eris rail smooth sailing, with early pom bonus, zappy splashy dashy
Well this was mildly broken
I had all defiances going into Hades but I just face tanked him because I wasn't going to lose
first winn
i def couldve done better against Hades though
i had all death defiances including skelly's tooth + nearly full health but i still took too many hits
crit damage from special + thrust was basically guaranteed which let me do really well
any tips for future runs with other weapons?
it happened
Not even close
I had 0 death defies in Elysium on my 32 heat run, then I got the Chaos Legendary Boon and the very next room was Patroclus.
BEST RUN LAST NIGHT
I had 0 death defies in Elysium on my 32 heat run, then I got the Chaos Legendary Boon and the very next room was Patroclus.
@glacial dome what was your Chaos legendary boon?
Chaos' legendary is Defiance (gives +1 use of death defiance)
Well yeah, is legendary
maybe I should go to Chaos more
You should go to chaos every time
should I go to Chaos while in Elysium?
i never get chaos as much as i'd like
what if I face Theseus after I got the curse?
you can check your current chamber number when pressing b; theseus is 36 (unless something unusual happened to offset it, like grabbing a chaos boon in the last chamber before the empty chamber/shop before a boss)
I think Chaos boon are the most powerful
I lost some runs due to his/her boons at first
but now I have the skill
there is 1 boon that getting +17% rare boon that requires +300 something% damage from traps
I don't like it
Look at the chamber numbers try not to get a curse as bad if its going to last until champions
Just dont step on traps 
Jk
I may or may not have lost a run or two due to me not paying attention to chamber and going chaos, and then doing something dumb like picking a boon that causes me to take damage when I attack when it's my best skill for damage. But now that I'm better, I almost always choose chaos if available
Yeha you need to keep track on what chamber you are at all times
That curse is definitely not going to last until hades
almost win
Theres no chaos on styx
i might turn chaos down if a hammer chamber or a double god boon chamber is against it, but otherwise its always chaos
I love Daedalus hammer, always
A chaos is worth more than a double, and a hammer will spawn later regardless, so you can easily ignore it
Youre almost always guaranteed 2 hammers per run
yeah you can generally skip hammers, and it will show up later. I feel like most of the time your hammer is up against something else like a Pom though and it makes the choice easy, with chaos being the only choice likely better
If you would lose the hammer ok, but since it will most likely spawn again, I dont see why not go to chaos
WOOOO! I finally cleared a run! https://mobile.twitter.com/TRBucket/status/1322189038850240512
best run i have had for a while 
i basically face tank hades at the end
i basically face tank hades at the end
idk if this goes here but im boasting about this lmaooo
sobs my first successful 32 heat run ๐
Nice Job!
em4 cleared! 
Zagreo ๐
EM4 is hard btw, good job ๐
it was my first attempt on it but i barely cleared it
"was full health 3 lives and cleared with 1 hit left" barely
hits like a truck
well that was fun
another dodge build hehe had stubborn defiance and the near miss dash going in so was a bit worried but with hermes' second wind giving me a total of 92% dodge everytime i called i never even lost my defiance ๐
thats a pretty pog run damn
first time trying hermes keepsake with zag fists.. also had rush kick and 4 total dashes so i was flying everywhere
lambent plume + twin fists + rush delivery is a sweet combo tbh
it's something I always aim for with fists it's too good and works with any boon flavour
Almost got every weapon to 10 heat! Starting to feel competent 
man I'm at 8 heat with fist and 0 spear clears
it's like the spear is unlucky for me ๐ข
(congrats tho!!)
Spear is my fav but my lowest xD
they really need to add more than 7 boons ๐ (obvious joke, game just kept giving me ares athena zeus)
@short reef "18:010.10"?
last prophecy done! (not exactly a "victory", but boasting nonetheless)
Demeter's legendary might be the best.
Demeter's legendary is pretty OK, but all and all it still only corresponds to a 10% damage increase if you wanna think of it numerically sorta. Honestly, the most game changing legendary I've had is actually Hermes. The one where he insta recharges your casts.
I was slinging them like mad, didn't have to worry about ever picking them up
It's not a 10% damage increase. You're reading it wrong.
What it does is (effectively) lower the max HP of all enemies, including bosses, by 10%.
Oh I know that, I was just doing some somewhat dubious math
I know that doesn't exactly correspond 1:1, but that's how I think of it
Think of it this way: If there was a boon that said "Your first attack does 10% of a foe's max HP," it would be one of the best boons in the game.
Even if it would slow you down against normal enemies, it would be amazing against bosses, especially Hades.
And Demeter's boon is much better than that, because it just automatically kills foes when they're at low HP.
Fair point. By no means do I think it's a bad legendary, I just think there are more interesting ones.
But it has a special animation and voice lines when it activates against bosses!
Hmm, that is a compelling point
I know its not the best time anyone's seen, but I beat my old record by over 3 minutes
That's a lot faster than my record!
sub 20s are actually fairly hard
Which is like, 23 minutes
^I had a few hundred hours in the game before I managed my first sub-20, so I know the feeling. Congrats!
same yeah
Thank you, I had ||jury summons|| on with the twin fists, which is what I set my old record with
not that impressive compared to some of the times here but finally broke 15 min!
Congrats!
heat 43 with the rail, that was fun
i actually used cast on eris rail??? AMA??
You are a brave man
Heh I should get around to uploading some of my victories. I screenshotted all 10 "story" victories for memories
Some of which were pretty pog
Got two weapons to 32 heat tonight, just two more to go now
first ever fist escape lol and didnt use any DD the whole run
grandma's boy
Nice. Got both Exclusive Access and Sweet Nectar in Asphodel.
huge catch best catch
I finally did the thing
new PB
last PB was 9 heat with beo, this one was 32 with eris lmao
eris is a good weapon
So I thought I am going to do a pro gamer move and infinitely stack dooms with the duo and have Dire Misfortune hit a ton (never got it pommed T_T), but apparently after first hit of Doom it refreshes the stacks 
I believe Dire Misfortune can't be pommed.
Regardless the big brain strategy with the Duo doesnt work
This was a fun run
having cluster rocket bought me only 14 seconds lol
i is need practice
couldn't find sea storm that time tho
pretty good build if i do say so
ho boy
can't believe this is what i got my first clear with
CONGRATSSS
wanted to kill hades with this but it was my 10th clear
Ahhh I got my first 32-heat run!!! And I got a new PB on time in the process!
This run was pain, all the way through
I had to cheese mine with Guan Yu
Jury summons+Damage control with Zag bow, never again
@magic matrix what do you mean, Demeter's?
Oh, no, I was using the Zagreus aspect.
Here's a screenshot from the Admin room.
My basic theory of trying 32-heat was to lean into damage reduction, and dodge chance plays into that. So even the combo of Weak on attack the Sturdy from the Colossus Knuckle puts your overall damage reduction at 51%. So 15% dodge chance on top of that is pretty good.
Then in this run, I happed to get the Aprho/Ares Duo as well as the bonus damage after using Call, so I was hitting pretty hard as well.
oh my god my heart was beating so fast
My special hit for some good amount of damage. Yeah Heat 1 isn't much. But that was fun anyways.
@royal current wow
I thought I had no chance when I saw vermin
vermin easy if you get lucky stunlocks
he can be like final boss though
darkness darkness darkness
first sub 20 run
Almost sub 9 mins
I got Jealous of the Duo guy
Heat 40 accomplished.
damn, that's an achievement.
thank you! it took me quite a while, even with the lucy changes 
first time trying hera... not sure why the last fight was so close
all this rng and i still cant break 10 minutes
now I'm just showing off
Got super lucky with Heroics, missed a Meg and 2 full Aphro calls on Dad though 
first time trying stutborn dzfiance for a real run, worked well x) and nothing from the charon's wells + no patroclus. so yeah, 1st 32 heat with fists !
This on Hera is pretty damn fun
first try, broken weapon
almost died at meg but we made it
cursed
i stuck a lot of crystals in hades
Hades, God oโฆ๏ธโฆ๏ธโฆ๏ธโฆ๏ธโฆ๏ธโฆ๏ธ
congrats!!!
taking a break really does help clear the mind (please dont look at my DDs)
a 32 clear is a 32 clear
First day of LC4, GY feels very strong but a vulnerable early game
the best thing about this image is it looks like an achilles build
it actually does rofl
32 heat w/o ||EM4|| was high key easier than 16 heat with it
Critical Zeus Oriented. Fun run, criting something like 1200, while lighting everything with 5 casts
After 16 attempts, I finally did it. Still have a long way to go. Loving the game so far.
After 16 attempts, I finally did it. Still have a long way to go. Loving the game so far.
@dark peak you made it pretty early. Gj
yeah 16 is fast nice work
@simple zenith 5 minute sword run? that recorded? damn
it was spear i think and it was a tech glitch
basically the TD timer went off in tartarus and then never reset
Ah.
still dont really know why i think theyre working on it
oh lol i was gonna say i think thatโs a WR
69th win.. was a really fun run, fat damage
nice
even fatter damage ๐
nice
new personal best time
rolling a high dmg twin fist special w/ chill ice beams back up is nice
prophecy run ayy
32 heat on my second weapon. feels good.
47 Heat Hestia finally done ๐
OOF nice
Thanks!
im out here hyped bout getting to sub 30 min clears
Hey dude, those are hype! That's progress! Here are my first clears, you better believe I was amped about sub 30s
haha my first clear was a 1 hour 15 minute SLOG
where i camped out dad with stubborn roots
get hype about whatever makes you hype mate
First 10 heat victory, and my first EM4 victory as well:
Very nice, congrats!
It wasn't that nice, really. Stubborn Roots carried me through the third phase.
Though I now find the third phase to be easier than the second.
EGG
Behold my baseball bat
finally finished 36 heat with a weapon! eris is broken go figure
Enemies may take critical damage
why do i keep coming so close to 14, but never pass it
2,5 minutes faster than my last record. Even though I forgot to use my companion against Hades ๐
8:40 with Hestia rail. Getting 5k crits 
32 heat
Yeh someone posted here about that the other day. It's rare but possible
I've had at least three but over separate runs
just won my first one i practically gave up on the run when i lost both death defiances somehow i won with the skelly tooth
How do you get defiance from chaos ? Ita the only prophecy i havent got yet
and it requires having any Chaos boon for it to show up.
isnt there a mirror buff that increases the chances of duos a legendary boons
you could use that to try
hard game
legendary
I wanted to meme with Poseidon Lucifer but holy heck this run is hilarious the moment I got Sea Storm then later Second Wave
First time with 16 heat. I'm quite proud of myself
1000 damage with hestia empowered shot 
now this this was one of my fav runs i ever had
Poseidon Aspect is a a triumph.
doubling
10 Minute clear with Beowulf!
Just need to do sword and bow now and then everything will be 10 or lower
ah, nice
But cluster rocket is the best set up, I just didn't get it offered
the regular rail special always feels so slow to me
It's quite slow/difficult to manually aim it on controller
I'd recommend getting used to just tapping special and letting it fire where ever it auto aims
You'll be dashing in to splash dash on enemies anyway so you'll still get Eris buff
ah, i play with mouse and keyboard anyway
but my best time is 22:31.99 after, uh, 81 clears lmao
i almost always clear all the hallways in styx, too
If ya want a quick time, check out this https://www.speedrun.com/hades/guide/5km0y
i'll need to get fast eventually for 32 heat
tight deadline makes for easy heat when you're fast
Decided to try mirage shot Hera, it's fun seeing 10 splash casts haha
Not quick enough though, I got bad rng on free rooms and didn't play that well
I'm going to try parting shot athena cast again
I was only aiming for sub 16m ๐
what's up with your resolution boyo ?
old af laptop mate
damn, seems playable at least
Little blurry, but this was a fun build using the Poseidon sword.
Got a new fastest time with Chiron bow with this Ares based Special build. Sadly Ares did the thing he usually likes to do with me (not sure if he's like this for everyone) where he shows up at the start of the run and then never appears again until Elysium, Styx. I got 3 Ares boons the whole run lmao. Thankfully managed to roll exactly the boon i wanted, Dire Misfortune. Only Boon that could have made this stronger was Impending Doom.
is dire misfortune pommable? i wonder if that would have been more effective
first win! achieved today
the same day i got past theseus+asterius for the first time, funnily enough
i just... didn't stop getting past them
and then i killed dad
New overall PB and Heat progression on Spear. Wasn't going for strictly speed (taking every shop, etc) but was cruising. Zeus on Attack, plus those two Dae-Hammer boons were disgusting. The entire screen would just blow up. So much fun, ha.
I am literally crying
Damn Zeus on spear attack is that good? I'll need to try that out
New PB for Arthur sword, running EM4 as well. Managed to get out of Asphodel in about 6 minutes (in game timer) but got slowed down a bit in Elysium.
the duality of gods
I've got lots of screenshots of victories
just posted those first ๐
erebus gatekeeper
perfect clear
Chiron hurt this time around. em4 and I didn't even lose a DD
Chaos is the real MVP
That's a good hunt
My second EM4 clear. Rama is definitely my favorite bow aspect now.
DAMAGE
It's been a while since I played the game, after a week or two of derusting, I'm getting my high score heat up and up. So far, 40 heat with EM4 and Zeus shield. It might not be much compared to the heat high scores, but it's a start
nice one!
Did 32 heat with the spear, only one more weapon to go!
I struggled for like 3 hours trying to do 32 heat spear with various combinations, mostly dying on the hades fight
left the easiest till last ๐
but this last run I lucked into exploding launcher and just played the spear like a bow instead
@drifting heart wow all the legendaries and duos, what a blast ๐
5k damage shot build (please fix blinding flash)
MY PARTNER JUST GOT THEIR FIRST CLEAR
I'll post the victory screen in a bit!
(I haven't cleared it yet myself)
Hellmode, nice
My first 32 heat clear. Didn't want to brag until after the fact, hence the records screenshot.
haha arthur crits go brr
I feel kinda bad for winning, honestly, Redacted fight was just a flail
Well said
you made it to hades, you deserve your win
a tried 32 heat once and is way out of my fun meter, 24 is just fine
Still fun if you can find your niche. I hate Heightened Security through approval process, The game becomes such a chore. I'd rather die from mistakes than from having the game actively work against me
this was down right silly. like a 2 minute hades fight
Well, I did not expect to make this build work, but here we are. My... second? Clear past release. I don't normally play aggressive, risky builds, but... here we are. Being able to deflect with my dash AND my Special almost certainly saved me. Wish I could pin more boons, all of these were major players, haha.
50 Heat Hestia. Pretty sure this is the highest that's ever been done

@oak gorge cursed slash is how I got my first win. But I paired it with the rapid slash one where you just hold attack down
First try at EM4 and lucked out with a classic chiron build. It's kind of poetic; I had a similar build for my first ever clear on this save.
(except instead of Demeter it was Artemis)
I got hoarding slash in tartarus and so I had to do my best to save
made good memories along the way
do not recommend due to the fact that 7 heat felt like 20
Second win. Anvil made the run worse, but it was still winnable. Turns out blocking is really good.
Sharing this run because of how stupid strong I got bow special. I wish I could share how fast my ||Hades|| fight was. Just dash behind and pop for over 600-700 dmg per special.
Nothing remotely compared to everyone else here, but I picked up the game 3 days ago, this is my fastest yet and im pretty happy.
Nice!
yay my third clear... like 60 hours into this game ๐ช all i know for sure is that Doom is my friend, lol.
whatโs an easy heat to add on besides middle management?
@lunar peak I use Extreme measures 1, this makes the first boss fight harder but the rest of the run is unchanged after, once you ace that fight its a regular run
Im also on my 5th clear incoming btw, so not the best source for info
woop woop new PB
Low heat, but oh boy. +345% special damage on a full charge + crit chance
Well, I didn't expect to win with Aegis. Ever.
By far the strongest run Iโve had yet. Just kept chucking explosive javelins that dealt upwards of 200 damage each. Killed things fast and was incredibly safe.
First time 32 heat with gilgamesh in 18 minutes
finally sub 13 with all weapons (yes i am abusing blinding flash until its patched why do you ask)
Got my first win on my 6th run
my first victory with the base bow
Bought the game yesterday, finished on the 16th try. Going to try again today wish me luck :D
i have no idea why i took so many boons to upgrade slicing shot
2nd run done 
Congrats!
that's all shields at 32
less effective combo than you might think; apparently dio's aid only does 5 pulses lol
well, most of the time
sometimes it would randomly do 6? idk
https://i.gyazo.com/245b79bbb82851739235f2036634a226.png
4 more to get all 45 ! It took me 20-25 attempts before getting this one (resets included)
I just beat the game for the first time!!!!
Gratz !
congratzz
oof that was a really long run
Yeah lmao im pretty slow with that shield, plus I was streaming to my partners
I'm usually faster with the base
Plus Styx rng was awful ๐ฉ
Got me a 32 on sword, now I just gotta figure out the right setup for spear
Whoa, nice!
I'm slowly working on getting legendaries and duos arm but it's slow
Looks like it was a cast focused run?
*duos atm
Yeah, hitting like 500 damage per dio lob
for spear, i suggest going dio cast again on achilles
Still played a bit sloppy on the end fight, but turning off EM4 and FO2 wound up helping
its what got me to 32
the best part is, i didn't have to learn how to use a spear!
i'm rubbish at spears lol
I love the spear
i don't hate it, i'm just bad at it
I like stacking backstab bonuses since you can get some nice stuff
Spear is probably my weakest too. Not a fan of gloves even though I'm fine with them. I tend to be way more into ranged weapons in action games
I think my weakest are sword, gun gloves
this was... quite a lucky run for me, everything aligned nicely 
do you... have fully loaded and no cast boon?
i picked fully loaded for prophecy only
ah, fair
no attack boon? wow
Ahhh yeah, 35-0 get robbed, Than.
delta chamber 
another one cleared 
HELL yeah
When you accidentally have all the wrong talents on but it's ok
this was a nice run..good deeps on bosses with doom on attack and hangover on special, got the dmg buff for doom aswell with the curse of nausea ๐
Thats such an ideal spread of talents, congrats!
Gilgamesh is my new favorite fist
Nemesis goes BRRRR
That was the 5th weapon for a 10 min or less clear, only bow left now
Billowing is very stonks
my first sub 20 minute run and also my first clear with EM3, feels good :p haha
first heat run, was pretty much a god run
was getting 1k crits and I didn't even have clean kill
Ayyy I just did a Zag bow run too!
Finally done getting quick times across the board
@inner bane I went with the dashes in the end
Told you, every time
Wow those are really fast runs
finally 32 heat every weapon.. this spear run was lit
It's a lot more fun if you have more than 3 casts.
Gotta visit chaos once in a while, or get Artemis legendary.
AP2 struggle ๐ฅฒ
Last run I just did, 4 chaos gates... All gave +1 cast XD Also got Artemis legendary
9 casts is stupid strong.
darn
what?
i see that blinding flash ๐
what about it? ๐
backstab dmg
its also a bug thats currently being worked on
i hit an 8k rama power shot yesterday with level 6 or 7 blinding flash
My very first win, and uhhh
Haha Cast Abuse go brrrr
@iron thistle Those speeds, damn dude!
Ayyy I just did a Zag bow run too!
@iron thistle dang machine gun zag bow doesnt look half bad either
now someone just needs to come up with a build to make zag bow exciting to play instead of 
@vale marlin thanks mate
Yeah @simple zenith that was my first zag bow clear since upgrading it, it's actually pretty sick with flurry shot
i believe it i'll have to give it a shot
been trying to go fast with rama but cant seem to get under 11
Didn't get twin or triple which would have been perfect with flurry but still can't complain with the epic attack speed and flurry shot in tartarus
I'd reccomend it
I tried it cause hera felt like it would take time to get used to
I think bablo said rama can be very fast too
But you'd need to learn new muscle memory for its slow attack charging
yeah ive mostly used it for heat but trying it for speed didnt seem bad since tail got like an 8:30 on 32 heat with it
Laser go brrr
Angry at myself for codexing during my 50 heat Hestia run, soooo decided why not just run it back with 51
NICE
Wow 
arthur aspect is fun!
It is!
feels like everyone is breaking beo records today but for now im just happy with sub-11
Brilliant ๐
first time using Poseidon aspect. I feel it's only really good if you have exit wound though
Finally yaaaaaaaaaaaay
New PB on Sword, and Heat bounty progression (15). The Tidal combo with Aphro-take more damage was pretty gross by the end. Dae-Hammer for double-hit dash strike was a nice compliment. Didn't Special too much. EM3 on as well,
.
Ik this isnโt formal but 3rd day playing hades on a school night no god mode beat it first time im so happy
Darn you old man I escape hell if i want to.
But THERE'S NO ESCAPE
Youโre both right
Very close call
yup
Best you didnโt realize. May have panicked
At least I would
Iโd try to be extra careful and would get hit by something silly
Wow, had like a perfect run. Beat my previous best time by 3 minutes, and on much higher heat. Second time beating EM4.
hazard bomb go brr
This run was blessed from the beginning, two duos and a legendary without mirror boost. Also chaos low key carried.
I mean, it is poseidon aspect. so yeah!
my sense of humor is not on point 
beo 40, at last!
English isn't my first language so maybe stuff goes over my head as well. also hype for 40 heat!
thanks tharrock
almost messed it up due to poor play a couple of times, but it worked out in the end
pretty sure the parting shot thing is a bug tho?
thought it wasn't offered on beo anymore
yeah i'm on PC
then 
forgot to during the run, but i put it in #h1-tech-support
doesn't matter, they get your save file which has run history for them to look at. and the report still has a written description
you could do it with the admin chamber report as the screenshot
oh good idea
I just spam Special Button and Doom! xD.
spicy first clear
Seeing the others clears. Looks like there more stuff's that I haven't seen or need to unlock. O.o Legendary and Heroic...
English isn't my first language so maybe stuff goes over my head as well. also hype for 40 heat!
@rugged horizon Nah, there is cast written all over your screen so my guess was so obvious, hence the "joke" lol
FINALLY BEAT EM HADES
Got em
not the highest heat,. but sweet aphrodite
How was FO2 arthur @sly trout ?
it's hard but good practice.
I thought it doesn't work that well since enemies interrupt the combo always
you have to be using your dashes perfectly most of the time between attack combos, and know when to chill a bit rather than go ham
EM4 ๐ฅ
One message removed from a suspended account.
One message removed from a suspended account.
i might add EM4 and AP1 which is 47 heats but i dont know about the other heat options.. looks hard
1 or 2 JS shouldn't hurt too much
i'd personally go for CP2 first; the extra health seems like it wouldn't have been a problem with that run
that'd increase Boss' Health too
oh my god this was so close
if not for call this run would've died on the very end of phase 2
one (1) epic boon
My first 32 heat run)
this was pretty nuts. shame drunken strike was common rarity but other than that it was amazing
First time beating EM4 without losing a DD. This run was ultra stacked though lol, had ME before the end of Tartarus ๐
With FO2 too nice
Not bad for a 14 heat with JS1, EM3, BP2. Those definitely slowed me down in certain areas, and I didn't even get sea storm :/
My first Win wooo! plus its on stream, soo proud omgosh haha the 2 legendary's carried me so hard
I see another bottom 4 green user
best mirror build
I use anything else I lose ๐
shortest time and ive been playing everyday for i dont even know how long at a time xD
hey, progress is progress!
im having the time of my life
shortest time I've gotten
this chegg prophecy run ended up working out pretty well in the end
When the Adamant Rail becomes a deadly Bolt Action Rifle. 700+ damage per shot is a hell of a drug.
Finally managed to get a sub 12 minute run! I had an Eris boosted rocket shotgun that tore up every enemy in Elysium/Styx in one or 2 shots, and managed to beat Hades in under a minute. Thought for sure i wouldnt get it thanks to 3 room Styx, but the sheer damage in the Hades fight was too much for it to matter. Hermes Would Be Jealous indeed.
That moment when you reduce the Tight Deadline pact modifier from 3 to 2 so that you can practise heat setups and not randomly die to the timer, only to get a time that's almost as fast as your PB
finally got 32 heat with each weapon ๐
man you guys are hardcore
im just getting into heat, pretty new still
trying to get 16
Don't fret it, we all start somewhere
I still recall me dying to Asphodel mobs on the regular while learning the game
Stop it Chaos, give dad a chance... Gods that was insane!
@modern bane congrats!
@lunar peak i've cleared 36 heat and still die to asphodel mobs on the regular... 
Still just getting into the game, but got my first clear a few days ago w/ Stygian Blade.
Current-highest Heat run as of right now:
Not shown on the highlights is Heart Rend, though you can see the icon for it in the listing
Interesting run all in all
First 32 Heat win on Hellmode Save!
not a victory yet but look at this juicy chamber number lol
I have never had this many duo boons but it all goes together extremely well if u get the boons later they wont show good results but if u get them earlier they are extremely powerful (without the duo boon of posideon and ares)
Level 43 Passion Flare
43!!!!!
and then just ridiculous luck with being offered pom rooms
sweet nectar doesn't affect that keepsake, does it?
it doesn't, no
aw, that would be wild
i know that haelian at least goes for room rerolls on his mirror setup, but imo the boon rerolls can get you poms so much earlier
i also got offered 3 poms in the styx shop! for a total of 8 levels
that's awesome
i can appreciate both fated authority & fated persuasion tbh, though persuasion feels like i'm more in control for some reason
i also think it would make sense to regain 2 stacks of FA with keys, since the mirror gives you twice as many stacks of it to start out with
Went to do more heat stuff for titan blood and suprise Rama pb by 2 and a half minutes literally WHAT
i can appreciate both fated authority & fated persuasion tbh, though persuasion feels like i'm more in control for some reason
@tough mirage i think for me the main thing that makes it feel that way is because you get few enough boons that you're not realistically gonna find all the boons you want from a single god
so especially when trying to satisfy certain requirements or hunting for duos, FP is critical
yeah
plus i'm aiming to eventually go for 32 heat, and at that point I'll need FP in case the pool of purging wants 3 boons i need to keep
oof yeah, for sure
i also think FA should not be able to repeat previously-rerolled rewards, that just feels so dumb
yeah, but it seems a bit harder to implement, since they'd have to keep track of what you've already seen and eventually make it unrerollable
i can see the justification for why it doesn't give you 2 per key, because subsequent rolls don't cost more
but it's still a bit wonky/feels bad for sure
to be clear, i'm talking within the context of a single exit
gold > pom > gold should not be possible
yeah i agree
Y'all ever meme your way to an aspect WR
??
wow not even 100% dodge terrible run
Had to let dad get a couple hits in. Didn't want him to feel bad ya know?
this 5 sack was rough but we pulled through
2/6 done
didn't even use sd, ez game
Rama is very fun
Probably my favorite Hidden Aspect
got super close to my best time on a level 1 Rama bow too
And my brother was saying this game is difficult

I assume you know all the basics. If you don't, visit: https://hades.gamepedia.com...
He lacks experience, just like me in the beginning.
It takes me almost 1 year to win easily (no god mode)
i had to wait to get low tolerance untill i got into stix .. that sucks big time .. but using my special got me thru the most part..using it three times with a 30% dmg incraese when targeted is nasty AF
thats an odd run
yeah i never see blades with rod
since usually you wanna collect the stones asap
and mood is just a meme boon
i picked it up for the meme it was the last boon i picked up before hades and the other two werent as useful
oh absolutely
mood is pretty legit...
It takes quite a few boons but you're doing like... 600-700/3s
It's especially nice on shield since your rotation entails being invincible during most of it ๐
i was like "heck it 3 duo boons for the meme"
Honestly: MVP of this run was quick recovery
manipulating the game into the boons you want is so satisfying tho .. again the dio aphro build .. it just melts hades in a minute..GG
this 5 sack was rough but we pulled through
2/6 done
@simple zenith wtf is that best time ahahhaha
just standing there with athena's aid and melting our father .. trololol
@ancient summit now you say...wtf .. five minute clear .. how
if i would get my duo boons with the dio aphro build sooner than getting the combo pieces in styx over and over again ,maybe i can get my best beaten , but now i allways get the pieces in styx ๐ฆ
The 5 min spear finish isn't an actual run
put a cast into the big buy, dash into him to get exposed, fire three rockets on him and shoot.. do that 5 times and he's dead .. finaly beat my own time and first 15 minute run ๐
how do i even get those fancy frames around the victory sign? i got myself alpha warden but it seems not te be enough ?
p sure they're bought from the House Contractor
p sure they're bought from the House Contractor
@tough orchid how are the called ? i found the shade in father's room but i want the victory stuff :p lol
thank you so much for making this game
@unkempt vortex nicely done! ive been playing for almost a month and i am at 26/49 ๐
when you pick dio or aphro every time you see him/her but never get the duo .... waaaaauuuwww XD
Traded Arty special for this, dont know if it was strictly correct but it sure didnt matter!
just hit double digits on my heat gauge. also beat extreme measures hades which was really fun. its only getting more interesting from here
now that was a lot of damage reduction
good you should try aspect of chiron if you like playing with bow
ill give it a try!
hey got me sub 10
gg
I can lick the World Record, I can smell it, I can almost taste it 
It's quite simple, you take the rail, take the eris aspect, put zeus on attack and then everything is dead as hell
Don't forget to take pose dash with Zeus duo, it's pure fire
@languid locust so i got the aspect and these are my first boons
not sure which one partners good with eris
im guessing if im going for just attack focuses ill be going tempest strike
@simple zenith wtf is that best time ahahhaha
@ancient summit yeah it was a big glitch if you look at the highest heat completed you can see which one is by far my worst weapon lol
First clear max EM, didn't expect the last phase of dad there. Was pretty close 
run saved i guess xD
finally achievements completed :-3 yayyyy
@languid locust so i got the aspect and these are my first boons
@cinder prism you can grab a flourish boon if you want, Eris is really versatile, you can have a attack build ( Best hammers include : Flurry Fire, Delta, Piercing & Seeking fire, concentrated can be nice but won't add much if you play without a %dmg boon, also maybe a controversial opinion but I find Spread fire clunky without bonus ammo ) or flourish build ( hammers : Triple bomb, cluster and rockets are the kings of flourish hammers, tho targeting system is a nice option as well, Hazard bomb is terrible with Eris aspect, pretty self explanatory )
My fav boon : Zeus on attack, there is just no contest, it beats every other option clean. Artemis is fun, because more instance of damage means more chances at crits. %dmg boons ( Aphro, Athena, Demeter etc.. are really good with spread fire ) for the flourish, well, everything works so pick something according to the duo you are aiming for.
You can even do a cast build with Eris
Yeah eris is probably my fav now @languid locust it feels so good when you have decent boons
i just opted with a flourish build which was fun
first try 40 eris OP
Glad to see you enjoy explosions @cinder prism 
its so fun
spoilers beware
and the time is long cuz i forget to pause it when im afk haha
@languid locust
turns out it doesn't matter what pacts you take if you have a nuclear bomb on a 3 second cooldown
no words
we really need a hermes emote
hehe rail go boom
WHAT A RUSH! We managed to beat it while doing 2 Players 1 Controller. I highly recommend it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAyem2hNK4Y
Soโฆ we recently have been OBSESSED with Hades. So we decided to try the game with our 2 Players 1 Controller skillz. We highly recommend grabbing a friend and giving this challenge a try yourself. Enjoy!

ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท...
this was real stupid ngl
FIRST CLEAR LETS GO
That's 100% gonna be my new desktop background
gonna save that too
The first of many
this build was awesome lol
first victory !! i have to say, for a new player, athena/demeter duo is OP xD
i'm still puzzled as to what special take with zeus attack for rail
First victory! On my 42nd attempt. Why try not to get hit when you can just hide behind a shield?
good idea
that's how i got my first win lol
https://i.imgur.com/BNptjsi.jpg 1/1 on beating Hades. Turns out that a machine gun that reflects attacks is good.
This run was a lot of fun. After failing for so long, I got two in a row and did much faster than my first clear. Hades went down fast!
New best time! :)
so uh, this is a thing.. rockets + cluster bomb
if only i got triple bomb as well KEK
You cant without sacrificing one of the two
Yeah fun combo
Just another Chiron 1k dps build, nothing unusual here
A very strong Chiron Doom build:
I had Curse of Longing in Tartarus, but didn't get Dire Misfortune until Styx. I got lucky when Eurydice upgraded Curse of Pain to heroic, but wasn't able to get poms to hit it because I'd spent too many rerolls earlier. Still, L5 epic Impending Doom, Unhealthy Fixation, and both Concentrated and Relentless Volley all made the final fight very easy.
Let me guess, it gets a massive doom stack on hades and then it just keeps repeating the damage while you stack it higher and higher.
Yes, the doom stacks were huge. Would have been bigger if I'd gotten more poms on Curse of Pain, or if Dire Misfortune was better than common. But really, I can't complain about a run like this.
meanwhile, on my switch playthrough, Eris go brrrr
Another, slightly better, time. I really should beat this game soon haha
@pulsar oxide how the hell do u complete a run so fast XD
just go quick lol
Speed is key 
yep
but for real, I basically just try to always be dealing damage, and it just works.
This combo smashed. Also, 25 straight!
by the time I got to Styx I was pretty much rolling my face on the keyboard and mouse
bro i would boast if not for the fact i died to hades and all i needed was like 5 more seconds of hitting him
he had the smallest bit of health you could imagine and it was with the god damn bow without any titan blood attached to it
unfortunate room rng in elysium and a 4 sack but got the perfect boons for beowulf
3-5k per 4 cast. Also had greater recall so didnโt have to chase down casts. Wish I had the Ares legendary.
got the ''perfect'' build but it still diddent go as i wanted it to go.. it still took a while to clean up the big guy as where i would stack dio on special and aphro on attack or even ares on attack and aphro on dash .. dunno what the hype around artemis special is ๐ฆ
This one is one of those builds that should have never worked against Extreme measurements Hades, but it did. I beat him on my second try all thanks to stubborn roots and cheesing
@cinder prism @slow stream last clear
It was essentially full aphro
Super easy as hera and no heat
(I was lazy)
looks like a decent build and congrats @robust crown i havent used twinshot with flurry shot but i can imagine both together are decent
they're fun to use together
nearly killed my 32 heat streak ๐ฌ
damn
thats a close one
and nice streak!
my first time winning against hades i was on 4 health
and i was about to get hit by his skulls he throws
that'll get your heart racing for sure
it did haha!
lol did you have a DoT on him
or were you just swinging at him hoping for the best
umm heres the clip haha
spoliers for anyone who haven't defeated the boss! but id imagine you have if your in this channel
YOOO that clip is amazing
yeah my very first win haha
hahaha im just like umm relief
Aspect of Beowulf, even had a DD remaining
yep I asked for advice on build opener. Aphro cast feels gooood
I went fast this run D:
kinda just lucked into a bunch of duos i wasn't going for but we take those
vengeful mood is good but to maximise its effects you need to build for it
whilst hunting blades is just turning a meh cast into stupid good cast
Carried by Life Affirmation, 1st 32 heat complete ๐
Thats a lot of health
i can be proud of this time for now until 3 weps drops it into obscurity
First 16 heat victory wooo!
The best victory gentlemen.
Nice! I only need to get all weapon aspects and max level all keepsakes!
Crit sword shenanighans! 66% crit on the Thurst attack doing 1.1k damage from behind or about 700 otherwise. Super neat build
This was one of the most broken runs i've done so far. Chiron bow seems a tad op! Some of the numbers I saw were in the 1.2k-1.4k range crit for the final few arrows of special. Killed Asterius/Theseus with 2-3 Specials each
Poverty boasting
eris hazard bomb 
first victory at 16 heat! Darker thirst kept putting me on the spear and bow, and when i finally got exagryph I won handily, even with EM4
I'll always take hazard bomb, even with eris. It's a stupid amount of damage
fair
esp with crit
eris hazard bomb
3k IQ only big brains can do this
you obviously got hard carried by heart of stone
ad
Facts
After many failures, I finally got a EM4 victory with fists, and I did it without losing a single death defiance!
Notes: -Divine Protection and Broken Spearpoint work very well together. -Two "favor" boons from Chaos in Tartarus meant that I never had to take a common boon. -Bouldy boon was +1% Attack. 
I also got the ultimate victory:
What fist aspect is that?
The hidden aspect.
It's actually pretty easy to force duos and legendaries. The mirror helps a lot, as does knowing the prereqs.
It's definitely easier to force a build in Hades than in any roguelite I've played.
The god keepsakes help a lot as well.
Have you played Nova Drift? It's relatively easy there too ๐
But I do agree it's pretty good here
my fastest zoom. nothing compared to the speedrunners but it felt pretty good
That fast a time with Jury summons tho ๐
Definitely was soured on ||Excalibur|| going through tartarus but it served me very well vs redacted
(I just had to get both bonus death defiances from athena and buy two more. That's definitely not what carried me)
i love ||excalibur||
i guess this is a victory i got a pad for my doggy so cute
i give him all of my honey
Getting used to FO1 is really helping to lower my time, even with almost almost a minute lost in Erebus due to a sped up/tracking splitter. I need to remember to use my summon though.
This isn't a heat or anything, but I beat the game the first time with the sword after about 14 attempts, and have consecutively beat it with each weapon after which I'm super proud of. ๐
The Damage on this one though.
Extremely unlikely that I actually win this run, but I consider this a victory anyway
First 32 Heat run. Sub-15 minute clear. x1 DD lost in a duo-boon room in which Witches with tracking orbs spawned, FO2 rip. x1 DD in the EM3 whirlwind. Boons came together at the end for some nuts damage.
0
Cluster Rockets HO!
When Chiron wants something dead...It kills it VERY dead.
Really, really wish I had been playing on a higher heat, I think I could've beat 32
@fair gate @sacred ocean cold fusion build worked out 
yes! love it!
nice
second time over 30 heat, got heroic heartbreak flourish in tartarus and the two special hammer upgrades just sealed the deal
dang, wish you had highlighted less obvious key boons, I like looking through builds because I'm trying to formulate a path through heat 32 ๐
relentless volley+hearthbreak flourish+concentrated volley was it for me. I was planning on using drunken flourish but aphrodite offered heroic heartbreak flourish in tartarus, the two hammer upgrades were just cherry on top
this is a really high roll run though
Yeah that's what I'm trying to do next
So u skipped some heat? u loose extra ambrosia etc?
I don't really mind, I'm like 105 runs in now, I don't really need much of anything anymore, I can max a few more weapons but I have most of the aspects I want maxed already where I want them, don't need nectar or ambrosia
Have like, maybe 2 more fated I could pick up with the mirror, or I could refund with a key and have them
ok nice
you donโt lose bounties by skipping to higher heats anyway
That too
so u can do them later and get the reward?
yeah
basically you get a bounty if you do whatever heat youโre up to or more
so if you havenโt done the 18 heat bounty and you do 32, you get the rewards for 18
and then you can do 19 as normal, or skip to 40 and still get the rewards
ok. so im at lets say 15. when i do 20, i get the reward for 15. next time i do 20 again, do i get for 16 then?
yeah you got it
quite happy about this run since my runs normally take 36+ mins, i guess the zeus cast is really good at clearing rooms
What aspect is this?
@proven basalt bounties capped for me at 20, so after that you don't gain diamonds or bloods etc
@snow pendant Thhings will go a lot faster if you get your heat elsewhere than Jury summons and callisthenics program
40% more monsters with 15% hp is pretty crazy in terms of adding time on
you could feasibly halve it though lol
^
i mean
I've been watching some Haelian - he never adds the hp and Jury summons is on the higher heat levels
They are some of the last things when u go over 40 heat
especially with the timer thing
hmm
the timer is actually a really easy heat challenge
Just an example of my H19 run - 14 mins
more health won't necessarily make it more difficult though, just more time consuming
add more attack speed and damage, and sacrifice your boons if you're after challenging
Well in a way it would - if it takes more time it leaves more chance for you to get hit
yea
Especially on bosses
its like saying increasing dmg doesn't make ir harder
if you have the boss patterns down they're pretty easy to avoid
Well yeah in theory - but he's on 11 clears so relatively new player and hasn't cleared with 4 of the 6 aspects
I got about 40 maybe and I get you. I always end up on Hades with 3 defiances and full hp ๐
trap damage is actually pretty challenging, you get a better idea for how many traps there really are
and magma is way more punishing
magma is yikes - I a lways get a few ticks of it every time
only on Hydra really - the rest is manageable
big oofs
That's why i've heard the good players always aim for Sure footing if they can
On high heat runs
that's not a bad idea, epic sure footing is pimp
1 small mistake and u gone ๐
90% I think
Yep
took divine dash like a chump, but arty offered me a trade. i decided not to be a coward
@fair gate you fooled me this almost looks like a beowulf build
lol i meant more the level 4!? trippy shot and scintillating feast
oh yeah that happened by accident lol
"accident"
then all my poms kept offering to upgrade it instead of my attack
๐คทโโ๏ธ why not
wasn't the worst thing that could have happened ig lol
Why is it always the training run I don't record that end up so good 
This is my true victory (not beating Hades). I haven't seen this for weeks.
filling out my bow 32s; next up zag
what aspect?
that was hera, hence the cast focus
H
How exactly does hera work? Does the whole animation happen from the enemy's location?
it happen at the place your arrow hits, so basically yeah
Ok that's cool! I'm most used to Chiron and still haven't upgraded the hidden one to high enough lvl to try. How does it compare in terms of strength to Chiron?
its probably not quite as powerful as chiron, but it can certainly be pretty effective
i also find chiron a bit easier to play, since you have to aim less lol
Yeah imo Chiron is the easiest in the game to get high heat ๐
Just go Heart rend and it's gg ๐
its pretty solid yeah
So Hera uses cast, just like Beowulf?
similar to beowulf yeah
