It's fun

Gonna try to branch out eventually

ye chiron is super fun

#

I got my first clear since 1.0 released!

#

apparently my screenshot didn't save, but it was Excalibur + Cursed slash, and I was running lambent plume and got the Hermes boon where extra speed = extra damage, at epic level

minor bloom
#

nothing special as I try and grind up the heat, but it was nice to finally have all the dodge chances go my way; hades couldn't touch this; kinda sad I wasn't doing EM4

Hunting blades + ares legendary was insane

torpid shoal
#

Stats aren't that great, but my god was this rng perfect. My attacks would just quickly melt bosses like they were cheese

tight adder
#

@wide raptor not as fast as aphro/art but still pretty good if you like campy builds

#

basically mark > special then hide for like 8s and hades will lose like 1/4 of his hp bar

trim quartz
#

A very scuffed build that had almost none of what I wanted, but still worked somehow :/

#

stupid

#

BOY

trim briar
#

Oh, I'm proud of this one! Aside from an EM4 clear, I did it with one of the trickier weapons for me to work with, plus I got the Lambent Plume that high! The two Hammer mods definitely helped recoup HP I lost to sloppy defense, and all in all, a fun run for me!

#

(I also got one of Hermes's boons to add an extra 15% dodge chance)

royal current

also I forgot to screenshot in game

Got the Hades spear build I wanted
@trim quartz a spear player! Rare sight to see

@royal current screw guan yu. All my homies hate guan yu

well we are enemies now

sudden sierra
#

guan yu is like, my least favorite aspect on my least favorite weapon

devout lichen
#

I want to get good at Guan Yu but much squishy is scary

mellow wigeon
#

I did my first Rama run last night, started off losing 2 DD's to the Medusa/Stomper miniboss, but the build didn't quit on me!

#

Another spear clear! starting to get the hang of it, ignore the 7 health and 0 DDs

wicked marsh
#

"Close call, though" No kidding

trim quartz
#

to be fair i was at the point where I could out-damage Hades

#

but for half the fight i played it normally

#

like an idiot

#

so i ended up with a mad spam of everything for damage

steep marten
frozen solstice
#

Bruh how your best time 18 minutes?! Dang that's fast af!

brittle jolt
#

First EM4 attempt was a success. Basically an Athena deflect and artemis crit and call build. Also had the quick favor for auto gauge gain and the gauge on crit boon.

I know this isn't much compared to what other people are showing off, but...

Fully spec'd slicing shot

frigid marsh
#

WOO! maxed out all the relationships! πŸ˜„

wicked marsh
#

nice!

#

10 seconds off my speed record with a damage mitigation build.. Gilgamesh is kinda nuts fun. Really got to like the aspect when I realized you could hold the dash button down.

frigid marsh
#

Gilgamesh is my favorite definitely

#

and yea, the tips skelly gives you change for each weapon. He tells you about the dash thing fyi

wicked marsh
#

I never got tips from him?

frigid marsh
#

the objectives

#

like, press square to do this attack

#

press triangle to do this attack

#

hold X to dash

wicked marsh
#

Oh, huh, I missed the "hold"

frigid marsh
#

yea i didn't notice it changes per aspect either

#

well until later obviously

fresh gust
#

Tried a darkness-free run. It was a nervous one, but surprisingly I did not die. Exchanged pom keepsake for acorn for last area, and that saved me. Overall, a harder experience that EM4+BP1+MM, despite nearly twice less heat.

#

damn that sounds interesting

#

ill probably try that eventually

oh merciful end? @fair gate

#

didnt try to get it but that seems to be a build you should look for right

fair gate

yeah its arguably the best fists build

lucid wharf
#

Oh nice

#

@dusky urchin heat 32 Oo

faint python
#

I was hoping for some special dialog for forsaking the Olympians' aid, but alas (no heat, because I didn't know how difficult it might be)

tough mirage
#

is there anything chiron can't do? lol

livid radish
#

Styx small rat swarms with DC2 and FO2 are still such a pain lol

#

It was lethal in Blood Price but it's just "very annoying" now

tough mirage
#

oh man, i can imagine

torpid shoal
#

Zeus boons usually pop the Damage control shields quickly

pearl smelt
#

24 heat only die once the entire run in 17 mins with Gilgamesh fist. Stacking dodge is good

rustic warren
#

how u have the woodland theme and all those mirror talents with only 14 clears?

pearl smelt
#

I used key to reset and I farmed quite a lots

#

I also started to play from Hell Mode and as soon as I unlock the extra difficulty for boss I always go for max. So I don't have many clear

#

I just got the final one today though after like months of farming

rustic warren
#

mmm forgot about the key reset

pearl smelt
#

Literally I unlocked everything then use key and stick to that same mirror setup the entire time.

rustic warren
#

sounds harsh

pearl smelt
#

the final mirror costs 4000 darkness took me 1 week ( it wasn't really that long honestly but I don't have much time to play and I traded stuff for 500 darkness quite a few times)

#

but yea I dont have many clear because I always play with max extreme measure and die on hades or hydra

#

those are the hardest boss for me

#

@wide raptor this is one of my previous run at same heat. I used athena divine attack and divine dash also with aatermis crit and atermis call. I died real fast

junior falcon

#

hey dudes, is there any special dialogue for reaching/beating Hades with no boons?

pearl smelt
#

I dont think it is possible to have no boons

hollow quail
#

I know you can't avoid them sometimes, but you have that little pool of blood where you can sell them, and Sisyphus gift that boosts you when you have no boons

tough mirage
#

yeah, you can purge at least 3 per biome, and there are also pools in styx

fair gate
#

it’s absolutely possible, but i believe there’s not special dialogue

#

never done it myself tho

hollow quail
#

I actually did it once, got lucky with the chambers, but it was the run right after something story related, so Hades had something to say, that's why I'm still wondering, didn't beaten him tho

#

just gonna keep trying, thank you and good luck to you all

wispy bolt
azure loom
#

might not be best build but, finally first of many

#

had aspect of zeus and the black rift that sucks in

#

i call it "the beyblade build"

grand acorn
faint python
#

@hollow quail He didn't have any dialogue for my boonless run, unfortunately.

lost pecan
#

Dio is great for first runs. He gives a ton of quality bonuses for you to get through the game.

faint python
#

Also, you can purge more than three boons if you reroll your options at the pool

tough mirage
#

oh right, yeah

neat drum
#

i was so close to sub 12

hollow quail
#

@faint python thank you friend, this game has so much dialogue I thought it might be something, but it's understandable

faint python
#

I wish there was! I was inspired (by which I mean goaded) to do a boonless run by Hades saying I wouldn't be able to escape without help from everyone on Olympus, so I was hoping he'd say something about it

#

This run was just absolutely amazing

#

Almost a perfect EM4 fight, got hit twice

#

Also had curse or drowning

#

I had explosive return and sudden rush for hammers, which was really good and works well with the doom boons

#

God chaos shield is so good

#

Damage was incredible

#

EM4 Hades low key easier than heroes fight on this build

fickle scarab

Went for a full demeter build to see how it felt and to get the legendary: cast is kinda fun, and watching the execute animation on Hades was hilarious

oblique pasture

#

I got the "do tons of damage on attack and crit a lot!" run and it's very underwhelming.

Had insanely good RNG. Got everything I wanted and more

Explosive return, sudden rush

Pressure point, impending doom, dire misfortune, splitting headache, curse of nausea, calculated risk, divine protection

don't have a screenshot lol but i beat my 4th run of hades today πŸ₯Ί i'm usually quite bad at games that aren't turn based so im proud of myself for actually being pretty good at this one lol

#

kinda ashamed i finished the main story at the 40 hr mark 😦 i realized it was a stretch. prioritized most of the achievements thinking i can hit 2 birds with the same stone, turns out i skipped some boons/daedalus ups for a reason. but all is well enjoying hades until 50 hrs, now at 52 and kinda bored... hopefully they add something around the gardens

you still must have stuff to unlock

and even if youre done

#

i killed ||hades|| in less than 2 minutes i think

#

i had two +50% special damage chaos boons

#

and bonus damage to heartbroken enemies

#

AND perma privilege thanks to attack applying frost and chiron special doing heartbreak

#

so i basically won the run in asphodel lol

glad pendant
amber yacht
#

in case you didnt know, demeter is absolutely gross with ||beowulf|| cast

#

snow burst activates each shot and it has massive range AND charged shot relocates the aoe attack to where you aim it

#

nice job on your first clear @glad pendant !

glad pendant
#

Thanks @amber yacht it took me over 50 runs πŸ˜‚

lunar peak
#

How i could obtain these vicory banners

#

Victory

dire furnace
#

Tried recreating an old run, turned out as OP as the previous one.... I had another hammer perk that gave +3 dmg for every special arrow I hit & a boon that made enemies take more dmg if they were weak... the synergy was WACK

#

@lunar peak like the decorated ones to the right? ||You gotta rank up via. the resource director I think, resource director unlocks after campaign||

lunar peak
#

||Ok, but i have ranks Up and i dont have any one|| @dire furnace

dire furnace
#

hmm idk about that, last time I really played a lot was before release so this stuff is new for me too (unless these were there before release :P)

lunar peak
#

Ok

#

Tnhk

unreal prawn
#

@dire furnace very OP run, a better version of what you were aiming for :D

dire furnace
#

I'd say my run trumps your run, crit dmg is REALLY op

unreal prawn
#

I know, but you don't proc it all the time

dire furnace
#

20%, 11 arrows

unreal prawn
#

Vs 350% base 100% of the time also 11 :)

#

+20% special speed

dire furnace
#

aight, all im saying it u should try out my version πŸ˜› you will be surprised, killed meg in 6 volleys I think

unreal prawn
#

Oh same, it was a stupid fast run to kill bosses

#

Though it doesn't reflect on my time, since I read and don't speedrun xD

#

And have a habit of smashing pots shadeembarassed

dire furnace
#

yeah lol ur time was pretty slow, though I dont doubt the damage was through the roof

unreal prawn
#

I do like my bow crit runs too, don't get me wrong :D

#

But it was a very lucky run to have the blossom with. I try to keep a levelable boon count low then, so I ended up with lvl 10 of that special

i did 32 long ago but recently tried high heat with excalibur, 35 i think it was

uneven seal
#

I just narrowly beat ||Extreme Measures 4 Hades|| for the first time ever, after a series of defeats at ||his|| hands, on a run that was more meant for unlocks and prophecies than being frontloaded for strength.

That fight is amazing, and I'm glad I found this game all the way back when Asphodel was as far as you could go.

elder crystal
#

i still havent finished a run

#

maybe im stupid brained

finite cove
#

How many have you done?

round sapphire
#

right before that I also got the epilogue ending, ~80h in total on one save for all achievements

#

both in one day, good times

#

time to grind out all the bounties again and mess up EM4, that'll be fun

sturdy bay
#

yeah 80h seems like the sweet spot for epilogue if you're somewhat good at the game

First 32 heat clear on my 1.0 Hell mode Save File, first try too woop woop (still got my early access muscle memory, I guess :p)
full defiances too
@round sapphire chaos shield?

#

Also how do u have 4 defiance’s

round sapphire
#

I was lucky and got the chaos legendary

#

and yeah, chaos shield

slim trout
#

What does chaos legendary do

round sapphire
#

it gives you a filled defiance slot after its cursed is done

slim trout

Is there a pre req to that

Or is it just rng

I’ve never seen it

and yeah, any chaos boon

this weapon is broken. I didn't even have to change the boons it displayed this is what the default was

second GY run in a row with quick and massive spin

the only way you could improve on that would be getting super lucky with the anvil to get those 2 plus the one that makes it travel further, damn

deflecting guan yu spin attack is super fun

what rank is your guan yu i havent been able to win with it but its only level 1

Try the hourglass and stack Prometheus stones

I know it's not much compared to some of you, but I got my tenth victory today.

Stubborn Roots is OP af. That, and the Athena Call, completely saved my ass.

lean frigate
#

oh ye that seems like a nice combo

sour flint

Hm....it wasn't all that great. From what I understand chain-lightning doesn't bounce on singular targets? The damage seemed really low and it took a long time to get him down.

so, how much harder is EM4 with nothing else changed? πŸ˜›

Had a chaos boon for another cast making it 6 casts, engulfing vortex for longer blade rifts & they also pull in the enemies too, blade dash aswell as pressure points with clean kill... probably the most NUTTY build I have ever used other than chiron bow builds

took off fo2 solely because normal hades was super hard/annoying to fight

I've been able to pull off the EM4 + FO2 when sitting through like 16-20 heat, though not consistently, but I just can't seem to do it at 32

how does rocket bomb affect eris?

#

dont you have to stand in the blast radius to get the buff?

#

how does rocket bomb affect eris?
@wheat lynx u just have to stand close to an enemy or a wall for u to absorb the wave

wheat lynx
#

ah ok

#

a lot of people consider the eris aspect as one of the best, but's not clicking for me yet

#

im liking hestia a lot better rn

slim trout
#

It is one of the best yea

#

75% extra damage on everything iirc

#

That’s huge

i didnt get the achilles def

@slim trout does that include status effects like doom?

Aphro legendary was actually very nice to have, didn't really make a difference to speed since I still had 2x DD and plenty of hp but still it goes off more than I expected

Also could not for the life of me find Hunter dash either

Kept dash slot empty all the way until half way through styx after my last artemis boon when I took divine dash since there was no more chances

Messed around with a new build for fists. Legendary Demeter Aspect, with Artemis boon for it, and then uhhh all the rest here lol. I don't think I've ever killed him that fast.

I stumbled on this build entirely accidentally, used artemis special to farm marks and used special + attack (with crit + weak) to deal high damage. Was angling for a duo (post-credit spoilers: ||Persephone's boon seemed really into upgrading the ares dash||) but ended up settling for a size and gravity upgrade from Ares. Blade rift did do quite a bit of damage with Artemis making all damage critable, though.

Started a new save file (regular mode), managed to beat hades after only three runs (when I first started the game, it took me 23 attempts), and of course it happened to be with Aegis. A few things that made this run especially harrowing:

  • No keepsakes or Cthonic Companions available
  • No access to Ares, Hermes, or Demeter boons, who all only showed up in the next run
  • No work orders from the House Contractor, who also only showed up after this run
  • Daedalus Hammers just began to show up, but I only managed to encounter one, at the very beginning of the run
  • VERY minimal mirror investment (effectively Routine Inspection 2, and then some)
  • No zone NPC encounters (e.g. Sisyphus, Eurydice, Patroclus) available
  • Un-upgraded weapons, no option to choose different aspects
  • Even though I got a rare quality Heartbreak Strike, it only boosted damage by 90% (un-pommed), which might be the lowest possible boost.
  • Due to the aforementioned lack of damage, even with Pulverizing Blow, enemies took a really long time to die, hence why the run took 35 minutes.

So, I was doing a heatless run, trying to get Hermes' Bad News boon (didn't get it btw), and ended up with a build that dealt a ton of damage with Ares' and Athena's boons, and made it so that I couldn't even be harmed. I didn't lose any health whilst fighting Hades. Kinda wished I was doing a heat run with that build...

@clever karma Here you go. This run was even dumber. Each hit from call did 1.1k damage to Hades

Finally got the 32 heat run with double Approval Process. The fates wanted me to win. Concentrated Volley + Relentless Volley + Crit + Chiron is gross

#

Does anyone know what the maximum lvl cap for boons is? I managed 18, but I'm curious to see if there's much more xD

wheat lynx
#

i saw a video that went all the way to >30

#

a youtuber called haelien

unreal prawn
#

Cool, so 20 is not the limit then πŸ™‚

#

One of my tactics is to take the bloom (+1 to boons after every 4 encounters), grab the Chiron bow and just grab something for a special. Use rerolls to replace with something better if necessary, but otherwise only really take non-levelable boons. I let the bloom do the rest, as well as me picking up coin/darkness/gems/poms. Sell off unneeded boons at the wells if I'm forced to take something I don't want/need.

any of the companions that are employees of Hades refuse to fight him

||there’s an upgrade to get the rest of them, but that takes a while to unlock||
@fair gate You mean this?

#

Because I got that very early, like after I got the rib, tbh xD

fair gate
#

ah, fair enough

unreal prawn
#

The unlocks are very random

#

my and my gf both play and we are unlocking stuff differently

#

keeps the game fresh, I suppose xD

fair gate
#

it was basically the last thing in the game i unlocked, but that’s because it was one of the last things they added and i played a bunch in EA

unreal prawn
#

The funny thing is that my gf has got more runs on me and she's unlocked more companions and all, but she hasn't got the authority to use them, while I do

#

the unlocks be like that xD

fair gate
#

yeah there’s a bunch of rng lol

unreal prawn
#

Like I said - it keeps the game fresh πŸ˜„

#

Speaking of RNG, I wish there was a way to sway specific gods to help you more often... like if u carry their keepsake, it should give an extra % to have their stuff spawn in the first place

jaunty scroll
#

The God keepsakes make the next boon you encounter be theirs and you can switch them between stages

unreal prawn
#

they only do that once per stage though

#

I was talking more of a roll percentage add

#

because I've been in situations here I take the arrowhead to summon Artemis first...and then no more Artemis throughout the stage...

#

kinda sucks

#

makes that keepsake a bit pointless to carry over something like a bloom or feather

#

Over the course of a stage you could gain a good 12%+ dodge or +3 levels for boons free vs carrying the god keepsake and getting no roll for that god

jaunty scroll
#

but them rare boons tho lol

unreal prawn
#

reroll is better

cedar cloak
#

I believe that forcing a god via keepsake does put it in the 'pool', which effectively does give an extra % to have their stuff spawn. I'm not sure if the effect of putting it in the pool that way is as strong a factor in it turning up again as having a 'natural' god

unreal prawn
#

get crap boon, find another god, reroll for a replacement, which is rarity+1

I kid, I usually don't use God's keepsake unless going for specific build/prophecy

I've had a hard time finding very specific information about how god offering probability/pool stuff works, but maybe that's good for the time being. keeps it unknown
@cedar cloak Maybe... But if you use tactics, u can end up with something like this:

#

Note a heroic lvl 3 in chamber 8 Tartarus, lol (started as a rare Ares, rerolled into Epic replacement by someone else, I don't remember, then rerolled into a Heroic Aphrodite - replacements keep the level and are +1 rarity to entice you xD)

Not that I'm looking for special info either, I just play the game. You find ways to use the mechanics to your advantage, RNG permitted

#

Dodge chance is multiplicative, not additive

#

To be more specific, instead of:
15% + 20% + 19.2% = 54.2

It is most likely calculated as this, with 1 being 0% dodge chance:
(1 - 0.15) * (1 - 0.20) * (1 - 0.192) = 0.54944 = (1 - 0.45056)

So you had roughly 45% dodge chance, as the number being subtracted from 1 is the percentage bonus

#

Not a small amount of dodge chance by any means, I just wanted to use this opportunity to clarify what I think is a common misconception

Very solid athena cast build. Interesting to note, with merciful end, it's actually more DPS to cast one at a time, rather than all at once, since each attack will only trigger doom once. It actually makes for a more steady stream of dps than bursty.

seriously tho the fates REALLY liked me on this run. Special does more dmg per hit and has +4 shots AND it had crit on it. Was basically melting the screen by tagging enemies with attack and one shotting them with chiron special. ||EM4|| ended in like 30 seconds literally not joking at all.

#

You just gotta limit your boon collection with rerolls

unreal prawn
#

Totally doable if lucky enough... the bloom gives +1 to a random boon after every 4 encounters (Styx has a LOT of encounters if you go thru all the tunnels), then you can find a duo boon that gives a +1 to all poms (so a normal pom becomes a +2, a double pom becomes a +3) so you try to get the poms, you could ask Eurydece to give a +4 if you meet her...

#

All you gotta do is make sure to ever have ONE levelable boon to make sure the random +1's apply to it

round sapphire
#

^

unreal prawn
#

You just gotta limit your boon collection with rerolls
@round sapphire Yeah, rerolls are good. On a good run I just reroll a special (especially for the bow) in the hopes that a replacement will roll. A replacement is always +1 rarity πŸ™‚

#

So I've sometimes ended up with a heroic boon early in Tartarus

#

Not bad when you end up with something like that in chamber 8 πŸ˜„

#

The 30 level Poseidon dash was before 1.0 so there was no pom blossom involved

He did use sweet nectar

Pom blossom probably could add like 10 levels on that
Not too much though since nectar and blossom do not synergize

#

at this point something like drunken dash is more funny, probably

Chiron crit builds do not mess around. Ignoring the lvl 5 call, I was still doing massive DPS. The call alone took Hades to half hp in his second phase. I wonder if it could have 1shot him if not for the HP gate.

EM4 Haddy? I won't say he never stood a chance cuz, ya know, two DDs lost...but he also got flattened.

#

Both the first two lifebars gone before he killed me once.
There is nothing Sea Storm and associated boosts cannot do. Nothing.

talking about a dream build come true, lucifer with epic Demeter attack, Dio special,Zeus cast and Athena dash

Probably the funniest build I've had, I just sat there, held mouse, and broke out the DAMAGE

why do people so often get hoarding slash on arthur? excalibur is much slower than the other aspects

Turning it down to FO1 instead of FO2 was probably the gamechanger. FO1 just gives you so much more time to react that I stopped dying to Asterius charges I couldn't react to.

Dark foresight + take boon > money > shop - always reroll hearts

#

@queen portal first of many!!

#

Didn't expect much from this run but who knew that having a ton of disparate boons meant big damage spam (also if anyone's curious that's the new chaos theme)

Big words for someone who only sat in the back, doing nothing, while the Minotaur did all the work. Theseus, you're no champ, you're nothing but a boastful Prick. God, it felt good beating him

Mmmm crits

#

@abstract veldt were you using pom blossom?

abstract veldt
#

I was @left wren

#

I wasn't very good at knowing where to reroll though

#

And didn't save fated tokens for styx

left wren
#

See thats what I dont like about pom blossom, it just seems to upgrade one single boon instead of random ones like its supposed to

yolo mouse helped a lot

#

the default cursor is pretty, but really small and blends in with the background well

@obsidian pebble thats the boon being displayed in the middle

obsidian pebble
#

does it have any purpose?

left wren
#

Let you know which one is being displayed so you click it and display something else

#

Is to make stuff easier

#

Save you time

#

Let's say you dont want to display piercing volley in the middle, now instead of looking through all them just look which ones are the ones pinned so you can find it easier

analog canyon
#

it’s for screenshotting purposes

left wren
#

Pretty much

#

Also just to look at a boon, if you have 5 selected and you want to look at another one, it won't show, so you have to unselect one of the 5
