Picked the game up October 1st, been speedrunning Any Heat the past few days. Finally picked up a sub-9 run dusa (Ignore other run stats its haelian's full save)

So I tried what I thought would be a bad combo on Chiron, but turns out doing >200dps by hangover wasn't too bad

#

first clear! this game is great - that was a lot of fun - can't wait to get my clear time down to similar to the other runs posted here - basically just spammed my special and dash (never used attack or casting with this build)

#

beat first two bosses in first run, then hit a wall with third boss for about 5-6 runs, then beat hades first try - is there a way to increase difficulty now?

Finally got my first clear after about 30 runs. I'm not very good unfortunately. God Mode has been a saint! I love the game and I can't stop playing. I feel like I'm learning and getting better every time. I can't wait to go back! So while this is nothing near what others have done, I feel accomplished :)

New fastest clear time for me thanks to Eris rail. I really slept on this aspect during Early Access but god damn is it strong, I can see why it's the new meta. Would've shredded the run even more if my attack boon hadn't been common rarity I reckon.

So my buddy, Superblindman (who is 100% totally blind,) finally got through Asphodel's lava and proceeded to absolutely stomp the rest of the game. Thus proving that, with maximum effort, blind people CAN beat Hades. I seriously can't believe I just watched this. Holy crap.

I KNOW, RIGHT? I'm still floored. I'm so happy for my friend and for blind people writ large. I KNEW it was possible. Honestly, I couldn't believe he got it done as fast as he did. He's as determined as I am (but has much better luck than I do, lol)

I forgot to share this! I finished the main story of Hades few days ago and this is my best run yet. One of the best and strongest builds I have made. I was flying through the enemies like a freaking beyblade. It was fantastic!

took 3 total hits in that fight

#

Honestly, Scintillating feast made this run from a slow tedious task that I might be able to get through to a guaranteed victory, it was huge when I got it. Along with that Hermes boon that let's me throw all casts at once, which is just a good boon to get with Trippy Shot

#

Yeah, you could have had even better dodge if you had like, athena's call and hermes boon that let's you get dodge chance with call, which is pretty solid, I think there's also just a boon that gives you straight dodge chance, which it looks like you might already have

sacred gazelle
#

Yeah I skipped the dodge on call for something I don't remember, but I did have the 10% on hit to autododge

#

Wish it were that legendary 30% on hit I found once

First time getting the lazor to really shine, I pretty much facetanked Hades at the end, with a few dash sprinkled here and there. Insane damage.

Bad run ngl

#

First time with plume

autumn valley
#

I'm actually shaking right now... This whole run was a huge struggle.... I had nothing, nothing except for my cast.... I didn't know how powerful that lighting bolt could be but it was literally the only thing that carried the run. I had no death defies going to styx, up until the last half of elysium I had 75 max hp. Aphrodite's Life Affirmation probably over doubled my HP, and I had to use skellys tooth to survive Hades. But I did it in the end. Dude, it is so satisfying surviving through that, but phew, it is draining having to focus so hard on avoidance and getting those casts in to do the only damage I can.

#

took me nearly an hour, but I did it. I'm so mentally drained right now lol

#

Lol, also, I just realized that's a terrible highlight of boons, I was so surprised that I survived I sort of just picked the first ones I came across.

autumn valley
#

That's my first almost strictly cast based run, which is interesting as a concept because that doesn't change with each weapon, which means, it's entirely possible to win with most weapons, even just using casts, as long as you have the right build to benefit it, which you can sort of control with keepsakes, it's interesting.

so much so that I actually forgot to use my summon on dad zaglol

How do you use uncle siedon's call? i can never get a good use out of the thing

cobalt compass

you can use it for damage and like athena call or ares call to avoid something you're going to get hit by

if you spin in a circle, you can hit the same critter twice per minor call

so about 700-1k damage pretty easily per minor call

depending on how leveled

I had nothing but poms to go for lol so that's why it's so high leveled (and I had the duo)

quick question about that, when you choose your boons like those ones, do they permanently go away or

#

like what happens to the chosen boons

silk shard
#

What you choose on the victory screen is what boons (or aspect, keepsake, etc) to highlight.

#

The idea is to show off the best (or most important) things you had. The boons that made your run work.

#

Nothing goes away. I don't know what you meant by that.

okay cuz i freaked out when poseidon only had one option for a boon which was related to fishing

when i meant go away, i meant if it eliminates that boon from the list and it becomes not available anymore which doesn’t sound like that’s the case

Just to make sure; are you talking about the victory screen, or are you talking about getting boons from the gods?

the game normally doesn't offer you boons from more than 4 gods (not counting hermes). if you already have 4 gods, you won't normally get offered a 5th

@safe wing few questions about that rule

is it 4 gods per stage or is it once you have 4 gods the game won't offer more

the latter

and you can still force more with keepsakes

@fair gate if you do not take a boon from a good does it still lock it or will other gods roll until I grab one

Yeah

my favourite build for cleaning up hades and all the rooms in between .. so much fun!!
@unreal arch one of my favourites too, try adding poseidon dash, jolted, rapture, sea storm and if possible their legendaries. You'll find yourself cleaning rooms accidentally. I've just done this and hit my first 16 heat and EM4 at the same time, and it was only in 15 minutes.

unreal arch
#

maybe instead of ares go poseidon you say? that doessent sound bad either .. i just picked up ares on the way while i was going for the zues/arrow build .. for dash i really just like athena for the deflect .. i feel way more safe using her dash, but it imma try your suggesting tho .. sounds awesome to have poseidon instead of ares altho i look the doom effect with the crits , it give you real big numbers when you pop off

#

btw that was just on a heat 5 run so i am still kinda new.. will try EM2 next time, bumping it up a notch everytime i play untill i am comfortable playing at EM3

I've used Ares special, and all dmg too, but yes build was based on zeus and poseidon.

Alright then I did misunderstand the boon

#

I thought it was simply applying the doom damage

#

But in hindsight that’d be stupid powerful

sweet cliff
#

Nope it just removes the start up of the doom

errant valve
#

But there is a boon that lets you stack doom right?

sweet cliff

Yes its from ares

#

On Its base it does +10 dmg per stack

#

(Common rarity)

tame valve
#

yep Dire Misfortune

errant valve
#

Does that mesh with merciful?

#

Probably yes

#

But merciful isnt that useful with dire

Since you want to apply as much as possible

Sidenote: I’m surprised there isn’t a bot in here that will list a boon when called

molten shore

also first skull run

#

Nice! Here's a small tip if you want to get some easy heat modifiers without too big of a penalty try middle management and the first 2 levels of extreme measures those 2 aren't that bad of difficulty increases

molten shore
#

the 1 hit of dmg negated was easy enough to work through. but will do

dry warren
#

Sell-a-boon is a fun heat to play around, I’ve found

sweet cliff
#

Btw keep in mind that if you dont have all the bounties of the previous heat and you increase heat you still get the bounties from the previous heat.
For example: if you don't have all 0 heat bounties(titan blood, diamond, ambrosia) but you turn it up to 1 you are not missing out on the level 0 heat bounties

molten shore
#

oh nice

#

i have tons of heat 0 to work through i think?

#

since each weapon has its own blood/diamonds/etc

sweet cliff
#

Yeah every weapon has it's own bounties

#

But if it is too boring to keep the heat low there is no hurt in turning it up

molten shore
#

like skelly said when 'how do i track this'
"idk write it down"

sweet cliff
#

That was a small joke

#

Before you start a run there is a checklist

molten shore
#

oh on the modifier tab?

sweet cliff
#

Yeah

#

On the left side it tells you

molten shore
#

ah nice

sweet cliff
#

Wich bounties you have gotten
