Got all 5 components of ME on dem in tart <3. Spent almost 3 min doing it tho. Here's to hoping for first sub10 fists

[little prairie]

Yay. +2 dashes didn't hurt.

Accidentally opened up curse of drowning too early but it works pretty well.

One more to go

Finally, I'm starting to get good at this game! (Well better than I've been anyhow 😄 )

there's like

Why did you have Zeus attack on Zag sword?

[heavy solar]

the switch screen has since been improved if you've seen any of my more recent screenshots

[heavy solar]

...it's an option

have you seen the one codex mod clip with flurry?

it's codex mod so they could boost the hermes swift strike but

[sharp agate]

I have seen that before, that's incredible

[heavy solar]

I really want to get a heroic swift strike zag sword w/ flurry and pwabe

in an actual game

[harsh coral]

Oh I see the reflection of your hands now. Is there no screenshot button on the switch?

[heavy solar]

there is but then I need to go through the hastle of getting the screenshot from switch to my phone

[random forum]

There is, but it’s a decent amount of work to transfer the screenshots off

You have to scan two QR codes

[sharp agate]

I used to do phone pic tech

a lot of my hyrule compendium involves selfies of Link taking damage

[little prairie]

Switch screenshot sharing difficult

[formal crow]

I sadly don’t have that much

Manily my compendium consists of bought photos for materials and poorly taken photos of enemies and animals

The only two good photos i have is the Satori and Nayen (?) the dragon because they are stationary

[random forum]

Buying them is honestly the way to go if you’re like me and can’t take good pictures

[junior dune]

First ever run with shield. Or, a run that lasted longer than 5 minutes cause I didn't find it interesting. And now it's my favorite weapon

Better screenshot showing the main things that made it possible

[willow bronze]

Nice

Go for Zeus on special next time though

[junior dune]

Every time I got a chance to grab it, there were other options that were better

[willow bronze]

I doubt it

[junior dune]

wait, special. Thought you meant cast for some reason

[willow bronze]

Smair and jolted might take priority over spec

Thunder dash is not desirable here

[junior dune]

Thing is, I don't think I ever saw special, since the first zues boon I found was when I already had ares for special

[willow bronze]

Oh yeah that makes sense

If you have ares on special, the only way to make it useful is Athena on attack into merciful end

[junior dune]

I mean, the continuous doom is really nice

So, just started a new run. Put on zues charm, yadayada. Zues special on the shield is broken wtf

[willow bronze]

it's only proccing when the doom actually drops. otherwise its 30 damage

[willow bronze]

yeah it's fairly strong, better with explosive return and even better with static discharge

[junior dune]

First hammer so far: Explosive return

[willow bronze]

solid

[junior dune]

Finished first boss. What should my next charm be @willow bronze ?

Build is a bit weird

[willow bronze]

sell drunken dash

it will replace your dio call hangover stacks which do more damage

[junior dune]

Athena maybe? For either dash or attack?

[willow bronze]

yeah i usually take athena

[junior dune]

k, thx

Well, not my best time, but this was a pretty exciting run! Gained a lot of story from it, which I love! 😄

[random forum]

Funny orange boon is legendary, they have specific and usually multiple boon prerequisites depending on which god

Upgraded codex can show you all the prerequisites

[willow bronze]

context: divine protection is known as the funny orange boon because it shows up often in fresh file runs of hades where you usually get a ton of athena boons

[random forum]

Seems dragon appendix had the answer to that

[willow bronze]

It’s an emote from a fresh file server afaik yeah

[sharp agate]

nice

[worn eagle]

nah, from my personal one which I suppose makes it a freshfile server, huh

[sharp agate]

Clean run

[smoky warren]

I did say this build was good but it still got incredibly close at the end

I just got hit a lot unnecessarily

and I feel like lucifer leaves you open

[warm notch]

Yeah you gotta let go of attack or your dashes wont have iframes

[sharp agate]

Clean dad ngl

Not a sub 6, but a styxdad PB and a Dad PB of 23.40

Generally you only want one source of hangover

And drunken dash is not great

Artemis or Aphrodite will work better on special

[sharp agate]

Dio attack is great, wdym?

[sharp agate]

Poms are for the weak

Legacy is still a scam I see

[paper garnet]

Well, dad let me go without a fight, so I guess I "beat" the game? Also I've got a job now! I think it's a minimum wage-job though, sorta just get paid the scraps you find...

[random forum]

Good thing he let you go

Enjoy the credits

[sharp agate]

A very fun run where a lot of things went right :)

[paper garnet]

I loved them so freaking much! This game is truly a marvel, and I mean a marvel! I was NOT expecting so much extra stuff after the "end" of the game, like so many games just end. But to watch the credits during the entire descent into Hell was absolutely brilliant!

Now to 100% it. 😄

Soupy

[bold jolt]

good soup

[random forum]

So glad the two trippy duos are compatible so I can get them both out of the way forever in one run

[random forum]

Spent the entire run chasing vengeful mood, wasn’t offered ares special until tunnels, decided to see if I could kill phase 2 by standing still (I could)

[wise plaza]

First time playing with a controller

Has its pros and cons over mouse and keyboard

[paper garnet]

Everything does. I haven't played on controller before, but my family is thinking of getting the game on our PS5 so they can play it too, and if they do I'd def try it as well. I like comparing ports of games, IK that's weird...

[wise plaza]

The extra mobility is nice but I find it harder to aim attacks

Specially things like Dio's cast or the rail's special

[golden peak]

try bow i think its better on controller

[wise plaza]

And more nichely, dash striking with the Gilgamesh fists

[random forum]

For some weapons I like to bind attack to left shoulder

Makes dash striking a little easier

[warm notch]

or just bind dash to left shoulder instead

[keen slate]

bro 10 minutes with gilga and this build is wild

This is not a good nemesis build at low blood maaaan

[paper garnet]

I'd have to fire up the game and check, I don't remember. I've tried several combinations.

[willow bronze]

what aspect have you been using?

There's also a heat guide pinned in #h1-high-heat-strategies

[devout moat]

Are you new ??

[paper garnet]

I've played for 50 hours, so not "new" per-se.

[paper garnet]

The Blitz Disc for the Shield.

[willow bronze]

that's a pretty solid aspect

try putting zeus on the special and looking for more zeus boons, hangover, doom, etc

[golden peak]

man what is it about zeus shield

[willow bronze]

😃

Just the funnest aspect

[golden peak]

i hated it since i tried it idk

[willow bronze]

fair enough

[golden peak]

aspect of cshot

[golden peak]

still doesnt explain why like 90% of new players use zeus now

it has replaced chiron

[willow bronze]

i think players see the haelian video and assume it's the safest/best aspect

and to an extent it is pretty noob friendly

[golden peak]

i must be a special kind of noob then

[willow bronze]

a zeus special kind of noob

have you practiced the basic combo on skelly

[paper garnet]

I like the Shield and the Spear the most, and the sword is pretty good too. Surprisingly, I also like the bow. But the rail and the fists I can NOT get any good at! I still have only escaped with the Shield no less, made it to dad with the spear but haven't beaten him.

their build is quite literally one of the strongest in the game lmao

mirage shot bug, epic rd, and haste for like another 40% additive lmao

kinda busted

also shield good

I thought this was in reference to the more recent screen from the same guy and went

[bold jolt]

tbf yours isn't so bad either lmao

[smoky shuttle]

on EM4 hades will always do two spin attacks in a row so if you see one you know another is coming so time your dashes accordingly

take the acorn keepsakes and try not to get hit as much as possible

My strategy for dodging dad spins is: fail miserably and get chunked for 40hp

Or have a call ready

you got this

watch sleepsoul's speedrunning guide if you havent

So, so many of these details made it cooler

Like as for the streak, look at my health on the win

[golden peak]

yeah close

wow thats certainly a pact

[undone moth]

Also this was my first run above 20 heat

I figured a little of everything would be better than having barely any healing, for example, or letting foes do +60% damage

It's also somehow my best time with the fists

I also don't have a call, which I really wanted

I also have these 5 defensive boons, and if any single one of them were 1 rarity lower I suspect I would have died

[hot dagger]

I'm scared

This is true, this is something I don't often focus on

And a 4sack

[random forum]

All the global damage

[little prairie]

that is incredible, particularly to get while still upgrading aspects

very nice consistent colours

[smoky shuttle]

god i love doing dodge builds

was looking for second wind but after 2 rolls i settled for a common RD

[keen slate]

dodging more than half of the attacks lol

[smoky shuttle]

didnt take more than like 3 or 4 hits from dad, not even the highest dodge ive had either lol

[little prairie]

Can try it out with ruthless reflex. I'm not sure if it's better, but it can be dodgier

[keen slate]

i prefer greater reflex but idk i dont have enough knowledge to reccomend it

ask @/somenoobdying or someone

[smoky shuttle]

oh damn i didnt even think about that

thats next level

[little prairie]

Oh, I'm pretty sure almost everyone uses greater almost all the time, but Ruthless gives 50% dodge chance so if you can get other dodge up to 50% you can have 100% dodge right before a swing every 2 seconds.

[smoky shuttle]

ive posted this before but this was my all time dodge

[little prairie]

col knuckle out here feeling under valued lol

[keen slate]

thats fair but without double dash you cant dash out of some fathers attacks, also i think its capped but im not sure

[smoky shuttle]

after using call i think it was literally impossible for me to get hit, idk how that works exactly tho

[little prairie]

don't actually have to get out of it, just have to time it right

[smoky shuttle]

i had nothing else to pin lmao

[little prairie]

15+36+20+31.2 = 102.2

(dodge chance is additive, not multiplicative)

[smoky shuttle]

oops i cursed LOL

holy crap thats insane

[little prairie]

lol at crap being allowed but not other swears

dodge builds can be pretty fun, yeah

call

[willow bronze]

literally anything

[golden peak]

lol

[willow bronze]

also rush deliv but not always under control

[golden peak]

even shoals

goes from like 10 -> 16 on first pom iirc

[willow bronze]

since pom increase is uniform across rarity, common boons are more optimal because pomming gives a higher proportionate damage number increase to the base boon

[golden peak]

let me rephrase that

common boons need poms more desperately

[willow bronze]

yeah

[fathom osprey]

New Record - 20 minutes. Gonna aim for sub 30 on all the weapons and maybe try aiming for sub 20 on some of them

[keen slate]

thats such a random build

[rose jungle]

It wasn't planned tbh, my goal was to do the prophecy of beat Hades with the cosmic egg and each different area I chose a different gods charm ti give them nectar for end game stuff so yeah it's random but it somehow worked

[keen slate]

that is funny for me because when i was playing and unlocked the prophecy i was troll enough to be like slright bro if u say so ill beat with a egg and like i didnt even know it was 3 diamonds

that same run i beated it lol

[rose jungle]

Yeah I'm just trying to get the prophecies done xD

Sub 30 on exagryph is hard as hell

you can just not upgrade the aspects

If I spent all my blood rn I would definitely not have everything maxed

This is my third save file so I’m not exactly progressing at the same rate as most first time players would

Titles are available like right after the epilogue though

Good run? No. Hilarious run? Yes. And got the last hammer I needed

That not being with Achilles hurts my soul, but yeah, 3 right on Hermes boons in addition is pretty nice

@sharp agate i did a beo run for you

it was pretty horrid lmao

22 minute is great

thanks bro

[uneven hearth]

[pale pagoda]

aint my best but it was my first time doing 32 heat so im happy i cleared it first try

dear god that's such a cursed pact lmfao gg

hl4 js3 em4 cp2 bp2 is insane for 32 heat

yeah shocking tbh

[keen slate]

s p e e d

top run is like 5 mins thats probably on the leaderboard no?

[bold jolt]

he already has a faster time lmao'

the "why" part is the fact that styx took nearly a minute

[keen slate]

styx in a minute would only be my dream lol

[bold jolt]

the build's got juice for a sub1 styx and dad fight

but just bad styx spawns

[keen slate]

banans whats ur fastest seed speedrun

(also top run is 4:30 lol)

[bold jolt]

5:32

[keen slate]

wtf

[bold jolt]

modded

unmodded is like 7:04 but i dont play that category bc i cant be bothered

[keen slate]

wrong reaction there

anyway unmodded is kinda boring when you get the game

[keen slate]

this can be misunderstood but i accidentaly added 🤣 emoji so its not about u

[sharp agate]

Unmodded is less fun because there are more reset points and resets take longer

[keen slate]

unmodded is less fun bc i have ap2 and i just want like 1 boon and im fine with whatever else i get but i never get that one boon

[bold jolt]

and that's why we dont run ap2 lmao

[sharp agate]

Modded only gives you 4 cores on first boon

[keen slate]

ap2 is fun imo lol

tho i can see why people dont like it

[bold jolt]

never gets that one boon
likes ap2
hm

tbh i don't even know if that's good or not i just clicked random things i usually had on LMAO

[bold jolt]

you buffed every enemy you could as much as you could basically lmao

[willow bronze]

yeah you probably picked some of the most difficult pact options possible

[bold jolt]

the only thing that wasn't maxed out was the fact they hit 80% instead of 100% harder lmao

[pale pagoda]

oh but that makes it more fun for me HAHA

[bold jolt]

fair but it's also a lot more difficult and probably the most difficult pact you could've made that didnt have ri or ap lmfao

[pale pagoda]

help i see ur point

normally what dyou pick for the pact, out of curiosity

[bold jolt]

i have a guide pinned in #h1-high-heat-strategies detailing that lmao

If you like really difficult runs, you can join the speedrunning server and increase heat even more 🗿

[random forum]

I remembered an old post from someone saying arty attack then flex into a duo cast

And then ares just said nah

[golden peak]

ythats a good build wdym

[sharp agate]

Pretty mid run, but fun to play for sure

[random forum]

Sub 5 when

[willow bronze]

Oh yeah that's fine too

if you specifically want a cast build. tidal dash start is more flexible and has a faster tart/aspho

[bold jolt]

ngl tdash doesnt make the build more flexible, it just makes it stronger lmao

all the cast builds achilles likes to uses dont have any overlapping gods

if we dont count meme beam at least

[willow bronze]

flexible because you have more time to get a build togethrer

i guess yeah

[bold jolt]

technically less time bc you dont start off with a prereq

[willow bronze]

you can get by with just tdash damage though

[bold jolt]

until ely yeah lmao

[willow bronze]

yeah

[bold jolt]

it's alright in ely but you'd ideally have something that can do damage lmao

i got this in tarterus yeahh its like hitting with a bat the way these crystals do SO MUCH DAMAGE

[golden peak]

whos going to tell him

[sharp agate]

This run was certainly something I will say

[signal prawn]

why floodflare

why not trippyshot

it does twice the dmg

[sharp agate]

Flood flare is significantly more consistent because you don’t have to hope for an extra cast from Chaos in super early tart

Also flood flare goes through walls and is a pre req for mirage shot

[signal prawn]

oh okay...

makes sense

i still like trippy tho...

the sheer dmg.

9k

[sharp agate]

Dio Beo is really good!

Dio Beo wr is a 5:24

[signal prawn]

damn, must have had insane rng

[sharp agate]

The other main reason Flood flare is more used is because Beo just doesn’t struggle for damage late game, it can insta phase dad quite often

[strong ravine]

Many runners like to submit both with their igt leaderboard runs. People also track RTA because it changes the gameplay a bit sometimes

[heavy solar]

If you want to get an edge on the speed, extreme measures 2 and forced overtime 2 both give you time save

[shut siren]

it never occured to me to tick forced over time to 2-
huh-

[heavy solar]

and I’d probably use deep pockets so you can more consistently get your build together early, cuz obols spent now are more valuable than obols spent later

[willow bronze]

Also turning off tight deadline since it enables survival rooms

[heavy solar]

ideally you wouldn’t get any value from golden touch because you’d actually use your obols

[shut siren]

Is enabling survival room for the coin?

[heavy solar]

Survival rooms stop the timer

[shut siren]

Oh I did not know that

[heavy solar]

so if you get them you’re essentially just getting free time save

[shut siren]

Huh

Gonna try these out tomorrow

[heavy solar]

hmm

especially for a zeus special zeus run, I’d try to get more secondary zeus boons

and more poms on your jolted

[shut siren]

Idk if Im just too used to it but fsr I've never been faster on Beowulf than Zeus

[heavy solar]

and that’s a pretty unfortunate hermes

[heavy solar]

It’s probably just that you have more practice with zeus tbh

or if you’re on controller and using default controls

then beowulf and hera are agony

[shut siren]

Im PC

[heavy solar]

Then it’s probably just experience

Or zeus just clicks w/ you better

[shut siren]

Im p fine with Hera's bow but also I like the multi-direction attacking of Zeus + Cast

I fire in like 3-4 different directions in really annoying Elysium rooms

Shield bash has knockback for that too

[shut siren]

cant say its fast but nothing funnier than poseidon's wall-bash boons on zeus shield special in the Temple Styx

[heavy solar]

ywk is fast for that purpose though

Tidal dash from posiedon

for the exact same purpose, it just does the job 8* better

and leaves your special open for a good special boon

[shut siren]

oh true

[heavy solar]

his dash is just the best damaging dash as is anyways

I think this is the highest amount of health I have ever had

[shut siren]

I used to be such an HP hogger like I'd take Hearts over Poms and Daeds

So there was this time it was with thick skin, Cerberus collar, and Excalibur (so starting health 200) J got to hades with like 450 HP

[random forum]

400+ gets you a unique run clear message

[shut siren]

Yeah I think I got that but forgot what it was
