Zeus boons have an internal cooldown (0.2 for special) so you only get 1-2 procs of bolts @lunar peak

[lunar peak]

ah

I see

[primal crown]

Still pretty fast run

[lunar peak]

it was like a 3 minute elysium and a 15 second heroes, so yeah pretty fast compared to my average run

[strong ravine]

chiron is the slowest aspect in the game

[pale quail]

I just had my first win run with the gun, got a nice build for the special to do 1000dmg

[willow bronze]

Didn’t you say it was Zeus

hi, just joined to share a blessed run i got that got me my first victory. nowhere near the level of your guys' runs but im excited for future runs and heat
cursed slash + flurry slash was pretty op

first clear on mobile

dash strike into a special was so difficult for me, i had to make custom controls

[river flame]

hmm man got potential

hes ready for level 4 pops

[ember heart]

i think i don't have any iframes if put my attack under my dash like that

[river flame]

hwat?

[ember heart]

you cancel out all of your iframes if you press attack or smth during a dash

[river flame]

nah, man is actually using that kind of controls

[ember heart]

of course

[river flame]

hmm

wanna try using 2 fingers

[ember heart]

i don't think i could manage that

[primal crown]

Is the bolt the call button?

[ember heart]

yeah

[river flame]

yea you can

be a true mobiel gamer

btw I would not be charge and playing on IOS if I were you

[ember heart]

wdym?

[river flame]

like I would not want to hold 70 degree hot piece of metal

[ember heart]

oh yeah that isn't an issue

[river flame]

btw can the game go over 60 fps

[ember heart]

i wouldn't be able to tell, it kinda lags on my phone

[river flame]

aw yes

the average pc games ported on mobile

with no optimization what so ever

[ember heart]

it actually really works really well

the only thing i miss is the vibration

bc your one finger blocks the life bar, and numbers are very small, so you can't really see if you're taking damage until it's too late

[static bison]

i really enjoyed this run
found me really early and i got some good snapshots for a wallpaper, such a shame styx decided to give me the middle finger

[primal crown]

Where 2nd hermes

tbf there were better room choices

[pallid sundial]

so close to sub6 GG though

[nocturne spire]

How many attempts did this take? That is amazing!

[nocturne spire]

I watched the VOD, the EM4 fight was absolutely sick, you lost your acorn like 75% of the way into phase three and at that point it was pretty much in the bag. Great stuff

Jesus - and that's hypermodded, right? Damn.

Oh, then I watched the wrong VOD, whoops

That's even crazier, damn

[prisma pecan]

not sure how difficult this is supposed to be, but it was definitely a fun run
ice wine and stubborn roots basically carried it and I came close to death too many times to count lol

[primal crown]

Holy-

[prisma pecan]

I don't know if there's a way to get the original victory log though

[primal crown]

Honestly absolutely gg lmfao

[prisma pecan]

this entire game has been way better than it had any right to be, and hopefully I'll be able to get hades 2 early on down the line xD

[river flame]

bro might be the real god of blood, Zagreus

[static bison]

good lord

[bold jolt]

first try but forgot to record first death lol

[worn eagle]

remember your ABCs

[bold jolt]

well i did record the run

just not first death

[golden peak]

why do u want to record it

[bold jolt]

bc why not

video proof that i did something lmao

[golden peak]

well if its just for self satisfaction then i dont think the death matter much right

[bold jolt]

yeah not really but it's just like standard yaknow lol

[golden peak]

🤔

[bold jolt]

like you might as well make it a legal run, doesnt really take that much effort to do

just unfortunate i forgot to do it but i'm still gonna call it done lol im not gonna do 50 again

[golden peak]

record another death and splice the vid

[bold jolt]

lmfao so true bestie

[granite python]

50 isn't that special to have to prove it, is it? i mean gaming obvs but it's not like 60+ only a handful of people did, right? not trying to dominish the accomplishment but like what i mean is everyone's going to believe you from just the screenshot or you saying it

(i'm sorry i am incapable of not writing walls of texts)

[worn eagle]

this was hitless I am pretty sure

bad category extension, never will try again

True my setup is basically a laptop

[ember heart]

you got any tips for playing nemesis on mobile

[willow bronze]

Don’t

[hollow jacinth]

My tips are get a Bluetooth controller

[lunar peak]

I was dashing around at the pace of a snail with this build but I got legendary chamber luck so new spear pb, woohoo!

[midnight orbit]

Beat 32 Heat with Nemesis. My first 32 Heat clear.

Was not the run I wanted. I missed using Mort on Hydra and mini-boss Asterius, which nearly had me bail on the run cause I was playing poorly. I was sloppy in so many areas. The run prior I made it to Hades and had 'em at 20% health before falling.

But, I kept on the run solely for the experience and "What if?" factor. And I managed.

[ember heart]

all my controllers are from the pre-bluetooth era

[nocturne spire]

First Rail 32 heat win. Pretty standard Sea Storm build but man I was surprised by how genuinely insane it is. I was exclusively a Hestia enjoyer before this but I finally get Eris now. Tried going for clockets but didn't get it. But 9 health clutch!

[midnight orbit]

What an absolute clutch. 9 health is nutty.

[primal crown]

Where jolted poms

[nocturne spire]

pom machine broke :(

[nocturne spire]

I know I just posted - but I decided that for my 100th clear, I would go back for old time's sake to the weapon that got me my first clear - Zag Spear, and try to do it with 32 heat this time. I didn't expect it to work literally first try thanks to a Chamber 1 Exploding Launcher leading to my 100th clear, my first 32 heat with the spear, and a new personal best on time.

[primal crown]

just get the hammers (tm)

also heroic titan toppler

[nocturne spire]

simply obtain some of the best spear hammers I mean what's the issue here, zag spear is fine

@balmy narwhal I have now completed a boonless run lol

I remember you asking me a while ago

[balmy narwhal]

lmfao havent played in a while but thats great

couldnt get it myself cuz i kept running into boon rooms in styx😭

[willow bronze]

Rough

Even with authority?

[short token]

I beat my dad on phase 1, I almost beat him on phase 2

[ancient frost]

okay I just defeated theseus and the bull for the first time after 10 or so deaths and then defeated hades first try

[nocturne spire]

okay I've posted way too much today but WHAT is this build, I giga highrolled Eurydice and Chaos into cutting my PB by a solid 2 minutes and didn't even lose my SD in the final fight (there's an additional epic chaos attack boon that I couldn't even fit in)

[strong ravine]

thats a lot of attack additive

[nocturne spire]

casual perfect shot too

[civic linden]

Behold, the ME build without ME

hid behind a shield for the longest hades fight i've had

[static bison]

i want to feel good about this run but i just cant
sure i got a really good build that steamrolled most of styx but i also didnt get sub 10

sub 10 is an opinion anyway

[bold jolt]

first try zag shield again lol

[fathom ember]

First Talos run ever 8.37. Few resets at Tart and 7.29 for my 2nd clear. With C34 ME, C48 Impending, missed my Meg sum at Heroes...

[empty berry]

first spear clear

[smoky urchin]

Why does it say that you have infinite death defiance

[primal crown]

stubborn defiance, heals for 30% but regens each room

green side of death defiance

[empty berry]

yay speed

[smoky urchin]

Oh ok

[willow bronze]

It’s the other side of the mirror

But yeah it is basically infinite death defiance

[smoky urchin]

Ik

Just never used it

I figured it wouldn't be as useful

As I don't usually die in regular encounters

[willow bronze]

Fair

It helps at 32+

[smoky urchin]

That makes sense

[honest vessel]

Chaos favor boons and still got the finger on super late phalanx smh

[honest vessel]

first sub 20'd my records

[lunar peak]

is this the best possible hammer duo for achilles aspect

[pallid sundial]

Pretty sure yeah

I think sometimes you go with triple jab instead of serrated to avoid the dash nerf ? But I don't play achilles

[dense wadi]

I usually go for either triple or extending over serrated but I’m no Achilles expert

[bold jolt]

Your iframes have disappeared lmao

[primal crown]

You don't combine serrated with flurry actually

[bold jolt]

Serrated flurry means no more hp

Serrated doesn't add that muchmore damage to Achilles iirc

[pallid sundial]

ah
well I spread misinformation again then

and then try to speed run this

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

that's really not the normal progression

[static bison]

satisfying run to cure the saltiness in me from last night

[short token]

what’s the normal progression?

[pallid sundial]

just finishing the whole game, which means winning multiple runs in the same file x)

[river flame]

silly boy

there is no escape

"You think I'm lying?"

"You think I haven't tried?"

[static bison]

you probably have

[short token]

just normal mode?

[pallid sundial]

or god mode

or whatever

it's not important x)

it's a roguelike, finishing a run (winning or losing) is nothing big x)

oh ok gotcha thanks

i just got my first clear on netflix hades :') didnt expect hermes dashes to be so useful on mobile

I got sea storm in Tartarus btw

its clocketing time

wouldve been sub 10 if the game hadn't given me a 4 sack styx

[willow bronze]

come to the modded side

it's more fun here

also that build on eris would've sub 8

with jolted poms

[static bison]

i lost but i probably would have won if i didnt take serrated point

damned serrated point and artemis

[lunar peak]

the dash deduction is way more of a con than the triple dash strike thing is a pro tbh

[bold jolt]

i mean the problem was having flurry and serrated

1 or the other is fine

[static bison]

real, i followed a tier list for the first hammer and got serrated

turns on 25% dash deduction is really much

[nocturne spire]

you really do gotta build almost completely around it for serrared point to be more than mid

[short token]

Yay!!!! I beat Magera on normal mode

carry on

insane build

[static bison]

no jurry flab

[primal crown]

Where cast/dash/jolted poms

[static bison]

jolted never pommed

cast and dash only

[midnight orbit]

Serated point only good when you get like greatest reflex +3 and Athena dash. Which, like others said, it's something you have to completely build around to make it good.

[heavy solar]

Nah serrated is fine without

It’s just

not flurry jab

And they negstively synergise with each other to kill your defense so you can’t take both

My five most recent gilgamesh builds, posted in an effort to help defend an otherwise slandered weapon

Various levels of heat, nothing super high or super fast because im not very skilled, but still found all of these runs super successful

[nocturne spire]

Got clockets for the very first time and yeah, I super get it. Especially with wave pounding, jesus. I actually got 5-sacked and ran out of time at redacted but I just did so much damage that I outran the timer damage.

[river flame]

nah

I'd get a dopamine hit for every epic

randomly

[willow bronze]

modded doesn't necessarily change epic chance

[regal bear]

This build is so much fun when it all comes together. Poseidon attack on Hestia with Poseidon’s legendary (including Breaking Wave and Typhon‘s Fury) combined with Seastorm (including Jolted) and in this instance Epic Rush Delivery. Turns the chambers in Styx into a bouncy castle.

[fathom ember]

Spent 4h playing Gilgamesh to get a sub 8 and at the end got this...

[primal crown]

Yikes

No cod gaming either

[fathom ember]

Whats cod gaming?

[primal crown]

Curse of drowning lol

[fathom ember]

Should I have taken it? I got it offered, I took the thing that speed up god jauge instead

I rarely play Poseidon with my ME build

[primal crown]

In paper it sounds good at least

Tho I'd ask cherry

I don't play gilga

[willow bronze]

The Poseidon call one is not great

All of the call gauge things are bad except for smair p much

[fathom ember]

No no, Hades call but the Poseidon's boon that speeds up the jauge when you take damage

[willow bronze]

Billowing is good

[fathom ember]

Ah ok

[willow bronze]

Yeah that’s what I meant

[fathom ember]

I will know it for next time 😦

Also I got a chaos gate in ely, I made a misclick and picked the thing that hid all doors for 4 rooms. Luckily I didnt miss the shop lol. I might have missed a fountain, I'll never know

I will not grant boiling point since taking damage sucks for heat

Boiling point + maim = call stonks?

[weary cliff]

yes, unironically

meanwhile i farm lava damage in lernie for call charge between phases

it gives you call charge???

yeah you can get call charge after encounters by standing in magma and hitting traps lmao

everything purple but static discharge though... game was trolling you

[summer cove]

first try doing boonless

i definitely might have forgotten to actually level up fated authority so i only had the one roll from a key

but on the other hand i only took casts and calls and then didn’t touch those buttons so i got the dialogue without using a single roll

you basically had two shackles lol, nice!

was this pretty much dash only

no, i was attacking a lot

sea storm would've been much nicer though

[primal crown]

don't even need it for gilga

lightning reflexes does the same

shoals/Beaver would've been nice too

[snow hull]

woohoo all aspects cleared at 32 heat now i can rest

merci-less end

[midnight orbit]

Was doing a gem run to just get my work orders done and instead got the spammiest dash spear in history

[lunar peak]

Dio cast beowulf is better than Poseidon cast beowulf confirmed

I did not expect to get sub 10 on my first try, even after skipping multiple free rooms

[worn eagle]

You're right, it is. However, please use Stygian Soul in the mirror next time you decide to dio-beo

[lunar peak]

I mean.. I rarely use stygian soul because unless you get lucky with chaos/hermes, you're firing out casts at a much slower rate
And in my opinion, the slight inconvenience with having to pick up a cast after the festive fog effect is over doesn't override the advantage you get of having 3 casts off the bat

[tawdry radish]

Haven't played in a year but went up a heat with the Rail. Still got it.

My very first escape! Let's goo!

It was literally 100% pure skill - all I had to do was roll an epic on Aphro attack, get an epic Chaos money boon and an epic Ocean's bounty (later purged) that negated Convenience Fee and allowed me to buy like a billion poms, get the best hammers, get a Death Defiance Chaos boon that's the only reason I survived the Heroes fight, get extra dashes + hyper sprint (two of the best hermes boons). And barely survive the Hades fight by a hair because of some lucky crits.

Literally PURE skill.

To be 100% fair to myself though, I didn't get Patty or any Touch of Styx in the wells and my computer dropped like 3-4 solid frames on the Hades fight for some inexplicable reason. Still though, it doesn't feel completely earned, but I will take the dub either way. Next goal is probably to get a 3 win streak on 40 heat.

[granite python]

nice. there's always some amount of rng involved but even with luck you still need skill for 40 heat

[worn eagle]

Very well done! I would not trust myself to streak anything other than FreshFile but that's probably because I am not experienced enough at it. GLHF on 40 heat streaks!

[fathom ember]

Finally got my sub 8 Beo. One weapon left for sub 8 (bow / Hera)

[fathom ember]

Patty is the reason why a lot of high heat runs are cleared. So not having it balances all the other luck you got lol, dont worry

[hollow jacinth]

First mobile sub 10

[strong ravine]

how long until i get a good run

this no reset stuff is so boring

high 5 high 5 high 5

[strong ravine]

streak again

[lunar peak]

Who actually uses icy flare

[willow bronze]

wha

You took aphro attack and icy flare and didn't take pstatus?

[lunar peak]

oh that might have been a good idea

[willow bronze]

Switch it to aphro flare and dem attack and it's one of the two situations ever you want pstatus

high heat strat^

[lunar peak]

[pallid sundial]

no dark foresight u_u

[midnight nest]

9 minutes is pretty dang decent but I see ur highest heat is only 16

You should try high heat rubs

[river flame]

hmm me either

maybe we just feel like it

[river flame]

"however long it takes"

[blissful pulsar]

How the heck did i win with this

[static bison]

ok so Eris is a much more powerful beast than I formerly used to think
still missing a few boons and the lack of ability for my cursor to land on an enemy immediately (aka aiming)

[river flame]

is the cure to male depression

ransacking your father's domain?

[primal crown]

For rail you should turn off aim at cursor and just let the auto aim do its thing

[thin escarp]

So I just got into the game this is my 13th what ya Think of this build for just the second area :p

[strong ravine]

true shot hera widecharon3

[willow bronze]

Not bad but if you’re only taking arty boons you probably want fully loaded

[thin escarp]

Fully loaded?

[willow bronze]

Artemis legendary. Gives +2 casts

Prereqs are two of pressure points, exit wounds, support fire

[thin escarp]

Idk how to get legs

Never gotten one before

[strong ravine]

not really

the main strat is to not take so many arty boons

[thin escarp]

I just took 2

Since I only found art

It’s only my 12th attempt

Idk much about the game

[pallid sundial]

40 heat win with pos sword, I didn't even expect to go far tbh

Replacing one level of CF and JS by AP1 was pretty useful

AP1 is not too bad as long as I remember that I'm not owed a perfect build by C20 (which is also why I hate ME builds)

[wary sparrow]

Freest eris rail run at low/medium heat ever

I was trying to pom the attack more but kept not getting it and getting only the weak dmg bonus able to be leveled instead, so it ended up giving me 31% extra dmg to anything weak-afflicted

[willow bronze]

"just get the boons"

[wary sparrow]

I mean, the duo boons were the last ones pre-styx from each god i got, aside from Demeter, and in styx i got offered boons and poms, i spent 1100 total coin in styx on poms and boons xD

2x300 pom + an extra hermes hoping for rush delivery

[primal crown]

Something something sell your boons

[wary sparrow]

Believe it or not, i tried, every purging well i got, and i even sold 2 boons, but every time it kept trying to make me sell the really good boons that were actually contributing to my damage in a massive way xD

[primal crown]

Lmfao fair

[wary sparrow]

The opposite of that run

I had 3 boons (discounting Hermes) when i left asphodel

Attack, call, and oceans bounty

Got Merciful End at the only boon in Styx

[short token]

Yay!!!!! I got to Ashpodel 3x, on normal mode

[nocturne spire]

Second-ever 40 heat win. I'm posting this because while I still got relatively lucky in terms of boon rarity, it still feels way more earned than my first run. Much cleaner Heroes and Hades fight, inspite of no Twin Shot. Decent Chaos dash-strike, but no extra DDs needed like last time. Got Patty this time but it didn't really feel like I needed him. All in all, I feel much better about this. It really does feel like I'm getting better, slowly but surely. 3 win streak on 40 heat is still pretty far away unfortunately.

[static bison]

so much pain

imagine how fast it could have been

[bold jolt]

Unfortunate

[static bison]

so visibly upsetting, but also very glad that i could go that fast

[static bison]

how to drain your sanity: stand afk in the champions fight without pausing

[static bison]

...

[pallid sundial]

almost sub10, you're gonna get it soon !

[static bison]

i- have no words

as soon as i get a grip on eris, the game doesnt want me to suceed

eh i can try tommorow

[primal crown]

Just a time save away you got this

(also should swap legacy to pride)

[static bison]

oh yeah

forgot to do that

[static bison]

that timesave has to unfortunately wait

[hollow jacinth]

Also focus on pomming tidal dash to level 4 or so

Scales much better than lightning strike

[earnest adder]

It is not much, but first clear, I humbly declare

[sharp agate]

Awesome!

[earnest adder]

(Ignore “Activate Windows” I’m too lazy to find out how to turn that off)

[river flame]

stand on business ||dad||

[sharp agate]

Build?

[river flame]

you can see it

😈

[sharp agate]

I mean like weapon and stuff

[river flame]

oh, Nemesis stygius

[worn eagle]

but recorded this time!

[ivory sky]

digging some duos. i wanted kinetic launcher tho

[wary sparrow]

"Just get the boons"

[willow bronze]

Bro just got the boons

Average legacy run

[buoyant acorn]

Lol I was looking for Hunting Blades but got Mirage Shot too, funny. Took longer than expected this time though.

[buoyant acorn]

My first Fist win, damn its my fastest time too, I like this build

[lunar peak]

this build actually obliterated styx, I finally got a new rail pb after like over a month (by less than a second)

[buoyant acorn]

I tried this one I was mostly just farming for darkness but didn't expect to beat Hades with this, I had no build in mind, but I also didn't like what I chose this time around for spear:

[static bison]

i am melting inside

[river flame]

Oooh! Nice

Turn on lv 4 bosses.

[bold jolt]

Jazz is going for speed there's no point in doing em4

[ember heart]

another mobile win with my cursed controls, turns out ME is really not necessary for an ME build (im still crying that i never got athena special offered)

[buoyant acorn]

First win with sword! Whew! I've been wanting to do this for the longest time. I messed up at the start by taking gods I didn't want in my pool. Yet I recovered it and still got the DUOs I was looking for. I just spammed the special which had me leap each time I used it, with athena on special. I spammed the hell out of that.

[sand verge]

Best build I've ever gotten on zeus shield, late chamber sack was no match

[pallid sundial]

ngl I feel like the leaping special did 1% of the work and Merciful End did 99% lol

ME is broooken

[lunar peak]

This build was hella fun

[buoyant acorn]

Lmaooo true.

[fathom ember]

Sub 8 Poseidon yesterday which makes it my 9th sub 8 aspect. Slowly but surely… next goal is Hera but it looks so hard 🤣

[river flame]

hmm, shield

I do remember progressing like this

now just wait till he gets to the ||Ceberus bossfight||

[short token]

Yay!!!! I got to ||Hydra||

Yay!!!! I beat Tisphone with Sword and normal mode

[static bison]

;/

could have really used delta chamber

[river flame]

aint gonna cap bro

nobody uses firing mode

just nukes these days

[strong ravine]

wat

[worn eagle]

Non-lucifer rail users in shambles

[sour otter]

hah! killed theseus before his spear could return to him

now it's just sitting here and I WANT TO PICK IT UP

it should be mine, it came to me, it's mine, my...precious

[ember heart]

making a spear collection by collecting the weapons from their corpses a fine addition to my collection

[sour otter]

It rotates, it sparkles. It MOCKS ME

[worn eagle]

GOLLUM

[sour otter]

I mean have you SEEN how pale zag is? And he never seems to age. And he can sometimes even turn invisible if he's got his Hades signet going

[midnight nest]

Hello again

[lunar peak]

this was like a 50 second hades fight, I'm still trying to get that sub 10 hera aspect though...

[primal crown]

Turn off td so you can find survival rooms

Also olympian favor to dark foresight/priv status to fam fav

[sharp agate]

@lunar peak btw if you're looking to speedrun hades, there is a dedicated speedrun server on the speedrun.com page

[lunar peak]

I wouldn't necessarily call it what I consider speedrunning as I don't plan on ever making it anywhere near the top times, I'm just posting my own personal progress towards new personal bests

[sharp agate]

ok cool, just thought you might be interested!

[buoyant acorn]

Oof this was my slowest time, I'm realizing I'd rather not use the eris aspect for the railgun. (Also hard to aim since my controller has some stick drift lmao)

[willow bronze]

Get tidal dash to speed up room clears a lot

It’s worth forcing Poseidon in aspho

[buoyant acorn]

Gotcha thank you I'll do that

[willow bronze]

At that point, you can special a group of enemies, dash into the special for buff, and then just ungabunga

[strong ravine]

do u have aim assist on

[buoyant acorn]

Yep. I use controller

I mean that since I have controller stick drift, it keeps going up when I would rather it not move at all for eris aspect. 🥲

[strong ravine]

i hate this game

its complete and utter garbage

[worn eagle]

ok but what if I don't even need legendaries or duos to do 1 boon FF? (world's first)

[primal crown]

What possessed you to do this

[worn eagle]

idk

[static bison]

alright just posting this here, i think im letting eris get the better of me

[primal crown]

Why do poms hate you so much

[static bison]

i dont know

[primal crown]

Wait, butterfly?

[hollow jacinth]

Yeah u need to get your dash to lvl4

So much damage

[nocturne spire]

2 win streak on 40 heat. Not much, but it's something. I feel so nervos about the next run, it seems pretty unlikely I'll get to a 3 win streak, but I guess we'll see. Extra dashes and Twin Shot completely trivialize the Hades fight, my previous win also had both of those. So I'm not sure that my actual skill level is improving. Oh well. I'm also starting to realize more and more how important it is to have something halfway decent on the Special. It helps to deal with Flame Wheels and Greatshields in Elysium which can otherwise be a real time sink.

My times also aren't really getting better, which is a bit concerning as well. I'm not entirely sure what to do about that lol

[lunar peak]

20 seconds off sub 10, I'm getting there

[surreal briar]

first time beating hades

[willow bronze]

heat time dw about it lol

goal is survival first and foremost

[nocturne spire]

3 WIN STREAK on 40 heat. Oh my god YES, I thought that was going to take far longer than it did. I got very lucky again with Twin Shot and boon rarity but got only one pretty garbo Hermes boon and the Hades fight was still pretty easy, so I think that gives me confidence that my skill is actually improving as well

Mobile

[bold jolt]

When sub6 mobile

[ember heart]

meanwhile my new mobile record (i was about to be proud of this)

tbh this was also touch control

[hollow jacinth]

Nice

I haven’t even tried mobile controls, theres no way id be able to sub7 without controller

[ember heart]

it gets worse when it lags

and for effective dash strikes it's best to put the attack button on the dash button

but you effectively have no iframes

[quaint otter]

Finnaly, took so long

this run was so lucky

[lunar peak]

I finally did the sub 10 hera aspect!!

[short token]

Yay!!!! I beat Magera with Shield again on Normal Mode

next up is good ol Bone Hydra

[nocturne spire]

I was going for a completely for fun run, not even really paying attention, trying to go for Exclusive Access for the sweet purple, didn't get it, assesmbled the most jank build ever

And inexplicably set a new PB. What even is Eris man

[bold jolt]

eris moment

btw if you're trying to get exclusive access, try not to open other duos lmao

although curse of nausea at the end was probably pretty nice

and curse of drowning with the free 75% boost if you actually got close lmao

[short token]

yup

[nocturne spire]

Once I got Ares early I felt like Curse of Nausea was good enough that it was better to open it up early than to cope for Poseidon to happen to show up as well

Of course it worked out that I only got it at the very end but yeah lmao

[pliant marten]

Caron no hit TuT cant belive i did it...

are u a bot or something xD?

[earnest adder]

I think the greater question is how many times shall it take for them to slay Lernie

Cause if this is a block for them, boy is the next region gonna be a damn wall

[short token]

nope human

[sand verge]

40 heat poseidon clear, didn't even have good RNG luck on this one but still defied the odds. Made the mistake of forcing zeus (for lightning phalanx which I didn't get despite numerous optimal odds re-rolls for it) instead of artemis in asphodel, didn't get athena legendary either. Didn't get a single prometheus stone, beat 3/4 of the main bosses with 0:00 left on the clock, but still cleared. Poseidon call actually HAULED in the dad fight so I could deal damage while recollecting my bloodstones

[worn eagle]

gaming, nice possword run (from a fellow enjoyer)!

also no your RNG was not all-too bad as opposed to what you were saying: you got epic athena cast, bunch of cast poms, extra chaos stone, zeus attack jolted, , and poseidon call, an extra death defiance possibility from athena, common flurry cast for safer casting, and holy shield to prevent taking more than one hit at once (no more getting swarmed by speeder-witches or whatever). at that point, lack of lightning phalanx is annoying, but not detrimental to that degree to winning odds :D

if you wish to be less tight on timer next time, consider taking off / turning down Jury Summons

[pallid sundial]

Jury Summon is really harsh yeah

[midnight orbit]

First Boonless run complete. I had a lot of fun outside of my accidental pick of Explosive Shot. NEVER AGAIN
Practically ruined the run.
I also don't know if you can use your companion for these run so I didn't use the Meg companion (I haven't maxed it out, which is why there's 4 instead of 5).

[primal crown]

For the dialogue/clear message you only need to have 0 sellable boons so meg is fine

But also explosive rama is rough so gg

[pallid sundial]

I love explosive rama

you forget about arrows and just bonk enemies on the head with the bow like if it's a club

at least that's how it feels, and how I play it

[midnight orbit]

Well, that's good. So, the extra 7,500 damage I could've done to Lernie, T+A and Dad would've been nice...

[short token]

Yay!!!! I beat Alecto with Shield again on Normal Mode

[midnight orbit]

Definitely what it turned into by the runs' end. Up close dash + attack for 0.5 seconds to slam until I got a lengthy opening to blast

[midnight nest]

Nah bruh you don’t have to keep saying that

Tell us when you beat the hydra at least

[short token]

ok Thanks, sorry

[pliant marten]

108h in of pure joy with Hades ❤ now is time to rip xD

Prestige 13 Gamma Agent >3< enough for now

This railgun run goes creazy T_T best rng in 132 runs.

[quaint otter]

2 IN a ROW, les gooooooooo

[ember heart]

interesting build

[quaint otter]

its the desperate build ;-;

[willow bronze]

Lightning rod and epic lvl 4 jolted is the build

Game beats itself

Literally

[pallid sundial]

aspect of rod strikes again

[ember heart]

am i blind or are there no chaos boons?

[quaint otter]

i never take those

killed me 5 times already

[ember heart]

they are seriously good

[pallid sundial]

also chaos is the GOAT

[ember heart]

best boons in the game especially if you need additional casts, damage or rarity

[pallid sundial]

I really wouldn't say "best" though

Hermes is right there

hyper delivery goes brrr

[ember heart]

yeah but when did you ever get rush delivery

[pallid sundial]

touché

[ember heart]

i get it once every 50 runs or so

[willow bronze]

chaos can be very 'time to reset' on AP2

doesn't mean I don't gamble though :croven:

[pallid sundial]

I can't believe Hades doesn't approve of Chaos through his process

[willow bronze]

bureaucracy is inescapable, even by the primordial originator

[lunar peak]

After finally comprehending the true power of flurry jab + Achilles, I almost beat my 2 sack Achilles pb with a 4 sack run LOL

Wouldve so easily been sub 10 if I had gotten a 2 sack

[quaint otter]

flurry jab is so fun to play with

[pliant marten]

if easier to get it if u are wearing the feather since it can appear with the 1º interaction with hermes.
my fastest time was with a spear where i get a s*t ton of speed bonuses and triple dash atk hammer xD

[short token]

Yay!!! I finally beat Tisphonie with Fist on Normal Mode

Yay!!! I finally beat Hydra with Fist on Normal Mode

[ember heart]

that's true but you still need hyper sprint because those 50% of 30% aren't that much advantage and you relinquish at least one god boon that could've been very useful especially since you got 2 hermes boons guaranteed

and for it to be of use means feather from tartarus onwards

so really no keepsakes

[ember heart]

5-sack...

[pallid sundial]

unmodded be like

[ember heart]

soon i'll have smth i can play modded on (i hope)

[sharp agate]

Common doom

[pallid sundial]

inshallah

[round falcon]

this build was so fun

im trying to see if curse of nausea is any good and it felt strong with the hangover damage but i also did a ton of damage w pos

i mainly tried to go for curse of nausea so took stygian soul because i assumed i would get trippy shot

and i literally got 2+ casts from chaos lmfao

[ember heart]

two things i never thought i'd say in my life:

1. hades mobile with touch controls isn't that bad
2. Demeter carried the run

from common doom to heroic doom in the course of a two sack styx is actually very impressive (and a bigger gamble than the anvil imo)

if only hermes was willing to give me rd smh

[worn eagle]

Got another 40 heat done

Dem fist is so fun

Though tbh half my build was dio call + smair, not gonna lie

in fact, on Hades, it was n°1 damage, with special being a very close second

The difference is that special could have gone much farther with a good second hammer, and with playing better. Whereas dio call could have used just curse of nausea

[worn eagle]

PLUPPER HAMMER

[pallid sundial]

I legit only took it because I wanted to see if it worked on dash-uppers

The other options were long knuckle and the +60% dash strike one, so kinda sad but oh well

I still won

[willow bronze]

That sounds like a whole build tbf

[pallid sundial]

It ended up being half of one, but yeah

[willow bronze]

The other half is jolted

[pliant marten]

exclusive access since tartarus x.x gg....

[pallid sundial]

nah jolted didn't do that much in the end. Special was the other half, with like 20% being zeus ? Yes it doesn't add up to 100%. Maths weren't invented back then.

[willow bronze]

Yeah

[willow bronze]

That looks like exclusive access to me

[pliant marten]

oh D: yep, looks like XDD ... i though he mean that boon

gotta change the tittle so >n<

[lunar peak]

Spear sub 10 is down! Two more weapons to go

[strong ravine]

the worst elysium i have ever had

[bold jolt]

ely moment

[sharp agate]

2:15 is a little sad coming off a 2:32 front half

[strong ravine]

its completely horrendous coming off from any front half

[quaint otter]

This run was the easiest one i had, Very high damage output and 300 health with 3 revives on final boss. After beating hades once, the game got easy for no reason

[lunar peak]

its the need to see mother again that pushes you to skill levels never thought possible before

[midnight nest]

Except mine 💀

But I don’t speed run much tho

(at all)

[ember heart]

i just can't get lucky smh...

[quaint otter]

Absolute god run. My casts were basically playing the game by itself And absurd rng again

[sharp agate]

Where Pom

[quaint otter]

?

[strong ravine]

i hate this game

[nocturne spire]

good news: my PB is back on 40 heat rama
bad news: literally SECONDS away from sub 12. I had a moment of SLIGHT cowardice for NO reason in the redacted fight that cost me the sub 12

The Chaos curses are turning out to be so important for good runs that I'm sometimes wondering whether it's worth it to run Cosmic Egg in Asphodel or Elysium

[indigo basin]

my luck

[sand verge]

This one was from yesterday, but this was 40 heat achillies clear, now have 40 on all weapons, working on 32 heat with all aspects (shout out to bouldy)

knocked out 32 heat nemesis first, couldn't get heart rend without the full mirror, but zeus + dash + i frame abuse hard carried through dad

[spiral dock]

50 clears in a row????

Or do I missunderstand?

[strong ravine]

i mean it’s not that hard to keep an indefinite streak going

i had like 130 before i switched saves

and that was when i sucked

but no this is a clean wiped speedrun save

they have 50 runs to start with

[worn eagle]

As jazz said, it's really not that difficult to take a winstreak infinitely far once one has unlocked all unlockables and played the game a fair bit.

[crude forum]

no idea how well you can see this BUT out of both save files with 25+ escapes total this is my fastest time

[ember heart]

nice

~~actually yes comment, i only got divine dash in styx and i'm too bad to proc doom via special ~~

[pallid sundial]

400 damage doom

A shame about the dash

[ember heart]

yeah and with all the other boosts it was about 520 per proc

[terse totem]

yeah✌

[sand verge]

First time I ever used Chaos shield, 32 heat. Only time I used defiance was when I was intentionally taking damage to heal. Strong but weird aspect

[strong ravine]

strong is definitely a word

[sand verge]

sure is lol

[strong ravine]

perhaps the word ever

i never thought it would be used to describe chaos though

[bold jolt]

It's a shield with charged shot why are you shocked that it does good damage

[nocturne spire]

First ever sub-12 let's GO! It was entirely becasue of Boudly (ignore the hyper delivery!)

[bold jolt]

big gaming

if you're trying to grind out 40 heat speed, ap1 over dc2 will give you faster times but less viable runs overall

fiery presence to 1 shot off spawn is pretty big for speed

[nocturne spire]

yeah I'm debating that, I'm starting to get more into speedrunning. but man do I hate ap1

[bold jolt]

yeah it really sucks lmao

[grizzled gust]

I did not take a screenshot but I just finished the main story!

[bold jolt]

there isn't any other place that can take 2 heat off so it's ap1 unfortunately

[nocturne spire]

I've seen cf1 hs ap1 which seems extra cursed but I guess that's just a skill issue on my part

IMO, I'll try to get a sub 10 with this setup, as I think that's purely a skill thing, and then if I end up wanting to go further I might switch pacts

[bold jolt]

cf also sucks for speed since it's harder to get a good build earlier via shop which is why cf1 hs is taken over cf2 lol

and the ap1 thing is like filler bc everything else adds up to 38 lmao

[nocturne spire]

true, I got very lucky here in that I got both aphro and arty in tartarus with a good rarity

[bold jolt]

39 if cf2 but youre out of 1 heat pacts

[nocturne spire]

basically I'm just scared of hs ap1, ap1 is real unfun and hs is too much of a skill check for a pleb like me lol

[bold jolt]

totally doable yeah, you dont have a good 2nd hammer for bossing lmao

and also not considering stuff like room skips and whatnot

[bold jolt]

fair hs and ap1 is pretty horrible

[nocturne spire]

I'll have to do it eventually, I'm planning to work up to 50 heat at least

[bold jolt]

hs gets better over time until you get potted at the end lmao

oh fair

[nocturne spire]

But for now, I'll just try and refine my 40 heat runs, I think it's a decent base

I think at this point, given rare/epic aphro attack chamber 1, I can beat 40 heat like 80% of the time, which is a lot more than I could say when I started

[bold jolt]

nice

if you're training for 50 heat, maybe do 45 and take js3 cp1 and idk hs or just do 44 lmao

[nocturne spire]

my next jump is gonna be em4 probably, because it's inevitable

but that's a long ways off lol

[bold jolt]

at 50 it's either em4 or ap2 lmao

[nocturne spire]

god ap2 sounds horrific

I don't even wanna think about it

[bold jolt]

idk i've put up with it instead of learning em4 lmao

you are using mods so hammer and first boon is less cringe

[nocturne spire]

true

[short token]

||I killed Hades on GOD MODE||, Should I get all Keepsakes and 100% it? Before playing Normal Mode

[earnest adder]

You should definitely just keep trying on Normal Mode to complete the game once, get better in that mode and progress naturally there, unless you wanna experience the story faster

[quaint otter]

Somehow, with the railgun i managed to not die once, but every other weapon i cleared with i died. And now i undestand the power of chaos boons, made another super op cast build

[pallid sundial]

Assault rifle kinda good in 400bc greece

[grizzled gust]

I love that they straight up gave us a gun

Hera: You have my bow
Poseidon: And my sword
Hestia: And my glock!

[quaint otter]

i was very surprised the first time i saw the railgun

i even checked the wiki for the time the game passed

did not find that info tho

[pallid sundial]

It's not sure, my headcanon is 400bc

Given it's some time after the trojan war

Or was it 300bc ?

A few centuries before our era basically

[short token]

ok thanks

[balmy carbon]

hi this is my first message in this server ! this wasnt my best run but i just wanted to post something here

[pallid sundial]

GG !

Bouldy carry

[balmy carbon]

new fastest !

[ember heart]

congrats

[grizzled gust]

First post-ending run (not counting one where it crashed right after I defeated Hades)

First time using aspect of demeter too

[grizzled gust]

First clear with the gun!

[willow bronze]

Nice dio attack

[grizzled gust]

I love hangover

Just hit enemies a few times and then watch as their health bar shrinks while you do nothing

[pallid sundial]

meh, with a lvl1 hestia you might as well play it like a normal rail

[ember heart]

or a level 10 epic aphro attack because you love acting like you use a shotgun

[willow bronze]

Might as well play eris then

[quaint otter]

Five win streak, lets go. Btw the shield is very fun to play with

[willow bronze]

Common blitz disc gaming

Take zeus spec until it’s epic or leg

[balmy carbon]

first 8 heat !!! wasnt that bad

[grizzled gust]

Nice!

[primal crown]

clockets gaming, rip the special tho

[lunar peak]

such a relief to do a beowulf run again after trying to get sub 10 with all these crappy builds for a little while, just barely missed the sub 10 mark with this one though

[hollow jacinth]

So close

Reckon with family favourites you would’ve got it

[primal crown]

or dad call

[strong ravine]

wh

what is the zeus keepsake

why is that there

what

[lunar peak]

errr ignore all that, this wasn't a serious attempt

[bold jolt]

when sub6

[hollow jacinth]

Soon

[lunar peak]

random fists run I decided to post because it got me like a 40 second hades kill

[midnight orbit]

how

[strong ravine]

how wat

[hollow jacinth]

Magic (practice)

[torpid terrace]

Hard game :P

🥶

[bold jolt]

eris moment

big gaming

[strong ravine]

you know its eris when the cracked build still only does 2k in a clocket

[willow bronze]

average 0 heat eris with BiS everything except cast

[torpid terrace]

What is BiS

[spiral dock]

W second win

[torpid terrace]

W bro

[spiral dock]

Thank you ☺️

[willow bronze]

best in slot

like ideal

you have the speedrun meta boons for eris so ofc it shreds

[strong ravine]

did it really shred tho

[willow bronze]

i mean

[torpid terrace]

What is the best cast for that build

[willow bronze]

it atleast wasn't difficult

eh

[strong ravine]

it didnt even come close to instaphasing

[willow bronze]

yeah that's fair

maybe if you kept buff up befre 2.2 you could've

[strong ravine]

the fight was like 47 seconds

[willow bronze]

honestly anything that lodges

bc you want boiling blood for special damage

[torpid terrace]

Oh ye does it make the fight quicker

[willow bronze]

playing better makes the fight quicker idk

but clockets is your primary source of damage in heroes and dad

[torpid terrace]

Yh

[willow bronze]

so BB important there

[torpid terrace]

I'll try to cast first next time

[willow bronze]

also if you're trying to speedrun, use EM2 and FO2

[torpid terrace]

What are those
