36 down on another weapon
Iβll get their eventually
i had a very interesting build map wide deflecting crits was fun
i started this run as a meme, then realized halfway through elysium i only had 120 health and the build wasnt bad so.. here we are
When it's REALLY important to dash attack
Almost sad I didn't get any dash attack boons from Chaos π¦
Picked the game up October 1st, been speedrunning Any Heat the past few days. Finally picked up a sub-9 run
(Ignore other run stats its haelian's full save)
Absolutely OP rama run, but we aint in this for the heat, we n this for the story.
it's probably not a very impressive one, but this run was the one that got me my last achievement!!!
Just unlocked this aspect and kinda got some lucky boons,namely 2 from chaos
Only 4 heat btw
Thoroughly carried by afterparty this run. Double approval process is fun for memes.
Excellent Beowulf run with a rare title (I successfully beat 4 Erebus gates)
Extreme Measures 4
Blessed 20 Heat run
FO2 was so tough
I don't usually like the spear all that much, but this build really tears enemies up and it's so, so fast!
nice
nice
First time completing a run!
nice dude
Grats!
beat last 2 bosses using exclusively dash attack
This has to be the most OP build in the game. Hestia + tempest strike + razor shoals + sea storm + static discharge + privileged status
and the win streak continues . Also new time record
Beat 32 heat! Surprising easy, considering I didn't even get Hunting Blades
So I tried what I thought would be a bad combo on Chiron, but turns out doing >200dps by hangover wasn't too bad
Should really try to get low tolerance next time though
Cast cast cast, you gotta step on the cast
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?
sweet - thank you!
Is waiting for you
highest heat yet, honestly it wasn't as challenging as I anticipated so I'm gonna try for higher gonna give EM4 a shot next I think
Took me like 40 some tries for the stars to align and allow me to beat the 32 heat with Stygius
Very close call
Bonus daaamaaage. Just missing Eris aspect to really complete the ensemble.
You cleared. Thats impressive in itself.
wow guys look at my very sophisticated "build"
I think this the most boons ive ever had
new record too!
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 :)
only took 1 hit on hades, and got 2 legendaries and 2 duos
After 35 escape attempts, 10 of which were me instantly dying in the first stage, I have successfully escaped and I have an urge to punch Hades. Hooray
Dont let you memes be dreams
That's some prime chaos rng
40 on a new weapon
hot run
I have joined the 40 heat club
I was also invincible for most of the time
level 4 athena aid with epic quick favor
nice
First win with spear.
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.
the deed is done, first 32 heat
First escape finally!
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.
h o w thats insane
Doom spear seidan call crit attack athena dash?
I watched it. I witnessed it. It was insane. I am glad I warned him about Hades' reach.
damn
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)
My run is so lucky that I got 2 Duo. Blizzard shot and Mirage shot and 4 Cast stones, it melt boss so fast π
Robbed Thanatos while darkness farming. I need some fanart of Zagreus dabbing on Than. lmao
Did another Eris speedrun and managed to get a sub 13 minute run. This thing really is busted. Finally got that 'Swiftness of Hermes' victory title as well
Went for a splash dash gil run
Only Pos+Her boons allowed
Styx has never been so much fun
fastest ive ever got. I feel like Sanic
Not quite a speedrunner but I was so pumped to get under 10
i didnt know there was a title for beating than so bad 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!
By the way how do you guys get those cool themes on your victory screens? What unlocks them? What do they mean?
they're contractor upgrades late game
^
FINALLY beat Hades with the sword. Man do I hate that weapon!
I unlocked Arthur so I'll never have to use that wonky timing again! π
Uh?
Not a great run in particular, just here to show off my first border on the Hellmode save.
NEW ANYHEAT WR?? (this is a glitch for anyone who thinks im being serious) in any case lightning phalanx + mirage shot erases rooms
damm though, that's going to look nice on your spear page.
i wont be able to remember any of my pbs anymore haha
@royal current I can't explain it better than "it feels really wonky to use."
gilgamesh dash build
turned em4 back on
PUNCHYGLOVE GOOOOO
original build didnt work out due to RNG, so relied heavily on my call to win. barely scraped through at the end
T Pose build almost complete
lmfao t pose build
dont forget you can use PrtScr (PrintScreen) to just screenshot your monitor and then paste it in here
or if you have multiple monitors Alt-PrtScr to just screenshot your active monitor
F12 on steam
alt+prtscr should do the job
i cant imagine why it wouldnt work unless youve somehow broken your PrtScr button
Never used it, but I did just take the keyboard apart for cleaning earlier this week
Nothing seemed out of place though

its usually to the left of Scroll Lock above the numpad various keyboard have different layouts so cant give any better hint than that
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
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.
Leaving this build is like leaving your girlfriend of 10 years, not because either of you want to, but because you have to. That was good.
it's raining crits
more target practice
Someone likes Artemis
got Attack, Special, and Dash all from Poseidon combined with Sea Storm so was just zapping everything constantly
4 health btw
Never been so scared in my life
Bad run ngl
First time with plume
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.
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.
Nuclear launch detected
does it work on bosses?
All the duos, too bad no splitting bolt
Did this yesterday.
Just messing around with Achilles and festive fog since i rarely use them, and oh boy
ah, i mean trippy shot
when you are at the anvil with a pretty free win and tell yourself "hey, let's try to roll into cluster rockets" but then you roll into hazard eris. Disaster.
Working on pushing my heat up, finally getting used to the speed increase from Forced Overtime, so I've been adding in Extreme Measures now.
This one felt good ^^
the drunken strike carried /s
ffs this game, 0 damage
Ohhh, this was a fun build to take through! Cash Rules Everything Around Me.
Turns out a good way to beat EM4 forced overtime Hades is to perma charm him 
popped off when i won. been trying 32 heat for a while with rail and gave up and got it first try with fists
@iron thistle what sort of build did you use when you got 32 heat with blade? probably my worst weapon
also those are some absurdly good times across the board lol
real proud of that win huh π
With 30% atk speed from hermes gotten from styx shop. That was as ridiculous as expected.
God bless Artemis and her big ol critties
Crits for days plus the insane damage buffs from aphrodite is absolutely brutal
Took dad down in like a minute 15
I read that as 15 minutes, and I was just impressed that you survived that long
@analog canyon no, I just wanted to link the second pic in #test-branch-discussion to show somebody the Deadly Strike/Flourish bug in the current branch lol.
@lime bane bruh 52? What did you run?
what changed in 1.0? Iβm playing on switch
Not like patch notes, but anything notable that would have made 52 a lot different
Any particular builds you use or is it different for each weapon? Iβve got 32 heat on 2 of the weapons (bow and fists) and trying to do for all
probably better to ask in #h1-high-heat-strategies
@modern bane thanks mate
For 32 with the sword I used Arthur, its strengths really shine at higher heat
first time through I /almost/ beat him, I got hades down almost all the way. He had maybe 100HP left, and then I got in my head and couldn't get past Lernie for a couple of tries, so I did god mode. I'm lame, but... I did it.
i've never seen those side things
yeah his monitor is wide
It's a Dell 3419w. Not a great gaming monitor, but good for work stuff. You can turn them off in the settings and just leave it blank, but the sides look nifty.
came into styx with 1 dd (lost 2 from em3 heroes), lost the last one to a trap which I stupidly got hit by, but athena came in clutch with both death defiance boons and I was able to win!
@royal current is that the gems theme?
yes
alright thank you
its slick
yeh i like it
after 333 tries, EM4 dad 32 heat beaten +w+
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/523766637757726722/769340048943611924/unknown.png
Not bad, a PB with merciful end at the elysium end shop
My first time π
π
first duo drop and first clear using the gloves π very different play style compared to the bow
ended up trying godmode for this one - neat how game keeps track of the normal run times/clears separate from godmode
it was also a fishing bonus run π fun to collect so many fish
Hades is the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything. My first 42 π
hunting blades and flurry cast helped a bit too.. but big chops are nice
Easily the most fun sword build I've had yet. SO FAST
Had turned off my death defiance with intentions of throwing the run just to talk to nyx but the boons just kept getting better haha
32 heat with Hades spear
(Almost) boonless run
I just finished the game with demeter legendary boons and I love how she will shout out of nowhere when you kill hades. (Her boons will instant kill enemy on 10% hp) didnt know it will work on boss too :0
Ice Wine has carried me for three of my last five clears, but I think this is where it shined the most.
not rly a "victory" boast, but... nice.
nice
nice
nice
@lime bane 26 heat Guan clear? beast
No heat but I had 3 legendaries (artemis, demeter and dionysus) and two duos helping Festive Fog, 10/10 super fun run
If only I ran Poseidon
got extremely lucky boons for my cast build
FINALLY beat EM4 shout out to Athena for my tank build
One of my best farming runs like holy crap
Even had amazing build
Went from 400 darkness to 2.9k
500 gems to 1.5k
linking this image next time someone asks about a "good build for GY"
344 for non crits, 1032 for crits, 569 against armor, and 1707 for crits against armor
jesus
me dash
accidentally left the victory screen, my urge to kill myself has never been stronger
anyways, first sub-20 min run on Switch. Being able to dash to any direction around 360Β° feels so nice
Another run saved by Skelly, surprised I survived there for a while. The exploding special on spear is too good.
My first Heat 16 clear, as well as a new personal best time. Run was super clean. Sack was second tunnel, so could have been quicker. edit: Second tunnel is the fastest you can get it. Good to know!
Well now I know. Always thought it could be the magical one-hitter.
Yeh is from he 2nd and on
Finally beat 4EM
40 remains impenetrable for me lol, but putting another 32 on the board
chiron build where i didn't get what i wanted early on, so i pivoted hard around Trippy Shot
worked out i guess
also: Tartarus Exclusive Access feels good
just look at all that purple 
Tartarus Exclusive Access is best
Aspect of L- with Doom stacking and Curse of Longing outputs quite a lot of damage with concentrated fire, up to about 800 at a time, then repeating at 50% with CoL. Just wish I had gotten the Boon to extend the weakness duration.
i prefer chiron but after the nerf, have to play hera to have big damage π¦
First heat 32 clear!
Not a victory yet, but I have flurry jab, epic rift blade, epic deadly strike, hunting blades, and an extra cast - essentially an end game build at chamber 7 on 40 heat
that was fun
I was trying to get curse of drowning for the prophecy, and also farm a little darkness and ended up with my fastest run yet, and my 50th clear!
behold the buewolf payload build
maybe this looks better
you charge in
drop all the crystals
big explosion of crits
5 crystals drop
boom lightning
patrick came in clutch with the kiss of styx premium 4 death defiances
sorry uh where does the 4th dd come from?
chaos legendary i assume
new record π
nice!
triple legendary, double duo run. why must my luck be wasted on such an incoherent build?
Took another try at going fast, this was really fun! Didn't get any of the duos until right at the end, and probably shouldn't have fought charon early like I did but I wanted to have fun π
this run was crazy strong. ( also new record time) !
grats!
wow 32 heat, congrats! And a quick time to boot!
overtime but hes too busy being charmed to actually hit me
First sub 10 min clear, Eris smashed it
Could have been quicker with Zeus legendary
this build is broken EM4 was easy as. You guys have to try out zeus pho combo on Chiron bow (sorry about the dual monitors)
new PB with fists
Was supposed to be a meme run with Hoarding Slash, ended up being the easiest 40 clear i have ever had. Oops!
don't look at records, it's a speedrun file

@gleaming nest love the transistor background
Some strong stuff 
strong enough to do 2400 in four casts I guess
discounting Scintillating feast there btw
strong enough to knock gods off their feet
Eris OP
I had the dream ME run
I just finished a run where I had 8 consecutive dashes (and 4 duo boons)
yes this is the best use of my limited time on this earth why do you ask
Oops! I did it again..! 
Aspect of guan yu? Did you mean aspect of stress?
π©οΈ 40 Heat Shield by channeling the power of Zeus π©οΈ
when pom blossom said random but still hits Zeus Aid 7 times in a row
please excuse me while i break down emotionally and cry in the fetal position π
Look at all these duos!
Wow haha nice
first ever sub 20 run
this run was absolute hilarity the moment I bought Poseidon's boon from the last shop and it gave me Mirage Cast, also beaten Charon
Just me going for duos
And legendaries which didnt go as planned was trying to get 2 others
Just finished 32 Heat on each weapon! Spear was such a pain.
Nicely done @tepid latch !
@iron thistle Thx, I see you only have 2 to go yourself!
who are you high-heat gods :O
Beat 32 heat with all weapons 
Ayy nice job!
Thanks mate
this run felt so good cuz of doom damage man... do like 400 per proc
alongside with zeus chains for clear
So Blade Rifts are preeeetty good (8k damage off Greater Call, finished off Hades from half health)
Kinda committed to special fist dem but id love to rerun and and invest in trippy shot instead
Finally a sub 15 run π₯³
even though Daedalus did not want to help me the slightest bit, & I didn't have any attack boon for the first half of the run... geez
i cant seem to post images on other channels, but does anyone know what the song that says "???" is?
@modern bane its Good Riddance
ah okay thx. do you by any chance know how to get it? it isnt showing up on the list of songs to buy @ionic owl
Talk to Euridice a lot and she might give the music
I really hope they make a collection of this amazing game, like an artbook, the soundtrack obv, maybe a Cerberus plushie!!
Omg I would buy that in an instant
You can get the soundtrack on cd and vinyl on supergiantβs store
Oooooooh nice π
sickest build ive done so far .. creating big rifts with a +1 dash together with the cast dash and pairing it with the legendary boon ... sick .. 5rockets that produce rupture and a normal attack that does jolted and arrows flying everywhere making crits so easy to pop .. the damage output was insane that run .. ez win
No screnshot, but i finally got ||mom back home||
yes!! awesome scene am i right ?
wait for the first time you get back up there after that scene :p
If i had an epic autoreload i couldve had 5 om screen at once but only managed to get 5 then instantly disappeared
Pretty fun build
Beats actually trying to use gy
After 74 damn tries I finally did it!
Apparently most people do it in 20, guess you could say I'm a bit slow xd
this build keeps on beeing fun .. it's my go to for winning with the rail gun
This wound up being an incredibly silly combo [[exagryph hidden aspect]]
not too bad for my first real attempt at a speedrun in a long time
smashed my previous record by almost 4 minutes lol
9 win streak , let's go .. have turned god mode off after returning the queen and have deafeted hades twice after ^^ happy results
after all this i can't seem to find the vendor for all the ''finished'' frames ...
i wanted to do the text tbh XD
Managed to make it to the Big Guy after just five runs in Hell Mode. Feeling motivated π
aaaand another one
My first time ever putting EM4.. oh god how would I even win without the shield??
rocket launcher
Mega fast attacks and plentiful blasts
Aspect of Chiron with these boons... truly unstoppable.
this was a nice combo to have some fun with ....
first ever sub-20 run!
Can you send pictures here
is chrion special good with doom?=
this run was harder than it needed to be ... demeter on the special ... wtf ... had zeus on last run and went way smoother
oh its the wrong channel lol oops
Surprisingly wasn't that hard, build went really well I must say
not bad for a newb
sub 10 with achilles spear!
this build was pretty crazy and fun lol
Thatβs almost the speedrun setup lol
I can see how, I got a lot of those boons really late but my dps for the final fight was really high
Poseidon dash tho
amazing build for my first 40 heat with hidden bow aspect
Personal best 
Nothing super impressive, but a single volley chunked a fourth from dad, was pretty funny
With the timer, since that matters
Just thought it was a fun run, not anything impressive, just love the Crit Chiron bow
yeah its super good
tfw you miscounted how many summons you used and went into the hades fight with all 5 gone. Ugh. Still an excellent run tho. I know 27 heat isn't particularly special but imma post it anyway after
40 heats on all weapons done π
the real alpha warden
grabbing that Ichor at the last minute really helped a lot here
My first 3
Lotta duos
First set of 10 push ups! My fans called this the ZF1 (from 5th element)
MY FIRST EM4 RUN!
I wanted Fully Loaded, but i guess this works
I wanna do this build again this was too much much fun
lowest health possible with max hidden spear + darkness health from contractor
now this was OP
This was my most WTF win so far. I basically didn't need the gun.
my first 32 win ^^
won for the first time π
the zeus boon that makes the cast ammo that lies around the ground shock people is pretty strong it seems
EM4 NO HIT HADES
Kinda forgot to highlight the important stuff but i had +4 special shots and +50% crit damage to weakened foes. I also had +20% special speed
And a 60% damage up from Chaos
thats some insane rng for a run 
Yeah
what a lucky anvil... styx and most of the run was horrible to play until I got rocket bomb (played most of the game with no attack boon out of stubbornness) but once I got the anvil this shotgun-like build did about 2.5k per special... absolutely nuts
so much so that I actually forgot to use my summon on dad 
How do you use uncle siedon's call? i can never get a good use out of the thing
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)
oh so i just have bad timing. i get panicky and use the call after I get hit 
I beat the boss in 2:51 using my patented strategy βno think ||Gilgamesh||β
My first 16 heat win with a real banger of a build. It almost went totally wrong in Asphodel when Chaos forced me to not see rooms for pretty much the whole thing and I missed artemis entirely but uh... everything worked out.
Just had my first run without dying
Aspect of talos fists with a bunch of weakening and hangover effects
forgot to screenshot it but I felt like a god
I got the boon that allowed more hangover to stack if foes were weakened, also had the boon that made weakened foes more susceptible to damage
That is a crispy combo
Should looked harder for arts extra casts
so I might be in love with Chiron bow
My first win!
pog i killed hades again
When your \boons come together at the end
Carried by Athena's call
first em4 win with a doom/deflect + revenge build
still almost lost tho cuz of the freaking doomstone summon
The first clear
Nice!
That felt good π
@hollow canopy only 2 clears?
Yet you got that victory screen?

The chaos theme, right? Needs 25000 darkness
@hollow canopy hope your mirror is maxed out :D
i heard you liked hunting blades
aspect of poseidon + exit wounds
good money run
Huge damage pulses
finally killed hades for the first time using varatha with the aspect of aquiles
my fastest run once again, on a random warmup holy
I might actually go for sub 12 at this rate 
im happy
People aren't kidding about Eris, it ramps up the damage a lot.
i should sink some more blood into Eris
2nd win
Aspect of Poseidon: A Crushing Victory. (I almost got done in by the Anvil, though).
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
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 doesnβt sound like thatβs the case
Just to make sure; are you talking about the victory screen, or are you talking about getting boons from the gods?
If it's the latter, you really should be in #h1-for-new-players
iβm talking about the victory screen
i made it passed hades like 3 times by now
First victory I've had I think ever where I didn't lean on Demeter or Artemis
clutched hades just now with the 4th aspect of the spear with no res
BIG
that special damge
Maaan the damage was just insane
aspect of hera with a good cast ability is pretty good, helps to get good attack abilities as well
not even close
"In the name of someone very sore right now"
Thought I shouldn't go EM4 this run since I only needed six heat.... turns out I could have used the practice π
i really liked my boons this run
45 with Hestia π
nice, just followed you on twitch after seeing that nerves of glass π
Now do boonless
Oh for sure
prob not on a deadline tho but yeah i could
Sponsored by shattered shackle
shield + infinite time = pierced butterfly time
Nah, just get shattered shackle
which one is that
Your abilities without an actual boon do more dmg
i dont even bother attacking except to block
level 23, lmao pom is great
i prob could've had more but i wasted rolls on god rooms
and last 2 styx chambers were gods i didn't want to sully with


Well this was a fun way to end a session lol
Two down, four to go
First 16 Heat run 
I'm finally improving!!!
I did a crystal beam run, and it went amazingly well
Didn't even die, what a chad
Oh this was a run Rama run.
almost got all the 24s, nice
Who needs Death Defies when you use the bow and it's crazy powerful? Also got quite a few duos for my prophecies which is nice.
Also completed some pacts I hadn't done yet. So that was nice. I was mostly trying to make as much prophecy progress as I could.
labored breathing EM4 final boss beaten on the first try!
Dem beams tho
Beautiful beam
The damage is just hella strong
Not a victory yet, but already amazing
(Deadly strike, drunken flourish, passion dash on Chiron Bow)
gratz lets see how long this streak lasts ^^
Everything went so right
about 238 damage per hangover tick
sometimes over 300 because of ruthless reflex
wth
thanks to good RNG... but that damn 20% speed heat thing was terrifying on theseus and hades
weird run where i somehow got boons from 5 gods
the average is 4 + Hermes, you will typically come out with +25% bonus damage from Family Favorite.
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
Just did my first no death EM4 run https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/591610799932309522/770655837059416074/unknown.png
@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
hermes and chaos are excluded tho
and you can still force more with keepsakes
Super soaker water gun lol, almost failed, got sea strom as my last boon
@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
you mean like, you see it on a door but donβt take that door?
Yeah
yeah those donβt count; itβs only the ones you pick up
im pretty sure it unlocks if you sell all your boons from a god yeah
Oh OK
Super soaker water gun lol, almost failed, got sea strom as my last boon
@glossy yarrow why you no taking the easy heat stuff π€
damage control is so chill
i was just farming quest when luck punch me in the face luckily i also unlock my fist last transformation .
I mean... flawless victory on Hades
First H32 Clear!
nice!
a nice run
How do you get the unique victory screens? I've seen a lot of people with the chaos one but they all look really cool
Ah okay
I'm at the point where everything I get from the contractor is purely decorative
I dedicate this victory to you, good shade!
almost sh! myself for a few minute there . also can some give me tip about this new weapon form?
oh gilg? um
these are the two main strats in gilg meta atm:
- Use merciful end
- Hope it gets buffed
while it only happend once it was nice to see a 2.5k Doom dmg tick XD but yeah gilg feels kinda wierd ... maybe i need to get it on max
So, first win, felt really good about it and everything, but
Game fucking crashed immediately as I got the screen so
To the game, I never even won


this was such a good run for me, each volley did like 2.4k damage
only thing i could have prayed for was Artemis crit instead of cold
Probably the fattest damage I've had, ever
this was fun , sadly diddent get the dio afro duo boon , highest heat run so far
11 π with 3 sack as well
wauw that's fast
love athena/doom builds
https://prnt.sc/v87xcc my fastest run yet, doom is quite the alternative to Zues if he never appears.
http://puu.sh/GHdGW/befefbe019.jpg Missed meg in tartarus that made me lose the sub 7 
sub 7 
Yeah is top tier right now
finally, after so long
Pog
Did a Godless run using Sisyphus
keepsake, they actually have a special line if you die against spoiler while having no god boons π
Sisyphus keepsake is so good
Went from thinking i'll never get anywhere in early access to thinking i'll never get past Elysium on release to finally beating EM Hades today. I'll be taking a break now, many thanks to Supergiant and everyone who's answering questions on #h1-for-new-players

This was fun lol
I just stopped dodging, can you blame me #NintendoSwitch https://t.co/yw54yfkr4s
51 win streak while climbing heats, and the most nutty run ive ever had just now
win by only making enemies drunk%
45 Heat with Demeter fists!
Whats that warden thing on the bottom mean
This was a pretty solid Poseidon Build, it absolutely slays with the Rail
@foggy python ||After the very end of the story, you can start to spend resources on badges. They don't do anything in game, it's just something to do with resources after you've bought everything. That one I have is just the first level ||
guan yu is real and i love it
12-Heat and my new PB on Fists, and overall. Could have been a spicy time but 4-tunneled the Temple. 
Not so much flexing the heat as the build. Dash-strike, and only dash-strike. Each one hit for around 700. Very dumb, and possibly the most fun I've had in a run.
I really pushed it with this one lols
funny run
13 minute final boss fight with stubborn roots
"sell almost all of your boons and stubborn roots your way through hades"
"Walls? What are those?"
550% backstab dmg on Arthur... doing 1900 on third strike on dad... also + 188% attack dmg... and +30% attack speed from hermes... had a 5k crit too... my eyes...
second try on 32 heat straight after beating 16 
Following up my post a couple hours ago, new new PB. Heat progression on Rail, and trying to play faster. 3-tunneled the Temple. Room for improvement.
still early heats and i wasn't confident with this at all but three last second athena calls on low life just face tanking the lasers won it for me
worst set ever somehow worked carried by vengeful mood
What was being revenged?
doom
^
Is it written somewhere or can you tell from the pictures?
Grats, nice
I dunno if this counts as a victory
But I just reached 10 days since I first bought and played the game, and 60+ hours... holy crap, I never even felt them pass by
If you think its a victory, who are we to say otherwise
love u too
Nice one, still on 45 hours myself but damn this has been quite a fun ride
As in, final boss
Absolutely> Nice one, still on 45 hours myself but damn this has been quite a fun ride
@mild sapphire
as in 1st escape?
as in 1st escape?
@ionic owl Correct hahahahaa gameβs kicking my ass, but Iβm loving it
yeah lmao my 1st escape was god mode on
Wow hahahahaa congrats
I dunno, kind of wanna see if I can make it w/o god mode on, but if push comes to shove, Iβll do it, just to progress the story and unlock all of that post-game stuff that supposedly opens the game up for infinite replayability
Hahahahaaa awesome
how did u escape at try 15 thats amazaing
Iβve heard of people escaping at 27, but 15? Thatβs awesome
By kiting everything with the adamant rail for 50 minutes
Hahahahahahaha
50min in game, 5 years irl
New PB on Fists. Not so much time or heat but some gross Chaos boons, ha.
sub 15m nice
Twin Fists are really fun, nice
Big fan for sure. Highly recommended for those early looking for an aggro weapon that is a very engaged playstyle.
God this was a fun one
@errant valve it is not written, you need to tell from the icons
father and son bonding
Adamant rail has easily become my favourite weapon on this run
finally cleared EM4. that ||third phase|| is rouuuuugh
one dash gang ^
@forest crag hestia became my 2nd fav weapon recently as well lol
@hasty harbor yeah I'm trying to get used to it. Esp if you can swing by and grab Hermes at some point you can be as good as you'd normally be but with a nice near-constant damage boost!
||rama|| bow feels pretty nice might try on higher heat
I got perfect hammers tho im pretty sure
Is it written somewhere or can you tell from the pictures?
@errant valve I know the pictures sorry
merciful end fists with epic greatest reflex is still my fav fun build 
finally beat 43 with rama, keeping hades CCed 70% of the time is nice
My first 40+ heat ! https://i.gyazo.com/d9fe29f69c8748a80b7ace3b11a7852c.png

A pretty funny run. I got Hoarding Slash right out the gate, so saved up money until Styx. I took the Anvil and spent all my money. When I saw I got Cursed Slash, thought I was done. But with the Flurry, I attacked so fast, that I deflected most attacks, and didn't even proc Defiance
Nice job!
here goes my first secret aspect run
(Poseidon boons are for dash)
also, bought anvil at the end
got Draining and Flying Cutter
lost Explosive Upper
I am speed
God peed
another 32 with new lucy
Pretty great it didn't gray out the duos
speed kill hades with 53 second in game timer
HEAT 32 LETS FKING GOOOOOOOO
A great time.
we zoomin
I seem to get really good luck whenever i use chiron bow
A cast build for once on Beowulf aspect. 5 casts vs Hades = 3500 dmg one hit
@mild sapphire wdym gray out
Didn't let than get one kill
OMG... I went into Hydra heat 11.. with exactly 11 health.... and I survived.. with 8 health left...
didnt lose a death d.... lost that previously..
3 dmg I took.. was tough..
First clear at 32 heat
Did 32 heat with the rail, only two more weapons to go!
All 0 heat weapons done yay
Only used BS duos for *checks notes* 5 of them!
Oh I didn't take a screenshot dang
Tried out a derpy evasion/dodge build. Could effectively % dodge the 360-attack at the end, ha. Damage was a bit lacking but this was pretty fun. Decent time, and some Heat progression. 
I'm noob. But that was my most disgusting run. On top of that, I was full Triple Bomb with heroic Poseidon boon. Amazing Cast + Specil build
finally got that last skelly statue...
Aspect of Arthur w/ Artemis on attack, already doing 500+ damage on most hits by chamber 3. With the blade rifts most enemies didn't last more than 3 seconds 
Just realized I accidentally selected Battle Rage instead of Black Metal for this screencap 
Sub-15 with a CQC Rama Bow. My first run with it, and wow, it hits like 5 trucks.
First time beating Hardest Dad (100% damage, EM4, +30% health, Middle Management, 400% trap damage, the works)
This build was beautiful. Achilles cast damage is insane, but Arctic Blast with the ridiculous amount of Crystals, with even the mirages building freeze really pushed it over the edge. Any time I got in some remote trouble, Poseidon call away.
i just kept grabbing duos to fill out the codex but charming hades was amusing
hunting prophecies, 1200 dmg trippy flare
5 lightning rockets to the face is very fun
@left wren was playing with the heat thing that randomly deletes one option from each boon selection
ah
I just run the list of all heat options through random.org and lets it choose which to pick for each run
me: i bet it'd be fun to do achilles spear hunting blades on EM4. oh, cool, i have both ares cast and artemis attack in tartarus
the game: lol
(somehow no hunting blades, fully loaded, or even vicious cycle. i think the game hates me. the run before this, i had ares attack and athena special in tartarus, but didn't get merciful end until the styx fountain room. got half a dozen other ares and athena boons that i didn't need, though.)
Wasn't sure how I'd feel about Beowulf + Festive Fog, but hooo boy does it work well. And when I got the Charged Shot for Bull Rush it basically turned into a delete button.
Dionysus' Aid helped get rid of any high health enemies and bosses that wouldn't go down in one hit
heartbreak strike on attack, deadly flourish on special and heart rend on chiron is disgusting and i love it
Ngl gy is kinda trash to me
Even with this great a setup i felt like i did no damage
And only 4 heat lol

full vid of the run will be up soon 
It looks like you were using Rama attack as a shotgun blast?
yeah, pretty much
Got credits last night
got this one yesterday, soooo did I finish Hades then? 
gratz!
Blade Rift go VRRRRRRR
i tried to go for a run where i tried to get as much max hp + as possible but i died to the final boss sadly :(
im gonna try again later but im wondering if there will be a special victory comment on that info banner about having a ton of hp
O_O
got it!
i didn't manage to get dionysis's nectar boon but still got pretty high
"minotaur's toughness" and im assuming it's referring to the high max hp
How'd you get it so high besides Arthur/the collar? Just always going for the heart?
yup!
going for the heart at every opportunity
if not, then darkness or charons shop
charons shop has a chance of having a heart and late game darkness also gives a small health boost
also met thanatos on this run β€οΈ
Got this on Tuesday but I forgot to share it. Robbed Thanatos back in Tartarus
what?? how?
in the death contest I got all the kills and he got 0
oohhh wow haha that's halarious
I didn't think the game would acknowledge that and say Robbed Thanatos on the win screen lmfao
I'm glad Hades didn't yeet me when I got to him otherwise I wouldn't have gotten that win screen
i wondered if there would be any special dialogue or smth for X-0 kills but i've never been able to do it orz
he always gets at least one
I don't think there's any special dialogue although knowing this game he might bring up later and be mega salty about it
makes me wonder what other things we can unlock by doing very specific things 
OH what if you beat it with no boons? is that even possible?
impossible
jfdkaslf
i think, with enough dice you could reroll any boon chamber rewards you run into and make them something else like coins
and otherwise just, try to avoid boons
"i'm gonna try it" - my last words
nice
nice 
dude I was there like a few days ago
nice
I did the thing! \o/
easy shield run
I conquered 40 heat for the first time after 40 hours playtime Feelsgoodman
Me finishing that hera bow run
Finally beat my anyheat pb https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/523774798896300032/771178575004696576/20201028175854_1.jpg
so it turns out i use achilles spear basically like zag spear
it also turns out that barely mattered
oh u really dont
it's just for the badge
dad explains it himself when u first unlock the resources director, theres no actual use/benefit
it's just for pride n ur own accomplisment
Just finished em4. second try
Finally hit that 32 heat with a melee weapon, now to figure out a sword and a spear win
A small victory, but a victory nonetheless:
This has the unique ... title? Subtitle? "The Big Five-Oh!" which you get for your 50th victory.
What is that called anyway? The words underneath the big "V I C T O R Y !"?
fun fun invulnerability
Damn I want these cool theme but I'm playing on Switch π
@silk shard Darkest Dungeon reference?
the words underneath victory are basically references
to things you did in your run
The big five-oh refers to your 50th clear
and it's an...
run clear message that's it
@slow stream Yes, it is a DD reference.
And I knew that the message was a reference to something you did in the run. I just wanted to know what it was called.
ya sorry reading comprehension xD
I just beat ||Pact of punishment Hades|| and I feel unreasonably proud
I dont have a screenshot but I did get an 8:04 time, if it was a 2 sack it would have beaten my PB and have been around 7:40
my favourite build for cleaning up hades and all the rooms in between .. so much fun!!
Wow, finally came back to the game post-release and finished run #39 with the bow.
https://imgur.com/a/aGaEowG
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.
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.
yeh i also got ares special but if you go for poseidon you would pick poseidon special as well .. sounds fun .. imma try it next time
first attempt at speedrunning
Won my first game on my Switch!!!!
My first time using this build, and I finally understand why everyone loves Chaos shield:
Also, I caught a Sturgeon! AND a ||Projelly!||
Finally joining the high(ish) heat scene:
hit elysium boss on 3rd run of the game, but i think i built the bow OP lol
Finally joining the high(ish) heat scene:
@hot hedge wtf you're clearing 32 faster than i do without any heat :))
was a test run while farming for dark but yeah this build was exactly as OP as I expected it to be
Well, I thought I had 100% dodge chance, but apparently it was just really close.
Er, should probably have the whole shot
my first sub 20
i was doing so much damage with my dash attack; I had the 70% + on dash with artemis and double dash attack + 20% damage hammer
So without a crit, if I did a backstab on my third swipe (excalibur) I think thats about 2300 damage a hit
2nd Skelly statue done.
69 streak, along with some "only one boon" shenanigans
Got another victory today. Not my best but still pretty good
The Gilgamesh gloves are extremely fun. Iβm gonna go with the in game timerβs time and not the clear time it recorded
Alright kinda conflicted on weather to even post this because the run was so bad, but my god look at that death defy bar! I had to throw in the tooth just to make it full on ridiculous.
dont mind me, just running very far away and lobbing rockets at my enemies
bombs* really
there was so much lightning and arrows
Needless to say, this was my easiest EM4 clear by far.
1400 crit damage, this was pretty good
I've been going for better times with my last few runs (and also claiming the zero heat bounties for killing the final boss) and I managed to beat my personal best by around five minutes
Messed around with Demeter and Aphrodite, can't say I was disappointed.
i feel like doom didn't consistently activate with each dash, or i didn't understand the duo correctly.
Please consider this my official request for an F.
i feel like doom didn't consistently activate with each dash, or i didn't understand the duo correctly.
@errant valve
You need to hit a enemy with the attack that has deflect in your case you gotta dash into them I think
Yeah I was constantly dashing but it seemed to only activate occasionally
Dashing into the enemy?
Yeah
once a doom effect is activated, it disappears so u have to apply it again
^
Alright then I did misunderstand the boon
I thought it was simply applying the doom damage
But in hindsight thatβd be stupid powerful
Nope it just removes the start up of the doom
But there is a boon that lets you stack doom right?
yep Dire Misfortune
Does that mesh with merciful?
Probably yes
But merciful isnt that useful with dire
Since you want to apply as much as possible
Sidenote: Iβm surprised there isnβt a bot in here that will list a boon when called
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
the 1 hit of dmg negated was easy enough to work through. but will do
Sell-a-boon is a fun heat to play around, Iβve found
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
oh nice
i have tons of heat 0 to work through i think?
since each weapon has its own blood/diamonds/etc
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
like skelly said when 'how do i track this'
"idk write it down"
oh on the modifier tab?
ah nice
Wich bounties you have gotten
It only shows it for the weapon currently equipped so keep that in mind
