EM2 makes the lernie arena smaller so it's faster. FO2 makes enemies move, attack, and spawn in faster
the last one is most important for FO2 but attack speed also helps proc jolted more often
Yeah I'll put those next time 👍 Was just having fun that run trying to gain as much darkness as possible
That was really fast 😭
Sounds good
(Those settings will make runs pass quickly so more darkness)
True, thanks for the tips
i combined a super strong bow with 380 health... (died twice to charon)
Arthur 32 heat clear, killed some poor dude in elysium on a 4230 damage hit
followed by a 32 gilgamesh clear afterwards, took 0 damage in the dad fight. Build was STUPID op.
Big aspect of Hades!
<@&456908176877551658> do with this as you will
idk what's sadder, that he did this, or that he's still the only member in it...
Gud run
this was something lmao, hearing dem yell was so iconic
the only recorded run to use winter harvest
im in love with the bow
Phalanx shot with explosive is crazy
from like 3 months ago
thx
at what point are you supposed to take lc then 🤔
i have a friend who gets ice wine a freakish amount of times, so i kinda wanted to die when i got it myself and won immediately
You ideally max it out from 32h lol
It's pretty good to max relatively early
as soon as normal rooms start becoming a pain... Which, considering Elysium, might very well be 0 heat
this isnt that good of a victory its just me getting awful luck on chaos lol
i rerolled thrice
Where hermes
sold his boon cause i was forced to 😔
Also at most I'd swap aphro into atk/ares vengeance boon
That way you get the full benefit of Cshot
Also avoid dread flight (tho idk if I have the icon wrong lol)
ohhh your right your right i just worked with whatever i got tho
noted noted
looks like a chaos special build to me
-100/10
i barly play it i wanted to try something fun 😭
that build does not look like everything going right
i think actually 0% of these boons are good
why tho hedes hp was melting 😭
i guess sweet surrender is fine
huh
what do you mean by melting
can u estimate how long the fight lasted
that fight was so fast with build
like minute
these are very conflicting statements
but id still be shocked if this build even hit 60 seconds
there’s just no damage
there is a lot tho
is there
this is what i would call a lot of damage https://youtu.be/FXwcigljfSQ?si=7usEXpRd7NzcwDE3
i see its not compared to that
but hades was getting cooked i assure you that
i mean it worked out in the end
yeah and i didnt even loss life
Jazz fully honest, can you stop with this everytime a build like this is posted
i went there with 120 hp
what do u want me to say tho
i’m giving my thoughts
my thoughts are that the build is not good
for real your thoughts man
but sometimes its not just about killing hades in instant i had fun with that fight and it was enought
you can give your thoughts will still being positive instead of just saying "your build sucks and the aspect you enjoy playing sucks" pretty easily
it's not particularly hard but you just choose not to do that every time lmao
Using mods is perfectly fine but dont go around trashing the builds of those who dont use mods
jazz can't speedrun constructive criticism LOL
Mods were not the issue here
Jazz just doesn’t like anything that isn’t any heat flood flare beo
Jazz just doesn’t like anything that isn’t any heat flood flare beo 
Jazz just doesn’t
🗿
Haven't played the game for a month or two and came back in with this run... I think I got theseus and asterius in about 30 seconds
(also got epic rd out of this)
I DID IT
I BEAT IT WITH THE ONE LIFE THING ON FROM THE MIRROR
Rather than the 3 lives
Ahhhh finally sweet fated choice is mine
That is the most scared I have EVER been of beating the final boss ever
clockets are very balanced
God I hated doing that, so stressful. Congrats!
cries in didn't export my first win screenshot from my old switch
Oh well, I can always make a new one >:)
Thank you so so much, it was so stressful
Sword so bad ;-; atleast i beat it
do artemis attack + aphrodite special for high crits and easy sword win
(get the artemis/aphro duo ofc)
Oh shoot my last message had the victory screen for a very different run
This is what I meant to send (dash strike go brrr)
my first real attempt at eris rail after like over month, got decent rng but my aim is incredibly rusty
TIL having too many things on your boon screen makes the victory info get a little (or I assume possibly a lot) covered.
Someone confirm, but I think aim at cursor is often turned off for rail
Got through with the aspect of arthur, even though I kept running outside the sacred ground
Whoops
No doubt, the highest dps ive ever had
And with that, I finally have all weapons sub 10!
so many atk chaos
strongest eris bullet in the west
You are very wrong
I dont see any sub 3 minute hestia runs ngl
Routed moment
From a normal gameplay standpoint tho they're about equal
Just personal preference
unfortunately eris sucks
I dont see any sub 3 minute beowulf runs ngl
you must not be looking very hard
What
waiit whatt?
thats crazy
Finally got it done. Incredible run through Elysium, a bit of sloppiness from nerves in Styx but I had enough of a lead to secure the PB and first ever sub-3! Not sure what's next, lot of things I want to do. Will probably be category hopping for a few days until I settle on something.
Route Information:
Intro to Routed Runs by Museus7 - https:...
Well there’s this one
But runcontrol gets down to 2:0x
theres a routed 258 anyways
Yeah
Bouldy carry
In bouldy we trust
One must believe in bouldy
One must believe bouldy carrying
uggghhhhh
note to self
don’t get insane rng on my first run in a month
6 minutes into elysium and then maybe my best elysium and best styx ever
i blame the rust
eurydice ambrosia hitting rush delivery and crush shot was pretty nice
I AM SPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED 
Nyooom
hadnt played in months, first run in a while
I now know the power of Merciful end
ME stronk
Td2 with a td3 time remains a classic
Meme beam my goat
?
Somehow it is almost always a constant that one uses the 7m timer but ends up with a run that fits into the 5min timer
Oh LOL.
Mobile 
Rip
Unfortunate
yeah I forgot to change the settings from a different aspect
35 heat let's gooo
First spear win lol
After grinding the crap out of 47 for a good day, I finally got one run through. Didn't get smair until styx but pretty much had permanent 56% dodge chance for dad fight and took 0 damage.
Absolutely, I'm confident with a little luck I can get it
Though tonight was my last chance to get a 47 clear until a weekend trip so that felt great
havent played in a while but i had a good run :D
Well done 🙃
lucky ahh run
First very fast run, sub-20 min. (and 10 streak too)
this one was fun
Ggs
GGs
Ggs
probably easier if you use a different everything
what's best weapon to beat it
if you use any aspect in the game other than gilgamesh that’s a better option
Take a look at bananas 32 heat guide pinned in #h1-high-heat-strategies
Then just throw on some extra heat
good run, got the ely skip but early game and styx weren't what they needed to be
how do you get the heart of stone boon?
forgor to screenshot but
stood on business when I saw that fishing point on the surface
If you can do 40 on fists, you’re probably doing well enough to do 50+ on a safer weapon like shield or rail. Feel free to grind gilga 50 tho 👍
Take LC4, JS2, AP1, TD3?
I think thats 50
And feel free to stop at 45 and 48 to acclimate to JS2+TD
new best time! I know it's not great but I'm working on it :)
If you turn off tight deadline, you can get Tartarus survival rooms, which is a skip
ooo thanks for the tip!
Also swap shadow presence to fiery/privileged status to fam fav
Authority to persuasion too but idk how much dariness you have
an improvement
Have you not been offered charged shot?
Also don’t take lrod
nah - both my hammers only offered special buffs :(
It makes it harder to pick up casts
Rip
Also try not to dilute your boon pool so you can put as many Poms into cast as possible
i shall keep that in mind
Common gets value through lvl 10-12
I shall attempt another run and see how it goes with all this new stuff down :)
If you’re speedrunning the speedrunning server has lots more advice from people who actually play Beowulf
im guessing I can find that on the speedrunning website?

thank you - I'll go check it out

Gamer
gaming! massive ggs.
been a few months but played hades II and had to go back to the original... 3 duo boons tho... its a good thing too im washed lol
purged 2 duos omw
I think I got all the aviable ones
Lost my streak ç-ç
Back to back PBs. Made my Zagfists PB, switched to Talos and made my Talos PB in 1 run lol. Objective is top be top 10 on the leaderboard, that's enough for Zagfists but not for Talos (need 7.15)
Would you believe me if I told you that's my 3rd PB in 3 runs? 0 reset, nothing, wtf.
Back to back to back
1 Zagfists PB into 2 Talos PBs lol
Yeeeee
I still got it
So i just got my first W
…on run 4
…on a freaking mobile port 
That's a /r/Hades thing!
I get it. Given the way Reddit works, I think first-win posts would clog up the place pretty quickly
most people post them anyways 
only 32+ and sub10 allowed here
Victory screens aren't even allowed really but people do them anyways lmao
ohh thats where i heard it
its where i got the link to this placd
Mhm
As opposed to all the other things that clog up Reddit quickly 
I for one welcome first wins here
Even if I visit this channel rather sparingly
Newcomers need all the good energy they can get for all the tough challenges ahead
God tier run
wait, 6s heroes kill? or a i'm dumb?
yes
wow
surprised it was only 6
Just barely missed insta kill on bull
how many braids did u have
2
Yay 6 heat
I have finally beat 32 heat just before hades 2 come out
slowly working my way up to 32 heat i guess
why not just go for it now? it's not at all as hard as it seems
well i thought that jumping to it would be too hard but now that you say it i will try and do it next time i play
ive got nothing to lose either way !
(except my streak
go get 'em
jumps of 4-6 heat are pretty reasonable before 50
i mean 16 to 32 is a 16 heat jump so uh
yeah idk if i'd go straight to 32 but maybe hit 24 and then 32
ill probably just add LC4 to whatever i just did first
go 40 trust
seems like a plan
a lot is filler heat
Damn Lvl 11 crush shot
Did you get any extra casts or cast bonus dmg from chaos?
no 😭 didnt get a single chaos gate
Finished my 20 heat run for Rail! It was probably the easiest Hades fight I've ever had. Can you guess why?
Thought it would be better than upping health or damage
Missing out on rerolls/dark foresight sucks
Early hard labor is chill/could start practicing forced overtime too if you wanna go higher
True, but I got those from key rooms
because eris
Clearly, you know rail.
Lol, didn't know it had a name. Love just dashing up to an enemy and less than a second later they've been turned to ash.
RI doesn't get taken until close to like 50 lmao
Ri0 50 is also kinda comfy lol
Ok, I took a break from hades, a month or so, and the first run after I did this.
With the chaos egg
Since I wanted to do the challange
aphro spear... you were using the charge attack?
Nope
Aphro is pretty great in my opinion
Her damage buff is great plus she has an effect where weak enemies get more damage
Thanks
i mean +100% on 20 damage sounds awesome, but it isn't much, quick little damage weapons prefer damage boosts like zeus or ares where you get a set amount of damage on top (like lighting + jolted is very popular or ME) where as slow heavy weapons prefer percentage boosts
but yeah if it works it works
is the normal attack even 20? but i think you get my point
Huh. Intresting to know, thanks for explaining
I'll definetly try diffrent combos with time, but I gotta say that I like aphro
mhm
forgot to post it but here
wasnt that bad huh
??
ERIS SPREAD FIRE 
styx exclusive access 
FInally 32 heats 🔥 
Soon 40
real (i’d win)
Proud bearing 
Poseidon’s aids the best 
ik i got some bad boons
first sub-10!
Gg
That's dio
Close second
first 32 heat :)
Finally beat 32 heat with fists
we are getting so many 32h wins 
real
probably some stuff i could have done differntly, but i was lucky to get the duo
kinda crazy, i had athena dash AND attack so doom was always procing
2nd hermes where
not sure lol
pretty sure i only had one hermes?
sprint boost after dash
oh and the one that gives you some move speed after a fast clear
That's his keepsake
yeah one hermes then
Which bonus is removed when unequipped
Getting rush delivery from hermes would've been perfect
First win with the fists
mhm that's uh
very interesting
tbh i'm questioning how you even manage to pull this off 😭
I don't know myself😂
I even had 2 death defiances left, and I didn't refill them once
Though to be fair it was without heat
Since I hadn't beat hades with the fists before
I think what helped was the thingy that made weak enemies receive more damage
And the thing from demeter that made me do more damage when I didn't have my throw things
And then I just hit my special with the occasional attack and throw to reapply weak
The aphro supremacy
Aphro raigns supreme
Damn
How many of yall use stubborn defiance?
Ever since I could first unlock it’s all I use
I have a much more faster pace chaotic style so I think I benefit from it as I’m trying to clear runs as fast as possible and I take a lot of dmg
Never tried it. Trying to first fill out the things I currently use before investing in new things
I feel like it’s better for higher heat heat runs
Could be, I'll definetly try it at some point
me
🤝
SD pretty much a requirement above 32 heat
You’re not really at a risk of dying when speedrunning so DD is taken so you can be more aggressive in bosses
What heat
But it’s because honestly I’m just a idiot who likes to take dmg lmao
Just be mindful about when to pop SD for health
Asphodel magma alone
Yeah yeah that’s what I do
You can use troves, magma, and traps to reset
I like it for that too
Bc like with death defiance like yes it heals more but I’ll be like on 1 hp in the next encounter cause I didn’t buy heals or took chaos boons
So I like to reset my health with SD
Yeah sounds about right
Was able to beat 32 heat again, without mirage shot this time. I also didnt lose a single dd during the hades fight
i don't know if it's an in-game reaction but it seems that i defeated Theseus so fast that shades keep gossiping about it and even Hades mentioned i made a fool out of him hahahah
love that
poor Theseus
I’m pretty sure the game doesn’t track how fast you kill bosses specifically it may just be a side effect of killing him
Wow a sub 5:30!

Congrats 🎉
first victorty boast in a while, still trying to reach it lads
My best blade rift build @heavy solar
Sweet
FYI: You can rotate images taken with your phone in your camera roll (at least on apple)
Pretty sure other phones can too I just wouldn’t know how
Lmao XD
I will do that next time lol
Mobile sub 6 and overall unmodded pb
bro what
Unmodded mobile gaming
damn
Been grinding for Sub-10 for a couple days, but getting poor RNG and admittedly not fully knowing the best optimizations for runs.
Previous best was 10:42.
Safe to say I am starting to understand as I skipped straight to 9:02.
based pfp imo
W to yall 🔥🔥
Was gonna do 24 heat achilles in preparation for 32 heat achilles next, but I am not doing 32 heat achilles anytime soon after how this round went 😭
not even splitting bolt can save non flurry jab achilles's dps
ig im just bad with spear in general
What’s the dmg on common lighting strike?
Like on lvl 5
18-21 I'm guessing
mother of god i was SWEATING
y
blasted thru all of my death defiance
I BEAT A RUN WITHOUT A DEATH DEFIANCE
I TURNED MINE OFF WITHOUT KNOWING
DIDNT EVEN NOTICE TILL ELYSIUM
Thank god I did cuz I put on skelly at the end for surface
Aspect of nemesis broken
Does this boon help, I never equip it because it didnt seem worth it( I meant keepsake)
Also how are yall doing high heat runs with shield
Its the clunkiest weapon for me
Which one?
I meant keepsake sorry😭
AH
Im on that skelly gaming, the pine gaming and the nyx shawl gaming
At 3 star if I destroy every pot per room i can find one every other or 3rd room (just like a single piece of food worth 10 health)
which means i can save money and not blow it on healing items
espically with the wells I installed and the upgrades that i have turned on for the Mirror which also heal
at least for me?? bc its like 6% but i see them ALOT
It says 3% and Im like its already not gonna proc a lot
Does it actually only do 10 hp
Or is it like 10%
i have no idea what i start with tbh i just ZOOM and pray for the best
I start with ones I need some levels in if I dont want a specific boon
Like spear is flexible so I can start with any I want imo though I havent played spear is a while
you always want to start with a god keepsake
Nah Im on that turn timer off and slowly spam special attack on a spear gaming
i live by the spear
i tries the rail gun and was kiiinda liking it but eeeh
yeah
ive been looking into starting with uh
idk which god's keepsake but I thought about it HAH
I got into fists now
I like them now
I also have a max zag fists and found both the get dodge after call and 20% dodge boon so using it was fun
43 Hera clear, should've played the lottery today. Had blackout offered as well but that was crossed out. If only...
used dio keepsake in tartarus, somehow left tartarus with trippy flare + pressure points + support fire, sold dio attack (I got titans), then used art keepsake and got it on the asphodel miniboss after 1 reroll
Phase 2 dad, 5x trippy + meg + ful Art call instantly took out 50%
first clear ever, it only took me 82 tries 😂
how many tries did you need for your first clear?
its so safe
until the block just doesn't work but it usually does 👍
~20
How is your real time more than double clear time lmao
dw about how many tries it takes though, this is just the beginning of the game
used bathroom
this is normal
on high heat runs less so
but a sub12 in rta is usually sub6 in igt
a sub13 in rta around sub630
Guys I just stepped away from the keyboard 🗿🗿
87
SUB 8 LETS GO
If submit to Speedrun.com, it'd be rank No. 449. Ugh, i'm loving it.
holy jeez
certified orang moment
23]
Oh same lol
Very funny run because I don't think I've ever made this many decision making mistakes in a single run.
Speedrunning modpack + first boon epic
nice
This should not have worked
I only won this because it was heat 0 and I outdamaged hades
Like, I lost 2 death defiances by just spamming the shot thingy (cast?) and getting them back with the special
Which then also did damage because of artimis' thingy
Won with four heat. The next heat levels will be with the bosses ugraded
The run did not go as I wanted. I Originally wanted aphro for my special and zeus for my normal attack, but zeus refused to give me his normal attack, so I had to improvise
dude how do you manage to pull all this off
This time it was the max. rarity ares special, the thing hammer thing that made it pingpong to up to 7 enemies giving them all doom, and the aphro ares duo boon making weak enemies that receive doom get half the doom damage every few seconds
Also this is weird, but it lets me get rewards for heat 4 even though I just did that
Was the one before that heat 3? Or is this one heat 5? Or is it just a glitch?
Or did I do heat 4 and it gave me the rewards for heat 3?
But I think I did heat 3 already?
Check your run history. Something like this probably happened
Can I do that ingame? In the archieves?
Yeah
Ok
Is there a place I can literally look at what heat I've used in how many runs?
Because I don't see it
in the administration you can look at all past runs (failed or not)
I don’t think that datapoint is saved
But yeah you can look at total run history and count I guess
that's the closest i'd say
Alright thanks
Ok I know what happened
I never beat the game with one heat
Then I beat it twice with 2 heat
And I also never beat it with 3 heat
Just once with 4 heat
do 32
yes
Finally got heat 40 done and I'm pretty proud about the build I got: I've been trying to use Hestia's aspect but found it difficult to deal damage during the reload so I tried using Ares' doom and it worked. 🙏
Damn
I didn't know that battle rage took effect when breaking Hades' skull projectiles too
how is strong drink 66%
do you have the demeter boon that makes healing heal more
yeah I got nourishing soul
was pretty lucky, I got it right before the fountain at the Styx
the strong drink I mean
indeed
i HIGHLY didn't expect to make it out alive
dont worry its really really bad
the best sword hammer is double edge
flurry slash is actively negative
and p much run ruining instantly
I never played a round with the blade since my first few before I unlocked the spear
and somehow I managed to make it thru
I just want the feeling I got having that and attack healing with hermes attack speed :,^)
objectively wrong
was a crazy run
its literally unplayablr
I'd show a clip of me using it but I don't think we can right? Just photos here?
you used literally wrong
flurry slash is literally unplayable
I mean i made it through with it- soo?
granted my playstyle is acting like the floor is literal lava at all times
i never dash strike regardless
at least on purpose
🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿
I tend to not use dash strike either unless I have the hammer upgrades for it :P
🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿 🗿
Oh no! Y'all are murdering jazz 
granted I dash more than i walk so it probably just happens without me knowing
this was the build I had
that looks crazy
tbh i had to choose between cursed slash and flurry
but i was like
already struggling with health so I chose it instead
cursed slash is also completely garbo
Fair enough, it was hail mary kind of build anyways :,^)
I had flurry slash once with the athena deflect on attack and hermes 30% attack speed boons and it was the funniest run ever
i rlly wanted to fight hades with it but i think i got cut down in the elysium boss
Holding a prayer circle so u will find it in ur next daedalus upgrade
This looks like so much fun 😭😭😭
Bro, you were zooming thru those chambers
trying to find a screenshot of my best run and found this
man that would've been good too, especially if you had the backstab boost
well I cant find the actual end screen which is a bummer
Tbh i was fine fighting things from the front
Like I’d stand right in front of purple lernie and deflect its wave attacks back instantly
the hell you mean level 23
a strat I found was to take the shield, go aphrodites charm, and then go for nothing but poms
then try and get pulverizing blow
it worked a lot
U madlad
ive gotten a couple times under 14 mins with that strat, its my #1 go to ever since I saw it somewhere
That’s insane 😭😭 i tried the heat challenge where you have 9 min to clear one layer of the underworld and still couldn’t make it wdym you cleared it in 14 min !!!!
if u practice u can get under 6 or 5
I might try it next time i played because i’ve just been trying to get boons for the prophecy list but it’s starting to get rare to see untouched boons
Mr Speedrun i don’f have the soul for that just yet
mash sprint, do not stop, pause if you have to do something while the timer is ticking
also just find a build that works quick for you
I personally could never get the bow or the rail sub 20 mins, but some people go crazy with those
I will remember these words the day i decide to do a speedrun but for now i love fishing too much
fair enough
funnily enough, out of the very few things I have never been able to do, I am still missing 1 fish
Brooo
Do you know which one
The ever elusive underworld fish…
Or overworld
I’ve still yet to find a fishing spot in the overworld so if it’s from there i get u
Underworld one
1st layer I think, the rare one
Ive caught over 100(i think) fish, never seen it
That thing has heard of ur reputation and is hiding from you
You have to seek it out
A bot in here did not like me referencing a certain infamous whale so i guess i’ll just call you that fish’s Ahab
This worked relativly well
Divine dash carried
it REALLY did
wayyy too lazy to upload this to my phone but i was looking through my switch screenshots and found a pretty silly run
level 5 aphrodite on attack because it’s hard to see
Lmao
Big pp
if only they were atk/dash poms
i think the crit chance was funny though
Deadly strike at home
Big pp you got there
Yeah is def more funny
This is was actually the highest damage ive ever had on beowulf, and it happened to be on a 32 heat run 😭
I think im ready for 40 heat
You got this!
this was scary !
Aphro supremecy!!! No, in all seriousness I didn't want a basically all aphro boon run, but luck dictated it to be like this
oh right didnt think about it thanks
i mean beo can get backstabs right ?
like the casts
No
Now get explosive return
If I'll ever play with the shield again, I will
Although it doesn't really work that great I've tried
It’s best hammer on Zeus
My first 40 runs were shield runs
Then I switched to spear and I beat it in like 5 after that
Well how were you playing shield
Zeus is arguably the safest since you can have something do damage while you’re blocking
Probably badly
I find it to boring to just sit behind the shield blocking until every thing is dead
Also I remembered, I tried something else where it said the next 2 attacks after hitting with your special deal 60% more damage
And that was the one I've tried that didn't work like I wanted it to
Shield can have a pretty active playstyle if you get explosive return
not high heat but this is the kind of build that makes me wanna take a break because it’s not happening again for a while
oh that’s a pb for shield cool
Arthur is super fun, got the best hammer combo (I think?), went for heart rend / deadly reversal, only heart rend came up but it was crossed out. Somehow got fully loaded again today.
ooh i should try arthur
I feel like it's mad underrated - it hits like a truck and gives you extra hp too
I like Arthur solely for the fact that it forces you to think a bit before you swing since it's not so rapid in dealing damage
the extra HP is nice too
cursed is funny on arthur since you could stack damage reduction and just lifesteal
and dedge still king unfortunately
breaching after that
My best run so far LOL i like the fists a ton
I'm a bit surprised you went overtime with that build
but lvl 3 common doom kinda sad
I just set a new heat pb at 36... without an attack boon
The real crime here is no mirage lol
pride + ap1 moment
well maybe if I had gotten my artermis attack that wouldnt be the case
I did technically have the call but wtv
Real
Yeah but dedge on Arthur boring, I like big sexy numbers
yo you got any good tips for clearing the heat 32 or 36 (for the third statue)
I just can't seem to get that
Guan Yi is so fun to play with, my second favorite aspect rn. And i had to actually dodge the attacks this time, did not get carried by the run (just by the Guan Yi, lol)
hestia is fairy free for 32
just throw on aphro on attack and you'll be good to go
I just beat EM4 for the first time! And got to try out a powerful build. Feels great!
hell yeah
tripe duo boon
idk how i managed to get them
also artemides call is just op
It's a great feeling
What is that clear time 
if you’re playing hestia just go conch and force splash dash
any percentage attack works at a decent rarity you don’t really need to bother forcing it
Tdash start hestia is better if you're confident in your abilities imo since you're playing much closer and more dangerous for more damage
Which is fine but could be difficult
High risk high reward type of thing
yeah but what happens if you get a 40 elite numbskull room with no tdash
tdash is also lower variance is all because you won’t just get destroyed by certain rooms
I mean that is only tart so you're not exactly losing that much of a run
i think high % attack force is fine but feels worse to play
yeah that’s fair
It's unfortunate but epic aphro atk start would give better bossing in the future
true
Both work tho
Idk I take ricochet so that’s not much of a problem
for dps artemis is generally better anyways
Not really
Still not really. Crits are fairly useless outside of boss fights since you’re either doing no damage or way too much damage
i was talking about boss fights sorry
And since you don’t know whether you’re going to hit a breakpoint or not, you can’t plan your way through a room
in response to this
Oh gotcha
Did it with the machiene gun
Now I only need to do it with the bow and then I'm finished with the quest
straight flames
Heroic titan toppler 

Phalanx into sell prob
I take dash out of habit, but yes
I think crop fixes the pom bug
oh yeah I forgot that
Fun pact lol
My first time beating it :DDD cleared with Malphon too which I only used for the meme
Gg
Dio beo is probably the way to go for nuking em4 dad tbf
I went straight from not beating hydra to somehow first trying hades
No jolted rip
What's the pom bug?
Trippy flare beo gets double the value from poms vs what's shown
So first pom is +120 for example
Didn't know that, only knew about mirage being double
He just let me go?
10th win is the free pass 
Can someone please explain to me how it works- I always see it with Demeter but don’t understand it
makes your boons common and has the rarity increase every 3 encounters until they're heroic
Oh my God
I thought it was only until the next level
Well I gotta start taking that now
not necessarily
I can not find dio in my encounters 😔😔😔
that's a lot of damage sources
the world if
So close to sub 5!
Proud of ya anyway, jazz!
well done jazz
Wait does the top boon have the name of "Donner and Blitzen" in German?
Without the n, but yeah
Huh. Its always interesting to see how names and powers are translated into other langauges
SO CLOSE
At least it wasn't a 10.00.xx
was it a beo run?
But also just a time save away
no it was merciful end
fists?
only my second day of actually trying to speed run XD
yep
im pretty happy with it though
lucky seed?
very lucky
dang nice
tyyy
i've been chasing a sub 10 for a few months now 😭 never got this close the seed always held me back even tho i'm sure i could improve a lot skill wise too
alt f1 if you're using nvidia i think
but dude i had ares item thing but i got a hammer right out of the gate, followed by athena right away
2 sack, than in Elysium
if you used FO2 that probably would've been a sub 10...
im not that good 😭
Use fiery so you can one shot witches in tart (tho it may need high confidence too I don't remember)
yeah it does
i struggle pretty bad w FO2
oh nice strat ty
im using high confidence
i understand, but i'd say it's arguably better to get used to FO2 straight away so that you don't have to get used to it twice
i had like 3 chaos gates
and once you do it's pretty easy imo
true
wait you also didn't have impending
damn either you played really good or that was one hell of a seed
counterargument: become a FF runner 
This channel makes me want to get back into hades
Try and kill my old times
I just don't have the irl time 😢
Who knew zagreus aspect could be so.. charming
I actually hate how little range spread fire has
Finally got a sub 20 run 🙂
Nice! I hope they keep rolling in for ya
This is so great
Decent time ig
varatha just barely holding on to that sub-10 trophy
My second time beating EM4, but dang this time it was a lot tougher. Definitely a relief to get through it.
Is there anything else I could use to really make the Hestia rail shine? Maybe just a skill issue, but I've read it can do great stuff
came back to hades for the first time in months and beat 32 heat for the second time ever!
Based
it was bouldy's 2% ambiguity bonus that carried the run tbh
24 !
Greatest title I’ve ever seen
i had a 145 streak and "ruined" it to die 50 times in a row so i can get the unseen one rank 😭
damn why do you need to die for the rank???
I had such a bad streak for so long cuz I reset a lot but then I learned there’s a title for a 10 streak, so I got that and then gave up on my streak again lol
ohh
Wait, there'a titles for streaks?
there's 50 ranks???
for some reason i,, didnt get the 10 streak title 😭
i am pretty sure its 50 with the last one being the unseen one
How did I not know that after 300 hours omg😭
Ah alright, my highest is like 60 something so I should be good then!:D
Ranks are separate from streaks
You have to spend darkness and other meta resources for ranks
It’s a big grind
Ohhhh, my bad. I just misunderstood the previous msgs, sorry!
Don’t worry about it
Yeahhh, I still don't have the last one I think, hopefully some day!:)
i havent even gotten the first one i am broke 😭
Thank you thank you! Hopefully I should be well past halfway though!
i mean i have only 36 clears i have a long time to catch up
i still reroll the mirror every time i want to change it because i have no darkness
ok time to kill myself yayy
sorry this isnt a victory should i delete this
I got a 4 sack and still beat 40 heat LOL
also nice RD
why dark regen
props for doing it on arthur btw
if you want to go fast, use nemesis, turn on high confidence, don't use dark regen, and play with FO2 and EM2
i started out with arthur
Still leveling up Nemesis on this file
On level 2 nemesis and sack 4, got a 20m run
Ok, I said last time that it was my easiest run. I was wrong. This is my easiest run. Normally I have ~30 min per run. This time it was 21.
I know, right? And the run didn't even start that good. I originally took the Zeus boon for my attack and the poseidon one for my special, but then I got their duo boon in the charon shop before the first boss, so I sold the Zeus attack took the poseidon keepsake, and changed the reward to the first room until I had poseidon. After that everything went pretty great
Yeah, that checks out. The duo is quite good looking to me
that with the rückendreckung is practillz 3 hits for 1
Yeah, everything worked out just right to be a perfect build
I walked to hade s with full life and 3 death defiances, so I just stood there anihilating his hp, until he was dead.
Didn't even bother to dodge a lot.
i just noticed the stichtgestöber too. The spear just got turned into a drill
Yeah, the build was perfect
This turned into 3 half-builds but it worked.
Closing in the 10 heat, almost there (Btw i love so much Rama aspect)
ramas definitely one of my favorite aspects, congrats on the first skelly statue
fr shaking rn
also hermes being stinky
i was considering resetting but i didnt
(also i figured out how to screenshot)
lmao
btw, what aspect is the most competitive for speedrunning any% igt?
is it beowulf
yeah
cool
buggy
1st 32 heat!!
Nice
i switched keyboards yesterday and now im popping off lol
it's not much but i got some really good boons this run :)
I got a bad time because of bad chamber luck, but I just had to share this build because of how shockingly fast I killed Hades
ive gotten epic RD more times today than I had in the past few weeks combined
Speedrunning pact to get there faster 🙏
I found 43 arthur to be not that hard, attempted 46 and cleared tonight on my first try... this weapon just clicks for me, I love it.
thats busted
yeah athena made everything possible
also I just started using arthur and its one of my favs now too
and the extra defiance
didn't even need reroll for greatest reflex
kept wasting them all trying to get a call boon
what mod is this
Gamer. EM4 for 50 👀
I always see that in the corner of speedrunners' screens
without it some higher heats would be take like 20x length of just dying over and over again to get a playable run
Beo kinda stronk
again not really impressive but hehe big percentage
jesus thats big
maybe I am goated
@willow bronze ruthless gaming
I think this is my first beo 50 lmao
Finally overall PB. RNG was OK but not insane, I know I can do much better
gamer
I just threw like 4 attempts so not happening this week 😔
honestly i'll probably continue attempts when finals are over
I'm just gonna ask how the hell do people get those 6:30 clears
and 10-15 min ones on 32+ heat, I struggle to stay in the 5 min per area timer lol
good stuff
first time using rama, damage is insane
like 1k on bosses
special could full stack hangover for the entire room in 2 shots
rama crits go brr
rookie numbers, you need that heartbreak to the max
Idk, I'd say 18 with no mods is impressive no matter what
i tried man
I am a big fan of heartbreak strike + shield
And then double attack hammer
Wait your streak is crazy high
i did a lot of low heat grinding for meta progression to get the themes
so i’m just doin some easy clears to get it to 100 for the screenshot and then i’m doin higher heat
This was an extremely rare run for me in which I beat hades without taking a single bit of damage from him
I can see why people love zeus shield for high heat
purple rd goes brrr
im not even sure if the blitz disc damage was doubled while I was hyper sprinting
Theseus needs to shut his mouth and i finally did it for him
"Foul daemon! We shall thwart your each and every trespass in Elysium!"
Erm... Twin Fists.
also i didnt use a single DD and only got hit like 3 times
Time for the big man himself
FIRST TIME ON THE SURFACE
I thought i was gonna have my ass handed to me




to go!
