this would have been way faster but I did all tunnels for keepsake

#

but damn this build is so good

so much lightning flying

btw cold fusion doesnt really do anything

#

since you are constantly shooting enemies will get jolted all the time anyway

I wonder how long I could streak on hestia for

golden peak

at 0 heat, infinitely

willow bronze

True

Smile :).

bold jolt
#

When sub5

sharp agate
#

I ask myself that question every day man

golden peak
#

before gta6

sharp agate
#

The most average sub 6 to ever sub 6

ionic arch
#

First 16 heat, which was much easier (read: luckier) than all the heats before it. Now the road to 32 begins

#

Also, that makes the last of the 49 achievements!

drowsy axle
#

smack down daddy with just r1

#

one dragon rush charges like a bar and a half

smoky warren
#

beat em4 hades with a spread fire build

#

was actually rlly fun I like spread fire

aweseom

sharp agate
#

Cast bug why zagcry

drowsy axle
#

fnished the stygian blade quest
last 2 i needed were world cutter and cruel thrust, which are exclusive, so i figured it would take 2 runs
but i got thrust and then anviled it into cutter and did it in one 😆

willow bronze
#

lmao

harsh coral
#

I really dislike the anvil at the end in general. Even if you got some really crappy hammers, you’ve got at least at a rhythm and/or picked boons to match your terrible hammer situation. So I rarely pick it.

Is that just me? Or does everyone cut their losses and go for broke?

drowsy axle
#

yeah, i feel like suddenly changing a fundamental part of your build right beore hades is a risk

harsh coral
#

So do you pick it if it appears and you have terrible hammers? What about 1/2 bad hammers?

willow bronze
#

i mean i rarely pick it

#

if my first hammer is bad i'd probably reset

#

playing modded zeus shield so first hammer is guaranteed ER and i try and duck second hammer to avoid getting cshot

harsh coral
#

Oh I play iOS and PC with only dps mod. So I pray at the alter of RNG gods. I’ve never really thought about resetting feels like I need to get better. I do, I mean I, I’m not even at like 5 heat

willow bronze
#

But I think modded is a better game anyways

fierce sage
#

I was so wrong for assuming curse of drowning was mid

#

Lost 2 death defiances because I wanted the fastest hades kill possible

golden peak
willow bronze
#

Curse of damage

bold jolt
#

CoD can have some insane damage on achilles lmao nice

#

common rd too is pretty gaming

golden peak
#

that beautiful heroic doom though

smoky warren
#

Ran out of time and had to dps race hades

#

luckily I had rocket cluster bombs which made killing him so ez

#

I was trying to see the dioneris build but rocket cluster bombs overshadowed it

#

also managed to get the ares and aphro duo

golden peak
#

clocketss

#

nice

#

% boon would have done so much more on it tho

sharp agate
#

Clockets spotted

smoky warren
#

didn't get an opportunity to switch it out

golden peak
#

ah makes sense

#

First 32

Amazing

Pls use dark foresight

um that is what I'm using

willow bronze

#

Sry brain fart

indigo cypress
#

I guess I should probably feel good about this but it only took like 3 attempts and I've done harder things in other games so I kind of feel nothing.

sharp agate
#

Do 40 heat now

indigo cypress
golden peak
#

ah i see ive been beat to that

#

try 50

#

also another pos special sea storm charon enjoyer 🤝

#

unpommed shoals and jolt tho :tragic:

fierce sage
#

Tried out a new build I was interested in for some time and gonna say, I was pleasantly surprised

#

I didn’t get the legendary but that damage was still very solid especially when you consider how safe you are when using Rama’s special

fierce sage
drowsy axle
#

usually take refreshing nectar, but this run only had 2 boons thanks to UC and took ambrosia

#

gave me heroic cast and call, followed up by epic wave pounding to buff the call

#

poseidon was hitting for about 800 usually 2x per cast

#

could only have ben better with riptide

golden peak
#

call rarity usually never matters btw

drowsy axle
#

on poseidon its pure damage

golden peak
#

poseidon call is a beast with poms

harsh coral
#

I lucked out so much that I’m afraid of the pay back.

I was trying to do a twin shot bow thing, but then I got mirage shot in tart, sweet nectar, rush delivery, and chaos cast boon in asphodel, and like every POS boon without wear his keepsakes

sharp agate
#

What in the world is that mirror

golden peak
#

?

#

its a fine mirror

#

id just switch to fated persuasion

fierce sage
#

32 heat technically Boonless on my first attempt, I say technically because I had a 5 chamber Styx which forced me to grab a boon I never used and I’m just gonna count it as Boonless because I never used the boon and a 5 chamber Styx is bs (and I’d be doing the exact same thing with no differences) Anyways, this was honestly super easy because not getting boons makes it so lot of the heat options are super free

golden peak
#

if you didnt use cast its fair

this took me a while

where is my steam achievement

golden peak

it doesnt have an achievement

upper rose

theres a skelly statue achievement innit

golden peak
#

in game

#

you get the statue

#

not on steam

upper rose
#

yes but theres a steam one for 8 and 16

golden peak
#

yeah and thats it

#

not for 32 bc some ppl think 32 is too hard

upper rose
#

bruh 😭

golden peak
#

i mean just because theres no steam achievement doesnt make it meaningless lol

upper rose
#

yah true lol

golden peak
#

try 40 next

upper rose

no more pushing heat

i might do some casual or speedruns but generally done with the game

Insane 32 heat run with Zagreus' fists

golden peak
#

really fast too

sharp agate
#

Damn, almost a speed Pb on 32 heat

#

Good build too

drifting mist
#

Ye was kinda close to beat PB, I believe it was with Rama double shot lol, that thing melts

unique sparrow
#

24/24 aspects done on 32H now, woo

i don't really have the urge to push for higher heat than that but this hell mode replay was a lot of fun! so many aspects i'd ignored when i played years ago, so many mechanics i hadn't understood, etc

fierce sage
#

Beat 32 heat with my favorite build just for the hell of it. I definitely wasn’t expecting to get splitting headache this run, I grabbed Dionysus’s attack because it was the second to last boon I was going to grab and I wanted exit wounds from Artemis.

drowsy axle
#

slowly getting closer

sharp agate
#

Bro gets more epic casts from Chaos than I do lmao

drifting mist
#

I love crush shot Hera

sharp agate
#

My only non Beo sub 6 😌

fierce sage
#

There’s a good chance you would’ve won that run in 32 heat

drowsy axle
#

given that patroclus can stealth heal me

fierce sage
drowsy axle
#

i can see argument for either, going wit hLC based on bananas guide but will certainly try CF if i hit a wall

willow bronze
#

And then taking Patty kiss

#

HL5 is also standard but this is 32 so it’s fine

drowsy axle
#

honestly i used to think stubborn defiance was a never take, but it provides huge healing throughout a high heat run and negates most of the downsides of LC

willow bronze
#

Pretty much

#

It’s easier to learn bosses well than to learn BP2 to the point where you don’t die more than 6 times

New here! 50 heat with Hestia!

#

Also, satyr sack RNG is absolutely brutal at high heat, but I feel I’m a slower player

worn eagle
#

wtf

#

rare time-wise + heat-wise PB

willow bronze
#

Nice run

#

Also that heat spread is so based

sharp agate
#

Gg!

desert matrix
#

I think 54 heat is doable with extreme measures 4 on and a second room satyr sack, but man idk if any higher is possible

#

With Hestia at least

#

BC calisthenics and damage control seem like no gos

willow bronze
#

I did 54 ri2 dc0 em3 without too much issue

#

Learning em4 can push you up to 58 and then ri3 is just dangerous

#

Calisthenics program is fine. Hestia has a lot of damage so you’re rarely dying to deadline in my experience

sharp agate

I think you’d enjoy the speedrunning server

Sub 6 min clears? Wild stuff. As you can see from my PBs, I’ve got some work to do haha 💪

sharp agate
#

Some people can get under 5 minutes!

little prairie
#

Got 4 sacked and still got my best ever time

golden peak
#

sub9 easy then with 2sack

little prairie
#

I guess yeah. Those last few Styx tunnels went by really fast so idk. Splitting bolt and hyper sprint weren't gotten until styx

#

Ely just went way faster than usual. Into at 4:45, out of at like 6:30. I've definitely entered Ely earlier than that and had never left it that early.

#

Eris is just so much easier to use than Hera, my beloved.

Beat Hades on a Bow run (second clear) with a Greater Call from Zeus.

Close one

Just annihilated Hades with Varatha, Flurry Jab and Hangover are so gods-damn broken.
Got Zeus's Greater Call on the last hit again (wasn't at low health, just wanted to clown on the gloomy giant).
Only used one Death Defiance.

golden peak
#

you will get more value using the small calls

river swallow
#

"It's not about the money, Batman, it's about the message."

golden peak
#

fair enough

river swallow
#

I just beat Hades with the shield. I forgot I could block or use my special, so I was just rushing around like I did in my sword run (first clear).
Used all my Death Defiance, the ice beam cast did a ton of the work. The attack buffs were pretty strong this run, too.

Couldn't style on Hades this time, sadly.

what else would you want

like

titan blood or something

meta resources dont make sense you should already be maxed at that point

also you get a lot of those anyway

winter agate

i maxed out only 4 aspects

my hera bow is only lvl 3

@bold jolt @sharp agate @worn eagle i meant Fated Persuasion

Huh

#

That does not explain how you got 100% Fiery when the max is 75%

drowsy axle
#

smells like mods

sharp agate
#

It could be some rare bug with god mode

#

Also, I think the cast time drop is wrong

drowsy axle
#

or unupdated game version? mb fiery was higher in a previous patch

golden peak
sharp agate
#

I know about that

golden peak

its unupgraded hera

Unless quick reload scales strangely

They dont have windows activated

sharp agate

Nope, the cast drop time is wrong as well

sharp agate

It should be 2.22, but it's 1.82

golden peak

R u accounting for lvl 3 hera

#

Wait that makes les sense

sharp agate
willow bronze

I'm pretty sure they have quick reload

Which changes the thing on Hera's description iirc

Even worth it with damage

Ah no flurry?

Snurst kind of messes me up because I can't hit load fast enough tbh

Chose twin over flurry in ely

willow bronze

Oh rip

Had hyper delivery and i don't do that with flurry the best

willow bronze
#

Flurry is best in slot

#

Fair

sharp agate
#

Flurry is def really hard to use

little prairie
#

Which is kind of ironic because flurry makes bow much easier initially.

willow bronze
#

Ideally you want to get your casts out as quickly as possible which is why flurry good

little prairie
#

Problem with flurry is I can't hit cast fast enough so my casts go out partially with the second shot

golden peak
#

I wish there was a bow hammer that shot all three bow ammo at once like delta chamber

little prairie
#

Have cast mapped to left bumper for Hera and beo

Lol bow delta chamber

It'd be more like serrated

little prairie
#

3:48 through Asphodel, pretty sure that beats my old record by at least 30 seconds. And just picked up epic hyper delivery

#

Let's not mess this up

#

5:46 end Ely, that's at least a min better than my best

#

2 sack, we at 6:37. Previous best is 9:16

golden peak
#

7:20 lets go

#

10

little prairie
#

Going shopping esp for not Hermes was probably a bad call.

#

7:28.92. lots of really weird boons but the important ones were there and chaos and Charon were extremely kind

golden peak
#

2 min pb is huge

little prairie
#

Feeling pretty good about that jump yee

golden peak
#

unmodded as well

little prairie
#

Yeppers. Hooking my computer up to the TV feels like it has a little more lag, somewhere. Kind of why I'm waiting to play any more H2 until release.

#

Had like 4 runs around the 9:20 mark in the last few weeks and then all of a sudden this nonsense happens.

#

Battle rage is so clutch tbh

#

Worth taking ares just for that

#

Or at least feels like it

There were some big numbers on the screen the few times I saw Yee 🙂

#

Had 1 acorn use left even. Duno what better keepsake would be there. Also, instaphasing bosses is kind of helpful in not getting hit. TIL

Dad call and you do a P2 meg

This is my wheelhouse as a Beo player

sharp agate

#

I accidentally burned last Meg on the styx mini boss and didn't buy the refill before entering the styx

little prairie
bold jolt
#

also tdash on hera is a bit sus unless it was like your last boon before entering dad/styx

little prairie
#

It was from tart lol.

sharp agate
#

It's mostly fine if you don't have snurst

little prairie
#

I saw epic and monkey brained it

#

Other options were epic attack and common call tbf

bold jolt
#

on the other hand snurst would've been huge lmao

#

oh rip

sharp agate
#

I totally forgot Zag salute was made by Zyru lmao

little prairie
#

I feel like I need to remap differently to properly use snurst

sharp agate
#

What do you have cast on rn

little prairie
#

Left bumper for Hera and beo

sharp agate
#

That's the best spot for castpects

little prairie
#

Idk if thumb would be faster. Probably not.

#

Dash isn't moved, attack and special on right bumpers

#

Considered putting dash on left bumper. Put reload there for gun.

Managed to beat the game for the first time yesterday

These were my stats

Pretty normal first build

chaos egg why

#

Trying to use your thumb for dash, cast and strike is just

#

not happening

little prairie
#

First thing I did in H2 lol. And cast can stay on left bumper because there's not gun to reload and dash casting is kind of more of a thing.

#

Left bumper is reload, cast load, and Zeus special

stiff lark
#

This was my second win

Cool

#

Get a bunch of flat damage sources like Zeus, tidal dash, hangover

#

And then boost it all with a global damage boost

#

It’s pretty strong

And it helps that the shield is the best weapon in the game 🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

I used a mod to change my save to a hell mode save

sharp agate

It togglable with the speedrun modpack

willow bronze

I can’t do that

#

Because I’m on the ps4

How do you get hell mode normally??

sharp agate

You have to turn it on when you create a new save file

sharp agate

Sadly, yes

I am indeed sad now

Because of the days I spent on this save file

It's only marginally easier and you'll die in Tartarus anyways :)

willow bronze
#

If you get to the point of PL holding you back from 63, you’re probably committed enough to hades that getting a pc or starting a whole new save file is worth it

#

So yeah might as well start a hell mode file

worn eagle
#

jailbreak your console kappa

little prairie
#

Replaying the game to get a hell mode file up to speed is pretty fun. Get to see how much better you've become.

#

Too lazy for pic so just imagine general Eris but got 8:24 beating my previous best with it by 56 seconds. We making inexplicable huge progress all at once.

I'm not even playing for fun anymore, I just want sub 5 :(

devout moat
#

Damn

#

I just got sub 10 today

#

How many “free” chamber did you get? Or are you just cracked

sharp agate
#

2 in tart, 2 in Aspho, and 3 in Ely but in a super cursed order

sharp agate
devout moat
#

I can see

sharp agate
#

I think this is my 49th sub 6

devout moat
#

Isn’t that close too wr?

sharp agate
#

This is for the modded category, in which the WR is 4:30, and my PB is a 5:11

#

Unmodded WR is a 5:04

devout moat
#

Damn

#

I’m playing unmodded because I don’t have a choice

sharp agate
#

I played unmodded for a long time, it's pretty fun

#

Except for the Sack, that can rot in hell

devout moat
#

I could’ve have it then

sharp agate
devout moat
#

And also when you need a high rarity boon but then I becomes a conmen

devout moat
#

I get like 900th with mine pb

smoky warren
#

gilgamesh is kinda fun

#

even though it's considered one of the worst

#

I think it's better if you ignore the maim

#

I think the amount of dashes makes dash boons complement your dash strike really well

willow bronze
#

soup soup soup

willow bronze
#

stones, ichors, and braids are all super strong for castspects like beowulf and hera

#

movespeed is multiplicative, so hypersprint(2x), and two ichors (20% each), ends up being 2.88 instead of 2.4

#

if you use rush delivery, all of that movespeed gets converted into extra global damage boost

#

so the ability to stack a lot of those is super strong

smoky warren
#

fastest time, eris is awesome

#

still not sub 10 sadlu

smoky warren
#

new record again

willow bronze
#

Delta is fine for survival, but rocket bomb and cluster bomb are best hammers

#

Best Hermes is hypersprint and rush delivery

The superior flurry

#

(like by dad, kind of actually)

#

And then we follow it up with an Eris with first chamber delta and splitting bolt and still get 11:38 which is comparatively unfortunate.

#

But we'll always have that than domination, after only like 1k runs

#

6 darkness short of the next badge

#

Is ME any good for dem speed running?

primal crown

Best option lol

sharp agate
#

Zap is fine as well, but it relies too heavily on RD

little prairie
#

Tfw you're going Hera and get dem chamber 3 but get no snurst or Rav will after two rerolls

sharp agate
#

Just take attack or special after one roll imo

#

It's not worth the 2 rolls

little prairie
#

But fret not, I shall be healed extra good

#

Common special dash call was the offering after one reroll

sharp agate
#

You can special or roll, it's up to you on that one

#

I like saving rolls for Hermes because he hates me

We got rare battle rage everything is going to be okay

I tried Merciful End on zeus shield before but in the traditional way (Ares attack, Athena special) and this definitely seems...stronger
Or maybe it's because I unlocked it almost right away on Tartarus thanks to Chaos

Sorry

I’m tired

Zeus special can go either way, really. It’s typically recommended to keep on the regular way, but the ares special does have increased base damage over the strike
