[frail pilot]

Yay, sub 20 on shield, even with a 4 sack

Thanks to everyone's help

[teal topaz]

So close to my first sub 20 rip

don't mind the 44 minute rail clear

[brave fulcrum]

I... didn't get hit on EM4

granted, acorn and athena dash

[fallen zephyr]

i did it.
I got my first 32 heat run

[brave fulcrum]

ayyyyyy

[fallen zephyr]

tbf it's shield but hey

[brave fulcrum]

who cares? it's 32 heat

🎊

[fallen zephyr]

tks

[frail pilot]

Gonna start climbing some heat

[quiet turret]

Stoked about finally beating my personal-best time! Next stop, sub-eight.

[lunar peak]

6x32

[simple zenith]

chaos 45 done! dont know what im gonna do vs EM4 when i dont have a shield

[lapis oxide]

Achilles's spear is actually pretty good with cast builds

[finite glen]

6 casts

Gracias amigo! @weak jay

[weak jay]

muy bien

lmao did you actually picked two builds and ran both

[finite glen]

Yep, curse of drowning really helped for dmg as well

[pastel marten]

oh yay. first 40. got lucky with patty and 2sack. tho athena didnt' give me any dd with 2 rerolls.

[distant valve]

Absolutely shredded Hades and EM3 Heroes

[lavish kite]

i swear i always get my fastest runs without realising

[versed quarry]

wow nice

[abstract karma]

It is done.

What a ride.

[lavish kite]

congrats dude

i have 1 achievement left myself, the max all keepsakes one

3 keepsakes left and ive got it

[worn quartz]

1st time Poseidon aspect, was trying around stuff
I'm in love

[rough sigil]

Zag Rail with icy attacks (I also have tendencies to balance all clears to all weapons lol)

[hasty socket]

Flex

[vestal solstice]

nice!!

I'm stuck trying to get a few prophecies done, for some reason I can't get Poseidon's legendary boon and a few others

[solid thicket]

woop woop, first time!

[simple zenith]

32 heat super soaker done

[slim berry]

My first attempt at an actual speedrun. Needs some improvement. Got a new personal record time nonetheless.

[vague orchid]

Sub 13s across the board

[solid thicket]

dang, subsequent ones get easier lol

thanks for the mirror build tips last night everyone!

[crisp ginkgo]

Sea storm Chiron bow, my first perfect clear

Acorn yeah but im still pretty thrilled with myself. Really hope each arrow for Chiron triggers a separate sea storm lightning lol

[strange token]

45 heat curse of longing lucifer

[frail pilot]

Yes, sub 10!

I got to the door at 9 min so wasn't sure

But cluster rocket got me through phase 1 in 30 seconds lol

Thanks for the FO suggestion

Was noticeable with some of the swarm types

[simple zenith]

eris can usually keep up with FO2 as well but its mostly personal preference

[stoic pulsar]

45 heat hera, accidentally rolled with regular DDs

[strange token]

45 heat arthur!

[stoic pulsar]

LOL nice build

[lunar peak]

Optimal Arthur right there

You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like

Also I see that meme beam 👀

dash strike Arthur pog

[simple zenith]

not pog at all

1 fear

[bitter finch]

could've been better if ice wine doesn't have a delay after shooting

[pastel marten]

Thats a pretty hard 5 heat

[lavish ibex]

16 heat with all weapons now

[pallid iron]

I finally beat Hades for the first time!

I used Varatha with Triple Jab, Flurry Jab, and Divine Strike

[lavish ibex]

i thought I did 16 heat with rail, it forgot to record it apparently, time to try that again

[rough sigil]

Blitz Shield run with loaded Dio casts because sure why not

[brave fulcrum]

This was fun

A LOT OF FUN

I also got legendary in Asphodel

pretty quick

[lapis oxide]

The Gods felt very cooperative tis run

[finite glen]

Might as well call this a speedrun with Talos

[vague orchid]

Bouldy coming in clutch

[rough sigil]

Poseidon Sword with lunging special.

[vagrant tusk]

First sub 25. Total laser light show in regular rooms.

[regal sparrow]

managed a very solid Lambent Plume build with Zagreus Sword and thanks to two-sack new personal best:

https://youtu.be/Zo_Otw7Kmps

[brave fulcrum]

heh, that obols

[icy prairie]

Finally beat my first run

[shadow kite]

Dayum

More stacked than I had on first run

[finite glen]

If only special was a zeus special

But man that divine prot gotta be a clutch

[worn forge]

٩( ᐛ )و

[jagged oyster]

was a cool run, zeus is really good with rail

[lunar peak]

kinda proud of this one

EM4 no deaths

[frail pilot]

nice

[lunar peak]

ty

[frail pilot]

i've yet to try em4

im scared

[lunar peak]

basically he has a new phase and can heal

first two phases are largely the same, except for 1st phase summons are now mini-bosses

[frail pilot]

uuuh

[lunar peak]

and he can use his heal in the second phase (which he just stands there and sucks life out of the grabby-urn he summons)

[lavish kite]

not a win but yea

finally

[lunar peak]

you can either break the urns or slap him hard

hells yeas nice cheevos man

i need to get on that

[lavish kite]

i swear the max each keepsake achievement took me forever

[alpine dagger]

putting doom on blitz disc makes it the slowest frisbee and the deadliest ive ever seen

[finite glen]

soaker

Also had a lvl 4 high voltage combined with jolted for the privileged status

[frigid flame]

I know this probably isn't anywhere near the level of victory normally seen in this channel, but after 50+ deaths I finally killed the big man and I feel good.

[magic iron]

Yay

[hexed sinew]

that was a really enjoyable one!!!

[lavish ibex]

16 heat for all weapons complete!

[pure lily]

https://i.imgur.com/eZr8GgL.jpg

[tribal sail]

16 heat feels good

[finite glen]

better image

[tame panther]

My fastest run so far and I have probably made new friends

[jade wind]

killed hades for the first time using aspect of chaos

[finite glen]

Hold attack + spamming dash while divine prot is up and also consecutively activating dire misfortune = epic win

[magic iron]

YEY

[vestal solstice]

this was nuts... felt great

[dense trout]

https://youtu.be/ZzDOW8VXxgU

[strange token]

45 heat Hades spear!

[strange token]

followed by 45 heat zag sword

[lunar peak]

run #100 in the bag

[south pagoda]

https://i.imgur.com/m3tcmMW.png All achievements!! :D
also, here's a fun Demeter run I did yesterday

[strange token]

45 heat Chiron bow!

[vale marlin]

Insane heats, wtf.

[strange token]

thanks 🙂

[kindred sluice]

Just turned in the second-to-last of my finals for the semester, celebrating with a run of Hades 🥰

[cerulean torrent]

I did so so so much damage in such a short timeframe

Admittedly, it's not much

but there was so much damage coming from god-knows-where

[gritty nebula]

I somehow managed to beat EM4 Hades on my first try but it was SUPER close

V satisfied thi

Tho*

[woven coyote]

First time venturing outside!!!!! Felt AMAZING. I even got to fish out there, guess what i caught? A STURGEON! I'll be honest, I didn't actually use Malphon much at all except for applying weak. All the magic was in the Zeus chain lightning casts combo with Hermes returns, special kills healing me for 2.5% health, 34.8% dodge chance, and Aphrodite's call!

[vestal solstice]

used poseidon keepsake all the way to styx... no luck with rip boon

[kindred sluice]

Did somebody ask for a tank? I think I got hit by nearly every single one of Redacted's attacks

[lunar peak]

Haven't used Merciful End in a minute. Burnt down phase 2 in a single Greater Call (I got lucky and he fired lasers while standing in the fire). https://gyazo.com/53441162278835a6f8b5821b3de454b1

[strange token]

45 heat Talos fists

[finite glen]

First time trying out Demeter, id say it’s quite decent, and of course i get kinetic launcher which was the last thing i needed to complete the fist prophecy

[woven coyote]

Since my first ever clear barely used Malphons even though i had them equipped, i decided to do my second run dedicated to only using Malphons. Deflect OP!

[jade wind]

I've now beaten Hades more time that he's beaten me. Feels good man.

[tribal thunder]

Some people like to get cool builds. But what about no gods at all?

[rough sigil]

Achilles Spear that got carried by Poseidon Call

[frail pilot]

I accidentally grabbed ares keepsake before asphodel, turned out ok lol

[brave fulcrum]

FO2 EM4 was a nightmare

[hybrid furnace]

So uh... first run with Excaliber was first time breaking 1k damage on a single hit. Maxed out at over 4.5k on a crit. stood still and killed hades with this

[trim wyvern]

Finally vanquished Hades

[shadow helm]

Almost sub-15 on Eris Rail, it still feels really good to play with

[kindred sluice]

Getting back into it with the Zeus machine gun

[rough sigil]

I really wasn't feeling Beowulf... until I got Charged Shot 💯

[daring wasp]

So with this build EM4 Hades took 1 minute and 15.61 seconds from start (23:26.44) to finish (24:42.05), invul phases included. I had constantly had at least 16 beams spitting Chill at Hades, which was absurd DPS with Arctic Blast.

MVPs of the build:
Heroic lvl 4 Crystal Beam, common lvl 2 Glacial Glare, and common Arctic Blast from Demeter.
Common lvl 2 Support Fire and Fully Loaded from Artemis.
Extra Cast and +32% Cast Damage from Chaos.
Lightning Strike and Static Discharge from Zeus to apply PS when I remembered to.
The Crystal Clarity and Mirage Shot duo boons.
The Eris Rail and me forgetting I had Stygian Soul active when I started the run xD

[rough sigil]

5 dashes and 5 casts, the most fun I had with the fists. 💯

[humble flower]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[daring wasp]

New LaserCircus build for EM4, Achilles Spear this time. Artemis was nowhere near as kind to me as previously, so in order of importance: Duos and Major Damage boosters

[magic iron]

beautiful

[daring wasp]

Continuation on my previous (<#h1-victory-boasting message>): Primary DPS, extra east, +duration, and status effects for PS.

Really darn nice, @magic iron , but gotta ask, Did you replace an Ares Attack or Special? The one you used to meet the Zeus-Ares duo boon requirements?

[uncut harness]

finally my first win after 30+ escape attempts

[daring wasp]

Well done, Wanjun!!!

[magic iron]

@daring wasp No! I didn't replace anything really. Usually I don't replace attacks.

[uncut harness]

thank you 😄

[ionic nest]

Say no to mirror

[lunar peak]

Any Ares or Zeus core will work as a prereq for Vengeful Mood.

[daring wasp]

Oh, I thought you specifically needed one of Ares's Doom-cores

[lunar peak]

Not for VM, thankfully.

[echo lance]

Finally got my first 50 heat, blessed by Daedalus

[serene kiln]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SftDk2pD8Vo

[lunar peak]

second clear on the game 👍

38 attempt

[harsh condor]

when you get someone so drunk they die on the spot

that wasnt even everything too

i had a chaos boon for +80% attack dmg and urge to kill for +26% to most dmg

it was the most broken run ive ever had

by far

also a new record by 1 second

[regal sparrow]

was a fun melee build. Maybe second hammer would've helped, lol.

https://youtu.be/BLR_qSyk1rs

[finite glen]

Arctic blast is a literal blast on a Achilles Cast build

[regal sparrow]

dunno, felt meh

[frail pilot]

i switched my attack to right bumper after heroes and i should've done it much sooner

now if i could only aim the dash strikes

[finite glen]

May not look like much but i straight up slapped dad on his EM phase in less than 30 seconds

[frail pilot]

nice lol

[royal current]

ez

[finite glen]

Tried out Hestia, quite decent, but i think the cluster + rocket bomb carried more than the actual purpose of Hestia lol

I probably should have went for a arte dash for more dmg but eh

But man, aphro and rocket + cluster bomb with the unhealthy fixation is really broken lmao

[lunar peak]

Stupid Achilles Zeus special experiment turns into this nonsense

[regal sparrow]

@lunar peak did you want double Lightning strike on Achilles special?

Like one on throw and one on rush

[lunar peak]

That was the main reason I wanted to experiment with it, yeah

[regal sparrow]

did it work out?

[lunar peak]

The special hits as well on the rush

[regal sparrow]

btw, amazing that you can do 40 heat with that

I am kind of imagining that Trippy shot + duos carried that build tho

[lunar peak]

Bosses melted. The reason this run wasn't faster was because of a 4-sack LOL

It was mostly the Call and Smoldering Air, when I got it

Outside of that ? Special spam

With Flurry Jab nonsense

If anything, the cast was overkill lol

It did save me from dying to the heroes because I got hit in dumb ways

But that was it

[regal sparrow]

yea

Zeus call with Smoldering is so good

btw, does double strike affect it?

and Zeus legendary?

[silk shard]

Smoldering Air + Billowing Strength has salvaged a few terrible builds for me.

[alpine dagger]

close call

went for a darkness grind here, crazy how much i got

710 from the man himself, good god

[regal sparrow]

damn, that's dark

[hybrid furnace]

The most fun I've had in a run. Infinite weakness and doom while dashing around

(I found out if you input dash while retrieving Achilles it puts any dash debuffs on an enemy you go through)

[magic iron]

That was harsh

[alpine dagger]

ngl gilgamesh fists look badass man

beating the crap out of people with bear claws?

crazy

[dreamy heart]

It is badass as well

[loud granite]

It only took me 52 tries... But hey, I did it. I've really enjoyed the game so far. I have 34.4 hours in it as of this tweet. Not sure how I'll handle the upped difficulty from the Punishment Pacts...

[slate geyser]

oops i forgot to upgrade GY first

[alpine dagger]

no need to flex man, that thing is a huge pain

[slate geyser]

lol, i didn't really intend it as a flex so much as me rushing through hell mode too fast to realize "wait un-upgraded GY gives like 6 max hp per centaur heart, whoops"

[minor frost]

Didn't play optimally during the fight but god damn, this Blade Rift run went perfectly. All Blade Rift enhancing boons plus Hunting Blades in Styx. Melts his health like butter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isVYCvSLDCk

Could have been made better with even more cast stones

[silk shard]

What's wrong with your audio?

[regal sparrow]

@minor frost no blade dash? Get out of here!

(jk)

[minor frost]

@silk shard What's wrong with my audio is that I'm playing on a laptop not designed to do something like play this game while recording footage at the same time lmao

I chug frames at the best of times

@regal sparrow You're right I'm a fraud, video is getting deleted

[strange token]

45 heat Hera bow

[stable iris]

the d a m a g e

[weak anchor]

Curse of Pain LV. 10

[hybrid furnace]

Heroic lvl 10 too 👀

[strange token]

45 heat zag shield

[proud ledge]

Love me a good trippy shot run

I've been seriously underestimating the achilles aspect, bonus damage here had me doing 1000+ damage per cast

[quasi aurora]

just my 4th clear, had my best run yet with achilles and hunting blades. lots of fun! time could be faster but i end up chatting in middle of runs

[strange token]

45 heat guan yu!

[hybrid ember]

Not super far into heat yet, but proud of this build, and that time

[silent star]

whew, my fastest time

[mortal stratus]

shield, unsurprisingly, was nowhere near as painful as sword and spear

4/24 50 heats complete

[lunar peak]

Oh, Jesus. Godspeed.

[hybrid ember]

Synergy-filled run. That duo boon + blinding flash really helped in the end

[silk shard]

Look at those purps! 💜

[hybrid ember]

I want to get good enough that I don't need to go through all my death defiances and have mostly purples to beat hades (on one heat no less). Maybe one day

[loud granite]

@weak anchor @hybrid furnace What about it? Isn't it normal to be this high?

[slim mirage]

My second completed run, I was invincible

[acoustic shadow]

I'm sub-25 now! Yay!
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EoyL-1XVEAAb7tM?format=jpg&name=large

And I present: The Boss Wrecker (also this was the first time I did EM3 and I first tried it pretty safely too)!
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EoyMY-YU0AAs_VO?format=jpg&name=large

[bitter finch]

blades go brrrrrrr

[glad drift]

interesting combo, bombs for over 1.1k damage.

[rough sigil]

Made it work with Poseidon attack. 💯

[blazing bluff]

So hear me out. Chiron + Hourglass + Jerky stacking = sub 9

[rough sigil]

Anvil replacing Relentless Volley, bruh. 💯

[rigid stump]

Doom stacks FTW

[ionic nest]

40 mirrorless GY

[cold sapphire]

oof... tough choice.

[woven geyser]

Without the rest of your build I don't know what's better although, in general I think low tolerance is better.

I just had 5x Casts with Ice Wine, Stygian Soul and aspect of Achillies. One of the most fun runs I've done out of around 250.

[cold sapphire]

I got both baybeeeeeeee

AND the boon that extends Weakness duration, AND heartrend

Living in the sunlight, critting everyone I fight, having a wonderful tiiiiime~

[woven geyser]

What theme is that @cold sapphire ?

[cold sapphire]

The minstrel one I think?

[woven geyser]

Woodland?

[cold sapphire]

That might've been it!

[minor frost]

That theme is Sonorous i think

[slate geyser]

yeah the one shown above is Sonorous and costs 10(?) ambrosia to purchase

[winged lava]

hey guys, what was your best streak? mine was 21 xD

[alpine dagger]

good god that was way too close

[minor frost]

Best streak I've had was 19, can't remember if it was broken because I threw trying to get Asterius autograph or not

[finite glen]

Tried my best with a Zag bow build, it was quote decent but it could’ve been much better.

Atleast i got an abyssal eclipse with 90% darkness and gems

[finite glen]

A slower but better run, also: did I ever tell you guys that Charged Volley is an absolute massacre Aphro Special and Chaos Flourish?

[strange token]

45 heat zeus zag bow

[winged lava]

huun? what is this?

[strange token]

45 heat chaos shield

[lunar peak]

my first cast run

[winged lava]

DEAR GOD 45 ? i'm on 10

[strange token]

Keep at it, 10 is getting up there

[winged lava]

for curiosity how is your mirror build?

[strange token]

you can see it on the victory screen near the top

[winged lava]

oh yeah i don't keep this screen open so much xD that i forgot that it had that

on high heats its really necessary to use the "infinite" revival, instead od the 3 life one? i prefer the 3 lives because i can be more carefree against hades

[strange token]

Pretty much yeah, since one of the pact options means you can't heal at all outside of losing your death defiance

so you can pretty much heal to 30% every single room with the stubborn defiance

[simple zenith]

@lunar peak there's your deadly flourish chaos shield build

[steady shuttle]

Had to beg for everyone to help me out in this run

[winged lava]

please teach me then.. i1m 90th ish runs in trying to find this damn blessing of chaos, for ressuction to complete the prophecy kk

[pastel marten]

do you have the right defiance selected

[winged lava]

yeah, the one you have 3 chances right? its my main one

[pastel marten]

you need at least 1 chaos boon before you can get offered

use god's legacy. potentially reroll at wells for more chaos gates

[ruby mist]

I've seen the chaos defiance before but never when I'm in a position to live beyond the curse

[proper barn]

How I'd love to pin that image

(But I won't)

[winged lava]

thx for the tips

[strange token]

45 heat frosty zag rail

[winged lava]

hey can i send here a img of the sea creatures of hades? i'm still missing three and don't see to find them xD i would like tips (i play on portuguese so, the names will be differente) or if you guys have any wiki with this info

[proper barn]

This channel is primarily for victory screen pictures and talk about its highlights. If you'd like help with that, #h1-discussion would be a better place to ask 🙂

[winged lava]

but i cant send the img there owo

well okay i will go there anyway, thx \o

[finite glen]

Tried out an Ice Wine build on Beo, pretty epic with the numbers but man, good thing i had pulverizing blow cuz that delay on ice wine is sucky

Oh yeah, 660+ darkness from dad

[sly hedge]

Not even close.

[winged lava]

i think this is the best combo ever, zeus shield and zeus lightning xD

[mossy tundra]

its in the blood :3

peace xD

[finite fjord]

not victory boasting, but i just beat the game for the first time but didn't take a screenshot, is there a way i can see the build i used?

[tacit blaze]

There is, eventually, but if that was your first clear it will likely take a while to get there

[lunar peak]

^

[tacit blaze]

You have to unlock the ||Administrative Chamber|| in the House

[finite fjord]

Good to know

[simple zenith]

unfortunately forgot to get the victory screen OR record my run but achilles 45 is donezo

[lunar peak]

third clear 👍

[lapis oxide]

good job ig

[hearty hound]

Ok that was fun

[lunar peak]

trying out new strats and accidentally got the sub-13 i wanted

[grave vector]

@serene kiln please post that video in #self-promotion!

[simple schooner]

First 16 Heat Clear with Eris

[pure lily]

its on the second line below the heat modifiers at the top. retrash is very good. recommend watching some of his youtube videos

[winged lava]

sub 13? HOW, i didn't even get sub 20 yet kk

[royal current]

practice

[lunar peak]

practice and planning out your build ahead of time

[lunar peak]

nemesis

[tame crater]

my god is it annoying to build around the crystal beam

[tacit storm]

Is there a discord-wide record for most challenging run in here? I’m relatively new, so I don’t know how high people can get their heat/how low they can get their mirror and still win. Is there a cap?

Or simply, fastest time.

[vital ether]

scroll up in heat chat we talked about it the highest that someone has reached is 57 from 2 ppl

you can find their runs in youtube

[proud tiger]

Probably not the fastest here but I've gotten a 10:49 run.

[tacit storm]

Oh cool!

[proud tiger]

Don't have a victory screen so I can't post it here 😩

[tacit storm]

Still cool. I’ll take your word for it.

[vital ether]

yeah I saw someone with 7 minutes

[proud tiger]

(i mean ||there is there administration chamber but it says don't post that in the channel desc||)

[vital ether]

everytime you finish it has your best record

[lunar peak]

You can check speedrun.com as well for fastest times

And there's a spreadsheet with high heat clears pinned in #h1-high-heat-strategies

[tacit storm]

Ahh, excellent.

[winged lava]

well this is a thing that i don't do XD kkk

[tame crater]

that was surprisingly easy with arthur aspect

this keepsake makes olympian free run too easy id say

[lunar peak]

impressive

finally i beat my old best time!!🥺

[tame crater]

i mean it's double damage on arthur sword

i don't think any more boon needed

[tame crater]

why not try other weapons tho

spear sucks tho

[lunar peak]

im terrible with the sword so that’s a god tier victory to me

[tame crater]

that's a one-shot sword

[lunar peak]

idk i just like these weapons a lot rn

[tame crater]

welp okie then

i just grinded darkness in the beginning and grew to like everything

except the spear..

spear sucks

[lunar peak]

i feel that, i cant manage with the spear unless im using a Certain Aspect

[winged lava]

how did you get 3 hammers? i only get 2 at most xD

[tame crater]

oh i rolled 1

[lunar peak]

yea spear isn't my style really but i plan to clear w all at some point

[winged lava]

aspect of rama is sweet

[tame crater]

it sure is

woah

[winged lava]

now i'm not so sure wich one is my favorite, rama or chirion xD

[tame crater]

all weapons enjoyer

[lunar peak]

rama all the way

[tame crater]

chiron is weird.. can't get nowhere near as much damage as with rama

rama is just.. too strong

[winged lava]

oh it sure can xD

i can assure you

[tame crater]

it just doesn't scale without the right hammer for me

which i never get

i dunno

don't like it as much, fun to play tho

[winged lava]

this same build i did with rama, would be better on chirrion if i switched the atk poseidon boon for a special one

[lunar peak]

this i love chiron but hammers keep giving me all the nonspecial ones ×__×

[tame crater]

i don't know any boon pictures so i can only read description, which is alien to me

[winged lava]

i always get +4 arrows when i play quirion xD

[tame crater]

those are.. ok

the one with scaling is so much better tho

never get it

+3 for each consecutive

this one

[pallid iron]

Whew

[winged lava]

oh yeah this is the better one

[pallid iron]

I'm still a noob, but I'm getting there

[tame crater]

you're getting there

[winged lava]

you have to start somewhere, you are doing a good job

[tame crater]

@lunar peak hey, nice nick

[pallid iron]

Hazard Bomb is hilarious

[winged lava]

its fine xD

[tame crater]

i don't think haelian would agree

[winged lava]

hazard bomb plus artemis is insane xD

[tame crater]

but yeaaaa

[winged lava]

1k dmg

[pallid iron]

500 is still good

[tame crater]

Haelian lost a no damage run thanks to hazard bomb

x d moment

i believe its the hitbox got patched after that

funny

[pallid iron]

I also stacked a bunch of Attack boosts

Not an Attack boon, funnily enough

[lunar peak]

^^i wanna try that rail again it looks fun but i dont do great w it

[pallid iron]

+50% from Chaos, +40% from Privileged Status, 141 damage from Jolted, 10% increased attack speed, +22% from Blood Frenzy

Not the most damage on one enemy, but it is ridiculously good at clearing rooms

Especially in the Temple of Styx

[regal sparrow]

felt like Mirage Shot did not work

https://youtu.be/fFJMqphc8JU

cut thru dad like hot knife thru butter tho

[hasty junco]

haha laser beams go brrr

[frigid ore]

lazer beams DO GO BRRR
also 101 run,
10th visit topside,
true ending of ||mother's home||
gah so happy

[supple kite]

First time beating EM4, fun build, didn't get everything I wanted until late, which made it a bit slower than I hoped, but still sub 20 - I'm pretty happy.

[thorn sentinel]

my victory boasting is that I spent hours trying hard to beat Hades on Extreme Measures, and yet the one time I decided I would play casually I beat him 😆

[cyan thunder]

First sub 20.

[dense verge]

first time trying 32 heat, went far smoother than expected

[iron thistle]

Sub 10mins all weapons completed!!!

[frail pilot]

Nice man

[strange token]

all zag aspects streaked at 45 heat

[simple zenith]

hate posting after retrash lmfao

@ionic nest call the next one

[ionic nest]

what a god

[simple zenith]

i literally god cucked out of merciful end like 3 times because i forgot to put on legacy

[ionic nest]

spear gonna be a pain

[simple zenith]

then got it last room

[glacial acorn]

I don't think I've had a Demeter Chiron run before:

It was pretty fun

Also I managed to get that achievement for maxing every keepsake early on the run, so that's out of the way

Only one more to go before 100% achievements now

[strange token]

Rest of the aspects from the 45 heat streak

[frail pilot]

Bro, lol

[lunar peak]

OHH U GOOD

[crisp ginkgo]

I love that all your weapons have almost the same levels of heat. it makes my ocd very happy

[hasty junco]

I need to work on rail more, I neglect it lol

[lunar peak]

dat 54 heat zag sword

[marsh shore]

Solid fun run farming last bit I need for fated persuasion. Had heart rend immediately after getting the two first boons in Tartarus. There goes my duo luck for a while.

[heavy hull]

duos out the wazoo

[marsh shore]

Second run with my new favorite build. Literally not even forcing these duos. Had 4 duos before end of third area lol. Dash slot is w.e. Was looking for Athena dash but it did get me a few Dino Duos. I also feel damn near invulnerable constantly spamming Athena call. Also how about 5 duos @heavy hull

God’s Legacy >>>>>

[mystic hearth]

No heart rend feelsbadman

[marsh shore]

Got it the first time and hades melted either way lol. Like I said wasn’t searching

Doing it again. One duo before end of first area so far

[marsh shore]

And broke my record. 7 duos and 1 Hermès legendary in one run.

*I sold parting shot

[bitter finch]

mad numbers

[hoary bear]

Why is it that my PBs are always when I do a high heat farm with whatever weapon has darkness boost atm?

[lunar peak]

That moment when you accidentally streak 45 heat

Bonus Rama win

[simple zenith]

no RI? pog

[lunar peak]

Hmm Hmm

Achilles Zeus Special Start is legit

To deal with DC

Then you can either nab a cast in Tartarus

Or go Athena and get Phalanx Shot, so that DDs open up

[simple zenith]

oh i meant for arthur

[lunar peak]

Oh

Arthur I just did it on a whim lol

[simple zenith]

nice triple point blank on rama btw you gamesharker

try to make the seeding a little less obvious next time

[lunar peak]

... If I did that

I'd make it so I don't get Tiny Vermin when I run Rama

[flat trout]

i read “achilles zeus special start” and i thought you meant zeus shield with my bracer for a second and i was like ???

[lunar peak]

I think my first attempt got nabbed because of vermin +4 sack

[simple zenith]

oof

[lunar peak]

Rushed Hades a bit too much and died

BTW, almost did 45 fists too lol

But I goofed

[lucid glacier]

Starting to feel competent.
I'm gonna try medium heats this weekend

[vital ether]

I was going for the dio legendary but he never gave me what was required... still a fun run though

[night bramble]

this was a few runs ago but, rocket + cluster bomb is insane geez i wish rocket was the default special

[neat mist]

I saw Haelian doing this on a stream so i wanted to give it a go. A boonless run

[mystic hearth]

noice

[royal current]

@lunar peak not dash strike arthur?

[vital ether]

Hermes Demeter Dio cast combo insane damage 3 legendaries 1 duo

[hollow glen]

FIRST TIME CLEARING, AND I'VE GOT NO IDEA WHAT I'M LOOKING AT XD

[night bramble]

ayyy nice

[marsh shore]

Interesting build for first clear.

[hollow glen]

not like i was really looking for a build, honestly XD

just going for a dot crit build, and that's what i got XD

[bronze shoal]

So you were literally only using your special to proc the headache?

[hollow glen]

i had a call from dio too, but yeah, basically.

[bronze shoal]

ah cool

[vital ether]

gotta say sniper build kinda op

[night bramble]

@hollow glen you re gonna wanna try puttingg dio on attack and use that duo and also his duo with ares

[hollow glen]

I was thinking about that, but i never seem to run into ares that much.

[night bramble]

Ah yeah

Well its worth getting his keepsake if you ever wanna try it

[hollow glen]

I got all but... 2?

[night bramble]

For the olympains?

Who s dont you have

[hollow glen]

Uhhh... idk...? XD

No joke, i've gone into this game 100% blind

[night bramble]

Oh wow

How many runs have you done

[hollow glen]

Uhh... 26 was the final number, iirc.

Gotten to hades about... 4 times, got to the second stage 2 times, then this morning, first run with my spear, and here we are XD

[night bramble]

Damn thats quick

[crisp ginkgo]

thats surprising you havnet seen him yet

[hollow glen]

Seen who, exactly?

Ares?

@crisp ginkgo

[crisp ginkgo]

yeah

[hollow glen]

Oh, i have! But he doesn't show up that much, honestly.

Like, i've had entire runs where he just never pops up on a door.

[crisp ginkgo]

fair enough. if you're doing keepsakes for other gods, then he's less likely to show up, plus i think you're capped at 4 gods per run if anyone wants to fact check (that's assuming no keepsakes, i've gotten 4 different ones in Tartarus then threw on the Athena keepsake for 5)

*not counting Hermes either i believe? fact check me plz people

[lunar peak]

yep

if you force a 5th god

it will kick one god out of the slots

[crisp ginkgo]

do u know how the god is picked that's kicked

that explains why some of my sea storm setups didnt happen haha

[lunar peak]

unfortunately not, i asked that before as well

[crisp ginkgo]

no worries

[lunar peak]

i just avoid some gods at the start when i feel i don't really want them

[crisp ginkgo]

like i would love to get an early strong drink from dionysus then get rid of him

get my 5% from fam favorite

and not have to try to make hangover work

[hollow glen]

ok, i lied, i'm missing 3 people's keepsakes.

[simple zenith]

it doesnt kick one out the slots

you just end up with 5 god pool

[lunar peak]

huh, really?

[simple zenith]

yup

[lunar peak]

that's what people have been saying

mb

[crisp ginkgo]

one of them is chaos, give them nectar, the other ones are after 10 clears

[hollow glen]

oh, ok. thanks.

[simple zenith]

yeah if there were a way to remove gods from pools i'd be in that in a heartbeat

[lunar peak]

i thought it was true cause i had instances where i don't see a certain god again after getting a 5th

but could've been bad rng

[simple zenith]

yeah its mostly rng - the bad thing about a 5 god pool is it decreases ur chances of seeing a duo/legendary you want

but if you just want boons it's not bad

[lunar peak]

"- Have you selected at least 4 gods (ignoring Hermes / chaos) throughout the run?
- If yes, random equally between the set you have selected
- If no, random equally between all gods

So no, having gods in your "pool" before it is capped does not do anything. As Museus frequently says, "there is no pool until you have 4 gods""

TIL

oops sorry for spamming this channel

[simple zenith]

yup

[hollow glen]

oh, woops... yeah, my fault.

[solar wind]

Wasn't too bad. Just went through all extra defiances at Heroes 🙂

[ionic nest]

AP 2 gamer

And congrats

[solar wind]

tbh i think AP just has soo much heat that it's worth it

[gritty nebula]

Sorry for bad quality but this was so satisfying

Also not picturex - mirage shot

So 6 of em out at once

[lunar peak]

oh wow this build

https://gyazo.com/2e9dfe3de47ff23a8307d569986ed2d0

Speaking of nutty Cast builds.

https://gyazo.com/4281eec5b1ace1ab8a2ac0dd5d1174ac

[gritty nebula]

Niiiiiiice!

[dry oyster]

i just got the best bow build

Triple shot and explosive shots

I was a walking bomb

[magic iron]

yeee

[serene river]

the dream team

[tough orchid]

Fairly enjoyable one... but it made me remember how much I miss crutching on Plume

[winged lava]

FINALLY a personal victory

[violet plaza]

ez as pie
just had to luck into patroclus when I had nothing but 16 health left

[simple zenith]

zeus shield? kind of good

[tough orchid]

wtf... Lucifer is insane... 2nd run on it and it feels better/safer than Eris

And Ares Aid feels great on it... perfect window for Triple Bomb almost... (3x bomb/i-frame call/3x bomb)

[finite glen]

Man this merciful end build was awesome, but man, I definitely recommend explosive upper on Demeter cuz its straight up baller

[crisp ginkgo]

First EM4 clear!

[hasty junco]

Dio call + Smoldering Air is fun lol

[glacial acorn]

So I managed to stumble upon the Splitting Bolt + Sea Storm combo during a Talos run:

[tough orchid]

The best way to play the sword: pick another weapon

[strange token]

47 heat Excalibur, no extra dashes, no double edge, just pure tank

[prisma rampart]

@terse reef just found the weekly challenges today, did #3 immediately because i Guan Yu

[bitter finch]

i've been trying to get parting shot but still fail

[hardy thunder]

I finally managed to 0ko hades

No additional heat on him tho

[lunar peak]

not me hoarding death defiance for no reason

ye$ zag shield only so far but as u can tell i just like to play safe thjdhsk

I love the shield too, 2nd favourite weapon haha

[night bramble]

@lunar peak you havent tried the other aspects?

[lunar peak]

https://gyazo.com/a8dbf9d33910ffd0cda3c22b754db3b9 D R U N K E N D A S H

Time with a 3-sack too

[lunar peak]

hmm well i did use chaos for a while but i felt like the effect didnt matter so much for me. i like zag’s cuz there’s no setup. u just have a bonus all the time and can forget about it.
i also tried zeus shield like literally once but iirc it was weird having less control... i think it like, goes off and u have to call it back, right¿

[random pasture]

hades got rolled

[rose osprey]

Not sure if this is a good strategy but it seemed interesting

[night bramble]

im guessing you only put 1 titan blood in so far? because once you max chaos its gonna give you like 4 shield to throw and that can work really well with some boons

and yeah zues takes some getting used to

[tough orchid]

Couldn't pull it out even with 100% dodge

and ap2 blocking my merciful end twice to be expected, I guess

[tough orchid]

Fishing stops the in game clock, so #worth

The clock also stops a lot in boon selection... item selection...
You can turn on a stopwatch in one of the options menus

[lunar peak]

I think it stops whenever you aren't fighting? Idk, or else I'd have some insanely long times due to sometimes just leaving Zagreus standing here after clearing a room while I do something else haha

[weak jay]

it stops on:
npc rooms
pause
boon menu
dialogue/boon picking
fishing

yep

picking rooms takes surprising chunk of time

so does picking items in shops

a lot of people pause while making decisions

[lunar peak]

talos double meme

[icy remnant]

2nd EM4 win with aspect of Hestia, very fun and powerful

[lunar peak]

Aspect of Hestia is the best

Shotgun for the win

[icy remnant]

It's a bit boon dependent, but i got lucky. DD plus deflect gives 20% crit, with Aphrodite on attack, and weak enemy takes more damage. got crit for up to 3k damage

I got the hammer that pierce, Theseus got destroyed lol

Plus ricochet

[winged lava]

when the gods favor you xD, 1k hits almost every time

the blade was the cherry on the cake rs

[glad drift]

Excellent Hoarding Slash run

[vital ether]

what does that do?

[winged lava]

nothing, hades himself said so

its just another thing to spend your money if you have it

[winged lava]

HOW? 3k coins?

[vital ether]

oh good

[grave vector]

robbed thanatos :D

[lunar peak]

More satisfying than the epilogue, Alma.

[neat axle]

Was gonna do a rocket bomb run but it went this direction which I'm not mad about

[icy remnant]

Holy moly, how did you get that much coins?

The DPS is insane

[glad drift]

All thanks to Chaos' Affluence

[icy remnant]

Perfect synergy on your boons really

Did you start with the purse? Did you sell anything, or robbed Charon?

[glad drift]

Actually didn't start with the purse, sold some boons, didn't fight Charon. I got the first Affluence boon in Tartarus and entered an Erebus gate at the end of it (which gave 300 obols), I also found at least two obol troves.

[icy remnant]

I see, nice luck! You could have destroyed EM4 with this build!

[stoic pulsar]

scuffed screenshot of the final run of streaking all aspects at 40 heat

[icy remnant]

Congrats!

[warm tundra]

YOOOO I DID IT

I DEFEATED EXTREME HADES AT LAST

[violet plaza]

finally got a time I'm proud of
Merciful End is ridiculous

[acoustic spruce]

my first ever hades completion...i know nothing about boon synergy or whatever all i knew was to start teh athena dash deflect lmfao either way im proud <33 any advice on future runs and stuff to look out for?

[night bramble]

damn you were on your last defieance

howd it feel

[lunar peak]

that looks pretty fast for a first clear, congrats! my only general advice for early on is like focus on getting darkness + keys before gems, so you can play w the mirror + figure out what you need from boons (sorry i cant be more helpful, i havent made it out w the fists)

[cosmic kernel]

I got my first successful run not too long ago. Don't have much to say except I almost cried at the ending

[exotic steeple]

Cursed slash hold autoattack and afk run 😄

[pallid iron]

I swear, the Aspect of Talos basically solves every problem I have with the Twin Fists of Malaphon

[vital ether]

Yeah that's common

[violet plaza]

talos/draining cutter was my fav when I first started

it's the most forgiving way to play

[pallid iron]

This was my first run with Talos

And my first time with Draining Cutter

I drew it in the first room

It's so good

This is the first time I've won without dying to the final boss once

Granted, that's also because I've been trying to get better about actually reading the tells

[simple schooner]

new pb 👀

[wraith merlin]

125 hours in and finally achieved my first EM4 kill! No DDs spent either which is ridiculous for me. Hera + 6 casts of Crush Shot with Parting Shot and Exit Wounds Quick Reload and Hermes legendary... 2ez.

[lunar peak]

damn ok new record🥺🥺i luv arthur aspect sm

[slate geyser]

50 heat hera!

[simple zenith]

all the nuts

[lunar peak]

I also just finished a double edge piercing wave nem run

[simple zenith]

it's pretty nice

good hammers

[wicked turret]

finally finished a run with the spear and I definitely find it to be my absolute favorite

[acoustic spruce]

like i was chewing 5 gum

[strange token]

45 heat zeus shield

[frail pilot]

Beo is an actually fun shield, Shouldve tried it sooner

The dmg towards the end surprised me

[rose osprey]

Ah, the classic serrated point plus extra dashes plus extra dash-attack damage plus extra attack damage build

[stiff flare]

So close to the sub-15. I got a 3-room Styx, which I didn’t think would screw me over, but ended up doing.

[strange token]

45 heat hestia rail

[dense cape]

100th clear "Happy Centennial", Supergiant is the best! Also amazing synergy between Aspect of Eris and Hazard Bomb (missclick that changed the run a lot haha)

[lunar peak]

fastest fists time yet lets gooo

[weak anchor]

Chop chop

[rancid hedge]

Let’s gooooooo

First win

I love the ice beams

[coarse patrol]

Having the homing blade rifts is super fun

[vestal willow]

My first win, lore is pretty sad ngl

[strange token]

45 heat gilgamesh

[lunar peak]

blade dash

[tough orchid]

Ok, I actually cannot believe I lost this one... guess that's the punish for taking bad news over +1 dash, greater reflex

lelz wrong screen cap... but I had 100% dodge again but still misplayed it

[empty berry]

broke the 40 heat barrier, twin+flurry shot is real nice

[glad horizon]

first ever EM4, this build was really really fun

[uncut harness]

second victory 😄

[strange token]

45 heat meme beam achilles

[finite glen]

Dang no crystal clarity?

[strange token]

nope 😦

[finite glen]

Rip

[winged lava]

3 things to say:
1-HOW CAN SOMEONE not love chirion?
2-who is the best bow? who is? yes you are
3- learning with the best girl

[tough orchid]

we did it... cheesing the way into the high heat club

[winged lava]

HOW? almost sub10 man

with the rail to boot, i think she is the slowest weapon possible

[tough orchid]

Nah, that was 15. My best run is almost sub 10

Rail? Rail is the fastest weapon in the game

Eris, that is

[winged lava]

i can't play well with eris xD, i only play with hidden aspect or zagreus

[tough orchid]

That was Zag fists though. Cheesed near 100% dodge

[finite glen]

How does dodging work?

[tough orchid]

In what regard? In what it dodges? In the way it stacks?

I've been told it's additive. And from my experience, it seems to be able to dodge nearly everything just not some ground aoes and traps

[finite glen]

Basically what it does most of the time

[tough orchid]

If something would hit you, it does not
100% DR

On that hit

[finite glen]

Ok, but like, when your about to get hit, what action do you do?

[weak jay]

dashing has iframes

[finite glen]

Cuz i thought the dodging mechanic would just do an automatic dash or invincibility

[weak jay]

dodge chance from hermes is just passive dodge

[tacit blaze]

This conversation is probably best suited to #h1-builds-and-combat

[finite glen]

Oh ok

[vagrant pendant]

After 74 hours ive done it 😌

[finite glen]

Soaker

[slate geyser]

50 heat achilles!

[finite glen]

I tried going for a Venge mood + mercy end + curse of longing
Sad part is that i had a run that was relatively going well until i reached elysium, i already got merciful end on tartarus, and got the revenge boons for venge mood, but when i got to elysium and found out i made a mistake, i accidently pressed give up instead of quit

And this was my second attempt

[hardy thunder]

first 10 heat

[hardy thunder]

11heat

[simple zenith]

i am bad at dodging

[finite glen]

The fact I also got an epic rarity greatest reflex + 30% dodge chance and also how most of my boons were epic rarity makes this build epic

[silk shard]

After almost a month of not playing, I came back and got my fourth EM4 win, with Lucifer. This run was kind of weak until Styx, when I got the Smoldering Air + Billowing Strength combo.

[hardy thunder]

first EM dad clear

[vital ether]

first time lucifer. Not my style but still maybe the faster hades i've done

[finite glen]

Hera Dio build, real

[regal sparrow]

Finally, after like 20 failed tries, I have completed Heat 32

with Zag sword Lambent Plume build )

[vital ether]

Congarts!

[regal sparrow]

damn it, I have just noticed that I forgot to change from Ruthless Reflex for heat 32

lol

[regal sparrow]

zag shield with Pulverizing is pretty easy

shame I didn't get any good chaos boons

[simple schooner]

sub 15 boys 👀

[vital ether]

congrats

[lunar peak]

24 secs past deadline

[regal sparrow]

not even close

[lunar peak]

what

[regal sparrow]

I mean, it's obviously very close

[glad storm]

The fates truly smiled upon me

[cosmic kernel]

First Victory with the bow and second victory over all

[cosmic kernel]

First Victory with the Fists And 3rd victory over all. I have to say that Zagreus’s aspect combined with Hermes’s keepsake and blessings is ridiculous

[vital ether]

Congrats!

[loud mirage]

JUST GOT MY FIRST WIN!

[tawdry basin]

First win

[violet merlin]

last night i finally beat the boss on the 4th extreme measures mode
first time i saw the changes i was YELLING lmao
i cheered just as much when i finally beat 'em 😂

[regal sparrow]

idk, guan yu felt really bad

even with all the right boons

[finite glen]

Dear god.. and this was just gonna be a Hera w/ Ice wine, Scintillating Feast, and black out

[drifting crane]

First Railgun Escape

[cosmic kernel]

First Victory with the Spear and 4th of victory over all

[silk shard]

Two heroic boons? That's some crazy luck.

[stray spoke]

Close call

[crisp ginkgo]

just completed run 150 (55 clears)

[stoic pulsar]

50 heat fast

[glacial acorn]

I ran into the Sea Storm/Splitting Bolt combo again tonight:

It really does jut delete things

Honestly my only regret is that I was running Eris rail instead of Zag

[covert nova]

First rail win to finish off a win with each of the infernal arms! I accidentally turned it into a cast run

[finite glen]

Mirage + Blizzard Shot Build w/ Achilles

[finite fjord]

Spear of Athens build! Suprised how good Hades' aspect of the Spear really is, especially when enhanced with Daedelus hammers... those spin attacks, man.

[vital ether]

maybe it's worth another chance... hmm ill try it

[simple zenith]

4/4 rail aspects done

[finite fjord]

In case you didn’t know, you can dash instead of letting go of attack to trigger a dash attack version of the speen, makes it a lot easier to avoid enemy attacks

[vital ether]

I know that i just need to gest used at the spin attack since it's the key with this aspect

[fervent bobcat]

My very first win against the lord of the underworld!

[bitter finch]

i don't get the subtitle on victory

[vital ether]

I think Hades didn't have fun

[vital ether]

even though it was heatless this weapons is so fun there so many possible cast builds

[gritty heart]

https://i.imgur.com/ZdCTaFM.png heard you like duos

[sonic horizon]

my first clear! sorry for the low quality

[vital ether]

congrats!

[signal mulch]

festive fog carried this whole run lol

[glad horizon]

I normally don't enjoy the rail (hence the small amount of runs) but this one was really fun. the last fight went so well that I still had 2 charges on the acorn when it was over lol

[true hazel]

I picked up the duo boon to sell, but couldn't sell it. Legendary boons are so much fun lol

[ionic nest]

gotta go fast boyo

[kindred sluice]

nice!

[simple zenith]

nice high heat clear boyo

[ionic nest]

that's it for the speedruns, already bored

[simple zenith]

LOL

[slow stream]

getting back into hades with a chill GY run

[lunar peak]

THIS BUILD..

[slow stream]

the boons weren't exactly what i wanted, made the god's legacy pretty meh. But divine massive spin with swift strike rare was pretty lulzy

[regal sparrow]

horrible horrible run

Ares disappeared after Tartarus

Athena gave like 10 boons and useless duo

Aphro gave me all boons and no duos

and I got 5 sacked at the end of styx

barely squeezed in with tight deadline ticking and 35 hp left

[vital ether]

😕 yeah stuff like that happen... rly unlucky better luck next tim!

It's actually rly annoying when they just completely abandon you

[twilit pasture]

Nothing like anything else here but I made it to Elysium for the first time

[frosty stone]

Hey good job man!

Have fun with the butterfly balls

[warped mango]

Hello there.
Can Turkish language support come for Hades?

[tardy lagoon]

try #hades-localization

Unlocked this 'amazing' statue (the run itself is probably not going be that impressive, it was just ME)

[honest bone]

My 2nd victory on extreme measures hades and only lost a single death defiance

oh god it's the cursed french hades

[royal current]

finally got nemesis down to a nice time

[trim kiln]

My first 32 heat win! 🎉

[drifting crane]

I tanked way too much damage against Hades but I killed him so fast

[simple zenith]

true shot + DR = stonks

[regal sparrow]

personal best with Demeter Fists after like 7 resets

despite 10% Legendary/Duo chance in mirror - no legendary or duo that I needed

imma switch back to god's pride

[spare blaze]

first 50 heat clear! hestia is fun

[warm tundra]

YOO NOW I DEFEATED EXTREME HADES WITHOUT DYING

[regal sparrow]

finally a damaging build

https://youtu.be/-IqGaSTRnFk

[craggy musk]

BEHOLD the lucky resource farm run

[regal sparrow]

[dusky ledge]

WHAT THE HELL HOW

[simple zenith]

o pog

[dull coral]

Just got my third ambrosia woo

[hasty junco]

Finally made sub-10

[idle escarp]

well this was nice.
doom stacking+ chiron aspect = big BOOM DOOM

[dusky ledge]

i diiiiiid it

[stuck kayak]

Just beat the first boss really tough

[simple zenith]

rama kinda good

[lunar peak]

That hot hot +450% shot.

I'd say it's an alright aspect

[marsh shore]

Second time attempting above 20 heat and first time beating heat 32. (First 32 heat run i died with hades at about 15% health on third life). Both time I realized I forgot to use my skelly. (And no these duos ain’t that lucky, with this built I’ve gotten on average 4 duos a run, aiming for the first 3).

And no relentless or concentrated

[lunar peak]

Now that's a lot of green

[dull coral]

The color of best girl

[fleet elbow]

I got my first 32 heat win earlier tonight and I lost 2 death defiances like a boss in styx bc I had heightened security and kept activating the axes

[simple zenith]

dash x4000

[green tree]

probably the closest run I've had

[half fern]

after an almost 2 week break to focus on my classes I get a new pb, happy with the improvement and I hope to keep it up and hit a sub 10 soon

[simple zenith]

mirror stinky @lime bane was right

[nimble wolf]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/700270973898850374/788299838957289472/unknown.png

my first victory

[still shadow]

i know it isn't much, but i forgot to change my pact of punishment before going into my run, in my last run i just wanted to die once and get it over and done with quick for a piece of dialogue, turns out, i completed a run without realising double damage was on

[kindred sluice]

hahaha, nice!

[still shadow]

yeah, i was certaintly shocked when i accidentally took a cast from hades then proceed to take 100 damage or so from a single attack lol

normally i run the shield one and a couple levels of extreme measures

[vital ether]

Hades will have Posseidon nightmares for 1 week

[delicate veldt]

got through EM4 with this build

[bitter finch]

lmao

i wish i could get parting shot tho but athena didn't come home

[vagrant pendant]

Athena? Never heard of her...

[stray spoke]

Got my first 32 heat clear with Eris this morning came down to the last hit

[vagrant pendant]

All i wanted was Poseidon's Call and the upgrade boon for it, not all of these :(

[hybrid furnace]

DoT damage run 🙂 some of the more fun I've had

[bitter finch]

i'm not sure how black out works but ye

and i certainly hate ice wine's targetting

[magic iron]

that was hard

[tame shore]

all 32 heat for bow done now, but it was fun failing the heart rend roll 9 times this run + 8 times the run before

[regal sparrow]

got almost perfect Achilles backstab/crit auto-attack build and it still felt a bit meh in the end

https://imgur.com/a/RNKLKFp

https://youtu.be/qo8QJgBCifQ

[finite glen]

Poseidon w/ Parting Shot + Lightning Phalanx Build! Gotta love doing 1.4k backstab damage

[fallow mountain]

This run was.. nuts

I beat Hades in like 2 minutes

he didn't even attack once in the second phase of the second phase because I got to kill him while he tried to summon the pots

got the duo that made every boon afterwars rare in tartarus.

[regal sparrow]

wanted to do a build like that but was always resetting to get a perfect start and never got to it

does Phalanx apply Jolted for Cold Fusion to be relevant?

[finite glen]

Nah, i just wanted cold fusion since i already had jolted on my zeus special and a demeter attack so i might as well get cold fusion

[regal sparrow]

so you were applying lightning with special

[finite glen]

Yep

[regal sparrow]

must've been less relevant after you got phalanx tho

probably cleaning screen in three casts

[finite glen]

While dislodging casts, if only i got exit wounds

[regal sparrow]

after you got lightn. phanlanx*

it might still be better to go for Stygian

[finite glen]

Why?

[regal sparrow]

for high roll setup with extra stones and cd reduction from Hermes

and Hermes legendary

[winged lava]

ALMOST perfect

[vital ether]

WHAT

Is it possible to fight so many enemies

[winged lava]

well yeah, 40% from the pact and 68% from a chaos blessing xD

[vital ether]

Oh I see xd

Well good job

[stray spoke]

Tanato and Zagreu

[winged lava]

3 enemies spawned on his circle of death close to activation, so for me he only got 2 points u.u

[vital ether]

Chill you got 79

That's more than enough

how rare are Duos exactly?

[signal mulch]

i had a run like that too lol

[rose ruin]

51% dodge chance babyyyyyyyyy. pretty sure I only missed a three encounters of clearing the room within lambent plume's time.

[tiny burrow]

might aswell just unbind your dodge button

[rose ruin]

..Dodge button?

thought you meant there is a specific button to dodge lol

[thin talon]

exclusive access..... you could have given a monkey my controller and they would've been able to finish the run after i got that boon

[violet merlin]

last night finished heat 32 for my beautiful reward 😂

[royal current]

[royal current]

[lunar peak]

[royal current]

oh btw

[lunar peak]

well i certainly got farther than i expected

[finite fjord]

that was way too close for comfort

[lunar peak]

I WOULD HAVE SCREAMED

the hEALTH OML

[finite fjord]

[regal sparrow]

damn, Rama Zeus Special build is stonks!

and doesn't require any titan bloods in rama to function fully

https://youtu.be/wpy1chdgCJo

[mighty marlin]

this has probably been my strongest run yet, i got pretty lucky with duos lol

[simple zenith]

this was a 4 sack

[cosmic kernel]

First Victory with the sword And fifth victory over all

[regal sparrow]

mmm, was meaning to try this serrated point build

why zag spear?

[simple zenith]

because im trying to do 40 heat on all aspects

wouldve probably been better on hades spear tbh

but zag spear happened to be the one i was playing

[regal sparrow]

damn, that's hardcore )

managed almost perfect Lambent Plume Zag Sword build. Was missing Smoldering Air and 3 sack + some unlucky rooms prevented this from being a record (Zeus Boons were lacking tbh)

[simple zenith]

not that hardcore haha but i appreciate it

[regal sparrow]

lol, wanted to say that I barely made it once thru heat 32 and never wanna do it again so Heat 40 with really bad spear aspect seems insane to me

with reduced dash range of all things!

[simple zenith]

i have played this game a lot

[regal sparrow]

I figured that out )

anyway, Lambent Plume build f-ing melted dad

https://youtu.be/ZGQJy-IO9a0

[random scaffold]

Sweet mad_lee

I just did a LP build myself. Got it to 24% on EM4 - Poseidon aspect
