

Lot of practice

youll get there

[meager torrent]

that is good ??

i just doe that and its fun

and it's so simple to play

[hard rampart]

hands shaking

[bold jolt]

Gaming

[meager torrent]

are you playing with the shield technique??!!

[hard rampart]

Dash y dash y dash y dash y?

[ember heart]

He means special

[meager torrent]

I play the click, it's more fun lol

[ember heart]

Special is kinda bad on every shield except Zeus

[hard rampart]

There was a lot of casts though I got a good one

[ember heart]

Since when you throw the shield you don’t have a shield to attack anymore

[hard rampart]

Plus Athena aid so main attack hold forward

[ember heart]

You don’t need the Athena aid for that, you’re invulnerable during the rush

[meager torrent]

I don't like Zeus because you just have to wait for your shield to do everything and I don't find that very funny

[ember heart]

You don’t really wait, you throw close to the enemy, wait for a few hits call it back, another few hits (hopefully explosive return) and repeat, it doesn’t take that long and the enemy can’t evade the shield that quick you can consistently get some hits like that

[meager torrent]

yes but you basically just wait on the side and I don't really like that

[ember heart]

You do realise you can still do stuff right? It’s not like the usual shield where you throw your shield and it’s gone, you can still attack with the shield while you’re shield is midair, you basically have two shields, one flying thing and one normal

[meager torrent]

yes but the problem is that I have a lot of trouble switching between attack and technique

[ember heart]

It needs some getting used to, but it’s easier than a lot of other stuff and has good damage

It’s worth trying it

[feral quiver]

I wouldn’t say it’s easier, yes you can halfass it and make it work

But it’s a tricky aspect

[ember heart]

I dare say it’s easier than playing chaos or eris

[meager torrent]

yes but it will take me a long time to get used to it and above all I have not improved the appearance of zeus

[feral quiver]

Nah, eris is literally turn of aim at mouse and go ape mode

Win

[ember heart]

Don’t judge a book by its cover

[feral quiver]

Chaos is 🚮

[ember heart]

How do you make use of the buff? Like do you just go close to enemies or?

[feral quiver]

Yeah, pretty much

[meager torrent]

I would like to try some run like that and I will tell you if it suits me or if the Zagreus aspect is better for me

ok ??

[feral quiver]

Just go ape and kill them, the best defense is a good offense

[ember heart]

Alright, I’ll give it a try then, can’t be much worse than my no reload Hestia runs

[meager torrent]

but I'll do my runs tomorrow because it's late at home

[ember heart]

Sure

[meager torrent]

ok a good night tomorrow

[meager torrent]

add me

[slow falcon]

first 32 heat victory!!!!

[primal crown]

gg and bocchi pfp!

[quiet lark]

gg, plus it was with a unique pact and weapon thats considered unoptimal

a partial lc is quite rare

[slow falcon]

look i'm gonna be honest the pact setup comes from that one haelian video on 32 heat pact setups

[slow falcon]

[dense wadi]

It’s a good source! Nothing to be ashamed of

[slow falcon]

the 40% forced overtime was like reeally hard to adjust to but i think adjusting to it now is definitely helpful

[primal crown]

Nice chaos boons too

[slow falcon]

i tried tight deadline 3 a bit at the start, i can do low heat runs under 20 mins very consistently but i ended up dropping it fairly quickly cus it was making me rush and make mistakes too much on 32

[hard rampart]

got an insane build

smoldering plus posiden just shreds

imagine if it was like zeus call or smth

[strong ravine]

yeah smoldering zeus is rlly good

[quiet lark]

second wind when

[quaint onyx]

if only i had gotten the 2sack...

[feral quiver]

rama with anvil, name a more iconic duo

[golden peak]

Eris hazard bomb

[obsidian crag]

managed to improve by 3 minutes

[ember heart]

Good

[feral quiver]

rama on controller is banger

[feral quiver]

funny you say that, I've just got a run killed because of eris hazard bom

[kind lichen]

ap2 who

[golden peak]

I remember a run where I was forced into hazard bomb but then got forced into rare hyper delivery

[pliant ruin]

Incredibly lucky rail clear + a 3 minute pb improvement, no doubt I can do better I'm just achievement hunting atm before I start working on faster times (also got a 16 min sword clear later on so everything is slowly going lower)

[signal rock]

Second Skelly challenge in the bag! Got lucky with some killer duos. Never expected the shield to be my best weapon...

[quiet lark]

funny pact and mirror

also, you want to pom doom instead of special for me, or just run zeus special

[hard rampart]

first finish with sword

[quaint onyx]

i have no idea on how to run arthur

[ember heart]

I think no one does

[primal crown]

that's pretty much the build

could've add zeus call for smair

[quaint onyx]

ayy!

ye i didnt add the call since i was on my hoarding slash diet

[bold jolt]

does hoarding slash damage get affected by rd or no

[strong ravine]

no

[bold jolt]

amazing

[quaint onyx]

yummy

i wonder if the shackle is any good here

[kind lichen]

dio beo ftw

prolly my fastest dad at 34s

[hollow jacinth]

Sick

[feral quiver]

EA carried

[pliant ruin]

was not prepared to just get a random pb

[little prairie]

Switch photo sharing not working

(got 4 sacked too but hyper deliv goes fast)

[burnt ember]

I took explosive on rama and didn't die

[quaint onyx]

explosive+ twin

that arrow drawing speed must be crazyyyy

[primal crown]

Twin doesn't make the charge slower but yeah exploding rama funny

[quaint onyx]

yes ik but in terms of range too

thats what i meant mb

[strong ravine]

96

[quaint onyx]

when the aspect is of beowulf!

booted up my laptop to find myself in a random chamber in tartarus so i just finished the run

First 40 heat victory

Went totally yolo, build is half cursed

First time really using blade dash, it absolutely kills me that the AoE is just shy of covering the distance between two dashes without black metal

So you can end up dashing back and forth around a mob and not hitting it once

also holy hades JS and CP are so harsh, I can't understand why they don't give more heat

[strong ravine]

hl4 cf2 hmm

[pallid sundial]

oh yeah, forgot about that

tbh CF2 is not that bad, even if I should have maxed HL instead for sure

btw I went in blind with the pact, if you've got any tips feel free

[quiet lark]

em4 is cool

[pallid sundial]

it genuinely is

I wouldn't say it's easy though

[bold jolt]

your pact is basically the standard 40 pact but instead of hl5 cf1 you have hl4 cf2 lmao

[ashen elm]

Ayo

[pallid sundial]

GG !

[ashen elm]

The damage was disgusting, think I've become a beo addict

[bold jolt]

big gaming

turn off tight deadline btw, that turns off the 45 sec survival chamber in tart

and that pauses the in game timer

[quiet lark]

or be cool and do em4

[ashen elm]

was actually just grinding heat damn that's some igt tech

[feral quiver]

based first 40

[golden peak]

all fists 45 done

[feral quiver]

aspect of rod, I'm never touching fist at 50 ever again

[golden peak]

Plume 💀

Wtf

Thunder daysh what is this build

[feral quiver]

nah, I started attack and got rod in tart

zeus into arty into arty miniboss

So I just take plume from asphodel for RD lmao

[pliant ruin]

first 32 clear and somehow also deathless I am probably never doing that again

[pallid sundial]

DC2 on beo sounds painful lol

[pliant ruin]

it was at the start but pretty managable throughout part of asphodel and elysium

in hindsight I could have probably used a better mirror/pact setup but I just threw on whatever to get a feel for it

[golden peak]

Plume from asphodel only gives 13%?

[feral quiver]

yeah I skip a bunch of room

[golden peak]

I know

They kept it until the end of the run, that's what I was commenting on

[feral quiver]

I ended up got bballs so plume is better lmao

I think I dodged a pot fwiw

[golden peak]

U can dodge

[pallid sundial]

Dodging lava sounds like a Chad move

On the same level as parrying fall damage

[golden peak]

I meant. Regular traps. Lol

[west cargo]

Love this

[strong ravine]

meowulf ftw

[primal crown]

Meow

[signal rock]

I did finish the run, but damn did I feel like Meryl Streep in Sophie's Choice here...!!

[signal rock]

[feral quiver]

Spoiler alert: all of them suck

[signal rock]

HAHAHAHA

[feral quiver]

But nice rainbow 🌈

[signal rock]

[feral quiver]

Vicious Cycle
Adds 2 damage per hit to Ares’ Aid as intended, but only 1 to slicing shot and blade dash and does not work at all for slicing flare.

Freezing vortex <<<<<<< hunting blade

Replace is whatever

[signal rock]

Is Ares useful at all when playing with Priviledged Status? It's fine when it's part of quick attacks but are Doom effects applied to the 40% damage increase if they're the status effect applying PS?

Or would I need somthing like Hangover + Freeze to make that Doom damage larger?

[feral quiver]

Doom get pstatus damage but pstatus is just too inconsistent compared to fam favor

[signal rock]

I know FF is preferred by most people, but doing the math you'd get +40% dmg for collecting all 8 gods which is near impossible. Vs. having two gods with innate status effect damage, if not a simple buff to add Jolted/Exposed/etc. Even if my run isn't focus on status effect dmg, it usually helps at some point or another.

I dunno, my mirror combos are weird.

[feral quiver]

15% additive is whatever

Pstatus forces you take unnecessary boons for curse

[hot dagger]

Plus Pstatus needs a ton of time to activate per enemy

[signal rock]

Is there a delay beyond when the status effect is shown by their health bar?
I used to use Family Favor so it should be a non-issue switching back to it.

[pallid sundial]

You usually need 2 or more hits to get pstatus, when your goal in a significant amount of cases is to kill with 2-3 attacks.

FF gives damage on those first couple attacks, privileged does not.

25% on attacks you do is more than 40% on attacks you don't do

[signal rock]

That makes sense.

[quiet lark]

the main arguments against pstatus are:

1. too much effort to try and activate it without dashes
2. tart/asph are harder/slower most of the time

CLEARED

[primal crown]

Gg

[lunar peak]

now I can sleep peacefully knowing that people would no longer make fun of me on the best heat cleared

I know you guys have cleared 40, 50, and possibly 63 heat

but I did 32 and I'm proud of it

[hard solar]

Though nobody's making fun of anyone about their heat level really.

[copper crescent]

yayay

first 32 heat run :)

[ember heart]

Perfect attempt

[quiet lark]

nobody tell them about angelic and mysterra

[feral quiver]

They’re chinese, they even know about ykc

The original zeus main

[lunar peak]

i know of 64 heat

[lunar peak]

thanks

[bold jolt]

do you know of 82 heat tho

[lunar peak]

I binged the entire 63heat playlist

[quiet lark]

angelic and mysterra do count as "we"

[lunar peak]

nah, I was addressing the frequently active users on this server

[quiet lark]

since they are in this server and angelic has been existant

[lunar peak]

ah, beowulf isn't it

can guess even without unyielding defense

[quiet lark]

"FORM: ASPECT OF BEOWULF"
-the records

[lunar peak]

didn't see it

anyways, why sisyphus though

[quiet lark]

free stuff

[lunar peak]

I thought meg/than are the good ones

damage

[quiet lark]

they are for damage, but shady isnt too far off

and the lc2 means food is actually relevant

[copper crescent]

yeah just for the food

[lunar peak]

i also took lc2

but

meg better

than is fun though

it's harder to use, but it's really good

especially in ely arena

[quiet lark]

than is good if you dont know how to meg

[minor widget]

250th clear

[unique oak]

FIRST 32 HEAT CLEAR!!

[bold jolt]

gamer

bold choice with js3 td3 lmao

[lunar peak]

hestia?

interesting

[lunar peak]

yeah

that's gotta be hard

[bold jolt]

tbh it's not that bad on hestia, it's just a little bold for a first 32 imo lmao

[lunar peak]

interesting in not taking bp2

bp2 is pretty easy

[bold jolt]

sometimes bp2 is cringe

especially in tartarus

or any witch having the seeker perk

[lunar peak]

although

why lc1

[golden peak]

i have enough bp2 clips to make a compilation

[lunar peak]

that's such an interesting choice

I thought I was the one that really liked healing and took lc2 instead of 4 like people usually do

[bold jolt]

considering the rest of the pact, there's nowhere else to put 1 heat to make it lc0 lmao
hs exists but also lc1 is a better take for that

[lunar peak]

well, I did use dd at the time

[lunar peak]

hs is cringe

[bold jolt]

without guides, no one takes lc4

[lunar peak]

asphodel magma suddenly turns deadly

with hs

[bold jolt]

dad pot for 150 is fun

[lunar peak]

although, is hs combatable with sf

sure footing

hs basically forces you to take sf right?

[bold jolt]

not really

[lunar peak]

well, not stepping in traps is hard though

also, why isn't EM4 the meta for 32heat

[bold jolt]

i mean you gotta learn to not step into traps lmao

[lunar peak]

em4 is still not that hard for 4 heat

for 4 heat you could get lc4ed

[bold jolt]

i'd rather take an athena core to open up DDs than hs

or ddash

[bold jolt]

it's difficult when you add other pacts on top of that

[lunar peak]

em4 + hl5 + fo2

[bold jolt]

yeah that's the difficult part lmao

[golden peak]

yes

• hs

[bold jolt]

lc4

less effective hp going into it rather than DDs

[lunar peak]

= when dad remembers his belt

em4 + hl5 + fo2 + sf = much more scary em4

[bold jolt]

if you really want to take a normal em4 fight, you'd have to take like ri and ap to debuff yourself so em4 isn't jacked dad

[lunar peak]

although

charon with hl5 + fo2 is also very scary

[bold jolt]

at that point your build is just shafted so have fun with that

[lunar peak]

ah yes: get smacked by his oar twice for 200 damage

as dionysus would say: that is positively smashing man

[burnt ember]

This is quite possibly the most synergistic build I've ever had lol
Styx was easier than it's ever been before; literally just dashing into enemies was usually enough to kill them with this loadout and it was GLORIOUS

Also sorry for the non-screenshot I'm feeling lazyyy

[feral quiver]

50 heat best heat, dionysus best god

[burnt ember]

AYYO that's actually bonkers

[feral quiver]

yeah, I'm literally addicted with Dionysus Aid

best boon in the game for me

[burnt ember]

Dio call is a beautiful thing

It just melts everything

[golden peak]

idk it doesnt give me that instant gratification that zeus aid does

[feral quiver]

zeus' aid is cool but the range is just too small to reliably hit dad

[golden peak]

not playing directly on top of hades cant relate

[feral quiver]

and dio call charge itself so it's pretty much up all the time

[bold jolt]

aspect of dio call fr

[golden peak]

do shackle dio call

50

[feral quiver]

50 shackle would need ap2 instead of em4, getting dio call is kinda problematic

or ri2 but I hate ri2

[lunar peak]

imagine going into charon while under a stacked chaos curse of taking +90% damage and hl5

that oar's gotta slap

[low meteor]

I wouldn't have achieved this if it weren't for Patroclus, also Ares Duo's deal nasty damage.

[hollow lagoon]

not a victory, but, a glimse of the staggering 6 duo boons i had (before they were lost)

[ember heart]

Everything was perfect about this, except my own skill but it’s nice to know that rng can be on your side (also heroes pb with 17 seconds)

[gusty birch]

FIRST 32 HEAT

[ember heart]

Congrats

[ember heart]

Yay pb even tho it was 3 sack

[dense wadi]

Nice! So close to sub 10

[ember heart]

Soon I’ll have it

[ivory sky]

needs more duos

[ember heart]

Yeah

[quiet lark]

ice wine ruins mirage shot bug sadly

[ivory sky]

i did not know that

i wasn't going for dem but she showed up anyway

[pallid sundial]

mfw the bugs are buggy

[ember heart]

What does lightning rod even do 😭

[pallid sundial]

pretty green screen

the most important role

[ember heart]

Ah yes how could I have forgotten

[ivory sky]

it's good but useless with beo. i took it bc it was there and pretty screen

[ivory sky]

e g g

only a few prophecies left on this save

[deep fjord]

first run in a long time, basically the ideal ME build

[ember heart]

It is a really good build

But one thing that might still improve it would be rush delivery

[deep fjord]

yeah but rush delivery is basically impossible to get with my luck
i swear i've only actually gotten it like twice

oh also i missed that doom stacking boon

[ember heart]

Yeah that doesn’t matter that much tho, you don’t get many hits in

[ember heart]

I know how it feels, you just gotta have some rerolls and 500 coins for end Styx shop and a bit of luck

[deep fjord]

i didn't roll hermes at styx shop sadly
i had like 450 coins going into styx so i could have gotten it

[ember heart]

Unlucky

[pallid sundial]

that's how I feel but with basic ME

[rain ruin]

@bold jolt

we got em

I don’t think im ever gonna recover from that usage of those emojis

[pallid sundial]

You haven't been on the internet enough if you never seen those emojis like that before

I know the meme

It’s just

I was not expecting that

[heady oracle]

we've bagged 16min thanks to this server yayy

[strong ravine]

the mirror ever

[quaint onyx]

imagine this build without heart rend and without EM4

also 20 heat done on all weapons!!!

[autumn bear]

picked up the game after a really long time and went back to one of my favorite builds, trippy shot hera bow

[pallid sundial]

trippy hera bow fun indeed

[silk belfry]

Got to heat 20 thanks to the guides of @bold jolt and @fickle knot so ty very much

[golden peak]

this doesnt look like zagbow ngl

strong drink billowing family fav kinda common rd

[hard solar]

Practicing Hell Mode EM4. Closer than I'd have liked.

[bold jolt]

Not even close

Btw if you wanna use trippy flare on beo, stygian soul is better than infernal

[gentle swan]

fellas.

i present to you.

the worst run in history of this game

you might be wondering, what went wrong

and i do not know the answer to that.

[tired shoal]

Is this an allistic joke I’m too autistic to understand? Where’s the bad?

[ember heart]

I guess it makes the ability from Poseidon useless even tho the boost is still nice and exit wounds becomes useless, even tho I don’t think there is exit wounds in that build

[tired shoal]

What does?

[digital jackal]

curse of drowning

makes poseidon aspect pointless

[tired shoal]

F

[ember heart]

Except for the percentage boost

[tired shoal]

y?

[digital jackal]

???

no dislodge

[ember heart]

40% cast damage is still good no?

[digital jackal]

well yeah

[ember heart]

I mean for this build it was arguably still the best aspect just for that reason

[primal crown]

Achilles:

[gentle swan]

the amount of boons (6 god pool 💀), rare lv2 poseidon on a cast run, heroic attack and special, random ass hammers i took just for prophecies and pressure points being purely cosmetic

was still doing pretty good damage, somehow

[digital jackal]

for me the biggest problem would be the actual curse of drowning cast, I hate it

[gentle swan]

was my first time using it

3x dps

(worry not, im cooking up another devious run)

[tired shoal]

U can’t disl- OH YEAH!!!!

[gentle swan]

yeah, cod just drops the casts on the ground

[ember heart]

Now that thing with mirage shot tho

6 per cast

Right?

[gentle swan]

was going for mirage but didnt get it

☹️

[ember heart]

You’ll get them next time

[gentle swan]

surely:)

[primal crown]

Cod blocks it

[gentle swan]

oh!

[ember heart]

Oh

[gentle swan]

that explains!

[ember heart]

Does Cod work with beo?

Bc

That’s basically beo no?

[primal crown]

Yeah but with cshot it still pops at your feet

[ember heart]

So you can get three flares in one cast?

[gentle swan]

sounds like it

[ember heart]

Why would anyone go for mirage then tho?

It’s 100% vs 200%

[hollow jacinth]

Over a longer time than mirage

And completely removes your range

[ember heart]

Oh

Yeah

That makes sense

[gusty birch]

I think I don t have enough tankiness

[ember heart]

god mode

[tired shoal]

[stray hull]

Lmao chiron room 7 (second win)

[burnt ember]

drunken dash = top tier boon

[primal crown]

Gg

[dense wadi]

I once did this build but left em4 on by accident

I couldn’t out damage his healing

[burnt ember]

FeelsBadMan

Also I totally forgot EM4 heals

[dense wadi]

It’s not a big deal until it’s a big deal

[burnt ember]

I'm glad I did it at a pretty low heat, cuz all things considered I don't think this build is particularly heat resilient

[quiet lark]

wdym its perfect for heat 58

[pallid sundial]

Heat 58 makes you die, drunken dash only makes you die, a match made in Olympus

[hollow osprey]

gg

[tired shoal]

Insane 1st win

[pallid sundial]

Wow yeah

Is it your first win ever or just on that playthrough?

[kind lichen]

daily sub-8 attempt

also fastest tart yet

got 4 skips lmao

[polar glacier]

wait if ur using flood flare for beo wont the first cast just knock the enemy away and all the others wont hit

[primal crown]

it barely has knockback

it doesn't even trigger sea storm

[barren vessel]

ye the knockback is extremely minimal on flood flare

[ember heart]

And they also come in rather quickly

[west cargo]

It doesn’t?

[ember heart]

Unfortunately not

[bold jolt]

the only time flood flare knockback is relevant is if you hit the enemy at the very edge of the flare lmao

[ember heart]

Doesn’t bull rush do more knockback than flood flare?

[ivory sky]

the achilles run was obviously more fun

[stuck jackal]

letsgooo, first completed run with extreme measures \o/

yes, I am inept with anything but the shield.

stupid shield 🥲

defo some suboptimal boons but I best I could get ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[quiet lark]

dark foresight is much better than olympian favor

anyways🎉, aspectless on em so early is quite difficult

[stuck jackal]

noted.

[minor widget]

IT'S BLOODY RAWWWW

[primal crown]

This is like the one I'd love to see artemis attack on it lmao

[hard solar]

Shackle shenanigans

[hard solar]

But you got the comedy dialog about the Chariot at least.

[stuck jackal]

Aye

[gusty birch]

only epic boon (almost)

[stuck jackal]

Je ne sais pas, je suis un cornichon

[snow hull]

beat 20 heat!!

[kind lichen]

daily sub-8 attempt

[gusty birch]

special delivery

[bold jolt]

Special delivery but not a rush delivery

[strong ravine]

big 100

[violet bloom]

is that fast

[strong ravine]

not particularly

but its fast enough to go on the thing

and count

as my 100th thing

[lunar peak]

Hell mode 32 heat https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2295210273344315400/625F82588F665ED43848222E92AE8DC65B82B646/

(I'm using dark regen instead of chthonic vitality to encourage the use of troves for chaotic theme/resource director)

(I could probably do better if i used casts too lol)

[strong ravine]

i think the main thing that would help is using the aspect of not chiron

[tired shoal]

No shade, just true.

[pearl rain]

the odds were with me

[lunar peak]

Chiron bow is the weapon/aspect I'm best at and I haven't unlocked all of rama this file shrug

[strong ravine]

https://youtu.be/_a_n1mV7J1o

[hollow jacinth]

100 sub 6s = 1 sub 5 gg

[bold jolt]

If only the 100th sub6 with a sub5

[strong ravine]

this actually apparently was my 99th

because there were 2 doubled runs

lol

[bold jolt]

Oh based

Make the 100th a sub4

[violet bloom]

is that fast

[bold jolt]

Just a tad fast

[tired shoal]

They’re just too powerful, there’s no hope.

[icy cloak]

I decided halfway through the run to try to beat 24 minutes. I think I got it

[quiet lark]

interesting end screen you got there

fun fact: click on an effect in the mirror to switch to a different effect

(use dark foresight and persuasion please)

[strong ravine]

Not steaked sub5s smh

awesome

Blimey! And with decent time to spare.

Heroic double strike too

I am counting this as a victory screen

Baby's first 32 heat 🎉

[brazen minnow]

Damn you did EM4?

With CP too?

[dense wadi]

Must’ve been a hard dad fight

[gusty birch]

[ashen anchor]

Better than AP, lol.

[bold jolt]

ap1 isn't even that bad lmao

[strong ravine]

also its 32

neither of these are necessary

[brazen minnow]

FIRST SUB 10

AND ITS SUB 9:30

[ember heart]

And you defeated hades no hit?

[brazen minnow]

Actually yeah

[ember heart]

Congrats man

[brazen minnow]

made up for the 4 sack that stole it from me last time

Wanted to get this done before hades 2

Next is beat 50 heat

[quiet lark]

dont acorn

[brazen minnow]

Why not

I’m not at the point I can just not get hit

[strong ravine]

use dad call

you got hit 5 times

why do you need acorn

]

[icy cloak]

This build was kind of filthy

[quiet lark]

going for 20000 different builds at the same time and not completing any of them

you got me, zeus and drowning build

[icy cloak]

I don’t actually know of any builds yet. I’m still just messing around and finding what I like. It was the most damage I’ve had

[ivory sky]

somehow i never got zag stuck on the stun animation before

sometimes hades' spear sticks around too if you kill him right after he throws it

[chrome cape]

My second attempt at 16 heat (lost to Theseus while using the blade the 1st time). It was also my first time fighting the 4th lvl of extreme measures, really cool fight.

I love the aspect of Lucifer.

Used the pierced butterfly bc I didn't have the 30% achievement yet and wanted to get that one too while I was at it.

[gentle swan]

new pb, by a whole
15 seconds?

[gentle swan]

triple bomb lucifer is hot

[chrome cape]

Targetting system is a bit harder to hit (not really in this case at least) with the smaller special but it was the cherry on top.

[gentle swan]

thats why you get 3!!

[chrome cape]

[ivory sky]

triple bomb makes or breaks a lucifer run imo

[quiet lark]

splitting bolt's still decent

[chrome cape]

Almost got worried about the time there, but I pulled through. Greatest reflexes and tidal dash is fun.

[little prairie]

Fo2 EM4 with an acorn use left letsgoooo

In 2 minutes, too

[bold jolt]

Gamer

[bold jolt]

That's em3 and all acorn charges are gone lol

And also not fo2

[golden peak]

theyre talking about themselves

[bold jolt]

Huh

[little prairie]

Yee

[bold jolt]

Oh

[little prairie]

Switch screenshots are cumbersome

[chrome cape]

lol

[bold jolt]

Yeah I get it now lmao

Big gaming tho

[golden peak]

ive never even beaten regular hades with acorn charges left

i dont think i ever can

[little prairie]

try crystal beams

(this one was a nice Hera build, so feels more earned)

[chrome cape]

On lower heat I usually have still 3 DD left so I just brute force him every time if I want to.

[bold jolt]

Do the pseudo/sleep Dio beo route, guaranteed you won't get hit in any boss fight

[golden peak]

boss ''fight''

[bold jolt]

Rd go brrrr

[chrome cape]

Well, now that that is done, I'm going to finish the remaining achievements.

[bold jolt]

All weapons 32 heat lol

Or speedrunning

[chrome cape]

Maybe if I get that far with the bounties lol.
Also, having to do Tight Deadline 3 was already more speedrunning than I'm used to doing.

[bold jolt]

Lmao fair enough

[chrome cape]

It hurt me every time I missed a fish. Think of all the resources I could've collected there.

[golden peak]

fishing pauses the timer

[chrome cape]

I know, but I couldn't waste precious seconds dashing towards it and then back to the exit again.

I may be greedy but I still have some sense of priorities.

[quiet lark]

just td2 like me

[half sundial]

my first victory!

[quiet lark]

🎉

a couple things you should probably do:
get aph for more hangover stacks duo
dont use golden touch
zeus is generally the best build on zeus shield
acorn hades

[half sundial]

thanks for the advice!

im pretty new to hades so anything is welcome

[bold jolt]

ngl for hangover zeus i like curse of nausea more than low tolerance as a duo
getting 8 stacks on enemies can be a pain in the ass if they dont have a massive hp pool, esp since they might just die earlier lmao
aphro attack is generally better tho and would naturally open up the duo

also you have 2 sources of hangover, and hangover override is a thing unfortunately so that's gonna suck

[half sundial]

Thanks 🙏

[dire hull]

first 32 heat :D

probably most bonkers damage build i've had so far

[quiet lark]

🎉

would highly suggest changing to dark foresight and pride

[dire hull]

oo ya i've heard dark foresight is better

i'm just sticking with the other one for now cause i still need more darkness n stuff

what's pride?

[quiet lark]

god's legacy purple side, increases chance of epic boons by 20%

[dire hull]

oh really

interesting i shall have to check that one out

[quiet lark]

it mainly depends on what build youre using

if it relies on duos/legendaries, take legacy
otherwise pride

[dire hull]

oooo i c i c

[quiet lark]

there are some exceptions, most notably merciful end, where pride is still better

[bold jolt]

It's more like, most meta builds revolve around a certain duo, but in nearly all cases, the duo isn't vital to making the build work because the prereqs alone is just good in general

So pride is just better for stronger chaos and hermes

Also getting 1 duo typically isn't too difficult

[earnest hatch]

this isnt exactly a victory boast but i just beat Charon without taking any hits!

[iron night]

Looking forward to Hades II

[grave vector]

[stuck jackal]

Yaaaassss first "sword" finish

because obviously I was only doing casts 🥲

good 1k crit lobs 😛

choice of mirror bonusses mainly because I wanted to get them for the fates 😛

[hard solar]

Again? You're making a habit of this ...

[quiet lark]

ice wine and scint feast where

[dense wadi]

They got ice wine

By hyper sprint

[bold jolt]

that's his 5th one lol

1 unmodded, 2 zeus special modded, 1 with artemis special modded, 1 with aphrodite special modded

so yes, he's definitely making a habit of it lmao

[regal condor]

this was an insanely fun run

[burnt ember]

First time playing with Eris and clockets... I quite frankly didn't know rail could be this fun

[primal crown]

Gg

Btw on rail you want fiery presence

[bold jolt]

on pretty much everything you want fiery tbf

[quiet lark]

funny hera backstab build

[burnt ember]

Ohhhh that tracks

[split ember]

32 heat win (FIRST ATTEMPT EVER BTW)

[bold jolt]

gamer

but also where did your poms go

[split ember]

i barely got any lmao

[bold jolt]

oh olympian favor would explain it

[pearl depot]

I can't send pics to the other channels, I just want to know..is that art from game?

or its a fanart

[grave vector]

You can send images in other channels through embeds (from an image hosting site) but this is official art by Jen zee for Valentine’s Day

[split ember]

finally got a rush delivery run

750 damage per shot

[pearl depot]

thank you!

[quaint onyx]

first 32 heat run w fists!
the only thing missing is impending doom

[strong ravine]

tfw lvl9 common doom is less than lvl3 epic

[jagged rose]

Epic RD kinda good lol

[gentle swan]

doesnt seem bad for a dash only run

[strong ravine]

if ur doing dash only btw u generally want to use gilga

[gentle swan]

👁️

oh, right

[icy cloak]

What’s the deal with 32 heat? Is it significant somehow?

[ember heart]

Last statue iirc

[strong ravine]

its the highest heat to have an in game reward

[strong ravine]

truly an experience

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qn3NQd0CXgw

[snow hull]

i did it! 32 heat

patty saves the day again

[primal crown]

Hestia is bestia

[bronze snow]

Took some time and all death defiance but finally defeated minotaur and theseus.

Reached the surface, only to fight hades and died🥹

Its good atleast i didnt have to fight cerebrus

[quaint onyx]

first 32 heat w the rail, hestia my beloved

sadly no heart rend

killed dad by reflecting his bident

funny

[quaint onyx]

new PB by over half a minute??????
ily hera
plus it was w a normal rarity cast

[dense wadi]

Nice! Hera was my first sub 10, and it’s still one of my favorite speedrunning weapons

That cast damage is really nice too

[quaint onyx]

ikr

plus greater recall in styx was surreal

[dense wadi]

Hermes legendaries always feel good

[wild mica]

this good? , started playing about a week ago

[brazen minnow]

For the amount of clears and play time definitely

I got first clear around my 45th attempt and my time was over 50 mins

50 minutes is really slow

Even for first clear

But almost sub 20 is great

[wild mica]

if I didn't fish like 4 times it'd been sub 20

[brazen minnow]

Fishing pauses timer

[wild mica]

really?

[bold jolt]

yeah

[brazen minnow]

Yep

The only time loss is time getting to the door after it

[bold jolt]

could be a 38 sec time loss tbf but who knows lmao

[gray marsh]

I finally won

[primal crown]

Gg

Pretty fast too

[cunning shale]

i won for the first time

[ember heart]

Congrats

[quiet lark]

switch olympian favor to dark foresight

[burnt ember]

K so I was literally going to just use this run to reset RNG and I'm SO glad I didn't. Tempest flourish Poseidon kinda works NGL
(also I got explosive return which REALLY helped)

[bold jolt]

budget zeus^2 lmao

also idk if it's tempest flourish working or rd, sea storm, jolted, and splitting working lmao

[modern oracle]

this was a really fun build. probably would have been one of my best times if i didn't have to search every single damm styx tunnel

[quaint onyx]

discovering heart rend on nemesis is a certified good time

i would say its usually better to run aphro attack and arty special tho, at least from my experience

since you already have the crit chance and aphro has more +% dmg

[bold jolt]

Or you can crit more often lol

Doesn't really matter afaik it's just personal preference

[minor widget]

Sub 15 arthurphus run

Until Aphrodite gave me that FAT 95% raw attack and I was like

Also Rare Crop on PP is a certified good time

Would've been better with Shadow Slash but it never came up so worked with improvising

[autumn bear]

yay new record

[minor widget]

Big honking blaster

[quiet lark]

mirage when

[icy cloak]

My first 16 heat run

[minor widget]

No cohesion, just full green, and a very battered dad

[modern oracle]

i just wanted to use dark thirst and maybe get a clear on shield. somehow i got this insane build while not really trying

[quiet lark]

low tolerance and curse of nausea when

[modern oracle]

as i said i wasnt really tring to get a good build. maybe ill do that once i get up to higher heat on the shield.

[thin notch]

LET'S
FREAKING
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

THE KING IS DEAD

[spice marsh]

[modern oracle]

the first of many i hope :)

[thin notch]

Cursed Slash is broken

Also, as you can see, I used all my death defiances

I equipped the lucky tooth, just in case, because Hades is a goddamn beast

But I didn't need it

[quiet lark]

use acorn

and dark foresight(not olympian favor)

both are FAR better choices
aside from that, the hades fight seemed really solid

[thin notch]

Zeus' attack boon carried my run

I was doing so much damage, I was melting enemies

[quiet lark]

use soemthing else

[thin notch]

Okay it wasn't doing it right away

Only with jolted did it do that

[quiet lark]

zeus attack is only for lower damage things(>20)

if you have legascam, you can try to go higher

[thin notch]

I figured out the trick to Theseus and Asterius and that's what did it

The entire time I assumed you're supposed to go after Asterius first
But I found it's actually better to go after Theseus first, and save Asterius for second, if you can

Except if you damage both and Asterius enters phase 2, in that case you want to kill him ASAP

[quiet lark]

funnily enough, for 95% of people its better to go for asterius first

theseus with god effect is really annoying, while asterius doesnt do much.
but theseus is still just annoying, and can be hard to deal with with asterius

but still 🎉, 90 health dad is quite impressive, even if its with healing

[thin notch]

I had the cursed blade

So I was healing 2 on every hit

Meaning I healed the damage I took

Except it wasn't enough because I still used all my death defiances

[quiet lark]

dad still does like 28 damage per hit

[thin notch]

28!?!?!?!?

[quiet lark]

2 hits you after a dd

[thin notch]

That's more than half your base health

[quiet lark]

(dont worry there's worse)

for example, dad pots is 30, and it stuns. if you get caught during lasers, thats like 70 damage

[thin notch]

I got super lucky with lasers

He only used them once

[quiet lark]

for lasers you want to hide behind rocks

[thin notch]

I got caught out in the open and had to rapidly tap WASD to stutter-step so I'd maintain the exact speed as the rotation

[quiet lark]

i find it easier to just spam dash towards the nearest rock

you can also hug him(funny hitboxes)

[thin notch]

Zagreus' hitbox is too large to reliably dodge bullet hell-ish projectile attacks

Unless you're quite far away

[gray marsh]

second win

[ashen elm]

Epic RD addict

[bold jolt]

god damn big speed

[iron night]

Ares 64 Heat

[ember heart]

It is difficult to dodge, but remember that your dash has iframes, you don’t need to dodge you can dash trough them

[modern oracle]

holy bow builds are cracked

the sheer damage is insane

[modern oracle]

oh my god what. im pretty sure this was doing like 3000 damage per hit god damm

[dense wadi]

Hera bow is def my fav weapon

[lunar wolf]

I still have a video somewhere of hera bow firing so many casts it slowed my game lol

def my favorite bow

[dense wadi]

It’s so dead simple but so good at the same time

[quaint onyx]

holy hell another PB, hera my beloved

deserved, i'd say

[quaint onyx]

another PB???? now with beo

[bold jolt]

Beo moment

[quiet lark]

ldash rod funny

and no legascam

[chrome cape]

First time playing with Hera's aspect, I think I got nice boons.

[dense wadi]

Lot of Hera love recently

Nice run!

[quiet lark]

sadly the hammers are bad

[strong ravine]

what

that is twin flurry

literally like the best or 2nd best hammer combo on hera

[dense wadi]

With personal preference I dont like twin, but flurry is REALLY good on hera

[chrome cape]

I followed Banana's high heat guide, Flurry was my first one, I already liked to play with that hammer anyway. The second hammer was the only impactful option tbh.

[quiet lark]

oh i thought twin locked flurry

[strong ravine]

even still twin is fine

[lunar peak]

Finally beat Hades w/ Aspect of Zagreus

[burnt ember]

K I got MAD blessed by the RNG gods this run. Not my favorite build but... Look at this

And then I got this offer from Hermes

[burnt ember]

AYYO!! Proud of you dude, may there be many more also 18 minutes and 50 on your first clear is kinda nutty ngl

[polar cosmos]

less goo

[raw dragon]

Finally beat Hades. Had to turn on God Mode though as I just kept dying at the Styx. Jumped right back into it with no God Mode and turning up the heat

[brazen minnow]

GG

keep climbing

[polar cosmos]

well, deadly reversal on nem sure is fun @bold jolt

[glad pewter]

It's fascinating seeing all these times that are ~10 minutes faster than mine even with bounties added lol

[strong ravine]

fastest heat is 9

em2 fo2

[quaint onyx]

32 heat sword first try, didnt get heart rend but ngl athena dash carried

smoldering air was also quite good

and i forgot to change my mirror to thick skin, stygian soul and shadow presence

[bold jolt]

More crit fun

[polar cosmos]

yessir

[worn eagle]

And possibly stubborn defiance, though this matters a lot less on 32 heat as opposed to stuff higher up

[strong ravine]

well its lc1

if they had a better pact sure

[cosmic relic]

5 dodges im new

[minor lynx]

3rd time with the railgun, i cant believe this duoboon i got for the first time led to such an OP build. I randomly picked up poseidon and dio was the only on purpose attack boon i selected. then boon after boon just added more destruction SHEESH.

[primal crown]

Exclusive access into sad hermes, a classic

[minor lynx]

hmm?

[worn eagle]

No rush delivery or +dashes = bad hermes usually

[primal crown]

Epic hermes boons are pretty good but everytime I see someone with exclusive access hermes doesn't colaborate at all lmal

[minor lynx]

well i was so fast with hyper sprint + haste that i went to the other side of the map before hades could hit me hahaah

what is exclusive access? sorry newbie

but isnt this duo boon rediciously OP if you get it as early as i did

[primal crown]

Pos-dio duo boon

[minor lynx]

aah!!

[tulip wadi]

If you click on your abilities, you can pin them on the screen

[molten minnow]

i didnt even intend to speedrun NOR thought id get this far with the poseidon aspect

and before anyone says i got god mode, i wanna focus on the story a lil more 😭

[worn eagle]

I don't think anyone would like to shame you for god-mode-ing
Feel free to turn it off the day you feel like you are getting comfortable with the game. Games, if played casually, are supposed to be fun. So enjoy it the way you wish to.

[molten minnow]

got it 🙏

even if i intend to speedrun, i want it to be fun 🙏

[quiet lark]

fun fact:
the mirror has a flip side. click on an effect to switch it
(dont use olympian favor or authority, use dark foresight and persuasion)

[prisma nova]

a year since i played this game, not more than 15 runs with only 2 attempts against Hades himself and i finally got it again

[quiet lark]

jolted and acorn when

also empowering is bad with zeus since it only applies when you catch the shield

[prisma nova]

ok i already finished the run, i dont really need that now and i still did better than i expected from myself anyways for at least a year's break, especially since i had God Mode on when I was playing for the first time ever and didn't have it on this time

[burnt ember]

Finally COMPLETELY finished the Fated List with this build!! Not the craziest one out there, but low-key though the pressure points, vicious skewer and hunters mark led to some absolutely insane damage from blizzard shot

[burnt ember]

Also, in a fun retrospective, this was apparently my first clear haha

[prisma nova]

decided to try out the bow for the first time on xbox, works pretty nice

[burnt ember]

Which aspect?

[prisma nova]

just zagreus, didn't have the blood for the others because i spent it on the rail which i turned out to not like

[burnt ember]

hey that's a mood

To be fair, Hestia plays pretty differently than the base rail, and Eris is pretty cool too! They actually made me appreciate the rail

Still not my favorite to play tho lol

[burnt ember]

Zag aspect is nice :DD

[prisma nova]

yeah, definitely wanna unlock more but the bow was pretty fun even after i turned it into an automatic

[burnt ember]

Flurry shot is VERY good on Zag bow

[wicked hamlet]

the bow is a good weapon and i stand by that

screw the rail

[prisma nova]

i love the bow, zag aspect is pretty solid with the crit but unfortunately i didn't get artemis here

Rail is pretty good once you learn the timing.

I just got a No Hit run doing every aspect from the Heart-Seeking Bow. Idk if this kind of spam is permitted, but I will share it https://youtu.be/BShLCzs1otY?si=CISQLzooFfcHvbWK

first win with the Rail, went better and quicker than expected even though i cleared nearly every chamber in the temple before finally finding the satyr sack

this end screen hurts me in almost every way

so based

[quiet lark]

1. delta chamber(when will i get it)
2. god keepsake into styx(you got rav will so its a pass)
3. no zap
4. flurry cast
5. actually a pretty fast win

the only thing that would make me die was if there was olympian favor

[prisma nova]

dont care in the slightest, im filling out the minor prophecies and winning i dont really need more than that

[golden peak]

stay hard stay based

[prisma nova]

also earning achievements i know i can get without going extremely out of my way and doing something annoying repeatedly

[golden peak]

stay hard

[prisma nova]

here's another run that's already ended for you to judge and pick apart then

[quiet lark]

based opinion

[quiet lark]

for easier wins, switch your attack and special. thats about it, the rest is fine

3rd win
