@tender delta Its not gilgamesh build. it dash-aid build
@wide raptor wrong. #1) the dash aspect is made way, way better by Gilgamesh giving +2 (extra-fast) dashes! #2) the build is not just the lightning, though that's the fun flashy part. my attack boon, two chaos boons, and both daedalus upgrades affect the dash-strike I use via Malphon.

@tender delta Yup. you build is fun.becaus not FUN attack look like this.and have crits on 2k

idk why you're trying to argue about this dude. gilgamesh does several things: A modifies your special. B modifies your attack. C modifies your dash. you don't get to say "it's not a real gilgamesh build" if i lean into C and A but not in the weird arbitrarily-specific way you want me to. take a break buddy, everything doesn't need to be an argument. you don't have to "correct" everyone who is "wrong" about how they're victory boasting

persuasion spends time in the non-timed boon menus, EM2 groups heads together, FO1/2 for faster spawn times

My experience with that build has been to lead with Ares to aim for Merciful End but I admit part of that is bias towards Athena dash when it doesn’t do what you need

no shame in that, Chiron is very good for getting a handle on the bow
you may want to consider getting more defensive options on your cast and/or dash
i like poseidon or aphrodite cast, even athena cast and obviously athena dash
makes it much easier to play range builds and keep melees off your cases

Does sea strom trigger for each indivisual arrow of the special?

Lol, thanks for the tips. I used the bow a lot in the beginning but my damage output was always really low

Well, after my game crashed twice, and once during the boss fight I did end up beating ||Hades|| again. But after all that struggle I forgot to take a screenshot of the victory screen. The only big thing though was Dionysus' Trippy Shot. Pretty much the sole reason I won. Trippy Shot with purple rarity at level 2, using the spear. The only other thing was I think a Hermes ability that let me throw all my casts at once. Really helped lower the tedium.

which helped my reaction time
now I just can do it within 0.34

mint frigate
that looks like a fun build indeed
unreal arch

@bold aurora try the Daedalus mod that gives your special a huge aoe and 300% damage when you have the chance, everything becomes a happy accident

it's a competitor for best aspect in the game, if not the best
congrats on first clear!

crystal clarity talos is very clean, nice job

I used Crystal Clarity to damage Hades a bit while I hid behind a rock while he used his lasers
Well time to do it even more times to "beat" the game

I had a cast run to praise the big number club (ruthless reflex with 5 total dashes is a little fun)

"Alright, Zagreus, you called all of us. What is it?"
"Okay. Okay, guys, listen to me. You ready for this? Okay. What if Exagryph, but it's just cast stones?"
"Nephew, you are an absolute genius."
This was so absolutely stupid I love it all so much
the damage was ridiculous, I MELTED [redacted] by just casting point blank like three times
charred niche
i didn't get the boons I wanted, but I beat EM4 on my first try thanks to an absurd amount of HP lol
can't imagine doing it with all the penalties from 32 heat though 😅 I need a lot more practice before that

Messing around to see how high level of a boon I can get. Messed up a few spots, this can definitely get over 30. Not a bad first attempt tho imo

had an insane combo that melted hades almost instantly. It was heat-0, but the fact that it did so much dmg means it should still work in high heat

after I beat the game with god mode imma go back and bet it without

God the fists are my fav weapon

They just do so much damage so quickly

they are just fun imo

Aspect of Talos plus any Demeter boon is just a death sentance for any would be enemys
They are pretty fun
I havnt put on any heat levels yet, gonna do that in my next run

does LC4 affect guan yu/cursed slash/that one fist hammer as well?

5th speed run! 10 feel reachable—nice. Using hazard bomb was not the smartest with Eris, but it turned out okay.

Tried a boonless run, had to take 2 boons in Styx, but at least they didn't affect me, since I wasn't using my cast (Phalanx Shot and Exit Wounds). Couldn't be happier with the Daedalus upgrades for this run

Nah it was mvp
I kept it just so I could make a joke about it @ivory ocean also i dont remember a point in the run where i needed extra money

i can't get these insane Eris times for w/e reason. always feels really clunky waiting to absorb my special
light kayak
I suggest setting Rail Reload on LB instead of R3 if you're on controller!
Will feel way less clunky and try to reload while you throw out a special
left wren
Yeah there's a steam guide about a better controller layout
Dont know if its good or nah
light kayak
Havent looked at that, everything is personally fine for me besides the reload which I obviously changed
But that might help as well
Also Karpinskaya I would steer away from using poseidons special and mainly focus on someone like Aphrodite
bold aurora
maybe so
still shredded :)

I believe that with rocket cluster combo haha

Lvl 26 Heroic Heartbreak Flourish. I could have gotten it to level 31 had I not forgotten to put on Pom Blossom in Styx. At that point, the special was my only boon that could be leveled. I'm a bit sad I didn't get Pressure Points though

The Hades aspect for the Spear has quickly become my new favourite for that weapon after its buff a while back. This thing is just so much fun. Plus I got Exclusive Access in the middle of Asphodel which made this quick farming run a total breeze.

4 runs .. 4 wins ... djeezzzuuuss, tried to mimmick the run i did last with the rail .. ended up with a unlimited thunder bolt stack XD trollz
how do you get those beautifull things around your victory board ??

@unreal arch They're endgame contractor items, you need a lot of certain resources to purchase them

iiii sseeeee
let's goooo ;D hahah
almost unlocked all of the standard things from the first tab ^^
just need another 10 diamonds to finish the tab .. got 6 from the skelly thing, that really helped

2 more story ones, 2 more prophecy ones, and the rest are some challenge ones

and i see some have an icon in the bottom left too
steady jasper
@ripe finch game progression, youll eventually get to a point where you can buy the borders and the thing on the bottom left is a rank you buy
ripe finch
oh, i have that unlocked (the rank), but i havent wasted my precious darkness on it yet, lol
are the borders unlockable in the contractor? the things that cost like 10 ambrosia etc?
simple zenith
yep

oh nice! i wasn't sure what those unlocks did. thanks for the info.

@minor frost how long does the aspect of hades last on the spear at max rank?
worried ill spoil something if I google it

Think it's around 10 seconds?
If not it's still a decent amount of time
Certainly enough to provide near constant damage buffing

I am mad trying to get atleast 5 duo boons for a run and finally did it lol. Man. Talk about zeus duo boons having both zeus/dionysus and zeus/ares duo boons in one run was absolute mad to see all the thunder claps in the screen 😂 it really make my screen flashing all the time lol
tight umbra
I had one with four duos and a legendary a couple days ago

It is really hard to get legendary if you make duo boons build. But glad you got the legendary lol. I didnt get any legendary in this run set.
But now I am trying to get atleast 3 legendary in one run 😂

Good luck :)
