h1-victory-boasting

[willow bronze]

that sounds about right, but your clears might be on the slower side

[shell nacelle]

they are

i still can't consistently clear td3

i maybe could do it, given that most of my js3 td2 clears take around 21-22 mins, but i can't clear tart in 5 mins

[willow bronze]

Do you want build tips?

Hestia, eris, and Beowulf can all easily clear that quickly

[shell nacelle]

ok yes i definitely can do it with Hestia

...and Rama

but i modded Rama to be rather OP so that doesn't count, does it?

[willow bronze]

lol what did you do

[shell nacelle]

i basically removed the cooldown of zeus special (0.01 secs)

[willow bronze]

Lmfao

Yeah that’s uh

[sharp agate]

wat

[shell nacelle]

in order to make chiron + zeus usable

[willow bronze]

That’s funny

Anyways

[shell nacelle]

but it had the side effect of making rama special op as f

[willow bronze]

Hestia tdash, attack, and special start can all reliably sub 5 tart

Zyruvias wrote a really nice hestia guide

Has pretty much all the info you could want on the aspect

[shell nacelle]

also wait a second, my 32 heat beowulf run had like two seconds remaning when i beat tart

and my pact had cf2 js1 td2 instead of my usual js3 td2

[willow bronze]

Watching hestia speedruns and rowo hestia runs are both good resources

[shell nacelle]

mate i can definitely do it with hestia, especially if i'm not focusing on heat; I just can't do it with other weapons and only playing Hestia/Rama for 300 more hours sounds daunting

so i kinda need help on other weapons

[willow bronze]

Idk what you want me to say. I exited tart at 3:39 on 50

[shell nacelle]

jesus

[willow bronze]

Might be issues with how you’re playing the aspect/build

[shell nacelle]

yeah beowulf felt the hardest to clear on 32

by far

it took me several tries

[willow bronze]

Shouldn’t be the case

It’s one of the highest dps aspects and it’s a shield

[shell nacelle]

oh, i don't have the speedrunning modpack to guarantee a charged shot

maybe that's what i need

[willow bronze]

I didn’t have cshot on my 50

Ferocious guard, unyielding defense, sudden, breaching, and cshot are all fine first hammers

[willow bronze]

This also had ap2 so my build quality wasn’t amazing

Well actually I did get low tolerance

[shell nacelle]

low tolerance

[willow bronze]

No yeah that was the one with crazy hangover damage

[shell nacelle]

how'd you clear that fast low tolerabce

[willow bronze]

Low tolerance goes hard when AP2

[shell nacelle]

ok fair

[willow bronze]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KDt-3Jfv2aE&list=PLVOsjMIr-CWsPiTvw4F0liUAX7TaMo6gA&index=4&pp=iAQB

I had pflare and hangover attack

[warm notch]

Definitely not needed

[sharp agate]

The reason why is prob because you were you using the super high heat build with pash flare and snurst when you should have just run the classic mirage build

[warm notch]

I mean its still more of a mechanics issue

The difference between pash flare start and flood flare wont be that much in tart

[bold jolt]

Passion flare without snurst and pstatus is still strong lmao

Def more mechanics

Assuming you put poms into it at least

Bc at that point it's just funnier hera

[warm notch]

Can confirm

[bold jolt]

Well you kinda have pstatus sorta lmao

Every so often

[willow bronze]

occasional pstatus

[shell nacelle]

i mean i started with the mirage build, couldn't clear tartarus at all, switched to the aphro + dem build

[atomic marlin]

whoops

[whole flicker]

u dont need cshot

[warm notch]

oh thats why everything took so long to kill, I had cp2 on

[whole flicker]

tart shouldnt be an issue with flood beo

you have so much splash radius

[silver root]

I was very, very happy with these

[wary token]

First 16 heat clear, my hammer options were crap up until the end when I was able to use the anvil (point blank shot and relentless volley 😭)

[sharp agate]

Dad fight was truly something

[civic linden]

one of the arthur runs of all time (i think i'm getting consistent with EM4 now, it's fun)

also i consciously attempted a "speedrun" for the first time

[west cargo]

And with this win I have completed the fated list of minor prophecies

I finally fully upgraded all my aspects because of this! I’m so happy

Also why does the bot keep telling me to go to hades 2 chat when I’m clearly talking about hades 1

[sharp agate]

It's meant to keep people from posting about Hades 2 by being at the bottom, it is not talking to you in specific

Because a lot of people came into the Hades 1 channels with Hades 2 info

[hollow jacinth]

The bot has absolutely no idea what you’re talking about

[analog tinsel]

can finally move onto Hades 2 with no regrets

[worn eagle]

12/24 aspects 50 heat

[lyric badger]

Documenting the Crystal Clarity + Mirage Shot synergy that I've never managed before and may never manage again. Just MELTED Dad

Finally beat 32 heat after a few tries 🥲

The one run my joycons decide to drop inputs a ton (bad Bluetooth connection? idk) is the run I get it

You will see a ton of odd decisions, holding charge and being unable to let go, inability to dash or attack etc etc. it was infuriating but fortunately I got merciful end to carry me

[primal crown]

Beautiful thumbnail

And gg

[gaunt drum]

ikr, I didn't even choose it, YouTube just knew which one is the best

[main sky]

Beat EM4 Hades w/o using Death Defiances for the first time (but yikes I have no idea how to play his Aspect)

Also big spin lol

Nice hud mod

[tired shoal]

No Bouldy? Cringe

[main sky]

What’s a hud mod? /gen

[tired shoal]

This isn’t a mod?

[primal crown]

Is the mobile port just in case

[main sky]

No

It’s Hades’ aspect + the big spin hammer

Also the hammer that lets you charge up faster if that affects the spin

[tired shoal]

I meant to the right side, the icons

[main sky]

Oh

That’s the Lovely theme

You can purchase it in the House contractor for 15 ambrosia

[tired shoal]

Lmao, I said right not left

[main sky]

Oh

I have no idea what you’re referring to then

[tired shoal]

This

[primal crown]

Is just the controls for the mobile port

[tired shoal]

Ah

I want a mod that gives that as a hud

ngl that was better than expected

[eternal lantern]

Crazy dodging tbh

[tired shoal]

Bouldy carry

[high palm]

idk why i didn't use more heat, i could've easily beaten 32 with how lucky i got

[willow bronze]

Based ricochet

[orchid vigil]

after clearing 32 heat on all aspects, I decided to take it up a notch and clear all aspects on 40 heat too! (on switch)

oops that switch image sharing quality really ain't good

guan yu took me 21 tries on 32 heat, but 3 tries on 40 heat... getting charged skewer + good aphro special is really busted

[willow bronze]

Gamer

[worn eagle]

Try GY spin

[orchid vigil]

I did and that's how I died 20 times with gy on 32 heat

[thin cloak]

I BEAT MY RECORD AND IVE BEEN TRYING FOR YEARS

years is an overstatement but you get the idea

i havent used any other weapon in so long and its so obvious
-> 35 minutes yeah that was when i first got the game ☠️☠️☠️ i may or may not have a favorite weapon

[tired shoal]

Based.

[thin cloak]

ive been trapped at 19 minutes for so long 😭😭😭

like i literally the run RIGHT before that one got 19:34 and i was so mad

Ruthless gaming

[willow bronze]

Many such cases

[tired shoal]

Based Mirror

[willow bronze]

oof wait not based mirror

use this mirror

and explosive return is better than charged shot on zeus

[tired shoal]

Eh, I still think their’s is more based.

[willow bronze]

How

[tired shoal]

Ruthless, Stubborn, Privileged and Legacy

[willow bronze]

I have ruthless and stubborn

Pstatus isn’t helping with jolted damage afaik

Jolted is getting applied quickly enough with the special that you don’t need cold fusion, and you care about spec/jolted rarity a lot more so pride is better

And fiery is better since the special can’t backstab

[warm notch]

Favor

[tired shoal]

But it is more based

[willow bronze]

Yeah I’d say one shotting things and doing more damage in general is more based

Also yeah Olympian favor, just no

[tired shoal]

Fair.

[wide shell]

I would've but I didn't get it, I just chose charged shot over the no kb one and another hammer, I think it was the "more damage for the next 2 hits" thing

[willow bronze]

Fair

The reason why you would avoid charged shot is that you lose the bull rush which has iframes

[wide shell]

Welp i can still block

[willow bronze]

Yeah but bull rush is nice for mobility

[wide shell]

Just dashing+slashing is fine enough for me

[wide shell]

But I wanna renovate the House of Hades :(

(And get the crazy expensive themes) (so I don't mind resource rooms) (yet)

[willow bronze]

Fair enough

[willow bronze]

Getting more boons and clearing runs faster will probably net you more resources over time than taking resource rooms

[wide shell]

Oh, as in trading blood/ambrosia for gems and darkness ?

That's actually a cool idea

[willow bronze]

You could keep an eye out for those but I just mean for diamonds and stuff

Darkness you get a bunch from just playing heats you’ve already beaten

Gems…I’m not sure the best way to get them. Maybe troves?

[high palm]

i beat 32 for the first time, honestly not as hard as i thought it would be i kept avoiding it

idk why but the bosses gave me darkness instead of the bounty rewards?? even though it was the highest heat i've done on the rail

[wide shell]

I don't care about music (Final Expense remix on loop in the house rn hehhehe) and I bought all the other diamond things

[willow bronze]

you don't get bounties after 20

25 if a hell mode file since 5 heat is forced

[high palm]

sorry

[willow bronze]

yeah

[high palm]

i didn't know that

ohhhhh

[wide shell]

Wtf GG streak

gl 50 in a row

[willow bronze]

Also you had a really good build

[bold jolt]

Hestia is like the best aspect for easy clears bc it's super easy to use and then you have a really strong build on top of that lmao

The only sus part was taking pstatus

[high palm]

i usually take it cause it’s pretty easy to get for me

with aphrodite and athena for the exposed

[warm notch]

Family favorite is active against every enemy and at every point in the run, pstatus isnt that larger of a boost

[high palm]

true

but i figured since i was gonna be dashing around and attacking anyway the and the damage boost doesnt matter that much for small enemies that it would be better for the hades fight

[willow bronze]

You shouldn’t be that close to enemies on hestia

Demeter on special would make more sense

[hot dagger]

Hestia's the one ranged weapon that plays like a ranged weapon!

[willow bronze]

To put it into perspective, pstatus as opposed to fam faves with a full god pool is giving extra 15% additive on all sources of damage. That’s 22.5 more damage per hestia empowered shot

[ember heart]

it's been ages since i played (ik crime) but i think my times are still kinda good (rng didn't get any better 😭)

[warm notch]

I mean... tdash

[willow bronze]

For heat atleast

[ancient wolf]

My 9th and 10th clears, and I have officially rolled credits on Hades 😎 Bring on Hades 2

HOLY HADES I DID IT

50 heat unmodded (though not unseeded I was giving up on the same seed) holyyyyyyy

tfw clockets on ap2!!

and I was TWO SECONDS away from dying

I’m still shaking

I’m never attempting 50 heat again

[bold jolt]

Big gaming

[amber lantern]

Trying out this insane build I came up with for Rama where I apply hangover to everyone using special, have Artemis on attack, and Artemis/Dionysus duo boon so that I have a super high crit chance, along with have super beefy attacks

Works super well

[ember heart]

nicee

[tired shoal]

Gigabased

[willow bronze]

Without low tolerance, it’s only 7.5% more crit chance

It’s a good build, but splitting isn’t doing much is all

[amber lantern]

Yeah your right, however that goes a long way as it turns it up to about a 1/3 chance for a crit, which is super good because I shoot three shots, and all of them do a lot of damage so I was averaging about 1200 per shot, and that was when I was right next to them and I only pulled back for like .3 seconds

[willow bronze]

Yeah I still don’t think it’s better than 400 gold

[amber lantern]

That’s fair

Though I didn’t really need anything else

Nothing at shop

[willow bronze]

Pressure points and hunters mark will give you tons more value for crits

[amber lantern]

Yeah I had hunters mark

[willow bronze]

Fair enough

[amber lantern]

Prolly shoulda pinned that

I wanted to get low tolerance when I started the game but I could only get her keepsake on by Elysium and I didn’t think I had time

I have had a run very similar to this with near exactly the same perks with low tolerance but didn’t get a screenshot

[worn eagle]

🤝

[summer jackal]

That's what they all say XD

[worn eagle]

except this time I'm pretty sure of it 😌

[wary token]

Merciful end on Gilgamesh with Zeus call and splitting bolt was a very fun build to play with

[tired shoal]

Fr.

[little prairie]

Oooh with hyper delivery too

[sharp agate]

The world if I had endgame damage

[orchid vigil]

yeah you’re right I lied

this was wayyy easier than hestia 50 since I could take dc2 instead of ri2 or ap2

although speeder savior numbskulls can go f themselves

[sharp agate]

At no point did I doubt this run would sub 6

[bold jolt]

Insane build lmao nice

[orchid vigil]

lol I mean I didn't even have dio special until end of styx so it's not as good as it looks lol

[tired shoal]

This was fun.

Didnt lose a single revive

Also yeah, that build is existing

Delete the post as it is a spoiler

[unique vine]

this run started as an achievement run, but i kept getting amazing synergy and ended up with a total of +312% damage (of wich 32% was from than's keepsake) on my dash strike. Witch also hits twice and ruptures foes. really glad with the outcome of this run tbh

[tired shoal]

Holy crit-maxxing

[willow bronze]

Cursed slash doesn’t apply to dash strike lol

[tired shoal]

Braindead tbh.

[unique vine]

there wasn't really a better option so i just kinda went with it tbh

[willow bronze]

cursed slash is actively detrimental

what were the other options

[sharp agate]

Nice recorded PB

I almost died to Em3 because no Patty, but pretty funny run otherwise

forgot what the other options were

[viral musk]

New here but I thought I might boast my fully completed achievement list.

[limber pier]

32 heat! I nearly cried when I won. So pumped.

[golden peak]

not enough dem

[willow bronze]

you should post in the speedrun server. it's hestia week

[limber pier]

Every link to that server I'm finding online is expired. Is there a link in this discord to it or can you send me one?

[limber pier]

Yeah I wasn't planning on doing a Dem heavy build but things started to go in that direction. Probably should have embraced it more

[willow bronze]

https://discord.com/invite/speedrunhades

[limber pier]

I think that was the first time I ever took Dem's legendary and that worked out pretty nicely for me

[golden peak]

Thank you

[ionic wadi]

it could not have been any better

i just dont thnk im good enough for sub 10

Even if you have a good build you can get pretty bad rooms lmao

Just keep grinding away at it and you'll get it soon enough

What in the giga build

[willow bronze]

Missing snurst

[ivory merlin]

I got to the credits with less than 40 attempts! Woohoo, can’t wait to play more

[civic linden]

First 20 heat clear!

jumped from 6 to 20, had like 5 fails

flurry + twin shot basically won that for me

welp, time to do 32 heat

[ionic wadi]

i think this is sub10

830 hades

war is over

[heavy solar]

Looks like it to me

[river turret]

albeit on zero heat, funnily enough i got my first sub-20 run while grinding for Thanatos achievement lmao

[sharp agate]

The war is never over, get that sub 9!

[ivory merlin]

lost my 5 win streak to the only Hades fight with a fish

Ranged sword my beloved

[bitter gazelle]

Probably not very impressive to the pro gamers here but I am not used to the adamant rail and even had to use a death defiance in Tartarus so very happy I managed to kill Hades so quickly

[sharp agate]

Sick run, tho next time I would recommend using zeus attack on rail

[harsh coral]

Strong drink early game is pretty good. It’s something that I probably should have taken more often.

[willow bronze]

It’s meh

Not the greatest thing from dio

[golden peak]

Only thing better off the top of my head is the call

It's non pommable free global

[sharp agate]

Prem vint can be good and I would put it on the same tier as strong drink

[willow bronze]

Fair

[harsh coral]

Agreed. I put it on the same tier as side hustle (?) and life affirmation. If you started early, then the dividends payoff.

[harsh coral]

Is there away to increase chances of fountains occurring or manipulating the fountains ?

[willow bronze]

no

modpack indicates them on exits

"terrible build"

[eternal aspen]

merciful end is op for sure

[eternal aspen]

i was just trying to get the achivment but damn dawg nemeis build with pierced butterfly does go crazy

[warm notch]

Well with all the other percent you have there butterfly is only like +10% extra of your total damage, props to using a melee wep to stack it up tho

[eternal aspen]

idk i just hit 900 per hit for crit i guess lv 8 artemis dash helps a lot

[warm notch]

Yeah what was doing the work was the over +300% from hunter dash, chaos lunge, and epic aphro attack combined with heartrend and double edge, butterfly didnt do much lol

[eternal aspen]

i always use nemesis for fun but this time i hit harder than i ever did so i thought it was beacuse of the butterfly but was just lucky with poms i guess

[willow bronze]

Butterfly gives global additive, so it’ll add the same type of number to your dash strike as hunter dash

So comparatively, hunter dash gives 100 and butterfly gives 36

Lvl 2 aphro attack prob gives around 119

[wind ice]

while waiting for the next sequel update...

[tired shoal]

Soon you’ll be doing that every time.

[burnt ember]

first run since H2 dropped and wow, I forgot how stupidly good this game feels to play

[bold jolt]

god damn big damage

[little prairie]

Yay first 50 heat

Lightning rods and splitting bolt were some pretty nice Styx pickups

[golden peak]

Em4 based

[tawdry viper]

yayy beat heat 1, now i get it why beowulf is so op

[worn eagle]

14/24 aspects, all shields 50

[hollow jacinth]

Just wait till you get mirage shot!

Next time don’t take dionysus call, assuming you got splitting headache from an Artemis boon then you would’ve seen mirage shot from her instead

[tawdry viper]

yayyyy heat 2 beaten

[sharp agate]

Just a little tip on your mirror, I would recommend not having PStatus as you don't have a single status effect on this build, and try changing Olympian Favor over to Dark Foresight, as DF is stupid strong

[sharp agate]

First double sub six pushes me over to the goomba, very happy with these

[potent raven]

Finally beat 32 heat!

[golden peak]

that is quite a feat

[sharp agate]

Front half 😦 Back half 🙂

[golden peak]

woah

[warm notch]

I wouldve ended with 4 acorn charges left but then I ate 3 skulls to the face in the last 20 seconds of the fight

[golden peak]

my acorn doesnt survive p1.1

[warm notch]

I got lucky with easy spawns and breaching slash lol

[golden peak]

no im just bad at hades

[heavy solar]

Nice purple RD

[bold jolt]

back to gaming

plume was at 28.8%

[tawdry viper]

YIPEE heat 3 beaten!

[ember heart]

another tip, max level acorn is better than skelly tooth against hades i think

since those 5 attacks could be up to like 180 damage so up to 180 extra hp but skelly is only 100 extra hp

[tawdry viper]

skelly tooth did save me alot tbh, but ill try my best to play with the acorn, tips are much appreciated! the last guy who gave me tips changed my run alot, i got so much poms by changing just one mirror aspect

[tawdry viper]

maybe i should try a new weapon... beowulf is making this game a bit too easy. or should i keep using it until i reach the real end of the game?

[worn eagle]

Feel free to try out new things!

[ember heart]

do a ME run
see how broken the right boons can actually get

[tawdry viper]

huh? wym

For what it is at least

Gamer

You did better than me lmao

I used a DD from a well lmao

I did have fo2 on tho I guess

And not cshot lol

[worn eagle]

alright I wanna try this now

[sharp agate]

It's not that bad really, of course assuming you don't do fo2

[warm notch]

average ri4 build

[willow bronze]

The 50+ pipeline begins

[sharp agate]

This run had the sickest Cerb dodge ever

I had to dash out of the way of one circle and ran right into another with no dashes, so I used call iframes to dodge it 🙂

I was very happy about that

[fluid locust]

got my first hades beaten, this stuff was hard

took like 40 attempts

[willow bronze]

What a build

[sharp agate]

What in the

[willow bronze]

That’s not merciful end

That’s just end

[sharp agate]

More like end me

please

[fluid locust]

is that bad

[sharp agate]

Okay, I may be exaggerating a little, but it's not the greatest thing ever

[hot dagger]

That said, Merciful End is worlds stronger than Doom alone

[fluid locust]

what

[sharp agate]

Merciful End is a Duo boon and it's very strong, plain doom without ME is very weak

[fluid locust]

wait really

whose is it (besides ares then)

[sharp agate]

Athena

[fluid locust]

will lf it

[golden peak]

as far as first clears go its very nice

and pretty fast as well

[warm notch]

Well double doom isnt really good since they dont stack

[drifting geode]

almost 170 hours in and I have finally done it - all achievements!!!
additionally I have managed to clear 32 heat on 12 of the aspects
gonna get to work on the other half!

[wild stump]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/836914036184055810/1261183494957043762/IMG-20240712-WA0000.jpg?ex=66920828&is=6690b6a8&hm=0c1de04dc99d427650b47aa3b6b482430862cad3d39ee12a2c2639d060089f6b&

First clear :)

[willow bronze]

What is it with people and ares on Zeus

[wild stump]

Tbh I just really love doom for some reason, and I didn't get an option for doom on attack so just took it on spec

[stable onyx]

finally

i acually won

[fluid locust]

first heat (1) victory, turns out im pretty fast

[fluid locust]

and heat 2 here im doing surprisingly well

[cursive lodge]

first victory on hades I didn't do that run for serious but I reached hades and I got lucky

[summer jackal]

Nice job!
Although artemis is probably the worst god to have on special when using explosive return since explosive return cannot crit no matter what.

[fluid locust]

Ah ok, so is best just gonna be smth like athena then? (If u dont run ares speciall

[willow bronze]

Zeus+other Zeus boons but not splitting bolt OR Aphrodite

[dawn relic]

first 32 heat ❤️

https://prnt.sc/c_w4uKR7acFD

[golden peak]

gg

with a nice pact as well

[exotic saffron]

nearly first sub 10 but got screwed over by satyr sack rng near end :(

not bad for first week playing i reckon

[sharp agate]

Worse darkness I have ever seen in the dad fight 😔

[fluid locust]

thas pretty fast i think

[golden peak]

it is quite fast for a 4th clear

[fluid locust]

i feel like im abusing the timer heat level

whats the highest heat someone has ever beaten

[sharp agate]

64

[wicked mural]

64 is max heat, and at least one person has beaten it I think

[fluid locust]

thats crazy, what strategy is used there

[sharp agate]

8 people iirc

[wicked mural]

you know more than me, that's why I said "at least one"

[wicked mural]

thoughts and prayers

[fluid locust]

thas crazy

[sharp agate]

4 aspects have beaten it

[wicked mural]

what are the 2 that haven't?

sorry im bad at math

[fluid locust]

prob sword

[sharp agate]

Sword and fists for weapons have not beaten it

[fluid locust]

my bets for beaten are
bow
shield
gun
spear

dam

[sharp agate]

The aspects that have are Zeus, Eris, Rama and Guan Yu

[fluid locust]

is there a stream of someone doing one of those runs

[golden peak]

ofc

[ember heart]

gilga next

The OG

[wicked mural]

is there an aspect tier list?

[fluid locust]

ok tysm

[sharp agate]

For heat or speed?

[ember heart]

speed is beo top heat is zeus

[wicked mural]

can I see both tier lists?

[ember heart]

hera can also work for speed as can rama for heat and speed

[wicked mural]

how is Beo good for speed?

it attacks so slowly

[golden peak]

it instalkills stuff

[ember heart]

bugged easy to build damage bomb

[sharp agate]

Cast go brrrrrrrr

[golden peak]

it can attack fast if you play it well

[sharp agate]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvwXme49GnM shameless self plug

[wicked mural]

oh ok because you just stack all of your casts, bull rush, collect casts, rinse and repeat, profit?

oh which Cthonic Companions do yall go? I've just been using Bouldy since I can heal myself mid fight

[ember heart]

you do a close range bull rush it's faster and you pretty much immediately get casts back + bugged mirage shot

[ember heart]

meg

[wicked mural]

always?

[ember heart]

yes

[wicked mural]

https://tenor.com/view/familyguy-shutup-meg-shutupmeg-gif-7281798

[sharp agate]

Front half 🙂 back half 😦

[little prairie]

51 heat with a bit to spare! But now only truly guild crippling heats left 😦

[golden peak]

thats impressive

with a bit of luck ap1 should be negligible

[little prairie]

I don't think you understand how dependent on running around with rods and jolted bolts is against em4

For me

And apparently splitting

[golden peak]

trust me ik

[little prairie]

But I guess it's worth a shot

Being able to play switch h2 would be nice. Soon enough.

[willow bronze]

nice!

[civic linden]

I beat 32 heat!!

best offense is a good defense it turns out lol

still had an athena dd, revival restored like 300hp

thanks patty

[golden peak]

based

good pact

[civic linden]

i was gonna display my offense boons but then i realized i didn't have any other than the cores lmao

hestia carry

[golden peak]

yeah hestia can probably win boonless upto 56 heat or more

[wicked mural]

@golden peak

[golden peak]

lol

[wicked mural]

"good luck with that"

[golden peak]

the games basically over at that point tho

[wicked mural]

yeah, I did

what now

yeah just one problem

Crush Shot isn't lodging into enemies when I hit them, it just goes right behind them

thankfully I have Greater Recall so my bloodstones come back automatically

[warm notch]

Did you get that funny aphro t2 boon

[wicked mural]

blown kiss?

[warm notch]

Yeah

[wicked mural]

oh heck

is it bugged or is that intended?

[warm notch]

Idk but thats the interaction

[wicked mural]

cool I hate myself

gonna try and wash it away

and I lost anyway

I'm only on 11 Heat, my build was busted as hell, and I still threw it

I was SHREDDING Hades until the third phase. Then I just couldn't dodge anything to save my life

[golden peak]

em4 is tough

[wicked mural]

I've cleared it plenty of times

no excuse for this time

besides, it's really hard to get to 11 Heat without it

here's an old clip of me killing king Vermin in under 30 seconds

[civic linden]

me who cleared 32 like 10 messages up w/o em4:

but yeah em4 is hard, i think 11 heat em4 might be harder than 32 heat w/o em4

[wicked mural]

what punishments do you take instead of EM4 to give you the extra 4 heat?

[civic linden]

u can see the pact here

[wicked mural]

that's for 32 heat

I mean for 11

[civic linden]

oh

[wicked mural]

like which punishments do I add first?

[civic linden]

i guess for 11 heat you can just remove hard labor and lasting consequences? and maybe remove tight deadline if you aren't comfortable with it

just not em4, traps, or inspection

[heavy solar]

Em4 is something I wouldn’t advise running unless you enjoy the harder Hades fight

Or are really desperate for that extra heat

I don’t run it on my 40 pacts and I don’t know many who do, and less even lower

[dim stratus]

Even some that don't run it at 50

[willow bronze]

You can reasonably get to 58 without it but after that it's kind of expected yeah

[wicked mural]

yall are acting like I have any chance of getting to a Heat that high when I can't even beat 11 Heat consistently 😭

[willow bronze]

underworld customs, middle management, EM1, TD1/2/3

Everyone starts somewhere

[wicked mural]

I can do TD2 just fine, but if you stack Jury Summons and/or Calisthenics Program on top of that, I start cutting it REALLY close

[willow bronze]

This is 11

Generally stuff other than JS, CP, EM4, HS, RI, AP, and DC is fine to just put on whenever

[wicked mural]

why only one EM? I'm always gonna default to at least 3 since they're easy and add plenty of Heat

[willow bronze]

oh yeah you can do that

[wicked mural]

oh and I saw a punishment option that I didn't have

on the internet somewhere

what was it?

[willow bronze]

personal liability?

[wicked mural]

Yes!

[willow bronze]

That's automatically on with hell mode

[wicked mural]

no invincibility when you take big damage

[willow bronze]

you have to use a hell mode save file or mod for that

[wicked mural]

is Hell Mode the opposite of God Mode?

[willow bronze]

meh

Hell mode is mandatory HL1, JS1, CP1, LC1, and PL

[hot dagger]

#h1-high-heat-strategies before AD catches us!

[willow bronze]

God mode is just damage reduction that scales with deahts

deaths

[warm notch]

Low heat em4 isnt really that bad

[warm notch]

Em4 alone is 10 heat so just take td1 and 11 heat em4 doesnt have anything else buffing dad, you can beat hl4 fo2 reg dad with sd so em4 alone shouldnt really be that bad

[fierce sage]

I’ve heard haelian say ares doesn’t feel good on Chiron one too many times

The damage on this was really good

[warm notch]

Double chaos flourishes

[fierce sage]

My special was doing 300 damage on its own but I was dealing 911 damage with doom

[warm notch]

Yeah chiron own damage kinda succ without conc arrow

[heavy solar]

I would consider trying some new builds then

[sharp agate]

Run good

[golden peak]

how many is that now

[sharp agate]

24?

I think

[warm notch]

pog

[golden peak]

Howe

‼️‼️

[willow bronze]

[golden peak]

Unmodded too

[bold jolt]

Gamer

[wicked mural]

yall weren't kidding about Hestia's damage

[willow bronze]

Yeah

Bestia

[golden peak]

gg

[strong ravine]

nothing feels good on chiron

[wicked mural]

Chiron doesn't feel good on Coronacht in general :/

[warm notch]

Interesting movement

[golden peak]

its good movement for a first hestia clear

[warm notch]

@wicked mural btw do you have default binds particularly reload and dash

[wicked mural]

I rebound reload to ZR and Call to right stick

[wicked mural]

yeah I was still getting used to it

plus I was high and kept forgetting my combo sequence

[civic linden]

i bound reload to bottom button and attack's the right button so i can just kinda roll my thumb across both

[warm notch]

Yeah i have reload swapped to where special is by default

[civic linden]

is this normal?

[wicked mural]

why do you need to roll your thumb? You have to wait for reload animation before you attack anyway

[civic linden]

i reload immediately after i shoot

then dash to animation cancel

it's classic hestia i believe?

[wicked mural]

ohhhhh, I got the order backwards

[warm notch]

Or go attack > reload > special

[civic linden]

If i get a good rocket hammer then i'll be doing street fighter combos with spamming up-right-down buttons in a circle lmao

[warm notch]

Yeah you should reload immediately after each shot

[wicked mural]

yeah I did this a lot too. I did it to apply Curse of Longing

[golden peak]

yeah i noticed sometimes you acidentally keep shooting after the empowered shot

[warm notch]

Ngl rocket bomb is a bit awkard since it has a slight delay compared to reg special

[wicked mural]

there were times during the run when I had to use the remaining shots for a faster clear. Mostly for small armored enemies

[civic linden]

hestia's a weird aspect, i always have to go play something less taxing on my fingers after a long hestia run

[wicked mural]

trust me, the other options were worse

[civic linden]

yeah use the remaining shots for chariots (small) and numbskulls and stuff like that

[warm notch]

Yeah for stuff like numbskulls its good to use the reg attack, also dc hearts

[wicked mural]

and the urns

or whatever they're called

[warm notch]

Idk pests

[wicked mural]

in tartarus, they hide in a corner and blend in with the pots and throw bombs

[civic linden]

pretty sure the game calls them urns but i call pots

they are called pests i believe

yeah it's really annoying having to look for them with deadline on

[golden peak]

i hate those mfs

[wicked mural]

does deadline remove the possibility for those chambers that are just a minute of waiting around for my dad to decide to stop spawning enemies?

[civic linden]

yep

[wicked mural]

good, those rooms are boring asl

[golden peak]

#h1-discussion ☝️ 🤓

[civic linden]

oops

[fluid locust]

thas a pretty quick clear

[golden peak]

thats a cracked build

[fluid locust]

ME 🔥

[woven fox]

Hera bow goes brrr

[nova grail]

playing on easier heats and grinding darkness & gems is so much fun, I will probably get to 100 wins then go for the higher heats & skelly prizes etc soon

[lunar peak]

I accidentally made a tank. The run was meh until I reached the Temple of Styx. Anvil of Fates removed some upgrade for special and gave me the two on the first screenshot (Power Rush and firing a piercing shot instead of rushing). Got one Poseidon boon from Charon and another as a chamber reward (also shown at the first screenshot). The whole Hades fight I was sitting in a corner spamming Bull Rush. :) Still lost about 250 HP because I prioritized executing Power Rush instead of blocking. Forgot to even use Mort.

[ember heart]

damn a reverse ME build

nicee

[proven dirge]

his extreme measures drove me SO crazy……

[tepid ruin]

Decided to come back to Hades for a bit

[grim cove]

First sub 14!

[worn eagle]

All Aspects speedrun in 8:28:50

[golden peak]

[heavy solar]

@primal crown first run back got my purple rd

[primal crown]

that second wind putting the dmg there

[willow bronze]

What is this RTA speed pact lol

[heavy solar]

yeah

[sharp agate]

Any sub 50 aspho enjoyers?

[heavy solar]

I think most people sub50 asphodel

[drowsy axle]

so if you have 100% RD, adn you have the hermes sprint (100% for a short time after dash), is that +100% damage global?

[sharp agate]

yes

[drowsy axle]

is that checked for shots when they are fired or when they land?
and for DPS like hangover is it checked when you apply it or when it ticks?

[sharp agate]

It is when it lands for 1, and when it ticks

[drowsy axle]

ok, so if you apply dio call on them, start dashing constantly

i mean i'm always dashing constanlty anyways...

[drowsy axle]

just found out hte hard way what happens when you ||take charons bag||

witches cirle immediately after as icing

[ionic junco]

extreme measures hades is fun as hell

[rocky widget]

I finally did it

[golden peak]

exactly

[frank cliff]

wooohoooo

[worn eagle]

be me
AP2
get things anyway

[golden peak]

yooooo

wtf

how long have you been attempting this

[willow bronze]

Alex please mod and push 60 with us 🙏

Join the gang

(Only if you want to ofc)

[worn eagle]

ykw I'm not that opposed to doing that for 60, were I to ever start grinding it

I'll see what I feel like doing.

[worn eagle]

I gave it a few attempts a few weeks ago (the 55 heat zeus clip in speedcord memes chat is courtesy of that session) and 1 attempt today

[worn eagle]

the thought-process here was to switch to hellmode because JS3 DC2 would have felt horrendous, which is something I hadn't yet thought of during that first session.

[golden peak]

woww

[willow bronze]

The mines are calling

And yeah dc2 feels terrible on zagshield

[golden peak]

unmodded 55 in a few attempts is crazyy

ive only done one unmodded 50 ever

which was my first 50

[willow bronze]

I kinda want to do one just for fun

[bold jolt]

I still haven't done unmodded 50 but I can probably do it with Zeus shield now that I think about it

My last attempt was beo and I got 4 sacked and gave up but I can probably get it to work on Zeus bc it's more consistent

[willow bronze]

What could do wrong

I’ll just run earring after tart to afford a sack

And dad should be fine

[golden peak]

my first 50

how cursed

sold hs and rd

and had 1 hp left

[willow bronze]

Lmao

[vivid wraith]

I'm new to the discord but I wanted to share my biggest achievement in Hades, I'm not very good at the game (Thank you godmode and perseverance being rewarded) but I finally got all of the Steam achievements the other day, which I'd promised I'd do before starting Hades 2 - having a look in this channel, I'm so impressed by the amazing heat levels people are getting!!! 🤩 Really shocking (in a good way) how high those heat levels are 🔥

[summer jackal]

holy GG!

[bold jolt]

8

[sharp agate]

Any spaghetti enjoyers?

[sly galleon]

My first ever EM4 win! Yes, I had 6 casts.

[sharp agate]

Rats are unkind

[sleek halo]

chiron bow!! it's so rare to get this build but MAN when you get it

[astral rune]

not necessarily a victory in a conventional sense, but took time and effort

[eternal aspen]

build that one shot everyting

hades only last 15 sec

[willow bronze]

Nice

[wicked mural]

sometimes I have no idea what auto aim is trying to do. Is there an invisible enemy in that corner? I'm on 0 heat

[brittle belfry]

you can see the moment the direction change

[willow bronze]

it will fire in the direction you're facing if there are no nearby enemies

[brittle belfry]

aint it just the wall ?

[willow bronze]

huh

[brittle belfry]

for the special going to the left?

[willow bronze]

oh I thought we were talking about the laser

[brittle belfry]

I tho we were talking about why his special went away

[wicked mural]

oh so the enemy that was nearby didn't count as a nearby enemy? Good jokes

[brittle belfry]

damn didnt see that laser going away lol

[wicked mural]

the cast that I cancelled was aimed DIRECTLY at the enemy. But the special that I cancelled it with was aimed at the corner for no reason

I seriously don't understand

I was nowhere near a wall either

[eternal aspen]

use mouse + keyboard while playing adamant rail it does help a lot u can actually aim with it

[warm notch]

Idk either your controller bugged out or you flicked the thumbstick the wrong way

[warm notch]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1226642940764487690/1263614618333614251/Hades_2024-07-18_14-52-06.mp4?ex=669ae051&is=66998ed1&hm=646f4c9cfcce456216055217d5b9b6201b57bd2f06aa253695eb8d96091a1339& special auto aim is overrided by thumbstick direction if you cancel the cast with it, you dont have a controller overlay so thats the most I can say about it

[wicked mural]

why does auto aim turn off when you cancel cast? Who is responsible for that design choice?

[warm notch]

lol triple bomb start moment

[warm notch]

dont ask me, Its prob not intentional like other quirks of animation canceling idk why youre so mad about it

[willow bronze]

The game has quirks. It’s not going to be updated so might as well play around them as best you can

[wicked mural]

I wasn't mad. I love this game to hell and back but sometimes it's goofy!!

[hollow jacinth]

Yeah it’s a really odd quirk

[sly galleon]

Another EM4 win, 8 casts this time. I was doing 8k damage to Hades per cycle lol. I think I could've gone sub-10 with this build if I didn't have dusa's companion but I wanted to see how she interacts with hades when summoned.

my first wr since the 64 heat

[lilac sedge]

pls tell me guys what keepsakes i m missing ( who should i gift)

[golden peak]

missing 3 of the boon giving gods

[primal crown]

Check the codex for who doesn't have the first heart filled (+dad who needs a 2nd nectar)

Oh is dusa(top)/zeus, pos, aphro(middle)/dad(bottom)

[little prairie]

49 heat on Hera with 1:28 and 540 HP to spare. Keys to success: get hyper delivery.

Got chaos legendary which was neat

[golden peak]

Man clears Unmodded 50 em4 like it's nothing

[proud coral]

new save file, on 4th escape attempt i beat the boss

[worn eagle]

Fresh File

[proud coral]

Xd I can't do fresh file yet hahaha that's too much for me atm

[worn eagle]

what you just did is technically a fresh file spear run. you beat a run, starting from a new save, in one session. that's all fresh file is; doesn't have to be first-run.

[little prairie]

That's the goal, adding 1 DC. Then I probably tap out

[worn eagle]

we are so back

around 250 hours of high heat sword grinds for this

@heavy solar you (among othes) were right about world splitter zagsword and I owe you an apology

it's a fun time 😌 #h1-discussion message

[harsh coral]

Curious, what were they right about ?

[golden peak]

is it easier or harder than the usual dedge sword

[heavy solar]

Nice Purple RD

[worn eagle]

felt significantly easier to me

[summer parcel]

the pressure points coming through at the end I think and the whole exchange between hades, zagreus and megaera was just cherry on top

[willow bronze]

why is there a whole dio call being unused

[golden peak]

for the voiceline

[heavy solar]

Clearly rng manipulation purposes

[golden peak]

finally got this damn aspect out of the way

[bold jolt]

that's the same screenshot lmao

[golden peak]

wait

the zagsword

there

[bold jolt]

oh right the world splitter

it's so cursed

[golden peak]

both were first try

this is so crazy

[bold jolt]

oh damn

massive gamer

just do it for gilga too

easy

[golden peak]

lets not push it

[bold jolt]

you're on a roll

you gotta

[golden peak]

pos sword then

but man

that aspect is so garbage

id rather play gilga

[bold jolt]

okay so

gilga :)

[golden peak]

got me there

[primal crown]

Is world splitter actually cooking

[golden peak]

i had golden ely rng

fountain patty midshop

and 2 of the last 4 chambers were armoured flamewheels

and still almost went overtime

[bold jolt]

achilles gaming

[golden peak]

achilles gaming

2.5 min hades damn

[bold jolt]

i rolled twice on ares in tart and he didn't give cast lmao

then got natural athena cast from midboss so might as well

then dc2 happened

[bold jolt]

is that good or bad lmao

bc achilles bossing isn't good from what i've heard

at least with just attack

[golden peak]

i dont know both ig

personally any longer and i just die from being bad

[bold jolt]

this was just achilles atk but with bonus chonky cast every so often

[bold jolt]

same tbh

im like 2 hits from death

[golden peak]

one if you do it wrong enough

[bold jolt]

maximum is 80 isnt it

[golden peak]

if you had a skull lodged

120\

[bold jolt]

oh technically i guess

i was counting that as another hit lmao

but yeah if the skull brought be to 86 that makes sense

but yeah i didn't play well

i also lost acorn within like seconds on em3 lmfao

[golden peak]

this is normal for me

i dont reach that far without ddash anyway

#h1-discussion actually

[heavy solar]

New fists pb

@primal crown first normal build to ever have Purple Rd

[golden peak]

Yay

What in the doom poms

Even one of those poms would serve better in the dash

[heavy solar]

Idk what you mean

I thought about it but then was like “but I do have the option to pom my doom damage for a funnier victory screen”

Clean asf dad fight for this build

[sharp agate]

Me happy

[drowsy axle]

my cast is only L7 😦 😛

[sharp agate]

What does this even mean

[fierce sage]

32 heat was extremely easy with Hestia, barely got any boons and i forgot about lowering my healing to make this easier. 1st try and didn’t even get close to loosing a death defiance

[fierce sage]

My strategy for Hestia is very simple, grab Artemis attack and dash and maybe grab mobility from Hermes
,try to find dash strike/attack damage from chaos if you can and maybe ricochet fire and you just win the game

[sharp agate]

Btw, while Arty attack is great, Aphro attack is preferred due to its consistency.

ggs tho

[fierce sage]

I just go for Artemis attack because I love seeing stupid high numbers in Tartarus

[sharp agate]

👍

[willow bronze]

arty is probably worth it if you have ~100 additive with the attack

hunter dash qualifies so I'd say go wild

also based richochet

[sharp agate]

ricochet is based af ngl

[willow bronze]

so good

[fierce sage]

Tried 40 heat with Hestia and got really close, I was doing super well until I got 4 chambers in styx which kinda just screwed over everything and I ran out of time during phase 2 of hades

[sharp agate]

:).

[drowsy axle]

normal run: worrying that you'll waste your call on the enemy invulnerability threshold
7-cast-hera-run: worrying that you'll waste your standard attack on the enemy invulnerability threshold

New Luci PB

[golden peak]

Ia this for aotw

[fierce sage]

40 fear on attempt 3, this wasnt too bad, the other 2 attempts I made it to phase 2 of hades but died due to the timer because I had awful luck with Styx, Hestia made 40 heat pretty easy tbh I’m probably gonna start working on 45 heat soon

[golden peak]

nice build

usually at 40+ people run lc4 and stubborn defiance so if youre going higher you might want that

[fierce sage]

Yeah, I usually don’t put on stubborn defiance because it was honestly pretty rare to loose death defiances with Hestia

[golden peak]

i should try that

actually i did once

[warm notch]

Hestia dd's is pretty comfy

[golden peak]

at 40 sure, past that its more meme/challenge run stuff

[warm notch]

For em4 50 its quite decent though yeah youd usually rather just not do em4

[heavy solar]

Yes

Yeah this build was even luckier than the last

I wish this game had a breakdown of damage by each weapon/boon like in h2

[golden peak]

oh

nice

wish the inbuilt dps meter existed in this game

wanted to know how much jolt did

[primal crown]

is the meter across all run or per fight

[golden peak]
