[bold jolt]

makes sense

[primal crown]

post it to reddit

[golden peak]

😭

k

ive never used reddit before though

[bold jolt]

lmfao

first reddit post: thegamer build guide was onto something

[willow bronze]

so real

[golden peak]

im not able to save this image

or copy it

[heavy solar]

Nice sub1(hour)

[golden peak]

why does it say moderators have removed my post

as soon as i posted

[pallid sundial]

new accounts usually can't post when they were created too recently

it's to protect against spam and such

[golden peak]

ive had my acc for a while though

oh is it based on when i join the subreddit

[pallid sundial]

no idea on the precise policy used in r/hades

but usually it's things like that

[primal crown]

could it be karma requirement too

[golden peak]

whats karma

[strong ravine]

live epic boon start reaction

[golden peak]

idk what ur talking about it

[quiet lark]

smh chaos carried

[lunar peak]

this gonan be good or?

[kind lichen]

you can embed images in other channels

to answer ur question depends on the aspect and build

[strong ravine]

heinous horrendous hatefully horrid aspect

i am shocked anyone has ever gotten any enjoyment out of playing this

[burnt ember]

arty legendary??? (also 3 seconds from my pb (also first run with high confidence, that didn't work out very well for me tho lol))

very big number :)

[supple moat]

Holy crap

That's insane

Very big number indeed

[burnt ember]

that is mirage shot on beowulf for you lol

[supple moat]

Impressive

[burnt ember]

also artemis legendary

If I'd gotten rush delivery it could've been more

[supple moat]

Me only getting arty heroics:

I mean they're good but like

Never gotten a legendary from her

Anyways gtg

Ttyl

[burnt ember]

to be fair it's kind of ridiculously difficult to get arty's legendary, you have to get two of her tier 2 boons first and then get lucky

I was absurdly lucky lol

[bold jolt]

just missing the rd rip

[supple moat]

Damn

[static bison]

after multiple days missing a run, i finally get hades back working while getting merciful end in tartarus (but still beating my previous record only by a few seconds)

[honest vessel]

WHERE MIRAGE SHOT

20% rd damage

urge to deliver

[primal crown]

Those aphro cores ain't helping

Banger greater rd btw

[honest vessel]

i get forced to aphro right after poseidon keepsake start

[kind lichen]

reminder to sell unhelpful boons(especially on beo)

[honest vessel]

rod

[fathom ember]

New unmodded PB. + I got 3 Styx 9.10 and 4 Styx 9.49

[quiet lark]

small number actually

you havent seen trippy beo or funny than backstab yet

[granite python]

just because it's not the biggest possible doesn't mean it's small though

[forest wyvern]

got me my 1st V I C T O R Y against Hadès!!

should probably switch the game to english if i wanna share those in the futur hehe

[quiet lark]

pro tip:
you can switch the mirror

just click on a talent

i highly highly highly suggest you switch olympian favor to dark foresightthe last talent in your mirror)

what it does is it increases chances for chamber rewards that affect the current run(boon, pom, hammer, obol, heart)

[kind lichen]

[summer cove]

finally got around to doing em4

god that was such a cool bossfight

i think i’m probably maybe done with this game now? all achievements, sub 10, 32 heat on all weapons, relationships and weapons and companions maxed, prophecies done, and em4 cleared

[lunar peak]

first victory that was cool

[quiet lark]

theres still more heat and badges

[summer cove]

yeahhh

[quiet lark]

but youve done pretty much everything besides those and time

[summer cove]

but i don’t really want to do that ngl

maybe some day i’ll try 40 heat

but the idea of lc4 makes me want to very much not do that

[quiet lark]

you can always max other things

[summer cove]

i was thinking about finishing the codex but i don’t want to go chaos fish hunting

[bold jolt]

zoos

oh i had a hitless dad fight in this that's neat lmao

[burnt ember]

I did LC4 for my first 32 heat clear, it's honestly not bad

It's just the bossfights you need to worry about lol

tmw you get 3 duo boons except for the one you actually wanted :') (also my personal best!!!)

[bold jolt]

heart rend scam

[burnt ember]

seriously

[kind lichen]

smair > heart rend

[forest wyvern]

hello there! i'm sorry i'm not sure to understand what you're talking about and how to do it x)

[hushed delta]

Hermes was being a bro today. This with the sword's hidden aspect, life-steal and Aphrodite's special. Never felt so tanky^_^

[willow bronze]

In your room, where you upgrade your mirror, clicking on the talents changes them to an alternate option. Each talent has two options.

[forest wyvern]

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG thanks!!

[worn eagle]

Fresh File EM4 using the "FreshFileFun" mod

pretty fun

[primal crown]

Orange boon gaming

[pallid sundial]

holy hell you managed to do it ???

giga gaming

[supple moat]

Nice!

[worn eagle]

like 5 hours of practice split among 2 days 😌

[pallid sundial]

That's honestly lower than I would have expected

but I imagine you're not mentionning to billion hours of practice for fresh file by itself

[forest wyvern]

Second V I C T O R Y ! :DDD

Yes I used gilgamesh you can make fun of me

[ember heart]

we love gilgamesh

[supple moat]

But I won

[supple moat]

Really?

Or are you being sarcastic

[ember heart]

i do

others less

all my "speedrun" attempts are with it

[supple moat]

This was such a fun run ngl

Minus the end but eh

At least it gave me a lot of adrenaline

[ember heart]

you might wanna try merciful end with em, the additional dashes help a damn lot

[supple moat]

I'll look into it

Also I have a screenshot of my previous attempt

Which was

Bad

Like really bad

Imo

[ember heart]

with fists it's hit or miss
pun intended

[supple moat]

Why guan yu

[ember heart]

tempest strike is generally a really bad choice i think

[supple moat]

Yeah

Idk what I was on on that run fr

[worn eagle]

poseidon attack -> sea storm fists has seen some hitless use

[supple moat]

Sea storm is good imo

But like

Not here

[worn eagle]

oh yeah no def not on GY

[supple moat]

I learned that the hard way

Wait no,

The painful way if you will

(Got my ass beaten by hades)

(Deserved ngl)

[pearl rain]

nothing just perfection it self of run no forcing god just pierced butterfly

[supple moat]

Vicious cycle nice

[pearl rain]

FOR REAL FOR REAL THE BLACK METAL THO LMAO

[supple moat]

This rng is crazy

[pearl rain]

ON GOD HMMM CHOOSE ME THE NEXT ASPECT

AND BUILD IF YOU WANT

[supple moat]

Hmmm I'm not good w builds, you do that

What's your preferred weapon?

[pearl rain]

HMMMM

I DONT KNOW MAYBE THE BOW

[supple moat]

Do Rama

Lmk how that goes

Gl🫡

I'm off to kill lernie

[pearl rain]

LETS GO

HEHEHEH

[supple moat]

Sounds like you like Rama lol

[pearl rain]

🫡

[pearl rain]

i do most fun one out of them

[supple moat]

I just finished

[pearl rain]

[supple moat]

I'm crying

As I said, serotonin boost of the month fr

Second EM4🫡

[honest vessel]

smh should i have gone aphro special
also poopy chaos rolls

get 80% attack boon the one time i play fists

bouldy 9% obol gain clutch 💪

[lunar peak]

first victory

dunno iff this is good or nah

i really like varatha

[willow bronze]

zeus call is good

if you like varatha, try achilles. It's much faster than hades

cast builds also make more sense on achilles

[bold jolt]

i have gamed

[golden peak]

so thats where all the +dashes went

[bold jolt]

yeah

c13 epic dashes, i belive c18 eury ambrosia

i just had heroic frost flourish and dashes at that point lmfao

[static bison]

was gonna go for a build where i had ME , DR and VM but i guess it had other plans for me

note to self: if you see support fire when wearing the gauntlets pick it up

[golden peak]

its not so great really

[willow bronze]

It looks fun but realistically it isn't doing a whole lot

[analog solstice]

thank god

[summer jackal]

Good job now get all skelly statues

[pearl rain]

@supple moat my build i slept sorry

[supple moat]

Hey it's not that bad

Imo at least

I'm not good with builds so dw

Honestly I just got really lucky on my last run lol

[kind lichen]

replace pos attk with aphro/arti and you have a normal build

[pearl rain]

Thanks thanks

[pearl rain]

Pos attack is the main thing for sea storm

[kind lichen]

but why tho sea storm works better when you can spam attk like on rail

[supple moat]

True

Doesn't feel the best on bow imo

Then again I despise the bow so my opinion is invalid💀

[pallid sundial]

I love bow and sea storm on rama attack sounds incredibly painful to play

[supple moat]

It really does

[pearl rain]

just try it you seee

[pearl rain]

lmao leme try nemisis

[pearl rain]

its really flawless trust

[supple moat]

Go for it

It's fun imo

[pearl rain]

you can already know where im going eheheheh

[supple moat]

Haha nice

Have fun

[pearl rain]

thankkks

fudg i forget to upgrade it 😭

[kind lichen]

you can embed images in #h2-discussion so the channel doesn't get clogged

#h1-discussion my bad

[pearl rain]

ohh thanks thanks

[worn eagle]

FreshFile 32 heat using the FreshFileFun mod

I have been informed I accidentally enabled RI4 while skimming through settings (honest mistake )
might do again without

[pearl rain]

lovely lovely

[primal crown]

Did you do ap1 to avoid MM styx?

[worn eagle]

no, to avoid MM bball and MM bombers

might be paranoia though, will try out

[primal crown]

Ah, fair

Also gg

[pallid sundial]

bruh

how the hell are you gaming so hard

[worn eagle]

add power couple to that list

32 \o/

the 00:00:00 tho 🤌

[summer cove]

damn 32 without td3

[supple moat]

Nice

[hard solar]

I've never managed TD3, I'm just not a fast player.

[supple moat]

I barely managed w a 9 minute timer

I can't imagine 7 minutes

[ember heart]

was it really perfect 0:00 or did you just tank the damage

[supple moat]

I did get like a somewhat decent run once but one time I had 4 minutes to beat dad and I was so so scared

[ember heart]

i still didn't manage to get a sub 10

[valid quarry]

I DID IT

MY FIRST WIN

I KICKED HIS ASS

[hard solar]

I once went into Heros with about 20 seconds on the deadline. Lost all my DDs but won the fight and went on to clear. Felt good man.

[ember heart]

congratulations well done

both of you

[hard solar]

Nice. You did that in about half the time I did

[ember heart]

i remember the time i fought heroes with 1 hp no dd, athena carried

[hard solar]

Now you can start getting titan blood... I'll let you see the cut scene first though. Say hi for me.

[supple moat]

Impressive

[ember heart]

i still don't get how you can keep asterius and theseus grouped together, do you focus on theseus and keep asterius automatically nearby through his melee attacks? they always fall apart

[supple moat]

I go for Asterius and then theseus

(I hate his shield sm)

[ember heart]

yeah but then you have to defeat each one by one and you also have to dash across the entire arena to get to theseus after

[hard solar]

For quickest kill you'll want to be going for them simultaneously.

[supple moat]

Hm true

Eh idk it's what I always do

[hard solar]

A good Beo build and well timed companion can make the fight take under 30 seconds easily.

[ember heart]

i don't think i ever managed to get them under 20 second the best i had was like 21 seconds

[supple moat]

I do sometimes strike Theseus like a couple of times

[supple moat]

I need to learn this asap

When I get beo

It sounds insane

[ember heart]

beo is broken

[hard solar]

And a companion.

[supple moat]

Seems like it

[supple moat]

Which one? Any of them?

[hard solar]

Meg's

[supple moat]

Fair

Lot of range

[ember heart]

it takes some time to get the whole dashstrikechargingloading thing down but once you do it's easy

[ember heart]

it's more of the fact that it's a lot of instant damage that can hit a lot of enemies if used correctly

you're always close to the enemies anyway reach doesn't matter much

[supple moat]

That also

This sounds like a killer build

I'd love to try it

[ember heart]

it is and it's very easy to pull off

[supple moat]

Sweet

I rlly need to get beo I'm missing out on so much cool stuff

[hard solar]

I didn't find a video of my fastest heroes fight, but I found this one:
https://youtu.be/_zYaFlVs5UA

And that could have been 5 seconds faster if I didn't flub the start.

[supple moat]

How is aphro cast that good

Damn

[hard solar]

Poseidon sword.

And Exit Wounds

[supple moat]

Touche

Nice build

[hard solar]

It was a steam roller

[pearl rain]

DONT ASK WHY NO IMPENDING DOOM AND WHY I HAVE 3 HAMMERS AND FLURRY I GAMBLED

@supple moat

Aid carried

i spamed it hard

[bold jolt]

tbf anvil was worth it since you got double edge out of it

[pearl rain]

YEAH

[bold jolt]

flurry is unfortunate but double edge damage food

just ignore how much hp youre left with bc of flurry lmfao

[pearl rain]

IT WAS MY ONLY CHANCE OF WINNING I NEEDED ALL THE DAMAGE I CAN GET

[pearl rain]

YEAH I WAS WITH THAT HP ON LAST PHAZE I KEPT SPAMING THE AID 😭

EVERY CHANCE I GOT WITH IT

I ACTIVATED IT ON EVERY SLASH FROM HADES

SKILL SKILL FOR REAL REAL

[lunar peak]

another :)

[ember heart]

well done

[supple moat]

Nice wtf

[supple moat]

The HP help

[ember heart]

a close call you might say

[supple moat]

Ba dum tss

[ember heart]

it's the best i can do...

[supple moat]

You tried

You get a thumbs up

[ember heart]

thanks

[supple moat]

Ofc

[valid quarry]

OMG

I BEAT HIM AGAIN

[ember heart]

nice

very nice

[supple moat]

Yo nice boons

[pearl rain]

😭😭😭

some cursed build like 8 months ago

The legendary....

@supple moat look at this...

[supple moat]

Took me like 30 solid seconds to find the legendary

Also I don't recognize half of the icons

Wiki time

Oh

Interesting legendary

How's that build cursed I don't get it💀

[ember heart]

i think it's cause there's so much more in it than just the usual hera build, there's like 3 different builds in one there

[golden peak]

its looks normal to me

[ember heart]

i mean they did get everything that would've helped them with hera

so perhaps they meant their luck?

[supple moat]

[lunar peak]

NO CAST

https://tenor.com/view/omori-omori-tenor-omori-ssip-ssip-club-gif-21076052

[ember heart]

no cast? but, well done

[lunar peak]

i meant cast mb

thanks

i hate those enchantments >:(

[pallid sundial]

gives you a plate of beowulf

[primal crown]

I suggest swapping your last skill to the green side

[lunar peak]

clouded judgement?

[primal crown]

mirror skill

O.favor to dark foresight

[lunar peak]

oh

[hard solar]

Nice. Frost on Zag rail is pretty decent (esp. with "Killing Freeze"). Had you planned the build by taking a god keepsake?

[strong ravine]

idk about that one chief

pretty sure its a % attack on a 10 base damage bullet

[pallid sundial]

I never understood why people talk about base damage instead of base DPS for judging %dmg boons

[bold jolt]

doesnt the base dps depend on the base damage

[hard solar]

Yeah but everything is going a lot slower because you can apply chill very fast.

I mean there are better Zag rail choices, but at least it wasn't Aphro or Arty.

[willow bronze]

What

Aphro or arty are one of the meta picks for zagrail

With spread fire

40 base damage cooks

[lunar peak]

Finally beat 32 heat, took me longer than it took to originally beat the game 😭

[hard solar]

Yes but we're talking about someone with 1 previous clear.

They aren't going to be build smithing yet.

[strong ravine]

well it would have been fine with spread fire

but there was no spread fire

[willow bronze]

You said this as if aphro or arty are bad for zagrail

[strong ravine]

so zeus attack would have been like

20x better

[willow bronze]

True

Also does killing freeze out scale hangover at any point?

8 at epic attack, 40/.5 second with full stacks
Killing freeze needs all enemies inflicted to work but idk how much pomming helps

[bold jolt]

you can't pom killing freeze

[valid quarry]

I had the deal damage at a distance keepsake, the build worked out really well, my q shoots more bombs that chill faster, my attacks as well

[willow bronze]

Distant memory moment

[bleak wigeon]

FINALLY

[primal crown]

gg

[summer cove]

congrats

my first clear was also attempt 44 lol

[quiet lark]

switch the third to last mirror talent

it gives more chamber rewards that affect the current run(obol, heart, boon, hammer, pom)

[pearl rain]

mine was like 10th i think

oh 11th

it was zues build hehheheh

[summer jackal]

I was something like 19th on zagsword, feels like a long time ago but it was only 9 months ago.

[pearl rain]

Lovely

[boreal summit]

One, the final stretch

[supple moat]

Third EM4. Build wasn't terrible but could've been better imo

[fathom ember]

Unmodded PB which is also better than my modded PB. I dont know wtf happened, Im shocked

I beat my unmodded PB by 1mn08 lol and modded by 23s

[primal crown]

Nice

Also dark regen?

[pallid sundial]

I mean, modded just reduce RNG. If you get a god run, there is no difference between the two

[fathom ember]

ME C29 only and Impending later (Styx I think). But the room RNG was godlike

[fathom ember]

Yeah I know haha. I didnt see any advantage to Chtonic vitality, someone told me today that it gives more consistency to fiery presence (which is true actually) but still

[primal crown]

Vitality lets you keep high confidence easier

[fathom ember]

Yes sorry, had the wrong name lol

[primal crown]

Your usual darkness drop with dark foresight on will be after bosses, where you have a fountain anyways

[fathom ember]

Let's say it makes me unique haha. But I'll probably change this very soon

[snow hull]

guys i did it

[golden peak]

🗣️ ap2 who

[snow hull]

lol at least no ri

ri0 makes ap2 ok i think

[golden peak]

bearable

[bold jolt]

Free

[strong ravine]

actual piece of trash

[golden peak]

ok

[mossy nebula]

OMG FINALLY, what a ridiculous grind this was, I've never done a grindier platinum (I don't hunt for a ton of platinums tbh)

[golden peak]

sub6

[stoic steeple]

new best time!

[short token]

GG

[static bison]

new best

[short token]

I finally got this

[pallid sundial]

me trying to speedrun a spear be like

[snow hull]

i'm so bad at em4

fo2 em4 goes hardd

[valid quarry]

I hate the bow so much that I basically took a dash damage build XD

[kind lichen]

try the other bows

lvl 0 chiron is the worst aspect

[strong ravine]

garbage game

[worn eagle]

game, I'm supposed to be retired

that's an overall FreshFile PB

[pallid sundial]

damn, GG !

why are you gaming so hard

[worn eagle]

IDK

I just wanted to play one good run

for fun

and PB'd by far off of it

[willow bronze]

Why is fresh file measured in RTA btw?

[strong ravine]

because it used to be mostly not first run

so you needed a timing method that would be all the way from file creation

or else it would just be like grind loads until you get a good setup

[willow bronze]

Oh interesting

[summer jackal]

so hypothetically that catagory would allow for anything? sort of like an any% catagory?

[strong ravine]

yeah i guess

if it was measured in igt

maybe they coudl like

sum up all the igt from all the runs

but idk

[willow bronze]

Idk considering that it’s first attempt clears now, doesn’t seem bad to have igt ruleset now

[willow bronze]

That’s actually a pretty good idea I think

[strong ravine]

sounds annoying af

[willow bronze]

Mostly to convert current RTA multi attempt runs into an igt leaderboard

[short token]

Yay!!!! I defeated Magera

[gray marsh]

@bold jolt @heavy solar HOLY CRAP I DID IT FIRST TRY

I WAS ONE HIT FROM DYING

[bold jolt]

ah i forgot to tell you to take SD and not use DDs but gj lmfao

[gray marsh]

im shaking so bad right now

this was the second most intense hades fight ever

first one being em4

[static bison]

my best run, if i just turned off em4 it could have been way faster

[bold jolt]

big damage

[static bison]

also had a chance to pick up vengeful mood but i was stupid and didnt pick zeus up in elysium

[worn eagle]

VM bad anyways 😌

[boreal aspen]

been playing for like 10 days and this is my best run yet :)

[bold jolt]

rd gaming

[empty berry]

Dionysus moment. Would've been a whole lot faster if it didn't take me all 5 rooms to clear styx smh

[lunar peak]

rate the beowulf build

[willow bronze]

Where poms/10

Generally you don’t want to be scaling anything other than your cast or buying unnecessary boons

[strong ravine]

ares call

-200/10

[willow bronze]

Maybe pp but all resources should be going into cast

[lunar peak]

I can't control the game showing me like 4 poms the entire game 😭

[strong ravine]

the poms are fine because of the epic cast

[lunar peak]

a desperate attempt to fill up my god pool to raise the chance of getting legendaries/duos

[strong ravine]

you dont need more than 1 duo

and 0 lego

[willow bronze]

Ig but lvl 3 ares call

Mid-high level cast and mirage can carry you completely

[strong ravine]

its bad that the poms went somewhere else but lvl4 epic flare is usually sufficient

6 for rare 7 for common

[fathom ember]

Lol nice build

[static bison]

tried to revamp this run, except no em4

[pallid sundial]

Dread flight carry

[worn eagle]

ares dash opens cod too which makes it just as bad

[static bison]

sad run

no DR, VM or possibly even LR, just ME.

so sad

no title too

[primal crown]

Nice priv status

[kind lichen]

that's a really good build

[worn eagle]

VM is bad anyways 😌

[burnt ember]

You wouldn't be able to get Deadly Reversal with a Merciful End build unless you were extremely lucky

Wait NVM I'm a silly liar who lies

Ignore

[fathom ember]

I had on my pb run 🤣

[burnt ember]

For a sec I thought you needed both Athena and Arty on either attack or special, but it's only Athena with that restriction 😅 you'd still need a lot of luck but it's absolutely feasible

[sweet mirage]

i love how at some point dad just becomes the punching bag to test strong builds-

[pallid sundial]

And then EM4 makes you the punching bag

[brisk canyon]

took using the olympus plus mod but i finally got 32 heat!

[mortal valley]

I can finally check this game off of my backlog

[primal crown]

You barely started the story tho

Gg

[distant helm]

Got sweet nectar early from splash dash and it was noice

[primal crown]

Heroic quick reload nice

[distant helm]

Common crush shot too lmao

[dense wadi]

How fast is heroic quick reload?

[mortal valley]

idc about story, i got an ending, i consider that finishing the game

[distant helm]

1.4 sec

[dense wadi]

Well thats not credits

but understandable

[dense wadi]

wow

thats REALLY fast

[distant helm]

Ikr lol

[primal crown]

That's along hera's shortened time

[dense wadi]

Base hera drop speed combined with that boon is kinda crazy

[distant helm]

Oh yeah

[primal crown]

Heroic QR is 2

[dense wadi]

That with greater recal would be really funny

[distant helm]

Yeah lol

Exit wounds was fun bc with the downright diabolical reload time it was rapid damage

[dense wadi]

Didnt even think about the exit wounds

[west cargo]

Wait Hera’s bow and Hermes drop time stack?

[pallid sundial]

yeah

it's indicated by the hermes boon description

I had no idea either

[distant helm]

Another insane run I just cleared. Dad lasted 16 seconds without invincibility frames

5 casts too

[ember heart]

well done

[supple moat]

nice

[west cargo]

Very nice

[woven fox]

Is that normal to get that much gold in tartarus, without playing anything that gives gold? No deep pockets, no money keepsake or such stuff.

[golden peak]

can happen

[willow bronze]

It’s possible yeah

[snow hull]

rich boi

[willow bronze]

Average boonless hestia experience

[bold jolt]

that's a lot of boons and gold for tart ngl lmao

that's 9 gold laurel rewards not including coins lmao that would mean the other 4 chambers had to be like all coins

which would mean 100% gold laurels

[snow hull]

what about sell pools

[bold jolt]

that wouldn't explain much bc that would mean you'd have even more boons which would just replace the coin room rewards

[primal crown]

Can't see sell pools in tart

Iirc

[bold jolt]

also that apparently lmao

oops all gold laurels apparently

[static bison]

would have been faster if a certain goddess would have gave me divine dash earlier

i also got rush delivery super late

god this game does not like me lol

maybe i should apply maximum td to make me go faster

[bold jolt]

if you want to go faster, use high confidence and fam favs. get rid of tight deadline so you can get tartarus survival room
also 3 dashes on first hermes is great, the problem wasn't styx rd the problem was no impending doom

and yeah late ddash kinda sucked but not much you can do about that

although late ddash and 4 poms into it is really sad lmao

[fathom ember]

Let's GO finally cleared heat 40. Took me a lot of tries lol

[hardy moss]

love this build

[ember heart]

nice

[lunar peak]

Took a while to actually obtain the merciful end duo, but the hades fight was incredibly worth it

[kind lichen]

ap2 who

[grave vector]

Holy moly, what modifiers do you not have on

[pallid sundial]

EM4 and RI it seems

which makes sense

[grave vector]

wow. Almost there

That’s really impressive

[pallid sundial]

I mean, RI4 is probably 50% of 64 heat difficulty

but 56 heat is hella gaming

regardless of what higher heat entails

[golden peak]

more like 99% lol

[pallid sundial]

hey, leave some for superdad !

[fathom ember]

Modded PB (10s more than unmodded though)

[willow bronze]

Nice

[boreal summit]

brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

"I love being able to tell what is happening on screen right now"

[willow bronze]

Oh that looks like it shreds lol

[boreal summit]

Yeah I had an extra dash from Hermes so I could hit triple digit damage in like a second or two

I rolled for PP like three times though and just got purple exit wounds lol

[pallid sundial]

damn, big ME gaming

[summer cove]

oh so that’s why people like chiron

[strong ravine]

i dont see it

[bold jolt]

conc volley with prob epic swift florish lmao

either that or just hella %

[willow bronze]

Also consider heat

[woven fox]

Intially i planned to play lucifer with attack damage. Somehow the game convinced me to switch to cast build which allowed me to spam 7 to 8 laser on field. Arctic blast was triggered so fast by this, it was insane. I do,'t even dare to imagine what could have happened if i went for cast asap.

[fathom ember]

New modded PB, first sub7. I thought it would take me 3 weeks, it took me 3 days. No impending. Insane luck on rooms though, cant complain lol

[primal crown]

where dmg

[strong ravine]

in additive land

[ruby eagle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/879755279481339975/1214987637899927662/image.png?ex=65fb1c6a&is=65e8a76a&hm=28837ae390c428e9e9e965dcea780d1808902c009eb95c149dafbe20fe3938c2& 40 (:

[golden peak]

and it only took you a few hours of attempts at best to do it right

[ruby eagle]

3 runs, once i switched to eris

[golden peak]

you can do 45 heat easily

[ruby eagle]

idk about easily but ok! next milestone

[golden peak]

definitely within reach

[bold jolt]

Doable

Just win lol

[willow bronze]

Don’t get hit. Do enough damage

[leaden wyvern]

Finally got my first 32 heat clear!!! With a very unexpected build lol

I just took lambent plume from the beginning and ran with it

[golden peak]

baased

[primal crown]

pretty fast too lol

[golden peak]

support fireee

[bold jolt]

I'm surprised that run is like 15 mins ngl lmao

[leaden wyvern]

I got really lucky and got rare crop early in tartarus. I think thats the only reason why support fire actually helped haha

[leaden wyvern]

Feels good to get props from the guy who "wrote the book". I'm pretty sure I used the exact same POP setup that's in your guide

[lunar peak]

definitely my favorite hera aspect run ive done

[willow bronze]

I’m not sure if blown kiss does anything damage wise

But I could be wrong

[bold jolt]

you're forced to undershoot it bc of crush shot's dead zone

it does work tho it's just finnicky

[willow bronze]

I c

Well that’s a little useless with flurry right

Bc you can’t really control shot distance

[bold jolt]

yeah

flurry makes your casts not deal damage most of the time

it's super annoying

[willow bronze]

Rough

Why is it usually taken then

[fathom ember]

Took me 5 days to heat 40

[ruby eagle]

i think i just got really lucky with the build?

the way 45 is looking, i might manage by christmas

but probably not

[fathom ember]

Maybe you're naturally gifted

By Christmas in 9 months??? xd

[strong ravine]

45 isnt that bad

[ruby eagle]

i die to lernie a lot

it's so annoying

[fathom ember]

Im done with high heat for a while, it was too exhausting

[ruby eagle]

super rewarding to break that ceiling tho

but i know what you mean

[fathom ember]

Try any heat if you havent, I have more fun with that

[golden peak]

tooth into lernie

[ruby eagle]

what is any heat?

[fathom ember]

Speedrun any heat, try to go as fast as possible

[ruby eagle]

aah

yeah my game is too sloppy for speed running

i still take 4 hits where 2 would do

[fathom ember]

3rd time Eris lol wtf is this

[golden peak]

Eris momeny

[fathom ember]

Like the damage difference with fists is wtf

I feel like Im cheating

[golden peak]

That why fists are on the lower end of the damage list

[kind lichen]

global dmg buff moment

[bold jolt]

Yeah Demeter is like middleish of the pack for speedrunning, eris is like top 5 lol

[golden peak]

It's like tied with hestia for 4th right

[strong ravine]

yeah

they both suck though

[kind lichen]

[ruby eagle]

what is your pact?

i don't know the icons

you always play 9

[primal crown]

Em2 + fo2
Lernie heads spawns closer, faster spawns

[ember heart]

it's the most ideal for speedrunning igt

and you'll take td1 too if you wanna do real time

[strong ravine]

🐀

[static bison]

mid run, support fire crazy though

[pallid sundial]

HS speedrunning

based

[static bison]

another mid run, this time using a modern weapon

[static bison]

last run, could have been sub 11 or even sub 10 if i was fast enough

[ruby eagle]

ah yeah i read that in the website

[granite python]

40 heat m. e. zag fists without m. e.

[iron berry]

super soaker 2.0

[flat pike]

What a fun Rama build!

I was hoping for ice wine but eh

Worked really well without it

[fathom ember]

First sub 8 Eris

[static bison]

we are getting quite close lads

[fathom ember]

Close to what

[static bison]

sub 10

[fathom ember]

If you record your runs and want some advices, I can help

[static bison]

noted

[worn eagle]

recorded FFTC No Unlocks (Low%)

[ebon walrus]

About to win with this cast build, it's super good

[agile cedar]

I did it!!!! My first win in the game!!!

🎉 🎉🎉

[primal crown]

Gg

Lot of boons for no dark foresight

[lunar peak]

boonless is so free with shattered shackle

[strong ravine]

i mean they're free either way

[willow bronze]

Now do 32 boonless

||this is cope. I have yet to do so myself||

[lunar peak]

it took me 30+ attempts to do 32 heat regular 😭

or smth like that

[willow bronze]

All g

[static bison]

a really fun run

[golden peak]

Do 32 boonless mirrorless

[willow bronze]

Ok

Oh wait

Idk about that one

[pallid sundial]

free RI4 !

[willow bronze]

But I can’t roll doors

Gonna be a lot of resetting lol

[summer cove]

RI4 clear!

fun challenge, not as bad as i was expecting

basically just 0 heat with worse room rewards and not being able to run headfirst into dad

[agile cedar]

New win!

Just had my first win yesterday

[willow bronze]

based pact choice

[lunar peak]

pretty fun build, the visuals of the lightning rapidly striking in the same place as the giant pools of water is satisfying

[willow bronze]

Unfortunately flood flare doesn’t proc seastorm afaik

[lunar peak]

huh

oh

[lime citrus]

Literally only joined the server to flex myself finally beating 32 heat 😩

Very proud of myself

[primal crown]

Gg

~~ also that's certainly a pact~~

[lime citrus]

That was the easiest 32, in my opinion

With my gameplay style and so on

Probably lots of better options, but still something 😩

[willow bronze]

That

Is a pact

[lunar peak]

extremely based build and companion

[lime citrus]

Thank you, thank you 😩

[summer cove]

damage control 2 with zag shield sounds horrible ngl

congrats

[bold jolt]

this is certainly a lot of things lmao ggs

[kind lichen]

that screenshot is alot

[lime citrus]

It wasn't the worst, honestly

Elysium was horrid, though

[ember heart]

oh well almost new pb, hopefully i'll get a sub 10 soon

unfortunately i only got impending, ME and divine dash on the last chambers of ely onwards, otherwise it might've been a pb

[primal crown]

With gilga you can use ruthless reflex too

Also ouch

[ember heart]

i was hoping for a greatest reflex and just lean back and hold two buttons

[smoky urchin]

Sigil of the dead

🔥🔥🔥

[distant helm]

Was originally a trippy flare Hera build then got disgusting Zeus boons then call started absolutely destroying everything lmao

Very slow tho

[primal crown]

was purse for lvling up

[willow bronze]

Aspect of smair moment

[ebon walrus]

Not quite a victory, but I’m winning in life. My fiancé set me up a gaming pad so I can play hades. While I recover from knee surgery. I’m a purple belt in bjj, and had to do reconstructive surgery on my LCL, ACL and cut out ruptured cartilage in the knee

Day of injury

[lunar peak]

didn't go for mirage shot, almost another sub 10? 🤷‍♂️

I don't actually know if the hyper sprint + rush delivery combo did much for this build but I took them anyways

[kind lichen]

if u switched their rarities it would've done alot

[bold jolt]

it definitely did lmao

free 50% cast damage basically

[kind lichen]

but 50% is still nice

[bold jolt]

also why didn't you go for mirage shot lmao with mirage shot this would've been sub10 for sure

[lunar peak]

I was tryna level up the sigil of dead to three stars, so I had it equipped the whole run

[bold jolt]

oh lmao fair enough

[lunar peak]

never saw artermis once

[bold jolt]

it do be like that

ngl for no mirage that's a pretty good time lmao

rd, ichor, purple chaos shot, strong drink

chaos shot and strong drink is basically mirage at home lmao

aphro atk cshot with rd and jerky prob went pretty hard too

[chilly brook]

im so bad at this game lmao so really im just counting this as a rare victory for me lmfao

[willow bronze]

that's a build lol

gj

[granite python]

nice! everyone is bad at the game / game sucks / you get better with time and upgrades

[chilly brook]

tysm 😭 i was shaking like i cant believe i finally beat him

[golden peak]

literally first try smh

[empty berry]

robbed than

[lunar peak]

everything in this build went perfect, landed in my top 3 fastest hades kills

the 13 minutes is due to horrible chamber luck before the hades fight

[granite python]

atp feels underwhelming because it's not 50. but: progress

[golden peak]

thats amazing

[primal crown]

Dio call gaming

[bold jolt]

gaming

[granite python]

aw thanks

[elfin linden]

Was planning on this being a merciful end run but pivoted to using the dio special

[calm oracle]

luckiest run of my life and still almost lost

[pallid sundial]

not ME arthur

based

I approve

[golden peak]

almost lvl 1 tidal dash

[short token]

Yay!!!! I beat Magera with the Shield, the spear and the sword

[fathom ember]

Finally sub 8 sword. 3/6 weapons with sub 8 now.

[golden peak]

i need to sub8 nem sometime ☹️

[fathom ember]

I advise you go with ME. I tried a lot with splash but Elysium is really too weak (or I just dont know how to build, that's very much possible too)

[golden peak]

yes

[fathom ember]

I made a heroes exit at 5.50 the other day with splash, I was 100% sure to get the sub8 but the build was so weak lol, I ended up with 8.06

[strong ravine]

sub4 heroes is cool

[little prairie]

Sub 10 hell mode!

It's like 13s behind my best non hell mode time lol

Hyper delivery is pretty aight

(was just working through the heats to get this hell mode up and running)

[dense wadi]

Those epic boons are so nice

[little prairie]

Probably was good to go pride

[bold jolt]

Holy damage

[ivory sky]

barely made it

[willow bronze]

Wild build

[ivory sky]

it's missing a couple things, like mirage shot and greater recall. had to settle for rod instead

at least I made it

[willow bronze]

it's missing the aspect of achilles lol

[ivory sky]

yeah but I always let dark thirst decide the weapon

[willow bronze]

fair

[fathom ember]

GG

[worn eagle]

my first and only controller FF win, after not playing the game for 3 days
I can go back to KbM now

😌

[pearl rain]

first 32 heat classic with good luck

[pearl rain]

alone in vc

[bold jolt]

Time pb too lmao

[pearl rain]

YEAH HEHEHEHE

[snow hull]

boring beowulf

[hollow jacinth]

Good build

[snow hull]

what's the meta for 32 heat pact?

[golden peak]

for what

speed?

[lunar peak]

finally got around to finishing it

[supple moat]

congrats!

[snow hull]

Yes

I could do hl5 hs bp0 if that's faster

Or remove mm

[wintry smelt]

Got my first 32 heat clear!

[primal crown]

gg

[chilly brook]

lol i basically had the same build so much fun lol

[pale quail]

First time doing spear and I somehow get better combos than any run with sword

[static bison]

exclusive access did a lot of damage

[pearl rain]

i just did this

[static bison]

lucky

[pearl rain]

thank you heheheheh

im on 32 heat tooo heheheh

[static bison]

even more luckier

[pale quail]

Why can't we fish here

Also lul at downing Hades first try with fists and spear and I still haven't done it once with sword

[grave vector]

im pretty sure you can, it just didnt spawn that time

also, images are allowed through link embeds on other channels (aka imgur etc etc)

[pallid sundial]

Sword is pretty mid tbh

[supple moat]

I've never gotten a fish there

[worn eagle]

I cry but agree

[pearl rain]

True

Sadly

[rotund flower]

finally

[primal crown]

Big dash

And classic ea into bad hermes

[willow bronze]

That’s a build

Nice job

[golden peak]

40 shoals 💀

[rotund flower]

is it bad?

[golden peak]

its crazy

[rotund flower]

ikr?

[heavy solar]

@ruby eagle

First run back

Only got my tdash poms in styx

[bold jolt]

Based spreadfire shackle

[heavy solar]

spreadfire came in ely

and I forgot I had triple bomb till midway through lernie fight

[ruby eagle]

OH shackle doesn't affect dash and call

[ruby eagle]

this was hestia?

i sold my dash and never used my call no wonder dad pwnt me

[golden peak]

zagrail

[heavy solar]

That was zagrail

Using Hestia would’ve been less funny

Although it probably would’ve been a better experience

[ruby eagle]

what's spread shot like on hestia

you just one shot everything or

[golden peak]

the first shot is uneffected

[lapis nova]

What a run
Early exclusive acces into curse of drowning and sea storm on spear of achilles
Splitting bolt on top of that and 3 stygian soul casts
Shame no quick reload from hermes or cold fusion though

[primal crown]

I mean with thunder dash you wouldn't need cold fusion

Tho no static discharge either so whatever

Fun run

[lapis nova]

Yea ik, was hoping to get it just for fun

Also it's incredible that there are still more gameplay options after 200k hours in the game

Getting hyped for hades 2

[spiral dock]

Me personally I’m gonna wait till I beat the main story of hades 1 first

But yes hype

[static bison]

no title, hermes would definetly not be jealous

[granite python]

accidental personal best time on my non hell mode file, going for steam achievements

can't believe this is the run game would give me dio call smair on

if hades 2 ea releases in late q2 i will have to get into speed running

[chilly brook]

my three wins from yesterday, eris rail is absolutely insane

[sullen leaf]

OMG YESS finally beat hades with a weapon other than rail

used the gloves

ideally, I wanted zeus's attack boon, but I also wanted hermes boon dodge chance for a dodge build

dodge saved me countless times, and even then, used all my death defiances

[sullen leaf]

love finding crazy boon combos (usually involves crits)

[short token]

Yay!!! got me the punch weapon

[sullen leaf]

turn up

[static bison]

hee haw

[static bison]

why did you take hoarding slash

[static bison]

lucky hammer run that was plagued by elysium

[heavy solar]

I mean sometimes it really is your best option

Like the other options 2 roll out as flurry slash and cursed slash or sometiing

And other times the player might just not know it’s bad

[honest vessel]

Finally, Eris clocket (ft.styx sweet nectar)

[bold jolt]

oops all zeus

[sullen leaf]

was the best out of what was offered

[dusky lintel]

this build was very fun
complete glass cannon tho

[summer cove]

woooo pb

this aspect is stupidly good bc i feel like i played so badly and still got pb

[pallid sundial]

yeah beowulf is OP

[primal crown]

Beo do be like that

Now add good hermes

[pallid sundial]

GG though, even with beo a sub10 is nice !

[summer cove]

i think i spent all my luck getting epic flood flare, artemis and charged shot in tartarus and 2 chaos casts

and then 2 braid of atlas from wells at the end of elysium and a 2 sack

[pliant glacier]

I believe this is the 3rd time I've won now

[nocturne spire]

I got so insanely lucky to beat my first 32 heat ever, lost all three DDs (actaully 5 cause they were replenished) so Stubborn Roots actually got some use and my god

[bold jolt]

big gaming

pretty solid build too nice

wait this is like a really good build lmao the only thing that's off is the special but that's kinda just whatever

based chaos

[nocturne spire]

Love me some Rama

[sullen leaf]

DAMN.

Finally beat him using every weapon

was struggling a lot to do it with the bow

[civic linden]

bow 2nd clear right after 1st clear with rail :D dion cast is crazy

[short token]

Yay!!!! I got the gun

[dusk yacht]

hella rusty so It's nice to know i still got the chops

[dusky lintel]

cursed

[dusk yacht]

thought I had em4 and I wasted such a good build

[rotund flower]

first heat attempt

[sullen leaf]

concentrated and relentless a crazy combo for chiron

[quaint onyx]

after a long break, i finally came back to this game, mostly with the idea of 100%ing it, since im only missing two achievments (hence the orpheus keepsake and a lotta call boons here)

[quaint onyx]

finally 100%'d it :]

[short token]

Yay!!!!!! I got to Elysium

[river flame]

normal head sized Megaminds:

[river flame]

pops must be tripping, only didnt even take a death defiance from me

[willow bronze]

You with death defiances falling out of your pockets

[civic linden]

no need to defy dad when he has no power over you in the first place

[hollow jacinth]

First clear on iOS

[primal crown]

Nyoom

[worn eagle]

Pseudo bow strats

[dense wadi]

Bow personally feels easiest

[chilly brook]

eris still hits so well

[deft island]

wait it’s out on ios now????

[worn eagle]

look at #announcements

[deft island]

HOLY CRAPP WAIT IT IS

[pale quail]

Given, half of the blade was learning the game but

Just funny that first time with spear and fist were clears, whilst I still had 0 on sword

[pliant glacier]

Vaporising my father with 2,000 pounds of artillery at 3am (gone wrong)

[primal crown]

god, no forced overtime looks so weird

[worn eagle]

Wdym, it looks normal

[lunar peak]

my first attempt at a chiron build, I got surprisingly good boons but im trash at using the aspect

[primal crown]

Gg

But also time for the classic chiron + zeus lesson
