Then i did another run immediately afterwards and only died once on EM4

It isn't a good build, and this was the last weapon I hadn't beaten a run with, but it worked

@foggy echo Heyy, nice job!

#

With a run like that, I have no doubts that you can one day get sub 19

foggy echo
#

Thanks a lot, I think it would of been wayway faster if the sack was not in the last room.

slate flower
#

Ugh, yeah. That is a mood for sure.

#

With the sack, it's just a guessing game.

foggy echo
#

I am still super stoked I managed to get it under 20 minutes.

#

Sub 20 is nothing to scoff at, though.

#

Keep it up. :)

#

With that Determination, you can go far!

foggy echo
#

Thanks hahaha, didn't expect for people to actually comment on my performance here hahahaha.

#

Hey, beating Hades is an accomplishment of it's own.

#

To beat him in under 20 minutes is great. :D

foggy echo
#

I'm having a sort of competition with friends and currently nobody comes close to 20 minutes so I am super happy with my score hahaha.

#

Congrats! Looks like you made a huge leap on your times shadethumbsup

pallid iron
#

Well, I wasn't really trying before: I always looked really carefully for Urns and such

#

And almost always did Infernal Troves, and cleared out Styx, etc.

#

Plus my planned build worked out pretty well, using Raging Rush to zip across the map super-fast

#

I also ended up laying the groundwork pretty well by dying to Hades on my last attempt with this weapon and Heat, thus setting up post-boss healing boosts through Dark Regeneration.

#

Lambent Plume: 27.6%

#

Meaning 23 encounters worth

#

And I managed to get Hermes's favor in the process

Woah I did a pretty fast time there

Hello guys !

I have a little question i cant find the answer for...

I saw some build 100% with 1 god on youtube and i ve been trying to do the same but i rarely have more than 3/4 boons of the same god during one run,

Does anybody have any idea why ? (i am at 30 runs total and i have beat Hades only once so far...)

Thanks for your time !

If you're confused on which aspect you have equipped, always check.

mint iron
#

Best Iโ€™ve got was 18 with fists

#

I wasnโ€™t even going for speed I just got lucky with satyr sack spawn and got a +40% movement speed boon from hermes

rotund kayak
#

Best combo for speedruns is probably greater haste, hyper dash, and greater reflex

#

But you gotta get lucky with hermes boons

#

Also exclusive access would help in the right situation

mint iron
#

And rail is better for speedrunning

rotund kayak
#

Ah makes sense

north bluff
#

Yeah, Rail is great

#

Especially Eris and that 5 bomb special

i also got a real early rare crop which alloed me to get early strike and flourish heroics

hey guys, don't sleep on bow charged volley build if you get it early on! I was ignoring the special of the bow so much, and this boon made it so good!

pallid iron
#

Cast, Cast, Dash, Power Rush, Special, Repeat

#

Charged Shot + Minotaur Rush is one of my favorite combos in the game

#

Also: Scyllasion, Flameater, Projelly, Stonewhal, Bass

thorn slate
#

wait - you can have charged shot and minotaur rush? I wouldn't have thought they'd be compatible. That's awesome

pallid iron
#

It's insanely powerful.

#

+500% damage! And you are directionally invincible while charging!

#

And the sweet spot is very generous

#

And that charges the Aspect of Chaos

#

And it is both unblockable and piercing

#

Frankly, it needs a nerf

#

Maybe cut the damage bonus in half

#

I mean, seriously, the base damage of that combo is 400.

#

Well, sort of

#

It doesn't quite scale like that, I know

this is old news here cus i said it in story a couple days back but this build beat Hades(The father of the year) first go!

You've got to be kidding me

?

pallid iron
#

That is hilarious

royal current
#

the hydra thing?

#

tight deadline is actually bad for in game time

pallid iron
#

That the marginal benefit off that outweighs the actual difficulty increase

royal current
#

it removes survival rooms

#

which pause the in game timer

pallid iron
#

Huh

royal current
#

however it is actually good to remove those when going for real time

#

since it takes a long time to finish those

pallid iron
#

Weird that it removes them and pauses the timer

#

You'd think it would be one or the other

thorn slate
#

my best run is like 25 mins

royal current
#

it basically comes down to being skilled enough where you can capitalize on runs where rng lets you get a good time

Hades isn't as RNG-heavy as it initially appears, Daedalus Hammers aside.

#

#

it's a lot

#

pallid iron
#

Sack RNG is another thing that can't be manipulated

royal current
#

it sucks

#

sometimes you get to styx on super good pace and then 3 sack ruins it

#

just how it is

pallid iron
#

I imagine King Vermin isn't friendly to speedruns either

royal current
#

tiny vermin is the [hecking] worst

pallid iron
#

As a non-speedrunner I sort of love it, though

#

I've never actually died to it. I credit initially encountering it with a good Aegis run, which allowed me to spend more time blocking and figuring out how it fights

#

Anyway, congratulations on your run.

#

I think my best time is around triple that. I used the Aspect of Achilles then too, since the spear was up for Darker Thirst and I figured it would be useful to zip around the map

silver glacier
#

guys, does attack damage% increase dash strike damage too? Judging by my latest run, it felt like it does, but I'm just unsure. Any of you guys know maybe? Also, with frost strike my dash strike became chilled effect too, so i guess I answered my question

it does

Been a while since I had time to play, but I got an amazing win with the fists. Honestly there were just too many good boons that I don't think I could have managed to lose unless I tried. And yet, until I got to Hades I was almost certain it was just a run waiting to get destroyed. And then I didn't even use a DD on him lol.

daring wasp
#

It's been a while since I did this, but this was a nuts enough build that I had to share it: Simply put, the Gods loved me, Chaos loved me, and Hermes was at least ambivalent. 5 Duo Boons acquired (and in hindsight I realize that I had the wrong set-up to get the Artemis-Athena one), with the Extra Cast and Cast Damage from Chaos combining exquisitely with Fully Loaded, Parting Shot, and Mirage Shot. That Epic Blinding Flash then had me see cast-damage numbers in the 3.3-3.8k range depending on how lucky I was with Pressure Point Procs (Heartrend, Baby!!!). 1/3

Just load in all the Bloodstones, ram into someone, then have the lightning melt them. Made extremely short work of Hades's second phase.

Heat doesn't really get difficult until like 32 IMO

#

Then it gets a lot harder as you go up through 40, 45 and so on

quick river
#

i think its more that some heat options are just disproportionately harder
you could do 5 heat with timer, EM2, and a blue heart
OR FO2

#

higher heat there's just no more easy options to choose from

I had to get that boon because of satyr sack RNG

#

I wanna do it again and try to not get boons

#

I wanna see what happens with no boons

quick river
#

yea, it sucks to get the boonless win robbed by rng

#

something you could try is take the room reroll instead of boon from mirror

#

especially since you dont need the boon one at all

thorn slate
#

Is there any special dialogue if you manage to beat your first run on a fresh save, boonless?

#

I imagine that would be insanely hard though

#

Since you have no rerolls, you'd have to have lots of selling wells

quick river
#

ive heard that there isnt unfortunately

thorn slate
#

I guess they never expected anyone to do it then

quick river
#

he probably wont give you boonless dialogue either, im guessing the first encounter dialogue has highest priority

ive had a lot of fun with it, usually in combination with artemis

nice

or just plain zeus with jolt and double bolts

double strike is really good

especially on fast hitting weapons like fists guns or aspect of rama special

usually end up needing some better single target though

which is where arti comes in

What even is that luck

chilly tiger
#

wow

pallid iron
#

Everything in that run synergized ridiculously well. A single Cast fired two shots, which dealt massive damage and knocked everything back, causing them to be hit with lightning. After 2.5 seconds the Bloodstone falls out of enemies, where they proceed to strike everything nearby with lightning. And every single time I just mentioned lightning, that fires an electric bolt. Oh, and there's a chance of the lightning firing twice

#

AND THAT WAS JUST THE CAST

#

My God Gauge also charged really fast, and Poseidon's Aid makes you invincible and causes a massive amount of knockback (more lightning, more bolts).

#

And all the lightning has a massively increased AoE

#

Meanwhile my Spin Attack charges up super-fast, deflects everything, heals me, Exposes enemies, and deals more damage with the aforementioned deflection

#

My Special pierces, causes lightning to strike (more lightning, more bolts), has AoE, and can be charged for even more damage and range

#

And I had Divine Protection, the best Boon in the game (in my opinion). I didn't even take a hit in the entire Hades fight, and I cannot ascribe that to skill alone.

humble grotto
#

i mean you got hit 4 times just the acorn protected you

pallid iron
#

Yeah, that's part of it

#

I don't know how many hits Divine Protection absorbed

#

That was definitely one of my best Hades fights

#

Actually, Boiling Point didn't help, did it? Because I never took damage

humble grotto
#

yeah thats some luck tho

#

personally i think athena dash(cant be bothered to remeber the name) is best becuase you become immune to damage at the press of a button

pallid iron
#

I had that too

rigid wing
#

Yeah, and it deflects all projectiles

#

Which is super useful in asphodel especially

pallid iron
#

Divine Dash is great, but you are invulnerable during a Dash anyway. Divine Protection is guaranteed to help

#

I think

#

I don't know how it fares against lasers, actually

what a thrilling run, first attempt of heat 8, was really struggling for time & damage until I hit elysium and found merciful end & charged shot, after that it was a sweep - didn't pop acorn against hades which was also a really nice feeling | 9 streak with chaos shield, it is my boiii

the fists make that kinda fun, though.

Breaching Cross + Hunter Dash though ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Dash attacking for me is good with: Sword, Spear, Shield, and Fists

Ranged weapons not so much

can i point out i've been just doing this all by trial by fire? i've been doing this blind for a while. been trying to get an ares and party wine guy who's name i never remember, but they're never popping up together, no matter how much i force wine god to pop up.

It's just RNG

I'm curious - is it the legendary keepsakes that allows u to start really cutting down the run times?

#

Yes! New personal best for time on 16h EM4!

Using Athena and Stubborn Defiance to get that extra DD when I was in Styx really sealed the deal and let me DPS-race Hades even after getting 5-sacked.

Only way I see this going more quickly is if I'd gotten 2 or 3 more dashes instead of just +1, or just not gotten 5-sacked.

because i feel like i'm running decently efficient - couple clears, about 36 minutes. i'm sure i could shave 5-6 minutes off the run just from efficiency / boon / damage i select
