But I'll go for it anyway, if I feel like it's better, could I ask you to swap it?

Here's mine challenge attempt as well! It was tough, I made some bad decisions in bad moments (wrong use of call for example) and RNG wasn't on my side I think, but I did it! Phew... And I got only 12% bonus from the Butterfly XD

@terse reef Zagreus Spear and Achilles to the rescue, with a lot of love from Aphrodite. Still needed to do a third room in Styx, to use the last summon, because managed to get the sack on the second room. Challenge accepted and complete (I think zagluv )

Nice one! That's a lot of HP ๐Ÿ™‚

Didn't know how the run would be, so I invested in lots of HP

New to roguelike, new to supergiant and thereby new to Hades. Got my first win today which was pretty cool for me. I think i cheesed this one pretty hard though... Nearly threw the win in the end as i played pretty reckless towards stage 1 of Hades, as i did not know about stage 2.

#

Congratulations! I remember when I first got to the second phase... I kind of was expecting it but died nevertheless... Good job!

super fun build in where i tried to get artemis without spawning her via keepsakes and ended up sticking up with artemis-ares

I don't usually like to rely on a single boon, but when life gives you Poms, you make the Hangover build happen.

@terse reef First time doing a weekly challenge. I also put FO2 in because I like to "challenge" myself a bit more. Not a good idea when paired with maxed JS but I did it anyway.

oh wow, so little darkness spent

#

how many attempts did you make before this?

pure birch

I think 16?

ooh nice

just because you had so little darkness spent in the mirror

took me a similar amount, but i had spent 1290 at that point

I wanted to save some for the final level of Death Defy

tough mirage

lucky tooth sure helped me

pure birch
#

I love that one!

tough mirage
#

i've found i don't need it anymore, but it was super useful in the early finishing runs for sure

#

these days, i usually take skull earring, since that 30% health limit effectively drops to 60% after the first defiance restores you to half health

pure birch
#

To me depends, sometimes I like to start with an specific God

#

For example I love Ares + Doom on the Bow Q

#

So spammy

tough mirage
#

ooh yeah, i think the last run i posted had that

pure birch
#

And then on the next region I swap the trinket for something else

#

Its great, hehe

tough mirage
#

just feels a bit slow though

#

granted i only rarely ended up using my attack once i had that, because i'm still not very good at this game and dash + special + occasional attacks/casts gave me more than enough to focus on already

pure birch
#

I cannot live witouth the "nearly miss" dash upgrade that gives you dmg on last second dodges

tough mirage
#

huh, i usually don't notice its effects too too much

#

athena's aid is my favorite call though, and at a close second ares

#

hangover dashes + hermes greatest reflex (more dashes) is very fun too

pure birch
#

I love Athenea Aid

tough mirage
#

if you haven't experienced it yet, the adamant rail with 5x special and rockets is incredible

pure birch
#

A friend of mine is doing a run with it, I really liked the burst fire + infinite ammo

that sounds fun; haven't tried that one yet

pure birch
#

I want to try the fists more, they seem cool

tough mirage
#

they're actually the one weapon i haven't escaped yet, but only because they've only had dark thirst on two or three times, both early on

Does the dodge chance add together linearly? Because if it does, I technically always have 90% dodge chance in this run.

I don't think so, sadly, there is either a cap or some other type of scaling. I don't know what but it's not linear.

Used her on the bull and the dull, wasn't really much use anywhere else. I would have used her on any eventual Styx miniboss, but the first path I had to take was a regular one that had Obols as a reward, the second path gave me the sack.

#

Had the Sneak as miniboss 1, can't use Meg on Meg, had the barge as miniboss 2, on Lernie I kinda forgot and I didn't get to fight miniboss 3. First appearance coincided with the mid-shop, second appearance coincided with an Obol reward that I had to take.

@terse reef Challenge completed. This one took me way too many tries, had so many bad runs going with other weapons before finally getting some luck with Guan Yu. I'll be honest and say that I didn't have a tonne of fun with this one, it was largely just frustrating having to enter Charon rooms knowing full well that I wouldn't be able to purchase anything, and the main gimmick of having to buy all the items from the Wells constantly wasn't particularly engaging. It was challenging for sure, but no where near as fun as previous challenges for me sadly ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

On the plus side it did allow me to complete the Prophecy that requires you to purchase every Well item at least once lmao

Here's my completed Weekly Challenge. Got similar experience as Cones19... Was more challenging and less fun than I anticipated. When I was testing it, it was alright (2 nice wins with Poseidon Blade Cast Build), but it took me 6-7 tries to complete it now... And sometimes it wasn't even RNG's fault, but lack of main attack/cast Boon until Elysium or sometimes even Styx.... Hope others will have better experience ;). I will post a video in self-promotion soon.

@terse reef Also just completed my official run of the challenge. Still enjoyed the challenge but was unlucky enough to not have an attack boon until Styx.

@terse reef This week's challenge is complete! This was a neat concept, I didn't think it was too challenging but not a cakewalk either. Picked bow because it had Darker Thirst, got a nice combination of Killing Freeze on Mistral Dash and Dio on Rama special. Did one extra Styx tunnel at the end because I still didn't have an attack boon, but I don't think it really made any difference. Thanks to you and the others that organize these, I look forward to next week's!

Thought I was going to have to be careful with Guan Yu, but ended up using the special as a hyper-powered sniper shot through the whole run (got both Athena and Chaos boons in Tartarus). Charged special shots were doing about 500 damage!

Nice run ! Do you have a resource for the skips ?

#

My pb hovers around 15, and i think i'm gonna need skips to push 10

lime bane
#

Skips are just NPC chambers, Chaos Gates, Charon's Shop, and the Thanatos encounter.

ornate hollow
#

That... makes a frightening amount of sense actually

gritty dust
leaden dove
#

@lime bane thank you again for a build, still can't "feel" how to play with blade, escaped because of zeus call and double strike

gritty dust
#

@leaden dove I main blade and it's very fun. If you want a glimpse of how each weapon should be played, look at the Elysium weapon enemies. The blade guys are constantly dashing everywhere and that's kinda what you should be doing. Constant dashing, dash attacking, and using your dash to "carry" your nova are probably my big tips.

ornate hollow
#

A good tip for blade is dash attack, dash attack, special with nemesis aspect, and you never goddamn stop

gritty dust
#

Sounds about right

ornate hollow
#

Try to snipe artemis dash and any high multiplier strike (or artemis attack)

#

and watch the game melt in 15 minutes

gritty dust
#

I think my fastest run is 11 minutes with nemesis Blade (on an old save).

#

So yeah. Fo sho.

ornate hollow
#

otherwise you can do the aspect of poseidon, get true shot or electric shot and, same as before, never stop

#

you spam cast, special to get it back, rinse and repeat

leaden dove
#

@gritty dust thank you a lot for a tips, didn't know about dash > nova

ornate hollow
#

Both are really fun, and i didnt like blade either before i started doing these

gritty dust
#

Actually it's the reverse

#

You nova>dash

#

If you interrupt the Nova animation with a dash, you can "carry" the nova's AoE with you

#

Which lets you do the AoE "safely" since you start the animation away from enemies, then dash in to bring the damage portion to them.

lime bane
gritty dust
#

Yeah I should

Woops, sorry

sub 12, the 10 is getting closer

fiery talon
#

Aphrodite Legendary picked up at Chamber 8. Turned into a Charm build.
As it turns out, the fastest way to deal with Theseus' chariot is to charm the bull while he's spinning.

dense spindle
#

So, Theseus' fears about Asterius turning against him weren't unreasonable thanthink

fiery talon
#

It was very amusing. I threw out my shield and half a second later Theseus went "My chariot!" And shortly after he invoked the gods to avenge his chariot and I was like "I didn't do anything to that chariot, why are the gods attacking me?"

TD2 ?

devout heron

Tight Deadline.

Yeah, my previous runs on other weapons were struggling to go fast

So i tried to get TD1 only

On this particular run it wouldn't have mattered all that much, but previous ones were really slow.

@terse reef Challenge complete! Took me 3 tries to get this one done, first was an Artemis Attack Fist run (turns out that's a combo I don't like) and my next run was an Excalibur run that was going amazing until the Satyr sack took 4 rooms to appear and Tight Deadline killed me. This run went far better, had plenty of money by the end and I was still even making purchases throughout the run. Getting Hoarding Slash in Styx was the icing on the cake for this run. Also had 33.6% dodge chance and move speed from Lambent Plume by the end, 1.2% of which was from beating Hades so fast lol.

#

The green +15% Obol upgrade from the Mirror was great for this run too, I'm surprised I've not seen more people using it in the victory screen posted so far for the challenge.

Tell me what I'm looking at.

#

damn, 3 light of ixions?

#

did you like, reset the well multiple times

lunar peak
#

Maybe bought one or two right before a boss shop, then another in the transfer station, or vice versa?

#

now i want to know how many chaos curses you could have up at once

#

wait, probably just 5 huh

kindred sluice
#

yup

analog canyon
#

well

#

you could probably only take curses that specify standard encounters

kindred sluice
#

yup, so no shrouded

analog canyon
#

and try to take as many non standard encounters as possible

#

your main source of chaos would be miniboss rooms

kindred sluice
#

ohhh

#

Two Chaos Gates will not spawn within 8 chambers of each other

analog canyon
#

and even then, assuming your first curse is 4 rooms, you could take an additional 3 curses

#

oh, rip

kindred sluice
#

you'd need to force all of them except the first with Lights

@lunar peak @analog canyon @kindred sluice What if I told you I got them all from the same well?

kindred sluice
#

BEAUTIFUL

#

I spend 3 Fated Persuasions on that well

#

I was rewarded

#

Ugh, should I get on the FP train?

Possibly the worst joke in its context I've ever made, but we're starting to get off-topic.

@terse reef challenge completed. Even though I needed to do the 5 chambers of Styx to find the sack.
Who knew that having money and going fast would make Zagreus a killing machine zaglol

The most fun I've had with a 41, it's quite a strong combo since targeting system locks foes into place.

I also got to clear the challenge, it was pretty fun! Found the sack in the last tunnel hah..

terse reef

Here's my Weekly Challenge run; not as fun as when I was testing the challenge but still nice ๐Ÿ™‚ Got lucky - sack in the second tunnel. Was tight with Elysium Boss (seconds left) and Final Boss. Will post video in self-promotion once it's processed.
EDIT: No video as it turned out it was badly cropped... ugh
