@dim pulsar yeah, I also had artemis speical to follow up with but doom probably did most of the work
nice
Not the most amazing run, but I had fun trying out Hera and got to play with all the cool Trippy Fog stuff. I was really hoping to get under 20 for the first time but got unlucky with Styx and Hades disappearing a lot.
Thank you @lime bane for inspiring the high heat community to one up her achievement. Seeded runs are so last patch.

First run with the new fists and first EM4 clear:
Slicing Shot is busted
Presses Cast, Presses Cast, Presses Cast, Presses Cast, Presses Cast, Presses Cast, Presses Cast, Presses Cast, Presses Ca....
Hopefully you had flurry cast π
nope
No, but it worked out so the first cast was off cooldown by the time the last one was fired.
EZ 10th victory 
@stoic pulsar how did you get a 7:30 run??!
a really lucky achilles spear run with electric shot (got nerfed slightly in 1.0)
Claws 32 heat. it was so intens. specialy with unchained dad with +20% speed .but Demeter+athena save my day.

Heat 6, on 8th consecutive win O_O
for when you need a good laugh
this was funny π
Sword is good
Bow OP
Fun shield run 
first 32 heat by far!
Gonna try sub 20 with all weps I think
highest risk highest reward
Sorry for the language but my first kill!
First try Adamant win woooo
Sry for Russian, but I was doing 1200+ dmg per throw with my cast lol
Just beat EM4
3 more sub 20s to go 
very nice, these times are quite good
Finally cleared with the bow! Still had difficulty with it and had to burn through all my defiances though lol 
friendship with chaos ended, now ||beowulf|| is my best friend
"kill my dad with a shotgun"
it charged so damn slow but even with just tap-firing it was chunking him for up to 800 damage a shot
Has someone made a key for the heat conditions on the victory screen?
You can highlight them in-game and it will tell you what they are.
Yeah I just havenβt memorized them and it would be handy when viewing these posts.
Guess I need to go kill a particular someone 
it's in the same order as the list pinned in #h1-high-heat-strategies
seeing a lot of kill screen's health at 225+, maybe I need to be getting more centaur hearts as i go in at about 175health
or consider getting more for higher heat as i go at least
i had everything line up for this run pretty much lol
i was deflecting everything doing so much dmg
love the shield
Finally did my first 32 heat. Felt like I was cheating it, cause I didn't take EM4, but still satisfying
Grats! @glossy sandal
Best duo/legendary luck I've gotten
Wish I didn't take bouldy over meg and bad keepsakes just to level em haha, could have sub 16'd by tryharding probably
just built whatever. whats really funny was i got artemis legendary and forgot my RMB was broken for now
just bow and rail left now
FIRST TIME BEATING LVL 4 EXTREME MEASURES! OMG
first victory! π
congrats!!
My first win as well!
And since the bugs with that are now fixed... that one's done too.
most absurdly strong build i've had so far i think
I killed hades in a minute 15s, but probably couldve done better. insane build
So far the best loadout for aspect of Chiron I found
oh huh all purples
New file. This is the 4th run
It got down to the wire, but I managed to do it. If only for the absolutely insane combo of charged volley and deadly flourish
First win. Let's go
Well, that was fairly brutal for good ol' daddy-o.
My first victory 
0 death defiances for last boss and some really weird build
Jesus I didn't realize you could actually build Excalibur face tank this hard.
How is some of youβs victory screens are custom, is there a way to buy a theme? 

they are very expensive though
If anyone knows the precise amount please @ me, I really want to unlock one I learned ty!
i dont know if this is good for guan yu but i barely did it
Managing to get the Loyalty Card for the first time during this run helped a lot!
First sub 20 run!
Still sad that the victory screenshot didn't save. How I did this beats me, I'm absolutely exhausted and ready to go to bed
First heat clear, first fist clear and first sub 30 as well!
ez clear but my finish page is overlapping with the right side.. janky
Tiny Vermin got clapped in four volleys. That was bordering on unfair.
@analog halo run complete, can confirm this was a very fun build. Doom + lightning autoproccing with curse of vengence for ~1k dmg every 3 seconds with privileged status/jolted /impending doom stacking together.
Then 2x ares cast with Artemis duo + triple bomb special the rest of the time, never even had time to use the regular attack https://i.imgur.com/4gHk9rw.jpeg
also, yay https://i.imgur.com/iYnin4u.png
Did this run to clear the prophecy of finishing with every mirror ability. Holy Excalibur is an absolutely broken weapon on its own already, but with Athena's boons? Hooo boy
50 runs, 20 wins, 9 win streak.
16 runs to my first victory on my new save. Early Access player since 2018. This game rules.
umm so I just PBd
You canβt lose if the opponent canβt deal damage
God this was so good
First ever perfect clear with 2 uses of acorn left
Won on my first try of the βwin with every mirror talentβ prophecy
Chiron bow might just be my fav aspect in the game
Heart rend crit build so strong
Had 3 dashes, relentless volley, and twin shot
Honestly family favorite might just be better than priv status, idk
its a new best time for me. Hype!
Holy crap, finally hit that 32 heat
Progressing well is impressive
It took me a long while to hit sub 20 minute runs (which stopped happening when I hit em4)
Chthonic theme is my favorite theme confirmed
@digital ocean hello, how long did it take you to do 49/49 achievements ? did you do them in early access ?
they weren't available during early access, but many of them were gotten retroactively if you had played in early access
that's my question worded differently, yes
second victory on a doom build out of my 3 victories im loving doom!
@fiery tendon i have ~175 escape attempts, 115 clears. Iβd say ~80% of them were done in early access. I had maxed out all relationships/keepsakes/prophecies etc prior to release, so all that was left was the new 1.0 content. Iβd imagine if I would do a fresh save I could do 49/49 achivements in far less time/number of runs
sub 12

dat 4 bonus damage from Hoarding Slash
yuge
that damage was like unironically more useful than the other hammers I had
Yeah, unfortunately I didn't get the aphrodite duo
I also could have gotten 6 different gods which I didn't know was possible
(without keepsake shenanigans)
heroics from Demeter?
first extreme measures 4 run got 4 chaos boons and still had no dds and 6 hp left
I don't know how I did it, but I finally did it with the bow
@finite cove Yeah, and Eurydice
Very nice
Congratz dude! First of many!
Just finished winning with each weapon, and incidentally got to the credit screen. π
Hey just joined the server! Wanted to share this stupid fast EM final boss kill. Super lucky chiron bow Artemis special build https://www.reddit.com/r/HadesTheGame/comments/j4k1bm/insanely_powerful_chiron_bow_artemis_build_just/
finally got sword victory
Hoarding slash OP
only way to further improve would be flurry slash, damn
32 artur sword. with EM 4(angry dad).||moms ||keepsake from begining to end.
- kill charon
crits are strong
Got my first 32 heat win
Em4 first clear!
i killed lernie by dashing dis run
Rama-mama is my new religion 
first run with last spear aspect i think i like it
4 duo boons
In which I discover the Aspect of Hestia's sniper shot is preserved if you pick up Spread Fire
This one was fun. I must have collected over 2500 coins and didn't spend any of it until the last shop
Anyone have any idea what "Fisher King" refers to?
Caught 4+ Fish Fisher King
You must catch at least one legendary fish from any region (Tartarus, Asphodel, Elysium, Styx, Chaos)
Second clear. Fun bow build. Quadruple dash + Athena deflect dash is pretty great. Only 2 hp left π±
some of the best luck I've had in a run... til I get a 5 sac. Somehow managed to still beat dad and 41 heat is finally done!
First spear win (also last chamber on Styx...)
bruh this was SO good
My first victory, woohoo! Turret bloodstones OP.
new personal best
Ooh. I bet that one was so fun.
This one I just finished was wild (and my fastest run yet):
That'd have been spicy if you had zeus attack boon lol
I had a chance to get it early on, but I took the boon from Chaos that adds % damage to damage types unaffected by boons (because I needed it for the prophecy). Otherwise, I would have absolutely taken that.
I ended up taking a boon that buffed attack damage much later anyway :/
very, very nice!
Ye i got that in one of my previous runs too
@frank quiver yeah, it was a fun run. I was mainly looking for the last boon I needed from Poseidon (Rip Current), so I had his keepsake equipped on low heat.
@wispy ravine That's really fast. 15:52 is gonna be a tough one to beat
the real kicker is I didn't take a god's attack boon until act 4
hit Rush delivery really early and that plus twochaos attack boons was the damage
Wow...That's crazy, indeed!
were you taking mainly pom upgrades?
First kill
^^ nice . first complete gotta feel good
with bow too
tried sitting on Curse of Pain and Pom keepsake for all of act1 (didn't get other boons that Pom could hit) just to see how big we could get the Doom. Wouldn't recommend but was fun
man, thanatos, thats kinda cringe
My first win with the rail, second sub 20 win. Zeus is insanely OP with the rail
@coral mason Oooooh, yeah. I had a build similar to that with my first run in that aspect. That special is so strong. I set up a macro for the dash-special and just blitzed around every map. It's so fun.
@marble cobalt Nice. My wins with the rail have all been built around the special.
Rocket and cluster bomb are ridiculous, if I got close to someone I could tap Q and it'd do 1164 damage. My setup was supposed to be built around attack but I got the -1 +2 hammer thingy from Charon and my build turned into a hybrid build
This is my first run with 0 deaths (also on a 10-streak escape)!
only took me four days and countless tries for my 1st win 
@marble cobalt Exactly. It's so good. And if you can get Athena's Aid with that build, it's insane because you can just stand there and nuke everything with all 5 cluster bombs.
@candid flame Congratz!
I had athena's aid. Killed Hades' second phase in one greater call
Haha. Nice
Here's the data
Ooo, yeah, that's a wild build.
Full Arthur backstab build. Backstabs for over 1.2k damage on the third swing, also extra 30% attack speed from Hermes and 4 duos.
Parting shot gives 35% backstab damage not just for the cast, right?
Thats amazing
just posting for hilarious luck of these draws
@coral mason I had almost the same run, crit magnet uppercut with 2 +80% special chaos things, when I'd uppercut someone the total number would be like 1200
Thatβs some shocking luck indeed.
what an electric sight
super tanky build i was taking -20% dmg, 10% dodge chance, the shield every 20 sec. reflect on attack on dash, and zeus call was wrecking
First rail clear
behold the glorious hunting blades
sword is just a clunkier bow to hunt with
the fact that there aren't any early game prophecies that will grant you darkness hurts me
Best thing you can do to farm darkness is do runs with lower heat. You get like 400ish per run that way. If you get the poseidon boon that gives you more darkness you're off the the races
Oh my goooood I want Chiron with Piercing Volley.
yeah i have a fully completed normal mode save
Had a run earlier today with relentless and concentrated. It was nasty
oh lol
I got that on Zag Aspect.
Ahh fair. Fresh save is rough
add boiling blood and that literally nukes everything
I recorded the EM final boss fight. Down in less than 1.5 mins. It was ridiculous. Had stupid high crits
pretty good run despite taking an anvil for no good reason
uh somewhere around a thousand
i think the doom delay boon let me add more stacks in and then it also has the multiplier
might also have been mistaking a double-hit number for a single hit
Legendary and Duo galore
first win vs ||extreme measures hades||
charged shot is basically easy mode
i genuinely feel bad for the enemies once i got both hammers
the most powerful build I had so far. Special+attack+ cast alone demolished hades, and epic cast from demeter made it even worse for him. And chaos damage buffs for attack and special
i genuinely feel bad for the enemies once i got both hammers
@amber yacht I don't understand how to play with cluster bomb, too much visual noise. But I assume with rocket it don't have this problem?
Together with rocket bomb you just press your special button and most of what you have pointed it at will have evaporated.
Splitting Headache + Low Tolerance, the Eris rail dream.
that was with the 4th aspect shield with the pre-nerf Charged Flight.
1 hp left π
First trip to ||mom|| on hellmode coming up. Took like 9 Attempts to get here, and what a ride it has been.
first victory since leaving early access!
Hades can't even touch me 
nice
No life steal, no Acorn. That's very well done.
i do notice the poseidon call though
Poseidon is nothing, it was Athena's legendary boon, Divine protection I believe that makes this possible
true divine protection is great. Still, amazing job! Well done!
So, uhm, this just happened.
604 health and more damage reduction than I can count.
40%, 30%, 30% (weak), 20%, 11.8%, and 10% (different league).
I don't know the math on how it stacks, but I think it's a lot.
it's all multiplicative i think but i don't know how that calculation works lol
I beat extremer measures! With a VERY defensive build
basically invincible
I just did a daedalus anvil and gave me this sweet combo
Rama with explosive shot feels agonizing, but by the time you get it charged enemies will certainly be close
personally thanking artemis for this success

lightning mcqueen
@mortal mulch with the point blank and triple shot, you don't even need full charge to deal 1k+ damage
although I did get a chance to do a full charge perfect shot on hades when he was doing a triple laser. it took about close to half his life
congrats!
I think I might be a little crazy 100% no healing plus Guan Yu
oh damn, guan yu level 1
i feel like lasting consequences is basically free heat on guan yu though
my bow was at like 5 heat so I decided to at least get a decent number locked in. I've done this same thing with rail and fists so far, now I just have to get shield to 16+
barely made it
i feel like lasting consequences is basically free heat on guan yu though
@tough mirage
Yeah pretty much, no healing all game was pretty scary though
yeah, i bet
πππ finally beat it (switch /handheld)
I cleared an escape attempt but didn't think to screenshot. Anyway to get that info back?
Idk if it does the screen but the administrative room has what boons you used and clear time on all your runs
Thanks so much
I really enjoyed clearing the game. Haven't got such a sense of accomplishment from a game in awhile
what the hell is this build? My first acquaintance with those gloves. I never been so overpowered, I wonder how much more it can go
@lunar peak credits do not mean the end of the game, nor do they mean the game is over. there are several phases of the story.its just a begining)
just the first clear
Okay this is the first time I end up with such a nuke build and B O Y it was a wild ride
This close to getting a true zero-hit Hades fight, lost one charge on the Acorn. I love Best Uncle and the Charged Shot shield upgrade.
somehow did 17 min while farming for nix quest
Now I've won with every weapon (aspects not accounted for). Also barely sub 20
Woohoo
I was surprised that Bladerift and Chill worked much better then I expected
31.5 on plume
New personal record on clear time!
First try at speedrunning while using speedrun strats. Got a pretty good build early
damn, 9:25
took me 8 hours of gaming to beat hades for the first time :)
perfect fists run. press Q to delete all enemies
This was a fun run... 67.2% dodge chance xD
the impossible 32 heat omg
Lol hazard bomb eris
INCOMING!!!!
Btw @unreal prawn dodge is multiplicative, not additive so itβs not actually 62% dodge chance but still really cool π bet you dodged a lot with it
It was insane
Yeah, u can see my health at the end of dad was near full xD
not as high some max heat runs I've seen but wow it was wild ride
Congrats! 32 is pretty darn dope!
I think I've cleared heat 2 only with like the fists so far. Only ever cleared dad with 3 weapons (sword, fists and rail), on 7 streak now. Only bought the game a few days ago π
I'm hoping to improve!
Btw @unreal prawn dodge is multiplicative, not additive so itβs not actually 62% dodge chance but still really cool π bet you dodged a lot with it
@cobalt compass How did you come to the number 62?
Err whatever you said I canβt remember
Yeah it was more like 67 right? Just misremembered
Well you're saying it's multiplicative - either my math is bad or it doesn't work that way π
So I'd be interested in the math behind it, if it's not additive (15% fists + 15% Hermes Boon + 37.2% Feather = 67.2%) like I thought it would be?
This close to getting a true zero-hit Hades fight, lost one charge on the Acorn. I love Best Uncle and the Charged Shot shield upgrade.
@devout heron man how can you have 251 clears? are there escape attempts so the total try..or total victory?
Only a victory counts as a clear
he has 42 clears on every weapon, except one with 41
farmer xD
wtf how many hours needs to do that XD? i think that before so many clears he failed other times....so hundred of hours XD , i have like 80 hours or more and i did 72 escape attempts...with 12 victory more or less (the first 30 hours i didn't focus on build XD just unlock cosmetic stuff and try weapons and didn't know about DUO or great boons
So I'd be interested in the math behind it, if it's not additive (15% fists + 15% Hermes Boon + 37.2% Feather = 67.2%) like I thought it would be?
based on those numbers, looks to be 54%
But WHAT IS THE MATH???
wtf how many hours needs to do that XD? i think that before so many clears he failed other times....so hundred of hours XD , i have like 80 hours or more and i did 72 escape attempts...with 12 victory more or less (the first 30 hours i didn't focus on build XD just unlock cosmetic stuff and try weapons and didn't know about DUO or great boons
@high sedge I'm 32h in according to steam, though I'm slow because I read and on some occasions pause and go cook a meal, lol. I've got 8 clears.
no need to scream
If simple hard way, you take the chances of not dodging an attack per dodge modifier and multiply them
0.85 x 0.85 x 0.628 = 0.460955, which is the chance to not dodge an attack at all. 1-0.460955 is the dodge chance
Why is it backwards like that?
@high sedge I'm 32h in according to steam, though I'm slow because I read and on some occasions pause and go cook a meal, lol. I've got 8 clears.
@unreal prawn i think many people just give up when they see doesn't have the right boons
i gave up like ONE time in 70 attempts
after the main story
I've not given up at all. I just go with the rolls, see what's next, gather materials
Everything is useful, in the end
yea, is the best way
I've got the crit aspect of the sword maxed (caps at 30%), so I can pretty much clear that without good boons every time, but I've not played with much heat yet, as I still have 3 more weapons to make clears with, so have mats still remaining.
Add a feather for dodge and sorted
Why is it backwards like that?
Honestly, it's hard to explain. But most of the reason ig is that the dodge can only occur once, blocking off other numbers, while not dodging an attack is a persistent chance
honestly i only use Athena keepsake or Demeters for the first world
and then the life keepsake for the second and the third XD
Honestly, it's hard to explain. But most of the reason ig is that the dodge can only occur once, blocking off other numbers, while not dodging an attack is a persistent chance
@dense spindle hmmm... It would make sense to just have a linear, additive chance to dodge. 0% to start with, add 10% for basic hermes, keep adding the feather - cap it at some % so you don't break the game
Because if it's multiplicative like that, it's deceiving looking at the numbers
You think you've got a solid dodge build and it's less than that in reality because reasons
Maybe. Damage reduction works in the same way so here is the tidbit of knowledge too
Is there a technical page somewhere where this is laid out?
Like... How am I even supposed to figure that out if the numbers lie?
I wish there was a stat page that showed your stats
Like in most good RPGs (or dungeon crawlers, specifically)
By experimenting, roguelikes are known for a bunch of hidden stuff
Either way, this is not the channel to discuss that all in so we may have to move to #h1-builds-and-combat
But like... Do you get what I mean? Why show me 15% if it's not 15%?
first time trying to go fast
my first 32 heat run. Lost of Deaths defiance to rats π
Quick run with the chiron bow done, only rail remains to sub 20
then it's time to push sub 15 I guess haha
Shame I couldn't get artemis aphro duo this run
heat 7 EM3 clear in 15 mins, losing all 3 death defies to Theseus
nice speed
I did nem for my sword run but I think Poseidon is meta now for times
Or maybe just for all weapon runs since you don't need a specific hammer
I'd like to try a quick arthur run
it's fun
i found that with arthur you can dash between big slashes and it doesn't interrupt combo
so you can clear rooms SUPER quickly by positioning well with the dashes and just comboing your slashes forever
i also got hammers that let me clear rooms quickly, namely 200% backstab and 300% damage to armor
plus taking 3 chaos rooms and being offered a fourth helped
fastest hades kill yet
shaved off a few seconds from my best
32 heat done
God damn exclusive access is strong lol. What a great first victory
i may like Poseidon a bit
(not really a win yet, but wanted to show the crazy 5 consecutives Poseidon encounters)
Sorry, 6
Wrong weapon haha
16 heat! woot
I don't have a screenshot at the moment but my boast with hades is I have a 26 win streak out of 30 wins. I've done a total of around 45 runs
And that's always increasing the heat on the next weapon/run by 1
Nice, I'm hoping to keep my streak up but I'm about to move on to EM3 so we'll see 
excalibur hoarding attacks w/ 100% bonus from behind + athena bubble = standing there and wailing on hades for muchos damage
if only artemis showed up to give my attacks crits 
ok how do you get those cool borders
i think theyre related to ur win streaks
there are different interfaces you can buy from the contractor that I'm guessing is where they're from?
Yeah, they are purchaseable from the house contractor.
oh ok
after this run i think this is my favorite one out of the 8
really proud of this run, the duo boon of zeus and aprhrodite is crazy good
funny lightning
Holy crap these runs are awesome. I just hit credits after 29 runs, had a 6-run streak in the middle, but that was at Heat 1 levels lol. I imagine anything higher than Heat 2 is going to give me trouble.
u actually get used to heat pretty quickly. its daunting at first but u adapt fast
^
It's like swimming in a chilly swimming pool
Best way is to jump in from the deep end
Then scale back to where you're comfortable
got my fastest clear yet! Merciful end is very strong, and zeus shield go brrrrrr
yeah I was in shock, the first 3 things i got was athena dash, ares special, and athena special, and everything just fell into place afterwards
my only regret is dionysis cast so I couldnt get burning blood damage
|| stole || this build yesterday, easiest hades ive ever done
almost new speed record on heat 18 without even trying
hades bow
ehhh hera bow*
This build popped off so comically hard that I did all the Satyr rooms for laughs.
think i'm starting to get the hang of this 32 heat thing
mvp goes to rare crop, which i took late game on the off chance that it happened to pick my common trippy shot shot (which had become integral to my build) out of like a dozen choices
and it proceeded to do so
my only regret is that it didn't have time to take Trippy to heroic
lmao it upgraded it as soon as i left the victory screen
"Ehh, you won't need it, but here it is anyways"
This was the weirdest chiron build I'd have never thought would work
I was actually using the volley to stack hangover and set up for 950 sniper crits
I was actually using the volley to stack hangover and set up for 950 sniper crits
N u k e
I really should start using gods' legacy
I never utilise duo boons enough tho
SUB TWENTY MINUTES! WOO!
Hell Mode start is quite hellish, as it turns out
. Adding some other pacts for fancies doesn't help either
The run was pulled out only by sheer power of Merciful End and all the effort spent to live until one (in Elysium)
that 3HP
Hell mode save going well, although this particular run was on life support from the get go, luckiely I met Patroclus on 3 HP with no DDs and then I picked up five rare or better boons on the hunt for the sack. What a ride.
Life support by Charon Wells is also a possibility, but Patty is way more soul-warming 
(and effective, while at that)
never heard patty before, I'll refer to him as patty now on
Very minor boast because it's a pretty mild heat run compared to what some other people do here, but I was just happy to finally get a half-decent new Best Time.
Was inspired to try to beat my sub 20 min run. Focused and got sub 18 minutes! Woop! Woop!
beat daddy for the first time with his own dang spear
how absolutely fitting
Finally got to experience this OP build
nice!
okay i donβt suppose you could tell me how many lightning strikes you were getting?
no one seems to know whether second wave breaks the zeus lightning strike limit with sea storm
Oh, I didn't take note of that sorry.
I don't think it caps it tho? Because I saw a huge increase in DPS when I finally got sea storm. as the strikes just keep coming in
zeucifer build π
Could've gotten a better time if I didn't stop for chests
posiedon turns lucifer rail into a super soaker lmao
I was makin it raaaain
good start to phase2 
frost flourish (w/ the +4 arrows hammer) and heartbreak strike (just for the privileged status)... but crystal clarity and a +50% cast buff from well did most of the work
on the bow whose special autoaims after attack
aspect of chiron or whatever
is this stygian soul or infernal soul?
stygian... i find it works better for demeter cast, so long as you can get things that make it stick around (and fully loaded)
Oh it was a laser build. I thought that it was in one hit. Crystal Clarity is so OP
Jumped from 10 to 32, it was quite hard so I lowered it to 25 and cleared it on second try 
ooh, stygian soul with fully loaded? delicious
C r y s t a l M e m e
10 win streak, been a while since I've actually considered myself "good" at a game.
I don't think it caps it tho? Because I saw a huge increase in DPS when I finally got sea storm. as the strikes just keep coming in
@burnt prism thanks, yeah i feel like it shouldnβt hit the cap but i havenβt managed to get conclusive evidence on that yet
didnt plan to make this "build" but it turned out pretty ok. around 50% invincibility uptime
new record baybee
I love this combo of Aphro/serrated on Achilles
Didn't quite get extra dashes like last time I did this but I did get hyper sprint
I finally did it
First clear !
Got a run under 17 minutes.
Uhm, I'd have to crop the screenshot, because I forgot to hold down alt, so it screenshot both my screens.
(I think I'm too lazy for that)
if possible, i'd recommend flipping the controls so it only screenshots both screens if you hold down alt
i know it's easily possible with sharex, if that's what you're using
gilgamesh doesn't get enough love
There we go.
My Zagreus when I have Ruthless Reflex and Second Wind on
relatable
Needs more plumage.
32 heat 2 to go
@hoary schooner What's your heat set-up like?
@burnt prism you can see it on the top of the screen next to the heat skull
you can also see the mirror upgrades below that
the screen was yellow
Zeus builds are becoming a fast favorite of mine. He just chunks
Just got my second Hades kill
The gun combined with a stupid amount of Zues boons π
First time hitting sub 20 on shield! 3 more to go
Arthur was fun haha. Finally hit sub-20 clear time.
First time trying Poseidon's aspect, quite fun build
finally tried Em4
cleared it though only at 11 heat π
WAIT I WAS WRONG
HES NOT DEAD
i mean i haven't tried it yet but i'm just assuming there's extra phase
||Phases 1 and 2 are more difficult as well. He summons nastier adds and uses a couple of new attacks.||
Good luck!
thanks
been doing the heats strictly in order and I only use weapons with the darkness bonus, so
took forever
Gg
Worth.
nothing new here. just simple 2 button gameplay. somewhat relaxing
11 streak gang
i'm pretty sure all of my streaks have been broken by spear runs
finally got my second clear
spear run!
i also had Support Fire
and the Hermes boon that auto-fills the call meter
so for most of the bosses i just did damage and then used the greater Artemis call to take out stupid amounts of HP
17:48 clear time ayyy
PB'd, yes I am big noob
Dang, 11 minutes? That is awesome. Eris is a monster. Plus Sea Storm combo, jeezus
it's not hard if you actually try to go fast
I mean yeah, if you're used to it. I'm still around sub 19.
21 my fastest thus far
Havent really tried to go super fast tho
I really hope this game gets troves of dlc
Take my money supergiant
got my first clear :]
@hallow vector bro the ganon cord mod is here
@royal current you found me
yo
usually i hate exagyrph but I have fun this run
sub 11!
nice!
just melt rooms at a time with Chiron
my favorite bow aspect
did it again and i had fun with it
Congrats!
First heat win... 
if you're doing 1 heat, I suggest getting tight deadline as the beginner one
you can clear in 35 mins so at TD1 it's 36 mins for you
plus having it on can make you play a bit better
So I got 22.4% on Lambent Plume, plus 50% from Ruthless and another 36% from Second Wind, and lastly 15% from Malphon
Also Ultra Instinct Zag vs Final Boss EM4 and FO2
Currently on a 28 streak but this was a fantastic fight I went into blind.
nice, me too, minus the streak
New PB. Eris meta ftw
I know
I'm just going for that fate
Don't judge
It was kind of awkward tbh
But a rail that shoots 150+ damage per shot is kinda cool
no
that
looks fun
who can say no to a shotgun firing explosive pellets
imagine backstabbing with that
drunken thundercloud goes brrr.... and those sweet priveleged status
Was able to move pretty fast with this one. Got the Plume bonus on every room where it was available. Aphrodite's Aid was doing 5k+ for boss killing.
As someone who didn't love the bow, Rama's savage damages might be the most savage of the hidden aspects, and new PR, and barely lost any health to hades! Think I might already be ready for EM4
It's all you need
wow that's a good butterfly number
you know, em4 isn't that bad, i say, ignoring that i deal upwards of a thousand damage per volley and that i burned two death defies on the fight
I got explosive bow which almost killed me
@wicked marsh damn dude nice, I like runs with no/minimal damage, respect
I had to be careful, I took Dark regeneration and high confidence for the Prophecy. Thought this was the best way to go about it. Got lucky with dio cast on Hera.
Finally escaped for the first time! Omg Athena's call fully charged is OP. Now to start farming titan blood?
amazing
what cast?
zeus
i like this bow
different kind of victory, but ive 100% the game
oh wow what theme is that @wicked marsh
"Lovely"
ok
Congrats! π
laughs in absurd crits
@wicked marsh wait what do you mean 100%?
Jumped straight from Heat 8 to Heat 16 to get 2nd Skelly statue, not too bad, just lose 2 defiances, but can't imagine Heat 32.
Truly blessed by the gods for these 4(!) duo cast boons that really tore through the Satyr tunnels and Hades. I don't think I'll ever see such synergy again for some time.
Lucifer ain't bad tbh.
filthy charm lock build
||Aww yeah Hellmode Epilogue here I come. Also does this count as my first victory with malfond, although I technically didn't kill dad? I believe it took 22 Runs or something like that to get here.||
you got the titan blood so it counts
First 32 heat run!
slowly pushing it with salty grandma https://imgur.com/a/TgSRnc0
the perfect dem chiron build, very nice
wish i had that +4 arrow hammer, it would have triggered artic blast in 1 volley
What is the highest single burst damage you guys managed to achieve? This build has my cast dealing 5k, , close to 6k damage. Aphrodite also dealt 6k+ damage per call. Imagine if it had Artemis' crit! 
FIVE LEGENDARIES in one run. All thanks to 2 of Chaos' Favor blessings! Legendaries from Hermes, Chaos, Aphrodite, Athena and Zeus.
@glad drift did the game play itself too? Crazy
||rama|| is so fun
always glad to see smouldering air
I did my first 32 heat! from a previous best of 20! π
chiron + aphrodite special + hades attack + duo is way op. didn't find the duo this run but got lucky and demeter's grow boon just happened to pick my common aphrodite special which REALLY helped.
(Sorry for the French)
My first "Cast Only" run. Played mostly Artemis + Poseidon. Aspect of Poseidon + Flood Shot + Mirage Shot + Exit Wounds + Gasp from Chaos (+1 Cast).
To give you an idea => 4 Cast Shot + 1 Special (disloges the crystals so it triggers 4 times Exit Wounds) => A third of Asterius' HP. Was really fun to play !
Third kill π
why zeus attack with hestia
Chiron/Nausea builds are so good they are boring.
"Young man, how many lightning bolts would you like today?"
"Yes, uncle Zeus."
Sorry for the poor quality
oh man, that looks like a fun build
It's so ridiculously fun. I just decided "Hey, how large can I make those lightning bolts anyway?" And bam
a very stupid build. Who needs casts anyway
ah.. forgot to include, Aphrodite special attack\
upgrading high voltage is very fun, just like blade rift size
Just killed hades with aspect of arthur
Had the 200% backstab hammer
Epic artemis attack boon
Was hitting 1500 damage backstab on hades
I don't think there's a shield aspect I dislike
Although the run wasn't particularly fast
this was the fastest Hades clear i've had
woop woop
damn, nice
@iron thistle do you trigger doom 5 times like that with an empowered special?
omega shotgun
does trippleshot actually shotgun up close?
yup
@wispy ravine sub 15 minutes is cruising!!!
another one from earlier that was kinda eh
Thanks @lean frigate
The build requires athena on special because it is a prerequisite for Merciful End, along with the doom attacks
But you actually proc doom with your divine dash
So at minimum, Ares attack, Athena special and dash, and merciful end are necessary for the build (with impending doom being super high priority - worth rerolling for if you have ME already)
Because with only dash you can't get ME
yep
tyty
I did use special sometimes, I had kinetic launcher hammer so it charges up and fired lots of projectiles with demeter fists
so you just poke them with attack and then dash immediately?
But only used that when say hades was invulnerable
Or if I had it charged and fired it as I waited for something to spawn in
Yeah you just spam attack and dash strike whenever dash is off CD to proc huge doom dmg
So extra dashes from hermes are nice
ill try that next time i get darkness buff on fists, ty π
(eris withs zeus attack and poseidon dash?)
made insane Zag bow build, Hades just got melted 
Yep exactly that
wait does that even work on bosses
since you cant knock them back?
oh i guess the effect is enough
Still deals dmg and procs lightning
From there just pick up all the tier 2 boons you can find like zeus legendary, double strike, jolted, rupture, second wave etc
Tanky slow mo build with Excalibur which made it very easy to shrug off damage but was also pretty boring to play with
What a tonk
Extreme Measure 3 beaten!!1 WOOT!!
4 i mean
Ended it with 3 hp but have two death defience left
Think i gotten the handle of hades since i used my death defience only on his third phase
First time using Gilgamesh and went for ME build lol.
thanks to shield having innate block I managed to leave asphodel with 1/163hp and no DD to making my way all to Pat and getting full DD again (and losing a DD to poison because the pools are mean to activate) and finally barely scraping by in the final fight
I have the last skelly statue
Athena's Aid is busted. 22.32 seconds of invincibility and deflect
First sheild kill π
I call it the make make love and war build. first clear of hell mode heck yeah.
Fun hangover build with chaos shield
Havenβt played chaos shield in a while
First time beating EM3
Slowly climbing the heats
final boss is easy guys
woot beat EM4 just now
Grats! Just did EM3 here myself
5 casts of heroic trippy casts makes dragon rush go boom
lol yeah was just gonna say, i saw some 4k+ bursts which exceeds even my thanatos summon
that's amazing
ty, highly recommend trying it, it's even fun on the regular chambers
I load in one cast at a time to create festive fog smoke screens so everyone around where i land is constantly stunned
best loadout in the game no cap ^
Hi, just joined the discord. Wanted to share my best run so far and favorite cast build. Initially slept on Artemis cast, boy was I wrong.
third victory and apparently two in a row?
i thought this bow build was super jank but it worked :)
Finally managed to live the Beyblade dream! Achilles aspect with this was insane
Well, i did it. I had fun the whole way.
Just won a difficult run by the skin of my teeth and wanted to brag. So hello Supergiant Games, hello Hades fans! Hope you like my boast!
Got great run with Delta chamber and Dio 
Also EM4 is fuuuun
Man of culture I see
Delta drunken strike is pretty gnarly looking!
is it possible to get a full boon screen?
another row can be added beyond that one actually, and push pinned boons etc. on top of the right victory window
now i feel like Sisyphus and boons are my boldy
first attempt at EM4 was LARGELY a success
But at the same time I went for the most coward build in the entire realm
Chaos shield merciful end
Got ME immediately in Tartarus which made the run... exponentially easier
Next step is probably nemesis with EM4... the heat level is right there.
How are you dudes taking screenshots?
How are you dudes taking screenshots?
@silk shard for switch u can take a screenshot then post it to twitter
And u can download the pic from ur phone or pc
Can also do F12 on Steam
i just manually screenshot
What a silly build
just try hitting me
just BARELY got my first EM4 win
i dont have a picture but i managed to beat hades on my first time reaching him. had a hazard bomb, rocket bomb, tripple bomb adamant XD
nice!
When the rng hits right 
Well true the gods offered to me didn't share much XD. Hermes really helped out Poseidon tho.
oof, getting Middle-Management Cutter over Pride of Olympus as a title, priority is dumb.
Title? Oh there's a little title bit! Is that randomized?
A close call of ||EM4.|| Tbh I was too careless at the last moments, tanking this boss without greater Athena call was really dangerous, so I lose more health than I supposed to.
Also I got haste of Hermes achievement, yay 
just cleared my first 32 heat with zag fists with no attack boon until styx lmao
pfft hey this might be a hot take but it turns out having nearly 20 seconds of invincibility during The Final Boss and being able to do it about 3 times is um
yeah
RNG hitting the weirdest way. First of all, for some reason my dash got level 12. Second, All the health related boons appeared right at the start of the run. Last, I was using the Aspect of Chiron, but those two hammers decided to make my attack a booming shotgun. It was a fun run.
Actually trying to avoid boons from Poseidon, and I somehow ended up with his legendary. Cool, I guess?
Cast for the win ! Ever wondered what 16 crystal beam do to hades ?
Thats a lotta damage
my favorite screenshots are the ones where people try to go for a certain build but end up using a cast build instead
"I don't know how i did it" the build
i love this melee build
anvil before hades replaced chain shot and added relentless volley and concentraded volley making me 1 shot armor and giving insane dmg on hades π
lucky anvil!
Yay, just did my first 16 Heat, and all the Poseidon boons really helped dish out damage to Hades (for whatever reason, the Pom artifact kept levelling up the knock-away boss damage boon up to level 7)
Got a ridiculous combo with True Shot, Heart Rend, Parting Shot, Mirage Shot, Blinding Flash, Sweet Surrender. Ended up 2 shotting 2nd stage final boss. 1 x 6000 damage and 1 x 5000 damage.
Worth it for the statue
@silk yew Lol I have a few of those, βIn no way was I expecting to win with thisβ builds
Its one of those run

THE final run. All weapons 20 heat. I knew final run had to be hades spear vs ||EM4||.
Damn, grats, down to the last 81 health too
The road to heat 32 begins now! 
Any tips for these 15min runs that I'm seeing. Do I just have to stop doing troves or looking around the chamber for money urns lol
Definitely the biggest bullying build I've made to date.
fourth victory and three in a row
greater artemis call is my new crutch lol
Cursed slash too?
I think im getting better π
Bold
Cursed slash too?
yeah but i wasn't relying on that
i actually used hoarding slash for most of the run hoping to be able to buy a titan blood at styx
then it turned out to be a diamond so i used the anvil and lost hoarding slash
This build melted EM4 Hades. I think this is the reason but I'm not sure.
could have been that instead though...
Despite being the highest heat i've run yet, this was the easiest act3 and4 boss clears I can remember
didnt even break acorn lol
they made this game too ez
how much darkness did you get from the final boss?
how much darkness did you get from the final boss?
@glad drift got ~400 gems, I guess that would've been twice in darkness
Finaly got a good hunting blades build together.
not high heat but the cleanest sewers i had
@eternal river howβd you get such a fast clear time with shield? What was the build? Shield always takes me a bit longer vs other weapons
boy did this run make me miss god trinkets and acorn
finally did it! pretty sure this is only my second attempt at 32 heat too lmao, i never thought i'd be able to get it so i didn't even try for the longest time, but somehow here we are
2 death defies remaining too!
ended up going into the final fight with 375 hp lol
actually i only cranked it up to 32 in the first place because i thought it would help me die faster so i could get through some more narrative events back at the house π
the fates have a strange sense of humor i guess
π
the fates have a strange sense of humor i guess
That's Zagreus level of Defying the Fate
Like he wasn't meant to be alive at all but he kinda changed the whole thing upside-down
Cursed slash + flurry slash is outright broken
And the crazy amount of attack speed and movement speed on top of that
Took me about half a minute to clear hades
40 Heat - Highest for me.
I don't think I want to climb any higher. It definitely stops being fun very quickly. But this felt good.
Drunken Flourish is sooo good on Chiron. Personaly I feel like deadly flourish is more fun but you kinda need 2 specific hammers to make that build come together. This way all you need is some poms and you're golden. Good job man!
Just got my 6th win - beat him with all the weapons now π


lmao i enjoy the use of pact conditions to avoid forced overtime
I mean FO isn't really an option on ka
Unless you enjoy having your attacks interrupted
don't sit still while you're doing your combo
If I was doing that I wouldn't have won this
no victory but i'm officaliy at 100+ hours
all in on the cast, was super fun, wish i had gotten ice explosion at the end for more dps but i had a blast
normally i hate bow since i haven't been able to put blood into it yet
also did it with an egg since chaos asked me to, can't be turning him down
spamming call every 5 seconds with a Doom special(Aspect of Zeus) was really fun and strong
@idle pumice all those gem curses from Chaos....are you saying you got those in a single run?! omg!!!
Deirhanaman WHOA that looks like an awesome build there!
I had 400 max HP. Two wins with every weapon as well
got that dash-strike run
not exactly as amazing as i thought, also should have taken Artemis' dash, oh well
(Arguably) 100% perfect Hera build.
Beat hades without using a single death defiance, also second win in a row for me
Pog
finally figured out how to find these screenshots. (before you question why i only have 2 clears, dont worry about it <.<)
||i may or may not have employed some resource mods cause i really hate grinding with little progress||
My second win, would have been even better with Sweet Surrender but 5 athena dashes in a row was good enough
Max Tight Deadline run
100th run! Managed to get 24% dodge on the plume with Zag fists too
32 heat woohoo!
First 50 WOOO!!!!
EM4 no deaths :pog:
@strong torrent how...
First 50 WOOO!!!!
https://imgur.com/iM6CeBp
@livid radish how the hell did u do it with that many boons
Iβve gotten my ass kicked by EM4
So many times
Just keeps taking damage in the last phase
@slim trout I got... very very lucky with boons, actually, imo. I hit Athena's Aid and epic Divine Strike, and I got Twin Shot from an AP2 hammer in Elysium.
This run was ultra blessed
this run was ok
Set up a victory screenshot and forgot to actually press the screenshot button -_-
Anyway, imagine EM4 clear with aspect of arthur, hoarding slash and over 3k gold. Also imagine cthonic theme and 1 DD left.
I started Relentless Volley with Dio special. Other relevant boons are Divine Strike, Hunter Dash, Greatest Reflexes, level 4 Athena's Aid.
i see π€ and the hangover damage is enough for bosses?
or does the hunter dash contribute a lot? i dont pick that one usually
Boss damage was majority from Divine Strike and Twin Shot.
But yeah Hangover isn't worthless. It's extremely easy to maintain 5 stacks of it on multiple targets with Relentless Volley.
The damage adds up, and it's great for small targets like Flamewheels and skulls. It also has the added bonus of wrecking through Tartarus, which is a real concern with Tight Deadline 3
ye i noticed that even on 20 heat, tartarus is the hardest lol
until EM4 hades if youre unlucky with tunnels
The video is up on #self-promotion if you're interested
oh nice, ill check it out
I've discovered reverse Hunting Blades
what happens if you run out of time for tight deadline?
you lose hp over time
ahh
@gleaming current How is your total clears higher than your weapon clears?
heat and non heat wins are tracked differently in the stats for weapons i believe
so if you win a run with heat it shows all your other heat wins
Hm no? Check that last screen from Ares up there
Strange.
@gleaming current (and @heavy wren ) if any of your wins were using God Mode, I believe those are tracked differently
ahh yeah that makes sense
i turn on god mode sometimes when i get Fed up with some things
fair enough ^.^
Woooo attempt 4 escape! Started a hell mode file after finishing epilogue on normal. Doom on bow attack isnβt ideal, but at least Dire Misfortune showed up to make it less heinous.
Ah okay thanks @kindred sluice
This was such an awkward run, and I was so diffident that I took skelly's tooth. Turned out not to need it, like, at all. Pleased to have salvaged a pretty garbage situation.
Deathless Em4, finally, x4 dash ftw
my dodging in the final fight was pretty bad, so it's good this was absolutely devastating
@idle pumice all those gem curses from Chaos....are you saying you got those in a single run?! omg!!!
@nimble river yeah. Bought 2 gates in Charon wells, but didn't reroll anything
i am so bad at dodging but im bloodthirsty and time spent dodging is time spent not killing
BOULDY CAN GIVE YOU DAMAGE REDUCTION THIS SAVED MY RUN HOLY CRAP-
Hades no boons% done. Next time i'll try with Hades extreme measures as well
unfortunately I couldn't purge "premium vintage" but it didn't really helped
This did not go as expected. It turns out the flourish only procs twice per shot... Nevermind then. Anyways 20 win streak achieved despite this botched build.
That was some dummy thicc build. 1k+ backstabs... noice
now that's a chiron build
@simple pond Delete this. its spoiler.Huge spoiler.And this do not end of game. You just change game phase.Epilog =End of game.
ye, victory screen screenshots only :x
@simple pond Sorry, only victory screens and discussions of them are allowed in this channel so as to avoid story spoilers! 
GOTY
First EM4 clear HOT damn
fun to just lobs casts at enemies and watch the lightning do the work. also spamming dash strike is fun
it's absurd if you add hunter's mark: the mark just jumps back and forth between enemies around every 0.5 seconds
aggressively re-rolling chaos paid off
first heat 24
very close call, think it would have been easier if i didnt lose 2 death defiances in elysium to me being stupid
that was a fun build-- didn't become a hitless run but a harmless boss clear!
I planned out this build in my head, and then somehow it worked out even better than I imagined. Aspect of Poseidon + Exit Wounds + a bunch of Cast buffs and Critical damage = boss decimator. I literally had to do a double take when I beat the Elysium boss fight, it was over so fast.
finally all weapons on 20 heat π and this run was super sketchy
time for high heat runs
finally done with 32 heat
First 20 heat clear woo
@viral osprey another chiron only player
