But I'll go for it anyway, if I feel like it's better, could I ask you to swap it?
here's some info: https://www.hades-fansite.com/peachy-weekly-challenges
#h1-builds-and-combat message
Ha ha I didn't realize rail would be so popular for this week's challenge
@terse reef 
First Blade, congrats! Nice build, too ๐
What bonus did you get from the Butterfly out of curiosity?
Gz!
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
Here's the video as well: #self-promotion message
nice!!
@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
)
Nice one! That's a lot of HP ๐
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.
beam
beam
still learning but i got my first bow win without using the bow. Zoom Zoom
I hade 4 dashes with Ares' heroic rifts
I beat the first final boss phase and then lost || in the middle of the second ;-;||
||Didn't expect him to have a second one!||
@terse reef Completed the weekly challenge!
Fun run with Beo ๐
@terse reef I guess it wasn't meant to be anyway, did the challenge fully with Fists + Dusa, but forgot that I couldn't use her Companion during the final boss fight :/
(to better show my main build)
+419% Dash-Strike damage, plus 3% crit chance, Support Fire, Arctic Blast, and +37% attack speed
@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.
Got my first Bow clear tonight on stream. :3 Almost got my first spear clear as well but messed up and took too much damage near the end. ๐ฆ
neato
Damn that is a good run
@kindred sluice nice! But I said Aegis wasn't allowed. 
I'm banning Hestia, too, now, come to think of it. It circumvents boss mechanics too easily.
that's fine, I've barely even looked at Hestia Aspect
Hestia ban seems to targeted lol
Like Lucy is a bit more powerful but nah
Same for GY special buuld
I just realized I read the challenge wrong
I took EM instead of BP
"Welp, time to go get killed again"
Please only post victory screens in this channel! You can post that in #h1-builds-and-combat @dusk skiff
you'll need an imgur link or similar for other channels
just finished a 16 heat run using Excalibur but what makes me really happy about it was that i managed to beat hades without getting hurt. i did have the acorn on but this was my first time not getting hurt by hades
I'm a big fan of Excalibur, working on getting that heat up
You don't have to pray very hard for that, Excalibur is really good imo
you got this boss, special is your friend and the range is deceptively long with Excalibur
this was so stupid
yeaaah gotta love Gun
heck yeah!!
it was indeed
oh wow, TheHolyDerp, so few clears but super fast times!
or is the low number of clears because you used to use god mode but no longer do, or vice versa?
@terse reef Trial and error but with Athena dash plus ruthless reflex, I was able to push through.
Couldn't get a duo so it doesnt qualify for the weekly challenge
but
still sweet imo
@terse reef I'm sorry for my previously failed attempt. I read the conditions wrong so I thought I finished the challenge. But I did it right this time with my best bud Skelly and the underrated Zag's spear.
Congrats!
@mighty crest You didn't use all your Summon charges (got 2 left as I can see on the screenshot), so unfortunately it doesn't count ๐ฆ
nice
Nice
that was close
by far the easiest run ive done, doom was doing so much damage
relentless volley would have been super useful in my similar run yesterday
pretty easy indeed, but i got kind bored of just dodging and specialing so i went for risky attacks and lost a couple death defiances
felt pretty fast
oh wow, 16 minutes!
Oof that's fast af
aphrodite's call made backstabbing too easy
it's like 700+ damage on the third swing
fun to turn Beowulf into Hera
also from the other day when I didn't know this channel existed:
@terse reef Thanks for the sweet challenge.
Ayy, another Dusa run!
and you remembered to use all your charges before final boss
Yeah, had to remember to burn all the charges before turning in the sac.
The challenges end Sunday right?
I'll do it tomorrow
Or should I stream it tonight 
Yeah, ends Sunday
I've done it twice, but forgot I couldn't use Dusa at the end and technically failed it
Lol F
Wouldn't get on the HoF twice anyway, so ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Aspect of Chiron + Relentless Volley + Artemis' Support Fire = crap load of arrows
Also does anyone know why I my 2 victories using Shield didn't register?
No, but you should
that
god mode?
Nah, all of my victories are done in normal
@tacit blaze already did that. The same thing happens in the work room, the one where you can check how many times you have won with what weapons. My shield didn't appear there.
Yeah, no idea what's going on there
Hopefully the QA team can figure something out from your report
Since it clearly says 4 total but only shows two
First clear! 
Nice!
I had the craziest run
do you guys ever get the perfect boons and go damn ill never get a run like this again
beowulf, poseidon cast with crit from deadly reversal and +3 shots from mirage shot
didnt lose a single death defiance aaaah this was amazing
what happened to your right info panel?
likely just opened up the boon menu after closing the victory screen
ahh right
yep that
this run was just... bonkers.
nice!
first time beating the game, lighting on zeus' shield is nuts
nicely done!
thank you sir
first run gamer
woohoo!
not featured: the +900% damage to armor on dash strike. Lambent plume OP
nice!!
got him again!
congrats!
now I'm going through with the bow though, I'm bad at that one. I'll do my best though
Well, now I'm going to bed, but when I resume
zagreus is real backstabber
delicious stabbed back
First completion!
Nicely done!
@terse reef How about now. Used all my Chtonic Companion charges this time.
Also @dreamy heart , I did it a 2nd time
Woohoo!!
I'm the best Hestia player.
https://imgur.com/a/z4Km9ob
Okay now I see Cold Embrace. I had fun with this. TOO much fun as I got very reckless with Redacted hahahaha
this was a fun tank build i just ran thru -- just stood in front of hades the whole fight and only used 1 DD right at the end fight =P
i felt like this build was sort of toxic (i know it's not that great but i just spammed festive fog cast lmao)
i'd literally burst opponents shields down because of it
@terse reef I had the most prefect run ever for the challenge, but then I forgot to use my last summon use and it all went to waste. I've been trying this for 4 days straight now. Please send help
@terse reef I made it :3 sorry Volty xD
I also have vid that I will ping you later
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1343712298672785895/77E18F8F9D9989AEAFC7DE335939505797AD7CCA/ I call this one "I'm Gonna Sing The Doom Song"
Woohoo!!!!
So many first clears today lol.
Right? It's really cool
I'm new can I post my first clear, too?
Merc End Impending Doom ๐
What heat did you use?
just more guys attacking me
also 3 HP โค๏ธ
yeah dude
Duo boons are so kreygasm
My first victory archived ๐
2 duos and a legendary
PogChamp
Someone got some nice relatives
Holy crap, is unshakable mettle from poseidon and athena?
Yep
Sounds op
The most OP one I think was
The Lifesteal blade + that Demeter blessing that increases healing received
Cursed Blade its called I think
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
I love that one!
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
To me depends, sometimes I like to start with an specific God
For example I love Ares + Doom on the Bow Q
So spammy
ooh yeah, i think the last run i posted had that
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
I cannot live witouth the "nearly miss" dash upgrade that gives you dmg on last second dodges
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
I love Athenea Aid
if you haven't experienced it yet, the adamant rail with 5x special and rockets is incredible
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
I want to try the fists more, they seem cool
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
i've only ever played whatever weapon currently has dark thirst on (except in the beginning if it was locked)
Same
Guys not to be that guy, but please chat bout builds and abilities in #h1-builds-and-combat
My 50th escape attempt!
set a time record today! 
48 heat cleared with the sword after god knows how many attempts https://imgur.com/a/cKVAzU8
Recorded run this time, in #self-promotion
nice!
Embarrassing how bad i played in the hades fight though even with such good rng
48 heat
"How bad I played"
Me looking at my weapons that can only hold 1 Heat
No really when you get the worst rng you play the best but when you get good rng hubris takes over and you play terrible
That's indeed an existing bias for humans
The better the conditions the lower the caution and dedication
yay
Turns out the key to victory is DODGING EVERYTHING
Lifesteal sounds op and cheesy, but reduced hp
![]()
Ignore me, I was bad, lifesteal is totally busted
Finally I beat it (attempt number 29).
2 days to done the game first time LUL
When a plan comes all together~
a real spin2win build, thanks anvil
Oof
finally made 42 zzz
before you ask this is not my save, just a seed that I used for piercing fire
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.
I didn't screencap my first clear, so here's the second. It was pretty much accidental, I entered with just one death defiance left and never expected to win lol
0 heat for hit a 10 wins streak
1st time fighting (and beating) Charon. Also, Excal is nuts.
Chiron Bow OP
Was able to get my first Adamant Rail clear. ๐ Apparently I can't live without Athenas Aid. lol X3 Also I didn't use a Death Defiance.
there's just something about blizzard shot that really makes my day
This might help: #h1-builds-and-combat message
Oh, I know the requirements, but rng is what screws with me
I even have the 10% for legendary/duos if possible
This thing took so many tries, never again! But man did it feel good to pull a win with a melee Hades build!
Noice
Explosive Launcher helped here and there, but Serrated Point did most of the hard work
Do you have vid?
Unfortunately no
buff build
Well good run nonetheless
Thanks
the anvil I picked up nearly ruined it but I pulled though in the end
screw heavy knuckle
screw heavy knuckle
You are not the only one
Don't lol
What does touhou mean?
Touhou is bullethell game so mmm
Got my first 20 heat with the shield. 
Did I have enough god boons? https://i.imgur.com/MOVW6F5.jpg
I've never seen a 5th column of boons. That's sweet.
They just kept coming! So I thought I would see how many I could get. xD
I am so pumped, Aspect of Hera and Ares cast is so gooooood
trash build, shout out to skelly
Tried the speedrun pact of punishment thing and as a result made Hermes proud with my cleartime!
congrats on the sub 20min run!
YAY
dang, what a screenshot
16 rupture ๐
if you had blizzard shot it would've been over
oh my god yes
You can't have Blizzard Shot with Beowulf afaik
ah i didn't catch that
Yes you can
For some reason, it's one of the few duos that works with beo
odd that it's called "flood shot" and not "flood flare"
maybe like flood surge or splash or something
It's nothing fancy, but it was super fun to run through this one!
shooting one thing over and over to kill everything
winter harvest is so good
yeah its so crazy with the artemis aid as well just so much burst damage
Local swordsman protagonist finds 3 anime girls and breaks 32 heat
Well, there are the OP runs and then there are runs like these. Chaos aspect really is something.
And really all boons worked together, not only the highlighted ones.
That clear time, though. 
Call me Olympus matchmaker cause I got duos
Holy Aphrodite
I didnt even realize how many duos I had till it was finished lol
It was really funny to see Hades charmed during the fight lol
That's the best
yeah the perma charm boon is funny :p
@terse reef I did it! There's no recording, so you have to take my good word for it. Very interesting challenge - and that Membership card really made all the difference
Nice, congrats!
I have no idea how I actually managed to win this awful run
didnt even have a proper attack until styx
first pierced butterfly run ever (the keepsake was at 1.5%/clear during the2 first floors)
i had a godlike rng with that build, i could have done way better in asphodel and the final floor
the hidden aspect of the rail is so much fun, definitly top 2 with ||arthur||
good job mate
This aspect is beast
Cold Fusion description is so innocent for what it's truly capable of.
After a ton of runs dying at Elysium on a 9 minutes deadline and a disgusting golden run that was stopped by a 5 doors RNG at Styx, I decided to experiment with no tight DL and +60% jury summon to see if I could make it with Guan Yu.
That run is pretty lucky because I fi...
sick
I GOT MY FIRST HADES KILL
You out-speared him. Congratulations!
@terse reef Got the challenge ^.^ Video will be on the way shortly (also my first time actually winning with GY without Quick Spin)
second guan yu run ever, after the first ended on the shifting witch miniboss in tartarus lol
nice!
Now add some heat and do that again :D
@terse reef Challenge complete, I also have a video to go with it. When I figure out where I'm going to put it and it is up I'll ping you in the other channel.
I'm increasing heat no more than needed to get bounty. But ever since I got companion and the new weapon upgrades I just can't seem to lose? (higher heat get noticable harder while I can't get any stronger, but it just felt like companion added a huuuuuuge powerspike.)
So, uhh, Mr. Final Boss, Sir. You want to be friends? Yes? Wonderful. Stop attacking me. @lime bane
3 heroic boons (thanks rare crop/an exchange) and I got Sweet Nectar before Eurydice :D
damn, that's nice
i like how quick favor does next to nothing compared to smoldering air lol
makes sense
i wonder how much more it'd give as heroic
I said I'd do it.
schpoon did it boys
Now unless I get another chip on my shoulder that should be my last ever 32 Heat run.
I can't imagine Malphon's 4th Aspect lighting a fire underneath me like Lucy did (mostly because it's friggin' Lucifer using a Prothean Particle Rifle).
consider: laser fists
I'm increasing heat no more than needed to get bounty. But ever since I got companion and the new weapon upgrades I just can't seem to lose? (higher heat get noticable harder while I can't get any stronger, but it just felt like companion added a huuuuuuge powerspike.)
I'll give you 30 keys and 20 ambrosia for your sisyphus companion
I want shady so bad
level 13!!
4x32, nearly there
Probably would have been easier if I remembered to equip Meg instead of Sisyphus... or if I remembered to use my extra, purchased use of my companion to use Sisyphus on Hades.
Honestly, this game would be a lot easier if I was any good at it
Was finally able to get a streak going and used all the mirror powers at least once for the fate with my first spear and fist clears. (In that order.) Attempt 41.
Congrats!
First fist clear attempt 42. The build was bad, and I hate only having one dash, but somehow got through it since I didn't have, nor will ever use again, Stubborn Defiance
dio's call is legitimately one of the best out there, yeah
I am speed. I am speed. I am speed. I am speed.
not even gods can beat the dreaded hangover
I think this might be my first Achilles aspect clear as it's always been GY or Hades. Also first time playing in a few days, got a bit rusty with my Hades timings LUL
It took me 256 tries to finally beat Hades and funny enough I did it twice in a row. This was quite painful so just wondering if people have struggled as well? Seeing some of your screenshots - just wow!
The chill dash + weak special + duo boon + normal attack was really powerful
Finally cleared 32 heat with rama bow, i was gunning for low tolerance as well but got splitting headache atleast https://imgur.com/a/F3iwKyD
quick little 40 heat win with the chaos shield https://imgur.com/a/qvnyt0u
Fastest full clear run ive had so far, the lucifer aspect with Poseidon attack + Zeus duo is pretty crazy.
@terse reef Weekly challenge completed.
Hestia on it's own was easily good enough to carry that.
Lol, 4 charges of your companion still
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 ๐ฆ
On the plus side it did allow me to complete the Prophecy that requires you to purchase every Well item at least once lmao
Ayy, another Guan Yu run!
This one felt good
Nice!
Well... That was easy
decided to get the first skelly trinket; can't believe i actually got through. i got none of the boons i wanted, highly regretted getting the self-focusing cast boon (with both pools of purging i found afterwards not offering it...), and lost a defiance before even reaching hades. and yet, through endless dodging and little specials, i managed to complete my slowest clear yet lol
Holy, 77 minutes??
the patience of a saint
yeah, the +60% foes didn't help my timer lol
Not a fan of Serrated Point, but those are the chances you take with the RNG Anvil.
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.
https://i.imgur.com/3m3Qnbx.jpg
@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. Personally I wouldn't blame that on the challenge however. Regardless, this challenge does somewhat highlight bad runs while feeling relatively unpunishing on average to great runs.
managed to get this silly build with approval process on and wanted to share
5x32
One more! And I left bow for last because it's contingent on Twin Shot Hammers which is not great
My call was the Hangover lol
First clear at Heat 16 also ended up as my second Perfect Clear, thanks to Athena dash, attack, and cast!
๐
75 heat wow
I like money
That's a smol wallet for someone with hoarding slash
@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!
Video is processing, but I'll add a link once it's done Here's the video https://youtu.be/iojGMqB0i3k
@silver hinge Cleared out the shop in Styx, that was the leftover
first time using nemesis
and this was first time using talos
reduced choices from boons is really something else
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!
What are the pins on the boons for? Just for showing off?
yes, for screenshotting
the ones you pin, are the ones that show in the middle
longest run ive ever had
HELTH
Damn this was a really insane run, got so many skips that it got me 9 min clear with the sword https://imgur.com/a/GdXx6Dq
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
Skips are just NPC chambers, Chaos Gates, Charon's Shop, and the Thanatos encounter.
That... makes a frightening amount of sense actually
I will admit, Rama bow is hilariously fun.
@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
@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.
A good tip for blade is dash attack, dash attack, special with nemesis aspect, and you never goddamn stop
Sounds about right
Try to snipe artemis dash and any high multiplier strike (or artemis attack)
and watch the game melt in 15 minutes
I think my fastest run is 11 minutes with nemesis Blade (on an old save).
So yeah. Fo sho.
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
@gritty dust thank you a lot for a tips, didn't know about dash > nova
Both are really fun, and i didnt like blade either before i started doing these
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.
You should move these discussions to #h1-builds-and-combat. 
Yeah I should
Woops, sorry
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.
So, Theseus' fears about Asterius turning against him weren't unreasonable 
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?"
That is a F10 is what it is. 
This channel is for victory screens only, but please report that bug with F10! @winged dragon
Close call ! Congrats
Blitz Shield Explosive Return I had a lot of fun with
Also I had the Legendary Charm very early
'tis finally done, first 32 win. Turned out a bit spicier against ol' daddy-o than I thought it'd be, lost all three DDs on his second phase, but it worked out in the end. Thank you, Poseidon Call, you REALLY saved my hide.
Oh very nice. So Poseidon Call can be good in the right hands. gz on 32
Chaos shield with Zeus special, yeah.
Basically a machine gun that shoots lightning. I could barely see in Styx rooms because of all the bolts!
YESSSSSSSS
thanks aurelian
i just ape'd your build but you know what i don't even care
Hey, congratz man! Very well done! I see you picked slightly different heat options to avoid TD2?
TD2 ?
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.
Although i'm really starting to see how hard 41 must be
You run out of options for "manageable" heat
It's raining men bombs

triple bomb is so fun
Most fun i've had with the rail was rocket bomb and cluster bomb, i recommend trying for that if you can ๐
It's also close to most fun i've had in the game, i think
im really liking aproval process full
to force variety
although it can screw you really bad
Penta-Defiance? Also Lifesteal is OP
This is my first double digit heat run, and first time getting demeter legendary, can say I really like demeter legendary just for when it procs on bosses shell have a voice line (even if i only got to really use it on the final boss)
her cast feels a bit jank though
but thats mainly cuz i didnt get glacial glare until really late into the run
First time trying AP2, still not entirely sure how I actually won, with barely any real DPS
tatz would be happy
First time doing TD2, was really fun
nice!
๐ฐ If ๐ฐ only ๐ฐ I ๐ฐ had ๐ฐ Hoarding ๐ฐ Slash ๐ฐ
( @jaunty hedge )
Lol jesus why did you not just buy at shops
didn't feel like it
Such a waste of so much cash
I'm sure Charon is happy
first 16 heat run attempt!
So uh....even more money?!?!?! Dealing over 800 damage per Thrust, with a pretty high crit chance
??
approval process is fun
try it at high heat and i assure you it will no longer be fun
yeah i can see that being a problem lmao
Now onto EM3 with the Fists.
100% dodge chance is fun ๐
It's fiiiiine
Got quite lucky with chaos boons, im getting closer to sub 8 minutes with the sword with every try https://imgur.com/a/qhaHJ8a
Hoping for like a fountain every biome
and thanatos in elysium
that would be nice
Any fries with that ? :p
I should try and get the save manager, yeah
and that takes forever
But :effort:
Probably shoulda tried this before the blood price update since the well of charon pool wasnt so big and you could exploit fated persuasion to get a dozen chaos gates
And first EM3 win. I lost 3DD's and none of them were to the Final Boss :p
Also first time defeating ||Charon|| thanks to the Shield.
Loving the increase in nemesis play recently
it does combo quite well with artemis
Also works quite well with the high damage gods like aphrodite, demeter, athena etc
How to do 2000 damage with Hestia Rail: A Guide
also is it rare to find 2 chaos boons with identical benefit stats?
looks like a bug
you can only have one boon bound to your attack/special/cast/call
^
You definitely can find multiple chaos boons that buff the same thing
They are practically tier 2 boons so it makes sense for them to affect similar stats with no trouble
Had the boon where my call was capped at 25% and then the Aphrodite and Zeus duo + more dmg buff from call and more call generation. Had almost perma invincibility against Hades.
i finally beat hades after meeting him for like the 10th time and with a pretty terrible build to boot
Congratulations !
Ayy, also your 10th clear!
Yup!
@spring herald Oh, nice one dude!
Finally got every weapon to below 15mins. I can rest in peace now
Nice!!
You can get several chaos boons attached to a thing
@ornate hollow Yeah what I mean is that you can't get a "main" boon that applies to your attack like he has on his screeen
Like, you can't get Heartbreak Strike and Atrophic Strike at the same time
atrophic strike is a chaos boon.
No worries ๐
:p
somehow I thought it as poseidon boon
blue color got me there ๐
that being said, I didn't know you could get the same chaos boon twice!
Rigorously the same is pretty uncommon, but it happens !
so the aspect of arthur is fun
I told Zagreus to reach the surface with an egg and he ACTUALLY DID IT!! ๐คฃ WHAT A MAD LAD!!!
i dont like the spear ;-;
||Rama|| bow with heroic attack, special and dash. Rare crop is OP af.
second lucifer run; first clear. zeus attack + support fire is pretty disgusting lmao
nice
ooh, a duo triangle of artemis-athena-dionysus?
I never thought I would actively go after Lightning Phalanx but there we were. Greater Recall and Snap Nova would have made this build perfect.
first sub 15 min for that Hermes title!
Still got there! :D
My hands hurt after this... so much button mashing
congratz!
Oop, gz Oli!
ayy, that's all 6 now!
Nemesis
Snap Nova
first win
congratz dude!
XD this was a surprise for me because i was looking for pulverising but then i choose power rush bc best thing there and found the charged shot
nice!
i mde an canon uzi build on heat 9! ๐
also tried to get the zeus/poseidon duo boon but never got a good poseidon boon lmao
the attack speed + hold for flurry + 3x spread + charm enhancement for weak...so darn fun. easiest run yet
30:19 from the time the file was created, to the final blow.
My first clear with Guan Yu, also happened to be my first hunting blades win. Got Exclusive access in Tartarus very very early on. my 3rd boon.
It aint stupid if it works
true that
LETS GO
Your Attack is stronger and In my fathers name xD
lmao
Without dying NICEE
Finally the perfect Artemis cast build
Not high heat but popping off so many giant lightning bombs was pretty fun 
Nice!
Close one!
So hot build that Hades didn't stand a chance 
Is that a new account or did you really jump to 40 heat essentially immediately?
That's my first time playing, I just really wanted to rush into the forge 
46 hours in rn
What a mad lad xD
Respect, dude. Seriously.
thatโs honestly really impressive
To be fair, there was a ton I have learned from the community without going through the struggle of learning (like aphro being perfect attack for nemesis, SD being mvp on higher heat, etc.), but a lot of effort as well. Thank yall kindly :o
finally had a decent bow run. basically a machine gun, each shot doing 200 damage and the attack speed came close to that of the gun
Just had my first Victory! Honestly, felt like an unoptimized build with boons from 5 gods. Ended up focusing on Artemis' Call with dodge boost from that. Had all revives going into Hades fight, and didn't start to lose them until phase 2. I believe this was about run 38
congrats!

I call this build "Stop moving"
(I also had three death defiance related boons but those aren't important right now)
Holy shmeckels that was close
one step closer to that heat 20 run
very much unlike world splitter 
I play with approval process so unoptimized builds is all i do ๐คฃ๐คฃ
200 blood puddle cutscenes ๐
man, I cant wait to start a new game in hell mode once 1.0 comes out
I always have trouble with non special builds of ||rama||, but this one got there so I'm happy.
This ||lucifer|| aspect is just crazy!
@marble dust lucifer is a lot of fun! especially with support fire
Nice! only missing Mirage Shot from the gods you have.
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1456302834699053864/1DDB60A2E294FE55ABBD6489F0572FF37DB945EB/
Well, that's not as impressive as Duo screenshot above. But... I've missed DPS meter on that build. In combination with deflect and spear... well, that was just destruction of Lord Hades.
Took a little time off from banging my head against 32 bow to try to do 32 fists without Athena. Took me a bit, and definitely lost some easy wins on god-runs before this, but it's done!
Going through all the heat levels for each weapon in a row! So far really enjoying the game, excited for high heat. Might start skipping around more once I get the story stuff I'm working on done.
Thanks Lord Dionysus
the lack of black out makes me sad
it showed a few times, but approval process said no
this was an absolute stomp
Damn this was a really fast 40 heat run with the fists https://imgur.com/a/DCwo1kC
first win without losing death defiance in a while
Nice!
first run EM3, with approval process ๐
Decent blade rift run with Poseidon's aspect (also +2 casts from Chaos)
imagine if you had had hunting blades with that :o
Before seeing an actual run with it I thought it only strikes for 50 per deflection, not actual doom from base boon + 50 
lol without that combo damage ME is still busted xD
i'll shar my lame victory because it was my first and was special hahah. too bad it was not for a proper ending
Still, congrats!
thanks
finally got to try charged flight with beowulf 
bonk
hit the bounty limit on the bow ๐
woo! cheesed the Heroes fight a bit by waiting for the aid to fill up with Quick Favor hehe. The aid really helped with the mobs during Redacted's first phase.
I got to Redacted 5 or 6 times with Rama but it's just too slow..
And with that it is finally done. 6x32.
When I first joined this discord @clever marsh was just completing their 6x32, and referencing @proper barn 's prior success. I'm eager to see who picks up the torch next.
Well, finally tried 32 heat. First attempt: Did great, until it took 5 attempts to find the Satyr Sack. Got the final boss to ||his second form|| but still lost due to time.
Second attempt: Did great, until it took 5 attempts to find the Satyr Sack. Got the final boss to <50% HP ||on the second form|| but still lost due to time.
Third attempt: Did great, found the Satyr Sack on the second room. Won! I had no damage but good defensive boons so it took a while. Success!
I would like to call this the perfected Pinball build
first time TD1, i think i still prefer taking it slow
though this aspect is known to be slower
@solar robin that's beautiful
And nice job Ferrous!
Dash only build. Not my fastest, but honestly not that hard of a final fight (video of the final boss fight in #self-promotion )
@lime bane
If you really want good times, zag sword, fast plume, and FO2
Me: I feel like I'm hitting a wall with the sword that I wasn't with the shield.
Stygius: What's a wall?
farming materials for story stuff slowly but surely! had an awesome run just now!!
only put 16 hours into the game and won twice on the same few hours after the first but i loved my first win build. lifesteal ๐
40 heat with the rama bow must say you really need the dmg hammers because I died several times because of low dps https://imgur.com/a/BMFuopq
finally came around to doing 32 heat, was a fun one
WORLD RECORD!!! ๐ธ๐ฝ
not world record - 4 heat - 11 special arrows and 3 duo boons - 45 minutes
@terse reef Challenge done.
Let's just say escalalting from 4 to 10 heat straightaway wasn't the best idea, but it took a couple of runs. Still not used to EM3
still can't believe one of my filthiest runs was not only done with one of my least liked aspect but also that I beat my speed record with it without paying attention to it
After grinding forever to get Dionysus' legendary boon I managed to get Aphrodite's legendary and a duo boon on top of that... we partying tonight bois 
I think it's time for me as well to join the 32 Heat club.
First time beating 32, on Guan Yu of all weapons! Doing it with the Rail or the Shield just didn't feel like it.
How i learned to love Flood shot, also, Smouldering Air gang 4 life
Sneak Peek: Fast Eris ;)
https://imgur.com/a/Wgr7uT8
Arthur sword and Athena made it a walk in the park
Basically became invincible against redacted with a "no u" button on call
Didn't intend this to be a speed run but here we are
So uh... @terse reef @heady portal This was intended to be a practice run before I actually went for it but, well...I did it xD Weekly challenge #7 :3
I didn't expect to actually use this run, so I only have a recording of the final fight, but I'll probably still upload that at some point
Only saw a single Hermes room, but I managed to buy one of his boons in Tartarus
Edit: Also +1.1% on that Plume :3 I beat the final boss under time xD
Was hoping to be the first, but Swan snuck in just before I did. This was a hard one for me, but glad I pulled through. HWC #7 complete @terse reef
I'll post the video once it processes to YT Video is in #self-promotion
https://imgur.com/3dnGul3 thank you game for deciding that I should win this run
After a couple of 32 heat attempts I got it and now I am exhausted.
Congrats!
After a lot of failed Excalibur runs today, gave up, switched to Nemesis, and the game threw me a bone. Surprised the time is so long, but it was a 4 stack Styx, and I don't play particularly fast, even if I want to.
ty congrats on the weekly challenge I look forward to watching it once I finish mine. @tacit blaze
"19 minutes"
"slow"
๐ looks at my new 20 minute record >:3
(I tease, dw)
Even when I'm watching people do it I have no idea how people hit sub 10 minute times
Lots of animation cancels and every free room you can manage
just trying to complete prophecies and i got both Ares and Demeters Legendaries.... Demeter's Legendary animation is soooo good i love it
I thought the sword was my worst weapon until I met the aspect of Arthur. I just facetanked everything. I really owe this victory to Bouldy, tho
Discord, you're overreacting
Are you saying you don't properly appreciate Bouldy?
No, I do! for real though, I haven't used any other companion in ages
Shady may not be optimal, but I like using it
okay now I'm really confused also this is the last one mods I promise
finally cleared a heat 16 run and seeking validation
nicely done ^.^
validation acquired thank u
Great job !
401% backstab bonus damage๐ค
wanted to see how far i went without boons
had to take a hermes by styx that i couldnt purge but oh well
Wow. Your shackles weren't even at three stars yet.
it started at 1, i was meaning to rank it up
@lunar peak congrats ^.^
thx !
Recorded my first 41h, with Rama ๐ (video linked). Sorry about the pauses and horrible audio, I need to figure out how to capture audio not quite so terribly.
My first 41 heat run! Sorry for the long pauses, I had to stop several times to address work stuff.
https://gyazo.com/e77c3b14e1df35a4bd13b9dc36fe80d9 Don't usually post here, but we did the blindfolded run with haelian's help. Oh god

yeah it's happening
hopefully it's as painful for you to watch as it was for me to play
first try baby
Nice!!!
only the most epic of gaming
incredible
Just to make sure, how do you even find directions with that? That's insane man
I had a guide @dense spindle but it was still crazy
Ah, guiding. I almost was afraid you had to check every corner for exits and stuff 
now that would've been madness
Definitely. Yuck...
@terse reef Done with this weeks challenge.
Woohoo! Nicely done
Was going for sub-20 minutes, ended up also having a no-hit Hades fight (Acorn still have 2 uses left)
Two Duos + Three Legendaries = The Big Five-Oh
I took the Huge Catch in Styx because I COULD.
Record clear time no less
๐โโ๏ธ
I also got a time record, for bow that is puts away 0 heat Well... hey, at least the bow dealt actual damage now, with all that gear 
Well done either way, 0 or 41 heat
no sweat
very cool and intense
Zag is officially god of clutch now
@terse reef Took me a few tries to meet the conditions but finally done with this week's challenge! (sorry for double screencaps, i forgot to include Plume in the first one). I got super lucky and picked up 2 +coin boons from chaos by asphodel. [plus a bonus Huge Catch randomly in Styx]
#2 showing plume stacks
what are weekly challenges and where do i found out what they are?
check the pins in #h1-builds-and-combat or here: https://www.hades-fansite.com/
Hades Fansite is a fan-made website for this great game made by Supergiant Games. It has info about weekly challenges made by the community.
@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.
Probably just holding onto steady roots, heh
GG btw 
Anybody ever watch the Something About series? That's what playing this felt like
@terse reef
A ruthless reflex user. I like that
Got the best of both worlds, +2 dash from hermes in Charon's shop
Definitely wouldn't have won without it
I also got a combination of hammers and boons that made the dash strike absolutely ludicrous, about 300 damage per strike
greatest reflex is definitely one of my favorite boons
wanted to share this run, it was my first try with arthur aspect. That was.. easy, crits gone wild, thx to hermes for fasten my attack speed. (sry in not in english)
First clear without ever using a death defiance. I can't even imagine how people do runs with the other mirror option.
I guess 'Minotaur's Toughness' is for having over 400 hp
5 heat victory without using death defiance
for the shield of chaos, the best is dash-strike. Special is the 2nd best. Bull Rush is quite slow IMO.
Depends. Bull Rush can be great. But moostly in order to proc Shield of Chaos I think.
I was at more danger of dying from the pots than from Papa himself. That's how I lost the SD. Plus I had the rare occasion where I killed the Champions simultaneously.
Now to escalate straight to 32.
@terse reef
Challenge complete! Turned out to be a speedrun for me as well.
First win! Destroyed Hades with his spear! (I got absolutely carried by Chaos's boon)
50th clear and smashed my time record, Excalibur special spamming
Achilles Spear is so good. Zeus cast, 400+ damage per hit with it. Shredded everything.
||Tiny Vermin||:
||Redacted||:
Two in a row! It was SUCH a close call
nice
Daaamn, well done
wait, you can get close enough to redacted while he's doing his laser attack to not get hit at all??
Yeah. Have to be real close though, but there is a small blindspot
that's very good to know
yupp, I found it out by accident at some point
Managed to beat Hades with the Gun weapon! Yes!
Congrats!
@terse reef Randomly stumbled upon the challenge. Managed to get this high move speed set after a couple of tries. Good Fun!
Man, this was an unfortunate introduction too 16+ heat but with enough hangover and dodge you can achieve anything
Nicely done!
thanks ๐
lil' flex: just did my first double kill on theseus and asterius. Fight lasted less than a minute
and I only did it because I'm tired of theseus and his stupid ugly mug.
I swear to God if I hear the word "blackguard" one more time..
how the
||Aspect of Arthur, Shadow Slash hammer upgrade, Pressure Points boon + Cyclops Jerky Select from Pat and a lot of backstab damage.||
๐
Nice :D
holy moly
heroic Divine Dash isn't that much impressive but hey, I'll take it
This run was disgusting, Chaos shield with zeus special. Had Zeus/Dio duo and Poseidon/Zeus Duo and Zeus legendary. Everything that wasnt a boss got one shot and hades took under a minute to die 
first timer!
I did it for the story...
An insanely fun build, great Ares' Blade Rift synergy
dayuum

Tell me what I'm looking at.
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
yup
yup, so no shrouded
and try to take as many non standard encounters as possible
your main source of chaos would be miniboss rooms
and even then, assuming your first curse is 4 rooms, you could take an additional 3 curses
oh, rip
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?

BEAUTIFUL
Ugh, should I get on the FP train?
I've been a diehard Authoritarian since launchnooope.
we can be authority bros
Possibly the worst joke in its context I've ever made, but we're starting to get off-topic.
Man... i cant belive i survived this
the lack of boons scare me
Imagine walking into Hades with these boons. I was sweating bricks
Looks fine to me. 
216 dmg a throw isn't alot the MVP was definitely different league
Bouldy believed in you, and that's all that matters.
@terse reef Challenge completed!
This build wasn't too much cohesive, I tried to get Artemis/Poseidon duo but that didn't happen.
Plus, just a small flex, courtesy of me being miserly and Golden touch coming through.
@hollow lake Much flexing
Gotta flex them olobs
This was fun
@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 
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..
Here's my Weekly Challenge run; not as fun as when I was testing the challenge but still nice ๐ 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
